Chapter 210 (1/2)
Shocked, Are You A Fake Nan Xun?
Chuxue carried a large bag wrapped in animal skin. She winked at Nan Xun, then they immediately lowered her voice and whispered, “A’Xi, these things are from your cave. Since your cave would be given to someone else, I collected all your things in advance. Nothing should be missing.”
Then she asked something she wasn’t sure about. “A’Xi, I saw that man’s animal skin skirt. Is that man the Patriarch of the cannibal tribe? Did you say your sweetheart was also…”
Chuxue didn’t directly say it, but glanced at A’Mang in the distance.
Nan Xun nodded. “Chuxue, help me keep it a secret oh.”
“It’s actually true!” Chuxue was a little shocked. “Doesn’t that mean this man was being deliberate at that time? His real goal was you!”
Nan Xun laughed ‘hehe’ and said, “That’s right.”
Nan Xun gave Chuxue a big bear hug. “I won’t come back from now on. You and A’Yu have a good life and have a baby early, then let me be recognized as godmother.”
They both spoke their own language, Mandarin, so they weren’t afraid of being overheard.
Chuxue stared at her angrily. “You give birth yourself.”
Nan Xun and A’Mang left along with the heavy pack Chuxue brought.
Chuxue looked at Nan Xun’s back, and couldn’t help but sob in A’Yu’s arms.
She thought that she would probably never meet another older sister like A’Xi again.
On the way back, A’Mang seemed to realize that Nan Xun’s mood was down. He didn’t speak, but accompanied her in silence.
“A’Mang.” Nan Xun suddenly called him, “You will be my only relative in the future.”
A’Mang squeezed her hand tightly and came closer to kiss her face. “A’Xi, I will always be good to you.”
When they returned to the cannibal clan a few days later, Nan Xun thought that this was where she lived from now on, so she couldn’t help but feel optimistic. When she said goodbye to Chuxue, she asked her if she could introduce pottery, salt, and bamboo baskets to the cannibal tribe. Chuxue agreed with a smile and only stipulated, except for weapons and traps.
While the men went hunting during the day, Nan Xun took the women from the tribe to find new bamboo groves and rock salt, then taught them to pick some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes.
There were many skilled craftsmen in the tribe. After finding bamboo, she didn’t personally show them, and instead roughly explained the shape of the bamboo basket and back backset. Then some clever people made them.
After discovering the new clay, Nan Xun asked some adolescent boys from the tribe to dig it up together.
These ten-year-old boys were competitive and energetic, but according to the tribe’s rules, they had to be be at least 12 years old before they could go hunt. They usually stayed in the tribe and felt restless.
Nan Xun found something for them to do: dig clay and build a kiln.
The women followed Nan Xun to make pottery. The clay was molded into bowls and pots, then baked in the kilns built by the children.
A group of people, young and old, waited eagerly for the finished product to come out of the kiln. Except for a few bowls that were cracked, the others turned out well.
