Chapter 48
When I pushed open the gate, what came into view was four or five snow werewolves lying on the ground in a mess. Ashan and Notting were kicking each other's faces, and Xu and Xiangcao were sleeping with their legs spread out in a state of disarray.
On the other side, Qi was holding Yu Sui, who had turned into a little silver wolf. They were sleeping in different postures, wearing only animal skins.
The corners of Chief Bangber's mouth twitched a few times. In this kind of weather, he didn't sleep on the kang but preferred to sleep outside. He didn't know what kind of weird habit this snow werewolf had.
Heiyan used his height to look out the window. In the room, there was only a golden cub sleeping on the snow-white fur, looking insignificant on the huge kang.
Hearing their movements, several people woke up from their sleep.
Yu Sui rubbed his eye sockets with his furry paws, and then he could clearly see Uncle Heiyan and the two dwarves standing in front of him with different expressions.
His house was close to the dwarves, and several female dwarves walked in to the gate one after another, followed by people watching the fun.
He quickly got out of Qi's arms. He fell asleep at some point yesterday. He wasn't as cold-resistant as others, so he transformed into a beast and struggled to get into Qi's arms...
Oh my god, Qi won’t think I’m taking advantage of you on purpose, I hope. I was so sleepy at that time that Yu Sui didn’t go into the house. If I had known earlier, it would have been so nice to sleep in his warm bed. I must have been possessed by the devil last night and slept outside with them.
He hid in the house holding his clothes and put them on, then walked out embarrassedly.
Heiyan was helpless with these children, especially after seeing Notting and Ashan pushing and shoving each other as soon as they opened their eyes, his expression became even more helpless.
"Okay, go do what you need to do and don't make trouble here."
He scolded softly.
Qi turned around and glanced at Yu Sui. Contrary to his usual behavior, he chose not to stay. He walked out the door first under Xu's inquiring gaze, but he couldn't suppress the curve of his lips.
Knowing that several people came for wool, Vanilla was also very interested in this matter and took the initiative to ask Heiyan to stay and study together.
Knowing that she was dexterous, Heiyan agreed readily.
The few people who were full of curiosity could only follow Qi and leave.
Chief Bangbo also brought the knitting needles he had made and took his tribesmen to Yu Sui's warm kang to learn how to knit sweaters.
Yu Sui really wanted to teach his tribe members how to knit sweaters and trousers, but he had only knitted scarves with his roommates in college. Later, when he learned that his roommates were knitting for their girlfriends, he felt deeply humiliated and never finished the scarves.
He still remembers the general techniques, so let them study the rest slowly. Once they have a starting point, it will be easier to study other things.
You can't expect him to knit sweaters and woolen trousers. Although he is not a straight man, he doesn't have this hobby. It's too late to regret now.
If I had known earlier, I would have paid more attention to how the adults in the village knitted sweaters. At that time, I only listened to gossip about family matters.
Yu Sui thought with regret.
Several female dwarves, Barlow and Vanilla sat cross-legged on the kang, imitating him by picking up wool with knitting needles in both hands.
However, Yu Sui was also a half-baked person, so the few of them gathered together to discuss with each other. After they gradually got better, Yu Sui, who was clumsy, wisely stopped participating.
The scarf is the easiest to knit, but as for the gloves, sweaters, trousers and hats, they all need to be knitted more slowly. Several people were so engrossed in knitting, especially Vanilla. She always thought that what she loved most was fighting, but now she found that there are things that can attract her more.
Yu Sui retired after achieving success and gave his own kang to them.
The two clan leaders who were watching them work with a smile stood up from their chairs when they saw him coming down.
Uncle Heiyan kindly called him over, touched his head and led him out.
"Chief Bomber and I discussed this all night before we made the decision. Besides the knitting work, we came here today to tell you something."
Yu Sui's curiosity was aroused by Uncle Kuroiwa's mysterious attitude, but he couldn't figure out what important things he needed to tell him alone.
Yu Sui couldn't help but look between the two clan leaders with a puzzled look.
But Uncle Heiyan and Chief Bangbo held their tongue all the way. When they arrived at Uncle Heiyan's house, Aunt Lu came out to greet them with a smile on her face. It was obvious from her expression that she knew what was going on.
Confused by them, Yu Sui entered the room and was about to ask questions before even sitting down.
Seeing his intention, Black Rock and Bombur looked at each other and spoke in the tone of the Big Bad Wolf.
"Xiao Yu Sui, we discussed it last night. It's not a good idea for the Black Rock Tribe and the Tu Tribe to be neighbors like this. It's hard to distinguish between many tasks and things."
Yu Sui's heart skipped a beat. Would the dwarves be asked to return to their original place of residence next year? Wouldn't all his efforts to persuade Qi be in vain? Then he thought that there was no need to talk to him alone about such matters, so he controlled his temper and continued to listen.
Chief Bangbo also said kindly, "So we decided to merge the two tribes. Although there is no precedent for this, everyone has adapted to it after living together for some time."
Yu Sui wholeheartedly supports this decision!
Only when intelligent races gather together can they make the best use of their strengths and live a better life. The 56 ethnic groups in their flower-growing country still live in harmony. This is the experience of their ancestors!
He sat on the straw mat in Uncle Heiyan's house with bright eyes and felt relaxed.
Heiyan met his eyes and felt a little guilty when he thought about the decision they made last night.
"But after we merge into one tribe, no matter whether Bombur or I becomes the chief, the people of the other tribe will be dissatisfied. They will definitely not think of it as a merger, but more like surrendering to the other side."
This is indeed a problem. Whether it is a dwarf or a snow werewolf, they all have their own pride in their hearts.
Especially since the dwarves have been captured as slaves by humans for so many years, they must be both sensitive and resistant to this aspect.
Even the simple-minded Snow Wolf Man would not be willing to be someone else's vassal.
Bombur and Heiyan found it difficult to speak the rest of the words, and both looked at Midori with pleading eyes.
Lu rolled his eyes at the two of them. He was straightforward when he made the decision last night, but today he felt embarrassed.
"They both plan to make you the leader of the new tribe."
She said it concisely.
"Ah? No, no, I can't. I'm still a cub. Even if I'm an adult, you can't let me do it. Any member of the tribe is much stronger than me!"
Yu Sui was horrified and quickly refused.
What a joke, not to mention that in the original book it was Qi who succeeded as the clan leader, even if it was someone else, it wouldn’t be his turn!
He was still a thirty-year-old cub! He hadn't even been a squad leader yet, so suddenly he was asked to be the leader of the entire tribe. He really couldn't handle it!
The most important thing is that his poor health is known to the whole tribe. Orcs and dwarves worship strength so much, how can he be worthy of it?
Seeing his excited reaction, Lu hurriedly made him a cup of hot juice. Xiaoyu still had a lot of honey and jam, which was just right for entertaining guests.
Yu Sui's reaction was within their expectations, and Uncle Heiyan continued with a smile.
"We've thought about it. It would be hard for anyone to accept the position of chief except the two of us. Originally, I planned to let Qi, who is strong, take over. Chief Bangber chose Rob, who is skilled in forging."
"But now that the two tribes have merged, neither strength nor our dwarven forging skills are the key points. What's most important is that people from both tribes recognize them."
Chief Bangber took a sip of the sweet honey water, and the wrinkles on his forehead smoothed out.
"So you chose me? The one who's not good at anything is the most suitable?"
Yu Sui muttered dejectedly, thinking that if they found someone who posed no threat to either party, neither party would feel disgusted.
Laughing out loud, Black Rock and Bombur were both amused by the cub and laughed so hard that they fell over.
"If that's the case, there are many candidates, and I won't let you, a young cub, take on such a big responsibility." Uncle Heiyan straightened up and patted Yu Sui's head.
"Don't you feel it yourself? Both the Snow Werewolf and the Dwarf recognize you very much."
Yu Sui shook his head in confusion. He knew that everyone was taking good care of him, but that was probably because he was a cub.
Midori and her mate smiled at each other, their eyes softening as they looked at the cub.
"How many kinds of food have you added to the tribe? Do you still need us to count?"
"Besides, wasn't the cafeteria your idea? You even discovered the materials used to build it."
After they finished speaking, Bombur continued, "You were the one who came up with these building materials, and most importantly, the paper. We dwarves don't like to take advantage, but we can't repay you for your ideas. No dwarf would reject you as the leader."
The biggest reason why he did all this was actually to make himself live more comfortably... He didn't expect that his tribesmen would remember it in their hearts, which made Yu Sui feel a little ashamed.
But it was still too outrageous to let him be the clan leader, and Yu Sui still found it difficult to accept.
"I'm too young, and I don't know how to be a good clan leader..."
Hearing that his tone had softened a lot, Heiyan continued to persuade him.
"The tribe cannot be without a chief. You are indeed still young, so we can help you. Qi, Xu, Notting and the others are all at your disposal."
Bombur saw the look Black Rock gave him and quickly agreed, "Right, right, right. You're still a little cub. You can tell others to do anything you don't know how to do. You know Rob Barlow and the others well. Let them do it."
Although Uncle Heiyan and Chief Bangbo had said so, Yu Sui still felt like he was being forced to do something he was not supposed to do. He couldn't help but struggle, "But I..."
Lu refilled his juice soothingly with a loving smile.
"Xiao Yu, aren't you planning to farm next year? Think about it, then you can direct them to do the work yourself. Your uncle Heiyan doesn't know how to farm either, so it would be much easier if you could do it yourself."
Aunt Lu's words touched Yu Sui's heart. Thinking about it this way, it was indeed true. If he became the clan leader, wouldn't he be the one to decide on farming? He could plant whatever he wanted and cultivate as much land as he wanted...
Looking forward to the bright future, Yu Sui couldn't help but smile foolishly.
How can a flower grower refuse such a thing? It's so exciting!
He looked around at the three of them hesitantly, "What if the tribe members don't agree?"
It worked! Heiyan slapped his thigh happily.
Bombur smiled brightly, "We have already agreed to gather the tribesmen in the dining hall tonight to announce this matter."
It happened so quickly that he could imagine the surprised faces of the crowd. When Yu Sui thought about it, he strangely felt a delicate balance in his heart.
"You can go there in the evening as well. It's a good opportunity to see everyone's reactions. That way you can feel at ease."
Uncle Heiyan comforted him when he saw that he was still hesitant.
Yu Sui also thought that if the tribesmen did not agree, he would not have to be the tribe leader. If they agreed, he would just go ahead and do it without any worries.
Sure enough, near dusk, the two clan leaders called everyone to the cafeteria.
Since the beginning of winter, the tribe's activities have been greatly reduced. This is the first time that the tribe leader has called them all to the cafeteria, and the snow wolves are a little confused.
All the snow wolves, whether they were idle or busy, were called over. The orcs were very casual, and it was rare for the tribe to gather everyone together in such a solemn manner.
Especially when they saw the dwarves of the Tu tribe in the cafeteria, the Snow Wolves felt even more surprised. They whispered to each other and guessed the intention of the chief.
Vanilla, who had just figured out some knitting techniques, was called to the cafeteria with a bad look on her face. Notting, who was standing next to her, wanted to talk to her, but seeing this, he turned his head and talked to someone else next to him.
After a while, the two clan leaders brought Yu Sui to the front of the cafeteria. Yu Sui was quite nervous as he looked at the hundreds of heads of different colors in front of him.
Seeing Yu Sui's figure, Qi, who was standing in front, frowned slightly. After his eyes moved between the three people, his expression relaxed.
Raising his hand to signal for silence, Heiyan spoke first, "After observing for a while, Chief Bangber and I have unanimously decided to merge the two tribes into one."
The crowd was a little noisy, but that was expected, so it didn't cause much commotion.
Heiyan looked at Chief Bangber, as he was the one who should announce the next big news.
The people from both tribes also turned their eyes to him.
Chief Bangbo pushed the somewhat timid Yu Sui to the front and said with a smile, "Yu Sui will be the chief of our tribe from now on. This is what Chief Heiyan and I have agreed on."
This news was no less than a bombshell, and everyone immediately exclaimed in surprise. Letting a cub become the patriarch had never happened before, whether among the dwarves or the orcs!
Yu Sui's face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet in shame.
"Xiao Yu Sui is so smart, even if he's just a cub, he can definitely be the clan leader!"
He was originally very shocked by this matter, but after seeing Xiao Yu's pitiful eyes, Xu hurriedly shouted to suppress the questioning voices behind him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of the questioning crowd became quieter.
Xiaoyu is indeed very smart and good at cooking. He probably won’t go hungry this winter. He even thought of such a convenient canteen, the Snow Wolves thought to themselves.
The dwarf did not refute this point. Whether it was bricks and cement used in construction or improving the transparency of glass, and even better paper than parchment, they were all proposed by this cub.
Any one of these is enough to prove his intelligence and talent. Compared with these, age does not seem to be a problem. After all, many people cannot make any of these items even if they live for hundreds of years.
