Wow, the environment here is amazing! It looks like a paradise!
[Yes, this must be a tribe hidden deep in the mountains. Everyone here seems so kind.]
Xu Nian was also slightly shocked.
She never imagined that there would be such a beautiful area deep in the mountains, and that a tribe would live there.
"Gibberish".
Upon seeing Xu Nian and the others, several people surrounded A Ran and bombarded her with questions.
Aran blushed and explained a lot, then took out the grain in her hand, seemingly to get everyone's consent.
When those people saw the grain, their eyes widened, and they gesticulated wildly, saying something unintelligible.
"You may come in."
Finally, Aran smiled and walked to Xu Nian's side, "They agreed."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was overjoyed and led the group to continue deeper into the area.
As they continued to enter, the beautiful and elegant environment inside left everyone in awe, and many people began to murmur among themselves.
"I thought I'd have to camp out in the mountains tonight, but I ended up in such a wonderful place!"
"That's right. Although the people in these tribes dress a bit strangely, they are beautiful and kind-hearted."
Gu Zhan didn't participate in the discussion, but instead looked around.
He also realized that this was a good place.
"There are too many people, so we'll have to squeeze in, is that okay?"
Upon reaching a house, Aran turned back with a hint of shame on her face, saying, "Our place isn't very big either."
Seeing this, Xu Nian quickly said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We're already very grateful to have a place to stay. Thank you."
Seemingly afraid that Aran would still feel guilty, Xu Nian added, "You have already helped us a lot, thank you, Aran."
Upon hearing this, Aran stopped blaming herself and nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go and tell the leader."
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Xu Nian looked around the room and called out, "Everyone, please make room to rest. If you need anything, you can come and ask me for it."
Alright!
The group had been traveling for a long time and were quite tired, so they quickly prepared a place for themselves to rest.
Xu Nian sat back and watched Da Bao and Er Bao playing in the room.
"Sister!"
Suddenly, Da Bao rushed up to Xu Nian, his face pleading, "Can we go out and play?"
Erbao nodded expectantly.
Immediately, Xu Nian looked towards the door in surprise.
Several children from the tribe were standing there, peering inside with great curiosity.
Xu Nian immediately understood that the two children wanted to play with the children in the tribe.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian took out some snacks from her spatial storage. "Go ahead, and share these snacks with everyone while you're at it."
Da Bao and Er Bao excitedly took the gifts and ran off to play with the other children in the tribe.
"They seem to be having a lot of fun."
Gu Zhan looked around, then walked over and sat down next to Xu Nian. "This is a nice place. I quite like it."
It was rare to hear Gu Zhan speak so frankly, so Xu Nian raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? Does General Gu perhaps like such a secluded paradise?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan chuckled softly, "Not exactly."
"All I like is a stable life."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was stunned for a moment, then thought of Gu Zhan's constant travels on the battlefield, which meant he must not have had the opportunity to live a proper life, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Once the famine is over, I also want to take a good rest for a while," Gu Zhan said to himself.
His face showed a rare weariness, and he looked like he had been through a lot.
Gu Zhan's life is destined for the path of a general.
He practiced martial arts from a young age and was praised by thousands of people. At a young age, he was appointed as a general, second only to the emperor.
His family rejoiced for him, and the people were proud of him.
But with fame comes immense responsibility. After taking office, he dared not even sleep deeply, for fear that something might suddenly happen.
Xu Nian thought of this, and the magnificent scene of Gu Zhan protecting his country with his strong body seemed to flash before her eyes.
[Waaaaah, the General must be so tired.]
[Sigh, I really hope to see the general walking his dog and playing with the children in the yard someday, so he doesn't have to work so hard!]
Honestly, General, you deserve a lot of credit for this dynasty's longevity.
Xu Nianwei sighed almost imperceptibly.
Although she is destined to leave this place, Xu Nian will lend her a hand if given the chance, so that she can unload her burden as soon as possible.
"Xu Nian!"
While the two remained silent, Aran's voice drifted over from afar, seemingly carrying a hint of joy.
"What's wrong?"
Immediately, Xu Nian stood up and asked with a smile.
Arran ran over breathlessly, "Our leader said he wants to see you, and this young man too."
He looked at Gu Zhan, who looked tired, with some doubt, but still continued, "You don't need to be nervous, the leader is very nice."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded and followed A Ran out of the room with Gu Zhan.
After leaving the house, Aran took a few turns and came straight to a quiet courtyard.
The courtyard was simply built, but it was still elegant. However, the only drawback was that there were no plants nearby, and the bare house in the middle looked rather out of place.
Despite her doubts, Xu Nian didn't say much and silently followed A Ran into the room.
"Wow!"
As Aran entered, she called out loudly, presumably as a greeting.
The room was simply furnished, with just a table and a few chairs. A white-bearded man sat upright in the head chair, his face serious.
"Are you outsiders?"
The question was asked with great seriousness, and Xu Nian did not give a perfunctory answer, replying earnestly, "We are passing through here and wish to trouble you for a few days."
Aran added from the side, "They are good people. They even gave us food and vegetables, so everyone has something to eat."
Upon hearing the word "grain," the chief's expression shifted slightly. "Grain? For us?"
Xu Nian was a little confused, but still said, "That's right, I gave A Ran a bag of grain as an apology for the misunderstanding."
Upon hearing this, the chieftain said with deep gratitude, "Thank you so much. To be honest, our people haven't had any food for a long time."
Immediately, Xu Nian frowned in confusion.
Gu Zhan was equally perplexed.
The area has abundant water, fresh air, and fertile soil, so growing grain should not be a problem.
Why is it that this tribe has no food to eat?
With many doubts in her mind, Xu Nian finally asked, "Why is there no food to eat? Don't you have any seeds to plant?"
The leader's expression changed drastically. He hesitated for a long time before finally letting out a leisurely sigh.
"Ah, there's a reason for all of this..."
