Chapter 343 The Secret of the Tribe
Because Uncle Tao had a sudden health problem, the entire tribe's rhythm was focused on this matter, and other arrangements were put on hold.
After being in a coma for three full days, Uncle Tao finally woke up from his coma.
Just when everyone in the tribe breathed a sigh of relief, Xia Tian suddenly became tense.
She was very worried that this situation was a last-minute lucidity, just a brief stop before death.
"What's wrong? Uncle Tao is awake now. Don't be so nervous. Get some rest." Si Ye looked at Xia Tian's tired and haggard face, feeling distressed. "I've checked on him. Uncle Tao seems to be in good condition. He should be recovering slowly."
"It's okay, I'll go take another look." Xia Tian shook her head, forced herself to get down from the stone bed where she was resting, and decided to go and take a look at the situation.
When they walked into the stone house, Uncle Tao was already able to sit up with the help of the young orc next to him. He could even eat some food by himself. He looked pretty good, as if he was really recovering in a good direction as Si Ye said.
But the moment Xia Tian stepped into the door, she could see that the old man's condition was beyond saving.
In other words, the situation she least wanted to happen happened - it was just a last gasp.
She made this judgment in her heart, but didn't say it out loud. Her expression was the same as everyone else's. She walked over with a relaxed look and greeted him as usual, "When did you wake up? Are you still feeling unwell?"
The old man had become somewhat slow at this point, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly replied, "Well... I've been awake for a while. Why are you here? Is Ah Ye with you?"
"Si Ye is handling some things outside, so I came in first. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Xia Tian's voice was very soft. As she spoke, she half-knelt and held the old man's withered arm.
"Ah... call him over, I have something to tell you." As if realizing that he didn't have much time left, Old Uncle Tao waved away the young man who was supporting him and signaled him to call Si Ye in from outside.
After a while, Si Ye walked in from outside and called out familiarly, "Uncle Tao."
The old man lowered his head and responded softly. After a while, he suddenly sighed, "Aye, you've called me Uncle Tao all your life, I have to leave something for you..."
Si Ye stood aside, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He was stunned and didn't say anything.
Xia Tian didn't respond because she knew that if she didn't let the old man speak at this time, she might never have another chance in her life.
"Ah... Actually, there's nothing much to say." Old Uncle Tao raised his hand and rubbed his face. "From now on, you will be the chief of the tribe. You must lead them well and don't let them get bullied... I haven't done anything great in my life, but the thing I regret least is adopting you. Haha! I was right, you're really promising... Ahem, I have a key here--"
As he spoke, the old man took out a "key" from somewhere and handed it to Si Ye.
But in fact, it is more like a small polished stone stick than a key.
One end is thick and the other end is thin, with animal skin tied in the middle as decoration, which is very characteristic of the style of this era.
Uncle Tao handed it to Si Ye, and holding Xia Tian's hand with his other hand, he earnestly warned, "This is the secret of our tribe, you must protect it..."
