Chapter 202 – Nefarious people (2/2)

Shao Xuan looked out of the door and saw Mu Qian going back to the Longboat tribe.

“Didn’t you walk her home?” Shao Xuan was puzzled. He found Yan Zhi cared much about her, so he wandered why he didn’t walk her home.

“Walk her home, why?” Not only Yan Zhi, but also Jiao Wu and Yan Zhuo felt puzzled.

Shao Xuan was silent.

“If I send her home, she will get into trouble.” Yan Zhi whispered.

Shao Xuan thought about it. The members of the Longboat tribe could do what the wanderers couldn’t do. No matter how bad the relationship between the people of the Longboat tribe, that was internal conflict and others couldn’t get involved in it, and shouldn’t get involved in it.

Like those who didn’t have awakened totem power and weren’t supported by any powerful people, they were bullied in the tribe. They were beaten and scolded, but most people in the tribe turned their backs on them. But if these people were bullied by others not of the tribe, the men of the Longboat tribe would absolutely intervene, because that would be provoking the entire tribe.

So, even if a person had a low status in the tribe, few people in the wanderer area would dare to bully him.

That was why it was safer for Mu Qian to go home alone.

“Don’t worry. When we come back to the Flaming Horns tribe, no one will dare to badmouth you.” Shao Xuan patted Yan Zhi on the shoulder to comfort him.

“I’ll go out first and tell the others that it will snow.” Yan Zhuo asked Jiao Wu to leave with me.

Yan Zhi intended to go ask someone to trade for some wood.

Yan Zhen went to pack the things in her house.

The two brothers’ house was not too small, so Shao Xuan planned to stay here. There were many things he needed to discuss with them, so he didn’t want to go back and forth.

Before staying there, Shao Xuan had to tell Yang Sui about it, who stayed in the boat.

Out of the door, Shao Xuan paid attention to the surrounding houses.

At least, the Flaming Horns tribesmen were good at building houses. These houses must be built to withstand rain, strong wind in winter, and heavy snow. In contrast, the other houses in the wanderer area were vulnerable. Shao Xuan thought that after he came back, he would help them reinforce their houses.

When he got back to the boat, Yang Sui wasn’t asleep, but vigilant. Seeing Shao Xuan, Yang Sui felt relieved.

“What’s wrong?” Asked Shao Xuan.

Yang Sui was paying attention to the sounds in the surrounding areas as he told Shao Xuan in a low voice, “The ones from that traveling team are nefarious people.”

“That’s fine, I’m going to stay somewhere else.”

“Where can you stay? You found your people?!” Yang Sui asked.

Yang Sui saw Shao Xuan nod and packed his things at once. He drank the remaining hot soup in the pot, wiped his mouth, and said, “I will leave with you... Is there any more space for me there?”

“If not, I can sleep on the ground.”

When Shao Xuan and Yang Sui left the boat, they saw several people walking to where many boats were moored. Shao Xuan remembered that they were the people of the traveling team who stayed in the boat in front of them.

These people were walking to the boat, talking and laughing. After glancing at the clothes of Shao Xuan and Yang Sui, they continued to laugh and walked past them.

Walking past these people, Shao Xuan smelt the strong smell of blood. Although these people weren’t stained with blood, Shao Xuan could smell it.

They had just killed some people.
