After nearly a month of fighting, over mountains and ridges, Tang Zheng followed the route on the map and led his clansmen to destroy one enemy after another.

They are powerful and invincible wherever they go, but it is not a smooth journey.

Living in the wind, sleeping in the open, and deprived of food supplies, they dug underground roots, chewed snow water, and fought downhill beasts, all of which together with the drenched blood made them transform, becoming more solid and sharper.

Counting the tribe that was wiped out at the beginning, the bottom five on the list have been crossed out, including the snake tribe.

Now they are standing on the fifth-ranked tribal territory.

The corpses scattered all over the place were not too unfamiliar. Dozens of living victims were pressed to the ground and could not move. Tang Zheng had begun to see this kind of hatred in his eyes, and even the strong smell of blood permeating the surroundings no longer felt sick to his stomach.

"Bring it up." Tang Zheng said to the clansman behind him.

Several unfamiliar faces were thrown into the encirclement, one of them smiled flatteringly, but the fear in his eyes could not be hidden.

These people are members of the Snake Tribe, yes, this is the only tribe that has not been wiped out.Thanks to their new patriarch's understanding of current affairs, even if he didn't understand why Tang Zheng came here, he surrendered the first time he saw the terrifying strength of the Mu tribe.

Heh, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house, it's really like the former patriarch who died long ago.

Without paying attention to them, Tang Zheng squatted down in front of the woman who had just been exterminated and seemed to be the patriarch. She was now tall enough to be at eye level with her, and then Tang Zheng said with a smile: "Introduce myself, Wood Tribe The patriarch, Hazel, what's your name?" This sentence has been repeated five times, and this is probably the last time this year.

"Bah!" The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, just wanting to pounce on it and bite.

Fortunately, they were not too close, and turned slightly to avoid the spray of blood sprayed in front of them. Tang Zheng didn't show too much displeasure, and opened his mouth to continue the one-sided conversation. A scream came from behind the prisoner in front of him, "It's you! No, it's impossible!"

Tang Zheng glanced back at the terrified woman and raised her eyebrows.Since he recognized himself, he should be someone who attended the Stone Tribe gathering. Tang Zheng asked with great interest, "It's a surprise? Is it possible that I didn't die?"

The man withdrew his head and stopped talking. The patriarch in front of him showed a trace of doubt on his face. Tang Zheng explained patiently in a slow voice: "It seems that your clansmen didn't tell you, those people who didn't come back after the rainy season gathering You are going to kill me, but unfortunately I am still alive, but three clansmen died in your hands. So, do you now know what I am here for?"

The woman's complexion changed after Tang Zheng's words.Seeking revenge, there is nothing to say over there, and her expression became stubborn and fierce again.

Tang Zheng admired the other party's stubbornness a little, and said, "I'll give you a chance to do things for me, and I'll spare you."

"Don't think about it!" The woman opened her mouth and shouted loudly without thinking.

Tang Zheng seemed to have expected this answer, not surprised at all, raised his head slightly and shouted to all the prisoners behind him: "Those who don't want to die can stand up!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and many people stared at her without moving, but after all, not everyone was so spineless.After a while, three people stood up hesitantly, lowering their heads, not daring to look at the shocked gazes of the surrounding clansmen.

Tang Zheng stood up slowly, clapped her hands and said, "Not bad, there are actually three." It was the least number of people she had encountered in this period of time. Obviously, the ethnic group had the largest base, and the cohesion was very objective.

The woman in front of her turned her head when she heard the sound, Yue Mo couldn't believe that someone would stand up, and the heartache flashed in her eyes made the standing people even more afraid to look directly.

Bowing slightly, Tang Zheng said to the woman again: "Why don't you want to? My clan is no worse than yours. There is meat to eat every day. You just need to do things for me."

The woman turned her head slowly, staring at Tang Zheng with moist eyes, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "My tribe is called Sturgeon, we only belong to Sturgeon!"

"Okay!" Tang Zheng shouted, praised sincerely, turned his head and looked at the people of the Snake Tribe with sharp eyes and asked: "I am a wood, she is a sturgeon, why are you the only ones who can abandon your totem at will?!"

Every word of this question pierced into the hearts of the people of the Snake Tribe.No one can answer it, maybe the totem is not that important in the face of life and death.

Tang Zheng waved her hand back vigorously, and asked loudly, "Tell me, are totems important?!"

"Everything is for the tribe!" The voices of the soldiers are sonorous and powerful, which is their cry from the bottom of their hearts, their love for the tribe.

The blood in his body was getting hotter and hotter, and the quietly rising hostility made Tang Zheng dislike the people of the Snake Tribe even more, and taunted: "Take you back, one day if my tribe is bullied by a more powerful existence, you will still be like me!" Is it like this now?"

"No, it won't!" The people of the Snake Tribe started to panic, shaking their heads frantically in denial, for fear that Tang Zheng would say what they were most afraid of.

Just as they thought, Tang Zheng calmed down and said flatly, "Kill it."

"No, no! Ah!"

The short screams disappeared quickly, and the soldiers had absolutely no reason to be lenient, and were even very happy.

That's the way it should be, all enemies with blood feuds should be killed, and keeping them is an eyesore.

"Give her a spear." Tang Zheng raised her chin towards the woman who was still on the ground.

The clansmen in front of him felt puzzled, but they didn't ask any further questions. They released their restraint and handed the spear to her. They just made a defensive posture and protected Tang Zheng behind them.

The woman stared blankly at the spear in front of her, and instantly understood Tang Zheng's meaning, took it slowly, and turned to look at the three people who were still standing there.

People who betray the tribe need not exist, no matter what the circumstances.

The hand holding the spear tightened, and the woman stepped forward, walking towards the three people who were terrified by the sudden restraint of their hands.

"Patriarch..." Shaking his head, one of them whispered to the woman with bloodshot eyes.

"I'm not your patriarch!" The woman growled and pierced the spear into the man's chest, with a little force from her hands, the spear was pulled out from the flesh and then pierced into the next body.

The three corpses fell limply on the ground. Looking at the woman with a straight back, Tang Zheng asked again, "I can give you another chance."

"No." The woman turned around with the blood-stained spear in her hand, with tears streaming down her face, she shouted loudly, "Come on!"

Persuasion is useless, and there is no possibility of reconciliation in bloody feuds.Tang Zheng didn't speak any more. The soldiers clearly raised their weapons and exclaimed that the last goal of the trip had been achieved.

"Clean up, burn this place down before you leave, bring your injured brothers and sisters, and let's go home!" Tang Zheng said.She couldn't help feeling a little regretful in her heart, she still appreciates such a bloody tribe, a big fire should be the last gift, lest she die and fall into the mouth of wild beasts.

"Oh!" The soldiers burst into excited shouts.

I can finally go home!

--------------

It can be said that the journey was like an arrow, and the one-week trip was shortened to five days. He insisted on arriving in front of the city gate at night, and was almost shot twice by the clansmen on the plank road as enemies.

In the middle of the night, a raging bonfire was lit again in the clan.As if they had endless strength, the quick-spoken people talked about the experience of a group without taking a break, and people applauded from time to time.

Tang Zheng pushed the old grandmother to listen to the book, turned her head to look at Jing who was obviously still sleepy, and finally became, "Hug?"

Regardless of Jing's reaction or not, Tang Zheng opened his arms and hugged him up talking to himself.

"Let go of me, I'm so dirty." Jing wrinkled her nose and hummed softly. The light push in her hands was weak, and finally she hugged Tang Zheng's neck.

Taking a deep breath of the herbal scent on Jing's body, it smelled much better than the smell of blood, and the hostility in Tang Zheng's heart dissipated a lot.

In the future, I still don't want to go out to fight with her. It's right for An An to divide her land.

After an unknown amount of time, Jing looked at the brightly lit bathhouse in the distance and said softly, "You have boiled the water, hurry up and take a bath."

Looking back at Yuyou who was waving at her at the entrance of the bathhouse, Tang Zheng remembered that she really hadn't taken a bath after going out for so long. If it wasn't for the winter, she would have already stink.

"Together?" Tang Zheng raised her head and asked with a smile.After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Jing Tong agreed or not, he ran away with his arms in his arms, asking himself and answering: "Okay, let's go together!"

Sometimes this person is actually quite rascal, Jing thought while leaning on Tang Zheng's shoulder.

The bathhouse is not small, and there is a pool made of large bricks in the middle. Basically, the bricks can be as big as they can be burned, and the fit is very high. Only some mud was touched on the outside to stick them together.The floor is covered with pipes made of bamboo. Many women are already taking a bath, and they simply rinse with warm water before stepping into the pool, otherwise it is too dirty.

Anyway, everyone is used to it. Tang Zheng stripped himself clean. When he jumped into the pool, he didn't forget to wrap a piece of cloth to cover it. Same.

Jing, who had already taken a shower today, could only follow in helplessly, rubbing Tang Zheng's out-of-reach back, and brought up a rare topic: "Your house is built for you."

"So fast!" Tang Zheng was a little surprised. This year's snow season is also full of heavy snow. They are often delayed by this annoying snow on the road. It is only a little better than last year. I didn't expect that the sandalwood has been finished.

Her house is not like other people's standard suites, it is completely designed by her, it is located in the gentle area between the stream and the mountain, and in the past, the stream had to be crossed.

Away from the crowds, a small piece of land is enclosed as a yard. It is small but narrow and long enough to build her a house, which just meets her requirements for tranquility.

Excitedly thinking about being able to live in a new home in a while, Tang Zheng thought of something and asked Jing behind him: "Have you lived with He and the others these days?"

"En." Jing replied.

"Are you used to living? Do you want to go to my place?" Tang asked again.

The movements of Jing's hands paused, and she quickly shook her head and said, "I'm used to it, no need." Knowing that she wanted to move out alone for a long time, Jing quickly refused.

Tang Zheng was slightly disappointed, but was quickly overwhelmed by excitement, "It's okay, come and play with me."

"Okay." Jing nodded.

After taking a shower and cleaning herself well, Tang Zheng waved goodbye to Jing and the others, and went back to her new nest with high spirits.

The small living room is still empty, with a bedroom on the left, a study on the right, and a kitchen and a utility room outside.

Tang Zheng closed the door, lit the dry wood in the fireplace, blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed, enjoying the warm and comfortable night with her eyes closed.

The almost inaudible noise in the distance gradually subsided, and no one could be seen under the moonlight. Tang Zheng, who had already fallen asleep peacefully, suddenly opened his eyes.

Can't sleep.

After being tired for more than a month, living a nervous and tense life outside, I can easily fall asleep at night, but now I can't fall asleep lying on the bed.

I always feel that something is missing, and this feeling of sleeping is not right.Tang Zheng hugged the leather pillow under her head into her arms, closed her eyes again and tried to fall asleep, but unfortunately she still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Turning over and sitting up angrily, Tang Zheng threw away the pillow in her hand and decided to get out of bed and blow some air to calm down.
