Chapter 293
People who reunite after a long separation always have endless things to say when they gather.
Even before arriving at the riverbank, people who hadn't seen each other for a long time began to talk to each other. Joy filled everyone's hearts, reflecting on every face.
The children, in particular, chatter incessantly, as cheerful as a flock of sparrows.
After a command, even before Han Cheng, the Eldest Senior Brother, and the others speak, the children and the people who stayed behind have already unloaded everything from the boat. They are running towards the tribe, carrying them one by one.
Especially after hearing Han Cheng say that they will use something they have never seen before to make delicious food later, these people become even more excited.
They treat bamboo shoots more affectionately than anything else.
Milk Tea Sister pulls on Han Cheng's sleeve, hiding behind him, timidly observing the people of this tribe in front of her.
Not only did all nineteen people who went out return, but they also brought back an additional person, and Shaman smiled until his eyes became slits.
This child is not much shorter than the Divine Child and can already do a lot of work. In a few years, the tribe will have another adult. Shaman is naturally very happy.
Being thin and weak is not a big problem. After living in their tribe for a while and eating three meals daily, they will soon become strong.
Even though she may not compare to Xing, there is no problem comparing them to Xiaomei and Xiaoli.
Han Cheng didn't know what Shaman was thinking. If he did, he would shake his head vigorously.
It's not easy to find someone relatively satisfactory. If you continue to cultivate them in this direction, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?
With someone like this added to the team, it's impossible not to attract everyone's attention.
Facing Shaman and others' inquiries, Han Cheng briefly explained the situation.
Of course, when treating Milk Tea Sister's illness, some more private matters on the boat and some of his more animalistic thoughts were naturally skipped.
As Han Cheng spoke, Eldest Senior Brother and the others occasionally added a word.
After the speech, many people from the Green Sparrow tribe looked at Han Cheng with even more respect.
To be able to save people whom other tribes wanted to burn alive, how could they not be impressed?
Knowing about Milk Tea Sister's encounters with Xing, Xiaomei, and Xiaoli, who are older girls, they came over to talk to her actively and friendly.
They indicated that this would be her tribe in the future, and Milk Tea Sister could live with them.
Faced with the enthusiasm of Xing, Xiaomei, Xiaoli, and others, Milk Tea Sister felt a bit awkward, looking at Han Cheng for help.
After understanding Milk Tea Sister's meaning, several people felt somewhat depressed.
Yeah, all these things were discovered by the Divine Child. What had they discovered?
"I discovered that silkworms want to grow up and molt..."
Xing's eyes lit up as she spoke.
Prompted by her, Xiaomei and Xiaoli remembered things, chattering, "I discovered that pottery pieces of different sizes make different sounds when they collide..."
"Adding crushed pottery pieces into the clay makes the clay less likely to crack when fired, which was discovered by Hei Wa..."
After Milk Tea Sister's inquiry and some contemplation, they realized that they had discovered many things, too.
Many of the things they said, Milk Tea Sister didn't understand, but she could still grasp that they were saying things they had discovered.
They had discovered so much. What about herself? What had she discovered?
"I discovered how to braid my hair better."
She thought to herself.
Shaman was even more excited than when Divine Child returned. He was leaning over the jar of Chaihu, gently touching its leaves, and highly affectionate.
Han Cheng called him several times, but he refused to leave.
The terrifying disaster known as the devil's curse, passed down by the ancestors of the shaman, had left a deep impression on him, and there were also legends about the symptoms that occurred in the people in the cursed land.
There were many similarities between Milk Tea Sister's symptoms and those mentioned.
If Milk Tea Sister could be cured by this thing called Chaihu, did that mean that the people of their tribe could also be cured when encountering similar devil's curse incidents in the future?
Han Cheng also felt that Chaihu was significant, so he planted them first and dealt with other matters later.
Chaihu is more suitable for growing by the riverbank, but the rain gradually increased at this time, and planting them by the riverbank would easily wash them away.
After some thought, Han Cheng opened up a sunny area in the courtyard near the wall, brought some soil from the riverbank, and then transplanted the Chaihu from the jar there.
At the same time, he also transplanted a few wild hemp plants.
Worried that they wouldn't survive, after planting and watering them, Han Cheng had some branches with leaves brought over and placed them next to them to provide shade.
