Traveling through ancient times to survive

After the meeting, Zhao Qing went out of the valley to look for the person. He went to three locations one by one. He was unsuccessful the first two times, but found the person the third time.

This group of people looked even more miserable, and their attire was no less than that of the savages that Zhao Qing wore when he went out of the valley to look for salt.

Their hair was messy, their clothes were torn and dirty, and they lived in a thatched hut made of branches and mud. Fortunately, it didn't rain these days, otherwise it would have been heavy rain outside and light rain inside.

Zhao Qing deliberately made a noise, and the leader who was eating reacted quickly. He dropped his bowl and stood up. He picked up the weapon beside him, a worn-out broadsword, and shouted with vigilance, "Alert!"

The younger brothers around him also responded instantly, picking up a sharpened stick to defend themselves. Zhao Qing walked out slowly, exposed to more than a dozen pairs of vigilant eyes.

"Who is coming?"

The dozen people became more and more nervous. Anyone who could walk freely alone in this deep forest is definitely not an ordinary person.

"It's me, I'm here to take you to the village."

It turned out to be Hero Wang. They didn’t expect that Hero Wang was so young. He looked even younger than them.

When the leader recognized Zhao Qing, his body immediately relaxed. The originally calm man excitedly rushed towards Zhao Qing, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen a relative.

"Brother Wang, you finally came to pick us up! Life here is really not a good place for human beings. There are wild beasts harassing us anytime and anywhere. We haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few days!"

The younger brothers also looked at Zhao Qing with tears in their eyes and nodded vigorously!

Zhao Qing was puzzled: "Don't you light a bonfire at night?"

The leader calmed down a bit, wiped his face and replied: "Of course, the wild beasts were indeed scared at first, and it was relatively quiet at night, but those animals are very smart, and they got used to it after a few days. They often come here to hang out at night, and everyone is so scared that they dare not sleep."

Chen Wu was terrified: "Master Wang, you are finally here. If you were a few days later, you would have to collect our bodies!"

"what happened?"

Chen Wu swallowed his saliva and said with lingering fear: "We are being targeted by a leopard. We used to just observe from a distance, but recently it has been getting closer and closer. Yesterday it appeared three meters away. It can't bear it anymore."

Zhao Qing understood. No wonder they reacted so strongly this time. It was not like this the last time she was seen. The leader was calm and polite, and her younger brothers were not eager to follow her. It seemed that they had suffered a lot.

"I understand. You guys fill your stomachs first and pack your things. I'm going to go out for a while."

They were afraid that Zhao Qing would run away, so they asked anxiously, “Brother Wang, where are you going?”

Zhao Qing kindly comforted the frightened people: "Don't worry, I won't run away. I will solve your crisis."

The leader was worried about something unexpected happening, so he advised, "Are you going to hunt that leopard? We are leaving anyway, so forget it."

Zhao Qing shook his head: "It has already set its sights on you. It will be useless for you to leave now."

After saying that, Zhao Qing turned around and left, disappearing into the dense forest. The leader and his brothers finished their meal, and while packing up, they looked into the woods worriedly from time to time.

"Brother, can Master Wang kill that leopard? Judging from the beast's fleeting silhouette, it is definitely a leopard in its prime and agile."

The leader said with a straight face: "Trust Big Brother Wang, and don't call me Big Brother. We have decided to follow Brother Wang. From now on, we will only have one Big Brother, and that is Brother Wang."

The younger brothers hesitated: "But you have led the brothers for so long, we all obey you. We just agreed to join their village, we don't have to recognize you as the eldest brother."

The leader firmly refused: "Absolutely not!"

Only Chen Wu nodded in agreement with the leader, while the other brothers glared at him.

"Chen Wu, you are such an ungrateful person. If it weren't for my brother, you would have been eaten by the Qinglong Gang!"

"You are such a coward. Are you so servile because you were beaten last time?"

"That's right, you have no shame at all. We are ashamed to be associated with you!"

Chen Wu's face turned red after being scolded. He was so angry that his voice was trembling.

"You...you are spitting blood!"

The leader shouted to stop them: "Enough! Use your brains and think carefully. The whole village is living well, why do they have to accept us?"

Chen Wu seized the opportunity and sneered: "Maybe they are just bored and want to be kind to us because we are so shameless."

The younger brothers who had just scolded Chen Wu froze in anger. Yes, if they were not needed for service, who would be willing to support a group of freeloaders? Or they were disobedient. If it were me, I would be considered good-tempered if I didn't twist off the heads of these ungrateful people.

Someone apologized with a face full of shame: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen, I was stupid and misunderstood you. I hope you can forgive me."

Some people were even more decisive and slapped themselves hard. The bright red palm print on their faces showed that they did not hold back.

"Chen Wu, I'm sorry. I admit my fault. You can vent your anger however you want."

Chen Wu felt relieved and his complexion looked much better.

"We are all brothers. Think carefully next time and don't misunderstand your own people."

Seeing the atmosphere had eased, the leader continued, "That's right. If you can correct your mistakes, you are a good brother. I'm not saying I won't recognize you. We are still brothers even if we enter someone else's village. It's just that we have a new leader. From now on, Big Brother Wang will be our new big brother. We must obey him from the bottom of our hearts, because we are begging him to take us in, so we have to be tactful. If someone pretends to obey but actually disobeys and is kicked out, don't blame us brothers for not pleading for mercy."

The younger brothers straightened their faces. They put themselves in their shoes. It turned out that their initial thoughts were just the ruthless people they had just scolded to Big Brother Wang. No one could accept such people. The leader saw that they had listened to his words and smiled with satisfaction.

Although they didn't know what Brother Wang needed them to do, it was better than being on edge all the time. And judging from Brother Wang's work style, he wasn't a cruel or mean person.

Everyone packed up their things and waited anxiously, and under such circumstances, Zhao Qing came back carrying a black leopard.

Zhao Qing left the corpse behind him. The 300-pound leopard carcass splashed dust all over the ground. Everyone stared with eyes wide open in admiration. Master Wang is indeed Master Wang. In less than an hour, he single-handedly solved the beast that forced them to be unable to sleep.

Zhao Qing had a solemn expression. Even though he had defeated such a big beast, there was no joy on his face. A dozen people tactfully swallowed the praise that was about to come out of their mouths.

The leader asked cautiously, "Did something bad happen?"

"It's okay, let's go."

Zhao Qing did not express the doubts in her mind. This leopard was too big. It was much bigger than the leopards in the science videos she had seen in her previous life. Isn't this a normal ancient world?

Never mind, let's go back first. Zhao Qing put aside his doubts and led the seventeen people on the way home.
