Chapter 38 Respectively
On the ninth day after arriving in the Red Leaf Tribe, Broly was invited by the leader of the Red Leaf Tribe to go to the deep water area to participate in the collection of freshwater oyster pearls.
“We will use fermented spit fish meat balls with a strong smell to attract dangerous fish in deep water areas.
After attracting dangerous fish, the diving masters in the tribe Only then will he take the opportunity to dive into the deep water area. .
There are some large freshwater clams at the bottom. You can use whole pieces of fresh fish meat to lure them into opening their shells. When they open their shells, you can use the branches you brought down to pick out the pearls in their mouths. .
Pearls the size of peas can be exchanged for six or seven bags of flour. If pearls larger than peas can be dug, of good quality, they can even be exchanged for half a month's rations for the tribe, or some iron utensils.
But be careful not to harm those big shellfish, so that they will produce new pearls again in a few years..."
On the boat, Ridley and Bu Raleigh talked about the work of the Red Leaf tribe to supplement their household income. They are the Red Leaf tribe. The pearl-gathering tribe in the forest makes money by sneaking into dangerous deep-water swamp areas to collect freshwater oyster pearls underwater.
“Broly, you are very powerful. If you are willing to join the Red Leaf Tribe, I can give you the position of clan leader. ”
After Lidrill introduced the Red Leaf Tribe’s money-making business, he directly invited Broly.
These days, he has been silently observing the boy's condition and knows that Broly has a good character, attaches great importance to his companions, and more importantly, has terrifying strength.
If he were to be the leader of the Red Leaf Tribe, he would definitely be able to develop the Red Leaf Tribe regardless of the fact that the Mizusawa District is separated by a mangrove land.
So, after discovering that the boy seemed to be preparing to leave the tribe with some children who did not want to stay in the tribe, Lidrill had the idea of inviting the boy out to talk.
As a tribesman who is not very civilized, as the leader of the tribe, Lidrill did not have so many twists and turns, and directly invited with the utmost sincerity.
“Stay, the Red Leaf Tribe can be a destination for you and other children.”
To be honest, Lidrill was very sincere, and he was even willing to give up his position as patriarch to an outsider.
But it is useless no matter how sincere he is, because even if Broly agrees, the Crystal Palace will forcibly send him back to his original world after the stay time is up.
"I can't stay." Broly shook his head, "Other people who no longer have a home can stay if they want to, but there are some people who want to go home, I am ready to send them back. . ”
Although the children who stayed in the Hongye tribe and followed him out of the forest all lived a stable life, there were still some children who had no sense of belonging here and they envied Rivarina. Being able to go home, I also want to go back to my real home.
“Do you know where their home is?”
Riddle asked.
"Those who want to go home have told me about the place where they lived before, although I don't know the way."
Broly told the truth.
“If you don’t know the way, how can you send them back?”
“I don’t know the way here either, but I still brought them here.”
Broly didn't find it difficult to send people home, he had already done so in the previous world.
"The road of the empire is not easy to follow, but with your strength, it should be fine."
Riddler sighed, knowing that Broly could not be kept, so he gave up.
"Can you help me get some pearls?"
Broly nodded.
In one day, he brought up more pearls from the deep water than anyone else.
"Have you cleared out all the freshwater shellfish in this area?"
Seeing a bunch of pearls on the boat, Lidrill smiled bitterly. The boy was so efficient. It's too high. This deep water area may not be used for a year or two.
At night, back at the Red Leaf Tribe, Broly discussed leaving with other children, and some children already knew about it.
"I'm sorry, Brother Broly, I'm going to stay here."
This is the thought of most children without a home. They finally found a place to stay and no longer want to live a wandering life.
"I want to go back. I don't believe that my parents sold me. It must be a lie told by the slave traders. I want to go back and find out the truth."
This is a person who wants to go home. The other people who want to go home have homes, but due to their age, they don’t know the specific location of their homes. They only remember a simple place name of the area where they once lived.
"We need a map."
Nahashu said that he had no home, but he wanted to leave with Broly.
"Where is the map?"
Broly asked. The children who were willing to leave with him looked at each other. They had almost been drifting with the crowd before.
"I have a map, although it's not very accurate."
Lidrill walked in from the outside at this time and said, holding a parchment roll and a package in his hand.
“This is a map that my father, the previous chief of the Hongye tribe, exchanged from a merchant. My father once wanted to take the pearls collected by our tribe and sell them at a good price within the empire.
But it failed. The people of the empire are very repellent to foreign races. Not only the thieves targeted us, but also some lords and nobles. We suffered heavy losses, and this map was shelved within the clan.
It is of no use to our tribe now, but it may be useful to you who want to return to the Empire. "
Riddler said as he handed over the parchment scroll map. This was something from more than ten years ago, but it was well preserved and the patterns and text on it were quite clear.
Although Broly can't understand the map, Nahashu can. He is a learned man and seems to have received a good education in the past, even training in etiquette.
"Very old things. , it is indeed a map of the empire, Green’s home is probably here. ”
Nahasiu found Green's home from above. Of course, it was only the approximate location on the map. The specific location would not be clear until it was nearby.
“If you are not in a hurry to leave, wait for two months in the tribe, and there will be ship dealers passing by nearby. They can take you back to the empire, and I will help pay the money.”
“ I don't have that much time." Broly shook his head, as he only had 49 days left in this world.
“But if you don’t need me to take you home, you can stay here.”
Broly said to the children who were going home, but no one wanted to stay.
After all, the big brother can be seen with his own eyes. If you follow him, you can walk out like a walk even in a forest full of dangerous species.
So, it would be safer to be escorted home by your eldest brother.
"Since you are all leaving, this is the practical gift I have prepared for you."
Lidrel seemed to have anticipated this situation and directly put down the package in his hand.
When the package was opened, the pearls inside were revealed.
“After going to the empire, unlike here, there are many places where money is needed. Our tribe does not have the empire’s money, but there are pearls that can be exchanged for money. We can exchange these pearls for Money will make your journey easier.”
Of course, troubles can happen easily if you have money, but Lidrill looked at Broly, and there should be no problem with this powerful kid.
“Thank you, Chief Ridril.”
“You’re welcome. You have also helped our tribe a lot. Needless to say, you helped Rivarina return home, and you also moved here. With the presence of a mangrove forest and the adjacent mangrove forest, our Red Leaf Tribe can expand into a larger tribe.”
In swamp areas, the area of mangroves determines the size of the tribes living there. The larger the mangroves, the better they can support people.
"Hey, what do you need?"
Broly tilted his head.
"Then let me move some more for you?"
Lidrel opened his mouth, but did not say a word of rejection.
"If it's possible, I'll trouble you."
In half the night, Broly moved a bunch of mangroves from other parts of the Shuizhen District. If Chief Lidrill hadn't stopped midway, he said Maybe we can move all the surrounding mangroves here.
“Always leave some as a transit point.”
The mangrove area in his family expanded nearly ten times in this way, which made Chief Lidrill feel a little embarrassed. He only had a map and a bag. Pearl has received so many rewards.
The next day, Chief Lidrill gave the Red Leaf Tribe’s largest ship to Broly and the children who were leaving with him.
Broly originally had 73 friends with him, but now only 14 are left. The other children are at the new border of the Red Leaf Tribe, and he sent them away with red eyes.
After sharing the joys and sorrows of their journey, these helpless children have long established a sincere friendship.
We have to say goodbye now, and we may never see each other again, so naturally it is extremely sad.
"Nahasho, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that you are a child of a noble family."
"It doesn't matter, after all, what you said is right."
"Bonnie, stop picking poisonous mushrooms, they are really inedible."
"But that one is really delicious."
"Bang!"
Cornelia knocked her on the head and said to her companions on the shore: "I will watch her."
"Tsukushi, we will always remember your barbecue."
"If I have a chance, I will come back and make food for you."
"Red eyes and black eyes, don't steal brother's meat."
"We didn't steal it, he took the initiative to give it to you. Ours.”
The twin-eyed sisters felt that they had been slandered.
……
"Brother Broly, we will always remember you!"
Finally, everyone shouted.
The parting words touched Broly a little, and he seemed to experience a feeling of reluctance.
At the same time, I still miss Fujimura Taiga who was kind to me in another world.
"I will also try to remember you."
Broly responded to them, and the reason why he tried hard was because he didn't remember everyone's name or appearance.
After all, seventy people is too many, and she is not a wife recognized by the Crystal Palace.
The boat sailed far away from the Hongye tribe.
The sadness of parting gradually subsided, and Green suddenly asked Nahasiu: "Are you really a noble?"
"It's just an illegitimate child. I have become a slave. He is just a useless person. Identity.”
This is a simple question and answer between two friends who have changed their mood.
After Broly changed his mood, what he thought was: he can find a wife elsewhere.
