I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

Fortunately, a large amount of salt was replaced, so the trip was not in vain.

This time they came to the Washa tribe much earlier than agreed. In order to exchange for more salt, Wu Yu picked a lot of herbs three days before departure and brought them here, and carefully taught them to their witch - Waya.

Waya was a simple-minded child, and he reported the matter to Vanik truthfully.

So, getting the salt didn't take much effort.

Vanik is generous.

Wu Yu thought of this, rubbed the skin of the green fruit with his thumb, and changed the subject: "Vanik, your child is very strong."

That’s right, in primitive tribes, the best compliment is to praise someone for being strong.

When Vanik heard this, the smile on his face became more genuine.

Turning to look at the woman sitting by the campfire holding the twins, her skin was a healthy wheat color, her figure was plump, her features were soft, and there was a gentle smile between her eyebrows. At this moment, she was lowering her head to tease the babies in her arms, with gentle and skilled movements.

Vanik's eyes fell on her, with a hint of pride and tenderness in them.

This is his partner, Serena, the woman who gave birth to twins for the tribe.

Twins are very rare. In recent years, the population of the Wasa tribe has gradually declined. Although children are born,...

Thinking of this, Vanik frowned. Most of those children were not very healthy and were difficult to feed, and they died soon.

He once suspected that this was a punishment from Mother Nature.

But they did nothing wrong.

Why would Mother Nature do this to them?

Vanik looked at the two children and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that they could grow up safely.

He turned his head again and whispered to Wu Yu: "Thank you for the herbs and help."

Wu Yu also withdrew his gaze from the warm scene, smiled and shook his head, and said: "This is what I should do. You also gave us a lot of salt. By the way, Chief Wanik, I have a few requests..."

"Oh? What is it?"

"I think……"

……

As the bonfire gradually dimmed, the conversation between the two men came to an end.

"Thank you very much, Chief." Wu Yu stood up, put his hands on his chest and bent down slightly.

Vanik gently placed his hands on Wu Yu's arms and accepted the greeting.

After saying goodbye politely, Wu Yu left in the direction of the cave.

Vanik watched Wu Yu's departing back, wondering what he was thinking...

*

Inside the cave,

Wu Yu simply relayed the conversation between him and Vanik.

When he learned that he could only get ten pieces of linen, Nishi Ichisu showed a hint of disappointment on his face, but he did not complain or feel dissatisfied.

I just feel a little regretful for my recklessness in wasting precious linen to make a fish pond.

"This is already very good, I am still too idealistic..."

Nishi Ichisu put the potato that had been passed around many people into the backpack, and then asked about another thing that concerned him: "What about the potatoes? Did Vanik agree to give us a basket?"

Seeing Xixi's look, Wu Yu smiled and replied, "After I told Wanik the method of distinguishing potatoes, he promised to have his tribe bring back a basket for us tomorrow.

It’s just… although this thing is edible, it’s a long way to go, so it would be a bit troublesome for us to bring it back.”

Nia also agreed: "Yes, this thing is not light! We still have to carry three baskets of salt back, there is no need to bring these!"

He originally thought that Wu Xiqi just wanted to trade potatoes with the Washa tribe, but he didn't expect her to take a basket back with her.

A basket of potatoes can be eaten in one day. It would be really troublesome to carry a basket every time you come.

Therefore, Nia was a little confused, and he thought it was unnecessary.

Nishi Ichiki smiled mysteriously, with a cunning gleam in his eyes: "I'm taking it back, of course not to eat it!"

"Is it related to the planting you mentioned?" Wu Yu asked.

"Bingo! I'm going to take these potatoes back home to plant. They have a high yield." Nishi Ichi nodded heavily and added excitedly, "If everything goes well, we will have more potatoes than we can eat!"

Yan Luo and Arthur, who were packing the backpacks, stopped what they were doing when they heard this.

"Really?" Yan Luo asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Xi Yiqi shook his head confidently, his eyes full of pride, "You'll know when we get back to the tribe!"

Not only that……

Xi Yiqi was secretly thinking in his heart that after returning to the tribe, in addition to growing the potatoes, he would also try to see if he could make the simplest earthenware.

Life will definitely get better and better in the future.

“By the way, is that kid going back with us too?” Nia glanced at the corner and pursed her lips at the mute boy.

"Of course." Wu Yu answered without hesitation.

He certainly would not leave the boy to continue being bullied in the Wasa tribe.

When the boy heard several people mention him, he finally raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of numbness and fatigue.

He watched everyone silently, as if waiting for fate to decide.

Most of the time, the mute boy was extremely silent and did not make any sound or movement, so much so that everyone almost forgot his existence.

Nia was a little dissatisfied when she heard this: "It would be nice to stay in the Wasa tribe..."

After saying that, he frowned slightly and his eyes fell on the young man.

In the dim light of the fire, one could see a small tattoo from the boy's forehead to his eye. It was a special mark that only exiled people would have.

Each tribe has its own tattoo for exiles, and Nia couldn't tell which tribe this tattoo belonged to.

Maybe the elders in the tribe will know...

However, a tribe that could tattoo an exiled person would definitely not be an unknown small tribe.

Nia didn't want this young man of unknown origin to bring unnecessary trouble to the tribe, so letting him stay in the Wasa tribe might be the best option.

After all, there are no outsiders here, and the Wasa tribe is currently short of able-bodied men.

Wu Yu certainly noticed the change in Nia's expression, but he didn't say much.

Nishi Ichiki also noticed the tattoo on the boy's face. It was not very big, and it was like a severed snake winding around on the boy's cheek, easily covered by the boy's messy hair and mud all over his body.

Well……

From Nia's perspective, his idea was not wrong.

Although the boy was bullied by his peers in the Washa tribe, at least he could get food and a stable home, and he was more likely to grow into a brave warrior in the future.

Vanik doesn't look like a cruel and foolish patriarch.

On the contrary, as long as he works hard, the mute boy will definitely be respected and recognized by the people of the Wasa tribe, just like that woman...

The days ahead will be much better than those in the Yanyuan tribe where people had no idea where to start.

Vanik may not be unaware of the wanton bullying of teenagers.

The reason why he chose to turn a blind eye and not intervene was most likely the same as Chen Qi's at the beginning - a small fight was not a bad thing until someone died.

Unfortunately, Nishi Ichisu is a modern man and he understands deeply that these unwarranted bullying will only leave indelible scars in the heart of this young boy who is unable to express himself.

Don't end up with a pervert.

After arriving at the Yanyuan tribe, the situation might improve, after all, we have escaped from that environment full of insults and oppression.

And the children of the Yanyuan tribe might treat him well... right?

Maybe?

The vicious look of Kuroishi appeared in Nishi Ichisu's mind...

Somewhat unsure.

Forget it, just take care of yourself a little more.

As for the tattoo on the boy's face, there was nothing to worry about.

After two days of observation, it seems that the boy is not a bad person, otherwise he would have fought back long ago. He is not weak physically.

Even if his personality has long been distorted, there is still the clan leader Chen Qi!

What kind of world can be turned upside down?

This incident will not have much impact on her life, so we will help her if we can.

When I think of my best friend who left me forever due to mental illness in real life, I can't just sit there and do nothing.

Maybe, I could have listened to her pain a little longer; helped her out of the quagmire; skipped that lab class, found her... and hugged her tightly.

Maybe the result will be different?

He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes... and once again turned his gaze to the silent boy in the corner.

Looking at him, but not looking at him.
