Chapter 556: The Giant Tribe Relocates Entirely to the Small Town
She is very sincere and honest, and then she shouted toward those behind her, "Tribe members, anyone who wants to go to Ying Town, all come to me and beg for Ying's consent."
After that shout, the tribe members slowly walked toward Ying, numbering several hundred. They were tall, but their bodies were very frail, as if a gust of wind could topple them.
They are as lively as the former members of his tribe.
At this moment, Ying's heart also changed a bit.
Rongdi saw that Ying fell silent and said, "Ying, look how pitiful they are, just take them away."
"Ying, we beg you to take us in; we are willing to become people of Small Town, and we will work hard."
Those tribe members, after experiencing the earthquake, no longer want to stay here, especially the situation yesterday—can you imagine? An earthquake and a battle at the same time, life and death!
So tragic.
The tribe members fear death and no longer wish to stay, even if it is the land left by their ancestors, but this land can no longer sustain them; why do they still insist on staying? Seeing the tribe members kneel, Jiguang stepped forward and suddenly knelt before him, "Ying, I beg you."
Rongdi, seeing his daughter‑in‑law kneel, felt a pang of sympathy and said, "Jiguang, stand up. Ying, you're a brother, so you should agree; do you want me to kneel for you as well?"
Rongdi got a bit angry; when Ying saw him truly about to kneel to him, he suddenly reached out and stopped him, "What are you doing? When did I ever say I disagreed?"
This made Jiguang and the tribe members very pleased.
He is willing to take them away? Rongdi was also surprised, looking at Ying with delight, "Ying, are you serious?"
Ying chuckled, patted Rongdi's shoulder, "Of course what I said is true. Everyone, get up. Since everyone respects me, I can't let you down. Those who want to return to Small Town with me, go pack your things; we set out at first light tomorrow."
"Great! We can live in Small Town."
The women and children of the Giant Tribe were delighted, because they heard that wherever they go they can study and write, eat many delicious foods, and most importantly, women can find work anywhere and earn money.
With money, the children can be fed and live in nice houses.
That night, the Giant Tribe held a grand farewell banquet.
They are leaving this land; the final night they will bid farewell here.
Ying, as a guest, naturally joined; after three rounds of wine, he sat on a stone, watching the tribe members still singing and dancing, and at that moment he missed Nan Qinghuan and the children.
He didn't know what they were doing, whether they had slept, or if they missed him. He gently lay on the big stone, beneath a sky of pitch‑black stars and a round, bright moon.
"Ying."
A voice from behind came—Jiguang's. Jiguang brought him tasty beast meat, but Ying didn't want to eat it. "I won't eat it; you eat it, okay?"
Jiguang rarely talks to Ying; this time Rongdi asked her to help him, and she came without hesitation. When she saw him bring people, she admired the man deep down; Nan Qinghuan really chose a good man.
"Fine, I won't eat it, then I'll eat it."
Jiguang chewed the meat while looking at the sky, "What are you thinking about, the children, or Nan Qinghuan?"
Ying hadn't expected Jiguang to say that; he let out a deep sigh, gazed into her eyes, and smiled, "Both."
The phrase "both" exhausted the wild man's tenderness. Jiguang chuckled, "Nan Qinghuan is truly lucky to have such a good man; no wonder she doesn't want to leave here."
This made Ying's expression darken; he immediately stood up, "What are you saying? Qinghuan is leaving; where is she going?"
Ying was nervous; Jiguang realized she misspoke and gave an awkward laugh, "No, I meant—where could she go? In this life, she can only be with you."
Ying didn't believe her, because in his view Qinghuan's identity as an Ape Tribe member always existed. Would the Ape Tribe come looking for Qinghuan? Thinking of this, he grew anxious, fearing trouble over there!
At that moment he could no longer sit still; with a sudden leap he stood up, "Jiguang, I have something to ask you. Tell me honestly, did you and Qinghuan come from the same place? Do you really have airplanes there?"
Jiguang: "......"
She stared at Ying in astonishment, never expecting the word "airplane" to come from his mouth, and asked, "Did Qinghuan tell you?"
In fact, Ying had already guessed that Jiguang might also be from there, because she said some strange things to Qinghuan.
Has the Ape Tribe become that advanced? "When I get the chance, I definitely want to go see it, to see what Qinghuan's home looks like."
"You want to go?"
Jiguang was speechless, wanting to say you kid have no chance; a wild person going to the modern world—that's just a dream, impossible even in a dream.
Thinking that she could never return, that she would have to live with this shell forever, Jiguang felt despondent.
"Of course I want to. I want to see everything there. Do you welcome me?"
Jiguang was about to say that whether she welcomes him or not doesn't matter; the fact that he can go is what matters, when suddenly Rongdi rushed over from not far away.
"Ying, news has come from Small Town."
Hearing there was news, Ying immediately stood up, "What is it?"
After Rongdi told Ying everything, Ying was first stunned, then incredulous, "What? Qinghuan captured Duofa, and Duofa was bitten to death by Jingang?"
"Exactly. Yao sent the message that way. Ying, I think we should hurry back. I'm worried the Baiqi Tribe will send people for revenge; then…"
"Jiguang, have the tribe pack up now; we set out immediately."
Ying hadn't expected Nan Qinghuan to team up with Yao and kill Duofa. Duofa's death wasn't the problem; he feared the Baiqi Tribe would send people to deal with them.
How can this be? He must rush back at once!
Hearing this, Jiguang quickly nodded, "Don't rush; I'll summon the tribe now, and we depart immediately."
It was supposed to be a departure tomorrow, but after hearing that Nan Qinghuan had killed Duofa, Ying, fearing danger for her, chose to lead the people out at midnight. It was a pitch‑black night, yet Ying had a way.
He summoned many Firefly Insects to illuminate the road for them, and thus the main force slowly marched toward Ying Town. As the Giant Tribe's members left, they cast one last glance at the land they had once dwelled on.
Someone couldn't bear to leave, kneeling to kiss the land, whispering blessings.
The Giant Tribe completely vanished from Jiuzhou.
A golden dawn stretched across the horizon.
When Nan Qinghuan awoke, Axi's booming voice rang outside, sounding very cheerful.
"Qinghuan, wake up quickly! Good news."
