Chapter 78: Alpaca Cavalry

I am not sure what kind of woman she is, but this initiative and behavior alone made me have some disgust to her. Although she did such a thing for me, she wanted to please me, close the relationship with me, and find a stable support for herself in the future. But if a woman is too contemptuous, she will always be looked down upon.

After coming back, Lucie snuggled up to me very actively.

I don't want her to stick to me and express my thoughts euphemistically: "Sister Xi, you shouldn't do this. I already have Wan Xue and Yu Tong, and I won't be emotional to other women. You are not good for both of us."

"I didn't have you to do anything to me." Lucie's tone was very dull: "If it weren’t you and I had still been slaves in that tribe, you saved me the last time I was captured by cannibals. I just want to repay you."

"You'd better lie back in your original position, we can't do this."

Lucie hesitated for a moment, got up and moved.

When I woke up in the morning, Lucie behaved naturally, as if nothing had happened last night. After she visited Zhang Yutong, she told me that Zhang Yutong had basically reduced her fever. I should be able to see her by noon.

The wonderful feeling Lucie brought me last night made me understand that if I continue to let her take care of me tonight, something like last night will definitely happen again.

I offered to suggest: "Sister Xi, you have worked very hard to take care of me these days. Go back to rest tonight and change Yutong to take care of me."

"That's not a line." Lucie rebuffed: "She is not good yet. Do you have the heart to let her suffer?"

"Then Yu Tong definitely doesn't need anyone to take care of her. Let's replace you with Hara Fuji."

Lucie smiled and whispered, "That Japanese woman is not clean, so I'll continue to take care of you."

"Yo, what are you two doing?" Li Ding and Xu Glasses came in together.

Lucie got up quickly, looked at them with a bad face and said, "What do you think we are doing?"

Li Ding smiled and he didn't dare to answer. After Lucie went out, Li Ding asked me about my situation and said Xu's glasses were almost fine. They are going to go down the tree to mow the grass and feed the lambs.

"Can you still take the initiative to think so?" I'm very surprised.

Li Ding said with a smile: "It's just mowing grass nearby, and there is no danger. Brother Fei, you can't get better with your leg injury and waist injury for half a month, can you?"

"It will take almost that long. The last theft was a waste of time." If it weren't for the fall, I would have launched another round of attacks on cannibals.

"Don't think so much." Li Ding comforted and said, "Have a good rest. We haven't had such a peaceful life for some time since we went to the island."

I know this boy is afraid of getting into trouble, and he wish we would live in the tree house tribe for a long time. I was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with them, so I urged them to go down the tree and mow the grass.

As soon as they left, Lucie came back. Anyway, I just lie down and rest, and there is nothing to be taken care of by others, so I let her continue to learn aboriginal languages from Wuwa.

When I was reposing, I heard someone shouting something outside in a panic.

After a while, Li Ding and Xu glasses rushed in. They were very flustered and sweating profusely.

"What's the matter, did the cannibals know that we stole their things and came to retaliate?" I asked eagerly.

Xu glasses came up and sat down and said, "The two of us want to hoard more grass, so that we can not go to work in the fields for several days. But when we go further, I saw a dozen people riding animals like mules instead of mules, like horses instead of horses, coming this way."

"My legs are soft. If Xu glasses hadn't pushed me behind, I might not have been able to climb." Li Ding said with fear.

"What are they wearing?" The tribe can have an animal to ride is definitely not a small tribe, I immediately associated with the big tribe which WuWa had said to me.

The two people looked at each other, and Xu glasses said, "It's five or six hundred meters away, so I can't see it clearly. Just like the ancient cavalry, they emerged from the hill together. But they worn very simple."

The reason why a big tribe can become a big tribe must have its advanced nature, so I ask this question.

"Did they find you when you ran back?" I continued to ask.

"I don't think so." Xu glasses are not sure: "But they are coming this way. I don't know what they are coming here."

"Go and tell WuWa the news." It's a big deal, so we can't help but remind them quickly.

Two people ran out together, and soon WuWa came with several people. Everyone has a bow and arrow in his hand. After saying a few words, they left in a hurry.

All three of us looked at Lucy blankly.

"She said they were the enemy, and no matter what happened, let's not go out." Lucie explained.

"Then we have to know what's going on." I said, "Help me and carry me to the door."

I can't move at all because of my back pain. Three people took great pains to get me to the door of the house and got down together. At this time, the tree house tribe is very quiet, and everyone is either hiding in the tree house or hiding in the dense branches.

In three or five minutes, the cavalry arrived under the big tree, and could only peep into their figure through some cracks. The riding animal has a long neck, and its head is like a sheep and a horse. It is about the same height as a horse, but its figure is slender.

"Do you think the animals they ride are like alpacas in South America?"

"What is an alpaca?" Lucy asked curiously.

"It is the beast grass mud horse." Xu glasses explained.

"I have seen alpacas in the zoo. They are not so big or so tall." Lucy said

I said, "This is not unusual. Alpacas are also divided into several varieties. This alpaca should have been brought to the island a long time ago, and new varieties have evolved to adapt to the environment."

As we discussed, the cavalry were not idle. After circling under the tree, they blew their horns to it.

After a long time, when there was no response from above, the people below began to yell and scold.

Lucie tells us that they seem to have come to ask for someone, and if they don't get what they want, they will attack the Tree House tribe.

Wuwa replied to them, and the two sides bargained for quite a while. I have learned some aboriginal vocabulary and heard them say they want three girls. But Wuwa only promised to give two. I can't understand it later.

After a few bows and arrows came up, Wuwa quickly agreed.

The three girls were chosen to give them. The girls were extremely reluctant and cried incessantly. But they were tied with a rope and dropped to the ground.

The cavalry strung the three girls with ropes, led by one, while the other cavalry watched on both sides and behind. Then they left.

There were not many people in the tribe, and three girls were sent away, which made their families very miserable, but they only cried and lamented constantly.

"Go and call Wuwa and ask what is going on." I said to Lucie.

She was afraid to go out, so I let Xu glasses go.

When Wuwa came over, tears remained on her face.

Lucie has a good sense of language and can already understand many aboriginal words. She acted as an interpreter for us.

Wuwa told us that the cavalry were from big tribes, and they would come here from time to time to ask for important people or collect food from small tribes. Sometimes it comes once after a rainy season, and sometimes it won't appear for two consecutive rainy seasons.

Wuwa's tribe has no food to offer, so they can only give people to them. The little girl was sent to take care of the nobles of the big tribes, while the little boy took care of the nobles' sons. Men work as coolies, women may do cooking and chores, and good-looking girls may for soldiers to enjoy themselves in big tribes.

I asked, "Why don't you small tribes unite against the big tribes who bully you like this?"
