through the absurd and primitive

Chapter 24 Departure
The arrival of the end of spring indicates that Li Mo and the others are preparing to set off to exchange jars.Who knew that the big guys started arguing in the living room of Li Mo's house after dinner.

"How about just a few of you? What if Apa is in danger?" It was Aman who spoke. Although he felt a little nervous, Aman still told Batu what he was worried about.

"There are only a few people in the valley, and there are women and children, what are you going to do with me!" Batu clicked his tongue, and said indifferently, "Don't worry about me being here?"

"There's nothing wrong with you, do you think you won't be in danger if you're here?" Hmph." Ying Bai glanced at Batu, and pulled Li Mo into his arms.

Batu narrowed his eyes, looked at Yingbai dangerously, and glanced at Li Mo, feeling something different in his heart.

"Da Zhuang, I'm going, I'm going, I'm also a man, why can't I go, Li Mo even made me an iron knife." Ah Qing pushed Da Zhuang's hand away dissatisfied.

But Da Zhuang shook his head firmly, "No, you, stay."

"I do not!"

"You guys need to bring more knives or something. I'll sew some animal skin water bags for you tomorrow?" A Duo hugged Xiaofeng tightly, and Weiwei was still sipping barbecue beside her.

Li Mo only felt buzzing in front of her eyes, and her head was in a mess.

"stop!"

Well, everyone fell silent instantly.

"All of you, sit down on both sides. Listen to me." Li Mo finally spoke, with more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at Li Mo, Li Mo suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Batu told me about the terrain. I estimated that it would take fifteen days, maybe longer, to get to that tribe. Some people must be left to guard the valley. Do you remember! When I said that when the tribe was established, you An oath to the gods. Never allow other tribes to invade our tribe"

Hearing this, Batu's expression was a bit subtle, but Li Mo didn't look at him.

"I must go, because I have some plans, but it is not suitable to say now, Batu brought you here, we need him to lead the way, Yingbai will follow me. Men must be left in the valley guard"

Li Mo looked around and frowned slightly, "I decided to take Yingbai, Batu, and Dahe with me." Seeing that Yan was about to stand up to speak, Li Mo shook his head at him, "Listen to me first."

"As I said just now, the valley is the biggest, because this is the home we guarded. If we didn't bring back the pot, or encountered any danger, we can still return to the valley. You are our backing. !"

Seeing the firm trust in everyone's eyes, Li Mo went on to say: "I have fewer people with me, so I have considerations. On the one hand, when we go to change the jars, I will still bring the animal skins to change."

"Why not use iron?" Ah Qing rubbed the back of his head in doubt.

"Good question, you think, if there are more than 50 people in our tribe, living in a poor way, without food and clothing, and a tribe not far away has only ten people, but they have strong iron and food, then you What will you do?"

These words fell into the ears of everyone present, and they were all shocked.

"We, we won't snatch it!" Lu Hua shouted in panic, they wouldn't do such a thing.

"Yes, Green Flower is right, we can't be that kind of people, we can't be shameful snatchers, but, have you ever thought about it, if it's someone else, do other tribes think the same way. That's why I plan to continue We exchange animal skins for pots, and when our tribe becomes really strong, others will not dare to fight us, and when we come to exchange iron with others, others will not dare to fight us."

Seeing everyone nodding thoughtfully, Li Mo felt relieved, "There are only four of us, and we can quickly disperse even in danger, which is good for concealment or escape. This is also one aspect I think. What do you think?"

"Apa, but if you are in danger"

"Yan, thank you. I know you are worried about me, but protecting the valley and our home is also a very important task. You must protect the valley well during the days when we set off. Can you do it! "Li Mo looked at the remaining men.

"Apa, don't worry, we will!" Yan watched Li Mo speak seriously, and nodded towards Li Mo.

"When Yingbai and I are away, Da Zhuang will manage the tribe on your behalf. Luhua, don't let go of the manual work I told you. The jar will be returned at that time. There are still many things we can do." Li Mochao Everyone exhorted.

"Apa we can do it!"

"Apa, don't worry!"

After hearing everyone's response, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingbai decided to start tomorrow, because the road was rough, they didn't plan to use that bicycle.

Li Mo brought fifteen animal skins, two large bags of sun-dried bamboo shoots and dried radishes, drinking water and pickled dried meat.

Inspired by Li Mo's bamboo plaque, Lu Hua made several pairs of straw sandals out of straw rope and animal skins. Li Mo liked them so much that she asked her to make two pairs for each of the men who went out.Green Flower was praised, and happily made six pairs of beautiful straw sandals, and also made a pair of lace ones for Li Mo, but Li Mo was reluctant to wear them and planned to go back to the valley to wear them again.Put on your boots for now.

Early the next morning, the four of them were about to leave the valley, and the big guys came to see them off. Bai Amu took Li Mo's hand and drew back and forth in Li Mo's palm, her eyes were a little moist.

"Apa, God bless you, you will come back safely!" Bai Amu prayed.

"Yes, Bai Amu, we will come back safely. Don't worry too much." Li Mo smiled, feeling warm in her heart.

"Li Mo, you must be careful on the road, Lu Hua and I will definitely pay attention to the soybeans in the house." A Duo hugged Xiao Feng who could not speak yet, and talked to Li Mo seriously.

"Yes, yes, you have to be careful, if you can't change the jar, don't change it. We can use wooden jars. Be careful." Lu Hua also choked up a little as she spoke. After these days, everyone just Like a family, no one is missing from the family.

Li Mo comforted Luhua and the others, while Aman gave Yingbai and Batu a hug.

"Brothers, you should come back sooner."

"The gods will bless you, be careful." Yan was a little awkward, but Yingbai still smiled and patted him hard.Batu responded with a smile.

"We are all good hunters, don't worry, you have to be careful, the day before yesterday I noticed that there are many more birds around here." Yingbai looked at the sky, feeling a little uneasy.

Several people said their goodbyes and were about to leave when a figure hurried over not far away, it was Weiwei!
"Weiwei!" Li Mo has a good impression of this girl. Although this child is stupid, she is very considerate and has a child-like mind.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Weiwei immediately hid behind A Duo, seeing Li Mo looking at her with her dimples exposed, Weiwei stood up cautiously and handed her hands to Li Mo.

"Ah, ah lucky flower" Ah Duo called out.

Li Mo saw that Weiwei was holding a dandelion-like plant in her hand. A Duo once said that it was a symbol of their tribe's luck in the past.

Li Mo lowered her head and patted Weiwei's head.

"Weiwei is good, help sister A Duo well, you know, you have to take care of yourself to be a good boy."

Weiwei seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand, she shook her head and nodded, then ran back behind A Duo.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go." Ying Bai looked at the sky, took Li Mo's hand, and waved to everyone. Before Li Mo left, he already felt that he missed everyone, and looked at Ying Bai , Ying Bai smiled softly at Li Mo.

"Mo'er, we're leaving."

"En!" Li Mo waved to everyone, until the iron gate got farther and farther away from her, then Li Mo turned her head.I thought, I must bring back more good things for the tribe!
