Chapter 1172 Elder Alpa
Kuike rode on a velvet pterosaur and brought Shao Yun to her doorstep.
She opened the wooden door with her key and said to Shao Yun with a smile, "Mr. Shao Yun, please come in. Our home is rather simple, so please don't be disgusted. I'll make you a simple lunch and we can talk while we eat."
Shao Yun followed him into the house. How could he describe the residence of the Huayu Society?
After all, a tent or something like that, as long as it can be lived in...
After a while, Kuike brought out two plates of steaming tacos from the kitchen.
The golden flatbread is filled with chopped grilled meat and fresh vegetables, and the aroma spreads instantly.
"We usually eat this at home. It's simple and convenient. You can try it and see if it suits your taste." Kuike pushed the plate in front of Shao Yun.
Shao Yun picked up a taco and took a bite.
The fresh aroma of barbecue and the freshness of vegetables blend in your mouth, with a hint of spiciness, and the taste is very delicious.
While chewing, he looked at Kuike across from him and said with a smile, "It tastes very good! By the way, Chaska is still the same, always doing everything in a hurry, he hasn't changed at all."
Kuike, who was sitting opposite Shao Yun, picked up the taco but didn't eat much. He just rested his chin on his hand, with a decadent look on his face, and nodded slightly.
"That's right... Actually, I completely understand how Chaska feels right now. Keya is her Velvet Pterosaur family, so it's only natural that she's anxious."
"But she went to see Elder Alpa and asked the flight team to help find Keya. I didn't hold out any hope at all."
Shao Yun was still chewing his food. He looked at Kuike, who looked worried, and asked in confusion, "Why?"
Kuike sighed softly, and while Chaska was away, she expressed the simple logic hidden in her heart.
"Mr. Shao Yun, you don't know us, the Flower Feather Society. The Velvet Pterosaurs, besides those who live with us day and night, have unique markings."
"All the pterosaurs in the wild look alike, with the same feathers and similar body shapes. It's impossible to tell which is the Keya."
She paused, then added, "Even if Chaska could convince the elders to send out the flight team, they'd just be anxious. There's no way to confirm which one Chaska is looking for."
"In the end, there's nothing I can do to help."
……
Just as Shao Yun and Kuike were discussing the problem of finding the dragon in the house, a somewhat fierce quarrel suddenly came from outside the house, interrupting their conversation.
"Elder Alpa! Please reconsider. Keya is my sister. I'm really worried!"
Outside the house, Chaska was standing in front of a woman with gray hair. She was Ms. Alpa, the tribal elder of the Huayu Society and also the leader of the flying team.
Alpa looked at Chaska, who was very emotional and almost crying, and sighed helplessly, trying to slow down his tone.
"Chaska, please calm down. It's not that I won't help you, but you have to understand that mobilizing an entire flight team to search for a wild pterosaur is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"That's not a wild velvet pterosaur!" When Chaska heard Alpa call Keya "a wild velvet pterosaur", he immediately retorted with red eyes.
"It's my sister, Keya, the velvet pterosaur who has lived with me for several years!"
Alpa was stunned for a moment, then nodded, immediately changed his words, and patiently persuaded:
"Okay, it's your sister, Keya. Chaska, I understand your unique situation and how important Keya is to you."
"But you also have to understand that the Velvet Pterosaurs live almost all over Nata, and their traces may be found everywhere. And the flight team has fixed patrol missions every day!"
She paused, looking at Chaska's still tense expression, and continued, "You are familiar with Keya's appearance and habits. You can recognize her at a glance."
"But for the other members of the flight team, apart from their companion dragon, they see all the other velvet pterosaurs as the same. They can't tell which one is Keya."
"Not only will I be unable to help you, but it will also be a waste of everyone's time and energy... You should also think about the entire flight team and everyone in the tribe..."
Chaska knew that Alpa was telling the truth, but she couldn't give up when she thought that Keya might be in danger.
She took a deep breath and said stubbornly to Alpa, "Since I can't mobilize the entire flight team, can I try to convince everyone in the team one by one?"
"I'll explain Keya's characteristics to them. Anyone willing to help can join me in the search. I won't force anyone who doesn't want to. This way, it won't affect the tribe's patrol mission, right?"
Alpa watched Chaska turn around and run towards the flight team base. Her stubbornness made her really worried.
It would be bad if this kid really went to persuade everyone one by one and put everyone in a difficult position.
She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to hold Chaska's arm, and advised earnestly:
"No, calm down! Even if you go find the flight team, they might not be able to help, and it might even delay the important matter. Can't we think of other solutions?"
Chaska became even more anxious when Alpa pulled him like this. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw Shao Yun open the door next to him and walk out of the house.
"Excuse me..."
Alpa looked back and saw that it was Shao Yun, and his heart trembled suddenly.
Although she had never met Shao Yun in person, the deeds of this "great hero who helped Nata" had long been spread throughout the tribe, especially the fact that he saved Chaska and Kuike, which was mentioned repeatedly by everyone.
She quickly let go of Chaska's hand and respectfully took off her hat to Shao Yun.
"You are? Oh, I remember now, you are Mr. Shao Yun, right? What a pleasure to meet you! I have heard of your heroic deeds for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here in person today."
She paused, then bowed deeply to Shao Yun and said sincerely, "I heard that you saved Chaska and Kuike before. We Huayu will always remember this kindness in our hearts. I pay you the highest respect!"
Shao Yun looked at Alpa who was so polite, waved his hand quickly and nodded indifferently.
"It's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."
Alpa thought about it and felt that there was an opportunity right now. Maybe Shao Yun could persuade the stubborn Chaska.
So she looked at Shao Yun and pleaded, "Mr. Shao Yun, since you are here, can you help me persuade Chaska?"
"You should understand our difficulties. The flight team is responsible for patrolling the tribal border. If we spend a lot of manpower and resources just to find a Velvet Pterosaur..."
"What if we find out that Chaska's sister, Keya, has simply moved to another area? Wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
As she spoke, she glanced helplessly at Chaska beside her, hoping that Shao Yun could help her convince the child.
But at this moment, before Alpa could finish his words, Chaska's eyes suddenly fixed, he slapped his head hard, and said calmly: "Yes!
Shao Yun looked at Chaska, who suddenly realized something, and asked in confusion, "What did you get right?"
Chaska did not answer directly, but just looked at Shao Yun for help.
"Mr. Shao Yun, please... help me speak to Elder Alpa for mercy."
Shao Yun and Alpa heard Chaska's jaw-dropping idea and said in unison, "What?"
The next second, Alpa shook his head, feeling both amused and helpless.
"Chaska, please stop messing around. Didn't you listen to anything I just said?"
"If the flight team members can't recognize Keya, how will they find her even if they go? Do we have to just wander around the mountains and plains?"
Shao Yun also nodded, somewhat agreeing with Alpa's point of view, and added: "I think Ms. Alpa is right."
"Except for you, your sister, Keya, who has been with the velvet pterosaur day and night and can recognize it at a glance, everyone else is basically 'face-blind' when it comes to velvet pterosaurs."
I thought Chaska would realize the problem, but unexpectedly she frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said whimsically:
"If all else fails, why not just ask everyone in the flight team to call my sister 'Keya' by her name?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.
The embodiment of being too concerned and causing chaos...
Shao Yun opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and complained, "You are really amazing. You can find dragons by roaring...
……
Finally, due to time constraints, Chaska had to give up the plan to visit the members of the flight team one by one, and instead took Shao Yun to investigate the place where his velvet pterosaur sister "Keya" disappeared.
Maybe Shao Yun can sort out the disorganized clues and find the key?
As for Kuike, she also chose to help look in other places to see if Keya had really migrated.
Although she herself thinks the probability is low...
The place where Chaska's velvet pterosaur sister "Keya" lives is in the stone wall area between Ochikanata and Huayu Society.
To be precise, Keya lives quite close to her mother, Qimupu, of course, this is by the standards of a velvet pterosaur.
"We're here. This is Keya's nesting place." Chaska pointed to the dragon's nest not far away.
Shao Yun looked in the direction Chaska pointed, and saw a huge dragon's nest built with hay and branches in the center of the platform. There were still a few feathers left in the nest, but other than that, there were no other obvious traces.
He walked forward and took a closer look. The dragon's nest was intact, and the surrounding ground did not even have any scratches from fighting or footprints from struggling. Such a clean scene made him not know where to start his investigation.
"Can you tell me the specific details you have? For example, whether there was anything unusual before Keya disappeared, or what happened when your mother found out she was missing."
Shao Yun turned around and asked Chaska beside him.
Chaska walked to the dragon's nest, closed his eyes, and recalled the clues his mother had given him. He slowly spoke:
"I asked Mom Qimupu about this a while ago, and she said that Keya had been foraging around here every day for a while, and she often brought Mom a lot of fresh fish."
"Then just a few days ago, Mom went to look for Keya as usual, wanting to see her newborn dragon. But when she got here, she found that Keya was gone, and her dragon had disappeared with her."
"My mother searched for them for a long time but couldn't see any trace of them or hear any calls. She had no choice but to come to Huayu Club and tell me."
After saying this, Chaska raised his hand to cover his forehead, and his expression became a little ugly.
"I really had no other choice, so I started asking for help."
"I couldn't find Kinich, and I couldn't mobilize the flight team with Elder Alpa. Finally, I disturbed your honeymoon... And still, there's no useful clue at all. Sigh..."
