"Are they... born like you?"
Gu Nanzhi pointed at those people who were obviously different from ordinary people and could not live like normal people, and said in a mumbling voice.
"Um!"
Hulushan nodded. "It may be because we live too close to Qibu Lake. Qibu Lake is the end of life and the realm ruled by the god of death. Our ancestors fled here to avoid the war. Although this place is far away from fighting, it is not a pure land..."
"Our people have gradually become like this. There are fewer and fewer normal people born now. There are more and more people like them who are not very smart or have physical disabilities..."
Gu Nanzhi heard: "!!!"
He took a deep breath, pointed to the place where the thatched houses of the Tata tribe were more concentrated, and said in a deep voice: "So, the abnormal people we just saw are only a small part? Are there still many abnormal people in your tribe?"
"Um!"
Hu Lushan nodded: "Maybe there will be more and more in the future? There haven't been any normal children born in our tribe for several years!"
Gu Nanzhi: “!!!”
The speculation in my heart became more and more obvious.
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, holding Hulushan who was about to move forward, and said in a deep voice: "Hulushan, let me ask you something, how do you get married in your tribe?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Hu Lushan looked at her in confusion, and then...
He subconsciously broke free from her hand, took a step back with a vigilant look on his face, and said, "What do you mean by asking this? You don't want to marry me, do you? I tell you, it's impossible! People in our tribe never marry outsiders!"
“It is indeed so!”
Gu Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your tribe really doesn't marry with outsiders!"
Her guess was right!
The reason why the Tata tribe became like this is because of this!
"What else?"
Hu Lushan was confused by Gu Nanzhi's nonsensical words, "Our tribe lives in seclusion, away from the outside world! Even if our ancestors didn't stipulate not to marry outsiders, there are no outsiders in our tribe!"
Gu Nanzhi: “…”
Looking at Hu Lushan who was speaking with great confidence, I didn't know what to say for a moment.
He turned around and looked at Xie Zhenting beside him.
"Xie Zhenting!"
"Um?"
Xie Zhenting looked up when he heard this.
"I think I know how to dig up their ancestors' graves openly!"
Xie Zhenting: “Hmm?”
He looked at Gu Nanzhi suspiciously, and then...
I watched Gu Nanzhi turn around and look at Hulushan again, mumbling something...
"Hulushan, do you want to know why your tribe can't give birth to normal children?"
"What do you mean?"
"Take me to see the chief of your tribe. I can help you solve the problem of your tribe not being able to give birth to normal children!"
Hulushan: “!!!”
When the Tata tribe migrated to this deep mountain, there were already thousands of people. After years of reproduction and development, when their tribe was at its peak, the number of people even approached 100,000. However...
The good times didn't last long, and the problems of their tribe gradually emerged, that is...
There are more and more abnormal newly born people in their tribe!
As time went by, this situation became more and more serious. By the time of their generation, the glory of their ancestors had become a thing of the past. The Tata tribe had been reduced to only a few thousand people, and half of these thousands of people were abnormal. The real young and strong laborers were only a few hundred people like Hulushan...
And it is these hundreds of people who have become the main force to support the entire tribe!
Even among these hundreds of people, there are some who were born with defects like Hu Lushan, but the defects are not obvious...
"Friends who have come from afar, you can meet our chief if you want, because the chief is my father!"
Hu Lushan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "But, don't say what you just said. Our tribe is cursed by the god of death. No one can save us, and no one can change this situation!"
He had a good impression of Gu Nanzhi and others, and didn't want her to violate the taboos of the tribe.
The Tata tribe has no taboos, except...
An abnormal newborn in their tribe!
This is a scar engraved on the hearts of every member of their tribe, and every time it is mentioned, they fall into deep despair!
"There are no gods in this world, so where does the god of death come from?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi immediately said, "I said I know why your tribe has become like this. I just know it! Don't you want to change this situation? Do you want to watch your tribe slowly die like this?"
"Take me to see your father. I can tell you the crux of the matter. I can help you change this situation!"
Hu Lushan heard: "..."
He has said what needs to be said!
He also reminded those who needed to be reminded!
"You insisted on doing this. My father has a bad temper. If you mention this matter but can't come up with a solution, it will anger him..."
Hu Lushan looked at Gu Nanzhi and said with a frown: "Even I can't save you!"
In the rainforest tribe, the chief’s absolute authority is unquestionable!
Even though Hurushan was the chief's son, he had nothing but absolute admiration and respect for his father.
"I know!"
Meeting Hulushan's gaze, Gu Nanzhi said calmly.
Eyes met.
Hu Lushan looked at Gu Nanzhi with a deep gaze for a long while. Finally, he waved his hand, turned around and walked forward.
This woman was asking for death herself, it has nothing to do with him!
Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say. If she didn't listen, could she blame him?
Hu Lushan was furious, and the people who were traveling with him, including Gu Nanzhi and others, also looked extremely strange...
The group walked towards the depths of the Tata tribe settlement again, and then...
They met more abnormal people!
They are everywhere!
"How could this happen? Is this tribe cursed?"
Miao Yue was stunned when she saw this.
Even though she kept all kinds of insects, some of which looked scary, but...
Bugs are bugs, and humans are humans!
People look different and have different ideas, which is a bit creepy!
"Don't show any abnormality. Let's go meet the chief of the Tata tribe!"
Gu Nanzhi's reminder came at the right time, making Miao Yue and others instantly retract their gazes.
As the group continued to walk in, they also saw how big the Tata tribe was. They couldn't see it from the outside, but when they really walked into the Tata tribe's settlement and went around a hill, they could see the whole picture of the Tata tribe...
There is a huge basin surrounded by mountains!
And the basin is the real settlement of the Tata tribe!
Living close to the mountains, even the temperature is much lower due to the barrier of the mountains, making it more suitable for human survival...
Ignoring those abnormal people, this place really looks like a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world!
After walking for most of the day, Gu Nanzhi and others finally arrived at a huge thatched cottage under the guidance of Hulushan.
