Chapter 117: Outstanding Donkey Tribe
The sky turned dark, and the people from the Green Tribe didn't leave. Typically, the celebration would last for several days before dispersing. Considering the leader of the Green Tribe's tendency to take advantage of situations, they were in no hurry to leave early and potentially lose out.
The caves of the Green Sparrow Tribe were not allocated for them to stay; instead, they were arranged in the courtyard. This treatment, compared to the previous celebration, was much better. After all, the tribes that hosted celebrations before didn't even have courtyards.
The Green Sparrow Tribe still had people keeping watch behind the three walls during the night.
People inside the caves were sleeping in batches tonight. Weapons were placed within easy reach. Even though there had never been any opportunistic attacks during the celebrations, caution was necessary, as food could be a tempting target.
The night passed without any incidents, and on the second day, two more tribes arrived.
Like the Green Tribe before them, they were bewildered by the transformed appearance of the Green Tribe and the abundance of food within the tribe. The unfamiliarity overwhelmed them.
They also showed great enthusiasm when facing the delicious salted fish soup, which they had never tasted before. Simultaneously, they expressed gratitude for the generous act of providing meals in the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Han Cheng, once again, gave names to these newly arrived tribes. The first one was called the Sheep Tribe, as most people in this tribe were dressed in sheepskin.
As for naming the other tribe the Donkey Tribe, it was not because they were all clad in donkey hides but because the people in this tribe had a darker complexion.
If it were solely based on this aspect, it wouldn't have much to do with calling them the Donkey Tribe. However, when you add another factor, you'll understand why the name fits so well.
Fortunately, it wasn't the winter season when food was extremely scarce, so people were less likely to take risks for food. These visiting tribes were generally peaceful, without a history of attacking other tribes. During the celebration, no major incidents occurred.
This eased Han Cheng's slightly raised concerns.
A few days later, these visiting tribes began to leave, with the Sheep Tribe being the first to depart, followed by the Green Tribe as the last to leave.
The main reason for the Green Tribe's delayed departure was the leader's penchant for taking advantage. By leaving late, they could enjoy more of the delicious food provided by the Green Sparrow Tribe, save their own tribe's food, and take back more seeds.
Upon departure, each visiting tribe received gifts from the Green Sparrow Tribe. These gifts were consumables like dried fish. While the tribes desired more than just dried fish, they coveted large vessels for cooking delicious food and bowls for holding it.
Han Cheng decided not to give them pottery items because, unlike dried fish, pottery could be reused. The Green Sparrow Tribe considered it a rare generosity to provide them with food during the celebration.
Thinking about the numerous foods consumed by these visitors in the past few days, Shaman couldn't help but curse these shameless individuals. Despite being full, they would come to the edge of the pot, asking the Green Sparrow Tribe members responsible for serving food to fill up half a bowl and then slowly consume it, seemingly unafraid of overeating.
Given the choice between pottery and dried fish, Shaman would choose pottery. Pottery had become quite common in the Green Sparrow Tribe and could be easily produced when needed.
Although Shaman felt a bit reluctant due to this decision made by the "Divine Child," he wouldn't oppose it. Shaman, once the Green Sparrow Tribe's primary sage, had lost confidence in his wisdom since the appearance of the "Divine Child" and chose not to dwell on such matters.
As for the pottery, Han Cheng had other arrangements.
