The hut is really huge!
Although the roof was also built with thatch, the hut was built against a huge rainforest tree, and the roof was made entirely of wood. In front of the huge thatched hut, there was a large open space, which was obviously the place to gather the tribesmen to tell stories...
"We're here. I'm going to go tell my dad. You guys wait a moment!"
Hu Lushan stopped outside the thatched hut, said something to Gu Nanzhi, and walked into the hut.
A moment later.
Hulushan turned back and invited Gu Nanzhi in.
Seeing this, Xie Zhenting subconsciously wanted to follow, but...
"My father only said he wanted to see her!"
However, Hu Lushan stopped him with a mumbling voice.
Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi hurriedly said, "You guys wait for me outside first, I can go by myself!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting frowned even more tightly.
"It's okay, I have a lot of stuff with me, they can't hurt me!"
Seeing this, Gu Nanzhi chuckled and said soothingly, "Maybe I can deal with the Tata tribe later!"
Xie Zhenting's brows were still furrowed tightly when he heard this, and then...
When Gu Nanzhi turned around and was about to leave, Xie Zhenting reached out and grabbed her, and stuffed the particle shield into her hand: "Take this thing in and keep it turned on! I'll wait for you to come out!"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."
He looked down at the particle shield in his hand and curled his lips slightly: "Okay!"
Particle shield opens.
Gu Nanzhi adjusted the coverage range to only cover himself.
Hu Lushan looked at the transparent halo that lit up around her body and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it, but was stopped by Gu Nanzhi: "Don't touch it, this is my thing for self-protection, I don't want to hurt you by mistake!"
Hu Lushan heard this: "Ah? Oh!"
The people outside are so amazing that they can even make something like this that looks like the light of God. If his father saw this, wouldn’t he be amazed?
But it's good this way, at least...
When this woman angers his father, he will have an extra bargaining chip to escape!
Gu Nanzhi followed Hulushan and went up the wooden steps.
Watching her figure disappear behind the door at the end of the stairs, Cai Qing immediately stepped forward and looked at Xie Zhenting and said, "Why did you let the mistress go in alone? What if she gets into danger?"
"If she's in danger, we'll wipe this place out!"
Xie Zhenting's voice came, and Cai Qing glared in anger.
"Even so, you shouldn't let Mr. take risks. You are still Mr.'s husband!"
Her mission is to protect her husband's safety!
Now the gentleman went alone to take the risk, while all of them were left outside, which made Cai Qing somewhat unacceptable.
"What else? What can you do?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting said in a deep voice: "We don't know the language of the Tata tribe, and we can't communicate with the Tata people. Also, even if we can communicate with the Tata people, can you convince them to let us dig up their ancestral graves?"
Cai Qing heard: "..."
There was a sudden silence.
"You mean, sir, can you convince the Tata tribe to give up Qibu Lake?"
“It should be!”
Xie Zhenting pondered.
"How to convince?"
Cai Qing looked confused.
"If my guess is correct, the reason why there are so many abnormal people in the Tata tribe is because...inbreeding!"
Xie Zhenting took a deep breath and said slowly: "I think she wants to use this as a condition to negotiate with the Tata tribe!"
Just as Xie Zhenting thought, inside the thatched hut.
When Gu Nanzhi met the chief of the Tata tribe, he really wanted to negotiate with him through this.
"I can change the current situation of your Tata tribe and allow it to continue normally, but I want Qibu Lake!"
"What do you mean?"
The chief of the Tata tribe was an old man with animal bones hanging all over his body and a fierce look on his face, but...
Since it concerned the continuation of the tribe and the survival of the tribesmen, he suppressed his anger and negotiated with Gu Nanzhi.
"To be honest, there is the ore I want at the bottom of Qibu Lake. I may have to disturb the dead in your tribe. I know this is offensive. In exchange, I will help you get rid of the tribe's predicament!"
“Huh!”
Upon hearing this, Chief Hu Luqi sneered, smashed the wooden table in front of him with a slap, and said in a deep voice: "How dare you want to disturb the burial place of my Tata tribe!"
"The burial ground is for our ancestors, but your Tata tribe is in trouble right now!"
Gu Nanzhi was not at all flustered when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "It's your choice to insist on your own opinion and let your Tata tribe continue like this and naturally die, or to give it a try! But..."
"I can tell you clearly that cooperating with me is your tribe's only chance, because if you want to change the current situation of your tribe, you have no choice but to get out of the mountains. To be honest..."
"Outside the mountains, in the rain forest, I have the final say now!"
Even though Gu Nanzhi's reaction was too calm, Hu Luqi, who was furious, couldn't help but be stunned.
The anger on his old face gradually died down, replaced by an unprecedented tangle...
Qibu Lake is the burial place of their Tata tribe!
Their tribe has always raised wild beasts in order to bury their members there, in the place closest to the god of death, but...
The dead rest in peace, but the living are dying away!
This is the pain in the hearts of their tribe!
It is also the lingering worry in Hu Luqi's heart!
As a chief, he shoulders the survival of the tribe. The woman in front of him speaks wildly and points her sword at the burial ground of their tribe. If it were in the past, or if it were something else, he would blow the bone whistle on his neck without hesitation and have someone deal with this woman, but...
The survival of the tribe is at stake...
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he has no choice!
After a long silence, Hu Luqi finally took a deep breath and broke the silence: "How can I believe you? Believe that you are not lying to me?"
"I can tell you why your people have become like this!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi said in a deep voice: "Success and failure are all due to Xiao He. Your ancestors fled here to avoid the war and found a paradise for you. It is true that you have a place to settle down, but..."
"This place is isolated from the rest of the world. You live in isolation, and all marriages can only take place within the tribe. However, you may not know that inbreeding leads to genetic convergence. The inferior genes and teratogenic sequences in your genes will be infinitely amplified through generations of inbreeding..."
"Finally, the originally recessive genes will be expanded to become dominant, and the lesions and deformities will naturally be revealed. Moreover, this situation will become more and more serious until finally..."
"No normal babies will be born in your tribe anymore, and you will die out naturally!"
Hu Luqi heard: "!!!"
Hu Lushan heard: "!!!"
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"So, if you want the tribe to continue, you only have one way, and that is to get out of the mountains and marry someone from the outside world!"
