(30.2)

In fact, since the incident, Mu Qing knew that Li Mang’s mood was also a bit down, he just didn’t show it too much in front of her.

He was originally the most prestigious warrior and hunter in this tribe, who had been publicly elected to be the next Da Wu. But because of her, his reputation in the tribe had more or less suffered a blow. Especially when he captured Gang Tu to make an exchange, he had given up the food and animal skins crucial to the survival of the whole tribe during the winter and had chosen to get her back instead, which made them a bit dissatisfied and disappointed.

When she went out to work one day, Naduo even quarreled with the women because she heard them talking about that behind their backs.

Contrary to Li Mang, Yi Jia’s reputation grew rapidly. The main reason for this was that, that night, he secretly went back to Gang Tu’s tribe with a few of the tribe members and led a successful sneak attack, where he took back all of the animal skins and some of the food, before finally lighting a fire to burn the rest of the things he couldn’t take with him. This was really great news for the people in the settlement, especially after they had thought for a while that their resources would never return.

Since her return, Mu Qing had been sleepless, tossing and turning around, thinking about the whole matter.

The very night he had rescued her, Li Mang had asked her why she had left the settlement and ended up as a captive with Da Wu. She vaguely understood what he meant by listening to his words and guessing, and was almost about to say that it was Da Wu who had tricked her into going out of the settlement. But she finally refrained from saying it.

After all, Da Wu was still the chief here, and she was afraid that if Li Mang knew about it, he would have a head-on conflict with him, which she didn’t want to see.

Li Mang thought that she didn’t understand his words, and at that time, he just stroked her hair and didn’t ask anything more.

What made her feel a little strange was that Da Wu, who had suffered such a severe trauma, didn’t say a single word about the whole thing after he returned. She knew that Li Mang had gone to him afterward as well, most likely to ask the same question he had asked her. But from the look on his face when he returned, it was clear that Da Wu hadn’t given him any clear and satisfactory answer, for he appeared gloomy and helpless.

It was an obvious thing that, for Naonao’s sake, Da Wu wanted to banish her from the area. But then they encountered Gang Tu’s tribesmen and both of them became captives. Such an incident, if it wasn’t for the strange assassination move on Li Mang later on, as well as Tu Lu’s unusual behavior, she might have let herself believe that it was indeed a coincidence. But now, it was quite possible that this incident wasn’t just a coincidence.

Mu Qing felt that she had caught a link to the general scheme of things. She was gradually and boldly waving a schema of the events?: Da Wu had decided to trick her into going out to abandon her, and Tu Lu found out about it. For some reason, he decided to use this opportunity to do some things. He then colluded with Gang Tu to have him kill the unprepared Li Mang after the hostage exchange, with the food and animal skins being the requirement. The fact that he turned back so often at that time might have been a signal, or he was urging Gang Tu.

The old Da Wu was an old fox. So although he fell into Gang Tu’s hands in a moment of carelessness and suffered a lot. But he most likely also had the same suspicions as she did. Was it possible that he had sensed some clues, and that was the reason why he kept his mouth shut about the whole matter when he returned? Naturally, he certainly did not mention his ill will towards her.

Mu Qing felt that her speculations made sense. The only thing she could not figure out right now was why that man with the black scar was stopped by Gang Tu when he was about to do something harmful to her.

He clearly said something at the time but she didn’t understand it.

She didn’t think the morality of these people had reached the height of thinking there was anything wrong with molesting or raping a female captive in public.

Which meant there was a reason.

Could it be that Tu Lu had mentioned beforehand to Gang Tu that he was not allowed to touch her? But why did he purposely want…… to protect her? On a daily basis, he had a very cold relationship with Li Mang, and he was even less of a friend to her.
