Chapter 4 Fever Lives in the Tribe
It's a pity that Li Mo had a high fever that night before she started working.

The continuous torment and surprise caused Li Mo, who lived in the city since she was a child, to develop a high fever. She couldn't get used to the food or the climate here.These are the beginnings of the pain.

Ying Bai looked at Li Mo, who was rolling on the bed, sweating and feverish, feeling extremely anxious.Originally some medicinal materials could cure fever, but now it's winter, those plants haven't grown yet, Ying Bai said a few words to the feverish Li Mo, and then hurried out.

Li Mo only heard the words Tribal, Please, and the high fever kept her running, so she didn't have time to think about it.

After a long time, Li Mo felt that she was surrounded by a pair of big hands, and then was gently hugged, without cold or bumps.Yes, the familiar smell of hay, who is it...

When she opened her eyes again, Li Mo found herself lying naked on a stone bed, covered with a piece of animal skin that smelled sour from sweat. Li Mo suddenly felt like throwing up, but she had no strength at all. , The whole body is cold and tight.

I heard the sound of someone walking in the distance, and it turned out to be a strong man who walked in, with a bearded face, a messy head, a pair of big and round eyes, a large animal skin wrapped around his body, and nothing on his feet. Put on.

Li Mo watched the man approaching helplessly, then saw that she was awake, her eyes were shining, she stepped forward and wanted to pull Li Mo up, Li Mo was so frightened that tears were about to come out, suddenly Ying Bai rushed in, Standing in front of the man, he looked at the man fiercely.

"Go away!" A heavy voice sounded, the man raised his fist and was about to hit Yingbai, another woman walked in outside, scolded the man, the man gave Yingbai a fierce look and left .

"Yingbai." Li Mo was frightened, and looked at Yingbai with teary eyes.

The woman said a few words, Ying Bai looked back at Li Mo hesitantly.

"Li Mo, don't be afraid. This is in the tribe. I'll be guarding outside. This is the priest of the tribe. Don't be afraid." After a few comforting words, Ying Bai felt the woman's strange and contemptuous eyes out.

The woman was about 40 years old, her black hair was tied with a straw rope, and she had a strong figure. Although this word should not be used on a woman, this priest was really strong, and Li Mo was still a little scared.

"Are you feeling better? I'm the priest of the tribe—Amai. You had a fever before, and I applied herbal medicine for you." The woman stepped forward to help Li Mo and said with a smile.

"Ahem. Thank you. Excuse me, my clothes."

"Ah, wait a minute." The woman ran not far away to pick up Li Mo's clothes, "Here you are, this dress is really nice, how did you make it?"

Li Mo cursed secretly in her heart, this woman is not simple.

"It used to be in the tribe. My tribe no longer exists. I don't understand these things." Li Mo pretended to shake her head innocently, showing a sad expression.

The woman didn't think too much about it, "Don't be sad, your life will be better when you come to our tribe."

what!When did I say I want to live with them.

"What about Yingbai, I want to be with him." Li Mo thought of the man just now, and her heart trembled.

A Mai frowned upon hearing this.

"You mean Yingbai? He is a disaster star and will not live in our tribe."

Hearing the woman's disgusting voice, Li Mo was a little annoyed.

"You don't know yet, when he was young, his mother died after giving birth, and his father also died after a while. How can a healthy person die? Don't tell me, later his mother's mother died. Seeing that he was pitiful, I came to take care of him, but who knew that she died by the river one night, it was really terrifying!" the woman said naggingly, her eyes were full of viciousness, With a somewhat unlucky look, I'm afraid Li Mo won't believe it.

Li Mo put on her clothes, but she didn't dare to speak back rashly. This woman is a priest, which proves that she is very respected in the tribe. Even she is such a barbaric and vicious person. Others will not treat Yingbai well. No wonder Yingbai looked a little mocking and lonely when he talked about the tribe.

"Then, why does Yingbai live alone? Is he still from your tribe?"

The woman was about to say no, but she couldn't help spitting when she thought that Yingbai had helped them repel another tribe's siege some time ago.

"He is a disaster. Could it be that the tribe can't bury him with him? He can hunt by himself when he is nine years old. He moved out voluntarily."

Li Mo frowned. A nine-year-old child is expected to live alone in such a harsh environment. Li Mo looked outside, and vaguely saw some reed huts and children.Basically, a clan can be formed here, but to let Yingbai fend for itself, Li Mo has a plan in mind.

"Do you want something to eat?" A Mai seemed to have said enough, so he asked Li Mo flatteringly, but the small calculations in his heart were crackling. There are many men in the tribe, but there are no women. The woman in front of him Once it comes, it can be distributed to several men.

"No, no, I'm not hungry yet. I have something to ask Yingbai. Can you call him in for me?"

Seeing that Li Mo's complexion was not good, he felt that Yingbai must have deceived her, otherwise why would this woman stay in the room of the disaster star? A Mai shook his shoulders and walked out. After a while, Yingbai walked away with a pale face. came in.

Ying Bai was a little scared, standing only three meters away from Li Mo's bed, Li Mo could tell at a glance that it must be a woman from Ah Mai who had said something to him.

"Yingbai, come here." Li Mo patted the place beside her and said with a smile.

Ying Bai was at a loss, seeing Li Mo coughing for a while, walked to Li Mo's side.

Li Mo carefully looked outside, then pulled Ying Bai to sit on the bed.

"Yingbai, don't listen to that woman's nonsense, you are not a catastrophe, I believe in you, you see, you saved me, we went to the river and found fish, we caught deer, I am going to cook fish soup for you drink."

Li Mo whispered in Yingbai's ear.

Yingbai blushed, and his face turned pale and red for a while.

"Li Mo, don't talk nonsense, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you before because" because I don't want you to know that I am a disaster star, and I don't want you to leave my room.

"Hush" Li Mo covered Yingbai's mouth, "Now, I will ask you to answer, I will not lie, and you are not allowed to lie either. Trust me, Yingbai."

As she spoke, she took Yingbai's hand, and leaned her head gently on Yingbai's shoulder.

The two said this in a low voice.

When Yingbai was born, it was a snowy day. His mother, his mother, had a difficult delivery in a dark night. After hearing this, his father hoped that he would not have a child and leave Eminem behind. It's a pity that before the future could start, the child snatched the mother's breath, and that night, the eagle-white Eminem passed away.

Later, Yingbai's father was so sad that he couldn't even hear Yingbai's cry, and often couldn't take care of Yingbai.Later, on a rainy night, Yingbai's father also went.

Later, a woman came, that was Yingbai's grandmother, she came from another tribe, she had only one daughter in her life, and Yingbai was her only grandson.

On that day, in a hot summer, Yingbai's grandmother came to the tribe for the first time.

She asked, and saw a little boy sitting not far away.

At that time, Yingbai was sitting on a tattered and smelly animal skin in a daze, his face was stained with gray mud, his hair was messy, and some of the hair even covered Yingbai's ears. Yingbai's left foot still had blood stains from being bullied and injured the day before yesterday.In his hand was the minced meat given to him by the people from the tribe the day before yesterday. In fact, the meat had rotted long ago. The people in the tribe were jealous of Yingbai, and they only gave him a meal in a few days. Unexpectedly, Yingbai was not dead, but was thin and survived;
On that day, Yingbai’s grandmother gave Yingbai a piece of jerky, it was Yingbai’s first time eating fresh food, Yingbai will always remember that day, an old woman took out the piece of jerky with tears in her eyes, Even though it was hard to swallow, it was the best thing Yingbai had ever eaten.

Even after many years, Li Mo will prepare some dried meat for Yingbai in summer, Yingbai still thinks that it is the most delicious thing he has ever eaten in his life.

At that time, Yingbai was still young, but he also knew who was good to him. He began to smile hard every day, and worked hard to learn how to hunt. No one in the tribe was willing to teach him, so he went to watch secretly. Every time he hunted food, he was covered in mud I ran back and gave it to my grandma, who took it with a smile.

On a rainy night, it was still a rainy night. That day Ah Mai came to find her grandma, hoping that they would contribute the food reserves in the tribe in winter. Later, there seemed to be a quarrel, and the two broke up. At night, grandma wanted to fetch some water for Yingbai who had a fever. But she accidentally fell into the river. Yingbai's grandma couldn't get up or speak for a long time because her hands and feet were weak.

The next day, Yingbai who woke up heard the noise, got up from the house, and saw his only grandmother, with her eyes wide open, holding a beast skull in her hand, lying on her side in the river with disheveled hair. Look, the whole body is wet, completely out of breath.That was probably a scene that Yingbai would never forget in his lifetime.

From then on, Yingbai was no longer seen in the tribe. In the tribe, sometimes they would ask a few questions, only knowing that Yingbai could hunt by himself outside, and nothing else.

Yingbai spoke softly, as if it wasn't his own story, but Li Mo's heart ached unceasingly when he heard it. What kind of pain is this, so that the man in front of him can live so strongly.

"Yingbai." Li Mo grasped Yingbai's rough hand, "No, never again, I want to go back with you, I don't want to be here."

"Li Mo." Ying Bai looked at Li Mo's pale face, but couldn't bear it in his heart, he was not a priest, what would he do if Li Mo was sick, he couldn't be so selfish.

"Li Mo, take a rest first, I'll deal with the prey, and I'll bring you some food tonight." Ying Bai said softly, Li Mo didn't see Ying Bai's flickering eyes.

Yingbai comforted Li Mo, and asked someone he knew to take care of Li Mo. People in the tribe still looked at him with wary eyes, but Yingbai didn't care.

Yingbai lied to Li Mo, he wanted to keep Li Mo in the tribe, whenever he recalled the decision he had made, in the future, no matter how many years later, Yingbai would hate him to death. This decision made him hate his selfishness and cowardice.
