Song Benhua was also shocked to see Cui Shize. He exclaimed, “Prime
Minister!’
Everyone looked confused. How did this native know Cui Shize?
When Cui Shize heard his shout, he immediately confirmed that this was the Minister of Justice, Song Benhua, who had been exiled by the Yan Kingdom’s emperor.
Cui Shize walked forward excitedly. “Brother Song, why are you here?”
Song Benhua said, “It’s a long story!’
He had offended the emperor of the Yan Kingdom. On the way to the border, he encountered a sandstorm and was the only one who survived in the entire exile team.
He walked around aimlessly like a walking corpse and arrived at the southern frontier. By chance, he saved the tribe leader with his minimal medical skills and stayed to become the priest of their tribe.
A few days ago, the old clan leader died, and his most outstanding daughter, Duo, became the new clan leader.
Song Benhua had already treated this tribe as his home and Duo as his daughter. Seeing Duo tied up, he immediately said, “Prime Minister, I’ll make them submit. Can you let our clan leader go?”
The southern frontier had already been annexed by the Ling Kingdom. Their tribe only had a few hundred people and was unable to resist them at all.
He trusted Cui Shize’s character very much. Even if he submitted, he would not treat them badly.
It was naturally good that he could take the initiative to submit. Cui Shize immediately went to report to Chu Tianbao.
Chu Tianbao said, “Ask him to come over and explain it to her.”
If Duo refused to bring her clansmen to submit, he would definitely not let her live.
Song Benhua removed the linen from Duo’s mouth and communicated with her in the language of their tribe.
After an intense argument, Duo finally compromised. Song Benhua said to Chu
Tianbao, ‘We’re willing to submit.”
He wanted to negotiate terms with Chu Tianbao, but in front of Chu Tianbao, their tribe was just an egg thrown at a rock. If they were obedient, they might leave a good impression.
Chu Tianbao did not say anything else and got someone to loosen the rope for Duo.
As soon as the rope was released, Duo rushed out like an arrow. She rode on Huang Zhong’s neck and snatched the banana. She swore loudly, ‘This is mine! Mine!”
Huang Zhong was afraid that she would hit him, so he covered his head and shouted, “Yours, yours!!!’
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but snicker. So it was a bloodbath caused by a banana.
Since Duo’s tribe had chosen to submit, they were a part of the team.
Cui Shize immediately asked how many people there were in the tribe and if they were willing to move out of the mountains to live with everyone.
Of course, if they were unwilling, they would not force them.
If they were willing, they would have to divide a new area and let them live alone.
After all, their survival habits were basically different from everyone’s.
Song Benhua needed to discuss it with Duo. He shouted and Duo immediately rushed over.
She was energetic, simple, and innocent, causing the men around her to want to look but not dare to.
Many women even covered their husbands’ eyes.
Duo had no concept of living with everyone. She asked Song Benhua a few questions, “Where are we going to live with them? How are we going to split the hunted prey? Also, who are you going to listen to in the future?’
Song Benhua explained one by one, “We’ll live in a house with everyone. Then, we’ll farm and raise animals. Then, we’ll always have food to eat. In the future, you’ll listen to me. I’ll listen to their arrangements.”
Duo was used to being carefree in the mountains. She curled her lips in disdain and said, “What’s the difference between that and us in the mountains? We also have houses and can collect food and raise animals.”
Song Benhua said patiently, “Our house in the mountains is damp in summer and cold in winter. If we live with them, we can live in a very big and beautiful house. Not only are there no insects, but winter is as mild as summer.”
“We need to collect food in the mountains to survive the winter. Ifwe don’t collect enough food, we won’t be able to survive the winter smoothly. However , farming can guarantee that there will be enough food every year and our people won’t starve. In addition, there will be doctors who can treat everyone’s illnesses and don’t have to face any danger of wild beasts.”
Now that he said that, it seemed like it was not a bad idea to live with them. Duo was silent for a while. Just as she was about to agree, she suddenly saw that the surroundings were still bare and there was no house at all. She immediately said, “You’re lying. How can there be a house! The place they live in is not as good as my house!”
Everyone had just moved here, so of course they could not transform a house immediately.
Song Benhua knew her temper. If he did not let her see it with her own eyes, she would definitely not relent.
In the mountains, the civilization of the tribe developed slowly, but it was peaceful and stable. It was considered beautiful.
It was indeed good that it could continue like this, but Chu Tianbao and the others were already in front of them. Even if they did not leave the mountain, they would definitely interact frequently in the future.
If the tribe fell behind, the people would be beaten up and discriminated against. Song Benhua was deeply afraid.
It was better to try to integrate with society now so that it would not arouse too much resistance in the future.
Song Benhua also wanted Duo to know that there were many different beautiful things in this world. He smiled and said, “The house is not built yet. When it’s built, we can move in.”
Afraid that Duo would not believe her, he specially borrowed Cui Shize’s blueprint and showed her the internal structure of the house.
It was such a big house, and there were many strange things inside. Although she didn’t know what they were used for, she felt that they were beautiful. Duo said in disbelief, “We can all live in such a house?”
Song Benhua nodded. “As long as you’re willing, we can move in.”
Duo’s eyes lit up. “Then what are we going to eat if we move out now? Do we have to hunt ourselves?”
Song Benhua had already asked Cui Shize. He smiled and said, ‘We’ll eat with them after we move out. We don’t have to hunt. If we want to hunt, we have to go when we’re resting.”
Duo asked curiously, ‘Why?”
Song Benhua said, “Just like our tribe, the more capable our clansmen are, the more food they get. Ifwe want to live in a good house, we have to abide by the rules they set. We also have to take responsibility to receive the corresponding returns.”
“These returns are not only limited to exchanging for food, houses, and comfortable clothes to ward off the cold. There are many good things you’ve never seen before.”
Duo didn’t like being restrained, but Song Benhua made it sound beautiful. She nodded. “All right, then. When are we moving in?”
Song Benhua smiled. ‘There’s no hurry. I’ll go negotiate with them. If you’re interested in the surroundings, you can walk around. If you have any questions, ask them in Mandarin. Don’t attack, understand?”
He was always so long-winded. Duo waved her hand to show that she understood and went straight for Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong was afraid when he saw her coming and wanted to hide behind his uncle.
However, Ye Wu carried him to Duo and even reprimanded, “Why are you so timid as a man! A girl is looking for you. Straighten your chest!”
Huang Zhong braced himself and straightened. In the next second, Duo pounced on him and took off his coat. She put it on and said proudly, “It’s mine..”
