Capítulo 25: Har tribe [2]
"Go get some water." Eren put down the bag he was carrying and silently picked up the jar.
"You've dug up a lot. As I always say, you have to sow as many seeds as you dig up."
The old man glanced at his pocket and said.
Eren nodded slightly as if he knew and left his hut.
Only then did the old man look at Eren's back.
It's already been over a year since he saved the guy who almost died.
By then, the child had been so weak that one wondered if he would survive.
However, not only did he regain his strength in just four months, but he also surpassed the skills of the best herbalist and hunter in the tribe.
What was unusual was that he did not show his emotions outwardly at all.
Of course, he didn't talk much, but only opened his mouth when it was really necessary.
And although it is difficult to express in words, he felt some mysterious energy about him.
Is that why? He never asked questions about his past. However, he felt that the time to let him go was approaching.
The old man opened the bag he had brought with him and began to spread the grass on the ceiling.
He was particularly fond of the tabernacle, also known as the black herb.
Tabernacles were crushed and used to disinfect wounds, or dried and boiled in water. It is good for energy recovery, blood circulation, and clears the mind.
However, if he boil it in a strong way, it slows down his senses, so it is sometimes used as a painkiller.
Eren chewed the dried vines and ate them, and the taste was so poisonous that even the people living in the desert were tongue-tied.
Meanwhile, after leaving the hut, Eren silently passed among the tribesmen holding the jar.
Around the oasis, quite a few tribesmen were doing their various tasks.
Tasks necessary for community life, such as washing clothes, milking livestock, and cooking, were shared.
They were all wearing fancy clothes and tattoos, which made the ordinary Eren stand out.
However, there was something strange about the way the tribesmen looked at Eren.
Although he showed signs of welcoming me, he soon showed some fear in his eyes and I was unable to approach him hastily.
Children did not show this behavior at all, but adults were the only ones who did this.
The reason was this.
A few months ago, hyenas invaded at night targeting livestock.
Although wolves and hyenas sometimes approached the area targeting livestock, there has never been as many hyenas as this time.
The two tribesmen who were standing guard that day were taken aback by the sudden attack of a pack of hyenas.
He had to ring the bell to wake up the tribesmen, but he couldn't. In a situation where every second was urgent, there was a figure who suddenly appeared between the herd of livestock and the hyenas.
Meanwhile, the sentry who came to his senses rang the bell and the tribesmen hurriedly gathered, but the hyenas were nowhere to be found and the figure in the dark they chased away had also disappeared.
But Eren definitely saw the two sentries.
The side view of the crazy Eren illuminated by torches placed sparsely.
After that, little by little, rumors about him began to spread through people's mouths. The devil's child has come back to life.
Of course, the old man, the chief, scolded the tribesmen and tried to stop them from joining, but it didn't take long for the rumor to reach Eren's ears.
The more it happened, the more the old man brought him into conflict with the tribesmen. He hoped to become friendly naturally.
But that was the old man's small greed.
Eren came in with a jar full of water, one in each hand, and put it down to one side and sat in front of the old man.
"You can stop boiling it now. I'm fine."
Eren speaks calmly without any hesitation. The old man was a little surprised.
It was the longest speech he had ever heard from him. Of course, it wasn't an honorific term.
The old man who was fanning himself in the furnace stopped and looked at him.
Then he let out a short sigh and slowly opened his mouth.
"When do you plan to leave?"
Eren's eyes wavered for a moment as he looked at the old man speaking indifferently.
He always felt it, but the old man always took the lead as if he could read his thoughts. It is too outstanding to be called age.
Maybe that's why he's been the chief for so long.
"Day after tomorrow."
"I see. The kids must be very upset, especially Gabert."
The old man looked outside the hut and said vaguely. He changed his mind and spoke.
Eren, whether he knew it or not, bowed his head deeply and answered.
"Grace must be…." "
"I didn't mean to get anything in return. However, it would be better if you told Gabert yourself. Still, wasn't he a lifesaver who found you?"
Eren nodded silently, stood up, bowed his head again, and tried to leave the hut.
At that time, the old man's words caught him again.
"Eren. I wonder if the reason was revenge."
Eren flinched at the old man's words and slowly turned around.
The old man's eyes, hidden behind the wrinkles around his eyes, contained more sincerity than ever before.
For the first time, Eren looked worried and hesitated as if he was going to say something, then left the hut.
