Chapter 174
Chapter 174 – The slave owner
Translated by Lee
Shao Xuan lifted the large boulder up from the river bank and briskly walked to the front of Yan Shuo’s house. He kicked the pieces of wood on the ground aside and casually threw the boulder on the ground.
Boom!
Even those standing far away could feel the ground shaking, let alone Yan Shuo’s family.
Their wooden house wasn’t even sturdy to begin with. Adding on the vibrations right next to it, more pieces of the house started falling off.
…It seems he went too far with the pretentious act.
Shao Xuan scratched his nose and laughed apologetically towards Yan Shuo’s family.
“It’s okay, there’s no need. If that slave owner really wanted to kill us, he wouldn’t wait. He would have just killed us off right then and there like he did to Li. Since he didn’t take care of us earlier, he won’t make a move against us for now.” Yan Shuo said. He was somewhat familiar with how the slave owner acted.
“In fact, I’m pretty familiar with this area. I know what these people are like. But if I move someplace else, that won’t necessarily be true.” Yan Shuo added.
Shao Xuan gave it a thought. That’s true, he only knew the Drumming tribe and the Pu tribe. The Pu tribe didn’t allow outsiders to stay inside their tribe for long. As for the Drumming tribe, it was too far and out of the way. The road there would be too dangerous for Yan Shuo’s family to go by themselves.
After some consideration, Yan Shuo’s way of thinking was indeed more practical.
“Then you can just stay here for the time being, I’ll help you build a house.”
The new wooden house was built pretty quickly with Shao Xuan’s help. As for the person who came to find Yan Shuo last night, he was dizzy all night from his wounds. He got up really late and the first thing he heard about was Yan Shuo’s affairs. He hastily rushed over to find Yan Shuo.
He was once Yan Shuo’s comrade-in-arms, Yan Shuo also wanted to help him out. Since he hadn’t gone to find the slave owner yet, he might as well live together with Yan Shuo’s family.
The newly constructed house was considerably bigger than the previous one. Another person living in it was completely feasible.
Shao Xuan also thought it was a good idea since they could all look after each other.
“Wait for me to come back from the central tribes, I’ll bring you all back to our tribe.” Shao Xuan left some water moonstones with Yan Shuo. He also crafted some stone tools for them.
Yan Shuo’s strength had increased a bit compared to before. It was more than enough for his family to survive, and who knows? Maybe he would be able to hunt some prey too.
The day came for the travel team to set out. Shao Xuan said goodbye to Yan Shuo and his family for now. He left with the newly expanded travel team, continuing onwards to the central tribes.
According to Yan Shuo, he wasn’t clear on what had happened to the Flaming Horns tribe back then. But as far as he knew, there should be a lot more wanderers from their tribe like him.
If Shao Xuan could find these people, he could bring them back to the tribe as well.
