The python and Yang Si fled to the mountain, got into the forest, and quickly climbed up a big tree.
Looking at the long torch below, the python felt a little dizzy. He quickly took out the rope and tied himself to the tree trunk. His vision went dark and he fainted.
Mu Feng and You Lu led their men and searched several times along the Wuxian tribe's territory, but could not find any trace of the enemy, so they had to go back with their men.
Seeing the light of the fire gradually moving away, Yang Si patted the python and said, "Python, they have left. Can we leave?"
Sheep Si barked several times, but the python didn't respond. He was a little anxious and reached out to push him. Suddenly he remembered that the python said he had been bitten by a long insect when it turned over.
It was so dark in the forest that you couldn't see anything, and he wasn't as strong as the python. Even if he scratched his scalp, he couldn't find a way to get him under the tree.
I had to sit in the tree and wait for the python to wake up. When I was free, I realized that my ears were filled with the buzzing sound of mosquitoes, and my exposed body was bitten by large and small mosquitoes, which caused unbearable itching.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!" A crisp slap sounded in the forest.
You Lu and Mu Feng returned to the tribe and said to the warriors at the entrance: "Everyone, please be careful. If someone takes away the food, everyone will be hungry."
The warriors who watched the night loudly responded: "We know that we have never dozed off."
You Lu saw that they didn't look like they were dozing off, so he took Mu Feng and the others back to the tribe.
When Shishan saw them coming back, he stepped forward and looked at him anxiously, "Have you caught the enemy?"
You Lu shook his head, "I didn't catch any of them. I have to go to the pumpkin patch tomorrow morning to see if the pumpkins have been stolen."
Shishan gritted his teeth, "Catch him and tie him up in the forest to feed worms!"
Mufeng smiled and said, "Yes, the bugs are the worst these days."
Shi Shan looked at Mu Feng and the others gratefully, "Thank you. If you hadn't come to tell us, they would have stolen all the pumpkins."
Muba warned: "Chief of Shishan, Su Gu, the pumpkins are about to mature, so everyone should be careful."
Shi Shan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we all rely on these millets and pumpkins to survive the winter. They cannot be stolen."
Mu Feng turned to look at You Lu, "You can't keep vigil like this. You have to have people take turns patrolling around the millet and pumpkin fields to catch the enemy."
You Lu asked how the Yaoshan tribe's patrols were arranged, and turned around quickly, "I'll go over and rearrange the patrolling warriors."
"Thank you. Go back and tell Brother Yaohu that everyone should be more careful." Shi Shan said with a grateful face.
Several people were embarrassed by Shishan and hurriedly said: "Chief Shishan, we are going back to the tribe."
"Okay, I'll take you out."
Shi Shan sent the people to the exit by the river, walked around again when he came back, and repeatedly warned the patrolling warriors before going back and lying down.
The python was unconscious until dawn before he woke up. He only felt pain all over his body as if he had been stepped on by an animal. He weakly looked at the black figure next to him and shouted with all his strength, "Yangsi!"
Yang Si woke up with a start, leaned over and asked, "Mang, are you feeling better?"
The python looked at him weakly, "It's better now. Do you still have the thing I gave you?"
"Here!" Yang Si hurriedly took the pumpkin out of his arms, "Look, I've been holding it."
The boa breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Take it, don't drop it. I'll rest for a while, and then we'll leave." He was worried that after daybreak, people from the Wuxian tribe would come to the forest to look for them.
"Yes." Yangsi put the pumpkin in his front and tied it with a rope.
The python rested against the tree for a while, then woke up Yangsi, and the two of them got off the tree one after the other. The python was holding a wooden stick in one hand and holding on to the shoulder of Yangsi with the other, enduring the discomfort all over his body and moving forward.
It was extremely dark at dawn, and it was impossible to see anyone in the forest. Yangsi held the bone knife tightly and looked around warily. The two of them walked in the dark towards the bamboo forest to the south.

Yang Jiu leaned on the tree trunk and saw that the sky was already bright, but there was no trace of Python and Yang Si yet. He kicked the sleeping Yang San and asked, "Will Python and Yang Si be caught by Wu Xian's people?"
Yang San was having a sweet dream and was suddenly woken up by him. He felt uncomfortable. He gave him a shove with a tigerish face, "You can't think of something good. Foreigners are foreigners."
Yang Jiupei smiled and said: "I'm a little worried, why don't you think about them?" He thought of almost dying before bringing them here. These people were still a little angry towards him as before, he had to...
"Yangsan, you two come down quickly!"
Yang Si's shout came from under the tree, interrupting Yang Jiu's contemplation, and the two quickly slid down the tree.
Yang San looked at Mang panting and said, "Mang, were you injured by Wu Xian's people?"
The python shook his head, "I was bitten by a long worm, and I almost went to serve the gods." He took a breath, "Let's go quickly, Wu Xian will catch up at dawn."
"good!"
Yang San stepped forward to help the python, and the four of them hurried back.
As soon as the day broke, Shi Shan took people to the pumpkin patch to check them one by one. He found the pumpkin vines that had been dragged up from the field. He took a closer look and found a bare melon pedicle, and he cursed in anger.
"Regarding the Dragon Tribe, I think it's more like the Jackal Tribe..."
You Lu followed the trampling marks on the edge of the field and found the position where the python came in. He shouted loudly: "Father, they came in from the outside."
The team on the side said happily: "Fortunately the fence was set high, otherwise all the pumpkins in the field would have been stolen."
"That's right!" Everyone nodded repeatedly.
Shi Shan rushed over to take a look, frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up at You Lu, "From today on, all the warriors and women of the tribe will stay in the tribe. They have to patrol and watch during the day, and they have to guard our food."
"Yes, leader!" the team responded in unison.
Shishan thought about it and said, "You Lu, go to the Yaoshan tribe and tell the Yaohu leader that our pumpkins have been stolen."
"Okay." You Lu responded and led the people towards the Yaoshan tribe.

Yao Xiaoqing got up early and took people to the bamboo forest.
Meng stood at the door holding the barrel. When he saw Yao Xiaoqing and his people coming, he hurriedly left the tribe with his two men and walked towards the river.
"You guys remember, if you meet the Yaoshan tribe, just follow what you said that day."
The warrior glanced at him and said, "According to what happened that day, why are we still in a hurry?"
He choked and glared, "Don't keep the fish traps in the river!" After that, he walked straight away.
The warrior looked at his back and muttered dissatisfiedly, "The fish cages were made by the Yaoshan tribe who taught us to make them!"
Yao Xiaoqing went straight to the Niu tribe and asked Shanyang about it.
Shan Yang told her everything that happened that day, and then said flatteringly: "Qing Wu, after that man was driven away by me, he went to ask Meng again. I don't know what Meng said to him.
."
"Thank you, Chief Shanyang. If those people come again, please send someone to tell us. We will thank you." Yao Xiaoqing said with a smile.
