Chapter 408: Rongdi Voluntarily Offers to Shelter the Wolf Tribe

No one expected that Rongdi would also come.

When Rongdi saw the Tulou collapse, he hurried forward, "Yao, are you alright?"

Yao hadn't expected Rongdi to come; he gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and said, "It's fine, no one died."

Rongdi looked at the Tulou that had collapsed and, for the first time, doubted its safety—wasn't it supposed to be safer than the Treehouse? How could it still collapse? "Ying, you're here."

"Qinghuan, what caused it?"

Nan Qinghuan hurried to explain, and after hearing it, Rongdi and Ying learned it was due to a rockslide behind the mountain; he knew such incidents—Ashu had already suffered a mudslide, even worse.

Countless casualties, and their homes were gone.

"Yao, it's fine. These people will settle with my tribe; rest assured, as long as I have a meal, I guarantee they won't go hungry."

These words moved Yao deeply; just as Yao was about to speak, Rongdi patted his chest.

"Hey, come to my place. Ying, aren't the Su Tribe people already all packed in? There's no room. Come to my place; I have many empty Treehouses, perfect for them now. When Spring arrives they'll return. Yao, rest assured, as long as I have food they'll have it. What do you think?"

Rongdi even voluntarily suggested that Yao bring the needed people to his place for the winter.

This left Ying and Nan Qinghuan both extremely astonished.

Rongdi… Ying furrowed his brows, seeming incredulous.

"Going to your place, you know these people need a lot to eat each day; your place originally…"

"No problem. Who am I? Even if Snow blocks the mountains, I can still hunt prey for them. Besides, our sweet potatoes will last a long time. Let's do it this way: send them to my place; I have Treehouses, so they won't have to crowd yours. Next year we'll rebuild the houses, and we'll also rebuild the Tulou; then we can have Youchao Xuan help us. How does that sound?"

This time Rongdi was sincere; he had always felt indebted to Yao because his attack had left Yao without Ashu, so he wanted to make it up to Yao.

The time the road construction took so much land was the same; he wanted to compensate.

Hearing this, Yao naturally felt grateful; he bowed slightly and said, "Then thank you."

"Whatever it is, your land is already within my tribe, so we can just tend the fields. It's settled then. I'll send people to fetch them; you tally the people, and I'll go back to bring some supplies."

This surprised everyone; while the Yao clan suffered, Rongdi was the second to step forward and offer help.

It moved Yao deeply.

That day, Rongdi sent people to deliver food and supplies, then had them relocate all the homeless to Rongdi's tribe. The wolf tribe had been wary of going to Rongdi, since they were former enemies, but seeing Rongdi's kindness, everyone decided to give it a try.

Before this natural disaster, people seemed tiny, yet great love knows no bounds.

The tribes helped each other, enduring this harsh winter together.

Waiting for the time when spring blossoms.

At dusk, the sky was a heavy black, and after Rongdi had taken in the wolf people, he discussed building a Military Camp with Yao; upon hearing it, Yao naturally agreed.

Inside the cozy cabin, the Bonfire flickered brightly without ceasing.

After Rongdi said that, Yao understood their intention and remained supportive of the Military Camp; the three tribes sent people together to build it.

The very thought felt fresh.

Nan Qinghuan sat there watching the three men discuss, while she and ChaoJi peeled sweet potatoes.

She looked relaxed and at ease.

Outside, Snow fell heavily, yet inside it was as warm as Spring, with fragrant sweet potatoes to eat; at that moment she felt very happy.

She didn't take part in the military matters, leaving the three men to decide, and she could foresee that soon this place would become a large town.

Outside, the Snow was blinding, falling wildly.

After the discussion, Ying finally prepared to take Nan Qinghuan back.

"Then it's settled. You select some from the Ren Dao Tribe, and we'll train together."

Yao, grateful that they solved his big problem, nodded and stepped forward, "Alright, I will choose the strongest warriors for the Military Camp."

"No need to send them, we're leaving."

"Hey, with all this Snow, maybe we should wait?"

Yao glanced at Nan Qinghuan's belly and remained worried; the road might be dangerous.

Ying held Nan Qinghuan's hand; her hand was warm as fire and very comforting.

"Don't worry, we have a Carriage, let's go."

Carriage—yes, their Carriage was very convenient.

After Nan Qinghuan and Ying left, Rongdi also prepared to depart; Yao saw Rongdi alone in Beast Skin and started a joke.

"Rongdi, you should find a female sometime; see, we all have one now."

Yao never said such things before, but now it's different; he now regarded Rongdi as a good brother.

Rongdi also envied Ying for having Nan Qinghuan; he had once truly wanted Nan Qinghuan, so he suppressed his temper to pursue her, but later realized she would never like him no matter what.

Therefore, he had no interest in other females.

Thus… he sneered, "Females are such a hassle. Look at Ying, a fine male now controlled by a woman, always with a woman wherever he goes—so uncomfortable. I'm better off; no one controls me. Fine, I'm leaving. Rest assured, I'll treat your people as my own, and I'll raise them plump and send them to you."

After saying that, Rongdi braved the Snow and left, taking only a few people; as they went, many deep and shallow footprints marked the ground, making Yao's nose tingle with emotion.

He let out a deep sigh, standing in the Snow, watching them disappear; had Rongdi and Ying not helped, he wouldn't have known how to handle or settle these people.

If not for their help, he knew these people would meet a grim fate.

Starvation deaths, frost deaths, countless in number.

"Yao, Rongdi has really changed a lot, don't you think?"
