As the tribe's prey was always robbed by the neighboring tribe, Leo, who had been busy hunting, naturally had no idea about the changes in the tribe during this period, not to mention Jiujiu, who brought about changes in the tribe.
When Lei Ou heard Zhang Xiaoyu say that Jiujiu might have told on him in an instant, he took note of it. Now that he heard Zhang Xiaoyu's dissatisfaction with Jiujiu, Lei Ou's heart stirred. He asked, "Do you really think that Jiujiu is the one who told on you?"
Hearing Leo ask about Jiujiu, Zhang Xiaoyu immediately poured out all her dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of others, Jiujiu was a beautiful female who was willing to teach them everything she knew selflessly. However, in Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes, Jiujiu was like a fool who told others everything she knew.
After all, everyone else had chosen to be mediocre, but Zhang Xiaoyu had chosen to stand out and even made a name for herself. More importantly, compared to Jiujiu, Zhang Xiaoyu was like the stars around the moon, dimmed and dull.
It was already good enough that Zhang Xiaoyu, who loved to be in the limelight, did not hate Jiujiu to death. How would she praise her?
Zhang Xiaoyu's jealousy made her describe Jiujiu, who was praised by everyone in the tribe, as a scheming b * tch. Jiujiu appeared perfect in front of others, but did many wicked things behind their backs.
As for Leo, because Zhang Xiaoyu was his partner, he trusted her wholeheartedly. Naturally, he also marked Jiujiu down in his heart.
However, in reality, Jiujiu was extremely popular in the tribe. Those males in the tribe who did not have a partner yet would give Jiujiu the prey they had caught and beautiful fur, hoping to gain Jiujiu's favor.
As for the actions of those males, most of the people in the tribe had a favorable attitude towards them.
Firstly, it was because females were rare. Secondly, although Jiujiu looked delicate and soft, she was not a weak girl who could not carry anything. On the contrary, Jiujiu had wisdom that was beyond the reach of ordinary people. She told them that barbecued meat was not simply roasted with fire. Furthermore, they could add spices to make delicious food. She told them that they could hang the meat up to dry. Although the weight would be reduced, the storage time would be greatly increased. When they wanted to eat it, they just had to soak it in water.
The spices were only to satisfy their appetite, but the dried meat at the end could prevent them from starving in winter.
After all, even though the Spiritual Tiger Tribe was already the largest tribe in the forest, there were still old beastmen who died of starvation every year due to a lack of food. If Jiujiu's dried meat worked, then their tribe would no longer have to suffer from starvation.
Most of the beastmen in the Spiritual Tiger Tribe were grateful towards Jiujiu. However, due to Zhang Xiaoyu's existence, Mose and Leo, who had not interacted with Jiujiu before, developed a prejudice against Jiujiu.
Prejudice was to use one's own thoughts to guess what others were thinking, and then label you with a bad intention, telling everyone that you were not a good person.
Leo had developed a very serious prejudice against Jiujiu because of Zhang Xiaoyu's words. Hence, when he heard the other beastmen in the tribe praise Jiujiu, Leo felt that Jiujiu was too pretentious.
Ever since that conversation, in order to prevent the information from being leaked, Leo had been extra careful every time he went hunting. Other than Zach, he also told his brothers who had fought alongside him for many years.
Ever since he kept the information, he had not been attacked by the neighboring tribe. Because of this, Leo had even asked Zach if Jiujiu was behind this.
Zach was naturally still willing to believe that this was not Jiujiu's doing. However, ever since Leo kept the information, they had not been attacked again. He could not help but suspect that Jiujiu was behind this.
Once the seed of doubt was planted in one's heart, it would be difficult to build trust again.
Green Tong returned three days after Zach and Leo no longer trusted Jiujiu.
Green Tong's appearance was still that of an old beastman. Because she had been wandering back and forth between the ten tribes, and even stayed in the forest for a few days to treat those stray beastmen who were chased out of the tribe because of their weak bodies, Green Tong's body and face were visibly haggard.
However, this haggard look disappeared the moment she saw Jiujiu.
Green Tong looked at Jiujiu who was jumping around like a bunny and hugging her. The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably. She touched Jiujiu's smooth hair and asked with concern, "How have you been? Did anyone bully you?"
After Green Tong appeared in the tribe, someone quickly went to inform Zach. Zach had just arrived when he heard Green Tong ask Jiujiu, "Did anyone bully you?"
Although he was not clear about the relationship between Green Tong and Jiujiu, he could tell that Green Tong liked Jiujiu very much from the way Green Tong took care of Jiujiu. Looking at her attitude, if anyone bullied Jiujiu, she would definitely help Jiujiu take revenge.
Zach heaved a sigh of relief when he sensed Green Tong's intention. Fortunately, no one in their tribe bullied Jiujiu. Otherwise, it would be their tribe's greatest loss if they did not treat Jiujiu well and became enemies with Green Tong.
After all, not only could hunger kill a beastman, but so could diseases.
Food could be obtained by increasing the frequency of hunting. However, they could not do anything about diseases.
This was also the reason why all the tribes were united in their treatment of Green Tong even though they did not have a good relationship.
Jiujiu told Green Tong that no one bullied her while Zach was still in shock.
Green Tong heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Jiujiu say that no one bullied her. She looked at Zach with a much gentler gaze.
Initially, Green Tong only asked the Spiritual Tiger Tribe to help her take care of Jiujiu. Now that she was back, she naturally wanted to bring Jiujiu away.
Green Tong stayed in the tribe for a night. The next morning, she left with Jiujiu.
Looking at the back view of Jiujiu and Qingtong leaving without hesitation, Leo and Zach fell into deep thought for a long time.
After Jiujiu and Green Tong left, the two of them did not return to the cave by the cliff. Instead, they went to a beautiful place, built a house, and stayed there.
Jiujiu rode on Qing Tong to the edge of the cliff to retrieve a set of pots and pans. She then instructed Qing Tong to make a simple stove. She then took out the little leather skirt that she had made for Qing Tong and let Qing Tong try it on herself.
Green Tong was a little green snake that turned into a beastman. In the beginning, other than the inheritance of the Spring of Life, she did not know anything else. She still remembered the first time she turned into a human. She was hunting in the forest naked. In the end, she was seen by the hunting beastmen and was laughed at.
