Chapter 115: Smile
After witnessing the astonishing food of the Green Sparrow Tribe, the leader of the Green Tribe felt quite disappointed. He had believed that the lush green grass of his tribe would be enough to impress others. However, compared to the abundant food of the Green Sparrow Tribe, it seemed insignificant.
The impact of this disappointment was severe, so much so that the leader of the Green Tribe forgot about the purpose of their visit, which was to participate in the festive gathering.
It wasn't until Eldest Senior Brother, along with six men and twelve women from his tribe, including himself, approached and initiated a conversation that he remembered the purpose of their visit.
In the past, upon seeing the women of the Green Sparrow Tribe, especially the spouse of Eldest Senior Brother, who had a particularly attractive figure, he would have been excited and shared a knowing smile with Eldest Senior Brother.
However, things were different this year. With the previous disappointment, he found it challenging to muster enthusiasm.
There were five men from the Green Tribe but an impressive fifteen women. According to their criteria, this was taking advantage of the situation. The idea was not about how many seeds were scattered but how many seeds were harvested. After all, the seeds scattered by others belonged to them, and only the seeds harvested from their fields were truly theirs.
Eldest Senior Brother showed great generosity in this matter. As the Green Sparrow Tribe could be considered the host of this festive gathering, with three more tribes to arrive later, the women of the Green Sparrow Tribe had enough opportunities to obtain seeds.
Another reason was that their tribe had absorbed the former Pig Tribe, adding six adult men. With these reinforcements, the Green Sparrow Tribe could handle the women from the Green Tribe.
Of course, to ensure the tribe retained a certain level of combat strength and to welcome the arrival of the later tribes in a relatively spirited state, the Eldest Senior Brother didn't send everyone. Many seed candidates were still kept behind, including the young and strong Tie Tou and Hei Wa, as well as some members from the former Pig Tribe.
The festive gathering turned out differently than Han Cheng had imagined. He originally thought that the official proceedings would start only when all the tribes had arrived, but it was a direct process. There wasn't even a trace of formalities; they went straight to the point.
Like selecting food, the pairing of individuals at this festive gathering was prioritized based on strength.
As the organizer of this festive gathering and the leader of the Green Sparrow Tribe, Eldest Senior Brother was naturally the first to choose women from the other tribes.
However, the Green Tribe leader still had his schemes. He would bring out two spouses, ensuring that after the selection process, he would harvest more land with excellent seeds than the Eldest Senior Brother.
After the Eldest Senior Brother made his choices, instead of the Second Senior Brother, the Green Tribe leader was the next to pick. Like Eldest Senior Brother, he approached one of his particularly well-endowed spouses, inserted his green grass into her hair, and made his selection.
After Eldest Senior Brother had chosen the two spouses from the Green Tribe leader, he didn't immediately leave. He waited until the Green Tribe leader completed his selection. After exchanging a smile, the two leaders left with their chosen women.
However, compared to the heartwarming smiles of previous years, the Green Tribe leader's smile this year seemed somewhat absent-minded.
After the leaders made their selections, it was the Second Senior Brother's turn to choose. He also picked two women.
However, his selection process was not smooth. After he made his choices, one of the Green Tribe women removed the feather Second Brother had placed on her head.
This wasn't unusual for the Second Senior Brother, who often faced such situations. The main reason, as he understood it, was that these women were worried his big belly would crush them.
The Second Senior Brother felt helpless about this ignorance. Who said he had to crush them with his weight?
His solution was simple: he didn't say a word and directly engaged in a fight with the woman who resisted him.
Ranked second in overall combat strength within the Green Sparrow Tribe, Second Senior Brother's prowess wasn't just talk. Despite his large belly, he was a relatively agile fat man, especially in short bursts where he displayed remarkable explosiveness.
The woman from the Green Tribe who resisted him was swiftly defeated, and after winning the fight, the Second Senior Brother left with the two Green Tribe women.
Next, a man from the Green Tribe came forward to choose a woman from the Green Sparrow Tribe who had participated in this grand daylight festive gathering. The large-scale happiness celebration had quickly entered its main event, accompanied by primitive melodies.
