Chapter 325 [Stable, we’re one of them!]
Seeing that the Moon Clan members had gone a long way away, Wen Qiao touched the parchment scroll hidden in his sleeve and immediately said to Jiang Lili, "You wait here, I'll go after them."
After saying that, she quickly chased after him.
At this time, only Jiang Lili and Xin Che were left there, and the frightened herdsmen had obviously not recovered yet.
Seeing Xin Che's obscure eyes lingering on the ruby bracelet in her hand, Jiang Lili suddenly felt that this thing was hot.
Jiang Lili immediately explained: "I wanted to return it to him, but he ran too fast."
Xin Che's face was calm, his dark eyes were extremely deep. He nodded slightly: "It's okay to accept it."
Is it really okay?
Jiang Lili frowned, her dark eyes rolled around, and she began to test the edge of death.
She spread out her palm and casually handed the jewel bracelet to Xin Che: "Then, can you put it on for me?"
Jiang Lili instantly felt the other person's face darken visibly as soon as she finished speaking, as if covered by dark clouds, and the sinister expression was like a cold and arrogant cat that would scratch at anyone at any time -
Perhaps among all the people who know Xin Che, only Jiang Lili dares to make such an analogy.
Just as Xin Che's face darkened, Jiang Lili's expression suddenly changed. Her tone was surprised, and her gaze shifted completely from Xin Che to the bracelet: "Huh? There's something wrong with this bracelet!"
Jiang Lili suddenly discovered that the rubies on the bracelet were strung together with a thin cowhide rope, and the knotting method at the joints looked particularly familiar.
When they were in school, there was a trend for a while to DIY weave bracelets for themselves and their friends, which could bring good luck or ensure everlasting friendship. These were of course just gimmicks, but making some small handicrafts was also a spice of life in boring high school.
The reason why Jiang Lili remembers it so clearly is that during that period she received more than 30 woven bracelets one after another. Almost all of her classmates gave her friendship bracelets they had woven themselves, and she got another nickname: Class Poseidon No. 2.
Number 1 is of course Zhou Jushan, the student who has now entered the palace. He is a transferred school idol. There are girls who like him in almost every class in the school. He is like central air conditioning, always nice to everyone and then reject them when they confess their love.
So it is a bit of retribution that the school hunk has become a rootless grass.
Realizing the bracelet's strangeness, Jiang Lili quickly said to Xin Che, whose resentment was about to explode, "The knotting method of this bracelet's interface looks very familiar. Could it be that there are members of our tribe in the Moon Tribe?"
Although he felt resentful, Xin Che subconsciously turned his attention to the bracelet after Jiang Lili spoke. He carefully observed the bracelet interface and said, "This knotting method is really unique. I have never seen it before."
His observation skills were astonishing. "The knot on the cowhide bag of the Moon Tribe member just now is different from this one. One of the bracelets was made by someone else."
Jiang Lili's brows relaxed upon hearing this, and joy streamed from the corners of her eyes: "That's great!"
I can pick up another little friend!
Seeing the dimples on Jiang Lili's face, Xin Che's accumulated resentment dissipated a lot. Nothing was more important than seeing her happy.
But he had never suffered so many losses in one thing before, and he would have to make up for it one day.
The depth in Xin Che's eyes deepened a bit, but when he noticed the noise beside his ear, he hid the deep meaning in his eyes and became his original aloof and otherworldly look.
At this time, the frightened herdsmen finally came back to their senses.
When they saw that the Moon Clan members had disappeared, they felt relieved to have survived the disaster, but at the same time they were surprised because they were completely different from the Moon Clan members they had imagined.
Xi Chengyun recalled the Moon Clan's attitude towards them just now: "Although this Moon Clan member looks fierce, his behavior in distributing pork just now seemed quite reasonable."
Another older herder shook his head, still wary: "Perhaps they just saw the divine messenger's extraordinary skills and offered to share the meat with him."
"But you still remember that three years ago, there was an overrun of wild boars in the mountains, and our Panyue Pasture was in great trouble."
The more Xi Chengyun thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. "The royal guards came up the mountain to help us drive away the wild boars. At first, they were overwhelmed by the reckless behavior of the boars. Then one day, wild boar carcasses began to appear around the pasture, each one sliced in half like this. After that, there were no more wild boars around our pasture."
Xi Chengyun's words startled the other three herdsmen. They recalled how the royal guards had cleared wild boars from the mountain three years ago and had performed heroically, solving a major problem that had plagued Panyue Pasture for a long time in just one night.
It was also after this incident that they in Panyue Grassland became loyal to the royal family of Mi Kingdom and regarded the royal family as their savior.
Xi Chengyun's reminder caused the others to fall into deep thought: "The wild boar's carcass was also like this at the time, with only half of the meat left."
"The royal guards explained that they were extremely hungry while clearing the wild boars in the mountains and didn't bring enough dry food, so they sliced the carcasses in half. Furthermore, treating the carcasses this way would pose a threat to other wild boars, deterring them from attacking again..."
Their voices gradually faded as they spoke, some of them hesitant to think further. Could it be that the Moon Tribe, whom they had feared for centuries, had actually helped them? And the real problem was the Royal Guard?
Jiang Lili listened to the herdsmen's discussion and felt something was wrong. The herdsmen were so afraid of the Moon People, there must be a misunderstanding.
Once Wen Qiao brings back the Yue people and interrogates them thoroughly, perhaps all the mysteries can be solved.
Jiang Lili calculated the time and said, "Let's just wait here for Goddess Wen to come back. She should be back soon."
With Wen Xiaoba's speed, he can catch someone in minutes.
Just after Jiang Lili finished saying this, footsteps were heard in the distance.
Jiang Lili was puzzled: "You came back so soon?"
"No." Xin Che put his hand on the sword at his waist, his eyes full of vigilance: "There are noises coming from all directions, many people, and they are not the envoys of Wen Shen!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Chengyun and the others also took out their hatchets, whips, and axes...
A moment later, a group of people rushed out from all directions, wearing animal skins and holding spears or bows and arrows. The leading few people were holding sacks in their hands, and their faces were also smeared with oil paint.
These people are also from the Moon Clan.
Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief after determining the other party's identity. She then looked at the accessories on the chests of these Moon Clan members. There were bows, stones with smiley faces painted on them, and even turquoise polished into the shape of a cat's head... She could tell at a glance that there were modern elements!
Looking at the necklace strings on these people's chests, they were very thick. With Jiang Lili's 5.0 vision, she could see that some of the Moon Clan people's knotted joints were still the same familiar style!
Her guess was right!
It’s settled!
It's friends!
