Chapter 236: The Last Taoyuan Township
After a long journey, Rachel and the others, who had accelerated the process, began to have a relaxed smile on their faces, which made Zhu Xingzhen know that his group was about to reach their destination.
Sure enough, after walking a short distance to reach the Barren Canyon, Rachel and the others began to head towards a more remote location, and finally stopped at a more inconspicuous place in the canyon.
Zhuxingzhen, who followed Rachel here, took a closer look and found a crude entrance made of rocks, where there were obvious traces of manual processing, so it was not difficult to identify, and the actions of Rachel and the others also confirmed that Zhuxing's guess was not wrong.
Rachel and the Tut men carrying the food lit the torches placed at the entrance and walked into the slightly narrow dark passage, and the stars could only follow them towards the final journey of the gathering place.
The narrow passage was dark, but the light with torches was enough for Rachel and the others to make out their way home. The stars were careful not to bump into the rock walls on either side of the sleeping girl in their arms, while Rachel led the rest of the strong men to open the heavy stone gates in the passage, which may be the last line of defense against the alien hunters in the gathering place...
These stone gates are very cumbersome to open outside the canyon passage, and they also require a specific unlocking method to open, but they are very quick to open inside the gathering place, and there is no need to worry about the stone gate being disturbed by the stone gate when they are urgently moved.
The five stone gates leading to the gathering place were made quite fast by Rachel's skillful technique, but in nearly half an hour, Rachel had successfully opened and closed the stone gates, and returned to the Tut gathering place with the people, and at this time, Zhu Xingzhen also saw the general appearance of this last gathering place.
The entire gathering place is built in a hollowed-out mountain, and the high top of the mountain is flooded with sunlight from the outside world, so that the inside can receive the sunlight from the outside world, so that the people who have taken refuge here will not live in darkness.
However, such a gathering place can withstand the aggression of the aliens, and unless they can break through the five heavy stone gates outside, or jump directly from the hollow on the top of the towering mountain, it will be difficult to invade this gathering place.
Not to mention whether the aliens can survive jumping from the top of a towering mountain, or whether they can break through the defense line composed of the five stone gates, it is a question of whether they can discover the existence of the stone gates. Although it was very light, but when Zhu Xingzhen entered the passage just now, he had already smelled the faint smell of herbs, which should be a strange herb that could avoid the alien tracking smell and find the gathering place, with the existence of those medicinal herbs, this gathering place could be preserved as the last gathering place, otherwise I am afraid that it would have been discovered and broken like those previous gathering places.
After observing the environment of the gathering place, Zhu Xingzhen turned to look at the poorly constructed rock houses, which were probably the places where the Tuts who had taken refuge in the gathering place lived, and the most 'luxurious' houses were only slightly larger than the surrounding ones, which should be where the patriarch lived.
Deep wells have been dug in the settlement, so that the Tut people living here have plenty of water, but unfortunately the hard ground here is obviously not suitable for cultivation, otherwise Rachel and the others would not need to venture out to find food...
Seeing Rachel and the others return to the gathering place intact, and being able to find food smoothly, this discovery immediately made the Tut people in the gathering place feel excited.
Although life is very difficult now, at least they are alive, and as long as they can continue to survive, no one will want to give up.
As for the injuries on the Tuts? It has long been common for them to wait in the gathering place because of the wounded people who went out to look for food, and as long as the people can return to the gathering place alive, they are already intact...
After anxiously waiting for the good news of finally looking forward to the ** person, the spontaneous welcome team greeted Rachel and the others with a happy smile, while the lively Tut children were not so patient, and immediately ran to the strong men who returned with food regardless of the advice of the elders, and frolicked with their friends to coax the food brought back by the strong men.
The children's frolic did not annoy the strong men who were five big and three thick, since returning to the gathering place, the nerves of these strong men who were always on guard in the outside world have been liberated, and the serious vigilance on their faces has completely disappeared, just looking at the children who are happy to play, this may be their rare moment of entertainment...
"Thanks to Gadir's favor, the patriarch led the warriors to find food and return to the gathering place!" Piggybacking on the frolicking children, Rachel and the others came to the front of the greeting procession with a full load of warriors, and an elderly man at the front of the procession walked up to Rachel with a trembling cane, and then solemnly wanted to kneel on the ground to make the most solemn welcoming ceremony of the Tut people.
"Elder Garcia!" The moment Rachel saw the old man appear, he immediately put down the Tut child he was holding, and quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support the old man to prevent him from kneeling to the ground.
Garcia the Elder is the only surviving elder of the Tut tribe today, and the oldest of the clan.
As a Tut who has personally experienced the prosperity of the Tut people, the old man Garcia, who has been instilled with the concept of Gardir by his elders since he was a child, has a blind worship of the legendary surname of Gardir, and the previous patriarch, that is, Rachel's brother Frey, was unfortunately killed in the fight against the alien hunters, and it was he who put Rachel in the position of patriarch, in the stubborn heart of the old man Garcia, Gardir is the only patriarch candidate in the Tut tribe, even if the current patriarch candidate is just a little girl, he will never dare to despise it.
The old man Garcia, who was stopped by Rachel, did not continue to perform the solemn kneeling ceremony, which did not allow him to succeed after Rachel became the patriarch, so Garcia did not care.
"Patriarch, who is this...?" Garcia, the old man who was carefully picked up by Rachel, noticed Zhu Xingzhen who was holding the sleeping girl in his arms, and asked Rachel with some confusion after looking at Zhu Xingzhen's black hair and black eyes that were the same as Sori.
The characteristics of the Tuts are actually very similar to those of humans, but their hair color and eyes are dark green with a natural atmosphere, and their ears are longer and longer than humans, and their physical fitness is stronger than that of humans, which is what they rely on to fight the alien hunters.
"This is the traveler we met on this outing, he..."Rachel, who was making an introduction to Zhu Xingzhen, couldn't help but stop to explain this, and looked at Zhu Xingzhen not far away with a little embarrassment.
After walking together for so long, first thinking about the true identity of Sori and Zhuxing, and then rushing back to the gathering place as soon as possible, Rachel didn't ask Zhuxingzhen for his name, so when he wanted to introduce Zhuxingzhen to Elder Garcia, he made a joke...
"My name." Seeing Rachel with a striking face, after a little guessing, Zhu Xing really knew the problem that Rachel was encountering now, and immediately spoke out to relieve Rachel who was embarrassed.
"Yes, Zhuxingzhen, and he's holding his... His wife, now as badly injured as Sori, so I brought them back to the gathering place to treat their injuries. Glancing at Zhu Xingzhen, Rachel continued to explain Zhu Xingzhen's situation, and when introducing the girl in Zhu Xingzhen's arms, Rachel, who had learned a lesson, directly skipped the introduction of her name and told Elder Garcia all the information she guessed.
When he heard Rachel introduce the girl in his arms as his wife, Zhuxing was really a little surprised, but then he was relieved, anyway, now that the girl is unconscious, he will not stay here for long, so he did not explain more about the girl's identity, and let Rachel distort it as his wife.
"That's the case, then we can't delay, hurry up and call the clan physician to treat them." The old-eyed Garcia heard Rachel say that the girl in the arms of the stars and Sori were seriously injured, and immediately thought of summoning the few doctors in the clan for treatment, and after signaling respectfully to Rachel, he began to command the strong men of the Tut tribe to come forward to help distribute the food.
And Rachel, who got the permission of Elder Garcia, took Zhu Xingzhen and the strong man of the Tut tribe who was carrying Sori to find the help of the doctor, although Elder Garcia respected Rachel very much, but Rachel understood better that although Elder Garcia was old, his ability to deal with the affairs of the clan was far above himself, so most things Rachel would only be carried out with the consent of Elder Garcia, which was unavoidable before Rachel became a qualified patriarch.
When Rachel summoned the clan physician to make a diagnosis for the girl brought by Sori and Zhu Xingzhen, Rachel arranged the sleeping empress to her residence, and she was responsible for the treatment and daily care, and Zhu Xingzhen could only take the initiative to take care of her own people.
When Zhu Xingzhen gently placed the pale girl in his arms on Rachel's bed, the girl subconsciously grabbed the placket of Zhu Xingzhen's clothes, which made Zhu Xingzhen a little embarrassed, because he was in a situation where he couldn't get up or down in front of Rachel's bed...
"Hehe~ It seems that your relationship is very good~" The embarrassment on Zhu Xingzhen's face made Rachel a little embarrassed, and Zhu Xingzhen, who showed confidence and indifference from beginning to end, actually showed an embarrassed expression, which made Rachel misunderstand that Zhu Xingzhen really cared about the girl who didn't know her before...
"Uh, sort of..."Is it a good relationship to fight when we first meet?" And he seems to have aggravated her injuries...
Zhuxing Zhen took the girl's hand away speechlessly, then nodded to Rachel and walked out of Rachel's residence, towards the stone house where Sori was, not forgetting that he still had to take care of Sori.
As for the stars who have never taken care of others, can they really take care of Sori during the recovery period? Who knows...
.....
In the dim rock house, after the doctor treated his injuries, Sori was bandaged and placed on his own bed, but at this time, a lot of cold sweat broke out on Sori's face, and even his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if he was having some nightmare, and the scene in the dream was the scene that impressed him the most...
“!!”
Sori, who was tormented by the dream, suddenly opened his eyes, and then subconsciously stood up and gasped violently, but unexpectedly the injuries on his body were affected, but at this moment, Sori didn't pay attention to the pain coming from his body at all, just muttered in a low voice...
"Father..."
