Chapter 4 (2/2)

Hearing the noise, the women turned her head back, Donford Wu pointed at the fish that was left by the sh.o.r.e.

The woman took a look at the fish, then at the three bodies, at last she looked at Donford Wu, she hesitated for a long time before turning around, picking up the shredded clothing, trying to cover up.

“You don’t even have anything to look at.” Donford Wu took off a piece of clothing off a body, throwing it towards the woman.

While taking off the clothing, he accidentally found out that the man’s chest at a curious tattoo, around the size of a palm, the tattoo took the shape of fire.

Looking at the other two, their chests’ also had the same kind of tattoo, this could be the symbol of his clan, or maybe it was some kind of Sect’s mark, if there was actually Sects.

While Donford Wu was looking closely at the tattoo that was on one of the bodies, the woman already threw the other two bodies into the water, the bodies didn’t sink to the bottom, but rather floated down the stream.

Except for the wooden club and the bit of clothing, these people didn’t carry any other things on them, the clues were extremely limited. Donford Wu still couldn’t guess what period he was in.

Waiting until the woman threw away the last body into the water, Donford Wu asked, “Why did they attack you?”

The woman could guess what Donford Wu was asking, through a series of gestures, Donford Wu could also guess what she was trying to say. These three men and this woman were part of a different clan, this stream belonged to the clan of these three men, and she sneakily came here to catch fish.

“After half a day, so you were actually a thief.” Donford Wu laughed.

The woman naturally didn’t understand what Donford Wu was saying, through another series of gestures, she said that since they killed people, they couldn’t stay here anymore and had to quickly leave.

There was no use chatting, so through a gesture, Donford Wu said that she should go first, but after she hesitated for a bit, she held the fish in one hand and pulled him into the forest in another.

“Where are you taking me?” Donford Wu asked.

The woman didn’t say anything, but looked down while walking forwards.

Donford Wu didn’t ask again, using tree branches as rails, he followed behind her. He actually already knew the answer, if she was living by herself, she would take him to where she hid. If she was part of a clan, then she would take him to her village.

The woman was wearing straw shoes, she rushed pretty quickly, while running, Donford Wu quietly sized her up from behind. This women was about twenty five or six years old, her round face was squarer, she was about a meter and sixty centimeters tall, very skinny, probably because of malnutrition. Not only that, this woman probably gave birth before, because her crotch was rather wide.

Even though the woman stopped from time to time to wait for him, Donford Wu still followed her with great difficulty. Anyone would find it hard to climb a mountain with only a single leg.

After climbing to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, Donford Wu was already covered in sweat. Just when he wanted to sit down and take a break, he discovered that north western hill had a patch of land that didn’t have any gra.s.s on it, and a bunch of rocks were exposed. Lots of naked men were standing there digging for something.

“Is that your village?” Donford Wu pointed towards the north western side.

The woman shook her head, pointing at the north western side saying something, turning back towards Donford Wu, she urged him to get up and get going.

The positioning device didn’t show any change after Donford Wu moved from his spot, it still showed his last position where he landed. Right now, it’s only use was as a clock.

Twelve thirty, the woman brought Donford Wu to a village, seeing the village, Donford Wu relaxed a bit. Even though the houses and buildings were a bit broken and shabby, but was much more advanced than the shacks he thought of. With this, he knew that he wasn’t in primitive times.

The woman’s house was at the village’s south eastern side, two six or seven year old children ran towards her, screaming “ah me” while welcoming her.

The woman gave the fish to the two children to take back to the house, she then brought Donford Wu towards the village center.

Because the men were all working in the mountain, there were mostly only women and children, Donford Wu’s arrival made them feel curious, taking to the woman in a high pitched voice while taking a look at Donford Wu.

Donford Wu was also sizing them up, even though these women were also wearing rags, but they had a more complete set. Their houses were also st.u.r.dier than her house. Through this, it wasn’t hard to guess that this woman’s position in this village was lower than the rest.

The village took up the a lot of s.p.a.ce, but the houses were rather far apart, the s.p.a.ce between the houses were around ten or more meters, this might be because of they wanted to prevent snakes and bugs from getting in, the houses were also not built on the ground, but were raised a meter high by wood poles.

The woman brought Donford Wu to the village’s center house. Sitting in front of the house, she talked with a middle aged man. The middle aged man didn’t have any arms, at the moment, he was using his legs to use a grinder and it was currently grinding some herbs.

Seeing the grinder, Donford Wu’s heart lit up. Grinders are a metal object, according to the color it should be made out of copper. Apart from the grinder, the tattoo on the man’s chest also raised Donford Wu’s interest. This person’s tattoo was shaped like a t, looking at it carefully, it was a sword pointing down.

This armless middle aged man didn’t seem to be the owner of this house, after hearing what the woman had to say, he turned to look at Donford Wu, at last, he stood up, used his feet to open the door, then went in.

The woman stared at the entrance, clearly showing that she was nervous. At one side, Donford Wu was rather quite relaxed. This women was clearly asking the chief of the village to take him in. If they accepted him, then he would stay for a period of time. If they didn’t, then he would leave…..
