Chapter 190 Serpent Spirit Squad

Two years ago?

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Chi Donglin.

Before Chi Donglin could speak, Pei Jiuyan had already realized what was happening.

"You mean that landslide?"

Chi Donglin nodded.

Two years ago, also in October, but the weather was much cooler and there was less rain. Pei Jiuyan and his team led two groups out for wilderness training as usual. It was their first time training in the wild forest.

It had just rained during the day, and they were all quite tired from training with heavy loads in the rain. They slept very soundly in their tents that night.

But around midnight, a very piercing flute sound suddenly rang out outside. As if by magic, the pricking sound forced its way into the ears of the sleeping people. Moreover, the sound became more and more urgent and shrill, forcibly waking them from their sleep.

Everyone found it very strange. How could such a sound come from the wilderness in the middle of the night?

They were all young men in their teens and twenties, full of enthusiasm, and immediately stopped sleeping, determined to find out the "bad guy" who was disturbing their peaceful dreams.

But when everyone got up and started searching around the forest, they couldn't find anyone. A little while later, the mountain behind their camp suddenly made two loud "booms" and then countless rocks rolled down the mountain. In less than two minutes, the place where they had set up camp was buried in rocks and soil, forming a small hill.

If they were still sleeping, at least half of them would be killed or injured, if not killed.

Everyone suddenly realized that the sound of the flute was meant to save them!

Unfortunately, they couldn't find their benefactor, even after searching for a long time that night.

That night, Chi Donglin was on duty with his men. By the dim candlelight, he vaguely saw Parman's figure, but it wasn't clear.

Seeing Parman in person now, he was immediately certain that it was him!

The benefactor who saved their two regiments of brothers in the wilderness two years ago is Parman!

Parman was also somewhat surprised. He had only been traveling with Zu Ling and Nuwa when he unexpectedly discovered signs of a landslide. There were very few people camping nearby, so he kindly reminded them. He never expected that he would be the one to save them.

Actually, it's not fair to blame Pei Jiuyan and the others for being careless. Paman and his family have lived in the wilderness for generations and know much more about every plant, tree, mountain, and creature in the wilderness than others. But at the time, Paman didn't notice any signs of a landslide either, because landslides are indeed rare in the wilderness in previous years.

It was the ancestral spirits who discovered it first.

Animals are much more sensitive to changes in nature than humans. It was only because the ancestral spirit sensed something was wrong and gave him a warning that he was able to alert Pei Jiuyan and the others in time.

"Oh, it's you, brother! Look what happened! We're all family! It's a good thing you were there, otherwise our two regiments, more than four thousand people, would have suffered heavy casualties!"

Song Yunlai also remembered this incident. At that time, he and Chi Donglin had just been promoted to battalion commanders. If something had happened, they would definitely have been demoted. Not to mention that, the key issue was that it would affect the health of the brothers. The rocks were large and numerous. If they fell, not only would many brothers be lost, but many brothers would also have their military careers cut short if they were injured!

Parman waved his hand: "It's not my achievement, it's the ancestral spirit's achievement. It was it that discovered and reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to detect the landslide in advance."

"An ancestral spirit?" Qin Suisui's eyes lit up: "Next time I see it, I must reward it properly. It's truly a good snake!"

Qin Suisui turned around again and introduced the identities of the Ancestral Spirit and Nuwa to Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai, and the two of them finally understood.

"With this, it will be a great achievement for our senior brothers to move out. The organization might even give them a reward!" Song Yunlai and the others were also very happy to hear that the Snake Witch Tribe wanted to move out.

Pei Jiuyan nodded: "I will personally accompany my senior brother to talk tomorrow."

Qin Suisui listened to these men in their twenties calling him "senior brother" so naturally. Paman was actually two years younger than them, only 21 this year. How could they be so shameless? Yet Paman didn't seem to notice anything amiss, probably enjoying being called the senior brother!

The family ate, drank, and chatted until late at night. Chi Donglin and his friends missed the dormitory curfew and couldn't go back, so they had to sleep on the floor in Qin Suisui's living room. Of course, the guest room was given to Paman.

The next morning, after breakfast, Paman went directly to the office with Pei Jiuyan and the other two.

Zan Zan looked at Qin Sui Sui and whispered, "Mom, will Senior Brother be living with us from now on?"

Qin Suisui couldn't help but chuckle: "That's Mom's senior brother, you should call him Uncle. Uncle will be staying with us temporarily for the next few days, and he'll go back to his own home after he's moved out. What's wrong? Don't you like Uncle?"

Zan Zan shook his head: "No, I'm afraid of big snakes."

Qin Suisui immediately understood. The little guy had seen Parman the first time he went to the Wild Forest with them, and he had also seen Parman control the snake. He was probably frightened. No wonder the little guy had been unusually quiet since yesterday.

"Don't worry, Zan Zan. Uncle didn't bring any snakes this time. Besides, that big snake was a good snake. You heard it yesterday, didn't you? It saved Dad and many uncles. If it weren't for that big snake, Dad and the uncles might have gotten hurt."

Zan Zan immediately raised her head: "Yes! Mom is right! There are good and bad people, and there are good and bad snakes too. I can't think it's a bad snake just because I'm scared! It's a good snake! A heroic snake! Next time I see it, I'll apologize to it properly!"

Children are like that; their minds are so simple. After Qin Suisui comforted them, they were not only no longer afraid, but they also viewed the ancestral spirit with a "heroic" filter.

When he came home from school in the evening and saw that Paman was at home, the little guy didn't just watch from afar like he did yesterday. Instead, encouraged by Qin Suisui's gaze, he took the initiative to go up to Paman and handed him a piece of his milk candy: "Hello, Uncle, I'm Zan Zan. Next time you bring Zu Ling out, can I be friends with it?"

Parman was stunned for a moment before awkwardly accepting the candy: "Okay, it's a gift for you. I'll make it up to you next time."

In their tribe, although Paman is relatively young, he is of high seniority, so he has to prepare gifts for the "younger generation" every year during festivals. Some of these "younger generation" are even older than him.

Moreover, because he always had a cold face, the children in the tribe were afraid to get close to him, let alone a child like Zan Zan who took the initiative to get close to him, gave him candy, and said he wanted to be friends with his snake.

He didn't dare to answer for a moment.

However, when he thought that this was Qin Suisui's child, he immediately remembered what he should do as an "elder," which was to prepare a gift for the "younger generation."

Chi Donglin and Song Yunlai came again when they were having dinner that evening.

Because of their collaboration with Parman to persuade Commander Jia, the group's relationship became even closer.

The outcome of today's negotiations with Commander Jia was actually within their expectations, because the organization now welcomes their return. Moreover, the Wild Forest is very barren and sparsely populated. If the Snake Witch Tribe is willing to relocate there, they can clear the land and cultivate crops themselves, which is a good thing.

Of course, the premise is that they must obey the organization's leadership.

Paron and Paman had been mentally prepared for this before they even came to the military region. Fortunately, they had a certain degree of autonomy within their own tribe, which was already quite good.

Commander Jia reported the matter to his superiors, and the results came down the next day.

That morning, Pei Jiuyan and Chi Donglin, along with a few of their men, went to the wilderness forest with Paman to select a site. This was official business, and Qin Suisui couldn't participate, so she naturally didn't go.

However, the next afternoon, Pei Jiuyan and the others returned and told him that the location they had finally chosen was excellent. It was flat, had a convenient water source, was a certain distance from the mountains, and was relatively safe. Moreover, it avoided the areas frequented by herb gatherers, still offering some privacy. Most importantly, it was only about half an hour's walk from the exit of the wilderness forest, making it extremely convenient.

After selecting the site that day, Paman set off back to the Snake Witch tribe. He wanted to tell the tribespeople about the matter as soon as possible and organize the relocation as soon as possible.

The organization will also send people over starting tomorrow to help build houses. If all goes well, they should be able to settle down within a month.

After Jia Zhenzhen learned that Paman and his family were moving out, she came to see Qin Suisui several times, implying that she wanted Qin Suisui to take her along to help with the move.

At first, Qin Suisui didn't notice anything, but after a while, if she still couldn't see it, she would be a complete idiot.

"Zhenzhen, have you taken a liking to my senior brother?"

Jia Zhenzhen blushed, but didn't deny it: "Not really... I just think he's a lot like the heroes in martial arts novels, and I admire him a bit..."

Qin Suisui chuckled to herself, "Alright then, when they move, you can come with me, spend more time together, and then confirm your feelings."

On November 10th, with the help of soldiers, the entire Snake Witch tribe, along with their families, arrived at the edge of the wild forest from the deep mountains, more than ten days earlier than expected.

The houses at their new location are basically finished, but there are some minor details that they need to do themselves.

Qin Suisui and Jia Zhenzhen, along with the elderly Huang Weimin, waited at the entrance of the "Snake Spirit Brigade" for the arrival of the main force.

That's right, "Snake Spirit Brigade" is the new name of the Snake Witch Tribe. It was personally chosen by Paman, who said that it had been divined and approved by the Snake Spirit, making it very auspicious.

During this time, after Paman returned to the tribe to report the news, he led dozens of young tribesmen to build houses with the soldiers. He gradually became familiar with everyone and had long since lost the restraint he had when he first came out.

Huang Weimin and his younger brother Palon met again after decades. Instead of the scene Qin Suisui had imagined, where the two brothers hugged each other and expressed their longing, one sat in a wooden wheelchair and the other stood there, pointing at each other and muttering to themselves. Before long, they were both blushing.
