Chapter 79: Encountering a Robbery on the Road

Shen Xiaoxiao's impression of Qingmu became worse. She felt that he was not as simple as he seemed, but she had no evidence. It was just her guess, so she couldn't say much.

She didn't go anywhere else, but waited quietly by the side until they finished the exchange and returned to the tribe together.

Soon, the pots and pans they brought were exchanged for what they needed. After putting the things in the backpack, they left. When leaving, Shen Xiaoxiao seemed to have sensed something and turned around. She happened to bump into Qingmu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She turned back quickly, a little frightened.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan said and wanted to turn around, but Shen Xiaoxiao stopped him, "Let's go first, I'll tell you later." Along the way, she kept urging everyone to hurry up, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they left the scope of the Nanhua tribe.

"Goddess, what happened?" The witch doctor asked with concern. Something must have happened, otherwise the goddess would not be so anxious.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked back and saw nothing unusual before she relaxed. "I think something is wrong with the Nanhua tribe, but I can't tell why. Let's leave quickly."

The witch doctor's expression suddenly became serious, but the others didn't care and said, "Goddess, you must be overthinking it. What can be wrong with them? If they want to do something to us, they would have done it directly in the tribe. How could they let us leave?"

"Yes, I think they are good people. They don't take advantage of us when exchanging things with us. Instead, they let us take advantage of them. Goddess, you must be overthinking it."

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. She had guessed that they would react like this, but she was really uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen.

"Okay, don't say anything." The witch doctor scolded, and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao again, "Since the goddess thinks something is wrong, let's leave quickly." They also exchanged what they needed, so it would be better to go back early.

The others didn't say anything else and left behind the witch doctor, but their pace was visibly faster.

"This doesn't seem to be the road we came from?" Shen Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

"Yes, that road is longer back."

"Why don't we take the road we came from?"

"We have to take a detour if we take that road again, and it will be dark when we get back." The witch doctor didn't understand why she had such an idea, but if she went back to the previous road now, they would have to walk half the distance.

Shen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything else. Everyone had walked for so long, and they definitely didn't want to go back again.

"What are you picking this for?" Xiao Yan asked curiously when he saw Shen Xiaoxiao picking the small fruits she picked in the Nanhua tribe.

"This can be eaten. Have you seen it somewhere?" Shen Xiaoxiao quickly broke off the soybeans with leaves and beans. Now there was not enough time to peel them one by one, so she took them back first, and they could also let the people in the tribe recognize them. They went out to find food every day, and they might have seen them somewhere.

"This thing looks familiar." Xiao Yan couldn't remember where he had seen it for a moment, but he was sure that he had seen it. "Don't worry if you can't remember it. Go back first. Maybe you will remember it later." Shen Xiaoxiao said calmly. After all, they go out every day to find edible food, and naturally ignore the inedible ones. In their eyes, this is inedible, so naturally they don't care.

The two took the things and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the team.

"Daya, you are bleeding." Everyone rested under the tree, and several females accompanied them to solve their physiological needs. Shen Xiaoxiao saw the blood flowing down Daya's thigh. For a moment, she didn't think much and said anxiously, "Are you injured?"

Daya looked down and then said indifferently, "It's okay, this is normal, we are used to it, it won't flow in a few days, I'm not injured."

Shen Xiaoxiao reacted instantly. She was menstruating, but didn't they deal with it?

"Just let it be like this?" Shen Xiaoxiao said in disbelief.

"Yes, everyone is like this. Otherwise, what can we do? We have no way to stop it from bleeding." Daya looked at her in surprise, as if to say, how could the goddess say such a thing.

Shen Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned. Yes, the conditions are not good now. She suddenly thought that if she had her period, the blood would flow down her thighs like this. This picture was too beautiful and she couldn't imagine it.

Fortunately, there were two packs of sanitary napkins in her bag. If she used them sparingly, it would be enough for one time, but what about after that? Could it be that she really had to ignore it?

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help shuddering just thinking about it. No, this situation must not happen.

Fortunately, she had seen how the menstrual belt used by the ancients was made before. At that time, she was curious and tried it herself. At most, a piece of clothing was wasted, which was better than bleeding all over the floor.

Moreover, she now had frankincense at any time and wore her own clothes less often, so it was okay even if she used a piece of clothing as a menstrual belt.

Seeing Daya wiped the blood on her legs with leaves carelessly, but soon stained them again, she silently turned her eyes away.

They rested for a while and continued to walk, but they didn't walk long before a group of people stopped them in front, as if they had been waiting there for a long time.

The witch doctor led them forward with an expressionless face. The others silently held their weapons tightly, looking ready to attack at any time, while Xiao Yan held Shen Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and protected her by his side.

When the two sides were still five steps away, they were stopped. The witch doctor looked at them indifferently, "What's the matter?"

"Winter is coming, and our brothers have nothing to survive the winter. Leave the animal skins on you." A male with a long scar on his face said fiercely, with a fierce look, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

The witch doctor was also angry. Has their White Tiger tribe reached this point? Can anyone bully them? They were harassed by wandering savages when they went to harvest wheat before, and now they were blocked and robbed when they just came out to exchange things with others?

If she didn't lose her temper, did she really think they were easy to bully?

"Impossible." If they really succeeded, wouldn't their White Tiger tribe be bullied by others in the future?

The witch doctor looked at their number and silently calculated their winning rate in her mind, but she found that it was impossible for them to leave safely. The number of the opponent was more than twice theirs. Even if everyone could fight two, two fists could not beat four hands, and they would definitely get hurt. It is possible that the things they exchanged would be robbed.

But she couldn't let them take the things away. This was the hard work of the tribe. If they were robbed, they would have no face to go back.

If she had known that she would encounter such a thing, she would definitely bring a few more people out.

Scarface snorted coldly, "Impossible? Then you will have to leave your lives behind." Then he made a gesture and the people behind him swarmed up and surrounded them, "Protect the goddess." The witch doctor hurriedly said that they could get into trouble, but not the goddess. The goddess was the hope of their entire tribe, and only when the goddess was well, the tribe would be well.
