"rr"

The leader of the Fire Tribe stood here and waited for a while, then turned around and said something. Then someone picked up the leaves that had not yet dried and piled them on the burning fire.

The billowing smoke quickly rose up, and it was very eye-catching under the clear sky...

"Why are these guys still lighting fires?"

It was a clear autumn day with a blue sky. The view was very broad. Han Cheng and others who were boating down the river saw the rising column of smoke.

In a trance, time and space seemed to be intertwined, and they returned to the first time they came here and saw the smoke column.

Han Cheng said this to himself, wondering if someone in the tribe would get sick again and be burned to death in such a cruel way?

"Sister Bai Xue."

Han Cheng thought of something and called out, but Bai Xuemei did not respond. In the past, as long as Han Cheng spoke, the little girl would immediately respond.

Han Cheng turned his head with some confusion and saw Bai Xue behind him also looking at the column of smoke.

His big eyes were filled with fear, and his already pale face was now almost pale. His body was trembling slightly, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind on a branch beside a river.

"Sister Bai Xue, don't be afraid, Brother Cheng is here."

Han Cheng's heart ached, and he hurried over to hug the lonely and helpless little child bride and comforted her softly.

He knew without asking that the column of smoke reminded Bai Xuemei of her previous experience and the terrible scene.

Sister Bai Xue looked at the column of smoke in horror and a daze, and then the fear in her heart dissipated a lot as she felt the warm and strong embrace and listened to the familiar voice coming from her ears.

She subconsciously grabbed Han Cheng's hand tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw to save her life.

Yes, with Brother Cheng here, Brother Cheng saved me from the fire and cured my illness. With Brother Cheng here, I won’t be pushed into the fire again...

Han Cheng patted Bai Xue's back gently, feeling both heartbroken and relieved.

What makes me feel distressed is Bai Xuemei’s tragic experience in the past and her current fragile and helpless appearance.

What is reassuring is that through Sister Bai Xue's performance at this time, he can be sure that even if the people of the Fire Tribe invite her, the little child bride will never return to the tribe that once brought her nightmares.

As long as Sister Bai Xue refuses to go back, no one else can make her stay.

Han Cheng's worries were not unreasonable. At this time, the tribe valued two things most: food and population.

After seeing that Snow White is safe and sound, the people of the Fire Tribe may ask Snow White to return to the tribe.

"Get your weapons ready and be careful later."

Han Cheng patted Bai Xuemei's back as she gradually calmed down, while giving orders to the people accompanying her.

Junior Brother Sha Shang and the others laughed and skillfully took up their weapons.

Their training has not stopped over the past six months. In addition to clearing land, hunting and planting, they have never missed training every three days as long as it is not during the busy farming season or when it is cloudy or rainy.

Those who have been integrated into the Qingque Tribe and the Yuangu Tribe also participated in the training two months ago.

The reason why it took a while before allowing these people from the Original Bone Tribe to participate in training was still the safety of the tribe.

After all, there is a huge difference between people with weapons and those without weapons.

"4"

After standing on the high ground for a while and looking at the river surface, he saw that it was still empty and no one was coming on any strange objects. The leader of the Fire Tribe prepared to leave.

After all, they still need to pick fruits and hunt for food, so they can't stay here for a long time.

However, the two people who were taking care of the fire would not leave, lest the water tribe would not be able to find their tribe when they came.

He attached great importance to the method that could cure the disease that he considered to be fatal.

Even though he didn't quite believe what the tribal leader, who looked like a child, said, he still held on to some hope and was unwilling to give up.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw some dark shadows appearing on the empty river surface.

I was shocked when I first saw it, but then I realized what was happening and I immediately became delighted.

The water tribe has really come back from the water. They did not break their promise!

The leader of the Fire Tribe shouted excitedly, and the tribesmen scattered nearby gathered towards him, and then they all ran towards the river together.

"I'll take these things with me later."

Han Cheng also saw the people running towards the river. He looked down at the things in the cabin, thought for a while, and then said to Shang who asked.

These things include salt, salted fish, and some pottery.

This was the gift he was going to give to the Fire Tribe.

This time, Han Cheng came with not only weapons but also gifts.

Weapons are used for self-protection and to capture a bride when necessary, and gifts are given to others.

After all, the Fire Tribe can be called his mother-in-law's tribe. If he kidnapped a girl from that tribe as a child bride, he would have to take some betrothal gifts.

Although people of this era do not know this, as a modern person coming from the future, Han Cheng does not want to take advantage of the Fire Tribe.

Of course, the premise of giving gifts is that the Fire Tribe does not do anything too extreme. If they do something that Han Cheng does not want to see, it is hard to say what will happen next.

"Hello, hello everyone."

The boat gradually approached the shore. Han Cheng, holding Bai Xue's sister in one hand and carrying a small bundle of dried Bupleurum roots in the other, responded in Mandarin to the people of the Fire Tribe on the opposite shore who were excitedly greeting them.

At the same time, he raised the hand holding the Bupleurum and waved it slowly towards them, with the Bupleurum root swaying.

Just make a greeting gesture, no matter whether they understand you or not.

According to the previous instructions, Junior Brothers Shang and Sha went ashore first. After the shore was guaranteed to be safe to a certain extent, Han Cheng took Sister Bai Xue, whose eyes were a little blurry, ashore.

There were six people on the boat who did not get off. This time was different from the past when there was no one on the shore, so a few people had to stay behind to watch the boat.

These people are all good at using bows and arrows. They stay on the boat to guard the boat. Secondly, if something changes, they can carry out remote suppression and support Han Cheng and others on the shore.

Han Cheng walked slowly toward the shore while carefully observing the Fire Tribe.

There are quite a few people in the Fire Tribe, with about forty or fifty of them gathered here.

The youngest child was only slightly younger than Han Cheng, and the rest were all adults, with no younger children.

The last time a sick person was burned to death, it was probably a ritual for the Fire Tribe, so men, women, young and old all came. But this time it was different.

The leader of the Fire Tribe stood at the front with a smile on his face. Behind him stood the men and women of the Fire Tribe. Although they had weapons in their hands, they were all relaxed and showed no signs of fighting.

It was those female primitives, most of whom were still shirtless, that made Han Cheng shiver slightly.

These guys looked at me and others with green eyes, as if they wanted to eat them all.

In contrast, the male primitive people of the Fire Tribe seemed much calmer, but the smiles on their faces were somewhat meaningful. Some guys couldn't help laughing out loud, and no one knew what they were thinking about.

Han Cheng was basically certain that the Fire Tribe had no hostility, so he felt much more confident and bolder as he took Sister Bai Xue by the hand.

When he came to the leader of the Fire Tribe, the leader opened his arms and was about to give Han Cheng a warm bear hug. Han Cheng quickly let go of Bai Xuemei's hand and held the hand of the Fire Tribe leader.

He pretended to be solemn, shook it gently, and said, "Hello, hello."
