Chapter 1210: Ayuduo Cannot Come Back
Surrounded by their tribespeople, everyone finally returned home. After the local Soldiers put down the things they had brought back, they hurried home without a moment's delay; they had been away for nearly a year and had long since been unable to wait.
Bingzhu and the others had to go report for duty. Chiyou also received the news that Bingzhu and the others had returned and immediately laughed out loud: "My son will absolutely be fine!"
Shi was mixed in the crowd, searching for Ayuduo's figure, but he never found her. Fortunately, he saw Yangasha, so he squeezed over to her side, rubbing his hands nervously and asking, "Sister Yangasha, where is Ayuduo? Why haven't I seen Ayuduo?"
Yangasha took one look and saw it was Shi.
"Why are you still so thin? Why can't you grow fat? Doesn't your father give you food to eat?"
Shi pinched his own arm: "I don't lack food, I just don't grow fat. But it's better than before now; I feel like I've grown a little fatter. Sister Yangasha, stop talking about me for a moment. Where is Ayuduo?"
"The Tribal Chief said that when Ayuduo returned, he would let her be my woman."
Yangasha smiled slightly and said, "Then you don't need to wait. Ayuduo cannot come back, and she won't be coming back either."
Shi was stunned on the spot, his mouth hanging wide open, and he said with a trembling voice, "Ayuduo, she... is she dead?"
"She's not dead, she's living just fine. Ayuduo found a man from another tribe, and he's even a king's son—a Tribal Chief's son. He's especially wealthy, and he's tall and strong. Ayuduo stayed there; she's definitely living better than she would here, and better than she would following you."
Shi found it hard to accept and grabbed Yangasha's arm, pressing her: "How is that possible! Ayuduo is from our tribe! She is the Tribal Chief's daughter, how could she do that!"
"Which tribe's man? The Xuanyuan Tribe? Xuanyuan's son? I'm going to the Xuanyuan Tribe to snatch her back!"
Bingzhu walked straight over and rapped Shi on the head with a knuckle: "Snatch what, you idiot? It's not the Xuanyuan Tribe, it's a very distant tribe, a very large one, even more powerful than the Xuanyuan Tribe."
"Besides, as for Ayuduo's man, let alone you, even I might not be able to beat him. What are you going to use to snatch her? Even if a hundred of you went, they wouldn't be afraid."
Shi's eyes turned red and he was puffed up with anger, but he couldn't express his fury now because it was Bingzhu teaching him a lesson, and he didn't dare lose his temper at Bingzhu.
Shi could only sulk. Why hadn't he tried harder before? If he could have eaten and grown a bit fatter, Ayuduo would have been his. No, even if he had used force and slept with Ayuduo, so what! His father was the Tribal Chief's brother; would the Tribal Chief really punish him for the sake of a daughter?
But regret was already too late. Ayuduo would never come back, and he would never see Ayuduo again.
Qianxi came over and also knocked Shi on the head. Everyone couldn't exactly say they disliked Shi; after all, he was a child they had watched grow up, the child of their own brother.
It was just that he was a bit disappointing, always so thin and small, not a qualified Soldier, and no good at hunting either; he could only do some relatively simple work in the tribe.
How could a man like Pengtu have given birth to such a thin and small child? Although Pengtu had many children, Pengtu paid extra attention to this thin child, which was quite special in this era.
If Shi were a child of an ordinary family, he would have been abandoned long ago. After all, a man who could eat but didn't put on weight and couldn't do the work was just a burden. Women could at least bear children, but what could he do?
"Alright, let's go see Father first. There are still many things to discuss."
Bingzhu pulled Yangasha over and ignored Shi entirely.
When they arrived at the place where Chiyou lived, Chiyou also came to welcome his son very happily. Chiyou was very good to the Soldiers of his tribe and was also very enthusiastic; after all, the strongest Soldiers could all be his brothers.
Chiyou grabbed his son's shoulder: "Hahahaha! Bingzhu, I knew you brat couldn't possibly be dead!"
"I even had Fengbo perform divination for you and knew you brat were alive!"
"Fengbo? Has Fengbo already arrived at our tribe?"
Chiyou pointed with his hand: "Look, that is Fengbo, and there is Yushi, that one right there. They have already arrived, but I didn't expect you brat to take so long to return. Did you encounter anything on the road?"
Bingzhu hurriedly greeted Fengbo and Yushi first; such figures had to be shown respect.
Regarding his father's question, Bingzhu also said: "Father, this matter is a bit complicated. I will tell you slowly in a moment; it will take a long time. And there are some more important matters that require your decision. Why don't you see about calling those Leaders over to discuss it together?"
"They are already almost here, tell me now..."
"Hm? Where is Ayuduo? Why don't I see Ayuduo?"
Bingzhu hurriedly replied: "Father, these matters are mainly related to Ayuduo. We met a man from a large tribe on the road, and Ayuduo took a liking to him. We all felt he was good, so Ayuduo stayed in that tribe and did not return."
Chiyou's mood dropped a little: "Is it someone from the Xuanyuan Tribe?"
"It is not, Father. This, this matter is really troublesome; I have to tell you from the beginning."
Chiyou sat back down in his seat with some displeasure. Bingzhu, Qianxi, and the others also each found a place to sit down, while several Soldiers placed the things brought back from Huaxia on the ground.
The place where Chiyou held meetings was a very large cave, but because people lived there for a long time, it was kept very clean, and there was a place for smoke to exhaust, so no matter how much fire was burned, there was no fear of the smoke not being able to get out, and the lighting inside the cave was sufficient.
A large group of people had already gathered around. All eighty-one of Chiyou's brothers were present, as well as a group of Chiyou's children and some other important Soldiers, filling the cave completely.
"Father, then I will start from when we met him."
Bingzhu started from the beginning when he met Changle, and then the days they spent together, his observations of Changle, his understanding, and so on. His words were full of affirmation for Changle, especially noting that Changle was a very excellent Soldier.
As for wealth and wisdom, Bingzhu knew that with his father, these had to be ranked behind; only by possessing sufficiently powerful strength could Chiyou be satisfied.
However, Bingzhu did not lie to Chiyou. Changle had inherited Baifeng's strong body and had also been in contact, so his body was naturally very strong.
In order to be able to deal with the dangers encountered during wilderness exploration, Changle could also skillfully use various Weapons, so saying that Changle was an excellent Soldier was naturally without any problem.
