chapter 7
Minuo didn't want Mu Liang to take risks, especially when he had a new life he yearned for.
"There is no danger." Mu Liang looked up at the gray sky and saw a beam of sunlight shining down in the distance.
After a while, the sun was blocked by clouds again.
Muliang is just a reminder to the people in the camp, if you don't believe it.
The day after tomorrow, he will leave with the girl.
In such a world, one has to do what is needed to be kind.
"By the way, how do you relate to the people in the camp? Do you have friends?"
Muliang still doesn't know the girl's social circle very well.
"A few people who caught small lizards together, the relationship is okay."
Mino turned his head to look into the distance, and said indifferently: "I'm hiding the other people."
"Little buddy?" Mu Liang asked softly.
"It should be... probably." Mino's eyes were a little erratic, and he scratched his cheek in a jealousy.
She thought of the few people who had caught the little lizards together. They didn't catch as many little lizards as her, and she wanted to grab her little lizard.
As a mutator, the girl was conceivable as a result. She beat and cried those few people, but instead was robbed by her several times.
After , those few people kept avoiding her.
"It doesn't seem to be a partner." Mu Liang saw the girl's performance and understood what was going on.
It can also be seen from this that the girl's previous life was very difficult.
So, he is Minor's first friend.
. .
Evening.
Muliang, Minuo returned to the camp wooden shed.
"Today's harvest is so much." Mino squatted by the fire, playing with the little lizard happily.
A total of forty-five small lizards were captured today.
Twenty-three small lizards were caught by the tricolor lizards, and the rest were caught by the two.
In addition to the small lizard, he also caught three slap-sized mice.
Muliang sharpened his saber and asked, "Have you always eaten little lizards?"
"Yes, occasionally if you are lucky, you can eat a little hare meat." Mino replied without looking up.
Today, it was really a bumper harvest, and she usually only caught two or three small lizards.
"Are you full?" Mu Liang's hand sharpening his saber paused.
"Full?"
Mino tilted his head for a while, and said distressed: "I don't know what is full."
I haven't eaten enough, how do I know what it's like to be full?
"..." Mu Liang listened to the girl's sad words, and then faced the girl's dazed and probing eyes.
He was inexplicably irritable, and threw the stone that sharpened his saber.
"What's the matter?" Mino blinked his blue eyes blankly.
"It's okay, I'll go to the camp for a stroll." Mu Liang put his saber back into the scabbard around his waist.
He is going to inquire about the situation in the camp, and then publicize the thief's attack.
Well, take a break by the way.
"Be careful," Mino exhorted.
She wants to stay to deal with the small lizards, and dry the water to make dried meat, so that it can be stored for a longer time.
"Okay." Mu Liang took his backpack, hit the wooden shed door and hid in the shadow of the surrounding wooden shed houses.
It is dark now in the evening.
There is no moonlight in the sky.
Such a dark environment is just suitable for Muliang's action.
The smell of barbecue was exuding in the air, and the leaking cracks in the wooden shed house revealed a little light.
But it's more quiet, and the sound of sleeping in some wooden shed houses.
After all, if you don't have enough to eat, you should do less activity and sleep more.
Muliang learned from the girl that there is a hunting team in the camp, which is responsible for hunting some wild animals in the distance.
For example: hares, tortoises, wild dogs, etc.
The food from the hunt is distributed to those who work for the camp leader; as for the rest, the leader will not take care of it.
You have to pay taxes when you live in the camp. This is a bargain between the leader and the hunting team to shelter everyone.
Living alone in the wild is very dangerous. You may be attacked by wolves or encounter beasts.
From Muliang's point of view, the most important thing to make people in the camp willing to pay taxes is that the water source is controlled by the leader.
Tax-paying talents can get a piece of water, a piece of water that prevents people from dying of thirst.
One of the main reasons why Muliang came out at night was to prepare more water for the day after tomorrow.
The camp is not big, but it is divided into two levels, inside and outside.
There is a fence made of wood and stone in the inner layer, where the leader and the hunting team live.
The outer layer is for people who pay taxes like girls to live.
The two-meter-high fence, Mu Liang easily turned over, avoiding the patrollers.
The smell of roasted meat with the air in the inner layer is very rich, and the firewood is burned very well.
Muliang occasionally passes by some wooden houses, and there are still reverie sounds from inside.
"In such an environment, you are not afraid of getting sick."
Mucong spit out in his heart, and plugged back the rocks he pulled out.
The leader's house is in the middle of the camp.
Muliang walked around the house and was surprised to find that the house was more than 400 square meters in size.
is already the size of a basketball court.
"Really luxurious." Mu Liang sighed.
also understands what the people working for the leader in the camp are doing.
Muliang picked a remote corner and easily climbed into the leader's house.
He fell silent, there was a burning fire in the room, and the light was not very dark.
"It should be a side house here." Mu Liang murmured.
He listened to the discussion from the depths of the house and judged his position.
After observing for a while, Mu Liang found that there were seven or eight maids.
He followed one of the maids who was holding a clay pot to a guarded room at the door.
Muliang stayed quietly in the shadow of the corner, coupled with the ability to "mime-change color", he was not afraid of being spotted at a distance of a few meters.
glanced around, he found that this room didn't even have a window, and the only entrance was that door.
Not long after, the maid came out holding a clay pot filled with water, escaped the hand of the gatekeeper, and left amidst anger.
Muliang temporarily remembered the room where the water was released, and followed the maid again to a bright hall.
There are four people in the hall, eating dinner at this time.
The maid put the clay pot on the table and did not immediately fill the people around with water. Instead, she caught a hare, cut her throat with a knife, and dripped blood into the pot.
Muliang suddenly lost interest in that pot of water, and was about to leave to explore other rooms.
The four people's conversation caught his attention.
"Go down."
The middle-aged man sitting in the first place waved his hand to the maid.
He used a clay bowl to directly pour blood water from the clay pot and pour it into his mouth.
The maid bent over and stepped out of the hall.
"Boss, are we really leaving here?"
"As long as we less water the vegetables, we can still support it for several months."
"Watering those vegetables is a waste."
After the maid left, the other three people spoke up.
Those vegetables are enjoyed by the leaders, and only a little bit out occasionally, the three of course are dissatisfied.
"boom!"
The leader slapped the table suddenly, and said coldly: "Don't go, stay here and wait for death?"
He poured a bowl of blood into his mouth again, and said in a low voice, "The water in that underground well will last for another ten days at most.
If you don't leave then, everyone will die of thirst. "
"It's too difficult to find a new source of water." One of them whispered.
"We can move to Yuetan tribe, they should accept us." Another person said.
The last person agreed: "I agree to go to the Moon Lake Tribe. We can join their hunting team."
The leader's face was cold and refused: "Impossible, I would not agree to go to the Moon Lake Tribe."
A camp leader went to other tribes, he was afraid that he would not even be a small leader.
He is absolutely reluctant to get used to being a master and let him be a slave.
"Where shall we go?"
"I don't want to die of thirst."
"If there is no water source, I will take my family to the Moon Lake Tribe."
said three people dissatisfied.
"I have sent someone to find the water source. If there is no result after five days, we will go to the Moon Lake Tribe." The chief looked at the three in front of him, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Okay, then we will wait another five days."
The three of them ate the barbecue, poured a few bowls of blood, and got up and left.
"..." Mu Liang stayed quietly in the corner, watching the whole process coldly.
He had no idea that the camp was running out of water.
Besides, there are vegetables, which surprised him.
