Chapter 51: Raising Suspicions
"Fly in the sky? Really fly in the sky!" Stella and Semira couldn't believe what Muyi said. Everyone knows that birds can fly in the sky, but no one has ever thought of riding on a bird to fly together! This is really unheard of and unseen!
"If you're lucky, and Cai Feng'er likes you, she might even let you try riding her to fly up into the sky. However, her temper isn't very good!" Mo Yier said with a smile, the women of the tribe had once wanted to ride on Cai Feng'er's back, just like Silken Powder last time, but were not allowed.
"Looks like I'll have to be nice to you from now on, huh?" Stella said with a half-joking tone, while Slade gazed at Mo Ye with a deep and serious expression. The more he knew about Mo Ye, the more attracted he became, discovering his differences and extraordinariness. Slade felt an increasing distance between himself and Mo Ye, fearing that his liking might not be accepted by Mo Ye. As they descended from the mountain ridge along the winding road, after crossing a river, a vast grassland came into view. The green grass was lush and vibrant, full of life and vitality. It had to be said that this grassland was rich and abundant, with wild rabbits darting across quickly as soon as they entered, and herds of wild cattle and sheep grazing in the distance, visible from afar.
"Moyi, you and Simula, Xiaomaoqiu are all waiting here, in the evening we will come back, you can also hunt a few wild rabbits on this side." Saitra said, although she promised Moyi to bring her hunting, but did not intend to let her participate in the action. Although there were herbivores in front, it was still very unsafe for them to gather in large numbers.
"Alright, alright!" Mo Yuer didn't insist. Firstly, because the people of Sita's tribe were still around her, she couldn't disobey Sita's orders and make things difficult for her. Secondly, she also felt that a large group of wild cows and sheep was very dangerous, not comparable to single beasts. With so many grazing animals, even if they trampled, they could trample everyone to death. She had better follow from a distance and see what they would do first, rather than causing trouble by rushing forward.
So, Mo Yuer, Simula and Xiao Rongqiu were left behind, while the rest of the tribe followed Saiter's lead in slowly approaching a flock of wild goats. Their strategy was to create panic, causing the wild goats to become agitated and flee in the opposite direction, which would result in some of them straying from the flock and becoming their targets.
Driving away the flock of wild goats is a very skillful thing, Mo Yier doesn't know how they did it, and can make the flock of wild goats flee in one direction. Anyway, looking from afar, the scene was really thrilling, even on the grassland full of green grass, a piece of sand dust would rise, and the group of wild goats running together could be felt shaking the earth from a very far place.
Mo Yi'er couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration: "Sister Stella is indeed a great leader, and her hunting skills are also top-notch."
"Hehe, yeah! She's always liked to secretly switch identities with me since we were little, and even our parents couldn't tell us apart!" Sila said. In this era, it was rare to have twins, let alone raise them safely. Their parents loved and taught them wholeheartedly, which made them so excellent.
"I really don't get it, why do you like dressing up as a woman so much." Xiaorong suddenly asked Silmara, in his opinion, a man dressing up as a woman was a sign of weakness.
"I don't dislike being a woman, I just didn't want to be the leader, and Sutela likes it, so of course I'll let her have it." This was the first time Sumera had openly admitted this in front of others. He could feel that Sutela really liked their tribe and enjoyed being the leader, and she could do an even better job. So when Sutela suggested they switch back, he refused without hesitation.
He thought that one day he would eventually leave the tribe, and the burden of the tribe was something he couldn't bear. Some people might think he wasn't capable, that he was weak, but everyone has their own aspirations, just like in the 21st century, some people prioritize their careers, others prioritize their families, and some enjoy traveling, exploring the world, etc. Silmara was born in a primitive tribe, where she already had very little freedom; if she were to take over as leader, it would mean that for her entire life, she could only consider the needs of the tribe, without any dreams of her own. If there wasn't Seltara, he would have buried his own dreams deep within his heart, but with Seltara, he felt like the gods had opened another door for him, and he wanted to cherish it well.
"Xīmòlā, you are really a good brother." Mòyìér said sincerely to Xīmòlā.
"Hehe, it's fine now." Silmala revealed a deep expression, which was completely different from his image in the tribe. In order to be more like a woman, he usually had to be more delicate, petty, and even a bit overbearing.
"Since we can't go hunting, let's catch a few rabbits around here!" Mo Yier suggested, otherwise they would be really bored here.
"Alright!" The little fluffy ball immediately rubbed its fists and palms, and together with Sila, the two of them didn't wait for Mo Yier to say anything else. They immediately took off like they were in a competition to chase after the rabbit.
This grassland is very wide and flat, so it's more difficult to chase rabbits than on the mountain slope. It's a test of speed and endurance. Unexpectedly, Sila, who looked weak and gentle, was not slow at all. Within an hour or so, she caught a wild rabbit and returned to Mo Yi'er with excitement, only to find that Xiao Rong had already fallen asleep beside Mo Yi'er. In front of Mo Yi'er were two big fat rabbits and one small live rabbit cub.
This made Silmara's mood sink, he looked at Silmara who was half-closing his eyes to meditate, and never thought that this good-looking man was so formidable.
"Welcome back!" Mo Yier and Simula greeted, their voices a bit dull. Just now, Simula and Xiao Rong Chui rushed out to chase after the wild rabbits, she also went to try to hunt one, but unfortunately, her speed was fast, but she had no idea how to hunt, and finally returned in disappointment. Wanting to use a slingshot to shoot two birds, they found that there were few birds on the grassland, and they would have to go to the forest to shoot birds.
"Hmm, did he hunt all of these? Who is he exactly? How can he be so formidable?" Sumula couldn't help but feel suspicious of the little furball. If there was someone in the entire tribal alliance who could hunt this quickly, why wouldn't the Shiluo tribe know about it? This level of hunting ability was absolutely comparable to that of Chu Yan and Fan Ge, the two best hunters in the tribal alliance.
"Haha, Sila, what are you talking about? He's just Xiao Rongqiu!" Mo Yier was startled in her heart, had Sila discovered something.
"Little Fluffball? That's really his name, but why is he hunting so fiercely, I've never heard of him before?"
