Chapter 118 - Xiao family tattoos
Since these Chidan Traveller were all on foot, Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng had to follow them for around two days before they stopped.
When Chidan Traveller stopped and looked at the lake that was on the verge of drying up, Qiao Feng and Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh to themselves.
"I didn't expect that such a barren place would be like a paradise for them." Qiao Feng could not help but shake his head and sigh.
"This place is desolate and any resources are very precious. Although this lake has almost dried up, we can see that the water source is relatively clean here. At the same time, there are also a lot of vegetation nearby. Eating and drinking is indeed a perfect place for them." Ling Xiao said as he nodded his head.
After getting the confirmation from the elders, Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng then helped them set up camp here. First, they had to set up a few small tents, and at the same time, they had to set up some fences around the area to prove that they had already settled in.
"These customs are amazing." As Qiao Feng listened to the elder's narration, he revealed an extremely astonished expression.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he smiled and said: "Indeed so. It seems that I can learn a lot of new things from this trip to the Core Formation Stage."
After helping the Chidan Traveller s settle down their residences, night fell. As the last of the dusk disappeared, the bright and clear moon appeared exceptionally bright in the night.
After busying himself for the majority of the day, Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng sat on a rock and rested.
"Benefactor! Chief has asked me to invite the two of you to dinner! " Just then, a Chidan Traveller ran over to the two of them and said respectfully.
"Alright, let's go now." Qiao Feng nodded, then turned to Ling Xiao and smiled: "Sect Master Ling, let's go have a taste of the Qi Dan clan's deliciousness!"
The two of them followed the Qidan Tribe member to a bonfire. It was surrounded by many people, and it seemed like they were going to hold some kind of celebration party. It was not easy for them to come all the way here to stay, so it was not hard to understand their happy mood.
Seeing that Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng had arrived, the elder hurriedly stood up to welcome them and said with a smile: "Great Chivalry, please take a seat."
Seeing that, Qiao Feng laughed: "Senior does not need to be so courteous, only now do I know that we are fellow countrymen, to me, it is also a very happy thing."
"Haha, that's great, because we also prepared a bonfire party and a rich feast to celebrate our success in finding a new home! The two of you, come at me as well! Because thanks to your help, we can break free from the tiger's jaws! " The old man laughed.
With that, the patriarch raised the cup in front of him, and as Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng saw this, they raised their cups as well. After the patriarch finished his speech, the banquet began.
There were around fifty people in Chidan Traveller. They were not big, and could only be considered to be a small village. According to the elder's description, they were also just a small branch of the Great Tribes.
To Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng, this was a novel story, so they were listening carefully and patiently.
"Senior, does this mean that even if I found out that I'm from Chidan, it would be difficult for me to find my immediate family members?" Qiao Feng asked worriedly.
Hearing this, the elder nodded his head and said, "That's right, it is indeed not easy to distinguish which bloodline is yours, but all the members of the direct line will have very minute details when they tattoo. As long as you carefully observe, you can identify them with the information on the tattoo."
Hearing this, Qiao Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up, his face full of anticipation as he asked: "Then, Senior, do you know of this method of distinguishing them?"
The elder smiled: "This is an ancient tradition, as a Chief, of course I won't forget it."
"That's great! I will have to trouble senior to help me with this! " Qiao Feng said excitedly.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed: "Eldest Brother Qiao Feng, they are currently celebrating about moving to their new home, I understand how excited you are, but please do not be impatient for now, after the party is over, senior will naturally be at ease to help you differentiate them."
The elder nodded at Ling Xiao, then turned to Qiao Feng and said: "That's right, because I still have to host this party, and hope to be able to watch it for you later."
"Of course, I'm just a bit excited." Qiao Feng scratched his head and said.
After exchanging a few words with Ling Xiao, the patriarch ordered his own clansmen to prepare wine and food while he went to busy himself with other matters.
Chidan Traveller rarely had the chance to live on fertile soil, so it was very possible that to them, food that was only meant for filling their stomachs was just delicious.
That was why Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng didn't have much expectations from the start. However, when they ate it, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that they had actually underestimated the creativity of the Chidan Traveller s.
These foods were indeed very delicious. Even though the ingredients were all ordinary spices and coarse grains, under their concoction, they actually gave off a taste that made one drool.
"I really didn't expect that the Chidan Traveller's food would actually be even more delicious than a roasted chicken." Ling Xiao joked.
Qiao Feng, on the other hand, repeatedly nodded his head. His hand and mouth did not have the slightest trace of stopping.
Even though they tried their best to assimilate into the Chidan Traveller, they were still outsiders in the end, so they did not go into the activities of these Chidan Traveller s too deeply.
Slowly, after he had eaten his fill and played enough, the lively party also gradually quietened down.
"I have to say, the Chidan Traveller's wine is quite strong. Qiao Feng said self-deprecatingly. He had always thought that no one was afraid of his alcohol tolerance, he never thought that today he would actually fall into the hands of the Chidan Traveller.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao took the wine pot from Qiao Feng's hands and said: "That's enough, if you are drunk later on, the elder will not help you check your tattoos."
Hearing that, Qiao Feng immediately regained his senses, it seemed like this matter was extremely important to him.
The elder did not deceive them, and after taking care of the clan's matters, he found Ling Xiao and Qiao Feng on his own.
"Senior, I'll be counting on you." Qiao Feng said.
"Great Chivalry, don't worry. It's not the first time I've done this." The elder laughed.
Following that, Qiao Feng revealed his tattoo and turned to the elder.
The patriarch started to observe carefully. After a long while, the patriarch's face slowly became serious, and then he slowly said: "This is the tattoo of the Xiao family."
