I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

*Rustle rustle…* After several days of travel, Su Bai and his group passed through the forest and returned to the edge of the Tribe.

This time, it took one day longer than their previous trip because of the additional two hundred people, which slowed their pace.

Ye Jiu looked at the nearby Tribe and asked in confusion, “Is this the Flame Dragon Tribe? But it’s different from what they said.”

Su Bai, with his hands behind his back, asked, “Oh? What did you hear about the Flame Dragon Tribe?”

“They said the Flame Dragon Tribe got destroyed by the Black Snake Tribe and didn’t have many people left. But this is not like they said at all…” Ye Jiu could not understand.

The Tribe she saw before her, while not a large one, did not have people who looked worried or distressed.

“Because this Tribe still has a Shaman, naturally it won’t be too bad. It will only get better in the future,” Su Bai said word by word.

“There’s… there’s still a Shaman? Can you take me to see him? I want to… thank him in person,” Ye Jiu hesitated.

Yan Jiao walked in front of Su Bai, pointing at the two hundred plus people, and respectfully asked, “Shaman, how should we arrange them?”

“First, arrange for their accommodations. They’ll stay at the outer region for now. I’ll arrange their tasks later,” Su Bai instructed.

“Understood.” Yan Jiao nodded. He turned and had Da Gua and Wa Ming lead them to the outer region.

Ye Jiu’s grey pupils widened in surprise, “You-you’re the Shaman?”

Su Bai spread his hands and smiled, “What? Don’t I look like one?”

“No, no, it’s not that,” Ye Jiu recalled that during these days in the forest, Su Bai’s status was indeed exceptionally high. However, this reality was something she had not thought of.

“You all should go and rest first. I’ll arrange your tasks later.” Su Bai said.

“Yes, Shaman,” Ye Jiu nodded.

Su Bai was surprised, not expecting her to change her form of address so quickly. It was a bit unexpected.

“Shaman, Ah’Hua, you’re back!” Yu Ying waved and ran over from afar.

“Take the dried meat and store it. Put the materials for making Shaman Bone Tablets back in my Teepee,” Su Bai instructed Hei Ya and others.

“Yes, Shaman,” Hei Ya and Mai Mang immediately responded.

Yan Hua watched the fox eared girl’s chest bounce as she ran over, then looked down at her own, and could only helplessly shake her head.

When the fox eared girl reached them, Su Bai gave a nod, “Yeah, we’re back.”

“Shaman, why did you return a day later than expected? I thought, I thought something had happened to you,” Yu Ying looked exhausted, seeming like she had not been able to sleep at all last night.

“We were delayed by something on the way, but we’re safely back now, aren’t we?” Su Bai smiled. Seeing the fox eared girl’s pitiful state, he continued to state, “Let’s go into the Main Teepee. I’m a bit hungry.”

“Ah. Okay. I’ve prepared lots of dried meat. I’ll roast some for you right away,” Yu Ying began to smile, and she continued, “Shaman, I took good care of the sweet potatoes. They didn’t die.”

“Very good,” Su Bai praised.

“You haven’t been sleeping well these past few days have you?” Yan Hua noticed the dark circles under the fox eared girl’s eyes.

Yu Ying smiled and scratched her head, mumbling, “I just missed you so much. Not knowing how you all were worried my…”

Yan Hua narrowed her eyes teasingly, “Did you really miss me? Or someone else?”

“Erm, I-I. Come on! Let’s go back to the Teepee! The Shaman must be tired and needs rest!” Yu Ying urged.

*Thump thump thump…*

Su Bai and the others stepped into the Main Teepee, where the fire in the central pit was already burning brightly.

Su Bai saw that the Teepee was still neat and tidy, and smiled, “Have you been staying here these past few days?”

“Not the first few days. I was helping to strip Ramie stalks. The last two days, I stayed in the Teepee, sewing linen clothes for you while waiting for your return,” Yu Ying’s soft voice sounded.

“Oh? Is the linen clothing done?” Su Bai curiously asked.

“Yes, it’s done.” Yu Ying nodded vigorously, turning to rummage through the box.

Su Bai sat on the stone stool and stretched. He sighed in relief, thinking he could finally relax properly. Staying in the forest had inevitably caused him to be tense. It had certainly been tiring.

Yu Ying found a piece of linen clothing and said expectantly, “Shaman, look, I made it according to the size of your previous animal skin clothing. I don’t know if it fits.”

Su Bai took the linen clothing and examined it. The workmanship was not very good, but it was decent enough. He said, satisfied, “I’ll change into it after I bathe tonight.”

“En, I’ll go roast some meat for you and Ah’Hua,” Yu Ying sweetly smiled.

“Wait a moment, we brought back something good for you. Do you want to see it?” Yan Hua said with a hint of mystery in her tone.

Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes and nodded, “Sure. What did you bring back?”

“Guess. It’s something you’ll really like,” Yan Hua smiled.

“Hmm… could it be an Ocean Lily Fruit?” Yu Ying guessed.

Ocean Lily Fruit were known as an edible fruit with large leaves. When ripe, one would need to break open it to eat the flesh inside. When ripe, the outside would look dark red; when unripe, it would be green.

The first time Su Bai saw this fruit, he compared it to the Passion Fruit. It was very similar to the Passion Fruit from Earth, not just in appearance but also in its sweet and sour taste.

They had exchanged for quite a few Ocean Lily Fruit this time. He wanted to see if it was really the same as the Passion Fruit from Earth. If so, it would be very useful.

“That’s no fun. You’ve guessed it right away.” Yan Hua took out an Ocean Lily Fruit from her animal skin bag and handed it to the fox eared girl.

“You said it’s something I like, so it must be Ocean Lily Fruit,” Yu Ying said softly.

Before her Father and Mother passed away, the fox eared girl often went to the Spotted Deer Market to exchange for Ocean Lily Fruit to eat, so the taste was very nostalgic.
