Chapter 540 Su Yang's Gift
"When a tribe is in a disadvantaged position and encounters a situation like this year, it can only sacrifice a part of its people to protect the interests of the majority of people in the tribe." Si Ye's tone was very calm, as if he was no longer surprised by this phenomenon.
Xia Tian had thought about this situation a long time ago. Although she knew that she could not change it by her own strength, the compassion of human beings was still somewhat moving.
She shook her head helplessly, "You've seen many similar situations before, right?"
Si Ye paused while packing his luggage, then returned to normal after a moment. "This kind of situation happens roughly every five or six years. Every tribe will encounter similar situations to some extent. So it's not that we're not surprised, but it's a basic consensus among everyone."
In other words, everyone actually understands the logic here.
If we don't exchange the females, the entire tribe will just have to wait for death.
Otherwise, who would be willing to give up precious females with fertility?
"Xia Xia!" Xia Tian and Si Ye packed their luggage and were about to dismantle the shelter when they saw Su Yang running towards them from not far away, holding something in his hand.
"Huh... finally caught up." Su Yang panted as he pulled out a heavy-looking animal hide bag and handed it to Xia Tian. "Nice to meet you. Thank you so much for your company these past few days! This is some food from our tribe. It's also a little token of my appreciation for you... Although I don't know where you're going, I wish you a safe journey and hope you're happy!"
"Gift?" Xia Tian glanced at Si Ye and took the gift prepared by the girl with both hands.
When I opened it, I saw a bag of... wheat?
"Is this wheat?" Xia Tian couldn't wait to grab some, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The sweetness of fresh wheat explodes in your mouth, a fragrance unique to cereal foods that makes you feel particularly satisfied.
"What is wheat? This is yellow millet, the food of our sheep tribe. Only the most distinguished guests can eat it. We don't have much at home, so this is all we can give you."
Su Yang scratched his head shyly, "Ah, actually I don't know if you are used to eating it, but we use this as a gift here. There is also a bag of cotton underneath for you to use later..."
Xia Tian handed the package to Si Ye to put away and thanked her, "Thank you, we will eat it. This is such a surprise... We are very happy to be with you these days. We hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future."
Speaking of this, Su Yang seemed to remember something sad and lowered his head dejectedly.
But after a moment, he returned to his usual carefree self and nodded very seriously, "Okay, I hope we can meet again in the future!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ran away quickly.
Xia Tian didn't know that they would really meet again in the near future.
…
After packing their luggage, Xia Tian and Si Ye rode on the big snake again, and finally arrived at Dongfang City after hurrying all the way.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I was shocked by the huge stone gate of Dongfang City.
As mentioned before, the productivity level of the Beast World Continent is basically equivalent to the Neolithic Age on Earth, so it must have taken a lot of effort to build such a city.
"Your Highness! You are finally back!" But before the two of them walked into the door, they were stopped by a guard.
