The man smiled provocatively and kissed her directly, but he couldn't prevent all her attacks. Bai Xiaojing cursed his nose with her forehead, and then used her knee to attack his underbelly. "You, you!" He quickly backed up while covering his nose that was overflowing with blood. "You are the first woman that makes my nose bleed, but I like you." His eyes ignited with flames, conquering all males' instincts. However now, it wasn't the time to do so. "Sooner or later, you will be proud of being my woman." He galloped away on his horse. The woman who had lost her son behind Bai Xiaojing was aiming at him with a bow full of bowstrings. "Qiu's woman, you used action to protect your honor, preserving your life. Do you understand? If you leave with him, I will shoot you to death on the spot." The woman put away her bow, using an undisguised language to express her past killing intent. When she saw the Stoneater Rat on the grassland next to Bai Xiaojing, her eyes turned into surprise. "This is my prey, he is my woodcutter." Bai Xiaojing said proudly, and she walked past the woman. "I know, you can't afford this price." The woman's tone was calm, neither mocking nor flattering. She was only explaining the truth, not a man who would be so silly as to give a whole grassland Stoneater Rat to another person. Then she very naturally picked up the prey for Bai Xiaojing, following behind her. This was the glory of a warrior who was full of rewards. Because so far, she had not been able to raise a child. She was just a woman without a name. This was a juvenile Stoneater Rat weighing more than 50,kilograms, which could be ranked as the meat in the stomach of the whole tribe. In addition, its tail could be used for other purposes. Such prey was not likely to be successfully hunted by men. Therefore, hunters naturally had some privileges. Especially when men failed to hunt, everyone had to live a hungry life. Bai Xiaojing sat next to the bonfire with her legs huddled together. A little later, she would get the most delicious part of the prey. These hunters had the privilege. At her side, the men were repairing hunting tools while enjoying the women in labor, occasionally telling some colorful jokes. This kind of noise was unbearable for her. Because of her mother's relationship with autism, Bai Xiaojing was very repulsive to the crowd. In her previous life, as long as she got close to strangers, she would rebuke them and be punished by kneeling down. This was one of her mother's family rules. It was the first time that she was so close to a large number of men. Her face was pale and her limbs were cold. But when she turned her head and looked aside, she saw that the women who were handling prey there were looking at her with expectations, envy, and jealousy. Perhaps there had never been a woman who obtained this type of glory before. A thought flashed past her mind, and as such, she suppressed all of her discontent and disgust. The men quickly turned to the topic of illness. With the women adding fuel to the fire, now everyone knew the scene that had happened outside the tribe. Therefore, most of the men's eyes on Bai Xiaojing were full of agreement. From this point of analysis, the relationship between the two tribes was not friendly. Especially the disease, the men seemed to hate him very much. But it seemed that the arrogant guy was really good at it. Bai Xiaojing, who was already 30,years old, naturally had the ability to understand most of the hidden meanings in people's words. His eyes searched through the crowd several times, but he still could not find anyone. "Hey! Qiu's b***h, you are really arrogant. Do you enjoy the treatment of hunters well? Do you need me to queue up for you again?" A woman with a big plate came over and threw the plate heavily in front of Bai Xiaojing. Bai Xiaojing remembered that this woman had scolded her the most vicious person in the morning. "No, there's no need," she said. The man's face suddenly changed. ###Chapter10,The Mute's Name is "Mercy" "Tell me, what gave you so much courage to sit with the men and enjoy its success? What gave you the right? It's just a hunting, but it can't prove your value. Is your value worth twenty steel coins, or is it the hope of the tribe in your belly?" The newcomer looked at Bai Xiaojing's flat lower abdomen with a vicious look. The woman questioned with her hands on her hips. She was only 40,years old and had a plump belly. This kind of belly was regarded as the symbol of women in the tribe. Bai Xiaojing looked at her curiously. She knew that some small groups had new and new phenomena of bullying, but when she saw them for the first time, she could not help but feel a little curious and even excited. "Where there are people, there is Jianghu." He thought of such a sentence inexplicably. "What did you say?" the woman asked loudly. "If I don't have anything, am I not human?" Bai Xiaojing asked curiously. "Since there's nothing, then be smart." The woman stretched out her hand, wanting to grab Bai Xiaojing, and drag this proud woman to a position that didn't belong to her. "Do you know? Your man is working hard for you outside, and he is suffering and tired. But you're like a landlord, enjoying here swaggeringly. You're really... not like a woman. You're really not a thing." The woman's words reminded Bai Xiaojing of her mother's classic term. "Bah! What thing?" Therefore, she could not stand it anymore. Bai Xiaojing did not like the feeling of being chased by her mother all the time. "Ah Qing, don't be like this." Another woman stood up and advised. "Qiu's woman, she really hunted back her food." After that, the woman turned to Bai Xiaojing. "Ah, you are really capable. Such a big prey, even a man can't succeed, let alone a woman. You can hunt it back alone. It's amazing. I have never seen a woman who was bought back. You can adapt to it so quickly. However, after all, you spent 20,steel coins to buy it. If it's really useless, you might as well buy two horses!" Bai Xiaojing heard two key points from her words. First, this woman wanted to sow discord between her and the whole tribe. Second, she emphasized that she was bought back, in order to push her out more easily. Sure enough, when Ah Qing heard this, her face turned red and she looked at Bai Xiaojing with murderous eyes. "What do you mean by 'don't do this'? What does it mean that you've really hunted back food? Who among the women here has never hunted back food once or twice? Who has never been invited to this position? But who has ever sat on this chair? Except for this woman who is not ashamed or knowledgeable, who else would sit on this chair?" She looked threateningly at her companion, but the latter shrank back tactfully. "This woman! She must be taught a good lesson." Ah Qing pushed her companion away and gave Bai Xiaojing a slap. Bai Xiaojing leaned slightly to one side to avoid the slap and then grabbed the woman's wrist backhand. "According to what you said, if I come back every day, will you approve of me?" She clutched the woman's hand and turned aside. "Ah, you! Ah, ah, ah—" Ah Qing was angry and anxious. She didn't expect that this thin woman had the strength to make her unable to move at all. "You don't know how to appreciate favors. Ah, ah—" Bai Xiaojing put forth her strength again. Under the great pain, Ah Qing could no longer do anything but shout. "You are such a fierce and overbearing woman. You, you!" The woman who had persuaded Ah Qing before jumped up. "Woman Qiu, don't think that you can do whatever you want without Qiu." Bai Xiaojing waved her hand and pushed Ah Qing out. "You have to remember, my name is Bai Xiaojing. My surname is Bai, and my name is Xiaojing. Although I am a woman, I don't need to remind you at any time. This is not necessary, I have a good memory." She kicked another woman hard. Ah Qing's face turned green because of the pain, but she had no intention of flinching. "You b***h Qiu, remember, this thing is never over." She fiercely looked at the man in the group of men, who was looking for her. But the man seemed to have no thought of standing up for her at all. Men did not intervene in women's disputes. This was a tradition with a long history. The old chief coughed awkwardly. "Where's Qiu?" he asked. "He hasn't returned yet. The hunting zone of the Moon Shadow Beast is very far away. He ran very far away for his woman," another woman replied respectfully. This was a very old woman with wrinkles all over her face. "It's Qiu's woman, my son's woman. I heard that some women can't eat well when their men go out. I'm glad that you're so energetic. Although your father makes you proud and you're a useful person, you must remember that you're just a girl," he said with a smile. "Why just add it?" Bai Xiaojing asked. She was very unhappy with his suggestion. "Why can't I add more?" the old chief asked curiously. "Because you're just an old man." Bai Xiaojing said with hatred. The old chief was stunned for two seconds before he burst into laughter. "You're really an interesting girl, but you should pay attention to what you should do. What you get by luck won't happen every day." He said. Then he turned to face Qing and other women. "The rules and treatment of the tribe have been the tradition for a long time. You have to remember the rights that have been voluntarily given up by you. That's what you did. Well, eat and sleep. Let's go for dinner." He took the lead to open his plate. A few fierce-looking women stamped their feet and walked to the side. Bai Xiaojing smiled when she saw them like this. "People are such strange things. No matter how bad the situation is, they always want to be superior and inferior. Therefore, what these people do is just a fight for power within a small range. Some old authorities are afraid that the newly joined ones will threaten their status, so they call them to come and teach them a lesson." However, she did not want to be soft. He uncovered the plate in front of him. It was a flat piece of tile rather than a plate. A piece of slightly burnt meat was steaming on the plate. She nudged the meat with her hand. The meat was of good quality. It should be a piece of tenderloin meat. But after seeing the complete appearance of the food, she did not want to eat its meat. So, Bai Xiaojing decided to eat plain meat. "Qing's temper is a little weird, but she is a good person. If you stay with her for a while, you will know. She is just a straightforward person who wants to say something. So don't mind her. Most people like you." Another woman approached Bai Xiaojing. She served Bai Xiaojing a bowl of soup mixed with all kinds of plants, and then gave her a bone soup spoon. The woman kept her head down from beginning to end. Since Bai Xiaojing had provided food for her and her family, it was only right for her to gain respect.
