The woman with the yellow face cursed him vehemently while seeking acknowledgment from other primitives.
Clearly, the 'Blue Face' and his cronies supported her.
The more she cursed, the more energized she became, hugging her child and crying as if Ma Lin had beaten him harshly.
Suddenly, she charged forward, attempting to scratch Ma Lin's face.
Ma Lin dodged, and she lunged at him again.
Ma Lin kept evading her, swaying three times in a row until she grabbed nothing but air, causing Ma Lin to retreat to a distance.
She then kicked two of the sheep with her foot.
In such situations, Ma Lin didn't know what he should say.
When the woman sat aside on the ground, crying and fussing, Ma Lin contemplated, untied the ewe from the stake, and led her away.
Outside the wall, he reset the stake and tied the sheep to it.
Next, he brought over the fire pot, placing it beside the sheep to prevent wild animals from biting it.
