Chapter 243 The Old Elephant Saves Life
Chapter 243 The Old Elephant Saves Life
The sea at night has a slightly salty and humid smell.
Sleeping at the beach would normally be a bit noisy, but strangely, Mu Qingqing slept particularly soundly.
She hasn't had such a good sleep since the cold winter came.
Until the sun penetrated the tent and shone on Mu Qingqing.
She rubbed her eyes sleepily, got up and opened the curtain.
What comes into view is the scene of the tribesmen working hard.
This went on for several days in a row.
"Mom, you're awake!" Yu'er, sweating profusely, ran over from a distance holding the fourth child in his arms.
Mu Qingqing took out a wet towel to wipe Yu'er's sweat, yawning repeatedly while speaking.
"What time is it now? Why are you sweating so much?"
Yu'er stood there obediently and let Mu Qingqing wipe the sweat off her face.
"It's already eleven o'clock, mother."
As he spoke, the fat boy pointed to the beach not far away, where many little kids who could hardly stand were sitting on the ground playing.
"Mother, I'm helping the tribesmen look after their children."
Mu Qingqing touched her soft little face with a smile.
"You're still a kid yourself, can you still help take care of the kids?"
"Hmph, mother, don't underestimate me."
"Where is your father?" Mu Qingqing looked around but did not see Mo Xiao.
Yu'er approached Mu Qingqing mysteriously, not even noticing that the little one in her arms had been deformed by her.
"Father and the others are in the grove."
Little Old Fourth looked at Mu Qingqing pitifully, and Mu Qingqing inadvertently rescued Little Old Fourth from Yuer's arms.
they?
"with who?"
"Well... there's Uncle Langyi, the orc who looks a lot like my father, and Uncle Huze and Uncle Xianggang..."
Huze and Xianggang?
We mentioned them a few days ago, and they are here today?
Mu Qingqing simply washed up and walked towards the grove.
Before she got there, she had already seen Xilan, who looked exhausted, with a baby elephant standing next to her, whose body was covered in bruises.
The footsteps startled Xilan. She looked up in panic and subconsciously protected her child.
When she saw the person's face clearly, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
"Xilan, what happened?" Mu Qingqing pulled Xilan to a bench on the side.
Seeing the familiar person, Xilan's strength, which she had been trying to maintain, finally collapsed.
She held Mu Qingqing's hand tremblingly and fell into memories.
"The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is too scary. It's not a place where humans can stay. The Stone Vein Clan leader has placed all the nobles and beast warriors and guards of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts under house arrest..."
Ever since Lang Yi said that there would definitely be a fight inside the stone vein, Mu Qingqing anticipated the situation of the beastmen in Wanshou City.
Power struggles always hurt innocent people, no matter where they happen.
"Then how did you get here?"
Logically speaking, after occupying the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, the situation of the Shimai Tribe should be very tense, and it would definitely not be so easy for the beastmen to enter and leave the city.
"There is an Eagle Orc friend in Xianggang who risked his life to run away and found the city lord... and found Lang Yi." Xilan quickly changed the words.
"Lang Yi, let the giant eagle come and rescue us and Hu Ze from their clutches."
Xilan said sadly, "The giant eagle almost died in their hands."
Mu Qingqing seemed to be thinking about something, and touched the frightened head of the baby elephant.
"So what are your plans?"
There was a hint of embarrassment in Xilan's eyes.
"I, I want to live with you..."
Mu Qingqing smiled and nodded, with some joy in her eyes.
"Okay, but this place is different from where you lived before. You need to do everything by yourself. Can you get used to it?"
Xilan and Xianggang are used to a life of luxury and have hardly ever done any laundry or cooking themselves. I don’t know if they can adapt to the new environment.
Xilan thought Mu Qingqing was teasing her, and blushed as she said, "There's nothing I can't get used to. It's enough for us to survive this narrow escape from the City of Beasts and be reunited as a family and to be alive."
During the conversation, Xilan suddenly asked about Aling.
Aling came to the Fuxi tribe when the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. At that time, Xilan asked Pujiu to deliver a lot of rare things. She also learned about Aling's existence from the correspondence between the two.
"I always saw you mention A Ling in your previous letters, but I don't think I saw what you described..."
There was a trace of sadness in Mu Qingqing's eyes, "She passed away."
She briefly mentioned Aling's matter in two sentences. When she heard that the Shimai people had originally planned to wait until Aling gave birth to the cub and then take the cub away, she became even more furious.
She held the hand of the little elephant beside her and spoke in a hurried tone.
"All the kids under ten years old in the city are locked up in one place and brainwashed. They are simply training them to be slaves of their stone veins!"
"My baby elephant was also captured by them. If it weren't for Hu Ze, I would..."
Thinking of the days when the family was separated, Xilan felt angry and furious.
Then, Xilan remembered something and changed the subject.
"Aqing, we can't live here!"
"why?"
"This place is too close to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. If the Stone Vein sets its sights on this place, they will send people here soon. If we want to escape their pursuit, it is best to migrate as far away as possible..."
"get away?"
Mu Qingqing looked at her with amusement.
"Who said we were going to run away from them?"
Xilan was puzzled.
If you don't escape, then there is only one option left: follow.
Mu Qingqing wants to follow the Shimai tribe?
In Xilan's opinion, Mu Qingqing is tough and strong, no less than an orc. The word "conquer" can never be used to describe her.
Xilan wanted to talk but stopped herself, and finally heard Mu Qingqing say it calmly.
"Perhaps soon, we will attack."
Xilan's breathing paused, she thought she had heard it wrong.
Attack? City of Beasts?
Xilan raised her eyes and looked at the hard-working Fuxi people not far away.
In the sunshine, crystal beads of sweat were flowing on everyone's face.
The expressions on their faces were all unusually focused, as if they were full of hope for the future.
Xilan was extremely curious. Did Fuxi's people know that their beast master had such thoughts?
The beast warriors and guards in Wanshou City alone are more than twice as many as the Fuxi people here, not to mention the many strong and powerful orcs in Shimai.
It's as ridiculous and unrealistic as an ant trying to trip up an elephant.
Xilan did not ask Mu Qingqing why she was so confident, because the expression on Mu Qingqing's face said it all.
Following the sounds of trampling, several orcs slowly walked out of the woods.
The leader was Mo Xiao, whose lips were very pale, giving people a feeling of weakness.
Mu Qingqing suddenly remembered that she accidentally hit Mo Xiao while sleeping last night.
She touched her nose guiltily and walked forward. It was not her fault. In fact, her heart knot had not been resolved yet. The two of them should not have slept together.
