Suddenly, a dozen strong men dressed in animal skins rushed into the small temple, and there were many more standing outside. Most of them were looking at Fang Xing with vigilance. The Great Void Baby was helplessly carried back, and the leader was an old man dressed in a gray robe. His hair and beard were all white, and there were only a few white hairs on his bald head. He looked kind. He raised his hands and pressed down a few times, suppressing the voices of the villagers. Then, he turned around and looked at Fang Xing. Then, he stepped forward and bowed to Fang Xing. He opened his mouth, which had only a few teeth left, and smiled at Fang Xing. "My dear guest, you have woken up? How are your injuries? "
"Hehe, I'm fine, but I can't move at all …"
Fang Xing also looked at the old chief with a smile, and cupped his fists to return the greeting.
When the Great Void Baby saw that Fang Xing had woken up, he had already scurried over. He pinched Fang Xing's body a few times with his little hands. Seeing that he was fine, he felt relieved. He pursed his lips and whispered to Fang Xing, "This is just a poor little tribe. They have lived here for generations, and have never seen the world. It is the beginning of spring now, and the weather is not good. There is not enough food to eat, and the beasts have started to go into heat. They are extremely fierce, and it is not easy to hunt. So, they are all afraid that we will steal their food to eat.
"Hehe, the beasts in the forest are ferocious, and there are even some demons who have attained cultivation. Even when our tribe goes out to hunt, we need a dozen people to go with us. You are walking alone in the forest with a child, so it is inevitable that you will run into danger. But fortunately, you did not lose your life, which is a blessing in disguise …" The old man said courteously, and then smiled, "Since there is a guest in our tribe, we should treat him with great hospitality. But our village is poor, and we can't bring out anything good. We can only prepare some food for you to eat on the way …"
As he was speaking, he asked the woman behind him to bring out a wooden tray. There were two coarse pancakes and a salted fish on it, as if he was going to bring it to Fang Xing. Just these items alone had already made a few strong men behind him look indignant, as if they were unwilling to part with the food. In their tribe, they ate and drank together, and all the food in the tribe was communal. The old chief did not want to take Fang Xing in, nor did he want to provoke strangers. He planned to send them away with the two coarse pancakes and the salted fish, but many of them were already reluctant to part with them!
Looking at the old man's smiling mouth that was missing a tooth, Fang Xing was speechless. He did not know how to reply.
Of course, he was not afraid of these people forcefully chasing him away, but their expressions gave him a headache.
"Uncle, you can't chase them away. He has not recovered from his injuries, and he will be eaten by the demons …"
But the little blind girl was a little anxious when she heard that. She hugged her zither tightly and said softly.
"Blind girl, it's not your place to interrupt when your uncle is talking. Do you believe that I will chase you out as well?"
Behind the chief, a fat woman scolded fiercely. The little blind girl did not dare to talk back, and lowered her head while hugging her zither.
Another strong man also said, "Even if they are eaten by the demons, it's their own business. Who asked them to wander around the forest alone? However, our tribe does not dare to take in strangers. In the past, the Silver Python Tribe took in an injured woman. In the end, she was a concubine who had escaped from an aristocratic family in the Qingwu Province. She angered the Master of the Qingwu Province, and he directly sent out a group of Green Wolf Soldiers who could ride on clouds and annihilated the entire tribe. Don't you all remember this lesson clearly?"
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone instantly revealed panicked expressions, and the gazes they used to look at Fang Xing were all different.
From the looks of it, it was as if they were worried that Fang Xing was also a concubine who had escaped from an aristocratic family …
"This … Guest, it's not that this old man does not know etiquette …"
The old chief with a missing tooth kept bowing, looking like he was in a difficult position.
"Haha, I was worried that you would not wake up anytime soon, that's why I wanted to stay in this stupid place for the time being. In the end, they really worried about you. This look of his is really annoying. Why don't we just kill this old man and leave?"
The Great Void Baby also looked unhappy. He carefully asked Fang Xing, "How are your injuries now?"
Since Fang Xing had already woken up, he naturally had no problems moving around. Just when he was about to speak, he heard the fat woman looking at the little blind girl with disgust again. She said in disdain, "What a useless blind girl. Not only did you freeload from the tribe, you actually brought an outsider back and even spoke up for him. What a heartless little thing. If it wasn't for the old chief who pitied you, you might have starved to death somewhere. In my opinion, we should chase her out as well. Otherwise, it'll be a waste of food if she stays in the tribe …"
After being scolded, the little blind girl did not dare to speak anymore. She hugged her zither tightly and shrunk her little head.
"Alright, alright. She refused when you wanted to sell the shrimp girl's zither in the city. Do you have to scold her every day?"
Seeing the little blind girl's pitiful look, a man next to her could not stand it anymore and reprimanded the fat woman.
"F * ck your mother's fart. Do I need to talk to her? Am I not thinking about the tribe? A girl's food is not food? Does she eat sh * t instead of rice? Don't look at me, Hu Erlazi. I don't know what you're thinking. You can't marry a woman in your forties and you've gone crazy. I'm telling you, don't mess with me. Do you believe that my ten brothers will beat the sh * t out of you? "
The fat woman was furious. She scolded the man so loudly that he did not dare to say anything. The others did not dare to say anything either.
"Shut up!"
The tribe leader, on the other hand, was furious. He felt that he could no longer maintain his dignity as a tribe leader. He was so angry that he tapped his walking stick on the ground. He glared at the fat woman and shouted, "I told you to let the men follow me. Why are you, a woman, following me? Get out of here! "
"The men in your tribe are all useless. If my ten brothers were here, they would've beaten them out long ago …"
The fat woman was still in awe of the old tribe leader. She walked out while muttering.
"Hehe, I've embarrassed myself in front of you, sir …"
The old tribe leader glared at the woman until she left the dilapidated temple. He then turned to Fang Xing and smiled apologetically.
"Alright …"
Fang Xing raised his hand to stop the old tribe leader from speaking. He smiled and said, "I'm seriously injured now. Old tribe leader, you can't just leave me in the lurch."
"Uh …"
The old tribe leader was stunned. He did not know what to say.
The Great Void Baby was stunned too. He looked at Fang Xing in confusion.
The men behind the old patriarchs all revealed expressions of anger. Some of them even had vicious expressions on their faces.
If these people really wanted to keep Fang Xing here, he would not hesitate to deal with them. However, when he saw that they were determined to chase him away, Fang Xing did not want to leave. He did not want to waste time talking to these people. He smiled faintly and took out a few Immortal Gold dregs. He tossed them up and down in his hand and said with a smile, "I don't know what my son told you. I'm actually a merchant from the other province. I come to the tribe to collect beast crystals and high-quality furs. I met a ferocious beast and it ate my servant. That's why I'm in trouble here. I'm looking for a place to recuperate. Of course, I won't recuperate for nothing. As for the reward, I'll get something …"
"Golden beads …"
When they saw the shining golden beads in Fang Xing's hand, the eyes of the fierce-looking men behind the old tribe leader lit up. As the golden beads were tossed around in Fang Xing's hand, they also moved up and down. They did not move their eyes away for a long time …
"This … this …"
Even the old tribe leader was stunned. After a while, he said, "Only demons who cultivate have those beasts. We can't get them. However, we have quite a lot of furs. We're just waiting for the merchants from the Qingwu Province to collect them. Dear customer, if you don't mind …"
"We're doing business. We have to take both the good and the bad. As long as the price is different!"
Fang Xing interrupted him with a smile.
"Of course, of course. However, the furs in our tribe are all top-notch goods …"
The old tribe leader stammered as he said this.
"That's good. We'll look at them after I've recuperated!"
Fang Xing said lazily. He rubbed his stomach and smiled deliberately. "I'm a little hungry. I'll have to trouble the old tribe leader to send some food over!"
As soon as he said that, a golden bead was flicked over and rolled on the ground.
The old tribe leader hurriedly picked it up and examined it. Seeing that it was real, the wrinkles on his face bloomed. "Oh, oh, alright!"
"Are you hungry? There's food here! "
The person who was carrying the coarse biscuits and salted fish was about to serve the food when the old tribe leader turned around and slapped him. He scolded, "Is this pig's food for the customers? Quick, quick, go and stew the wild boar thigh that we hunted yesterday. There's still a jar of wine under my bed … "
All the people in the temple went out excitedly. In an instant, the temple was empty.
The seemingly unsolvable problem was solved just like that. It was really a little speechless. However, the Great Void Baby obviously did not consider that. He only looked at Fang Xing with a strange expression and said, "What are you thinking? Why are you staying in such a stupid place?"
Fang Xing smiled. "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the place. It's a good chance for me to understand the customs here!"
The Great Void Baby did not comment. He nodded casually. "Up to you. It's just a little noisy!"
"Little Blind Girl, come here!"
Fang Xing turned around and looked at the little blind girl. He waved at her.
The little blind girl hesitated when she heard that. After Fang Xing revealed his wealth and the people in the temple became friendly to him, she seemed to be a little distant. However, the Great Void Baby went over and pulled her over. Fang Xing also sat up and looked at her eyes. He saw that her pupils and whites were normal. She was very beautiful, but there was no spirit in her eyes. He did not know what was wrong with her. After looking at her for a while, he raised his hand gently and placed two fingers on her eyes. He wanted to find out what was wrong with her!
The little blind girl sensed something. Her body trembled slightly and her head tilted back.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, little sister. It won't hurt at all …"
Fang Xing smiled and comforted her. However, the little blind girl became even more afraid after hearing that.
