Chapter 150 Rebuild the tribe

Nanova said, "I have all we have for you, but there are not many bronzes. You need it too quickly. We can't get ready. If you can stay two more days, you should be all right."

"I'll tell you what." I looked back and said, "I'll borrow some from your palace. You haven't prepared it for us. You can make it yourself."

"This......" Nanova looked embarrassed.

"So decided." I patted him on the shoulder and called Wu Wa and Li Ding over and asked them to take someone to carry it.

He took the rest of the group to the main square to inspect what was already in place.

There were more than a hundred sacks, mostly of grain, but also some spices and salt. Copper utensils are POTS, pans and pickles. Their tribe probably grew in strength because they discovered the copper first.

When he had finished, he found that no cattle had been prepared, and was about to ask questions, when he saw men coming with a herd of pigs and goats, and rabbits in cages.

"Big brother, I have prepared everything you need." Nanova followed.

I nodded and told my men to put everything on the sheep's hump. We arranged almost after, Li Ding and Wu Wa they also carry things back.

By this time many of the great tribes had gathered in the square and were leaning over to watch us.

Li Ding stepped forward: "fly elder brother, can take all took."

"Take the man and the alpaca to the south Gate." I said, turning to Nanova, "Good-bye, brother. See you later."

"Eldest brother, I am really reluctant to leave you." Nanova said wistfully.

"Neither can I." I grabbed his hand: "Send us."

As long as I had him with me, I had no fear of him doing anything secretly bad.

Nanova moved, and the guard charged with protecting him followed.

When we arrived at the south gate, it was already dark. Many torches were lit on the wall, so the people above could see clearly.

"Brother, do you really want to go overnight? If only we could go tomorrow morning." Nanova was half worried, half convinced.

"Go to-night, and carry it to the gate. I will have an enthronement ceremony tomorrow. I let go of his hand.

"If it wasn't for my brother, I wouldn't be on the throne at all, but I haven't thanked you enough..."

I did not listen to what he said. I watched my men descending from the tower and crossing the wall. I patted him on the shoulder and quickly followed him.

When we were all outside the walls, nanova and his men were standing on the top of the tower, Shouting and waving at us. It's like you really don't want us to leave.

Cui Bin was standing by the side of the road waiting for me. I walked up and asked, "Have you processed the food you sent me before?"

Cui Bin nodded, "I've prepared everything. There's enough for the journey. I have a watch on the harbour side, too. I have scattered some of the men who entered the harbour through the other gates, presumably intending to sabotage the ship."

"Well done." It means a lot to me to keep cui Bin strong. If only Li Ding, a lot of things can not think so thoughtful.

There's a big fire in the harbor, and we've got people there. There are dozens of boats, big and small, at anchor in the harbour. While I had my supplies loaded onto the ship, I selected some slaves who were good swimmers, to do some damage to the ships which we did not need.

After more than an hour of busy work, it was finally arranged. When we call everyone on board. I saw some slaves pushing and shoving each other and refusing to get up.

"What's wrong with you? I asked as I walked up.

They backed away and fell to their knees together.

"Won't you come with us?"

A slave in his 40s or 50s looked up and said, "Chief, we want to go back to our tribe. I haven't seen my family or my people for years."

"Uncle," I said, "you have to think about it. The larger tribes will soon go to the smaller tribes on the island and continue to capture people as slaves. If you don't come with us, you'll be caught again."

He nodded: "I know, I want to go back to my people, and the chief you can go?"

"This......" I don't want to annex small tribes. As the tribe gets more complicated, so does the conflict. This is very detrimental to our development. I took the slaves first, because I thought we owed them a debt, many of them born in the great tribes, and it was the best thing to follow us.

"Uncle, we can't stay here too long." Cui Bin explained in the side.

"I know," he said quickly, "that the great horde will not spare you if you save us. Your weapons are great, but there are too many of them. Is it all right if I go back and bring my people to you?"

Because we can't tell them where Bukgu is. He called out wuwa twice and she came with muka. I explained the situation to both of them.

Wu Wa pointed to a bright star in the northeast: "Can you see that star? If you keep looking for it, you'll find our island. It's a big island. But not too far apart, or its position will change and you won't find us."

He nodded his head to show that he would look for us.

The other slaves were already on board, and only a dozen of them remained. I sent for some provisions for them, and brought back the two guns and cartridges which they had distributed, and dismissed them.

After a few steps they would turn their heads and bow their thanks until they could not see each other at all.

We took four ships, boarded them all, and set out overnight. Since most of them were natives, I asked Uwa and Muka to lead them and make arrangements for the voyage.

On the third day, while I was rowing, I saw the sea rolling ahead.

"It's sharks." The natives in sight stood up and shouted.

"Change course and go around." Muka shouted.

On the way to avoid the sharks, we also saw some floating logs and bodies on the water. Prince Zeno, no doubt on their way home, the ship sank and something happened.

After bypassing the shark feeding grounds, we returned to our original course and continued on our way.

At noon the next day, we arrived at the mouth of the river smoothly. We had to move it in batches because we had so much to bring back. All the animals, including the alpaca, were tied up with ropes and dragged up.

As a leader, I am naturally too busy commanding the affairs of the whole world to do everything personally. After boarding the highlands, directly with Zhang Yutong they return to the tribe.

Looking at the flattened tribe, I was still hurt. The fields are gone, the tribes are gone, everything has been burned to the ground.

As they crossed the fields, Wu Wa explained, "When we retreated, we had built three wooden houses, but now there is nothing at all."

It wasn't her fault. I reassured her, "It's okay, there are 200 of us now, and we can get the tribe back together in no time."

Wu Wa laughed and said, "Chief, leave all these things to us. You can go on looking for your woman."

I gave a bitter laugh.

"What, aren't you going to look for her?" Wu Wa was surprised.

"We'll talk about it later. Sooner or later, the horde will attack us. There are more than two hundred of us.

It's not that I'm not eager to find Li Wanxue, but I don't know where to find her. If she's still alive, she'll have to suffer more.

I took them all the way around the tribe, and all I found was a bunch of broken bricks. The tunnels and the basement are still there.

Back on the ground, I said to them, "Everything can be slowed down, like chopping wood, building the corral, the simple wooden house and the warehouse."

Everyone went to get their tools and began to scatter to do their work.

Build quickly as you chop wood. By nightfall, the pen and barn were finished.

There were no POTS, but we brought back a great deal of copper cooking utensils and tableware from the great tribes. After dinner and arranging for the elderly and children to rest in the basement, I gathered the others around a big fire.

Meeting has become a very important thing in our life.

I coughed twice, cleared my throat and said loudly: "The grain should be enough for us to eat for half a year. For the rest of the day, let's do this. Uncle Cheng is responsible for planting the land with the old, the weak, the women and the children, and getting food to grow as soon as possible, especially vegetables."
