The Rebirth of Crazy Ger

 Chapter 17

    "Of course he is very different!" Although he was surprised by the lunatic's initiative to ask, Xiao Ruo still replied enthusiastically.

    "Brother Heng belongs to the Winged white tiger clan, an ancient beastman clan. Our clan has difficulty in giving birth, and our number is now very small, but they are extremely rare, even rarer than gers. You see, we are actually a very ordinary tiger clan, can the difference be insignificant?!"

    As he spoke, Xiao Ruo smiled and pushed Lai Yuan who was behind him with his elbow and said, "Speaking of which, when Brother Heng appeared, we were all terrified. We never expected to see a member of the ancient beast clan in our lifetime."

    "Yes." Lai Yuan who was pushed and shoved said in agreement, with an expression of admiration on his honest face he said: "At the beginning, our tribe encountered a wave of beast tide, and the whole tribe was almost wiped out. Brother Heng led our people to flee to this place to settle down."

    Mu ger also recalled what happened at that time, he said: "A Jin, our life is stable now. You don't know, our tribe used to live in the jungle, and no one wants to live in the jungle, because your life is in danger at any time. When the beast tide happened, we were all resting in the jungle, and we didn't feel the beast tide at all. When we knew it, tens of thousands of wild beasts were only a few hundred meters away from our position..."

    "Yes, at that time I really thought I was doomed." Xiao Ruo said again with admiration in his tone: "Later Brother Heng descended from the sky, and said with a particularly imposing manner, he asked everyone to follow him. That aura combined with his unique beast form, back then we were so frightened by him that we instinctively listened to his words and came to this place. Fortunately, we listened to him, otherwise we would have been wiped out long ago."

    The three kept talking, and in the end it was no longer they were telling Wang Jin about the man, but chatting with each other about the past.

    Lai Yuan said: "At that time, Xiao Ruo, you were still a child at that time, and you were so scared that you cried. I remember you cried so loudly."

    Xiao Ruo scratched his head embarrassedly, he blushed and said: "Was I that young? How old was I at that time, I remember that Brother Heng's beast form looked like he had just grown up, didn't you also just grow up back then?"

    Lai Yuan raised his head and thought for a while, then he frowned and said: "I think Brother Heng wasn't yet an adult at that time. At that time after he saved our people, I saw Brother Heng was exhausted. If the ancient beastmen had grown up, they wouldn't be so tired like him, and in order to save Yue ger at that time, he was even scratched by a giant beast on his face, until now, the scar couldn't be removed, how could an adult ancient beastman be injured by a giant beast..." 

    Wang Jin's eyes flashed, it turned out the man got that scar because he saved Yue ger!     

    Xiao Ruo said: "If back then he wasn't an adult back then, shouldn't Brother Heng be younger than Brother Yuan?"

     "Eh..." Lai Yuan paused, not knowing how to answer, Xiao Ruo was happy, he said again: "Then, everyone in this tribe always calls Brother (big brother) Heng except for the gray-haired ones, and they call him brother for many years?!"

    Lai Yuan rubbed his upper and lower lip, trying to refute but found that there were no words to refute, and finally he could only murmur: "That’s because Brother Heng doesn't want to mention his age and past. How old is he, we all don't know, and he hasn't said anything about what happened to him before..."

    Xiao Ruo stopped laughing, he thought about it for a while and then he nodded and said: "Indeed , Brother Heng never mentioned it."

    Was the man's past so mysterious? Wang Jin was surprised.

    That Xiao Ruo slowed down for a while, but then he waved his hands as if wanting to shake off the thoughts in his head: "Oh, brother Heng is not someone who can say such things, so we just treat him as a minor back then. Anyway, since then, so many years have passed, except for the beast tide when I saw Brother Heng got injured and collapsed from exhaustion, I have never seen him like that when we were hunting together.”

    Lai Yuan sighed: "Actually, Brother Heng is the benefactor of our tribe, and this place is also brought by him. The first time we came here, there were already many houses. I think a tribe used to live in this place before, this place has a good terrain, every year even though there is a beast tide, this place could always avoided it perfectly, this makes the people in the tribe safe for many years. When the old leader was around, he respected Brother Heng as a benefactor, but when the old leader passed away... the new leader..."

    "Hey... If it's not because Brother Heng is not of the same race as us, he probably should be our new leader now. Those young beastmen in the tribe now like to listen to Brother Heng the most." Xiao Ruo said.

    Listening silently beside them, Wang Jin finally understood why the man was not the leader of the Danmu tribe even though he was the strongest, because no one from a different race from the tribe was ever allowed to be the leader in the tribe.

    When he thought about it this way, wasn't the man's status in the Danmu tribe embarrassing? He was the strongest but he wasn't from the same race as the rest of the tribe. Didn't the leader of the Danmu tribe take him as a thorn in his side all the time?

    Lai Yuan shook his head: "They listen to Brother Heng when they go hunting only, but when they come back to the tribe, they avoid Brother Heng for fear that the leader will cause trouble for them because of Brother Heng." 

    Xiao Ruo frowned and said, "I can understand that the leader feels uncomfortable because Brother Heng's existence does pose a threat to his position, but the beastmen rely on strength to be the leader of the tribe. How can he blame others for his own weaker strength? Besides, Brother Heng has never fought for the position of leader with him. Why can't the leader understand it? He becomes more and more eccentric, when the meat was distributed before, it was alright if only to give Brother Heng less deliberately, but he also gave him the worst for the house matter. This place is originally Brother Heng's, and he brought everyone to live in this place. It stands to reason that Brother Heng can live wherever he wants. But the leader actually gave Brother Heng the most remote house with the worst light. Brother Heng has a gentle temper so he didn't say anything back then. Later the leader also  agreed that the number one warrior would marry the number one beautiful ger in the tribe, but in the end he even made the lunatic..."

    "Xiao Ruo!" Mu ger called Xiao Ruo, and then said displeasedly: "A Jin is still here, and besides, how can Yue ger is better than A jin? I think A Jin is more beautiful than Yue ger, and he is much better than Yue ger."

    Xiao Ruo knew that he had said something wrong, so he patted his mouth quickly, and looked at Wang Jin flatteringly, "I only think that the leader is a bit too much, there is no other meaning, Jin ger, don't be offended."

   Wang Jin snorted coldly, and rolled his eyes at Xiao Ruo, and Xiao Ruo who was looking at him became a little dumbfounded.

    "It's more than that. I think Brother Heng is quite satisfied with Jin ger, but..." Lai Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "Before those three gers pushed Mumu and Jin ger to the dangerous area. According to the rules, those three should be expelled from the tribe, but now, not only they are not expelled from the tribe, they didn't even get punishment at all. Let them talk nonsense outside..."

    "A Yuan!" Mu ger stopped Lai Yuan from going on, as if he was afraid that Wang Jin would hear what he wanted to say next, after that he glanced at Wang Jin cautiously. 

    Wang Jin blinked his eyes in confusion, and asked curiously, "What nonsense are they talking about?" 

    "..." Lai Yuan and Xiao Ruo couldn't talk.

    Mu ger smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's nothing more than the discord between the leader and Brother Heng, everyone in the tribe knows about it, let them talk if they want to talk. But A Jin doesn’t have to worry, it’s a blessing for the tribe to have Brother Heng, and the leader dare not to do anything. Even if Brother Heng is out of the tribe, he can come and go in the jungle freely by himself, and he can live well wherever he goes, so don't worry about it."

    "..." Wang Jin seemed never worried about his matter either.

    Wang Jin pursed his lips, he instinctively felt that the so-called "nonsense" was not this, he was about to speak when he saw the man walking in from outside with a handful of herbs: "It's so lively."
