Suddenly, his back felt wet, as if someone had poured a bucket of hot water on him. What was going on? Ye Congwen quickly opened his eyes and looked:
I saw a huge two-foot-wide ax shining brightly stuck in the cow's neck, reflecting a dazzling light, and all the bright red cow blood sprayed on his back, soaking his clothes with heat.
"Xiao Congwen, just say something before you die!"
A rough and heroic voice exploded in the ears, like thunder, making people's ears ring.
"Brother Rulang, you are finally here! You came just in time!"
Ye Congwen turned over and climbed up, staring at the nearly three-meter-tall burly man in front of him with joy. He felt so safe that he was not afraid even if the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked. The strong man with the first iron tower in Iron Tower Village lived up to his reputation! With a clang,
Ye Congwen fell peacefully into the thatch and muttered something:
"My legs are numb, let me lie down for a while."
Within half a moment, a group of giants had surrounded them several times, and the hunters were catching up with them.
Seeing that both of them were fine, everyone strode forward to observe the decapitated bull.
The giant ax cut off the cow's neck without any bias, cutting off the entire trachea and blood vessels, which shows how terrifying the power in this man's hands is.
"Being able to cut out such a neat bowl mouth with just one blow of an ax from a distance of twenty meters, no one else in the village could be found except Sister Hu."
A bald man who was about 2.8 meters tall saw that Ye Rulang's gaze became cold and his eyes shone with a startling cold light. This was a sign that he was going to go crazy, so he quickly covered up for Xiao Congwen.
"You lost the nine gold coins you got, so you have nothing to say?"
Ye Congwen saw the cold light shining in Ye Rulang's eyes, which was breathtaking, and the joy in his heart disappeared instantly. The animal trainer in Qingshan Town offered a gold coin for one thousand catties, and this pioneering bull was at least nine thousand catties.
, the first one caught this year, a rare commodity! I sold one or two more gold coins, and many people rushed to get it, but the prerequisite is that the cow is alive and cannot be injured.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have disembarked from the boat and watched the excitement."
Ye Congwen looked embarrassed and full of regrets. He should never have disembarked from the boat and lost a pioneer cattle worth nine gold coins. This was half a month's expense for more than 300 people in Tieta Village!
"How many times have I told you? Don't get off the boat casually. Even we are afraid of these ferocious beasts in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. If you come here with little arms and legs to join in the fun, aren't you looking for death?
If you have something wrong, how can I explain it to grandpa? Today is the first day of arrests in autumn, and you did something like this, making everyone's day's work in vain. Tell me, how should I punish you?"
Ye Congwen was snatched away by the angry Ye Rulang, and when he heard the sighs of the tribesmen around him, his face instantly turned pale. Yes, his little stature of 7.7 meters was in the eyes of these three-meter-tall giants.
It seems that he is just a weak child.
If you make a big mistake, you should be reprimanded. If it weren't for the fact that you are an orphan, you might have to use your fists.
"You were right to get off the boat and go ashore! The mistake is that you shouldn't have brought the little bean sprouts to the hunting ground! Is this a place she can come to? If Ye Rulang hadn't arrived in time, you would have been killed by her!"
Everyone made room for a passage, and a woman with a body no less powerful than Ye Rulang walked in. Her eyes were bright, and her wheat complexion looked particularly bright under the sun. The person who came was none other than Hua Sihu, the number one hunter of the Flower Clan.
, Ye Rulang’s fiancée.

"Sister Tiger."
Ye Congwen knew that the giants of the Hua and Ye clans had never been very friendly to the people of the Wood clan. If they made such a big move today, they would not look good on Mu Dou Ya.
Hua Sihu looked at the two bloody men, Ye Congwen and Mu Dou Ya, paused for a long while, then stared at Mu Dou Ya with an unkind expression and asked:
"Why are you following me? Is this a place that you, a bean sprout, can come to?"
"Me, I helped Brother Congwen clean the dirty blood on the boat. When I heard the noisy gongs and drums here, I wanted to come over and see the excitement, so I begged Brother Congwen to take me to open my eyes."
Knowing that these strong men and fierce sisters were prejudiced against him, Mudouya could only answer evasively.
"Wearing such bright colors to see the excitement, do you want to attract attention or attract the attention of pioneers?"
Hua Sihu discovered the crux of the matter from afar, but was too far away for the sound to reach her.
Ye Congwen saw that Mudouya was at a loss for words and hesitated. He couldn't bear the flames of war to be burned on the little girl, so he had to take the blame and said:
"Sister Hu, it's all my fault for being careless and not noticing in advance that she was wearing a red dress."
"Don't speak for her. I know who is responsible. Our three tribes of Mosaic and Leaf Mu in Tieta Village have always had a clear division of labor. The giants of the two tribes of Mosaic and Leaf hunt and cut down trees, and the little men of the Mu tribe build houses and boats. We have long warned them not to step on it.
Half a step into the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. She is fifteen years old, haven't her parents taught her?"
Hua Sihu stared at Douya Ya, so frightened that Douyao could only hide behind Ye Congwen.
"You come to this barren mountain and you dress up so beautifully, do you think we don't know your little thoughts? Don't you just want to imitate your Aunt Mu Xi, and also want to find a good husband among the two tribes of flowers and leaves?
I’m telling you, pigeon sprouts, don’t have any wishful thinking, we are not Uncle Infinite, and we won’t be stupid enough to harm our own descendants!”
Several giants stood up next to them and accused them in unison. This made Ye Congwen very embarrassed. Who allowed himself to be the son of Ye Wuwu and Mu Xi?
"Don't talk about us. If Uncle Wufen Quanxia had any knowledge and would harm Xiao Congwen like this, I think he would definitely not marry a woman from your Mu tribe!
I advise you to give up on this idea. The old patriarch said that no one with a height of less than 2.5 meters and a weight of less than 250 kilograms will be considered!"
Everyone was filled with anger and shared the same hatred, as if they had sworn hatred. Ye Congwen's face became even more embarrassed, and each small word pierced his heart.
It's a pity that I can't refute. Who allowed me to inherit my mother's physique? My father is the strongest man in Tieta Village, taller and more powerful than the three-meter-tall Ye Rulang. As long as he inherits even a little bit, he won't get it.
It's a nickname given to me by a young man. It's understandable for an older person to call it that, but it sounds really embarrassing for a seven- or eight-year-old child to call it that.
"I just want to be a companion to Brother Congwen. How can you accuse someone unjustly?"
Mudou Ya replied with a flat mouth, watery eyes, and thin shoulders that kept shaking, obviously trying to restrain himself.
"Still crying? Don't cry! You are still wronged, aren't you? If it hadn't been for the fact that your Aunt Mu Xi was delicate and frail, and the children were born with her, my Uncle Wufen would not have died young.
Xiao Congwen, you should stay away from those paper people of the Mu tribe from now on, your mother has hurt you enough, please don’t hurt your son again in the future!"
The pigeon sprouts on the side saw the giants of the flower and leaf tribes, big and small, young and old, scolding and admonishing Ye Congwen, and they also treated Ye Congwen in their words.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The mother was disrespectful and immediately retorted:
"Do you people have fleshy hearts? My Aunt Mu Xi has been dead for seven or eight years, and you still blame her and scold her? After all, she is also Ye Congwen's mother and the wife of Uncle Wuxi
, isn’t she also your aunt based on seniority?
Besides, what’s wrong with us Mu tribesmen who are so thin and short? Your clothes, shoes, houses, and wooden boats were all made for you by people like us named Mu. Can your fingers as thick as a rolling pin thread needles, thread, and weave clothes and cut cloth?”
When the giants saw that the little girl dared to talk back, they immediately wanted to deal with her in a bad temper. Seeing this, Ye Congwen quickly stood in front of the pigeon sprouts and argued to the giants:
"We are all from Tieta Village and we work together to learn from each other's strengths. Why do we have to say these different things?"
Ye Rulang stopped the giant who was about to move and asked the pig bean sprouts:
"Little Douya, from what you said, do you think that without you, the Wood Tribe, we, the giants of the Flower and Leaf Tribes, would have to live naked? That's good. From tomorrow on, you smart people from the Wood Tribe will go hunting in the mountains, and we, the stupid people from the Flower and Leaf Tribes, will
Stay at home and sew and weave."
Although Mu Dou Ya is angry, he is not a brainless and arrogant person. He knows that the Mu tribe is a carpenter, and it is no problem to do some fine woodworking. But when it comes to hunting and felling trees, facing those bloodthirsty and cruel beasts and raptors, the Mu tribe
Dozens of people put together can't compare to one giant. He quickly defended:
"I don't mean that. It's just that you always blame me, Aunt Mu Xi, and look down on us Mu people. Of course I have to speak up for them. We don't eat for free. We have done a lot of things. Why do you look down on us?
?”
"Really? Since you are so capable, you should make up for today's loss. This pioneer cow is worth ten gold coins. If you make up the money, I will pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, I will definitely go
Your family is asking your father to compensate you!"
Hearing Hua Sihu's words, Mudouya turned pale with fear. Ten gold coins are one hundred silver coins and one hundred thousand copper coins. A carpenter's day's work only costs thirty cents. It would take ten years of work without eating or drinking to get enough.
Ten gold coins. If my father knew that he had gotten into such a big trouble, he would be angry to death.
"Why don't you say anything? Do you not want to admit the blame? If you hadn't joined in the fun and ran ashore and were unwilling to take off that red coat, would we have had to kill the pioneer cow to save you?"
The giants on the side spoke one after another. Ten gold coins are equivalent to half a month's expenses for two to three hundred people in the entire Iron Tower Village. Bumi, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, what can you buy without spending money?
Douya held back her tears and looked at the giant stubbornly, neither agreeing nor rejecting. She felt very regretful in her heart. She should have known better that she shouldn't have forced Ye Congwen to take her to watch the excitement.
"I will pay for it! The pioneer cow died because of me, and I also brought the pigeon sprouts. This money should be counted on me.
Like Brother Lang and Sister Tiger, please send someone to pick out the meat from the Pioneer Cow, and while it’s still early, I’ll take it to Qingshan Town and sell it!”
Ye Congwen knew that Mudouya's family was even poorer than his own. His father had a leg problem and his mother had to take care of three or four children. It was good to have a full meal, so how could he still have money to compensate?
"You have to think clearly, this pioneering cow only has two to three thousand kilograms of meat at most. Even if you buy it for fifteen cents per kilogram, it will only have four or five gold coins at most. And there are only three to four hundred households in Qingshan Town, so it is impossible for every household to
Every household will buy you ten pounds of beef."
Ye Rulang analyzed it in detail, what the giants want is just for the pigeon sprouts to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and stop plotting bad things to harm the flower and leaf tribes in the future. What can you do and where do you stand?
