Crossing to the Wild - Chapter 7

…………

Rong Yue opened his eyes, his body was sore, like he had been hit by lightning.

But he quickly reacted to the fact that Zhu Xing wasn’t  here.

Although there was no Zhu Xing and no Kung Pao chicken, there was a fragrant smell of roast meat ……

Tian Yang!

Rong Yue sat up violently, only to find that he was not buried in the mud, instead he was lying in a huge tree hole.

Tian Yang was lying not far from him and he wasn’t dead.

Rong Yue breathed a sigh of relief and before he could figure out the situation, he heard the voices of a man and a woman, they were arguing.

“Yue Dong, when are we going back?”

“What’s the hurry, my brother is not awake yet!”

“Brother brother, you can leave with your brother!”

Rong Yue let his mind wander for a while and felt that the voice was a bit familiar.

And brother ……

A tall, prickly man burrowed into the tree hole and met Rong Yue’s eyes as soon as he raised his eyes.

“Yue Dong!” Rong Yue was surprised.

Yue Dong also froze for a moment, then revealed a naive smile: “Aiya, sister-in-law!”

Rong Yue was confused by the way he addressed him, then he remembered his identity, he inwardly rolled his eyes silently, but didn’t retort.

“Why are you here ……”

“Don’t mention it, it’s also fate, otherwise Tian Yang and you would have been in danger.”

According to Yue Dong, after following the tribe’s migration, he found that Tian Yang was not there and wanted to turn back to find him.

But Xue Qi stopped him, saying that she had seen with her own eyes that Tian Yang was dead.

Yue Dong didn’t believe it and was ready to return alone to check, but his new wife, Lu Shui, strongly requested to follow, so he could only take her with him.

Back at the tribe, he found a large pool of blood at Tian Yang’s house, but couldn’t find the body, so he had a hunch that Tian Yang was still alive and set out to look south – because he thought Tian Yang probably hated Xue Qi and wouldn’t go in the direction of the tribe’s migration.

He was a “scout”, although he had gradually degraded, he was still better than others, plus he had been friends with Tian Yang since childhood, he was familiar with his scent.

Relying on this, he really found Tian Yang.

Rong Yue listened till the end, his mood was quite complicated.

He called him a white-eyed wolf yesterday, today the white-eyed rolled out and he was actually a loyal dog.

But if they really had good feelings for each other, that day Tian Yang was poisoned and became sick before, why did he not lend a hand?

Rong Yue didn’t try to hide his suspicion, he asked directly, Yue Dong froze, then he showed a bitter expression.

“I went to find medicine for him…… but I’m useless, I searched for the whole rainy season, I couldn’t find anything. I came back empty-handed on the night of your wedding.”

Rong Yue: “So you didn’t tell Tian Yang when you left?”

Yue Dong froze: “I was in too much of a hurry and forgot ……”

He and Tian Yang grew up together, and later became the backbone of the tribe together. They spent more time with each other than they did with even their parents.

Yue Dong had been a silly person since childhood. He was simple and honest and gullible. He agreed to any request. If Tian Yang hadn’t helped him, he wouldn’t have been able to get married.

When Tian Yang got injured that time, Yue Dong was in another team, and when he came back and found out, it was already too late.

Tian Yang was bitten by a magical beast, and the poison was related to magical energy. Not willing to let his brother die here, Yue Dong left his newlywed wife that night and went alone to the distant and dangerous Xingye forest.

Xingye Forest was a mysterious forbidden land with countless exotic plants, and naturally, there were also herbs that could remove the magic poison. But opportunity always coexisted with the danger, many warriors that entered didn’t return.

Fortunately, Yue Dong was silly but he was blessed, no matter the price paid, at least he came back.

As for the antidote, even if he didn’t manage to get it, would Tian Yang still blame him?

Rong Yue guessed that Tian Yang didn’t  where Yue Dong was.

Tian Yang was not able to leave the tribe during his recovery, he hadn’t heard the rumours and speculations. He must have been worried in his heart, but it was useless to say it out, so he just kept it in his heart.

Rong Yue didn’t care about their brotherly love, they had to wait for Tian Yang woke up to tell him.

Rong Yue was more concerned about another thing – the magical poison.

He could barely find knowledge of things outside the tribe in Yue’s memory, he thought this was just an ordinary low magic world, he didn’t expect to find magic here.

But on the flip side, even divination with divine power actually existed, so there was probably a system of mutually exclusive power.

Temporarily putting these thoughts aside, Rong Yue looked up, it was extremely sunny, his body was still sticky with mud, it was very uncomfortable, so he asked Yue Dong if there was a place to take a bath.

This was the edge of a forest, there were many large and small pools of water in the forest.

Rong Yue was about to go clean up when he suddenly remembered: “Where is Ergou?!”

Yue Dong was squatting beside Tian Yang to check his state, he made a silly face and asked, “What dog?”

“!!!” Rong Yue was shocked, they had lost the baby!

“Ow, ama–” Before he panicked, Ergou’s voice came from the front, Rong Yue looked over, he saw the dry and clean pup, she was carrying a pile of wild fruits in her hand. It seemed that she went to pick fruits.

He regained his composure and got out of the tree hole, grabbed the pup by the back of the neck and picked her up: “What did you call me?”

“… Lord Yue.”

He didn’t know where Yue Dong’s wife went, Rong Yue chewed on a fruit offered by Xiao Er, and finally cleaned himself in the forest.

The cloth was still quite sturdy, even after everything that happened, it only had a few tears. He didn’t have to wear wet clothes and make himself uncomfortable, but ……

He was civilised.

Back in front of the tree cave, Tian Yang had already woken up and was talking to Yue Dong.

Both of their faces had an expression that couldn’t be concealed.

Brotherly love.

Rong Yue squeezed his wet hair and thought carelessly, if this was in the Xingyue Era, there would be a set of little girls wailing by the corner, then they’d write fanfics about both of them to exchange at Comic-Con.

As he stepped on a dead branch with one foot, the two looked at him in unison, Rong Yue smiled and nodded.

The wet linen cloth was closely stuck to his body, outlining his beautiful lines, his peach blossom eyes seemed wet, with his extremely beautiful face with his holy white hair, he was like a beauty that just came out of the bath.

Tian Yang saw a scrape on his arm and frowned, while Yue Dong steepled his eyes and looked dreamily infatuated.

“………… Sacrifice Yue ……” he murmured, “White hair suits you……”

Rong Yue: “???” Where is the promised touching brotherly love?

Tian Yang smiled as he stood up and kicked his good brother into a tree five meters away.

Yue Dong: “I really didn’t mean to offend sister-in-law! I was just admiring his beauty!”

The crowd gathered around the fire to roast their food, and Yue Dong was still chattering away to explain his outburst.

He complained aggrievedly, “Tian Yang actually kicked me, my bu*tt hurts like hell ……”

Rong Yue silently mosaicked his words in his mind.

Unlike Rong Yue, who fled in disarray resulting in having nothing, Yue Dong and his wife, Lu Shui, were fully prepared to set out.

Although the food they brought wasn’t much, they had all kinds of utensils commonly used in the wild.

Rong Yue finally got a bowl of paste, which still had little taste but made his stomach comfortable.

After the small talk, Tian Yang explained his plan to Yue Dong.

Yue Dong spilled a mouthful of paste all over his chest and asked in a daze, “A new tribe?”

Rong Yue slowly and methodically took a bite of roast meat, secretly disliking that it wasn’t tasty enough: “This is my idea.”

Yue Dong froze and said sadly, “Yes, Tian Yang was injured and his strength was greatly reduced, and the tribe has not been very good to the injured and disabled warriors. You guys must hate Xue Qi a lot.”

“We and Xue Qi are different from each other, after all, his injury has almost healed, the hate isn’t much.” When Rong Yue finished, he saw that everyone was looking at him blankly, then he realised that he had used an idiom.

…… He needed to work hard to know the style of this world in the future.

“Wait!” Yue Dong asked in shock, “What do you mean Tian Yang’s injury is almost healed!”

“Literally.” Rong Yue pulled out the wooden stick inserted behind his waist and made a clean white ball of holy light. After persistent use, the point of light was now a little bigger and less shabby looking.

Yue Dong and Lu Shui finally showed the reaction that normal people should have – they thought they were dreaming.

“Xiao Shui, slap me.” Yue Dong trembled.

Lu Shui gave him a strong slap, and after a crisp snap, she also trembled and asked, “Does it hurt?”

Yue Dong: “Yes, it hurts!”

Lu Shui: “My hand hurts too!”

Rong Yue looked at them with a smirk: “This light can not only illuminate, it can also heal injuries and fight against enemies. You guys can take it that God thinks Tian Yang’s life should not be over.”

Not waiting for Yue Dong and Lu Shui to speak, he continued: “Back to the building of the tribe, Tian Yang and I have discussed it, we intend to find a relatively empty place first. Then we need to find people, anyone can join.”

Yue Dong hesitantly responded, “Sister-in-law ah …… although you are powerful, you’re only one person.”

His voice gradually weakened: “If you find a group of old and weak people, then won’t you and Tian Yang have to wear yourselves out in order to feed them?”

Rong Yue raised an eyebrow: “You don’t need to care about it, just find me a big pit of old and weak people, I’ll take them.”

Lu Shui suddenly slapped Yue Dong’s thigh: “There really is, a whole big pit of people!”
