Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 242 The Burning Homeland (16)

Preparations for the festival are in full swing.The Huimo expedition team frequently traveled to and from the tribal borders and brought back all kinds of rare things.

“There are fewer colored mines every year, and we don’t know when they will be dug out.”

"We should go deeper. Isn't there still a large unexplored area?"

"I don't want to die. It is said that there are monsters under the command of the Fallen Demon there that can eat people."

"That's nonsense. Didn't our ancestors also hold torches to explore the road in the beginning?"

"No matter what you say, I don't want to go anyway."

The team members were sitting around outside the warehouse, chatting with each other.They have just brought back the last batch of goods. After counting, they can rest for a while.

Went south to visit the Tutong Mountain Tribe.Only their blacksmith skills were good enough to cast the things that Yu Di wanted.Qitong, the leader of Tutong Mountain, knew that he was coming, arranged the things at hand, and greeted him personally.

"I recently heard that your tribe is doing something big."

"Oh?" De Nan looked like he was listening attentively, "Would you like to hear it?"

Qitong narrowed his eyes: "You are calm."

"Ha, you know me."

Qitong changed the subject: "What did you ask him to make? It looks like a toy. Do you need me to take care of it?"

"It's what Yu Di wants." De Nan simply explained.

Qitong was very interested in this child whom he had only met once: "If there is a chance in two days, let me meet her. I am really curious whether Yu Chao's child is more powerful than her."

"She should be free after the ceremony. I mentioned you to her."

"What did you say?" Qitong raised his eyebrows, and his muscles moved the raised little horns on his head.

"Say you are a friend of me and Yu Chao." Chu Nan smiled.

"Just friends." Qitong looked at him.

De Nan's smile faded a little, but he didn't respond.Qitong felt bored, so he went into the house and patted the blacksmith on the shoulder, asking him to do a good job, and then walked away with the others, forgetting what he originally wanted to remind Chunan.Denan lowered his eyes and waited for a while. The blacksmith put the finished items in the box and handed it to him. He smiled, accepted the money, and put the sign at the door inside.

Someone by the side asked him: "Uncle Hulan, are you ready to close the door?"

Blacksmith Hulan was carrying a can of sour wine and said happily: "I've earned enough money, let's take a few days off! See you after the holidays!"

"...It seems that this Humo man is not poor either." Others murmured, constantly glancing at Chunan.Because they had to deal with Huimo's goods, they had quite a lot of contact with them.The people of Tutongshan were not able to learn the Jiaoxu script, but they had their own set of communication symbols, which could be regarded as a rudiment of language. The Jiaoxu people never bothered to understand it, so it was not recorded in the books.

Therefore, their attitude towards the Huimo people is not as repulsive as the other two tribes.Especially after Qitong took over as the leader, she and Yu Chao had a good relationship, and the entire Tutong Mountain began to have a different view of Hui Mo.This is also the reason why Denanken entrusts things to them.

After returning to the tribe from the south, before I had time to rest, several people came looking for me.Some people reported to him the inventory situation, some came to inquire about the personnel arrangements, and some asked if they wanted to add sewing patterns to their clothes.Deminan dismissed them and saw Suzu Tapir, who had been following him.

"What's wrong?" Ling Tapir whispered, "I discovered something and I need to talk to you alone."

Deminan nodded, let his followers go about their business, and went to a deserted place with Suzu Tapir.

"It's Ningsha. She often leaves the tribe among the workers these days. It's hard for me to follow her, and I don't know who she meets. But as soon as she comes back, she hangs around the warehouse. I think she is planning something. .”

"Besides her, is there anyone else who has any strange behavior?"

"Uh..." Ling Tapir hesitated and told the truth, "The tribe has been very busy recently. There are many people coming and going, and it's a mess. I'm really not sure. How about you instruct a few people to take care of it?"

Chu Nan thought for a moment: "Forget it, no need, everyone is busy. Don't you guys have something to do? Are you done with school stuff?"

Ling Tapir chuckled: "A friend made it for me."

Denan rubbed her head: "Okay, you don't have to keep an eye on Ningsha day and night. Go to the warehouse. The things you want to give to other tribes this time are very important, so there can't be any mistakes."

"Yes." Ling Tapir ran away happily.De Nan still admires this child very much. He is smart enough and willing to do things.It's just that her father is not easy to deal with. He comes to see him again and again, asking Chunan to persuade her to work hard so that she can get a big house when she becomes an adult.Demin respects this idea and understands what the other person is worried about.This is the rule of the Huimo tribe. Contribution is calculated based on output, which determines the standard of living.There was no precedent for a leader to distribute supplies in the past. He boasted that he was the first in the world, so we could only avoid him and talk about it later.

Ling Tapir's father, Qu Suo, said he was very dissatisfied.But because she trusted Chu Nan, she didn't want to make trouble with him in her old age, so she had to worry about her life.Lishan knew his situation and occasionally gave him some food.

"My daughter is really not as sensible as yours. She doesn't do her job all day long and only knows how to mess around."

Li Shan smiled gently: "My family is about the same. I didn't like any of the ones I chose for her, and I don't know who she wants."

"My family probably doesn't even have a decent house, alas."

"Don't worry, you will be sensible when you grow up." Li Shan patted his arm, "What has she been doing recently? The Prayer Festival is about to start, and there are many jobs to make money."

When he mentioned this, Qu Suo became even more worried: "I don't know. I saw her wandering around on the street, or staying at the door of the warehouse. She didn't even know how to do the work that was delivered to her door. I was so angry."

"You didn't ask the leader to talk about her?"

"I went there several times, and the leader told me to relax. This kid always claimed that he was doing things for him. I was afraid that he really gave orders, and he wouldn't grow old. Alas."

"How can this be done? This is the age when she is full of energy, and the leader is pampering her?"

"Who says it's not the case? It's not just her. Several children say they are working for Chu Nan, and they don't know what they are doing." Qusuo sighed, "Sister, if Ningsha is free, help me persuade her. Right? She is a few years older than Ling Tapir, so we can talk about it together."

Li Shan nodded: "Okay, I'll tell Ningsha later and make sure she calms down and works hard."

"Thank you very much. Sigh."

Li Shan looked at Qu Suo's back and sighed in his heart.When he was young, he was also a spirited young man, but unfortunately he chose the wrong partner and failed to leave a few more children when he was in his best health.After separating from Ling Tapir's mother, he did not find another woman to live with, but lived in a small house with his children.

No wonder he always looks sad.Such a person would probably not be able to survive without the children he regards as his spiritual support.With Bell Tapir's temperament, the father and daughter can get into trouble. (End of chapter)
