Chapter 224 (2/2)
Big Grey was equivalent to an airplane in ancient times. The feeling of soaring in the air with Big Grey was very refreshing.
Nan Xun didn’t hear A’Mang speak the entire time, so she couldn’t help but turn around and look at him. Seeing him, she burst into a fit of laughter. A’Mang’s whole body was tense and his legs were tightly sandwiched against the big grey bird’s body. He looked at his feet. He was obviously nervous, but his eyes revealed a trace of excitement.
Nan Xun bent the corner of her mouth and said three words in her heart: country bumpkin.2
Big Grey soon arrived at the cannibal tribe.
When a great gray eagle-like bird landed in the tribe, the tribe’s expression was alert. The men who weren’t ill immediately raised their spears and pointed them at the big bird that might harm the tribe.
But the next moment, they froze.
That big bird had two people on its back!
When Nan Xun and A’Mang jumped off from the bird’s back, the tribe suddenly recovered, and stared at them in horror.
When they learned their Patriarch had taken people to encircle and exterminate A’Mang and the witch, they had already anticipated the tragic deaths of these two people. Although their moods were a little complicated, they didn’t stop them.
But no one could have imagined this result. A’Mang and A’Xi weren’t dead!
If they weren’t dead, what about the people who were agitated to kill them for the clan?
Nan Xun didn’t explain anything to them. She hurriedly went to look at the tribe’s situation.
The tribe’s situation was even worse than Nan Xun had imagined. The tribe initially had over a hundred people, but now there were less than fifty who were still alive. Among them, more than 20 were seriously ill and would die soon.
The dead bodies were directly buried in the open space behind the tribe, and the sick weren’t quarantined from the healthy.
“A’Mang, those who die must be burned. Otherwise, the disease will spread to the animals in the jungle. Then the whole jungle will be finished,” Nan Xun firmly said and looked at A’Mang.
A’Mang didn’t ask any questions and directly went to gather the tribe…to dig graves.
When the tribe heard his request, their expressions crumpled into shock.
Dig graves? A’Mang actually wants to dig graves with this woman!
How can they do this? Those were their people ah!
Nan Xun watched them stare at them with resentment and spread out her hands expressionlessly. “If you won’t dig the graves and burn the bodies, you will die with them. It’s up to you to choose whether you want to die or dig the graves.”
Little Eight went tut tut and said, “Dear da, you’re so bad oh.”
The clan was suspicious of Nan Xun’s words and one of them boldly asked, “If we burn their bodies, can we survive? What about those who are sick?”
Nan Xun’s face didn’t change and she replied, “Of course you will live as long as you listen to me. As for the sick, they need to be gathered and isolated from others.”
After the tribe struggled for a while, they followed A’Mang to dig the graves and piled all the bodies together.
Before they could pile together firewood, Big Grey spewed out fire which frightened the tribe.
Birds that can, can breathe fire? They had never seen that before!
The people who died from the plague were burned into ashes, while those who were alive but sick were temporarily isolated in one area.
Those quarantined people glared at Nan Xun with resentment. They thought that it was because of A’Xi’s words that they were abandoned by their clan. A’Xi retaliated against them for trying to set her on fire before!
Little Eight angrily said, “Those ignorant primitive people! You help them but they actually still blame you! Dear da, why aren’t you angry ah!”
Nan Xun casually replied, “Why should I be angry? Who are they?”3
