Chapter 483: Tu Mao Search for Kin
Han Cheng scolded for a while, then changed his tone: “It was correct to capture the enemies; that is comndable. However, acting recklessly despite previous warnings will be punished.”
“After so ti, all of you will be punished—run ten laps around our farmland!”
Upon hearing the Divine Child’s reprimand and the punishnt, the group felt a sense of relief. So were indifferent, but Eldest Senior Brother and the others felt a pang of fear.
As Eldest Senior Brother had said, if the people in the forest had been more nurous and they had recklessly rushed in without any reconnaissance, the consequences could have been severe.
From their previous deductions, they knew that the evil tribe had a large population. It was very likely that there were many people inside.
“Divine Child, I was wrong. I will run twenty laps…”
The Eldest Senior Brother ca to Han Cheng in the courtyard and said sincerely.
Han Cheng was delighted with Eldest Senior Brother’s response. The tribe's safety was paramount, and one could not be careless.
“A slight mistake could cost lives.”
“Hmm, be more careful next ti.”
Han Cheng patted the Eldest Senior Brother’s shoulder and said, “Let’s see these captives.”
The forr leader of the Donkey Tribe, now known as Mao, was highly agitated. His eyes were red with anger as he glared at the injured and trembling captives bound together.
If not for the restraint of others, he would have already killed all four of them.
He had already killed one in the woods. Initially, all five could have been captured alive, but that person was viciously attacked by Mao, who, like a beast, had bitten his neck open.
“Divine Child…”
He could now speak a few simple phrases in Mandarin. Seeing Han Cheng approach, he hurried forward, wanting to kill the remaining captives to avenge his tribe.
The captives, shivering in fear, were terrified of being killed and eaten by this tribe.
Despite their previous fierceness, they had only acted that way because of the presence of their tribe mbers. Once separated from their tribe, they beca ek.
This was similar to piranhas; while a group of them is fearso, an individual piranha is much less so when isolated.
Han Cheng nodded and refused Mao’s suggestion: “No killing. We still need to obtain information from these evil tribe mbers.”
After Mao understood Han Cheng’s aning, he ceased insisting and had the Eldest Senior Brother attempt to question the captives. When Eldest Senior Brother saw their terrified and confused responses, he realized they didn’t understand his questions.
After waiting a while, Han Cheng had people call Ru Hua, Left La, and Right La.
He wanted to use them to confirm if these captives were from the tribe that had attacked them previously.
Before Ru Hua and the others arrived, Shang, who was standing with his weapon and also glaring at the four captives, looked at the captive’s pierced calf and showed a thoughtful expression.
After observing for a while, he finally spoke tentatively.
The terrified captive, Tu Mao, looked up in surprise when he heard the voice, glanced at Shang with confusion, and then quickly looked down again.
Inside, Tu Mao was filled with doubt. It had been a long ti since he heard his original tribe’s language, and he was surprised to hear soone speaking it here.
“！”
Seeing Tu Mao’s reaction, Shang felt a surge of joy. His voice trembled with excitent as he called out again with increased volu.
In his panic, Tu Mao looked up again at the strange person. After a while, he showed signs of confusion, feeling that the person looked familiar but unable to recall where he had seen him before.
“￥……”
Shang had already confird Tu Mao's identity as one of the people captured from their tribe!
He threw away his weapon, crouched down, and grabbed Tu Mao’s shoulders, shaking him vigorously with great excitent. While shaking him, he spoke in the less-developed language of his forr tribe.
Tu Mao, whose face had gone pale, gradually showed less fear in his eyes.
“￥……”
As Tu Mao began to understand Shang’s words, his expression beca excited. He hadn't expected to encounter his forr leader in such a strange tribe at such a mont!
“≈ap;……”
Shang eagerly asked Tu Mao how many people from their tribe were still alive. Tu Mao drew three curved vertical lines in the dirt with his finger.
Shang felt a mix of joy and sadness. After a while, he rembered other matters and quickly began to explain to Han Cheng and the others.
From Shang’s earlier reaction, Han Cheng had already guessed what had happened. Hearing Shang’s confirmation now, Han Cheng smiled and congratulated Shang.
Han Cheng was in a good mood for several reasons: first, Shang had reunited with his forr tribesn today; second, this reunion proved that the evil tribe they were dealing with now was the sa one that had appeared years ago. This ant that his initial assumption of two hostile tribes had turned into one, which was a relief. Third, with the presence of Shang’s forr tribesn, they could gain more information about the evil tribe.
They could also get so information from Ru Hua and the others, but since they had been away from that tribe for several years, they didn’t know the tribe's recent developnts.
“Divine Child, he…”
Shang pointed at Tu Mao, indicating that Tu Mao should be released and treated as soon as possible.
Han Cheng agreed. This person was valuable to their tribe and couldn’t be allowed to die just like that. In consideration of Shang, Han Cheng announced that if Tu Mao was willing to join the Green Sparrow Tribe, he could beco a Level 2 citizen with a wooden identity card.
When Tu Mao realized that he didn’t have to die and could survive in this tribe, he was overwheld with relief and began to cry. He expressed his gratitude to Han Cheng in a torrent of words.
Han Cheng waved his hand, telling Shang to take Tu Mao to Liang for treatnt.
The other three captives, seeing their ropes being untied and realizing they wouldn’t be killed, imdiately pleaded for rcy and lay prostrate on the ground.
“Divine Child, kill them!”
“Divine Child, don’t let them live with us…”
“Divine Child, they are all evil…”
The elders of the Green Sparrow Tribe were alard at Tu Mao’s release and the three captives’ pleas for rcy. They were afraid Han Cheng might soften and keep the remaining three.
Such people who intended to attack their tribe were not welco at all!
Even Shaman did not want to keep the remaining three captives.
