Chapter 475
“Great young master, please do not be angry. Our Linhai tribe was attacked by a monster a few days ago, which is why we have been so disrespectful to you.”
At this moment, the old man hurriedly came down from above the main gate of the village. After leading a group of clansmen out, he was the first to apologize to Chen Xuan.
They were afraid that Chen Xuan would take his anger out on the entire village.
Chen Xuan simply nodded without saying anything more. Soon, led by the elder in charge, Chen Xuan entered this small tribe with only a hundred people.
"Why is the entire tribe full of women and elderly people? Where are the men?"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's question, the old man's eyes dimmed, and some of the women and children behind him even had tears welling up in their eyes.
"Alas, a month ago, our Linhai tribe was attacked by a monster, and many people died. After that, the tribe barely managed to survive. Three days ago, the few able-bodied men organized a hunting team to go hunting in Zelinhai. Alas, they haven't returned yet."
As the old man spoke, all the people of the Lin Hai tribe lowered their heads and remained silent. They knew that hunting teams usually returned within three days of leaving the tribe to hunt, but this time three days had passed and no one had returned. According to the rules of this land, it was likely that they were in grave danger.
"Enter Zelin Sea? Don't you know there are many demonic beasts inside?" Chen Xuan asked the old man with a puzzled look.
"Of course we know, but there's nothing we can do. The tribe members have to go out hunting to eat, and the rest of the hunting grounds have been taken over by other, more powerful tribes. We can only try to survive in the cracks."
Chen Xuan frowned. Based on his experience with the Jiang family, most tribes that were too small would merge into a tribe of a few hundred people to live together. However, the Lin Hai tribe in front of him was somewhat strange.
Seemingly sensing Chen Xuan's doubts, the old man sighed, "We dream of joining other tribes, but unfortunately, our tribe already had an imbalance in population distribution, with too many women and children and too few able-bodied men. Their condition is that if we want to join their tribe, we have to give up some of our elderly and weak members. We refused, so we have been constantly suppressed by them."
Some members of the Linhai tribe couldn't help but cry when this was mentioned.
Chen Xuan shook his head and sighed. Indeed, life at the bottom of this world is especially difficult.
Because Chen Xuan had given the tribe a considerable amount of gold, he was now regarded as a distinguished guest by the entire small tribe.
Not only was he arranged to live in the best house in the entire tribe, but when the tribespeople left, the old man even specially selected two relatively good-looking, well-developed young girls from the tribe to stay in Chen Xuan's room.
The two girls, about thirteen or fourteen years old, were dressed in animal skin clothing. Their youthful faces suggested that this was their first time experiencing such a thing. They were both nervous and expectant in front of Chen Xuan, such a handsome and noble young master.
In the minds of girls from the lower rungs of society, men of this age are already looking for their future husbands due to traditional influences.
Chen Xuan felt somewhat helpless about the two girls in animal skins who were left behind.
"Big brother, my name is Qingye, I am fifteen years old, this is my sister Qingcao, she is fourteen years old."
When her older sister Qingye saw Chen Xuan's gaze, she blushed and introduced herself while fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
Seeing the two girls' attitude, Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Do you know why you stayed?"
Qingye and Qingcao shook their heads, and then Qingye whispered, "Grandpa Clan Chief said that we should obey Young Master's orders."
"Grandpa Clan Chief also said that we should serve the young master well," Qingcao echoed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head and smiled wryly.
"Well, since we've arranged for you to stay here, go outside and tell your people to roast this scaled lion."
Chen Xuan turned his hand and took out the Eight Treasures Box from the carcass of the scaled lion he had hunted earlier.
The two young girls, who had never seen a scaled lion so close before, were so frightened that they turned pale and hugged each other tightly.
Fortunately, the older sister, Qingye, quickly realized that the wild beast on the ground seemed to be dead. She immediately swallowed hard and threw the beast out of the dwelling to call the tribespeople in.
"Meat, meat."
Qingye also realized what was happening, and when she looked at Chen Xuan, she was filled with admiration. She didn't seem to feel any of the rejection she felt towards becoming a stranger tonight.
