Chapter 22 Bad news

The group went to Lan Ya's house. Unlike Jin Mang's house, Lan Ya and the others actually lived in a wooden house?
Looking at the two-story small wooden building fixed on top of the giant tree, Jin Mang was stunned.

Although the wooden house looks very simple, but... the eyes are as clumsy as a golden awn, and you can see the rough shadow of the mortise and tenon structure, and you can tell that it is very strong.

Not only that...

Looking at the giant tree, Jin Mang hesitated and said, "Is this... an iron base tree?"

Lan Ya nodded, "You are young, but you have good eyesight."

Jin Mang stared blankly at this iron base tree, and couldn't help sighing, it's so big.

The trunk of the tree probably couldn't be hugged by more than a dozen people, and the place where the branches spread out looked like a terrace. No wonder the wooden building could be fixed.

Jin Mang was a little envious. Although her own cave was nice and warm in winter and cool in summer, she still preferred to live in a wooden house.

Lan Ya hugged Jin Mang, swished twice and climbed up the tree, followed by Qing Feng and Qing Sui who also came up quickly, Qing Feng was still struggling a bit due to the injury.

After entering the wooden house, Lan Ya took out a few straw mats, and a few people sat around. While lighting a fire to barbecue, he casually asked: "What is the purpose of you rushing here at this time? Could it be because of Mangmang's business?"

He also thought that his brother and sister came here specially to tell him about his niece.

Qingfeng and Qingsui looked at each other, their expressions could not help being a little embarrassed.

Qingsui took out potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes from the pouch, and said softly: "Second brother, take a look at this, it was discovered by Mangmang, and it can fill your stomach after eating it. Although it is not as good as meat, it is better than mushrooms and fruits. many."

"Really?" Lan Ya picked up a potato without saying a word and wanted to eat raw, but Qing Feng raised her hand to stop it.

"Brother, these potatoes can't be chewed raw, they have to be roasted before they can be eaten. The same goes for the yams, but the sweet potatoes can be chewed raw, but the taste is even better when roasted." Qingsui was a little bit dumbfounded.

Jin Mang is looking at the wooden house. This wooden house is interesting and tight. It cannot be seen from the outside, but it can be seen from the inside that the wall is slightly inclined outwards, and there is a gap half a meter wide on each side. In this way, there is no fire inside the house. question.But this is only the first floor, and the situation on the second floor should be different, otherwise it would be freezing in severe winter.

Lan Ya was pleasantly surprised after trying potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes.

"It just so happens that our tribe has less salt this year than in previous years, and I'm worried that we won't be able to store enough food. With these, the problem is not a big deal."

The three brothers and sisters were talking about business over there, but Jin Mang walked around the wooden house, and after they finished talking, he sat next to Qingsui to eat barbecue.

The meat roasted by Lan Ya is not particularly fresh, but in this weather, it is estimated that it has been left for a long time.

Jin Mang was full, and couldn't help asking curiously: "We have saved food, how will we get it then?"

Lan Ya couldn't help laughing, "You'll know when the time comes."

Jin Mang pursed her lips, knowing that it would be boring to play tricks on a child like her.

"Father, mother, can we go back?" She simply asked.

Qingsui touched her head, "We'll stay for a day, and we'll go back tomorrow."

Lan Ya frowned and said, "Stay for two more days, I'll ask my elder brother to give you a ride."

Before they could refuse, he said, "Although I guess that the Xiong tribe will attack you on the way of migration, if you are left alone..."

Qing Feng thought about it, then nodded and said: "Then let's stay one more day." No matter how unhappy he was, he had to take his daughter's safety into consideration.

Jin Mang was a little curious about this uncle, because according to Qingsui, this uncle was the main force in his tribe.It can be imagined that the opponent's strength is not bad.

However, such a person, who was still the eldest son of the grandma and grandpa, was preempted by the second and third uncles and failed to form a family.

From Qingfeng's words and deeds in the past, it can be seen that he still has some fear and dislike for this elder brother, and he doesn't know what entanglements he had in the past.

Unexpectedly, Jin Mang met his aunt and grandma before meeting his uncle.

At noon the next day, they were eating, and the mother and daughter came back.

It's just that the appearance of these two people is really not very good.Of course, it wasn't that the two were injured, but...

"Mum, Ah Yan, what's wrong with you?" Lan Ya asked.

"Mum, eldest sister?" Qing Feng and Qing Sui also looked worried.

"Qingfeng Qingsui, why are you here?" The aunt was puzzled, before she got an answer, she burst into tears and said, "Father is dead!"

"What?" Everyone at the scene was shocked.

"Isn't father broken? Why..." Lan Ya couldn't believe it.

The aunt said with a sad face: "It was indeed like this, but Hei Kun and Hui Wu from the Yuxiong tribe joined forces to attack Ah Mei and A Ben. He was thrown out by Hui Wu and directly broke his neck."

Jin Mang's eyes widened.

It was Lan Ya who asked, "Then Ah Mei and Ah Ben are okay?" If the two younger siblings also...

"It's okay." The auntie took a breath and said, "Hei Kun and Hui Wu didn't expect that Father would die, and Amei and A Ben went crazy because of Father's death, so they attacked those two desperately. People probably got scared, so they withdrew."

In Anze, no matter how many conflicts human beings have, they will never attack the elderly. Firstly, everyone does not want to encounter the same thing when they get old. Secondly, the elderly are a burden to the tribe. Most people are not willing to "lighten" the enemy.

"Then you came back like this?" Lan Ya frowned.

He was afraid that the brothers Hei Kun and Hui Wu would make a second attack.

"Brother is here." The aunt said: "Amei and A Ben sent a letter to the elder brother immediately after the incident, and the elder brother arrived the next day after we arrived. After burying the father, we will help the elder brother over there." If you don't have anything to do, you will be back first."

Only then did Lan Ya feel relieved, thinking of her old father who had lost his life, she couldn't help feeling sad.

"On the way of this migration, I want to make sure that there is no one left in the Youxiong tribe!" Qing Feng said darkly.

He was already annoyed that Huang Dan hijacked his daughter, but now the new hatred added to the old hatred, so he was unwilling to let it go.

The aunt and grandma had both traveled for two days, and with the grief in their hearts, they couldn't care less about being with Qingfeng and his family for a long time, so they were directly arranged by Lan Ya to rest.

It wasn't until night that the mother and daughter woke up, and the whole family got to know each other well.

Especially Jin Mang, she was especially loved by the two female elders.

Granny held Jinmang in her arms and touched her soft hair, and said to Qingsui with a face full of joy: "You are lucky, the first child is a girl, unlike me, who gave birth to six sons, but You three sisters were born."

At the end, she couldn't help but look a little worried.

Jin Mang knew without guessing that it was for the six bachelor sons.
