Chapter 213 - There is hope (2/2)

“You came back well! You came back well!” The Shaman showed his rare wrinkled laugh.

At this moment, the Shaman did not ask him too much, and he just made eye contact with Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan patted his chest, which was covered by his animal skin coat, and the Shaman got even deeper wrinkles on his face.

The people in the tribe had so many questions to ask Shao Xuan. But it was not the time when Shao Xuan could answer their questions one by one. Shao Xuan greeted Mai, Lang Ga, and the others who were familiar to him. Then he looked at old Ke, who was finally put down by Chacha.

Without saying anything, Shao Xuan gave old Ke a hug.

“Welcome home.” Old Ke said and smiled with his eyes filled with tears.

After greeting the people of the tribe, Shao Xuan did not forget to introduce Yan Zhi and the others, but not in detail. He only said that they lived outside the tribe and had not awakened their power yet.

The Shaman and chief knew that it must be a long story, but now it was not the time to ask him about the details.

Seeing the Shaman and the chief, Yan Zhi and the others looked a little helpless. They were so excited that they did not know what to say. Although Shao told them the etiquette of the tribe, they all forgot it because of the excitement.

The Shaman and the chief saw that, but did not blame them for that.

“Ta, Gui He, you two get them some place to rest. This trip must have been very tiring and they need to have a good rest.” Ao said.

“Yes!”

Shao Xuan said Yan Zhi and the others had not awakened their power, so they were very weak. But the two team leaders did not mind this and told the people to prepare some food for ordinary people. They couldn't eat ferocious beast meat currently for they were not strong enough to eat it.

When Ta and Gui He brought Yan Zhi and the others to the mountain, a warm-hearted aunt jostled and lifted Jiao Wu with one hand, weighed him, and then said with pity, “Not strong enough.”

Jiao Wu: “...”

Finishing her words, the aunt smiled with enthusiasm, patted Jiao Wu’s shoulder, and earnestly said, “Young man, eat more meat!”

Some people around them gave Yan Zhi and the others some food, but the team leaders told them that without awakening their power they couldn't eat some things. That was a pity.

Those who stayed on the shore surrounded the ship moored on the shore.

“Hey, is this a ship?”

“Of course! But it’s better than that one made by us last year.”

A totem warrior did not control his strength well, so he pinched the wooden ship and left a hole in it . Then he quickly stopped doing so.

“It’s good looking, but it’s not strong. We can make a more solid one this.”

“Right.” The people surrounding the ship said and nodded.

Shao Xuan had a brief talk with old Ke and then went up the mountain with the Shaman and the chief. Therefore those who wanted to ask him about the situation outside the tribe had no choice but to temporarily wait for his return.

Shao Xuan followed the Shaman up the mountain and once again came to the stone house of the Shaman, which was familiar to him. He went into the house, poured a glass of water and chugged it. And then with the expectations of the chief and the Shaman, he took out a animal skin bag and took out four rolls from it.

“These two are written by the Shaman and the chief of the Drumming tribe and they are for you. This is the map I drew. That place has seen great changes, and what the ancestors left was already out-dated. But I didn't have enough time, so I wasn’t able to go to all the places. And the last one is a summary of my trip.”

Handing in the four rolls to the Shaman and the chief, Shao Xuan took out some small items he brought back, such as coins, jade, and water moonstones. In terms of the origin and use of these things, he wrote them down in the last roll.

Putting down these things, Shao Xuan did not stay for a long time and went back down the mountain. Such a long sailing trip really consumed a lot of his energy, for he had to protect Yan Zhi and the others. Shao Xuan had felt excited at first but then he felt very tired. He needed to have a good rest tonight, so he would tell them more things the next day.

The Shaman and the chief would discuss about the things he had left for a long time.

After Shao Xuan left, the Shaman and the chief tremblingly picked up the rolls that Shao Xuan gave to them and then looked at them carefully. They looked at the last one first. This was the first time they knew about the situation outside the tribe.

In the evening, the Shaman and the chief asked all the prestigious people in the tribe to gather together in order to discuss the tribe’s migration. In fact, it was not a migration, but a return.
