Chapter 454
They Think They’re Birds
The large man’s name was Wacha. On the way here, Zheng Luo had already told Shao Xuan about this person. Since Wacha was mostly stationed at the salt mines, he did not spend much time in the village. He did return for ceremonies and stood near the front so Shao Xuan recognised him.
And because Shao Xuan remembered how Wacha looked, he was shocked.
He remembered Wacha being a tanned man. When the day was hot, he would walk around topless and his shoulders shone in the sun like a piece of barbecued meat shining with grease. There were many venomous insects in the salt mines that bit humans and left scars. If the remaining venom was not excreted by the body completely, the scar would leave a hole in the skin.
Wacha, who spent so much time at the mines, had a lot of experience with these insects, evident from his pock-marked face. It was very rough, rougher than orange peel. The tribesmen did not think much of it, some even though he looked more intimidating like that to be able to lead his team. It was true too. With a face like that, when he put on a solemn expression, one look at you would feel like a boulder about to squash you into pulp.
Right now, Wacha had lost all his ‘intimidating’ scars, his dark, tanned skin had lightened into a rosy glow. At first glance, Shao Xuan thought it was the wrong man.
Wacha was embarrassed as Shao Xuan stared. Every person who visited was shocked, Wacha had seen reflections of himself in tubs of water, even borrowing the shamaness’ only mirror to check his face… Utterly terrifying!
Wacha felt like he could not meet anyone in the tribe anymore. Without the marks on his face, he didn’t feel like the mighty leader of the salt mines team anymore. It was embarrassing!
“Mountain Wind? They’re a bunch of people who think they’re birds,” answered Duo Kang, his description short but his tone mocking.
