Chapter 312: Going into the forest to find the patriarch
"Chen Ling——!" Yan Ruozhen saw that he was hanging on a super high wooden crossbar and ran over quickly. Because he ran in such a hurry, he fell down on a stone and fell into pieces.
He fell directly in front of Lanlan's feet.
"What the hell? Another outsider has arrived." Lan Lan spat out something.
"Ruocheng, how are you? Did you get hurt? Why didn't you look at the road?" Huang Chenling watched her embarrassing fall from above, wanting to scold her but also worried about calling her.
Na Xiao ran over to help her up and asked, "Did you get any injuries from the fall?"
She patted her knees to cover her scratched palms and said, "I'm fine."
Lanlan came over and pulled her scratched palm, took out some herbs from her waist bag, applied it on her palm, and pulled off the headband to bandage it.
Yan Ruozhen felt very embarrassed, so she awkwardly thanked her: "Thank you."
"Girl, he is our friend, can you do me a favor and put him down?" Na Xiao pointed at Huang Chenling and Lan Lan and explained in tribal language.
Lan Lan shook her head and said: "No, he has soiled the forest land of Fengshen. He must be baptized by the punishment of sunlight before he can let go."
Na Xiao guessed that Huang Chenling's recuperation was not the cause of the trouble, and continued to ask: "He soiled the forest, do you mean he relieved himself in the forest?"
"Yes, this forest symbolizes the great wind god and is the earth protected by our clan. No one will be allowed to destroy its plants and trees." Lanlan explained to Naxiao while making gestures of praying for blessings.
explain.
Yan Ruocheng stood aside, as if listening to a foreign language, not knowing what they were discussing.
When Lanlan wasn't paying attention, she quietly went over and tried to untie the rope hanging Huang Chenling.
Because the knot was too tight, she couldn't untie it for a while. Lanlan noticed that she was untying the rope and immediately pushed her away. The stern Biao said in tribal language: "If you mess around again, even you will be hung up too."
!”
"I don't know what you're talking about, but he's weak and we can't keep hanging him in the sun like this!" Yan Ruocheng said directly.
Naxiao sighed, came over and stood between them, and persuaded Yan Ruocheng: "She said you can't untie the rope, otherwise you will be hung up too. Ruocheng, please don't be impulsive. I think the people in this tribe
We should be able to use money to resolve the conflict. Let’s go meet their clan leader first and see what he wants before he is willing to let them go.”
"What you said makes sense. Let's meet the clan leader first." Yan Ruocheng calmed down and followed his suggestion.
Then, Na Xiao turned to Lan Lan and said, "We want to meet your clan leader, can you take us there?"
Lanlan crossed her arms and said, "I have to take care of this person. If you can't take a step away, I'll ask another person to come over and take you there."
After saying that, she shouted towards the man who was drying wool not far away: "Anka, come here."
Anga walked over blankly and asked: "Sister Lan, what are your orders?"
"Do me a favor and take these two outsiders to find the clan leader. Please remember where the clan leader is." Lan Lan warned.
Anga nodded and replied a little stupidly: "Well, I probably remember, so I won't get lost."
"Okay, then you take them there and I'll give you maltose when they come back." Lanlan touched Anka's head with a smile, turned to Yan Ruocheng and the others, and said, "Follow him to find the clan leader. The clan leader lives here."
Somewhere in the forest."
Yan Ruocheng and Na Xiao stared at the young man named Anka. From his actions, it could be seen that he had some problems with his IQ. They were worried that if this man was responsible for leading the way, he would get lost.
Yan Ruozhen secretly tugged on Na Xiao, signaling him to tell Lan Lan that someone else should lead the way.
"Girl, can someone else lead the way? I don't think this young man is very good at it." Na Xiao said with some worry.
"No, everyone in the tribe has his or her own job and cannot step away. The only exception is Anga. Don't worry, he should remember the way. If he gets lost, we can find him. You are the best
It's better to go find the clan leader early, as the clan leader will go elsewhere after nightfall." Lanlan said calmly.
Na Xiao went over helplessly and said to Yan Ruocheng: "She said that this person is the only one in the tribe who is free to take us to find the clan leader. Let's leave quickly, otherwise the clan leader may go somewhere else."
Yan Ruozhen obeyed, raised his head and shouted to Huang Chenling: "Chenling, please be patient up there, we are going to find the clan leader and ask him to let you go."
"Then you go quickly!" Huang Chenling replied.
So, Yan Ruocheng and Na Xiao followed Anka and went into the forest again.
After walking for a while, Anka was attracted by a beautiful butterfly. He did not take the correct route and ran to another road.
"Why do I feel that we have gone the wrong way?" Yan Ruozhen said worriedly.
"No problem, that girl just said that he remembers the route." Na Xiao said nonchalantly.
"I hope he really remembers the route." Yan Ruocheng sighed helplessly.
In this way, they walked around the forest several times. They walked for an entire hour but still could not find the clan leader.
The sun was shining on the top of his head, and even though the temperature was gradually rising, Huang Chenling, who was directly exposed to the sun, began to feel a little dizzy. He simply closed his eyes and waited patiently. However, the rope that tied his body was very sore, which made him feel a little dizzy.
It's hard for him to be patient at all.
Yan Ruozhen walked over and was sweating all over. He wiped the sweat and said to Na Xiao: "Go over and ask him when he will leave. We have been walking for an hour, haven't we arrived yet?"
Na Xiao asked her to calm down, strode over, and asked An Ka with a smile: "Well, how long do we have to walk until we get to the clan leader?"
Anga shook his head and said with a silly smile: "We'll be there soon. Just keep walking and you'll be there."
Na Xiao was lucky that this silly guy could understand his non-standard tribal dialect, but he also felt that something was wrong, so he had no choice but to speak more clearly: "Hey, we have been walking for an hour, so it is time to arrive, right?"
Anga frowned, scratched his head and said, "I don't know. I usually find the clan leader soon after leaving. I wonder why it took so long this time?"
"Stop!" Na Xiao immediately stopped after hearing this.
"What's wrong? What did he say? Is he really going the wrong way?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
Na Xiao didn't want to spoil the fun. He nodded in agreement and said, "We took the wrong way, and we took the wrong hour."
"Scared! What should we do then? We still have to find the clan leader, so we can't waste time here." Yan Ruocheng was a little angry and walked over, pointed at Anka, and shouted loudly: "You are on the wrong path, you should do it."
Tell us, are you kidding us if you keep walking blindly?"
Anka saw her fierce look and was frightened by her. He hid by a bush in fear and cried out: "Ah, oh, oh, help, it's so scary, sister Lan, help me, oh, oh, oh..."
"
"Ruocheng! He is just a fool. No matter how worried you are about Huang Chenling, don't attack a fool and frighten him. What should you do?" Na Xiaoxun said.
"I know, I just made my voice a little louder for a moment. I'll just go over and coax him back." Yan Ruozhen puffed up and stamped his feet.
When she took a step closer, Anka ran away crying.
"Don't go there, let me coax her." Seeing this, Naxiao asked her to stop and came to coax Anka himself.
"Anka, don't be afraid. We have no malicious intentions. We were just anxious to find the clan leader. Because our friend was hung high in the sky to bask in the sun, we were afraid that he would die in the sun. I'm sorry, please come out.
, I have delicious osmanthus candy here, which is sweet and fragrant." Naxiao took out the osmanthus candy he was carrying, trying to lure him out like this.
Anka quietly took a look at the osmanthus candy in his hand. He wanted to eat it but was afraid that Yan Ruocheng would come over. He pointed at Yan Ruocheng angrily and said to Naxiao: "Tell this aunt to turn around and step back a few steps."
Only if I step forward can I dare to come out."
After Na Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a few times, and actually called Yan Ruocheng his aunt.
"What are you laughing at? What did he say while pointing at me?" Yan Ruocheng asked in confusion.
"He wants you to turn around, take a few steps back, and turn your back to him before he dares to come out." Na Xiao translated.
Yan Ruocheng had no choice but to turn around obediently and take a few steps back.
Only then did Anka come out, take the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and eat it eagerly.
"Anka, please think carefully about which path we are going to take now? What do you think is special about those paths?" Na Xiao asked tentatively to see if he could get any clues.
While eating sweet-scented osmanthus candy, Anka looked at the area with more thorny trees and said, "The patriarch likes to hide in places with thorns. Every time I go to look for him, he is stung very painfully."
"A thorny thorn tree? We seemed to have passed by one of the places covered with thorny trees just now." Yan Ruocheng recalled it and said to Na Xiao.
"Yes, maybe the clan leader is there. Let's go." Na Xiao nodded and said.
Anka didn't know how to go back, so he followed them not far behind.
They circled back to the place where they brought thorny thorn trees with them. However, there were so many thorny trees that if they tried to pass through this way, they would be stabbed by the thorn trees.
"I'll go there alone, Na Xiao, you wait for me here." Yan Ruocheng suggested, feeling that her petite figure could avoid some thorns.
Na Xiao completely disagreed and said: "Are you stupid? I understand their language. Of course I will go there. If you go there, how do you communicate with the clan leader? Please show me how to cover your hands and face. I don't want to be stabbed.
It hurts all over."
"Okay, let me hold the dagger for you. I'll help you wrap your hands first." Yan Ruocheng untied his coat, helped him wrap his hands, and then untied his belt to wrap around his handsome face. Try to avoid being stabbed.
risks of.
After getting ready, Na Xiao planned to shoot an arrow straight through the thorn bush.
"Wait for me here, I'm going to run straight over." After he finished speaking, he took a breath, shouted "Ah——!" and ran straight into the thorn bush. Before he reached the third step, he fell.
