Chapter 62: Scapegoat
At this time, the Lian tribal clan Patriarch compound.
“What!? This bitch Jiang Xiaorou had ran off?”
Upon hearing the news, the teacup in Lian Chengyu’s crumbled!
“Pa!”
The hot tea splattered, giving Zhao Tiezhu a shock.
He did not know why Lian Chengyu had worked up such a temper. In fact, Lian Chengyu had an inferiority complex but was also a proud man. In front of the large tribe’s elites, he had to be inferior, but in front of the poor people of the Lian tribal clan, he would not allow anything that was detrimental to his pride.
For example Jiang Xiaorou, although Lian Chengyu wanted Jiang Xiaorou, he had never expressed such a desire in front of his subordinates. It was like an emperor taking a liking to a small court girl. He would only visit, but never chase.
How could a cheap commoner be worthy of his pursuit?
That was the reason why Zhao Tiezhu did not know about Lian Chengyu’s designs on Jiang Xiaorou. Even now, he was still at a loss, why would Lian Chengyu be so angry with Jiang Xiaorou running away?
“Leave!” Lian Chengyu waved his hand. His expression was gloomy. I did not expect the bitch to be that stubborn, willing to die than to be possessed by me!
One of the reasons Lian Chengyu was so angry was because he coveted Jiang Xiaorou’s exceptional temperament and looks.
The second reason why was the key reason. Lian Chengyu, having lived in the resource poor Lian tribal clan, had always been able to get anything he wanted. But he had to bend over just to obtain a discarded piece of resource from a large tribal clan. This accumulated to the point of him having an extreme desire in his heart.
He wanted to obtain things that did not belong to him, and if it belonged to him, no one could touch it.
To Lian Chengyu, Jiang Xiaorou belonged to the Lian tribal clan, so she was exclusively his.
It was alright if he couldn’t obtain the things of others, but the things in the Lian tribal clan was his and his family’s. So there was nothing that made him angrier than her escaping!
“This bitch might already be dead.”
A fifteen year old girl had to have a lot of courage to escape into the vast wilderness alone as it was equivalent to suicide.
And to send men to find her was impossible. The vast wilderness was so large, who would know which direction Jiang Xiaorou escaped to?
And sending dozens of his men from the warrior preparation camp would probably lead to some deaths. It was not worth it.
Very soon, Lian Chengyu received a second piece of news.
The men who had taken the Blood Thinning Pill had finally fallen ill! Actually the time for them to fall ill had already been delayed from Lian Chengyu’s original estimate.
They were all extremely weak and each cough coughed up blood.
These ill men were all the pillars of their family. They had originally hoped to earn some additional food for their family by refining the bones.
But now, the pillar was gone!
These few days, because of the lack of food, there were already a few people who had died of hunger and cold.
The first who died were the ill and the elderly.
The families with able-bodied men could barely make do, but without their men, their days ahead were unimaginable!
And for this, the Lian tribal clan upper echelon no longer came forward to provide assistance. They did not hand down food because Lian Chengyu had decided that these people would not last long, and had lost their value.
With the meagre amounts of food left in the tribe, they still had to carry on recruiting able-bodied men to refine the desolate bones.
Of course, after the best batch of fit men were maimed, the second batch were a bunch of mediocres. But it didn’t matter since the desolate bones were almost done refining.
Despite the Lian tribal clan’s upper echelon being so cold and heartless, the people were left in the dark. They did not know the truth, because it was all Yi Yun’s fault.
The desperate family members of the able-bodied men came to the Lian tribal clan Patriarch compound, hoping to be given some food, and hoping they could obtain a Blood Thinning Pill that had “saved” their men’s’ lives.
Of course in the eyes of the family members, that was a life-saving “miracle drug”.
But the Lian tribal clan upper echelons dismissed this requests. There were limited numbers of Blood Thinning Pills, and since it overdrafted on a person’s life force, why would they waste it on these people who had no chance of surviving?
As a spokesperson, Zhao Tiezhu arrogantly stood on a dais and gave a disdainful glance at the family members of those able-bodied men.
He was once a member of the poor, but now Zhao Tiezhu felt he was no longer poor. He had escaped the realm of the poor, and was different from the ant-like inferior creatures.
He was now a subordinate of Lian Chengyu. When Lian Chengyu becomes a Tai Ah Divine Kingdom warrior, or even a “Kingdom Knight”, he would be one of the servants of a Kingdom Knight!
You know how great is a Kin
