Because the mountains are very humid and there are cumulus clouds near the top of the mountain, which blocks the sun, sometimes the wood picked up is wet and it is extremely difficult to start a fire. Dry wood is a very important and precious fuel in the Moon Tribe.
Every household in the tribe uses fuel sparingly, and only lights bonfires during major festivals.
Now a grand bonfire party is held for Jiang Lili.
Under the moonlight and the glow of the bonfire, Jiang Lili's white clothes were like bright clouds under the moon, making her look otherworldly.
Jiang Lili saved the most respected chief of the Moon Tribe and cured the snake venom that would have been fatal if bitten. She has been revered as a god.
Seeing the Moon Clan members bowing down to Jiang Lili, Xi Chengyun dropped the lamb leg in his hand.
The other herdsmen also stopped crying at the same time, perhaps because they were choked by the food in their mouths or because they were stunned by Jiang Lili on the sedan chair.
The tall and mighty warriors of the Moon Tribe came towards the herdsmen carrying jars of wine.
The herdsmen's first reaction was to cover their heads and hide, fearing that the Moon Tribe people would smash the wine jars on their heads.
Unexpectedly, the other party bent down and poured wine for them with a jar, which made the herdsmen flattered.
They also got better and even asked the Moon Clan members to pour them some wine!
This time I go back and brag to the folks in the tribe!
It took a long time for the herdsmen to digest the fact that Jiang Lili had gotten off the sedan chair and the Moon Clan, whom they had feared for a hundred years, was also revered as a goddess.
Although they didn't know what happened, they understood from the mumblings and gestures of the surrounding Moon Clan members that the goddess had saved the leader of the tribe.
The herdsmen recalled that they had only been imprisoned for less than a day, and then the situation outside changed and the goddess turned the tables. They were all at a loss.
Herder 1: "It seems... we're the ones holding back?"
Nomad 2: "Do you feel like we are dispensable?"
Nomad Three: "What are we doing up the mountain?"
Xi Chengyun took a bite of the roasted lamb leg and said, "Uh...are you coming to eat?"
Jiang Lili was invited to her exclusive VIP dining seat, right opposite the four herdsmen.
On a huge camphorwood low table, crystal clear wild fruits and fine wine were placed, and in the middle was the hardest dish, a whole roasted lamb that was carefully roasted to a golden color.
In the clay pot next to it, fresh venison and wild game were stewed into a rich and fragrant soup.
The Moon Clan member next to Jiang Lili cut the whole roasted lamb for her and served her soup. Jiang Lili was almost dizzy from the aroma, but because of her status as a goddess, she couldn't just hold the lamb chops and eat them.
Jiang Lili tasted several dishes and found them all surprisingly delicious. She couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect the food in your tribe to be so delicious."
"We didn't know how to cook..." Jida paused here, then turned his gaze to the seat in the northwest, where Lu Renjia was grunting while eating.
Jida sighed and continued, "It was Xiaolu who taught us how to prepare food, add seasonings, and remove the mutton smell."
The other Moon Clan members pondered for a moment upon hearing this. During the time when the little deer had just woken up after being struck by lightning, it was indeed like a different person and helped them a lot. In return, they gave Xiaolu the best living conditions, as well as precious livestock, herbs, and gems, and obeyed Xiaolu's orders unconditionally.
However, her disrespectful act of blowing up the temple made the Moon Clan people angry.
After seeing Lu Renjia also being taken to a seat, Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Moon Clan members had become much more friendly towards Xiaolu.
She glanced at the stunned herders and felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by such a row of idiots: "Why are you looking at me? Keep eating."
The four of them recalled their doubts and disobedience to Jiang Lili before going up the mountain. They had no appetite at this moment and felt that every bite of rice was filled with regret and sourness.
They opened their mouths, but didn't know how to express their apology and regret. However, after this battle, they already knew clearly that following the goddess was the right thing to do, as there would be meat to eat!
Xi Chengyun looked at the empty space beside Jiang Lili and couldn't help asking, "Goddess, where is the male divine messenger?"
Jiang Lili's expression froze for a moment: "He's not hungry."
Xi Chengyun stopped talking immediately. He didn't know where he had touched the saint's sore spot, but it was better for him to shut up first.
After Jida and the Moon Clan members took their seats, he raised his glass towards Jiang Lili and said, "Thank you, goddess, for saving my life. I'd like to toast you."
Jiang Lili raised her glass in response. After downing it, she took advantage of everyone being present and got straight to the point. "I wonder if Brother Jedda and the other Moon Tribe folks have come across the lost horses from our Seashell Ranch?"
"They went missing four days ago. Thirty-two horses in all."
Wen Qiao had already asked the Yue tribe branch where Yue Ning was, and those Yue people had never seen even a single horse hair, let alone such a large group of horses.
After hearing Jiang Lili's words, Jida repeated Jiang Lili's question loudly and asked the tribesmen to pass it on and ask each of them one by one.
He then replied to Jiang Lili, "No horses have appeared on our mountain. Is it your mount that's missing, goddess? We will do our best to find it for you."
Jiang Lili smiled gratefully: "Thank you."
Jiang Lili relayed the words of the Moon people to the four herdsmen. Although the four herdsmen were dull and timid, they were not that stupid.
Considering the way he had seen Yue Ning kill wild boars before, he guessed that it was most likely the royal family of Mi Kingdom who was behind this, and they were deceived by the leader they trusted most.
They also knew they might encounter danger as they went up the mountain. Without the goddess, they would be in great danger if they encountered wild boars, or if they didn't speak the same language, they would likely anger the Moon Tribe. The royal family didn't take their lives seriously at all.
Thinking of this, the four of them lost their appetite and had a hard time eating.
Soon, Wen Qiao arrived with the Moon Clan members guarding the tribe's entrance. Seeing Jiang Lili surrounded by delicious food and gifts, like the moon surrounded by stars, Wen Qiao smiled brightly and said, "You're a little late. It seems our goddess has already revealed her magical powers."
Jiang Lili smiled and said, "Not too late, not too late, just in time for dinner."
When Jida saw the patrolling guards bringing back a strange woman, he immediately became wary. But when he saw that Jiang Lili was familiar with this woman, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Lili curiously, "Is this also a divine messenger? How did she find this place?"
Before Jiang Lili could say anything, the Moon Clan member who came with Wen Qiao presented the parchment scroll that Wen Qiao had given him to Jeddah.
Behind the parchment scroll are words written by the chief of the Moon Tribe to the Moon Tribe branch.
When Jida saw the words written on the parchment that Wen Qiao, the messenger of God, took turns to knock down the strong warriors of their Moon Clan, he widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Wen Qiao in disbelief.
