Chapter 673: The Ancient Wushan Clan
Wangyou frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't remember anything. He was so anxious that he slapped his head with his hand.
He knew that the person his wife wanted to save was in Wushan and urgently needed a guide, but he could not remember anything. He was really useless.
Sanbao stopped him and whispered, "Wangyou, if you can't remember, forget it. I don't blame you."
Wangyou looked at her with guilt on his face.
"Mother has other solutions, don't blame yourself." Sanbao said with a smile.
Tang Li nodded and looked at the hunter: "It is said that there are many ancient tribes living in Wushan. You have been hunting for so many years, have you ever seen anyone from the ancient tribe?"
The hunter looked serious, as if he had thought of something.
"My benefactor, this is a long story. It's freezing cold, so please come to my house and rest for a while. I'll tell you everything. My last name is Wang, and I'm the second child in the family. You can just call me Wang Er."
The north wind is howling and it is really too cold to stand here.
Tang Li nodded, and the group followed Wang Er to his home.
After a while, there was a ray of hope. There was actually a small village hidden at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Er said that the village was called Wangjia Village, with more than 20 households, all of whom made a living by hunting.
Wang Er's house was quite spacious, with three rooms surrounding a courtyard. Wang Er took them into one of the rooms and brought out benches for them to sit on.
A woman came over with a little girl of about seventeen or eight years old, looking inside with some confusion.
This woman and child were Wang Er's daughter-in-law and daughter.
Wang Er walked out and said something to the woman. The woman looked at Tang Li and the others with a look of gratitude in her eyes.
"Go and boil some hot water, then take out the meat I processed yesterday and make a meal." Wang Erdao.
The woman hurried away.
Wang Er returned to the room and continued what he had just said.
"My benefactor, I may have actually seen the ancient tribe you mentioned," Wang Er said. "In fact, there is a group of people in this mountain who specialize in hunting. Once, I saw a few people capture a child of seven or eight and put the child in a cage. Another time, I saw the same people capture a child of thirteen or fourteen. The child was very strong and beat several of the captors to death. The child was also taken away, dying."
Tang Li now understood why there were so many Wushan slaves on the market. It seemed that this had become an industry.
There were people who specifically entered Wushan to hunt the people there and then sell them as Wushan slaves.
After all, Wushan slaves are rare, expensive, and come with huge profits.
This has led to the emergence of a profit chain in which people are treated as commodities.
From ancient times to the present, many people can lose their humanity for money!
Wangyou may have experienced something like this.
"My eldest brother encountered this, too. About ten years ago, he saw many people wearing ancient tribe clothing chasing another ancient tribe member, who was holding a baby in his arms. That was probably the most ancient tribe members we've ever seen in the outside villages, and they were chasing our own people." Wang Er became interested and asked, "Benefactor, what do you think of the ancient tribe? Do they live like us in the outside villages?"
No one could answer him.
Tangli's knowledge of the ancient tribe is just some legends.
Just then, Wang Er's wife came in with a pot of hot water, gave each person a bowl, and poured hot water to drink.
"Sister-in-law, could you please boil a pot of hot water and put it outside the door?" Tang Li said.
It was freezing cold, and the secret guards were still hiding, without a single hot bite to eat. Yesterday, Tang Li had deliberately requested two extra rooms just for them to rest.
Secret guards have their own rules and are not allowed to show up in public unless necessary.
Otherwise, Tangli really wanted them to eat and live together.
Wang Er's wife was a little confused.
"Go and fight quickly, and do as your benefactor says." Wang Er urged.
Wang Er's wife went to do it. She put the hot water outside and borrowed a few bowls from her neighbors and placed them at the door.
After a while, she went to check again and was surprised to find that the water inside was empty.
The conversation in the room continued.
"I have a nephew who was captured in Wushan. I suspect he's with the ancient tribe," Tangli said. This was the last clue given to her by the Heavenly Dao. "We want to go to Wushan to look for him. Wang Er, you are familiar with this area. Can you show us the way?"
After Tang Li finished speaking, Wang Er's face turned pale and he didn't say a word for a long time.
"Wang Er?"
"My benefactor, Wushan is incredibly strange. We only dare to hunt outside, never inside. Many years ago, when I was a child, many outsiders came and paid a high price to be led by villagers. Several groups went in, but never came out! Some say there are monsters in Wushan, while others say the beasts there are four or five times the size of those outside. They all sound incredibly strange." Wang Er said, "My benefactor, I'm really hesitant to let you lead the way."
Tangli's expression was solemn.
She had heard some rumors about Wushan: someone wanted to find the ancient tribe of Wushan and sent many people, but in the end, all of them disappeared. This matched Wang Er's words.
Even an experienced hunter like Wang Er doesn't dare to go in, which shows how dangerous Wushan is.
It would be nice if Wangyou could remember the past.
"Is there anyone else here who dares to enter Wushan? I can reward you with a large sum of money." Tang Li asked.
Wang Er pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll go ask."
Wang Er asked around, but no one dared to go.
Wang Er hesitated for a moment, then said, "My benefactor, let me tell you something unpleasant. If your nephew is really in Wushan, he's probably in great danger. You'd better not take any risks. Wushan is truly a place where people are eaten alive."
After Wang Er finished speaking, he went to help his wife prepare food.
Tang Li knew that although Wang Er’s words were unpleasant, they were indeed a kind reminder. However, Zhao Jingxuan must be found.
Only she can save him.
Sanbao sat close to Tangli, holding her arms with both hands, looking up at her, looking very well-behaved.
"We have to enter Wushan. Are you afraid?" Tang Li said, touching her little face.
Sanbao shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
On the contrary, there was excitement and curiosity in his eyes.
"Maybe we can help Wangyou find his relatives." Sanbao said.
Then he received a warm hospitality from Wangyou's family and successfully found the Sixth Prince!
Tangli chuckled, what a little girl.
However, it's good to be optimistic.
Maybe the result will be just as Sanbao said.
Tangli's mood also became much lighter.
The door opened, and Wang Er came in with a large basin full of meat, steaming hot from the pot. The aroma of meat filled the air. In winter, it seemed particularly delicious.
"My benefactor, let's eat first and talk later." Wang Erhan said with a smile.
The meat was very fragrant. I didn’t know what Wang Er’s wife had put in it, but it didn’t have any fishy smell at all.
It's piping hot, very fragrant, and delicious.
Everyone had a hearty meal, which was the most delicious food they had eaten in a while.
Sanbao also had his mouth full of oil and was very satisfied.
