Chapter 538: Making This a Jiuzhou Tribe's Happy Haven

Na Tu nodded, his eyes full of expectation; he extended his rough large hand and gently stroked his daughter's small hand, his gaze recalling how she eats rice.

So cute.

"Li Xiang, the first time I tasted rice I liked it as much as A Le, I also want my tribe to be able to eat tasty rice and those dishes. Ying, can you teach us? We will certainly study the farming techniques diligently, and of course I won't let you help in vain; I can…"

Na Tu paused, then murmured, "I can also hand over the Tunshu skill to you."

When those words were spoken, everyone stared at him in astonishment, especially Nan Qinghuan, who really couldn't understand why Na Tu would be willing to hand over the Tunshu skill to them, just to learn how to farm?

Ying and Nan Qinghuan exchanged a glance; he took a deep breath and looked at Na Tu uncertainly, "Is what you said true?"

If the people here all learned the Beast Taming skill, would they still fear the powerful Baiqi Tribe? At that moment, Ying formed his own thought.

Na Tu nodded, "Of course it's true; as long as you teach our tribe to farm, I'm willing."

That night, the men drank almost until dawn because the matter was settled, and Nan Qinghuan did not want to disturb them.

Seeing them call each other brothers, she could only take A Le back first.

In the middle of the night, A Le woke up, lying in bed watching Nan Qinghuan prepare a blanket for her; suddenly she hugged Nan Qinghuan tightly, "Sister, I want to stay here to study, okay?"

A Le still wanted to stay here, to stay here and learn; she longed to imagine living happily here every day like those children, without so many unhappy things, and she could make good friends, but after returning she would have to learn some rules.

She didn't want to learn those rules; she wanted to stay here.

She really wanted to.

Hearing A Le's words, Nan Qinghuan felt a pang of sorrow; under the candlelight the little girl clung to her so tightly. She reached out and gently stroked her hair, smiling lightly like a flower, "Alright, A Le, your father has already spoken about tonight's matter; you should go back now. When you grow a bit older you can come back to study, okay?"

"But I still want to stay here, sister, can you help me?"

Nan Qinghuan hadn't realized how deep her attachment to staying here was; actually she and Ying also wanted to keep her here, because as long as she stayed, their relationship with the Beast Taming Tribe could develop harmoniously, but… "A Le, be good, go to sleep first; ask your father again tomorrow, okay?"

Little A Le was still very sensible; after Nan Qinghuan said that, she said no more, nodded, "Okay, I'll ask my father again tomorrow, sister, thank you, I feel much better now."

A Le liked Nan Qinghuan a lot; after Nan Qinghuan talked with her for a few sentences she got up and left, and when she stepped outside it was almost dawn.

"Qinghuan"

From not far away, Ji Guang hurried over, "Ying and those men got drunk, they're now lying at home; go take a look. Those men really, they drank all night."

Ji Guang hated men's drinking, so she was truly angry; Rongdi had been carried back by someone, and she wanted to know what they had said last night and how they got so terribly drunk. "It's fine, they must have had a good chat last night; Na Tu wants us to help teach them farming techniques."

"Farming?"

Ji Guang frowned, a bit confused, "Didn't they say they make a living by Tunshu? Why farming?"

"No one can resist the temptation of rice and buns, what do you think?"

Na Tu, after eating rice here yesterday, couldn't forget it; he wants to farm, to live simple days like the Common People of the Small Town.

She thought it feasible!

Ji Guang nodded, "It seems you truly had a great influence in antiquity; all the tribe now no longer devour flesh, but will you teach them just like that?"

"He said he's willing to tell us the Tunshu skill."

"Tunshu, okay, the exchange is fine; have you agreed?"

Nan Qinghuan was about to say something when Li Xiang's voice came from not far away.

"Junior sister"

"Senior brother"

Li Xiang came to find Nan Qinghuan; Ji Guang didn't stay any longer, and after a few words with Nan Qinghuan she went back to tend to Rongdi, of course Rongdi's day was not going well today.

Ji Guang was in a bad mood; having drunk that much, he risked being thrown out.

"Ji Guang, don't throw Rongdi out; men still need to save face."

When Ji Guang was about to leave, Nan Qinghuan reminded her with a sentence; Ji Guang stopped but didn't look back, "Got it, you're still worried about your own men."

After Ji Guang left, Nan Qinghuan felt good; she lifted her eyes toward Li Xiang, having not had a proper chat with her senior brother for several days.

"Senior brother, did you come to me about something?"

Li Xiang saw her in good spirits; the child being found made them all happy, "Junior sister, I want to have a good talk with you about the Beast Taming Tribe matters."

It being a serious matter, Nan Qinghuan didn't dare to delay, "Alright, where shall we go?"

"Let's go, I know a Tea House with good tea and some food, want to try?"

"Sure."

She hadn't been out shopping for a long time, so she and Li Xiang prepared to go to the Tea House to sit for a while and enjoy an ancient afternoon tea.

Ying got drunk but she wasn't worried; actually his tolerance was good, at most he'd go back to sleep. Whatever happened, A Mu would come find her.

Soon, they arrived at a Tea House; the Tea House was a stilt building made of bamboo, somewhat like ancient pavilions, and now the Small Town has all kinds of architectural styles.

Thus, this place is the cultural center.

More and more people come here, from everywhere; she and Ying hope to turn this into a Jiuzhou haven, so that all the tribe members living here can live happily together.

No hunger, no war, no coercion or bullying.

Everything is so harmonious.

After reaching the second floor, Li Xiang found a seat by the window and then had two cups of tea brought.

The tea fragrance filled the air, instantly transporting her to modern times.

A cup of tea, plus some leaf-wrapped snacks; although not as refined as modern ones, the taste was still good.

"Try this, it's called Baro, I heard it's made with Mugwort."

"Mugwort, why does it feel like Mugwort cake?"

"It's the same, they call it that here, try it?"
