Beeping nodded tiredly.

"I understand. This child is really out of line. I've talked to her about this before, but she never listened to me. It's all my fault for being too indulgent towards her! Just punish her this time when you come back. Don't worry about my feelings!"

Yuelu smiled at Fengming with relief.

"I know you are a clear-headed person. You must believe me. Xiao Nian is different from anyone else in the tribe. Even Fu Cang, the most powerful warrior, can never replace Mo Xiao Nian. She is the goddess sent by the Moon God to save our tribe. Anyone in our tribe can get into trouble, but not her!"

Beeping nodded sincerely.

After going through so many things, he also saw some of Mo Xiaonian's abilities. She did have extraordinary power. Even if he was too proud, he had to admit this fact.

“I understand. Don’t worry. From now on, I will love and protect Mo Xiaonian just like you and won’t let anyone hurt her.”

By evening, the three cave entrances were finally blocked by large rocks and yellow mud that had killed snakes.

After all, it was a matter of life and death for the tribe, so the people working in the tribe put in a lot of effort. The stones were packed firmly, and the yellow mud was applied layer by layer. When they built their own houses, they were not as solid as this.

All of a sudden, the positions in the innermost part, close to the cave entrance, were no longer popular. All the people who had settled here left, and the positions around the three cave entrances were vacated.

Linghua was found and brought back by people from the tribe in the evening.

She had already learned from the people who came to see her that Mo Xiaonian was fine and had been rescued by Fu Cang. While she felt relieved, she also felt a sense of disappointment.

If Mo Xiaonian really disappeared this time, it would be a good thing for her. Without that annoying person, she believed that her life would be better.

It’s a pity that Mo Xiaonian is really lucky. He encountered so many dangerous things, but came back unscathed.

Linghua walked into the cave in a depressed mood and met Fengming head-on.

"father……"

As soon as Linghua opened her mouth, Fengming slapped her mercilessly in the face.

"Don't call me dad! You still have the nerve to run away! Where can you run to? It's not terrible to make a mistake. You can just come back and admit it. But you just ran away without saying a word, and even troubled so many people to go out and look for you. Do you think you deserve to be beaten?!"

Linghua covered her face and looked at Fengming in shock.

Because her mother died early, Fengming doted on her and had never hit her before.

"Dad! You hit me!"

Fengming did this just to show Yuelu that it looked painful, but he didn't actually use much strength.

After punishing Linghua like this, Yuelu couldn't punish Linghua again even for his sake.

Sure enough, Yuelu came over, looked at Fengming deeply, and then said to Linghua: "It seems that you have not realized your mistake. Before I left the cave, I entrusted Mo Xiaonian to you and asked you to take good care of her. As a result, you turned around and left, leaving her alone in the cave, which gave Tiefu an opportunity to take advantage of you.

I have made up my mind to punish you severely after you come back, but since your father has already beaten you, I will not punish you. However, this matter cannot end like this. From today on, the job of burning charcoal will be handed over to you. You must successfully burn ten pots of charcoal, enough for our tribe to keep warm in the winter, and then you can regain your freedom. As for the method of burning charcoal, let Luhua teach you. Luhua has burned a lot of charcoal in the past period of time. I think what Luhua can do, you can definitely do it too!"

When Linghua heard Yuelu asking her to burn charcoal, her face became distorted with anger.

Mo Xiaonian found it strange when she heard Fu Cang say that Yue Lu punished Linghua to burn charcoal and that she had to successfully burn ten pots before she could regain her freedom.

"This matter should have nothing to do with Linghua. She actually has no responsibility towards me!"

Fu Cang touched her hair.

"You are just too kind-hearted. In the tribe, the Great Elder represents the highest authority. Since she arranged for Linghua to take care of you when you sleep, Linghua should have obeyed and protected you, but she didn't. This is her dereliction of duty. I originally wanted to settle the score with Linghua, but the Great Elder said that this matter should be left to her to handle, so I can only let Linghua go. I hope she can learn a lesson from this incident."

"Are you going to settle accounts with Linghua because of me?"

"Of course! You almost lost your life today. Luckily you came back safely, otherwise, I would have let Linghua be buried with you!"

Mo Xiaonian suddenly felt happy.

It seems that I still have a certain weight in Fu Cang's heart. After thinking about it, Mo Xiaonian handed the dagger that he exchanged today to Fu Cang.

"This is very sharp. Don't you always go out hunting? It will be safer to have this dagger to protect yourself. But be careful, the blade is very sharp, don't cut yourself!"

Fu Cang took the dagger and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he was.

The exquisiteness of this dagger was something he had never seen before, and the material was really strange. It was neither iron nor copper, but it was so bright that it could even reflect a person's face.

"Where did you get this? Did you pick it up from the woods as well?"

"How could such a rare thing be picked up from the forest? I picked this up from a cave!"

Fu Cang pursed his lips helplessly.

Does it make any difference?

Besides, it is even more impossible for such precious things to appear in a cave than in a forest!

Could it be that Mo Xiaonian thinks of herself as a fool?

But he really liked this dagger, so he wiped it carefully with fur until it was shiny, and then put it away properly.

"Tomorrow I will ask the Great Elder to make a scabbard for me out of leather, so that it can better protect the blade. Okay, Xiao Nian, today has been too thrilling. I think your complexion has not recovered yet. Go to bed early. I will stay by your side with you."

Mo Xiaonian is not so lucky that he can go to bed early.

Through this dangerous incident, she realized the importance of points.

If she really didn't have any points at that time, she would not be able to escape from Tiefu's hands. By the time Fu Cang found her, she would have either been tortured by Tiefu or killed by him. By that time, it would be too late to say anything.
