Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 1147 Hand

A Yan grabbed the vines and slowly climbed down. The cliff was very steep, and the soil on it was still very slippery because it had just rained. A Yan held the vines tightly with his hands, and stepped carefully on the rocks on the cliff, for fear of falling down accidentally. When he was halfway up, the vines suddenly shook. A Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly steadied his body and continued to climb down slowly. Finally, A Yan climbed to the platform. The platform was very small and could only accommodate four or five people. There were four people from the Black Wood Tribe sitting on it - the young man he had met in the hunting area before, and the leader of the Black Wood Tribe, Black Fang, and the other two were old men from the Black Wood Tribe. Black Fang's leg was hit by a stone, and the blood dyed his animal leather pants red. He was pale and looked very weak. Seeing Ah Yan, Hei Ya's eyes filled with surprise. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "You... why are you here? Aren't the people of the Firestone Tribe supposed to wish us dead?" Ah Yan ignored Hei Ya's words. He squatted down and examined Hei Ya's wound. Then he pulled some herbs from his pocket and handed them to the old man beside Hei Ya. "These are hemostatic herbs. Hurry and apply them to the leader. We're here to save you. There are ropes up there. I'll pull you up one by one. Hold on tight, don't be afraid." Hei Ya looked at Ah Yan, his eyes filled with guilt. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out. Ah Yan handed him a vine and said, "Leader, you go up first. Your leg is injured. It's too dangerous to stay down there." Hei Ya nodded and, with the old man's help, grabbed the vine. Ah Yan shouted upward, "A Shu, get ready. I'm pulling him up!" Ah Shu replied, "Okay! I'm ready!" Ah Yan and Ah Shu worked together to slowly pull Hei Ya up. Then, Ah Yan pulled the two old men up, leaving only the Blackwood boy. The boy looked at Ah Yan, his eyes filled with gratitude. He whispered, "Thank you, Firestone's friend. I've let you down in the hunting area and during the battle." Ah Yan smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder. "Let's not dwell on the past. We're all from the Blackwood tribe, and we should help each other. Go up quickly; your family is definitely waiting for you." The boy nodded, grabbed the vines, and was pulled up by Ah Yan and Ah Shu. Ah Yan was the last to reach the top of the cliff. He collapsed on the ground, exhausted, and gasped for breath. Black Fang came over and squatted beside Ah Yan, saying guiltily, "We were wrong before. We shouldn't have taken your water source and fought with you, causing you so much suffering. From now on, our Black Wood Tribe will no longer fight with the Fire Stone Tribe. We will live together in the Black Forest, help each other, and never again steal each other's hunting grounds or water sources." Ah Yan looked at Black Fang and smiled, saying, "That's right. From now on, we'll be friends. Your camp is no longer habitable. If you don't mind, come with us to the Fire Stone Tribe camp. Once the rain stops, we'll help you rebuild." Black Fang nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with gratitude. Ah Yan led the Black Wood Tribe and Ah Shu towards the Fire Stone Tribe camp. On the way, Black Fang told Ah Yan about their experience of the mudslide: It was raining heavily that day, and they were resting in camp when they suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the cliff above. Then they saw a huge amount of mud and rocks rolling down the cliff. They had no time to escape, so they had to hide on a platform in the middle of the cliff, which was their lucky escape. After walking for about two hours, they finally saw the Firestone Tribe's camp. Chief Shi and his tribesmen were standing at the camp gate. Seeing Ah Yan return with the Blackwood Tribe, they happily greeted him. Shi walked over to Blacktooth, extended his hand, and said with a smile, "Chief Blacktooth, welcome to the Firestone Tribe. Let's not talk about what happened before. From now on, our two tribes will be friends, living together in the Black Forest." Blacktooth reached out and shook Shi's hand tightly, his eyes filled with guilt and gratitude. "Chief Shi, I was too impulsive earlier and let the Firestone Tribe down. From now on, our Blackwood Tribe will get along well with the Firestone Tribe, help each other, and never fight again." The tribesmen cheered, and the atmosphere in the camp became particularly lively. The women hurried to prepare food for the Blackwood Tribe, while Lao Cao changed the bandages for Hei Ya and the injured tribesmen. Ah Yan's heart warmed as he watched the scene before him. He knew that from this day on, the Firestone and Blackwood Tribes were no longer enemies. They would live together in the Black Forest, caring for each other and facing future difficulties together. As the sun set, golden sunlight streamed down onto the camp, illuminating everyone's face with a flushed glow. The flames in the firepit danced, as if cheering for the reconciliation between the two tribes. Ah Yan gazed at the distant Black Forest, his heart filled with hope. He believed that as long as the two tribes united, no difficulty would be insurmountable, and the future would surely improve. The danger we face would then be even greater. Lao Tan, standing nearby, nodded and echoed, "The chief is right. The tribes in the Black Forest should have helped each other, but they've been fighting each other for years due to a lack of resources. If we can help the Black Wood Tribe this time, perhaps we can resolve the previous conflict, and the two tribes could live together in the Black Forest, caring for each other." As Ah Yan listened to Shi and Lao Tan's words, a new understanding gradually dawned on him. He remembered the Black Wood youth he'd met in the hunting grounds, and the one he'd stabbed in battle. They were all simply trying to survive; they weren't inherently bad. Ah Yan looked up at Shi and said firmly, "Chief, I'll go inform the Black Wood Tribe!" "My father and I went to their hunting grounds last time and I know the way to their camp. I will definitely be able to bring them back safely." Shi looked at Ah Yan with approval in his eyes and nodded: "Okay, then go. Take Ah Shu with you. He will go with you and you can have someone to look after you on the way. Also bring some dry food and herbs, in case you encounter any situation. Be careful on the road. If you encounter danger, take care of your own safety first and don't force it." Ah Yan nodded vigorously and turned to walk out of the tent. He found Ah Shu and told him that they were going to the Blackwood tribe camp. Although Ah Shu was a little scared, he agreed. The two returned to their respective tents and packed their things - Ah Yan took a stone axe, a crossbow and some arrows, as well as the dried meat and wild fruits prepared for him by his mother He; Ah Shu took some herbs and flint, and specially took a flint.
