#1147 - Chapter 1147 Scarface is ambushed
The chieftain's actions served a dual purpose: firstly, to demonstrate the importance he placed on A'Diao, and secondly, to have him as his personal guard.
Soon after, it was lunchtime.
A'Diao and his sister received a generous amount of food.
It's worth mentioning that both he and his sister had astonishing appetites.
A'Diao could consume the food of ten people, while his sister could eat the amount of five.
However, the chieftain didn't mind this at all.
What did being able to eat matter?
Even if the tribe was poor, they wouldn't skimp on their food.
Not only did he not mind, but he also encouraged him to eat heartily. As long as he could eat, he would supply as much as he needed.
The tribesmen below also didn't mind.
With such a guardian, they would be much safer.
"Chieftain, something terrible has happened!"
Just as they were eating lunch, someone suddenly ran over to report.
"Speak! What is it?" the chieftain asked.
"Chieftain, A'Lao and the others... they're dead!" the person reporting shouted anxiously.
"Dead?" The chieftain was shocked.
He wasn't so much grieving for A'Lao, but rather worried that A'Lao's death would affect A'Diao's willingness to stay in the tribe.
In the past, he wouldn't have placed so much importance on a small character.
"What? Uncle is dead?" A'Diao immediately stood up upon hearing these words.
The chieftain, seeing A'Diao's reaction, felt a sense of foreboding.
But since the matter had already occurred, he could only respond proactively, so he said to A'Diao:
"A'Diao, let's go and take a look."
"Okay!"
Subsequently, A'Diao, carrying his sister on his back, followed the chieftain south, crossing the mountains again to return to the corpses of the four men.
A'Diao was now also somewhat nervous, worried that he might have revealed something, causing the people in the tribe to suspect him.
After arriving at the scene, the chieftain immediately examined the four bodies.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
"Wah ~"
A'Diao now could only go all the way, so upon seeing A'Lao's body, he immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry loudly.
However, his four-year-old sister stood to the side, neither crying nor laughing.
The chieftain, seeing how distressed A'Diao was, quickly went over to comfort him:
"A'Diao, don't be sad. Although A'Lao is dead, we are your family now."
"Chieftain! How could Uncle die? You must find the murderer!" A'Diao cried with tears in his eyes.
"Rest assured, no matter who killed them, I will spare no cost to make the murderer pay the price!" The chieftain solemnly guaranteed.
"Waaah~, thank you, Chieftain!" A'Diao hugged the chieftain's leg and continued to cry loudly.
"You few, take their bodies back and bury them properly!" The chieftain gently stroked A'Diao's head and instructed those nearby.
"Yes!"
The crowd obeyed and began to collect the bodies.
"Hahaha, Scarface, I didn't expect you to come in person!" Suddenly, a large group of people emerged from the forest, with a burly man leading them, laughing as he shouted.
"Not good! An ambush!"
The chieftain was startled, but then immediately relaxed.
With A'Diao here, probably no one could keep him.
"Black Fish, did you kill these four?" the chieftain, Scarface, asked.
"Do you believe me if I say I didn't?" the burly man, Black Fish, asked with a smile.
In his view, did it matter whether he killed them or not?
No.
Not only did he not hide it, but he also wanted Scarface to believe that he had killed these people.
Because saying so made him seem more awesome.
"I don't believe you!" the chieftain, Scarface, replied.
"Haha, then that's that. Not only them, but today, don't even think about escaping!" Black Fish pointed at him and said smugly.
"Hmph, if you want to keep me here, then we'll see if you have the ability!" Scarface said disdainfully.
At this time, A'Diao also stood up from the ground, standing right next to Scarface.
And his sister was hiding behind him.
"Come on, tie them all up. Kill anyone who dares to resist!" Black Fish ordered.
"Yes!"
His subordinates, some wielding short swords, some wielding sticks, continued to converge towards the center, shrinking the encirclement.
Scarface, who had only brought eight subordinates, didn't dare to act rashly and continued to gather together.
"A'Diao, are you confident in capturing that Black Fish directly?" Scarface whispered to A'Diao.
"Mm! Yes!" A'Diao nodded vigorously.
Now that Black Fish had taken the blame, he had successfully cleared himself of suspicion for killing A'Lao.
Now, as long as he killed Black Fish, then there would be no evidence left.
"Good! Then find an opportunity and you can act at any time! But when you act, you must first pay attention to your own safety," Scarface instructed.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine!" A'Diao looked up at him and guaranteed with great certainty.
"Mm! Then whether everyone can leave alive depends on you," Scarface nodded.
"Mm!"
A'Diao gripped the bronze sword at his waist and began to wait for the opportunity.
