Upon hearing this, Haitang's lips twitched. "Let's just watch and see." This matter didn't concern her tribe, so Haitang had no intention of getting involved. She would let Ximing handle his own affairs.
Yueyue nodded in agreement. Under these circumstances, Haitang and the others waited for the commotion outside. Finally, the tribesmen stepped in and made Ximing and the others compensate for the hides. Under these circumstances, every beastman's face was extremely ugly.
Lizard Ming started kicking things, and the orc next to him did the same, their eyes filled with ferocity and despair. "Damn it, what is this? We are the victims, and now we have to compensate others? What kind of world is this?"
"If you don't pay compensation, you'll be expelled." Upon hearing this, an orc said, and everyone fell silent.
Because what can be said? Everyone understands one thing, which is... if we're expelled from here, where can we go?
Haitang was watching the wind pick up in her room, while Ximing was sitting alone in his room with a female beside him.
Their small branch has very few females; some have run away, and some have stayed. Most of them are sentimental. "Ximing, don't be sad."
“I’m not sad, I’m just thinking about what we should do next? Should we leave here?” Upon hearing this, the female paused slightly, and Ximing looked at the female in front of him.
“I know of a valley in the desert. I’ve wandered into it before. There’s not much prey there, but enough for all of us. And I saw that there are just as many plants there as here. We could go there to live,” Ximing said, looking at the female beside him.
"Leave...Are you crazy? There are only a few dozen of us. How are we supposed to survive if we leave?" Yes, how are a tribe of only a few dozen people supposed to survive if they leave?
“Have you heard of the Tiger Clan? I’ve heard that other tribes of about a hundred people have survived, and so can we… We can set up a checkpoint in that valley, and then a few dozen people can live there. We can raise livestock and grow crops, just like Haitang said.” He looked at the female and said, “You should understand that if we stay, we’ll be drained sooner or later.”
The tribe's people are not just small branches of people, but especially those of several dozen people. They take advantage of the fact that the tribe's people dare not leave, so they shamelessly bully them. When the female heard this, she fell silent.
"The storm will subside in a few days, I'll talk to the people in the smaller branches." Hearing this, the female pursed her lips but didn't say anything more.
The next day, Haitang looked at Ximing, who was actually telling Yueyue about leaving the tribe. Yueyue didn't understand why Ximing was saying this. "Why are you telling me this?"
"The things on your bodies... You've been to the Tiger Clan, haven't you? Did you go to the Tiger Clan to learn?" He looked at Haitang and the others and said, "I would like to ask you to teach us. I plan to take people away to live in that valley. Once we learn how to raise animals and grow crops, we won't have to worry about food."
"Why do you think we've been to the Tiger Clan?" It wasn't someone from the Tiger Clan who asked this; Lizard Ming looked at the group in front of him.
"Because your fabric and clothes... I've seen them in other tribes, and I heard they belong to the Tiger Tribe." These are markings unique to the Tiger Tribe, so... in this situation, it's understandable to wonder if they might be from the Tiger Tribe.
However, he quickly shook his head. Why would the Tiger Clan come here? He didn't think about it anymore, only assuming that Haitang and the others probably went to the Tiger Clan to learn something after hearing the rumors.
Upon hearing this, Yueyue glanced at the crabapple tree not far away and said, "We can leave together then. I can tell you about these things on the way."
“Okay.” Yueyue didn’t think anything was wrong. If the other person was learning, she could teach them. Making more friends would be a good thing for her. Hearing this, Ximing immediately became happy.
The next day, Ximing went to his branch and said, "What else do you want? Are you going to keep putting up with this? Our branch originally had more than a dozen females, but they were all taken away."
The young and beautiful ones are snatched away, while the older ones are left behind. Whether you like it or not, the young and beautiful ones will be taken away.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. They knew in their hearts that this place could not be left behind, yet they were also afraid of the outside world. Xi Ming began to brainwash everyone.
Under Ximing's brainwashing, many people agreed, and those who disagreed had no choice but to comply, because this incident made everyone realize that the possibility of having to pay compensation for stealing food could occur at any time.
If you don't want to see this happen again, then you can only leave. The road ahead is long, and some people don't want to leave, but they also understand... what can they do if they stay?
As for the small branch wanting to leave, no one stopped them, because many people thought it was suicidal. Xi Ming had his people pack their things and set off after the sandstorm stopped. Haitang followed directly into the crowd. While in the crowd, Haitang looked at the distance not far away.
"Those idiots, Ximing, think they can just leave? Fools... I'll see what happens when they get bullied by other tribes. They won't be crying then." Just a few dozen people, and they think they can leave.
"Yeah, you idiots. So what if you get bullied? Just tough it out." Hearing this, many people nearby nodded in agreement, thinking that Ximing and the others were morons.
In fact, Ximing is not stupid. The reason he left was because of Haitang. The food Haitang gave him and the things she taught him were very important to them. Moreover, even while he was away, eating was something that would help his tribe develop better.
