Chapter 555: Persuading the Chief to Settle in the North
Ling Yun shook his head. "This is my first time seeing this, so I don't know much about it."
Li Fengxing was indeed knowledgeable. He said, "This may be related to its skeleton. No one can explain how the brain bead is formed, but it is quite beautiful."
Su Nuan nodded, and asked with anticipation in her eyes: "How much can it be sold for?"
Li Fengxing laughed, "Why not keep it? This is your trophy."
Su Nuan shook her head, "Compared to gold, this thing is definitely cuter than gold."
Li Fengxing pondered for a moment and said, "Aren't we going to the ghost town? Why not give it a try? The auction house over there can give you a price."
"If it's valuable, sell it. If it's not, keep it as a decoration. It will also be good to keep mosquitoes out of your home in the future."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, let's do it."
Su Nuan put away the brain bead and looked at the messy battlefield. "Let's go back. Even if there are some spiders that have escaped the net, they will not come out to do evil."
"Even ants seek benefits and avoid harm, but spiders must be smarter and hide to avoid danger."
"Let's go back first. I wonder if there are any giants who have gone out and returned to the tribe."
The three of them immediately returned to the Giant Tribe and found that everything was as usual, with no changes.
Obviously, their previous worries were unnecessary, as no giants came back.
Li Fengxing explained this to the chief and the others, then found Su Nuan, "They said they wanted to go back to farming and learn how to grow corn as soon as possible."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, you guys go back with them first, I'll go get some seeds from the old chief."
Li Fengxing smiled and made a suggestion, "The old chief doesn't seem to have many people there. Have they ever thought about living in the north? We can set up a separate village for them."
Su Nuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I'll go back and talk to her."
"Her tribe's combat effectiveness is not high. If they are not careful, they will be wiped out by foreign tribes. If they can move to the north, it will be a good option for them."
Ling Yun glanced at Li Fengxing and patted his shoulder. "I'll leave this to you. I'll go back with Nuannuan."
Li Fengxing nodded. Although he was reluctant, he put the overall situation first and said, "Okay, be careful."
Ling Yun smiled, looked at Su Nuan and said, "Let's go, we'll be back soon."
Su Nuan nodded, and the two of them took off into the air together, flying towards the old chief's tribe.
Soon, the two arrived at the old chief's tribe. When the old chief saw Su Nuan, a happy smile appeared on his face, "You're back!"
Su Nuan nodded, "I did three big things this time. Do you want to hear about it?"
The old chief smiled and said, "Okay, you say."
Su Nuan sat on a wooden stool next to the chief, and excitedly told how she persuaded the people of the Eagle Tribe to attack the Giants together.
Then it tells the story of how they rescued the children of the Eagle Tribe and how they wiped out the Giants.
She felt unsatisfied and told the story of how she killed the giant spider again, and even took out the brain bead to show the chief.
The chief looked at the brain bead and her expression became very solemn. She seemed to recognize it.
Su Nuan asked tentatively: "Do you know this thing?"
The chief nodded and said, "Yes, our ancestors left behind a stone painting. In the painting, it is a centipede fighting a human."
Su Nuan was startled and asked hurriedly, "Could it be that this kind of thing comes out in batches every once in a while?"
The chief sighed, "Yes, a group of them appear every hundred years. This is the first time I've seen spiders."
"Before there were scorpions, centipedes, beetles and snakes, and now there are spiders..."
Su Nuan asked in horror: "Snake? How big is it?"
The chief laughed and said, "The snakes that year weren't really big, but there were just a lot of them. The nearby tribes had a good feast."
Su Nuan: “…” Okay, as long as it’s edible.
She decided to change the subject and get down to business. She told the old chief about Li Fengxing's proposal.
Then he asked, "What do you think? If you can move to the North, we can set up a separate village for you. You can take care of each other and better protect the safety of the tribe."
After hearing this, the old chief's eyes flashed with thought. She was silent for a moment, then nodded.
She sighed and said, "We are willing to move to the North. I hope you won't despise them for not knowing anything."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. I will divide the land so that you can grow food and be self-sufficient."
"Also, when the schools in the north are completed, all of your children under ten will go to school for free. Learning skills will make your future even more exciting."
The chief listened carefully. Ever since she met Su Nuan, she had been thinking about the future of the tribe: should they continue to live in such an ignorant and careless way or make further progress?
Ling Yun stood aside, looking at Su Nuan's serious expression, and a sense of respect welled up in his heart.
He knew that although Su Nuan sometimes seemed a little "money-obsessed", she never thought about herself.
Thinking about the journey, Su Nuan has accumulated a lot of wealth, but she did not squander it. Instead, she stayed in the north to suffer and led everyone to improve their lives step by step.
She is better than many men. Her tenacity, wisdom and bravery are all admirable.
At this moment, Ling Yun not only changed his opinion of Su Nuan, but also no longer looked down on other women.
He realized that men and women alike could do extraordinary things.
After Su Nuan finished talking with the chief, she felt thirsty and was about to find some water to drink when suddenly a bamboo tube filled with clear water appeared in front of her.
She looked up and met Ling Yun's worried eyes, her heart beating wildly for no apparent reason.
Ling Yun said softly: "Drink some water, your lips are a little dry."
Su Nuan took the bamboo tube and drank it in one breath, but she choked on the last sip and started coughing violently.
Seeing this, Ling Yun quickly patted her back gently, his tone filled with a bit of blame and concern, "Why are you in such a hurry? Drink slowly next time."
Su Nuan coughed until her face turned red. After she finally caught her breath, she said, "It's okay, it's okay. I was just talking in a hurry."
Ling Yun asked, "What did you say? From now on, no matter how urgent it is, you must take care of yourself first."
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah, I understand. I was just thinking of asking your people to escort them to the north."
Ling Yun shook his head with some concern. "This road is too dangerous. Even though we can see the river in the north from here, we will encounter many wild beasts even if we go straight."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and said, "Arm your people with the best swords, bows and arrows, and medicine."
Ling Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, it would be best to migrate in winter. Let them stay and grow some more food."
Su Nuan felt that what Ling Yun said made sense. There were fewer poisonous insects in winter and bears hibernated, so the biggest threat was the wolf pack.
A good idea suddenly occurred to her. "Then let them continue to farm, and let Xiaobai guard them in winter. Ordinary wild animals like wolves and tigers won't dare approach them."
Ling Yun nodded in agreement, "Well, it's settled."
The two men spoke without avoiding the chief, but the chief said dissatisfiedly: "No, I don't agree."
