Chapter 639 We Don’t Really Want You Here (1/2)
Although Shao Xuan and the others saved Bo Luo-even if Chacha captured the person after saving him- it still counted as saving his life, but the Gu tribespeople were acting strange. It was as if they desperately wanted Shao Xuan and the others to leave.
Shao Xuan could understand if it was their discrimination towards foreign tribes, especially tribes that were stronger than them. It would make them raise their guards, but Shao Xuan felt that there was something else besides all these reasons.
Even so, the people of the Gu tribe also welcomed Shao Xuan’s group to their living headquarters. After all, they were the guests and even saved one of them. They didn’t need to draw such clear boundaries so soon. The Gu tribe didn’t want to fall out with the Flaming Horn tribe.
The people of the Gu tribe were extremely cautious with Shao Xuan’s group. Bo Gu knew more about the Flaming Horn tribe because he had been to the trading point, so he was a little nervous when he saw Shao Xuan.
Most of the Gu tribespeople wore linen clothing, and they were done quite fashionably. Some even had intricate designs. They probably made these clothes themselves, and they were as good as the Rain tribe. But on their linen clothing, there were also other tightly knitted tassel-like linen fibres attached. All of the Gu tribespeople were used to this fashion and didn’t feel at all troubled by the extra tassels on their clothing.
When Bo Luo was brought onto their ship, his clothing was already tattered, so the linen fibres were not obvious, but seeing so many people of the Gu tribe now, they could finally see the overall characteristics of their tribe.
Seeing Shao Xuan’s curiosity in the linen tassels, Bo Gu explained, “The Gu tribe is skilled in making nets, so we bring out nets with us wherever we go. Sometimes when the nets break during a hunt, we can use these to repair them.”
“I see.” With Bo Gu’s explanation, Shao Xuan finally understood.
Different nets were made from ropes with different thicknesses, so the Gu tribespeople always brought along the original materials to fix the nets with the same types of fibre right away. No wonder all of them had different kinds of fibre tassels. It’s probably because the materials used to make the nets were not all the same. These tassels could be seen as a fashion accessory but were also very useful.
Shao Xuan and the others didn’t feel that anything was wrong, but some people in the Gu tribe looked at them with strange glances.
Who was Bo Gu?
The current chief of the Gu tribe!
Even though the chief could not be compared to the shaman in the Gu tribe, he was still chief. Bo Gu rarely initiated any social interactions with any foreign tribes, much less tried to explain anything. Before, Bo Gu had always been rude to other foreign tribes, but he was different today. Something was strange about his behaviour.
When they led Shao Xuan’s group into their tribe, the people who came back with Bo Gu from the trading point had just been woken up by all the commotion. When they went out to look and saw Shao Xuan’s group, they were at first astonished and rubbed their eyes, thinking they were still not awake. After they confirmed that it was real, they also hurried over and looked at Shao Xuan from time to time with great interest.
“Do you guys know me?” Shao Xuan asked suddenly.
Bo Gu, who was thinking about how he should welcome the Flaming Horn people, looked over and saw what was going on. He didn’t try to hide anything. “We just came back from the trading point and we saw you there, Flaming Horn Grand Elder.”
The Gu shaman, who was squeezed in the middle of the group, looked fiercely at Shao Xuan. Other Gu people seemed not to have understood anything. They looked at Shao Xuan, then at Bo Gu, then back at Shao Xuan.
Grand Elder?
This brat?
Bo Gu, you’re not mistaken, right?
Bo Luo, who had just been hit by his father, also suddenly forgot about his injuries. “What? He’s the Grand Elder?”
