Chapter 253 Catching the Traitor
The Great Elder is here.
Everyone complained about how arrogant Ye Li was, insisting on protecting a wolfdog and being an enemy of their tribe.
Xiao Xun walked over slowly, his face expressionless as he said, "Great Elder, if you also think we've gone too far, then we won't stay here. After all, if everyone is so restrained when trying to do something, there's no point in keeping it here."
Ye Li nearly fainted after hearing Xiao Xun's words. Was he helping them? Or was he making things worse? Leaving the Forest Tribe? Where could they go? The Forest Tribe was the best place to live right now.
"Xiao Xun." Ye Li walked closer and quietly pulled Xiao Xun's sleeve.
Xiao Xun turned around and gave Ye Li a reassuring look.
Ye Li's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down. She should try to trust Xiao Xun. After all, he would be her husband and her support in the future.
After hearing what Xiao Xun said, the Great Elder became panicked.
Not to mention Ye Li’s importance to the forest tribe, just Xiao Xun alone is the pillar that stabilizes the morale of the army. How can we let this pillar leave?
"Well!" The elder thought for a moment and said, "It's actually just a wolfhound, not the ones that attacked us before."
After the elder said this, he walked forward and wanted to touch Winnie.
Winnie was so scared that he hid back. Xixi quickly squatted down, hugged Winnie's neck, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Winnie, the great elder is a good man!"
Winnie immediately lowered his head and stopped moving.
Xixi quickly gave the Great Elder a reassuring look, and the Great Elder then mustered up the courage to step forward. He reached out and touched Winnie, and it felt really good. This wolfdog was well-raised.
"As everyone has seen, this wolfdog is very docile, unlike the previous ones. I think we can keep it." The Great Elder announced.
"Great Elder, did my good brother die in vain?" The man who had been trying to kill Winnie was dissatisfied.
The Great Elder patted the man on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Your brother's death certainly wasn't in vain. The people of our tribe will always remember him. If you're truly upset, you should blame the bandits of the Hilltop Tribe instead of treating a wolfhound like this. Besides, Ye Li is our savior. Do you really have to force her away, leaving our farm abandoned once again so that everyone can just gnaw on tree bark?"
The man lowered his head in shame. The vegetables his family ate yesterday were distributed from the vegetables grown on the farm.
"Great Elder, you are right. I hate the wrong people. The people I should hate are those people from the Hilltop Tribe."
The Great Elder is the most respected person in the tribe. Who in the tribe would not believe his words?
Immediately, everyone had no objection to the wolfdog raised by Ye Li.
Ye Li took the opportunity to assure everyone: "I promise everyone that Winnie will never hurt anyone in the tribe. I will keep a close eye on him."
Xixi also quickly spoke up for her dog: "Winnie is very well behaved, he never bites anyone."
"Then why was my brother bitten?" Song Lu jumped out again.
The Great Elder glared at him coldly, and Song Lu was so scared that he shut up immediately. Although he was the Second Elder's man, he would definitely suffer the consequences if he offended the Great Elder.
"Oh no, Great Elder!" Li Sangtian and his men hurried over, panting, "We just discovered that all the rice in the rice fields has rotted. The entire field is ruined!"
"What's going on?" the Great Elder asked seriously.
"Someone spread lime on the rice paddies, and when the lime came into contact with the water, it boiled, and all the rice in the paddies was burned alive."
Everyone was shocked, looking at each other and the people around them. Who could be so cruel? They actually destroyed the rice fields. They were about to harvest the rice, and now it was destroyed. What would happen to the food for the winter?
"Great Elder," the Second Elder said quickly, seeing the opportunity, "Before anything gets out of hand, we should send someone to lure everyone together, and then search every house. The thieves are off guard right now, and we're sure to find evidence."
"You're right!" The Great Elder shouted hurriedly, "Li Yuan, take your men and gather everyone in the square. The rest of you will search house by house. This time we must catch the traitor."
