The wild woman was sturdy in build and spoke in a voice like a broken gong: "No! What should we do if Taji is gone? What if he meets someone from the Wolf Tribe on the way to Stone City and is killed? I heard there are cannibal tribes on the way to Stone City, and they want to eat human flesh..."
When she howled, Taji's other two savage wives and savage children also howled.
"We can't live without Taji!"
"Yes, my Lord Chief, there are so many warriors in the tribe, why do you want to send Taji?"
"With Taji dead, my children are left without a father."
Taji has dark skin and a loyal character. He usually does whatever the chief tells him to do.
At this time, he was surrounded by his three wives and four children, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
"Master Chief, why don't you let Dotagu go..."
"I'm not going!"
Tagu is Taji's younger brother. When he heard his brother recommend him, Tagu was a little angry: "I haven't found a wife yet. If she dies on the way, then I've lived for nothing for the past ten years."
The warriors blamed each other.
No one wants to go to the faraway Stone City.
The savages have a strong sense of territory, and tribes often fight over territorial issues.
Leaving the familiar tribe means facing many unknown dangers.
Kombu was also a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Guli, why don't we just forget it? Stone City is too far away. Even if you get there, the witch doctors there may not be able to cure Wumu and the others' insect disease."
"More than just ebony."
Maguli straightened her hunched back, and her thin, yellow face showed an unprecedented serious look.
"Many people in the Black Rock Tribe die from insect diseases every year."
"In addition to children, adults can also get worm diseases. Aunt Hala died of worm disease last month."
"We must find a way to cure the bug disease, otherwise the Blackrock Tribe will never be able to grow stronger."
"So I have to go to Stone City this time."
Maguli's eyes were determined.
It was as if the fate of the entire tribe was on her shoulders.
But her words soon attracted the ridicule of both male and female savages.
"Maguli, you are the thinnest, shortest, and weakest female savage in our tribe. You are so hunched that you can't even walk straight. I don't know where you got the confidence to say that you want to go to Stone City?"
"I heard that the wild men in Stone City can use slingshots. Their slingshots can kill prey from very far away."
"The Lord of Stone City is the strongest and wisest savage in the Savage Continent. I heard that his hands are bigger than banana leaves and his hair is thicker than tree roots."
"Maguli has always loved to be in the spotlight."
"Let's not worry about her. It's such a long journey. She might die on the way before she even reaches Stone City."
"That's right. The Wolf Tribe, the Cannibal Tribe, the Red Mud Tribe... If we are caught by them, we will be dead."
After listening to his tribesmen's words, Kunbu's thoughts began to waver.
He looked at Maguli and said, "I think we should just forget it."
"No, if you don't go, I will go alone."
After seeing the Moon Goddess in the raging fire last night, Maguli's wisdom was enlightened a little. At this moment, she knew very firmly what to do next.
Lord Moon touched her face.
Although she was a little hunched and her body would tilt a little when she walked fast, she was a lucky person who was protected by the Moon Goddess.
Lord Moon said she was a good girl.
Then she must do what a good girl should do.
Maguli said no more and turned to walk towards the cave where she lived.
Under the warm sunshine, Mama Magu sat in front of the cave and spent an entire night polishing a palm-sized piece of animal bone into a thumb-sized bone whistle.
The top of the bone whistle was strung together with a hemp rope, and it fit perfectly around Maguli's neck.
Maguli looked at Magu's wrinkled face and felt sad: "Mom, will I die?"
"Won't!"
Magu stretched out his skinny arms to hold Maguli's face and kissed her gently on the forehead: "Good child, Lord Moon God will bless you."
Maguli felt relieved when she received her mother's blessing.
Mum is the high priest of the tribe.
What she said was always accurate.
Mom said she wouldn't die, so she would definitely come back alive.
Maguli took some potato tubers as dry food, said goodbye to her mother, and walked towards the outskirts of the tribe.
When the old chief Kunya heard that Maguli was going to Stone City, he rushed over and stuffed a map made of animal skin into her hands.
"Child, this is what I bought from the market last year in exchange for a lamb leg. Keep it with you. No matter whether you can find a way to cure the worm disease or not, don't forget the way back to the Blackrock Tribe."
"Um!"
Maguli nodded heavily: "Uncle Kunya, I will be back!"
Kunya sighed: "Don't blame Kunbu, he is the chief, he has to lead his people to hunt, find food, and find water before the arrival of midsummer..., so he can't accompany you to Stone City..."
"I know, and I don't blame him."
Maguli glanced at the kumbu in the distance.
Among a group of warriors, Khumbu was not the tallest and strongest savage.
But she still saw him at a glance.
Kumbu and his people had already eaten food made from stewed rabbit meat and stinky fish, and were now preparing to go hunting in the jungle with tools such as stone spears and bows and arrows.
Above the head, three round suns were burning like fireballs, emitting huge heat continuously.
It's not even midsummer yet, but the heat is already unbearable.
Maguli picked a few broad leaves from the roadside and made a sunshade hat to wear on her head.
The thin and small figure was getting farther and farther away from the Blackrock Tribe.
Si Yan gave Maguli a thumbs up in his heart.
Little girl, big energy.
Wish her all the best!
It's a pity that Maguli couldn't establish a time and space connection with her, otherwise giving her a bottle of intestinal worm clearing agent would be enough to cure the worm disease that the savages were so afraid of, and there would be no need to climb mountains and wade through water to go to Stone City to find a witch doctor.
Anyway, wish her good luck!
Si Yan yawned, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the whole room was on fire. The bed was burned down and the walls were cracked.
And she was held in Meadow's arms.
Under the fierce fire attack, the barrier supported by spiritual power was in danger.
Si Yan stood up quickly: "Mei Duo? What happened?"
"The fire broke out." Mei Duo's face turned pale, with big beads of cold sweat oozing out of her forehead: "Fairy Si Yan, you are finally awake, let's go quickly."
"Okay." Si Yan didn't care about the grocery store left by his grandfather at this moment, and pulled Mei Duo to leave the sea of fire.
However, Meiduo grabbed a heavy snakeskin bag and wanted to carry it on her shoulders and take it out.
After the fire broke out, she couldn't wake up Fairy Si Yan, and she didn't know what was important and what was not. She had to go in and out of the fire several times, grabbing some things at random.
She is a master in the Spirit Transformation Stage.
A snakeskin bag weighing just a few dozen kilograms is certainly no problem.
But as soon as she exerted a little force, her breath surged backwards and her throat tasted fishy and sweet, as if she was about to vomit blood.
Si Yan quickly stepped forward to support her: "Mei Duo, what's wrong with you?"
"Fairy, fairy..."
Meiduo's vitality was drained, and the fire broke through the barrier and swept towards them.
