Chapter 732: Auretin Guards The Well
They had no bricks so Gu ngng had so people retrieve two large stone slates and then directed Elvis and Lea to demonstrate how to cut the stone slates evenly into multiple pieces, before setting them at the mouth of the well.
Lea had seen water wells before at Sauder so he more or less knew how to perform the task. As such, there was no need for Gu ngng to worry.
After settling everything, the problem of water shortage no longer existed in Saint Nazaire.
The atmosphere of the whole tribe was energized with the success of the water well.
The days passed and the resolution of Saint Nazaire’s water shortage issue slowly morphed into the eye of a storm.
Envy and jealousy spread uncontrollably. From small scuffles over discreet stealing of water to wanton robbing in broad daylight.
Yes, Saint Nazaire had Elvis and Lea holding the fort, and there was also Auretin and Ian standing guard. But so as to not let their own females suffer, so what if they had to die for it?
The area beside the well had turned barren as thick blood perated the earth. If not for the taste of blood Gu ngng detected in the water she drank, she might never know about the conflict caused by that well.
When Gu ngng led Elvis and Lea to the well, soone from goodness-knows-which tribe was just fighting with Auretin.
The opponent was obviously not a match for Auretin and had already been restrained on the ground by Auretin’s foot.
Just one strike and the opponent would be disemboweled on the spot.
“Stop.” Gu ngng frowned as she walked over.
Seeing soone approaching, Auretin halted and morphed back before walking to Gu ngng’s side. He carried out his bodyguard role very professionally.
That person had been beaten into a daze and could no longer see clearly. He remained stunned for a long while before flipping over and crawling on the ground with fear and trepidation.
Gu ngng was sowhat astounded. Earlier, that person was still looking resolute despite the beating by Auretin. Why had his deanor suddenly changed?
Could it be Snake’s domineering air had leaked out of her again?
“ssenger... the great ssenger... I just wish to let the female in my family have so water... I deserve to die for offending the great ssenger. Please don’t be angry at Shage. Just punish . Please!”
Gu ngng chuckled, feeling exasperated.
The only thing that could strike fear in these tough males was their own females.
Gu ngng walked to the side of the well and looked in. The water level still looked about the sa.
This well was obviously drawing from an underground stream and probably had an infinite supply. There was absolutely no need to fight over it like that.
However, the well was located within Saint Nazaire. If they allowed others to enter to retrieve the water, it would beco a matter of territorial rights. Elvis and Lea had fought tooth and nail for Saint Nazaire. Even if she could not expand the territory, there was no reason for her to allow others in. With this thought, Gu ngng looked down at the cowering male. “Does your tribe have a witch doctor?”
The male shivered, thinking perhaps he was going to be sacrificed to the heavens as a punishnt. Never mind, as long he didn’t drag Shage down with him.
Gritting his teeth, he nodded. “Great ssenger, our tribe... has a witch doctor.”
Gu ngng gave a light “mmm” before saying, “From now on, this well will be opened to the public every afternoon at a designated ti. Just have your witch doctor co over to collect.”
