Chapter 333: Eating Regret
Chapter 333: Eating Regret
Because the mountains are very humid and there are cumulus clouds near the top of the mountain, and the sun is not visible, sometimes the wood picked up is wet and it is extremely difficult to start a fire. Dry wood is a very important and precious fuel in the Moon Tribe.
Every household in the tribe uses fuel sparingly, and only lights bonfires during major festivals.
Now a grand bonfire party is held for Jiang Lili.
Under the glow of moonlight and bonfire, Jiang Lili's white dress was like bright clouds under the moon, making her look otherworldly.
Jiang Lili saved the most respected chief of the Moon Tribe and cured the snake venom that would have been fatal, and has been revered as a god.
Seeing the Moon Clan members bowing down to Jiang Lili, Xi Chengyun dropped the lamb leg in his hand.
The other herdsmen also stopped crying at the same time, perhaps because they were choked by the food in their mouths or because they were stunned by Jiang Lili on the sedan chair.
The tall and mighty warriors of the Moon Tribe came towards the herdsmen carrying jars of wine.
The herdsmen's first reaction was to cover their heads and hide, fearing that the Moon Tribe people would smash the wine jars on their heads.
Unexpectedly, the other party bent down and just took the wine jar to pour wine for them, which made the herdsmen flattered.
They also got better and even asked the Moon Clan members to pour them some wine!
I must brag about it to my fellow villagers in the tribe when I go back!
It was not until Jiang Lili got off the sedan chair that the herdsmen took a long time to digest the fact that the Moon Tribe, whom they had been afraid of for a hundred years, was also revered as a goddess.
Although they didn't know what happened, they understood from the mumblings and gestures of the surrounding Moon Tribe people that the goddess had saved the leader of the tribe.
The herdsmen recalled that they had only been imprisoned for less than a day, but the situation outside had changed and the goddess had turned the tables. They were all at a loss as to what to do.
Herder 1: "It seems... we are the ones who have been holding back?"
Nomad 2: "Do you feel like we are dispensable?"
Herdsman 3: "Why are we here in the mountains?"
Xi Chengyun took a bite of the roasted lamb leg: "Uh...are you here to eat?"
Jiang Lili was invited to her exclusive VIP dining seat, right opposite the four herdsmen.
On a huge camphorwood low table were placed crystal clear wild fruits and fine wines. In the middle was the hardest dish, a whole roasted lamb that was carefully roasted to a golden color.
In the clay pot next to it, fresh venison and wild game were stewed into a rich and fragrant soup.
The Moon Clan member next to Jiang Lili cut the whole roasted lamb for her and served her soup. Jiang Lili was almost dizzy from the aroma, but due to her status as a goddess, she could not just eat the lamb chops.
Jiang Lili tasted several dishes and they all tasted unexpectedly good. She couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the food in your tribe to be so delicious."
"We didn't know how to cook..." Jida paused here, then turned his gaze to the seat in the northwest, where Lu Renjia was grunting while eating.
Jida sighed and continued, "It was Xiaolu who taught us how to prepare food, add seasonings, and remove the mutton smell of food."
The other Moon Clan members also pondered for a while after hearing this. During the time when the little deer had just woken up after being struck by lightning, it was indeed like a different person and helped them a lot. In return, they gave Xiaolu the best living conditions as well as precious livestock, herbs, and gems, and obeyed Xiaolu's orders unconditionally.
However, her disrespectful act of blowing up the temple made the Moon Clan people angry.
Jiang Lili heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Renjia was also taken to a seat. It seemed that the Moon Clan members had become much more friendly towards Xiaolu.
She glanced at the stunned herdsmen and felt uncomfortable being stared at by such idiots: "Why are you looking at me? Keep eating."
The four of them recalled all the doubts and disobedience they had shown to Jiang Lili before going up the mountain. They had no appetite at this moment and felt that every bite of rice was filled with regret and sourness.
They opened their mouths, but didn't know how to express their apology and regret. However, after this battle, they knew clearly that following the goddess was the right thing to do, and there would be meat to eat!
Xi Chengyun looked at the empty space beside Jiang Lili and couldn't help asking, "Goddess, where is the male messenger?"
Jiang Lili's expression froze for a moment: "He's not hungry."
Xi Chengyun stopped talking immediately. He didn't know how he had offended the saint, but it was better for him to shut up.
After Jida and the Moon Clan sat down, he raised his glass to Jiang Lili and said, "Thank you, goddess, for saving my life. I'll toast to you."
Jiang Lili raised her glass in response. After drinking it, she got straight to the point while everyone was here, "I wonder if Brother Jida and the other Moon Tribe folks have come across the lost horses from our Haibei Ranch?"
"They went missing four days ago. There were thirty-two horses in all."
Wen Qiao had already asked the Moon Clan branch where Yue Ning was located, and those Moon Clan members had never seen even a single horse hair, let alone such a large group of horses.
After hearing Jiang Lili's words, Jida repeated Jiang Lili's question loudly and asked the tribesmen to pass it on and ask each of them one by one.
Then he replied to Jiang Lili: "There is no herd of horses on our mountain. Is it your mount that is lost? We will definitely try our best to help you find it back."
Jiang Lili gave a grateful smile: "Thank you."
Jiang Lili relayed the words of the Moon Tribe to the four herdsmen. Although the four herdsmen were dull and timid, they were not that stupid.
Considering the way he had seen Yue Ning kill the wild boar before, he guessed that it was most likely the royal family of the Kingdom of Mi that was behind this, and that they had been deceived by the leader they trusted the most.
And they knew that they might encounter danger when they went up the mountain. If the goddess was not there, they would be in danger if they encountered wild boars, or they would easily anger the Moon Clan because of the language barrier. The royal family did not take their lives seriously at all.
Thinking of this, the four of them lost their appetite and had a hard time eating.
Soon, Wen Qiao was brought to the tribe by the Moon Clan members guarding the entrance of the tribe. Seeing Jiang Lili surrounded by food and gifts like the moon surrounded by stars, Wen Qiao smiled heartily: "You are a step late. It seems that our goddess has already shown her magical powers."
Jiang Lili smiled and said, "Not too late, just in time for dinner."
When Jida saw the patrolling guards bringing back a strange woman, he immediately became alert. But when he saw that Jiang Lili was familiar with the woman, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Lili curiously: "Is this also a messenger of God? How did she find this place?"
Before Jiang Lili could say anything, the Moon Clan member who came with Wen Qiao presented the parchment scroll that Wen Qiao had given him to Jeddah.
Behind the parchment scroll are words written by the chief of the Moon Tribe to the Moon Tribe branch.
When Jeddah saw the words written on the parchment scroll that Wen Qiao, the messenger of God, took turns to knock down the strong warriors of their Moon Clan, his eyes widened in surprise and he looked at Wen Qiao in disbelief.
