Chapter 192

In the first bag, it is estimated that there are more than 50 steamed buns inside. If used during the time when his tribe was short of food, it can be boiled into food. The flour can be made into flour porridge, and the meat is of good quality. If it is made into soup, it will make many people full.

Yapo gave the steamed buns to the tribal leader because he could help many people. The tribal leader is an old man who thinks about the importance of everyone in the tribe the most. He is not selfish and can sacrifice even his own life for the Kuya tribe. Therefore, Yapo has no idea that he will cheat for the things he brings.

As for himself, he still has a lot left. In this small bag, there are 15 steamed buns, enough for all the children and his parents.

There are also a number of mooncakes that can be shared for a long time. The mooncakes are filled with peanuts and egg yolks, so they will provide quite a lot of energy. He didn’t count the number of them. He just saw the governor’s furen put it in his bag. There must be at least more than 30.

Originally, he did not know that his Kuya tribe had encountered the plague. Otherwise, he would have asked the other party to bring more delicious mooncakes. It is a pity that only this amount has been obtained. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

However, with this amount, if you give them daily soup and give them mooncakes by cutting them for the children, it is estimated that they will be full for many days. Another thing is that he is lucky to have a strong body and will not get these plagues anymore. Therefore, he is still an important force for the family in foraging.

"This...what are these? Why..." The mother was stunned for a moment. This much food didn’t seem real.

Although the Kuya tribe could find some meat, it was not such a delicate food. Moreover, they would only eat meat during some festivals.

The Kuya tribe had a large number of horses raised in the valley. When the meat-eating festival came, they would kill old horses that were incapable of fighting or working hard for food. If it was not controlled well, their own tribe might not have enough horses for the next battle.

Occasionally, they might also hunt animals. Their hunting skills were better than those of the townspeople from Red Earth City. They were adept at hunting, setting traps, and examining traces. Few people in the Bai Regions had this knowledge. Mostly, only the city’s soldiers could do it. But the Kuya tribe were all soldiers. They were trained together, so everyone had good skills.

If it weren’t for this epidemic, everyone would still have enough energy to go hunting. How could they lie down and eat everything in the house like this?!

"Don’t worry about this. This was obtained correctly. Even the tribal leader knows about it." Yapo didn’t give details, just to make his mother believe that this thing works.

The middle-aged woman didn’t know what to do until Yapo grabbed the things he had obtained and put them in his mother’s hand. His manner was quite serious at this moment.

"Don’t tell anyone about this, not even the main house. Everyone is suffering. Since the main house said that it will not provide us with resources because of this situation, it means that the things do not need to be sent to the central government anymore."

"Mother, prepare these things for our family. All the younger siblings must eat their fill. As for me, I will go and set traps instead of Father. Let you and Father rest for a while. I am not affected by the plague. This is an opportunity for me to hunt with peace of mind."

Yapo spoke about the main house with a solemn expression. In the past, this child refused to hunt because he didn’t like working for the main house. What did they think of his family? They have quite a few people. They adopted some children and selected only the children who seemed to be clever. Bah!

It was the same as every year when the family was called together. When they saw children who started to show signs of intelligence, they would take them back to take care of them, and then sent children who were not very enthusiastic or who had just been born to other families.

His mother had also received 3-4 newborn babies to take care of. Those children lost their parents, so no one took care of them. The main house didn’t accept such a large burden. They claimed that they had to do everything for the family, so everyone didn’t dare to object.

And because the main house was set up as a central unit like this, everyone who found resources must send them to the main house first. Yapo had hunting skills. His body was quite fast. Previously, the main house had thought of bringing him to live with them as well, but Yapo did not agree.

He went to the tribal leader and became the other party’s man, so the main house could no longer take advantage of him. As a member of the tribal leader, Yapo would receive his own salary, and he did not ask for that money. He only asked for amenities for his house every year. Sometimes it came as meat, which he did not give to the main house because it was not enough to share.

Seeing the main house taking such a stance, he also had the opportunity to do something for his family. Yapo planned wisely. However, regarding the deadly disease that was weakening his family, Yapo could only hope for a physician or someone who had as much knowledge as the governor’s furen. It must be possible somehow.

While the Kuya tribe faced the brutality of this epidemic, every tribe was facing the same situation.

Some tribes convened emergency meetings. They needed measures to deal with this matter. However, their measures were not very effective. Many tribes were aware that Red Earth City had changed a lot, and they also knew that Red Earth City had a cure for this disease. But those medicines were all rare, even the capital of the Bai Regions needed them.

"Red Earth City has medicine. They used to want our horses and weapons. Can’t we exchange them?"

"Do you think they dare to trade with us? Red Earth City is under the jurisdiction of the Bai Regions. If they do, it is tantamount to rebellion."

"That’s true. Red Earth City must only obey the orders of the Bai Regions."

"Then can we negotiate directly with the Bai Regions?"

"Do you think it’s that easy? In the capital of the Bai Regions, I heard that something happened there too. Even the distant Du Regions has begun to be affected. It won’t be long before this crazy disease spreads. In that case, will the wicked Bai Regions care about the face of our nomadic tribes?"

"Then what should we do? No matter what method we use, we must find a cure."

"Then sneak in and find out how to make the medicine, or steal it. If we let this go on, we will all die."

"That must be the only way. Or is it because Red Earth City has built a strong fence and has soldiers guarding it all the time because they are afraid that we will do this?"

"Huh! Do you think that crappy fence can stop us? Even so much information has been leaked out so easily. So it’s not difficult to go in and steal the recipe for the medicine."

"Then it’s settled..."

"Wait a minute. In fact, if we know how to make the medicine, it’s a good thing. It’s just that... there seems to be something unusual with this matter."

"Unusual?"

"Yes, because even the capital of the Bai Regions is short of medicine, isn’t it? So is the problem with the recipe? It should be something else."

When they heard this, everyone’s faces changed color. They paused for a moment. If they thought about it, it should be like that. But why did it happen?

Of course, this matter is not difficult or complicated. Just thinking about it for a while, they understood. After they understood it thoroughly, their faces turned pale immediately.

"This... Could it be that the method of making the medicine is not really much, but the problem lies in the herbs?"

"If that’s really the case, isn’t it really a bad time now?"

"Oh, Father (?). If this is really the case, all human beings will definitely die. Do you want to leave only the people from Red Earth City?"

After seeing everyone panicking like this, the first person who figured it out and was the calmest immediately raised his hand to stop them. Otherwise, this meeting would be no different from calling everyone to lament. Instead of getting a solution to the problem, he had to listen to these old people complain and yell. Just thinking about it made him fed up.

"Stop it, everyone. This matter may not be hopeless." When they heard the middle-aged man speak, the other old men stopped their voices.

"Huh? Does Master Keos have a solution for this?" Hearing Keos say that, the others felt as if hope had been raised.

The burly man almost rolled his eyes after seeing the expression of these old men who were called the elders. He was actually one of the elders of the tribe. However, he had only been in office for less than a year. However, because of his precocity, everyone in the tribe signed for him to be one of the elders of the tribe. Of course, it made him have to help these old men who were panicking without thinking.

“I can’t say whether it’s a solution or not, but I’ll explain the situation that my people have investigated in Red Earth City to you first. After that, everyone, please consider this matter with me."

Like a teacher who is guiding his students, Keos did not directly say what he thought, but instead used a method of guiding and providing more information so that they could help each other think of it.

Keos never wanted to be an elder, nor did he want to be a prominent person in the tribe. What he feared most was that he would become the next tribal leader, because as the son of the tribal leader, coupled with his intelligence, it made many people talk about it.

However, Keos is only the third son. He still has two older brothers who want to be the tribal leader. He loves and respects both of his brothers and does not want to be targeted. However, his talent could not be hidden quietly. Not long after the tribe faced problems, he became the one who came forward. In just a few times, it was discovered by others.

After that, his two brothers turned their swords at him, staring at him as an enemy. Keos, who didn’t want to fight, had to show himself. Otherwise, it would be him who would lose his head.

Oh well, he would show himself like this for now. After that, he would find a way to leave the tribe and go elsewhere. He would let his brothers take care of the tribe they loved. Of course, before he left, he would help the tribe as much as possible, repay the kindness of raising him, lay the foundation and teach the elders who had come into their positions because of their old age to have real potential."First of all, I have to say that the reason why there is a cure in Red Earth City is because of the new governor. You all know how bad Red Earth City was before, but when the new governor came in to take charge, he brought 500 soldiers with him to change Red Earth City. At the same time, he also had a wife who was able to make medicine. It was this woman who saved many people by making medicine to cure this plague.
