Chapter 209 (2/2)

When he passed through the fern grass, A’Mang suddenly stopped and stared fixedly at Nan Xun with a scorching gaze.

Nan Xun: !

A’Mang moved the vegetation with one hand, and tightly held Nan Xun with the other. He pulled her toward the dense deep fern grass.

After he took a few steps, he picked up Nan Xun and laid her on the grass. Without saying a word, he pressed her down.

“A’Mang!” Nan Xun screamed nervously.

A’Mang leaned over and blocked her mouth, eager to continue.

The night wind was a little chilly, but the temperature in the grass rose until it was boiling hot.

Nan Xun suddenly understood why A’Mang stopped himself when they were in the river. He was afraid that she would catch a cold if she stayed in the water for too long.

Contrary to modern times, a long-lasting cold could kill a person.

Nan Xun was toyed with horizontally and vertically, and held by A’Mang the entire time.

The bath I took before was in vain, now I’m covered with sweat and fluid.

When she was dizzy, it seemed that someone wiped her body with a wet animal skin. When he asked her to lift her arm, she would lift her arm. If he asked her to lift her leg, she would lift her leg. She cooperated very well.

……

After spending ten days in the cannibal tribe, Nan Xun became familiar with it. Then, she asked A’Mang about returning to her tribe.

A’Mang readily agreed, but several warriors in the tribe didn’t. However, A’Mang’s attitude was very firm, so those people didn’t say much. For the next few days while A’Mang was away, the tribe was temporarily handed over to A’Bao to lead.

A’Mang didn’t bring anything except for the stone tipped spear, and accompanied Nan Xun to visit her family.

Nan Xun originally wanted to remind A’Mang to bring some gifts, but when she thought of A’Mang’s 20 animal skins, she was suddenly distressed for her man and didn’t say anything.1

As they got closer to the tribe, Nan Xun’s mood wasn’t as happy as she imagined.

Sure enough, her and A’Mang’s arrival wasn’t welcomed by the people.

Based on her deduction, women were high quality goods. She was exchanged to another tribe, so she was a member of that tribe now. She could no longer be involved with her previous tribe.

The old Patriarch didn’t even see A’Xi’s face. Only A’Shi, A’Yu, and Chuxue came out to see her.2

“Younger sister, elder brother is sorry. At that time, if I didn’t agree to the cannibals, it would probably be…” A’Shi looked guilty. When it came to resentment, he glared fiercely at A’Mang, who was waiting under a big tree in the distance.

Nan Xun quickly said, “Elder brother, A’Mang is very good to me. The cannibals aren’t as cruel as everyone thinks. They treat me well.”

A’Shi sighed and patted her on the shoulder, “A’Xi, live a good life with the cannibal tribe.” Then he slightly paused and lowered his voice. “After today, don’t come back.”

Nan Xun reluctantly tugged the corner of her mouth. “I understand. In fact, I came to see you and A’DA but didn’t expect that A’Da would refuse to see me.”

A’Shi explained, “A’Da is the Patriarch after all. His attitude represents the attitude of the entire tribe. It’s not convenient to see you, but in fact, A’Da misses you very much.”

Nan Xun nodded and didn’t want to continue the topic.

Although she knew interpersonal relationships in ancient times weren’t as deep as in modern times, they were too cold and thin, chilling her heart.
