813: Chapter 804: Peace and Happiness 813: Chapter 804: Peace and Happiness Jansen hadn’t left with Gao Yang, and there were still over ten people hiding.
As there was no way to send them away, those who were first rescued during the attack on the outpost were also sent to the mining camp for the time being.
On the return journey, Gao Yang contacted Martin.
Martin’s film crew had already arrived near the Akuri tribe but had not yet made contact with the people of the Akuri tribe.
Gao Yang had specifically instructed them to move the equipment over but not to film any scenes of the Akuri tribe without his permission, until his return.
When they got close to the Akuri tribe, the vegetation became so dense that driving was slower than walking, so Gao Yang simply got out of the car to walk with the Chieftain and the others.
Although not on the familiar grasslands, the joy in Gao Yang’s heart was beyond words when he once again ran alongside the Chieftain and his men after more than two years.
With only ten or twenty kilometers left, Gao Yang and the others ran back in one go, and when they saw the thatched huts of the tribe, the Chieftain was the first to shout out.
Hearing the Chieftain’s shouts, everyone from the tribe came out to greet them, and when they saw that all five Akuri tribe members who had gone to war had returned, they were surrounded with excited cheers.
When setting out to battle, they danced, and of course, dancing was also in order upon a victorious return.
Though they used guns instead of bows and arrows, the rituals were similar.
The women came forward to take the rifles from the men, vividly expressing their joy at the reunion, before the real celebration began.
Bonfires were lit, and those who returned from war donned grass skirts only worn during celebrations, paying homage through song and dance to the departed souls that their revenge had been exacted, and thus began the celebration of victory.
They washed away the revenge markings from their faces and painted new ones to express joy.
Without music or outsiders present, Gao Yang as a member of the Akuri tribe, participated in all the ceremonies.
When the ceremony ended, it was time to eat and drink.
The people listened intently as the Chieftain and the others described the dangers and crises they had encountered, drawing gasps of amazement from time to time.
Gao Yang sat beside the fire, watching Balix and his wife share quiet words, playfully teasing their children, and seeing Kusto, who had lost his youthful naivety, being affectionate with his woman.
After taking a big bite of the roast meat that hardly had any taste and certainly wasn’t delicious, Gao Yang felt nothing but peace and joy.
The feeling of home was wonderful.
Although he wasn’t with his own parents, Gao Yang indeed felt at home with the Akuri tribe, yet he couldn’t help but wish his parents were there too.
For Gao Yang, it was his and also his parents’ wish to have them meet the Akuri tribe that had saved him and given him a second chance at life.
The exuberant Chieftain caught sight of Gao Yang and waved him over, saying, “Come here, White Child, come here!”
Standing up from the ground, Gao Yang went to the Chieftain’s side.
The Chieftain patted Gao Yang on his shoulder with a delighted expression and said, “White Child, I just heard you have a woman now?
Any children yet?”
Gao Yang shook his head with a smile and said, “No, not yet.”
Looking at Gao Yang, Kusto shouted, “White Child, you better hurry up, my child is about to be born.”
Unable to explain, Gao Yang could only nod with a smile and said, “Soon, soon.”
The Chieftain looked at Gao Yang with great satisfaction and smiled, “When you first came to the tribe, you couldn’t do anything.
I said you were too dull and couldn’t learn anything, but Kalisar said despite your strange looks, you were smart.
As long as I took you hunting, you would surely learn everything.”
Pride on her face, Kalisar affectionately wrapped her arm around Gao Yang and boasted loudly, “I knew the White Child would do well.
He’s really smart.
Now he knows everything you do and even what you don’t.
He’s the most amazing person in our tribe.”
The Chieftain slapped his rifle and said, “The White Child is extremely good with this.
He’s the most powerful warrior in the world, but he’s still not the best hunter because he still can’t run.”
Gao Yang’s endurance and long-distance running could already impress the entire Earth, but in the eyes of the Chieftain, it was still not enough.
There was no helping it—the old saying went, “Comparisons can lead to dismay.” Compared to the Chieftain and his people in long-distance running, he still had a long way to go.
It was then that Balix suddenly said, “The White Child doesn’t need to run.”
The Chieftain laughed heartily and said, “That’s right, he doesn’t need to run, with guns, there’s simply no need to run, that’s why the White Child is the most formidable, right?”
After expressing his joy, the Chieftain addressed Gao Yang, “White Child, didn’t your woman also come here?
Kalisar said they aren’t far from here, why don’t you call them over?”
Gao Yang was in a bind.
He wanted to tell the Chieftain he only had one girlfriend, but unfortunately, the concept of a girlfriend didn’t exist in the Akuri tribe.
He wanted to say his woman wasn’t actually here, but explaining the relationship between Catherine and Adele to the Chieftain would take some effort.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the Chieftain, almost like a parent hoping their child would marry soon, Gao Yang thought it over and decided it was simpler to invite Catherine and Adele over than to explain their relationship to the Chieftain and Kalisar.
Contacting Catherine was easy; she was just two or three kilometers away from the Akuri tribe.
A quick call on the walkie-talkie, and she would arrive soon.
However, he couldn’t just call one; if Catherine came, Adele would have to follow.
In the Chieftain’s eyes, both Catherine and Adele were Gao Yang’s women.
Not letting him meet them would be like bringing his wife home but not letting her meet his parents.
Helplessly, Gao Yang called Catherine and Adele on the walkie-talkie and asked them to come over and celebrate together.
Though they weren’t far, it was still several kilometers away, and traversing the forest posed the risk of encountering poisonous snakes or fierce beasts.
So despite the short distance, Gao Yang decided to go and meet them.
When Gao Yang finally reached Martin’s film crew’s camp, not only were Catherine and Adele waiting, but Martin was also eagerly anticipating his arrival.
Upon seeing Gao Yang, Catherine became slightly flustered.
She ran up to Gao Yang and gave him a firm hug, but quickly let go, looking relieved as she said, “You’re finally back.”
Gao Yang felt an indescribable sensation in his heart, not knowing quite what to think, while Adele whistled after eyeing Gao Yang in his grass skirt and said, “You look really handsome without clothes.”
After saying that, Adele cheerfully hugged Gao Yang and whispered in his ear, “I was really worried about you, and I missed you a lot.
Now you’re back, I can finally sleep well.”
Martin looked on enviously as Gao Yang interacted with them, and Catherine, after waiting impatiently for Adele to let go, eventually burst out, “Adele, think about what I’ve told you.”
Adele stuck out her tongue, reluctantly releasing Gao Yang.
Only then did Martin step forward, extending a hand to Gao Yang with a smile, “Buddy, welcome back.”
Gao Yang smiled and said, “Thanks, I owe you an apology, for I’ve poached two people from you.
Bantuna won’t be coming back for a while; he has some errands to run for me.
Jansen can return by tomorrow, but after this shoot ends, he’ll be leaving with me.”
Martin shrugged and replied, “I know, Bantuna already talked to me.
After we leave, he will go back to look for his group.
As for Jansen, he’s a good lad.
I’m glad he’s found a stable and well-paid job.”
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, “We can shoot the Akuri tribe tomorrow.
Are you guys ready?”
Martin was exactly waiting for that.
Excitedly, he said, “We’re ready, everything’s set, there’s no issue with starting to film tomorrow.
I’ve arranged all the details you mentioned, ensuring no one will get too close to your tribespeople.”
Gao Yang nodded and said, “That’s good.
Then I’ll be leaving with Catherine and the others.
I’m very sorry, but today I just want to spend some quiet time with the tribespeople, so I won’t be able to let you film.
However, I promise you can shoot any scene you want tomorrow, and I will cooperate.”
Martin laughed loudly and said, “We’ve got a deal, buddy.
I hope we have a good start tomorrow.
Thanks, buddy.
Alright, I won’t keep you from your reunion any longer.
I completely understand how you feel, go on, be quick.”
After finishing, Martin leaned in close to Gao Yang’s ear and whispered, “Buddy, you’re amazing.
How did you manage two such beautiful women at the same time?
They both look like they can’t wait to have your children right now.
I’m so jealous.
As a man, I sincerely admire you.
But don’t let them down; they’re both good girls, haha.”
After a chuckle and a pat on Gao Yang’s shoulder, Martin waved and headed back to the camp.
Gao Yang, smiling helplessly, turned to Catherine and said, “Well, let’s go.”
As Gao Yang’s “women,” Catherine and Adele were warmly welcomed and were not treated as strangers by the Akuri tribe.
The Primitive Tribe had no concept of privacy.
The Chieftain and Kalisar asked Catherine and Adele many questions, most of which Gao Yang would never translate.
Fortunately, the language barrier saved them from many awkward situations and allowed Gao Yang to easily blunder through explanations on both sides.
Talking about their experiences after the time apart, recounting their individual journeys, and finally reuniting with the people of the Akuri tribe, Gao Yang hadn’t felt this at peace in a long time.
