The next day, as the morning light first shone, Zhang Jin arrived at the Han Che residence as usual.
However, her mood was very different from yesterday, filled with questions and unease. Han Che sat on the edge of the bed, looking quite recovered, but his eyes seemed to conceal a deep secret.
Zhang Jin sat lightly beside him, the herbs in her hand emitting a faint fragrance. Instead of speaking immediately, she carefully bandaged his wounds. Han Che felt her unusual behavior, turned his head, and met her gaze.
Zhang Jin felt a hint of unease. After confirming that there was no one around, she asked softly, " Han Che, you... you knew all along, didn't you? You knew that the sacrifice bride was Yun Yan, and she intended to replace me as the sacrifice, right?"
Her voice was low and trembling.
The eyes of Han Che flickered slightly, as if hesitating on how to respond. With a fleeting glance, he knew that this question would come sooner or later.
He nodded with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Yes, I know. But I never intended to deceive you. I... I don't know how to face you."
Zhang Jin's voice carried a hint of reproach, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Han Che wryly smiled, "How do you want me to say it? As the Young tribal leader of the barbarian tribe, I am also helpless..."
Zhang Jin spoke with a determined look, "Don't worry, Han Che, I don't blame you."
She sighed and said, "Now, the tribe has decided to make Yun Yan the bride sacrifice."
Han Che was shocked, "What? Yun Yan... she still can't escape this fate."
Zhang Jin's eyes flashed with a hint of complex emotions: "So, is compromise the only option? Is this kind of tradition, this kind of sacrifice, really worth it?"
The eyes of Han Che became deep: "Zhang Jin, in our tribal world, this is a kind of honor. But I also know that for you, all of this is too absurd."
Zhang Jin took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions: "Yes... I won't let Yun Yan face this alone. I will find a way to end this sacrifice."
Han Che gazed at Zhang Jin with deep respect in her eyes: "Zhang Jin, your inner strength and wisdom are admirable. Perhaps, you really can change all of this."
Zhang Jin nodded firmly, her determination set: "No matter what, I won't give up. I will protect Yun Yan, and I will also protect this tribe, but definitely not in this way."
Han Che smiled slightly, a recognition of her conviction: "I believe in you, Zhang Jin."
He suddenly recalled the encounter with the black bear. The ferocious bear chose to leave after smelling the scent on Zhang Jin.
"By the way, Zhang Jin, I've always wanted to ask you, do you remember the black bear attack? Why did it leave after smelling your scent?" asked Han Che.
Zhang Jin smiled slightly and said, "You mentioned that there were bears nearby, so before setting off, I went to find some pine trees and extracted this from its needles and branches."
As she spoke, she took out a small wooden box from her bosom, inside of which was a small piece of yellowish paste.
Han Che Curiously asked, "What is this?"
"This is pine resin ointment, extracted from pine trees. I remember bears don't like this smell. At the time, I wasn't completely sure if it would be effective, but now it seems to be working." Zhang Jin explained.
Han Che flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes, which quickly turned into admiration: "I see, your intelligence and wit exceed my imagination."
He continued, "Can this method of production be shared with the people of the tribe? This way, everyone can avoid the attacks of the black bear."
Zhang Jin nodded, her eyes shining with determination: "Of course. If this knowledge can help the tribe avoid unnecessary harm, I am willing to share it."
She began to explain in detail the steps to make pine resin ointment, starting from choosing the right pine resin to how to mix it with other ingredients, not missing any details. Han Che listened attentively, occasionally nodding to indicate understanding.
"This process requires a certain skill and experience," Zhang Jin said. "Especially when mixing and stretching the ointment, one must be patient and control the strength and temperature."
" Han Che " responded earnestly, "I will pass on this method to the pharmacists in the tribe for them to learn and produce. This will not only protect us from the threat of bears, but may also be used for other purposes."
Zhang Jin A slight smile, feeling a hint of comfort. This is not only passing on a skill to the tribe, but also implanting a seed of knowledge in this society based on tradition and faith.
"And," she continued, "the key is to use high-quality pine resin. We need to purchase it from a reputable Chinese medicine store, so that the pine resin ointment made from it will present a top-grade white color."
Han Che nodded in understanding: "I will arrange for someone to purchase the best pine resin. Zhang Jin, you have not only taught us a valuable skill, but more importantly, you have shown us that there are possibilities beyond tradition."
Han Che's words were filled with respect for Zhang Jin, his gaze firm and deep, as if in this simple conversation, he saw a new possibility.
"I will pass on this knowledge to the children of the tribe, so that they can understand and avoid bear attacks from a young age," Han Che said, with a barely noticeable hint of excitement in his voice.
Zhang Jin nodded slightly, feeling a warm surge in her heart as well. In this world far from her original life, she could bring about some change, which made her feel incredibly fulfilled.
Han Che After a moment of silence, the tone turned serious: "Zhang Jin, since you are determined to change all this, I will support you. But we must proceed with caution, as this concerns the beliefs and traditions of the entire tribe, and cannot be changed overnight."
Zhang Jin nodded in understanding, knowing that this would be a difficult path, but she was prepared for it.
"I know it won't be easy, but I can't stand by and do nothing. We need to find a way to protect Yun Yan without betraying the tribe's beliefs," she said firmly.
Han Che I looked deeply into her eyes, filled with complex emotions: "Zhang Jin, your courage is admirable. I will walk with you."
As the night deepened, the two of them began discussing possible plans, and every step that followed had to be carefully and meticulously planned.
