Chapter 83: Secret Meeting
Nalan Tuya looked at A Lu Da and said, "My maternal grandmother said that our land and waters are not suitable for growing any crops. But we can’t just rely on animals hunted by the Lang tribe, or trade grain with the Jia Tribe. If we want to improve our life, the first thing we must do is produce our own food."
A Lu Da looked into her bright eyes for a moment, and asked, "You want to bring this carbon filter to the Zhiwu Tribe?"
Looking at his cold expression, Nalan Tuya realized that she was too impatient. She touched his hand gently and said, "I’m not going to bring this thing to the Zhiwu Tribe. I just..."
She lowered her eyes and said softly: "I just want other tribes to have access to clean water too. Besides, if the Zhiwu tribe can successfully grow crops, wouldn’t our Xiuluo tribe also benefit from it?"
A Lu Da looked at his fiancée’s sad expression, and didn’t speak for a long time. Although what Nalan Tuya said was true, he didn’t like to be manipulated by her.
Looking away, he said coldly: "This is not something you can interfere with. Eat quickly before the food gets cold."
Sensing his displeasure, Nalan Tuya decided not to talk about this matter for now. She smiled at him and ate in silence. After the two of them finished their lunch, they went back to their daily work.
At the same time, in the tent of one of the elders of the Xiuluo tribe, several elders were having a secret meeting while sitting around a small bonfire. There were a few pieces of meat left on the grill above the small bonfire. Tu Han stabbed a piece of grilled meat with a small dagger and put the grilled meat in his mouth.
While chewing the meat, he said, "That brat dared to threaten me. Who does he think he is?!"
