Chapter 89: I’m Tired Of This Lonely Life

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiang packed up the remaining food, wrapped the lunch boxes with a picnic mat, and handed it to A Lu Ge. He held a large bag of food and looked at her with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Xu Xiang. You are very kind." He thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Xiang looked at his happy expression, smiled slightly and said, "You’re welcome."

The two of them walked all the way back to the camp of the Xiuluo tribe. Although they didn’t speak along the way, they were in a good mood. When they saw the faint light of the bonfire in the center of the camp, A Lu Ge suddenly stopped.

Noticing that A Lu Ge just stood there, Xu Xiang turned around, looked at him and found that he seemed not as happy as before. She followed his line of sight and saw the people from the Xiuluo tribe walking towards the open space in the center of the camp for dinner.

Before she could ask what was wrong, he suddenly whispered, "If I could grow our own food like the people from the Zhiwu tribe, the people in my tribe will never go hungry every day again, right?"

When Xu Xiang heard his question, she thought about how much A Lu Ge could eat in one meal before he was full. She glanced at him, and then at the camp of the Xiuluo tribe.

After a long silence, she asked, "Do you want to live a better life?"

Hearing Xu Xiang’s question, A Lu Ge nodded and said, "Yes."

She looked at him with a smile and touched his head lightly. Looking at the firmness in his eyes, she asked, "What if I say I can help you live a better life? Will you believe and follow me?"

He looked at her in silence for a long time, nodded, and said firmly: "If you can really change our fates and lead us to a better life, then I will believe in you. I will follow you."

She nodded at him and said, "Good. Remember what you said today."

Turning to look at the camp of the Xiuluo tribe, she thought: ’In my previous life, all my comrades in arms were dead, my family members betrayed me, and I have lived alone for a very long time. I’m tired of this lonely life. Maybe... These people are worthy of my trust like my comrades in arms. Should I give them and myself a chance? But... What if I am betrayed again?’

As she was considering if the Xiuluo tribe was worthy of her trust, she headed towards the camp of the Xiuluo tribe. A Lu Ge stood there, looking at her lonely back for a while, before catching up with her. When they reached the camp, the moon was slowly rising over the horizon.

When they arrived at Nalan Tuya’s tent, the moon was already hanging in the night sky. Xu Xiang lifted the curtain and saw that there was no one inside.

She turned to look at A Lu Ge and said, "There is no one inside. Should I wait for Miss Nalan to come back before going inside? It is inappropriate for me to go in when the owner is not around."

A Lu Ge looked at the empty tent and frowned. He scratched his head and said, "I think it’s fine for you to go in. Didn’t Elder Sister Tuya say that you can stay here before?"

Xu Xiang nodded and A Lu Ge said with a smile: "Then it’s fine for you to go inside. The people of my Xiuluo tribe are not people who break their promises. You can stay here with peace of mind."

She thought for a while and said, "I understand. Thank you, A Lu Ge, for leading the way."

Hearing her calling his name for the first time, A Lu Ge grinned at her and said, "Mhm! Thank you for sharing the delicious food, too."

He looked at the big package in his hand, looked at her and said, "Then I will go back first, before my elder brothers go out for night hunting. See you tomorrow and good night, Xu Xiang."

Nodding at him, she said, "Good night."

A Lu Ge waved to her and ran back to his and his brothers’ tent happily. Since their father was a chieftain of the Xiuluo tribe, they did not live in the same tent as him. Walking into the tent, Xu Xiang sat on the soft animal skin rug and closed her eyes.

Because she didn’t know when Nalan Tuya would come back, Xu Xiang didn’t enter her space, but used her consciousness instead. Just as she was busy working in the space with her consciousness, A Lu Ge had already entered his family’s tent.

He went in and saw only his second elder brother and fourth elder brother inside. Putting down the big package, he sat down around the small bonfire in the center of the tent and asked, "Where is the eldest brother and third elder brother?"

A Lu Yu smiled and said, "Eldest Brother is going out to hunt for father, and A Lu Qian is taking care of father now."

The fourth brother, A Lu Zhi, pointed to the big package beside A Lu Ge and asked, "What is that?"

A Lu Ge grinned and said, "This is the food Xu Xiang gave me. We couldn’t finish it, so I asked her if she could give me the rest of the food. She agreed, and I’ll bring them back for you guys to try."

While talking, he opened the package and showed them the food boxes. Seeing more than ten boxes of food in front of them, A Lu Yu and A Lu Zhi glanced at each other before A Lu Yu looked at A Lu Ge.

A Lu Yu pointed to the food boxes and asked with a smile, "Why did she give you these foods?"

He glanced at the food boxes, looked at A Lu Ge again, and asked, "Also, what kind of food did she give you?"
