Chapter 90 Runaway Slave
Jian Ya and the others escorted the three captives onto the raft and rowed to the opposite bank. Those men dragged their companions' corpses into the chest-deep river, wading across the river with difficulty.

The large green millet seedlings on the bank of the river immediately attracted their attention, but their eyes turned strange when they looked at Jian Ya.

Wu Yun watched and noticed the emotional changes of these people, walked up to Jian Ya and said: "There is something wrong with those people, they seem to know these millet seedlings."

Jian Ya said disapprovingly: "You just think too much every day. These people have been living on the grasslands, and it is normal to see corn."

"But..."

Jian Ya waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to worry about. If you're worried, just tie them up and ask them carefully."

Wu Yun sighed and didn't continue talking. He also felt that he was a little too suspicious, but he was cautious and still stared at those people from time to time.

After returning to the tribe, Jian Ya ordered the three captives to be tied up with ropes and locked in the animal pen.

The women were a little scared when they saw so many strangers suddenly coming. The children hid behind their mothers and looked at these people timidly.

Fan Xing looked at these people uneasily with her big belly. Wang Lang was not here, so many strange faces suddenly appeared, which made her feel very scared. She pulled Hei Shi beside her and asked, "Who are these people?"

Heishi said: "The people who were locked up just now are enemies, and they haven't figured out exactly who they are."

Fan Xing frowned and said: "Then what about this person, aren't they together? Why don't they be locked up?"

Heishi saw Fan Xing's uneasiness, smiled and said: "These people seem to have escaped from somewhere, don't worry, they are very weak, with us here, they will not pose a threat to us.".

Seeing the confident looks of the men, Fanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

The men surrounded the dozen or so people and forbade them to move around at will.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Jianya asked.

After speaking, Kong San translated Jian Ya's words.

After Kong San finished speaking, these people looked at the old man before him. The old man sighed and stepped forward boldly and said, "We are slaves who escaped from the Raging Fire Tribe."

Kong San didn't know what the pronunciation slave meant, so he could only say the word in his own language.

"Ask him what a slave is." Jianya said.

The old man listened to Kong San's translation, and was taken aback for a moment. In their impression, tribes that can grow food must have a large number of slaves. Although those outside have never seen what kind of food they are, they are obviously grown artificially. , I thought that these people wanted to catch themselves as slaves, but I didn't expect that these people didn't even know what a slave was.

The old man thought for a while and said truthfully: "Slaves are people who work for others. When offering sacrifices to the gods, slaves' lives are needed to sacrifice. We are just a talking tool over there. When there is not enough food, we will will be slaughtered for food."

After Kong San translated this sentence, the people in the tribe immediately thought of the tribe that drove him out of the forest. The women immediately became restless, and the men were very excited. I shuddered when I arrived.

"Jian Ya, could those people be the ones who drove me away?" A clansman asked angrily.

"It must be those people, Jian Ya, let's go and kill them!"

"Those three people must be killed immediately!"

. . . . . .

Looking at the emotional clansmen, Jian Ya was about to nod his head to agree with this decision, but Wu Yun pulled him and said: "Everyone, calm down, we can't make a decision on this matter, as for those people, we don't know yet, What we have to do now is to tell the patriarch the news as soon as possible."

Wu Yun's words made people calm down. Looking at the three people locked in the animal pen, although people wished they could kill them now, they also knew that these people were more useful alive than dead.

Wu Yun looked at Jian Ya with an extremely ferocious face, sighed and said: "Jian Ya, before Lang leaves, I will hand over this place to you. If something happens, how will you explain to Lang. You must think clearly before making a decision."

Jian Ya thought for a while and said, "Wu Yun, you and Hei Jiao will go to the jungle and tell Lang about this."

The two nodded, took weapons and food, and ran out of the tribe in a hurry.

After these runaway slaves saw the old man explain what a slave was, the people in front of them became so irritable, and their faces turned pale with fright, thinking that these people were trying to harm them.

After seeing Wu Yun and the others leave the tribe, Jian Ya glanced at the panicked escaped slaves, and then said to the others: "Get them something to eat, watch them, and don't let them run around."

After speaking, he called Kong San and walked towards the animal pen.

. . . . . .

Ever since Wang Lang and the others experienced the tornado and the hyena attack, a large amount of meat had accumulated in the tribe. Although such a large amount of meat had been embalmed, it was too much to eat even if it was raw maggots. For the first time, I was worried about too much food.

Lin Huo looked at the meat hanging on the wooden pole, and said with a sad face, "Lang, there's so much meat, we can't finish it. It would be a pity if it went bad."

Wang Lang said: "We will take out some meat and send it to the grassland in a few days. There are more people there, and the meat should be eaten."

Lin Huo sighed, and said, "That's the only way to go. It's really cheap for those guys like Jianya, who made so much meat without doing anything."

Wang Lang smiled and said: "They are all clansmen, what is yours and mine? Aren't they also planting corn over there?"

Lin Huo smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually."

After Wuyun and Heishi on the river saw the wooden fence, they rowed hard forward a few times. After landing, the two ran towards the tribe without stopping.

"Lang, open the door!" Wu Yun shouted loudly outside the wall now.

Wang Lang and Lin Huo looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of panic in each other's eyes. At this time, Wu Yun and the others suddenly came here, and the two of them subconsciously thought that something must have happened in the grassland.

Wang Lang hurried over to open the wooden door, and after the two entered, he quickly asked, "Why are you here? Did something happen to everyone?"

Wu Yun gasped for a few breaths, and said after breathing steadily: "Everyone is fine, don't worry, I have other things to do this time."

Wang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and said again and again: "It's good that people are fine."

Wang Lang calmed down and asked Lin Huo to bring two bowls of water. After drinking the water, the two told everyone what happened.
