Chapter 172: Why Are You Here?

After A Lu Zhi finished speaking, everyone dispersed and went back to work. Before leaving there, A Lu Zhi looked at the two guards from the Xiuluo tribe and said, "If you find anything suspicious, report it to my third elder brother."

The two guards nodded and said, "Alright."

After saying that, A Lu Zhi went to find his father and the elders. Since Wula Gan and the elders from the Yishi tribe wanted to focus on the medicinal herb planting, all the decision-making power was handed over to Ha Tai and the two elders from Xiuluo Tribe. Without the involvement of the Yishi Tribe, the decision-making process has been accelerated.

Sitting on the floor cushion next to his father, A Lu Zhi had just finished explaining about the group of refugees and his conversation with Xu Xiang. Looking at Ha Tai and the two elders, A Lu Zhi said, "Xu Xiang and I both feel that we should prepare as soon as possible. Father and elders, what do you think?"

The fifth elder, Qi Nu’a, looked at A Lu Zhi and said, "We really need to strengthen our defenses. If no bandits come, then that is the best result. But if the bandits really come, then we will not be hopeless."

The third elder, Ba’a Ta’er agreed with Qi Nu’a, nodded and said, "The fifth elder is right. We should strengthen our village’s defense."

Ha Tai also agreed with them, and said, "Since everyone agrees, we should start preparing immediately. How about letting A Lu Qian lead the team to increase our village’s defense?"

Qi Nu’a nodded and said, "He is indeed the most suitable person to handle this matter. With his experience in traps and defense, there is no problem in defending against any surprise attack."

"Alright. Then we will leave this task to A Lu Qian." Ha Tai said calmly.

He looked at his fourth son again, and said, "A Lu Zhi, you go and inform your third elder brother about this matter."

A Lu Zhi nodded at his father, and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

After saying that, he stood up, bowed slightly to his father and the two elders, and then walked out of the room. Ba’a Ta’er looked at the closed door and said with a smile, "Ha Tai, you are very lucky."

Knowing what he meant, Ha Tai smiled proudly and said, "If you envy me, why don’t you quickly get married?"

Ba’a Ta’er laughed and said, "I’m already forty-two years old. Where can I find a woman to marry? Adopting a son is faster than getting married right now."

Hearing what he said, Ha Tai laughed, while Qi Nu’a just smiled. While the three of them were chatting leisurely, A Lu Zhi was searching for his third elder brother around the village. Unfortunately, after searching for more than twenty minutes, he didn’t even see A Lu Qian’s shadow.

Scratching his head while looking around, A Lu Zhi saw a group of women washing vegetables and fish by a well. When he got closer, he saw a few silver carp with length over one meter long inside a large wooden bucket. Judging from the size of those silver carp, it is estimated that each of them weigh at least one hundred catties.

A woman saw him staring at the silver carp in the wooden bucket, and said with a smile: "Isn’t the fish really big?"

A Lu Zhi raised his eyes, looked at the woman and said, "Yes. Did Xu Xiang give you these fishes?"

The woman nodded and said, "Yes. Miss Xu Xiang is really generous. She said these fishes are called silver carp and very delicious."

Getting interested in the silver carp, A Lu Zhi stayed and chatted with the women for a while. After chatting for more than five minutes, he suddenly remembered that he still had to go find his third elder brother.

He looked at those women again and asked, "Did any of you see my third elder brother?"

One of the women was from the Xiuluo tribe, so she naturally knew who his third elder brother was. She pointed to the direction of the dried-up river and said, "He went to that direction half an hour ago."

A Lu Zhi looked at the direction she was pointing at, then looked at her again, and said, "Thank you, Aunty. I need to go to find him now. It’s fun to chat with everyone. See you later."

The woman smiled at him and said, "Be careful, and come back early. We have fish soup for lunch today."

A Lu Zhi waved at them, and said as he walked: "All right."

Walking across the river, he saw a small uneven trail leading up to the mountain. The mountain was located not far from their village, but the trees were all withered. A Lu Zhi looked around and found that the location of this village was quite good.

Not far from the entrance of the village is a vast farmland, and the north of the village has a river and mountains. Sadly, with the current weather and prolonged drought, none of the plants can survive the harsh conditions and lack of water. If these plants can survive, it is not a problem for them to gather food from the mountain and water from the river.

After observing the surroundings for a while, he walked along the small path. After walking for more than ten minutes, he saw his third elder brother staring at a tree with a serious expression. Curious with what he is doing, A Lu Zhi approaches him.

Before A Lu Zhi had time to call him, A Lu Qian turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

A Lu Zhi looked at him with a smile, and said, "I asked the women who were washing cooking ingredients by the well, and one of them told me that you came here."

"Why are you looking for me?" A Lu Qian asked again.
