Chapter 1254: The Hand That Steals Grain

~7 min read 1,283 words

"Ah... so that's how it is."

But he immediately discovered something wrong: "However, if Huaxia is really that good, why not let the Huaxia people farm the land, instead of coming to our Suiren tribe to ask for people? This, this isn't right!"

"Exactly, exactly!" The people around started clamoring again.

Liuye was almost speechless: "I said it already, Huaxia is short on people. Huaxia has enough grain and enough land, but the people they have now can no longer keep up with the farming. With such a large territory, how could they possibly finish farming all the land?"

"Instead of letting it grow Grass, it's better to hand it over to their own people to farm. Brother, let me tell you, Huaxia really treats the Suiren tribe as their own people now. If you go, your treatment will be exactly the same as the Huaxia people's."

"So many of my own tribesmen have gone, how could I not know? Besides, I have been in Huaxia for so long, and our Leader Chengqie is also living in Huaxia. Huaxia is very good. If it weren't for the fact that the Tribal Chief is worried about you all, we would have moved to Huaxia to live long ago."

This time Liuye was lying, because he really hadn't seen with his own eyes what his tribesmen were like now. His tribesmen were indeed living much better in Huaxia than in the Suiren tribe, to the point that they had forgotten they even had a leader named Liuye. Life without a leader was actually not bad at all.

No matter what problem arose, Huaxia officials would help them solve it, which was much more capable than their own Tribal Chief. Even if Liuye went over now, he was afraid that his tribesmen's recognition of him would not be as high as before. In fact, if they had to choose one or the other, perhaps more of them would be willing to choose Huaxia instead of him, Liuye.

And this leader, asking such a moronic question, was actually trying to persuade himself. He was tempted and very much wanted to go to Huaxia, but there was always something in his heart that wouldn't let him go. For a moment, he found it difficult to make a decision.

But at this moment, the tribesmen of Sanxin discovered that the grain in their two grain bags had actually decreased by half. When they went to observe, they even saw a few hands reaching inside.

This kind of petty theft made them very dissatisfied, and they hurriedly reported to their team leader, who was the youngest son of Sanxin: "Captain! They are stealing grain!"

This sentence was no different from a bolt from the blue, because the Suiren tribe could hardly tolerate such behavior. After all, if you stole and ate, other tribesmen would have less to eat, and there might be a risk of starving to death during Winter.

But this was Huaxia's grain. Their people had stolen it, and now it was over; it was trouble. That leader didn't even have time to think about whether or not to join Huaxia; how to solve this current matter was a problem in itself.

But the youngest son of Sanxin reacted immediately: "It's fine, it's fine, it's just a little grain. Besides, this was originally meant to be distributed to them anyway; if they ate it, they ate it."

These words also put Liuye's heart at ease. As long as it was said like this, that complicated matter became irrelevant. His brother, the leader, also laughed and was no longer nervous.

However, because of these words from Sanxin's youngest son, the onlookers had a bit of a misunderstanding. Two people had their hands brazenly stuck directly into the grain bags, and seeing that even more people wanted to get their hands on it, the large crowd of onlookers had a trend of wanting to rob all the grain brought here.

So the son of Sanxin hurriedly shouted: "Stop! I said, this grain is indeed for the people of the Suiren tribe, but did I say it was for you people?"

"The grain here will only be given to those who are prepared to go to Huaxia. This is grain given to them in advance to tell them that we are not short of grain, but that doesn't mean everyone can just take it at will. Before taking the grain, ask yourselves first: do you want to go to Huaxia?"

Those two people who were preparing to reach out, looking a bit like hoodlums, said without a care: "We'll go, we'll go, can you give us the grain now?"

Sanxin's son said bluntly: "Alright, as long as you want to go, register first. Who is your leader? Tell me, and we'll just let them know."

"Tribal Chief Baoxi said that no matter who it is, as long as they are willing to go, they can go. Your leader has no power to stop you."

"You two are the first ones here to say you want to go to Huaxia, so I have to record you clearly, don't I?"

Although he said it with a smile, it sounded a bit terrifying to those two hoodlums. They had just come to steal some grain and were just saying it casually; who really wanted to go to Huaxia!

If they were really targeted, wouldn't they be finished? So the two of them turned around and ran away, not stopping for a second.

And when Liuye saw this, there were still some hoodlums in there. It seemed that if he wanted to make these people really want to go, he had to take down his brother first. As long as he relented, wouldn't he be able to complete the task directly with his team of thousands of people?

"Brother, give me an answer. Do you want to go to Huaxia? If you want to go, all this grain is yours. They brought a lot more, not just this bit. Just consider it food for the road. When you arrive at Huaxia, there will be even more."

"Because this time, time is tight, we didn't dare to recruit too many people, so we don't need that many. Your tribe's people are basically enough. If you are willing to go, I just happen not to have to go to other tribes."

"If you don't want to go, give me an answer now, and I'll go find someone else. I want to return to Huaxia sooner; I live so comfortably in Huaxia."

That leader was pushed into a corner. Who knew he would be in such a rush? He had wanted to consider it carefully, and now asking him to make a choice so quickly was a bit too difficult.

"What does the Tribal Chief say? Does the Tribal Chief agree?"

Liuye gave a guarantee: "The Tribal Chief agrees. This matter was originally what the Tribal Chief told us to do. We went to find the Tribal Chief as soon as we came back yesterday; the Tribal Chief knows everything."

"Then, then what you just said, can it really be honored?"

When Liuye heard this, he knew it was settled this time, so he patted his chest and said: "Definitely, no problem at all. If there is any discrepancy, you come find me, and I will solve it for you!"

Even if there is a problem, you won't be able to find me, Liuye thought to himself. Once you go, you'll be in a very far place, and Laozi can stay in Huaxia City! You might not even be able to enter Huaxia City, let alone find me!
