Chapter 51: Feather Tribe
"My dear mother," Ye asked Qin Ke to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "could the whereabouts of the large monster I discovered back then be..."
"It shouldn't happen, the time just doesn't match up." Lu Ning shook his head.
It was almost two months ago that Ye Rang Qinke entered the mountain, and according to the White Fish Priest, it was only a short time ago that the water-feeding golden-eyed beast destroyed the Feiyu tribe and headed to the Blue Mountains.
.
But remembering what Folic acid had said about the ability of the water-feeding golden-eyed beast to "call for wind and rain", Lu Ning was inexplicably reminded of the recent abnormal flooding of the Baihe River.
Shaking his head, Lu Ning drove the matter out of his mind.
If the sky falls, there will be tall men holding it up. Even if the water-feeding golden-eyed beast really appears, it won't be their turn to hold up the newly established small tribe. There will also be those large tribes in the Dalu tribe and the clergy practitioners in the temple.
.
He was now going to receive the twenty people from the Feiyu tribe under the leadership of Folic Suan, while Ye Rang Qinke was going to register the goods, so he left first.
"Uncle, how did you and my uncle meet?"
Folic acid asked.
"...I am only twenty-three years old this year." Lu Ning said with a dark face.
"Hmm... I can't tell." Folic acid turned around and came up to take a closer look. "I really can't tell. He looks like he is thirty-two years old... No, he looks like he is sixty-two years old. He can't be an ordinary person.
, must be a beggar."
This really can't be blamed on Folic Acid. The main reason is that Lu Ning's current image is indeed a bit different from that of young people.
It has been almost four months since Lu Ning came into this world. In the early days, Lu Ning spent most of his time struggling for survival and had no time or inclination to take care of his appearance.
Later, although Lu Ning no longer worried about survival, he began to become very busy again. Apart from washing his face and taking a bath every day, he did not do any special tidying up for himself.
What does Lu Ning look like now? To put it simply, he can barely be seen as a human being.
His hair has grown to past his shoulders and is disheveled. His beard is also quite thick, even covering his mouth and chin.
In addition, Lu Ning was wearing a thick fur coat that was out of season.
If Lu Ning didn't say anything and poked there, others might even think it was a monster instead of a person standing there if they didn't look carefully.
Of course, Lu Ning is not the only one like this.
In fact, Chang Jiang, Su Susu and Li Yuanzhou, who are far away in the tribe now, look much rougher than Lu Ningke.
Lu Ning stood in front of a white stone basin in the center of the lobby, took a look at himself, touched the beard on his chin, and brushed his hair.
"It does seem a bit unseemly." Lu Ning thought about it for a moment.
Although Lu Ning himself doesn't care much about this, as the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. It will definitely be more difficult to convince others if he appears in front of others with such a dejected look begging for food.
"Yes, yes." Folic Suan also agreed with Lu Ning's idea, "People in the tribe value this the most. Being good-looking and wearing gorgeous clothes means that they have high status and a good life, and others are willing to believe and follow. Otherwise, it means that
His life is not good and his status is low, so he might be looked down upon."
"It's a pity that Boss Ye has gone to register the goods. I'll wait for him here. If you have anything to do, you can go ahead and don't worry about me." Lu Ning said to Folic Sour.
"Why are you waiting for him!" Folic acid raised his head, "Leave it to me!"
"But you don't want to learn arithmetic..."
"Don't mention this!" Folic acid looked carefully at the direction of the White Fish Priest's office, "My head will explode if I learn from it. Hey, in any case, just leave it to me, and I promise to clean it up nicely for you.
It’s so bright, everyone who sees it will be applauded!”
"Why should I be beautiful..." Before Lu Ning could refuse, Folic acid grabbed his sleeve and ran towards the palace.
"Well... let's do some hair first. Uncle, do you want long or short hair?"
"Uh... keep it short."
"Okay."
Folic acid was holding a bronze knife and gesticulating on the top of Lu Ning's head, which made Lu Ning tremble.
"Be careful, don't open a hole for me."
"Don't worry, I did all the hair of the White Fish Priest." Folic acid said.
Lu Ning thought of the neat hairstyle of the White Fish Priest and felt a little relieved.
Folic acid was giving Lu Ning a haircut while chatting with him.
Due to the beliefs of this world, although Folic acid wanted to give him a short hair, it was actually not too short, but it was still much better than before.
Afterwards, he shaved off his beard, and Folic acid took him to the place where supplies were stored in the temple and got him a set of cloth clothes and a black robe.
Lu Ning looked at the water and felt like he was completely renewed.
"Wow...he's really not an uncle," Folic Suan's eyes lit up, "He's so handsome!"
"Sorry to trouble you." Lu Ning thanked Folic Suan.
"Don't, don't say that," Folic acid waved his hands in panic, "You are my uncle's friend and you saved my uncle's life. I should help you. I only have a relative like my uncle, so I should thank you. That
, it’s getting late, let’s go.”
Lu Ning nodded, it was time to meet the Feiyu tribe people.
…
"Didn't the priest say that he would arrange a place for us to go and that someone would come soon? It's been a long time, why haven't we come yet?"
In a side courtyard of the temple, a group of people were waiting anxiously.
"The priest is not lying to us, is he?" A person squatting on the steps asked in a low voice.
"Nonsense!" A burly man standing next to him glared angrily, "Who is the priest? How could he deceive low-class people like us?"
"But……"
"Shut up, everyone."
A middle-aged man who was leaning against a stone pillar with his eyes closed and concentrating spoke, and the two of them immediately lowered their heads.
Silence spread in the courtyard.
Suddenly, two footsteps broke the silence.
Everyone unanimously looked towards the direction where the footsteps came from.
"You must be friends of the Feiyu tribe. Hello, I am Lu Ning, the leader of the Yongle tribe."
Lu Ning came to stand in front of everyone.
"...Are you kidding me?"
The man who was squatting on the steps slowly stood up and muttered something in a low voice.
"Why is the leader of this tribe such a brat?"
Although the people in their twenties are no longer considered a "little kid" for the tribesmen, they are already the main force in working and hunting.
But as the leader of the tribe, this age seems too young.
"You're not trying to frame us."
Lu Ning did not interrupt everyone's low-pitched discussion. After a while, the discussion gradually became lower and then stopped.
"I am indeed the leader of the Yongle tribe. And I can also tell you that our tribe is just a new tribe that was just established today. There are only four people in total including me."
Lu Ning's words caused another round of discussion among the crowd, and the dissatisfaction mixed with it was more obvious than the previous two times.
"What's going on? The priest just handed us over to such a small place?"
"Let's go talk to the priest. Our Feiyu tribe used to be a large tribe. We should be allowed to join the Dalu tribe. Even if that doesn't work, we can go to the Blackbird tribe!"
