Chapter 577: The Entire Tribe Decides to Relocate to Kuaihuo City
Nan Qinghuan hasn't heard of anyone starving to death for a long time, but she didn't expect that among the Bai Tribe she would still hear that some can starve. "Why, weren't you like this before?"
"In the past we could barely get by because the rain was abundant, but this year it hasn't rained for a long time, many wild fruits won't grow, and the Heavenly God punished us; in March it still snowed, the fruit blossoms were scattered, so they couldn't bear fruit. The red fruit that the Goddess eats is only for the Clan Leader; we can only eat some other leaves and bark."
Damn!
Nan Qinghuan didn't expect to still hear of tribe members eating bark; she gritted her teeth, no wonder Lan Tian said so many people would attack Kuaihuo City, it turns out survival was truly threatened.
She was also giving it her all for her own tribe.
She actually admired that kid, at least he truly thought of the tribe.
"Young lady, don't worry, there will always be a way; Heaven never cuts off a person's path."
The young lady's eyes looked at her expectantly, "Really?"
Nan Qinghuan nodded, "Really, as long as you want to survive there will always be a way."
Just as the young lady was about to speak, Nan Tian's voice came from that side.
"Nan Qinghuan, I've brought all the tribe members."
Nan Qinghuan turned her head and saw, indeed, many people standing on the flat ground there; on closer look about two or three hundred people, who could have thought a single Bai Tribe could gather so many.
"Nan Qinghuan, my tribe members have arrived, they are all willing to go back with you."
Yes, because they can't get enough food here, the tribe will no longer agonize over whether to let go; although the homeland is hard to leave, the stomach must be filled.
So... they all want to follow behind Nan Qinghuan, to walk with her.
Seeing these people with no clothes and children as skinny as a rib, Nan Qinghuan took a deep breath, "Alright, since you are all willing to follow me back, I will take you back. Pack up everything here, and we set out at first light tomorrow, okay?"
"Thank you, Goddess, Goddess."
Everyone, excited, went back to pack their things, to leave tomorrow with Nan Qinghuan. Seeing everyone so willing to leave, Nan Qinghuan seemed to recall the former Cannibal Tribe.
There, they also could no longer stay because of flood disaster, and here they are forced to leave because they cannot fill their stomachs.
The tribe made a very difficult choice.
After the tribe left, Nan Tian seemed happy; he knew the tribe wanted to go down the mountain for a better life, he himself was also rather comical, having failed in the attack, and now he was begging Nan Qinghuan to lead them back.
Fortunately, Nan Qinghuan did not refuse.
"Nan Qinghuan, thank you."
Nan Tian suddenly took out a bouquet from behind and handed it to her; in the sunlight, the youth stared at her blankly, his gaze extremely gentle.
"Please accept it."
Nan Qinghuan was stunned; the kid was quite romantic, even giving her flowers.
But she could not accept.
"I won't take this flower; you also prepare to go with me. This place is a beautiful mountain and water area, but your way of life truly needs to change, otherwise it will be changed."
"Take it, I like you."
Damn!
Nan Tian's words left Nan Qinghuan stunned; what, the kid likes her? How could that be!
She quickly shook her head, "I'm already married, I have a husband and child, it's impossible."
She dropped that line and turned her back, "You're like a brother to me, stop daydreaming. If you want to go to Kuaihuo City, pack your things; if not, stay here."
She said that and turned to leave; Nan Tian, though rejected, wasn't angry, he just smiled, "I knew you'd say that, but Nan Qinghuan, I don't mind sharing you with Ying."
"I do mind."
Nan Qinghuan was angry and gave him a cold look, "Don't spout nonsense here; if you have any other ideas, your tribe shouldn't go either."
She was angry; Lan Tian knew she didn't want it, but he wasn't angry either, "I was just teasing you, don't be mad; I've brought the Herbal Medicine you want."
The Herbal Medicine was the reason she came here.
She didn't expect the legendary Guxiang Grass to look like this; it seemed not a grass but a flower.
Yes, a flower.
Its color was also multicolored.
And it was a seven-colored flower; after the Remote Antiquity Era, she had seen all strange species, so this seven-colored flower didn't seem unusual to her.
"Is this your Divine Herb?"
"That's clearly a flower, right?" Lan Tian nodded, "Yes, this is the Divine Herb, it can protect children. Are you pregnant?"
Nan Tian wondered if she was pregnant, but seeing her flat belly he thought not; she was seeking it for someone else.
"What am I carrying? It's for my senior brother's child. Does this thing really have such miraculous effect?"
Lan Tian nodded, "Of course. We once had a woman's child about to be lost, and eating a petal cured it."
"So miraculous?"
Nan Qinghuan said she couldn't believe it; Nan Tian, seeing she wasn't angry, handed her the flower, "You are as beautiful as the flower, take it, I won't babble any more."
"Fine, I don't like flowers. If you really want to thank me, let me have a serving of Roasted Meat, I'm hungry."
"Roasted Meat?"
Lan Tian thought it over and agreed; although he didn't know what Roasted Meat was, he knew what meat was.
"I'll go hunting, you come with me. Tonight we will leave. According to Tribe Rules we must bid farewell to our ancestors, there will be a Ritual ceremony; you should come too."
"Ritual?"
She realized that every Tribe had a mysterious Ritual; this was the belief of Ancient People. Fortunately, Kuaihuo City no longer performed Rituals now, but some tribe members still believed.
Ignorance was slowly fading; more people believed that humanity can overcome Heaven, that with one's own hands one can change one's destiny.
To live a better life.
"Ritual, you come, it's to take you to see our place."
Nan Tian was about to lead her to tour the Tribe, but after a few steps he suddenly remembered something, looked up with a complicated expression, and said, "Nan Qinghuan, why did you dare come here alone, why did you think I wouldn't hurt you?"
He had wanted to ask this for a long time: how could Nan Qinghuan be so bold, riding a horse up the mountain without bringing anything? Why? Does she truly ignore everything? Nan Qinghuan shrugged, thought for a moment, and gave the kid an answer, "Because I know you are a good person; good people don't hurt others."
Good person? Nan Tian has never thought of himself as a good person; he has even killed people.
"No, I'm not a good person."
Yes, he does not admit that he is a good person.
Nan Qinghuan smiled, "If you weren't a good person, when you stormed the city you could have let people use explosives to blow up the streets, but you didn't, right?"
In an instant, his expression turned horrified at Nan Qinghuan's words, "You know I have explosives?"
