Chapter 304: All sins are attributed to the leader of the Bone Tribe
Han Cheng, along with the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother, entered the house and nodded involuntarily after listening to the Eldest Senior Brother's words.
The Eldest Senior Brother's concern was not without reason; the Green Sparrow Tribe could not withstand such a disaster.
Han Cheng was also reluctant to follow the Eldest Senior Brother's suggestion to kill the fourteen adult males of the Bone Tribe. After all, these fourteen adult males were valuable laborers.
Han Cheng had previously considered how to integrate the captured members of the Bone Tribe. Now, facing a new situation, he needed to devise new strategies.
After a period of discussion, the shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother occasionally asked about things they did not understand during the discussion and offered some advice.
It was not until they were almost ready to prepare the meal that they settled these matters. The shaman and the Eldest Senior Brother breathed a sigh of relief, and their heavy hearts suddenly felt lighter.
Although the sun had not yet set completely, the Green Sparrow Tribe had already started their meal. Han Cheng personally cooked a dish and shared it with everyone.
The fragrant aroma and the abundant and tempting food made the Bone Tribe members, who had not eaten well along the way, salivate. They wished they could rush over and eat to their heart's content.
However, they could only think about it. After all, they were captives. Moreover, they had attacked this tribe before.
Many of them felt strange that this tribe had not killed them yet.
Putting themselves in the tribe's shoes, if someone attacked their tribe and were captured, they would kill them without hesitation.
While the adults were craving the food, the children were even more eager. Although the Eldest Senior Brother's group did not withhold food from the children along the way, the hastily cooked meals on the road couldn't compare to the food now.
With fear and envy in their eyes, the Bone Tribe children watched from afar as the tribe's members enjoyed their meal, swallowing saliva one after another.
Such temptation was unbearable, not only for the children but also for the leader of the Bone Tribe.
His face mostly recovered from the swelling, and he suddenly widened his eyes, showing a startled expression.
During this waiting period, she was not killed, nor did anyone come to beat her. Only that seemingly prestigious elder came over and scolded her with incomprehensible words before leaving. On the other hand, the children were delighted and quickly cleared away the fragments, then ran off to make wind chimes.
Qing Hua stood there, stunned for a while, before gradually coming to her senses and daring to believe that all this was real.
Since then, Qing Hua has wholly devoted herself to this tribe.
At Han Cheng's arrangement, Tie Tou and Ru Hua, the couple, helped Qing Hua and Qing Cao, the two women, carry several jars of cooked soup and utensils and headed towards the bound Bone Tribe members.
"Divine Child, what is this?"
The third Senior Brother spoke up, expressing his dissatisfaction, feeling that those who had previously attacked their tribe should not be treated so well.
He was not alone in thinking this way, but most people remained silent.
Han Cheng had anticipated this situation long ago. Integrating the Bone Tribe would be much more complex than the Pig Tribe, not only considering the Bone Tribe's reaction but also the emotions of the Green Sparrow Tribe's members.
Putting down the empty bowl, Han Cheng addressed the crowd, looking at him. "The attack on our tribe was the idea of the Bone Tribe leader. Without his leadership, the others wouldn't have joined in. We can strengthen our tribe by incorporating them."
Whether the Bone Tribe leader had the idea to attack their tribe, the blame would be placed squarely on his shoulders.
To integrate the Bone Tribe into their tribe, the Bone Tribe leader must be eliminated. He was the backbone of the Bone Tribe, unlike Shang, whose nature was utterly different. Leaving him in the tribe was like having a bomb waiting to explode at any moment. Therefore, Han Cheng attributed all the guilt to the Bone Tribe leader.
Guiding the people to hate the Bone Tribe leader and redirecting their hatred towards him rather than the ordinary people of the Bone Tribe would minimize resistance from the Green Sparrow Tribe people during the integration process.
Han Cheng's words had a pronounced effect. Because of the Third Senior Brother and others' inability to contain their anger, they set down their utensils. They headed towards where the Bone Tribe members were being held, intending to attack the leader.
Seeing this, Han Cheng was pleased and hurriedly instructed them not to kill the Bone Tribe leader. He still had other important tasks to complete.
