    Because of the flood, the city lord approached Chen Qiao. This old man had a weird temperament, but everyone was still willing to believe him and believed that he would be a good city lord.

    The city lord wanted Chen Qiao to use a boat to ferry the victims across the river first, to help the severely affected families survive the most difficult period, and then help them rebuild their homes after the flood receded.

    Chen Qiao naturally has no objection to this proposal. Borrowing a boat is a trivial matter.  But he didn't want his son to work as a coolie on the boat every day, so he proposed to find a few strong young men and let them learn to punt the boat. In the future, the boat would be used by residents on both sides to cross the river.

    The old man seemed very pleased with his generosity.  Afterwards, he inquired about Dila's fortifications by the river. He heard from Sansu that the eldest son of Chen Qiao's family was planning to build a big one.

    "It's just bigger than the current boat. It's just a means of transportation." Chen Qiao answered.

    Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to say more, Brother Geng didn¡¯t ask any more questions.  Before leaving, Brother even said that if you need any help, just go to him, and Chen Qiao readily agreed.

    Although my brother's attitude was very cordial today, Chen Qiao still felt that something was wrong.  Because they have attracted the attention of the city lord, no matter when and where, anything beyond people's awareness is more or less terrifying.  Those in power, no matter how broad-minded they are, do not want their existing interests to be threatened in the slightest.

    This city has its own authority, and Chen Qiao doesn¡¯t want to face them. They are still too weak now.  And right now, the most important thing is to build the boat and return to his tribe. He doesn't want to cause trouble.

    It seems that they still have to leave here as soon as possible. Once Dila's ship is built, they will embark on their return journey. I hope there will be no more mistakes in the process.

    The heavy rain still has no tendency to stop. It keeps raining like this every day. Although this side of the river is not affected, if it continues like this, the fields will become waterlogged, and I am afraid there will be no harvest this year.

    For those victims, most were placed in the redundant houses of the city lord's family, and some were taken in by kind-hearted people.  Because of the mobilization of the city lord, the residents in the city have more or less expressed their opinions.

    Chen Qiao is a little embarrassed. They have not been in this city for a long time, their foundation is too shallow, and their food reserves are still very small.  But in the end, he still took in a group of helpless orphans. These children are not yet considered a labor force, and few ordinary families are willing to take them in. Even after the disaster has passed, survival will still be a big problem.

    These children have been starving for the past few days. Their eyes gleamed when they saw food, and a large basket of pancakes was finished in a few strokes.  Thinking that he would have to take on the important task of feeding these children for a considerable period of time, Chen Qiao felt quite headache.

    In addition to food, we also need to provide them with clothes and quilts.  Chen Qiao has been tortured by these children these past two days, and there are some who have suddenly become taciturn because of the disaster at home. Chen Qiao must also think of ways to enlighten them.

    A few days later, Chen Qiao went to the city lord's house. Because of the disaster victims, the old man was also very busy these two days.  As soon as I stopped to take a rest, I heard that Chen Qiao was coming.

    For Chen Qiao, a sensitive person, the old man still has an extra mind.  When this family first came to this city, he had a good impression of them, but the more he saw them, the less sure he felt.  People always have some fear of unknown powers, and old man Ge Geng is no exception.

    "I came here today to tell you that after the boat is built, I want to take my family back to my tribe."

    "When will you leave?"

    "It may take nearly a month, it depends on Dila's progress."

    "Then what's your plan for coming here today?"

    "Our tribe is different from here. There are many things available in this city that are not available there."

    ¡°¡­¡± Brother didn¡¯t even answer, waiting for him to continue.

    "We will sail back by ourselves this time. If everything goes smoothly, it will be much more convenient for us to travel back and forth in the future."

    "You want to change?"

    "Yes, we have some things that are not available in this city."

    "Of course there is no problem with this." I'm afraid you want more than that.

    "The people in our tribe have no clothes to wear, and I want to learn weaving." Chen Qiao got straight to the point. When dealing with people like Ge Geng, the more you beat around the bush, the more disgusted he will be.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to come and ask me for advice on this.¡± There is no so-called intellectual property in this era. Ever since a middle-aged man passing by taught them the art of weaving,Almost every household with a woman here has a textile machine, and there is no need to cover it up.

    "I am here to ask for your permission on behalf of our tribe."

    "Yes, I agree." Brother agreed readily, and then quietly waited for his next words.

    ¡°This time when I go back, I want to take back all the children who stayed at my house.¡±

    "What do you want with so many children?" Brother asked more cautiously. Due to the limitations of productivity, ordinary families do not have much food left over.  Now that Chen Qiao wants to take away so many children at once, I can't help but be confused.  Just be afraid, Chen Qiao's tribe is a tribe with the desire to expand.

    "A few years ago, our tribe was attacked by wild beasts. There were too few survivors, and many of them were close blood relatives. Because they experienced a migration, they lost contact with several neighboring tribes.  .¡±

    Brother listened more carefully and motioned for Chen Qiao to continue.

    "Our population is too small. Only by constantly adding non-blood related aliens can the tribe thrive. The place where we are now is very good, but there are no other tribes nearby, so this time we are not far away.  Traveled thousands of miles to get here.¡±

    After Chen Qiao finished speaking, I was silent for a long time.  He seemed to be considering the credibility of Chen Qiao's words. He found no flaws in the whole process, and his experience told him that the young man in front of him could be trusted.

    But he was instinctively on guard. This young man was also terrifying to him.

    "Are you the leader of the tribe?"

    "No, Baya is the one."

    "and you?"

    "He only needs to take care of the most important things, and I will help with other chores."

    "Chores"

    "Yes, it's like the husband is responsible for raising the family, and the wife decides what the family will eat today."

    "Hehehe" The city leader laughed, and Chen Qiao was a little confused.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
