Chapter 303: Return
Han Cheng couldn't help but secretly rejoice at the sight of Milk Tea Girl's appearance.
With the lofty ideal of making little undergarments for his wife, Han Cheng found some thatch and rope and erected a silkworm mountain.
After it was done, he placed the silkworm mountain in the pottery basin to raise silkworms.
After a while, the silkworms began to climb onto the silkworm mountain.
After climbing onto the silkworm mountain, they used the last pair of legs at the back of their bodies to hold onto the stem of the thatch and began to shake their heads.
They couldn't stop shaking their heads as if they were taking ecstasy.
In the afternoon, some silkworms couldn't hold it anymore, and silk began to come out of their mouths.
Watching the silkworms cocoon themselves round and round with silk from their mouths, Han Cheng intuitively understood the idiom "making a cocoon for oneself."
By evening, all the silkworms had begun to spin silk.
When they woke up the next morning and looked, the silkworm mountain was covered with cocoons of various sizes.
For this change, Milk Tea Girl and others like Xing, Xiaomei, and Xiaoli were very surprised and delighted.
In this emotional state, Milk Tea Girl began to worry again that the silkworms inside would feel suffocated.
Han Cheng explained the life cycle of silkworms to them.
While speaking, Han Cheng occasionally glanced at the gate, hoping the Eldest Senior Brother and the others would return.
The anxiety in his heart was inevitable, fearing that they might encounter some accident.
Between the Green Sparrow Tribe and the Bone Tribe, seventy to eighty people were slowly walking toward the Green Sparrow Tribe.
These were the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe, including the captives from the Bone Tribe.
Because each of the four people had their left and right legs bound together with two sticks, they didn't walk very quickly.
But even so, the Eldest Senior Brother refused to untie the sticks on their feet.
Compared to the anxiousness when they were first captured, the people from the Bone Tribe seemed much calmer now, with a numbness in their calmness.
"Need to relieve myself."
As they walked, someone from the Bone Tribe called out.
Said in Mandarin, which was taught to them by the Eldest Senior Brother's group.
Initially, the Eldest Senior Brother and the others didn't understand why this matter was called "relieving oneself," but now they understood it too well.
After the person from the Bone Tribe called out like this, two Green Sparrow Tribe members holding weapons came over and stopped the group.
Only then did he have the time to deal with the numerous Bone Tribe captives.
Forty-eight.
Wow, this is a big harvest!
After counting the number of captives, Han Cheng was also surprised.
This was nine more than the largest number he had anticipated.
With joy in his heart, Han Cheng climbed down from the wall and went to the gate, inspecting each of the thirty people who had returned one by one. After finding nothing major other than fatigue, he finally relaxed and began to inquire about the course of the battle.
Elder Senior Brother was very excited about the results of the battle and happily recounted them to Han Cheng. The others added a few words from the side, and the people who stayed behind in the tribe couldn't help but marvel at what they heard.
Han Cheng hadn't expected that the methods he had taught Elder Senior Brother would be so effective, and he laughed along with them.
While they were happy, the Bone Tribe captives who had been brought back were filled with fear and anxiety, not knowing what awaited them.
As they thought about these things, many Bone Tribe people couldn't help but look to the east, knowing that there were many people who had been burned after the failed attack on their tribe.
Maybe the people from their tribe who died a few days ago were also burned there.
"Let's go in."
After confirming that everything was stable, Han Cheng told Elder Senior Brother and the others, who were covered in dirt and looked extremely uneasy.
Elder Senior Brother and the others led these people and began to walk towards the open gates of the tribe.
The Bone Tribe leader, with many wounds on his body, looked up at the tall walls and the open gates, his face showing a nearly tearful expression.
He had finally entered the tribe he wanted to enter, but unfortunately, it was far from what he had imagined.
As these anxious people were led into the Green Sparrow Tribe, the gate was closed behind them. Han Cheng ordered people to prepare ingredients.
Today, they would have a hearty feast to welcome back Elder Senior Brother and the others and celebrate their victory.
The people who received the order went off cheerfully, and the returning warriors from the Elder Senior Brother's group were also very happy.
They always had great enthusiasm for eating.
Han Cheng also ordered people to feed water to the Bone Tribe captives who were tied up there.
"Shenzi."
After things stabilized somewhat, Elder Senior Brother found the shaman and came to Han Cheng to express his concerns.
Seeing the number of Bone Tribe captives returning, the shaman also felt the same concerns rise within him.
