We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 40 Meika Laowu? Meika Laowu!
It's getting hotter and hotter, and it's a sticky, humid heat.

Fortunately, the tent kept out the insects and dirt.

This provided Xia Minghao, a modern person, with hygienic conditions that he could adapt to, allowing him to "enter his dreams lightly."

Nightly "enlightenment" before bed is also a regular occurrence. I close my eyes and ponder the details of shipbuilding, just as I am drifting off to sleep.

A little bit of bright firelight shone into the tent.

Xia Minghao opened his eyes groggily and saw a petite figure.

There was still a noticeable whitening on her chest, but the red spots were barely visible, unlike during the day.

Isn't that the girl from the U tribe? She seems to be the daughter of Usa, the matriarch of the U tribe.

The first thing Xia Minghao realized was the other person's identity, and only then did doubts arise in his mind.

What is she doing in her own tent?

Before I could even ask a question, I saw Una blush as she slipped in and whispered something.

"Mom told me, Meika, and you."

Meika, huh?

This was the first time Xia Minghao had ever heard this primitive word, and he looked at Una in bewilderment.

Only then did they notice that Una's body was trembling slightly, whether from nervousness or excitement.

When Xia Minghao felt the hot breath from Una's nostrils, he felt as if he had guessed the meaning of "Meika Laowu".

Then, Una's small hand, which reached out and lingered on his body, further confirmed his guess.

One thing must be admitted is that spending this time in this primitive era where there was nothing, and escaping the exhausting concrete jungle, was a valuable experience.

Xia Minghao's physical condition has indeed improved a lot, and there is even a hint that he is returning to his peak.

With his blood surging, Xia Minghao took a deep breath.

The strange smell emanating from Una, a mixture of the lingering odor of newly arrived furniture and the stench of a primitive man, brought him back to his senses.

Upon sensing the chief's refusal, Una visibly trembled, and her hand recoiled as if she had been electrocuted.

She knew exactly what that meant, and her face gradually grew more and more forlorn, as if she were about to cry.

Xia Minghao took another deep breath.

No, absolutely not.

The poor sanitation conditions were secondary; the most important thing was that he realized something far more significant.

Without protection, the chances of getting pregnant are extremely high.

If we have children, are we going to let them live in this barbaric, primitive society?
For primitive humans, mating was indeed all they needed to do; they relied on high birth rates to combat high death rates.

But Xia Minghao, as a modern person, has many more things to consider.

Responsibility, responsibility to one's own child.

Although he came to this primitive era, Xia Minghao has always been a modern person.

Which modern person could accept their child living this kind of quality of life?

Xia Minghao could not accept the fact that his child was born until he had created a civilization with a productivity level at least equivalent to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, or at least the Zhou Dynasty.

Although Una is indeed very... good-looking...

Although her face had been exposed to the elements, it was wrinkle-free, perhaps due to her youth.

Her calves were slender enough to be grasped in one hand, her thighs were round and full, and her skin was a radiant bronze color.

Moreover, it is clearly the kind of curvy figure that was popular in primitive times.

With a little effort, she could be just as good as some of today's online celebrities.

In fact, Shia, Shifa, and even Yezi are all considered to be "quite good-looking".

Xia Minghao had wondered several times why the primitive people of the Stone Age looked so much like modern humans, rather than more like newly molted apes.

Perhaps it's due to the influence of a mysterious force in this world, or perhaps it's some other special reason.

In short, Xia Minghao would certainly accept it if such a thing happened.

But it absolutely cannot be now.

While Xia Minghao was deep in thought, he heard a soft sobbing sound coming from Una.

I wanted to offer words of comfort, but I didn't know what to say.

hiss……

Or should we change the subject?
Remembering what Una had just said, it was her mother, Usa, who had made her do it.

After clearing his throat twice, Xia Minghao asked Wu Na.

"Your mom wants you to come over and, uh, chat with me, Meika?"

Sure enough, the inexplicable sadness in Una's heart was transferred to her thoughts. Looking at Xia Minghao with her large, watery eyes, she recalled her mother's words, nodded, and spoke aloud.

"My mother said that if I chatted with Chief Meka of the Xi tribe, I could live a good life every day."

Is Meika's motivation to live a good life?
Originally intended only to distract Una from her grief, Xia Minghao's answer made him start to think.

Actually, I felt something was strange when I first met Xia Minghao from the Wu tribe. His sexually seductive paintings, and the fact that Wu Sa offered him and his daughter as his own right away...

Indeed, it was normal for so-called ethics and morality to give way to survival in primitive societies, and ethics and morality may not have even existed in these primitive societies.

Xia Minghao could certainly understand this.

But there's still something I can't quite understand, something just doesn't feel right.

Only now did Xia Minghao truly realize why he felt something was wrong.

In primitive times, the act of creating humans was often only linked to reproduction and had not yet broken free from animalistic instincts.

Unlike modern society, where the purpose might be for amusement, or for gaining benefits, power, and so on.

In the mindset of the Wu tribe, a revolutionary change has emerged in the practice of creating humans.

The connection between sex and self-interest only began to emerge after the advent of civilization and gradually took shape during the slave society period.

It is estimated that the Wu tribe, facing an extremely rare shortage of males, accidentally discovered that this sexual allure could solve the problem of male scarcity.

Then this idea gradually deepened like a snowball, eventually taking shape.

Practice determines knowledge, and knowledge, in turn, influences practice.

Fundamentally, it is still the main contradiction movement of primitive society, plus the subjective initiative of the women of the Wu tribe, which led to the development of this "abnormal situation".

Having figured this out, Xia Minghao looked at Una and spoke again.

"You can have a good day without me nagging. How was your day?"

Upon hearing Xia Minghao's question, Una immediately began to recall.

Today I had a good meal of meat and all the novelties from the Xi tribe. Of course it's wonderful; I could never dream of such a good life in the Wu tribe.

Thinking of the wonderful day, Una seemed to forget the inexplicable sadness in her heart, and nodded to Xia Minghao with a smile.

“Your mother is wrong. As long as you do your job as I say, you will have a good day. You don’t need to go through all that trouble.”

"Change?"

"Exactly, you and I chat, and I'll give you a wonderful day. No need."

Just as I finished speaking in a low voice, I suddenly heard a snapping sound outside the tent, like a dry branch being broken by a foot.

Xia Minghao glanced outside the tent and saw that all the Xi tribe members were still awake, craning their necks to look in his direction...

Ah Zhe...

If I hadn't been able to control myself, it would probably have been broadcast live.

Of all the people in the crowd, only Shia was sulking.

Of course she knew what Una was going to do, and just now she couldn't help but want to get involved directly.

She brought him back because she wanted to mate with the current chief.

But then time had passed, and Xia was worried that the child would end up like her younger brother or sister, so she decided to wait until next year.

but now……

Looking at Una emerging from the cave, Shia grew angrier the more she thought about it.

His once unremarkable chest suddenly became turbulent and undulating due to his heavy breathing.

……

……

……

"The tree's water protects us from insects and keeps our bones and wood from decaying. How could it possibly prevent us from having sons!"

"The Xi tribe won't give us meat, just as we can't give meat to other tribes. We can't even get enough for ourselves."

"How could a tribe of women with only two hands and two feet possibly have so much meat!"

The debate was nearing its end, with only a few young women remaining on Usa's side as supporters.

Most of the young women who had believed it during the day now reapplied the tree sap to their bodies.

Most women were actually just amazed by the meat and pottery of the Xi tribe during the day, which is why they accepted it so quickly.

But upon returning to the tribe, they did not encounter the older women of the Xi tribe, or those like Usa, and naturally began to strongly object.

Thus began this struggle for "power," and in the end, Usa was completely defeated.

She is no longer the Great Mother of the Wu tribe!
