Chapter 396: Blood Rekindled
Gray clouds in the sky are surging and accumulating.
The torrential rain poured down and fell on the verdant grasslands.
Thousands of remnants of primitive people sat on the grass in torrential rain, waiting for the return of the hunters.
The atmosphere was dead silent.
The departure of loved ones, the harsh living environment, and the endless road make everyone's hearts feel like ashes. In a trance, it seemed that the people sitting in the grassland rain were not living people, but thousands of stone statues covered with rain and mist and gray gas.
In Tu Shan's team, Tu Shanwu also sat on the grass.
The rain kept seeping into his gray hair and sliding down his wrinkled cheeks. Mai was soaked in rain and clung to her thin body.
Tu Shanwu's face was old, his eyes were heavy, and he only looked at one place fixedly, motionless.
In fact, Tu Shan did not lose much in this migration.
Although their strength is weak, the Ye tribe and the Aphid tribe can watch and help each other, and the three major tribes of the Gongtao tribe, the Shuren tribe, and the Ganqi tribe will take special care of them for the sake of Ye Xi's face. So compared to other tribes, the losses are almost incalculable.
The reason why Tu Shanwu was in a low mood was actually worried about Ye Xi.
He had read the map of Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, calculated the time, and knew that there was a quack in Yexi who could come back in half a month at most. But it's been almost a month, but Ye Xi is still nowhere to be seen, how can he not worry?
Could it be that the silkworm girl was vicious and didn't want to give silkworm cloth, but instead did something to Ye Xi?
Tu Shanwu didn't know about Mulberry Silkworm Ridge, he really didn't know the bottom of his heart, the more time passed, the more uneasy he became, and now he was almost ready to accept Ye Xi's death.
At this moment, there was a sudden shout of excitement in the distance.
"Xiwu, Xiwu is back!!"
Tu Shanwu's body shook, and the whole person came to life in an instant, and he stood up with a bone cane, his eyes eagerly looking at the place where the voice came from.
I saw that in the grass in the distance, Ye Xi jumped down from a majestic black-backed tiger that was foaming at the mouth, and strode towards them.
Although his face was slightly tired, his body was in good shape, and he was obviously not injured.
Tu Shanwu instantly let go of the big stone that was pressing on his heart.
But his eyes couldn't help but get hot.
Ye Xi strode up to Tu Shanwu, opened his arms and hugged the thin old man with red eyes, and said apologetically: "...... Wu, I'm too late!"
Tu Shanwu patted Ye Xi's arm and showed the first comfortable smile in these days: "It's good to come back." ”
"You're back?!"
Broken Ling pounced like a wolf cub, her eyes shining like a light bulb, and she looked Ye Xi up and down, trying to make sure he was not injured.
Ye Xi rubbed Broken Ling's little head: "It's been hard these days. ”
The rest of the Tushan people also gathered around, overjoyed and cheered for Ye Xi's return.
Ye Xi quickly glanced at Tushan's team, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that although there were many pregnant slave girls and babies in the tribe, most of the familiar people were standing here well.
And the chiefs of the tribes and the witches came up round about them.
Ye Xi hurriedly asked them what had happened in the past few days.
They were also quite excited to see Ye Xi, and talked about their experiences these days. Some of the chiefs poured bitter water with red eyes as they spoke, as if they wanted to pour out all the hardships they had encountered these days.
Like peeling the tribal witch, the former witch disciple Dodder complained to Ye Xi with a bit of grievance and grief, telling him what happened when the tribal chief and the witch died.
The chiefs of the various tribes and Wu Wenyan were a little embarrassed, afraid that Ye Xi would blame him.
Ye Xi just glanced at them, then comforted and comforted the dodder, and then gave him a bag of spring water.
The joyful atmosphere of Tushan infected the people of other tribes, and the atmosphere was no longer dead, like a pool of stagnant water with vitality, and they were also happy for the return of Xiwu. However, most of them still have numb eyes, like stone statues that have been drained of all their spiritual energy.
Ye Xi glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was miserable, depressed, and the old and weak were almost invisible, and he couldn't help but feel astringent.
He knew that everyone had suffered enough during this time, and their ability to bear it had reached its limit. After a moment of silence, he suddenly jumped onto Jiaojiao's head.
The black python knew Ye Xi's intentions, and the upper body stood up.
Ye Xi stood high above the giant python's head, looked at the crowded crowd that looked up at him in the rain, took a deep breath, and said loudly.
"Companions!"
"When a natural disaster struck, we were forced to leave our familiar home, the road was difficult, there were fierce birds and beasts everywhere outside, we suffered along the way, and we also lost loved ones, partners and friends!"
"Each of us is in pain! I know that everyone has been asking why we are so unlucky, why have we encountered natural disasters that have not happened for thousands of years! Why us?! Like everyone else, I also want to question the heavens, why did we suffer all this!!"
In the crowd, Bamu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red.
Ye Xi's words entered his heart, and when he thought of everything he encountered on the way, his body trembled slightly in pain.
“...... But don't indulge in grief, our deceased loved ones just went to heaven to be with our ancestors!"
"It was a wonderful place, they were free from sickness and all suffering, and they had eternal peace and joy, and we should be happy for them, because they no longer have to struggle to survive in this cruel land!"
Bamu was stunned, did Eminem and his sister go to heaven to reunite with their ancestors?
Where the ancestors stayed...... It must be wonderful, right? The ancestors must have taken care of them, right?
It's so difficult to live in this land, Eminem and his sister are relieved, and it's okay.
The rest of the bereaved people were also touched, some whimpered, wiped their tears, some wailed, screaming indiscriminately, venting the pent-up feelings in their hearts.
The torrential rain poured down, Ye Xi's black hair was wet and stuck to his fair skin, and the rain flowed into the corners of his mouth.
His eyes were firm and his voice was sonorous.
"Although our relatives are gone, we are still there!"
"For our descendants, we are also their ancestors! Since we are ancestors, we must create a good environment for our descendants as much as possible, and at least settle the tribe well! We cannot let our descendants have no home to live in, and they can only sleep in the wilderness!"
"We have a responsibility to shoulder!"
"I hope that when we meet our ancestors and loved ones again after we die, they will not blame us for indulging in grief, they will not blame us for not doing our best at this critical time, and they will not be ashamed of us!"
Bamu's eyes widened.
If the ancestors knew that the Black Tiger Tribe had died out in their generation, the ancestors would have scolded them! The tribe that the ancestors had worked so hard to build was destroyed because of their cowardice......
Thinking of this, Bamu's cheeks were hot, and he felt ashamed of himself who had languished some time ago.
Ye Xi stood on the head of the giant python and looked at them, his shining eyes seemed to look into the depths of everyone's heart.
"I have heard a saying before that if Heaven wants to give a man a great responsibility, then he must first experience pain, let him endure hunger and thirst, let him experience all unsatisfactory. Heaven uses these tribulations to make that person stronger, so that his heart will be stronger. ”
"Brothers and sisters, we now have that great responsibility - to find our new home!"
"If we find a new home that is abundant, safe and habitable, future generations will be proud of us, our stories will be passed on, and even hundreds of years from now, our children and grandchildren will still relish our experiences and our stories!"
"We will not be defeated by natural disasters, we have nothing to fear!!"
"Cheer up, everyone!!"
Boom –
Looking at the people standing high on the giant python, everyone's faces suddenly turned red.
The suffering on the road is like being burned by some kind of fire, and turned into endless power.
On the empty grassland, everyone was drenched in torrential rain and bent their necks, waving their arms, and shouting hoarsely: "We will not be defeated by natural disasters, we are fearless!!"
"We want future generations to be proud of us, and we want our ancestors to be proud of us!!"
