Chapter 182 Save the woman, Meizi’s thoughts(1/2)
When the savages saw the Xia tribesmen on the river making moves, they were a little panicked.
The savages knew that the Xia tribe's bows and arrows were powerful and would bleed when struck, and the bleeding would be very painful. They were also afraid, so they quickly hid.
Xia Lei shouted at the kneeling women, telling them to break free from the vines and run away this way.
But the women's hands and feet were tied too tightly with canes, and they couldn't understand. They looked at the people on the raft in silence, and no one moved.
Some savages saw Xia Lei talking to the women and came to drag the women away.
However, before they could reach the kneeling woman, a savage was shot by the Xia tribe's bow and arrow.
But there were too many savages, and they came swarming to drag the women away.
One of the kneeling women suddenly stood up, jumped off the river bank, and reached the dry river bed below the river bank. She ran towards the bamboo raft in the river in embarrassment, but within a few steps, the uneven river bed tripped her down.
The savage didn't expect someone to escape, and a leader-looking man shouted.
So three savages also jumped down the river bank quickly. They wanted to catch the escaped woman.
Xia Lei shouted on the bamboo raft.
"Shoot those three savages."
Seventeen arrows galloped away, but because they were so close, they were less than forty meters away.
The three savages were all shot, and this time they were seriously injured.
It was also because the hunting group practiced archery for too short a time, and the arrows were not very harmful. But they were too close. Although none of the savages who were shot fell, they successfully stopped them and shot into their bodies.
The arrow was still deep, and when they pulled it out, it revealed flesh and blood.
The woman stood up again, limping forward.
More than a dozen savages jumped from the river bank, risking being shot by bows and arrows as they strode over.
"Attention, it's coming again, shoot them."
This time more people came down, and five people were shot. They tore off the arrows from their bodies and continued to chase the escaped woman.
There are five uninjured savages running faster, and the woman is likely to be caught.
Xia Lei and others shot another round of bows and arrows. This time they got closer and were shot like hedgehogs. The most important thing was that this time they hit their vital points.
The savages saw that the opponent's bows and arrows were very powerful, but they were already red-eyed and seemed to take life and death lightly. Several savages who were slightly injured rushed out again.
Xia Lei saw that the situation was urgent and forgot the king's words.
He propped the bamboo pole in the river, and the bamboo raft quickly moved towards the shore.
Deputy team leader Cao Kezi shouted:
"Team leader, I forgot what the king said."
"What are you afraid of with just a few savages? Come on in."
Cao Kezi picked up the shield, jumped onto the shore with the two team members with the iron spear, and aimed at the two fastest savages to kill them.
The two savages came to arrest people, and they were empty-handed. When they saw someone coming to kill them, they rushed over screaming. They were not afraid of death. Before they even got close, they were pierced by iron spears.
Suddenly he let out a scream.
The savages on the river bank threw stones at Cao Kezi, but Cao Kezi blocked them with his shield.
Then he helped the woman onto the bamboo raft and quickly left the river bank.
When the savages saw them returning to the bamboo raft, they were yelling on the river bank, perhaps cursing.
On the simple dock on the Xia tribe's side, Wang Wei and Hu Meizi clearly saw the tense scene just now.
"Xia Lei is not bad, but the reaction is not very fast."
"Your Majesty, he didn't listen to you. Didn't he want them to go ashore?"
Wang Wei only said: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
Hu Meizi looked at him incomprehensively, and when Wang Wei didn't explain, she went to pull him away.
Wang Wei reacted and said:
"Fight on camera, there is no need to ask for a fight in advance or wait for orders before fighting."
Seeing that Hu Meizi still didn't understand, he said again:
"I told them not to dock before, but it was obviously not suitable for the situation just now. Xia Lei felt that the other party was too weak and there would be no problem docking, so he did so, and he succeeded."
Hu Meizi nodded thoughtfully.
Wang Wei added: "It's just that the hunting team needs to practice bows and arrows more, and the arrows they shoot cannot hit where they want."
Hu Meizi said: "Your Majesty, it's not that you can't practice well, but it's just that you shoot a few times too many times and your fingers hurt. If you're not careful, the bow string will cut your fingers."
"Ah, I forgot something."
"What did your Majesty forget?"
"I forgot to wear the spanner."
“What’s the use of a finger wrench?”
"It's just to protect the thumb." Wang Wei raised his thumb and said, "To prevent the fingers from being scratched by the rapid withdrawal of the bowstring when releasing the arrow."
He saw that Hu Meizi's right thumb was wrapped in animal skin.
He took her right hand and said, "Are you injured?"
Hu Meizi said: "No, I just feel that when I pull the bow string, I am afraid of hurting my hand, so it is specially used to protect it."
Wang Wei took off the animal skin from her thumb. Although the thumb was not injured, it was obviously red and swollen.
"What's going on?"
"Maybe it was accidentally injured while shooting."
Wang Wei nodded.
"Don't practice yet, wait until I make the thumb ring."
"OK."
Hu Meizi was moved in her heart.
At this time, Xia Lei, Xia Dian, Xia Yi and others returned to the shore and brought the woman to Wang Wei.
The woman just came out of the cold river, her whole body shivering with cold.
Wang Wei said to Xia Yi: "Bring her back to the tribe first, let her put on dry leather clothes, and then eat food, and ask her about the tribe's situation."
After Xia Yi took the woman away, Wang Wei said to everyone in the hunting group:
"Now we and the savages are fighting to the death. In the future, you should pay more attention to the other side when fishing."
After everyone answered in unison, Wang Wei asked them to go about their business.
Wang Wei is actually still worried about being attacked at night.
He looked across the river and saw the savages carrying the bodies on the riverbed.
I thought that my hatred with the savages was getting deeper and deeper, and I wondered if there would ever be a day of reconciliation.
The development of the Xia tribe is really not smooth. They are surrounded by dangers in the wilderness and life is too difficult.
At this time, someone said that Xia Feng was back.
When everyone looked around, they saw Xia Feng's second hunting group and thirty Xia tribesmen, driving eight cows with animal skins on their backs. There were also dozens of goats and deer, and pheasants that looked like black-bone chickens.
The cage is installed.
Xia Feng saw Wang Wei and Hu Meizi at the river and hurried over. He said hello to everyone.
Wang Wei said: "That Shanyi tribe didn't agree to my proposal?"
Xia Feng said: "He said he would go back to discuss it."
"That's okay, there is still some hope."
"Not to mention anything else, Your Majesty, the Xia tribe's salt is the biggest temptation for them. I guess they will come in exchange for our salt."
Wang Wei nodded.
"Go and see Xia Dazui. He is injured. Xia Lei, you should also tell Xia Feng about the recent events of the Xia tribe."
Xia Feng nodded and walked towards the Xia tribe.
After everyone left, only Hu Meizi was left, and her team members were on the other side.
Wang Wei said to Hu Meizi: "Do you still want to hear about Xia Dazui?"
Hu Meizi blushed slightly and nodded.
"I didn't tell you about Xia Dazui to make you reconcile with him, I just wanted to tell you about Xia Dazui's suffering."
So Wang Wei told everything about Xia Dazui's life-blood injury, including Ji Hao's massage of his life-blood later.
Hu Meizi said with some regret: "It turns out it was me. I'm really sorry for Big Mouth Brother. Although I know his situation, I still can't be with him because he has Ji Hao now."
