I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village-Chapter 474: Lu Zi’s Concerns
The hot air balloon followed its original trajectory, flying back to the place where they had previously encountered Lu Zi and her people.
By this time, Lu Zi was already waiting by the riverside, and those from her Tribe were with her. Qing Mu and Chi Tu were also safe; Cheng Shi had flown back on the night Su Bai had left, as he saw there had not been any problems.
"I didn’t expect you to actually come." Lu Zi said in surprise.
The young woman had already given up hope, but she had sworn many things to her Tribe’s people, and if the other party could not appear, she would be extremely disappointed.
Originally those of her Tribe did not want to leave, after all, they had finally found a place to settle down.
Although it was just an open space, they had at least built many Teepees there and lived peacefully for a long time.
Despite the fact that people in the Tribe occasionally died, and most of them were eaten by Ferocious Beasts, it was only a small portion of them.
Now, suddenly asking them to leave that place and start an adventure to the riverside, or to live in a new Tribe… They were inevitably unwilling and even said many things to her to try to convince her against it. But in the end, they all compromised.
"I told you, our Shaman would definitely not lie." Qing Mu immediately said.
This was something he could say he was tired of saying. He had repeated it to the girl’s Tribe’s people every day! Whenever he heard them questioning Su Bai, Qing Mu was always the one who got most irritated by it.
He would not allow his Shaman to be questioned! The Shaman was such a good person, and moreover, the Shaman wanted to help them, yet were they not only ungrateful, but they would actually dare to question him!
This was what angered Qing Mu the most, so whenever he heard a questioning voice, he would immediately retort.
"The Shaman wouldn’t leave the two of us behind." Chi Tu also chimed in.
Like Qing Mu, he had been working hard to defend Su Bai. The two of them formed a stark contrast with those from the other Tribe.
On one side was all kinds of doubt and suspicion, even unwillingness and verbal abuse, whilst on the other side was constant praise of Su Bai and how good the Flame Dragon Tribe was.
The two sides looked very incompatible; apart from having different viewpoints, the most apparent thing was that the skin colour of the two sides was different.
The hot air balloon slowly descended onto the open ground by the riverside, and Su Bai stepped out. He glanced at the hundred or so people behind Lu Zi and said, "Are all of your people here?"
"Everyone is here. I hope you aren’t deceiving us; I had to persuade them for a long time…" Lu Zi said seriously.
Since they had eaten enough food these past two days, the young woman’s complexion had improved a little. Her speech and posture also had a bit more confidence, not looking as weak as she initially did.
"You’ll understand when we reach the Flame Dragon Tribe." Su Bai said earnestly. Rather than saying too much now, which would not be productive, it would be better to let them see for themselves when they reached the Tribe.
"Will we be bullied when we go to your Tribe?" Lu Zi asked.
Actually, this question was raised by the oldest person among those within her Tribe, because this person had noticed the skin colour of Qing Mu and Chi Tu.
He felt that this Tribe was unusual; that even their skin colour was different, so who knew if they would be bullied or not.
People were typically like that. They often develop an aversion to things that were different from themselves. Even they were the same; some differences would create friction. Also, who would not want one of their own kindto be better than the rest? This was just how Humans worked.
"Of course not, the people in our Tribe aren’t like that." Su Bai said. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Okay, then let’s go." Lu Zi nodded. At this moment, she too did not want to say too much. She wanted to take a wait and see approach.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…*
All the people by the riverside began to board the hot air balloon, after which the hot air balloon began to slowly ascend.
The hot air balloon kept flying towards the direction of the Flame Dragon Tribe, and those who had never ridden a hot air balloon were shocked, all discussing it with one another.
"What!? What exactly is this thing!?"
"Will we fall down? Is this thing safe!?"
"Could it be Shaman Technique? But to make these three big things fly, wouldn’t it take a lot of Shaman Power?"
"I don’t think it’s Shaman Technique, it should be that ball of fire above, it looks so strange."
"…"
Everyone on the hot air balloon was very curious, their faces full of shock, but even though they found it increasingly impressive, they did not dare to openly show such expressions.
They were afraid that the people of the Flame Dragon Tribe would discover it, and then know what their weaknesses were.
"Shaman, how long will it take for us to reach your Tribe?" Lu Zi asked curiously.
The young woman had just got over her surprise, so she immediately hid the shocked expression on her face, and then wanted to clarify how far the journey ahead was.
"At this speed, we should arrive by tomorrow." Su Bai said softly.
"What can we do when we get to your Tribe? My people have nothing but our physical bodies…" Lu Zi worried.
She was concerned that her people would not be able to find suitable work after reaching the Flame Dragon Tribe, and then they would start to go hungry.
"Don’t worry, our Tribe has many jobs that require strong people." Su Bai reassured her.
He could see that she was full of worry, obviously concerned for her Tribe’s people.
"Really? What kind of jobs require strength?" Lu Zi asked curiously.
"Building houses, laying roads, or carrying stones, all these need strong people to do them." Su Bai said.
"Building houses? Why build houses? Doesn’t your Tribe have houses to live in?" Lu Zi asked, puzzled.
"Of course we have houses, we just need to build better ones." Su Bai said.
"Some of them are also women, do women also have to build houses?" Lu Zi asked.
Because among these hundred or so people, several dozen were women, and these people were not as strong as the men.
"It doesn’t matter, there are also jobs suitable for them, don’t worry, as long as they come, everyone will have work." Su Bai said seriously.
Lu Zi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "Then I will ask them to work harder, and will the Shaman give a bit more meat to us? Because there are also children."
"Don’t worry, meat will be directly distributed to the children, but in return, they need to study," Su Bai said.
"Study?" Lu Zi blinked her purple eyes in confusion, and continued to ask, "Shaman, I’m not strong, I wonder what work I can do in your Tribe."
She finally stopped worrying about her people, but now she started to worry about herself.
"What can you do?" Su Bai asked.
