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

The woman is gone.

He came suddenly and left suddenly, and the people in Yanyuan tribe were a little confused.

They took nothing with them except the linen.

Maybe they look down on the Yanyuan tribe's mere trifles.

(Ster added with tears in his eyes: No! They also took away the basket of dried meat, which they filled with their stomachs!)

"Uncle Arthur." Nishi Ichisu turned his head and looked at Arthur who was lost in thought beside him.

"What did she say?"

When Yamaye left, Arthur caught up with her and asked again about the purpose of their trip.

"She--" Arthur paused, obviously weighing his words: "She said she had told me a long time ago."

Unspoken was what Yamaye said: You know I wouldn't lie to you, I shouldn't have reminded you of this.

Thinking of this, his ears turned suspiciously red.

"Just this one sentence?" Xi Yiqi was confused.

"Yeah." Arthur nodded calmly.

"She didn't say anything today except mocking us..." Nishi Ichiki couldn't help but mutter, frowning slightly and thinking for a moment.

How strange!

He brought more than 20 people here for a tour and then left. What was his purpose?

Forget it, let’s wait until the clan leader and the others come back.

Nishi Ichiqi picked up the salt grains on the ground with a look of pain on his face. It was a long journey and his legs were almost broken to carry them back!

Yamaye did not lead his men to destroy the things of the Yanyuan tribe. Except for the cave where food was stored which was turned upside down, the rest of the place was kept as it was.

The group quickly packed up.

*

Chen Qi's face was gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Siduo was busy frying meat and vegetables on a clay stove, and the aroma filled the air.

At this moment, Nia was lying on the straw mat in pain, with her back covered with crisscrossing whip marks, which were left by Chen Qi's ruthless beating with vines.

Wu Yu sat aside, applying the medicine to Nia with a calm expression.

Zeyi hugged the sobbing Nimei tightly.

Wu Lu looked into the deep forest, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

Lu Ye pounded his leg in annoyance, and the little girl beside him saw this and quickly grabbed his hand tightly.

Youxi was washing wild vegetables silently.

Ster was cutting slices of meat with a stone knife borrowed from him, muttering something to himself.

Yanya held on tightly to her fur skirt.

……

Xi Yi was... uh, staring at himself.

Nishi Ichisu looked away at this point.

The atmosphere was heavy and depressing.

When it was dark, the gathering team, hunting team and Wu Yu finally came back.

Nia angrily opened her mouth and just said a few words when she was interrupted by Shen Qi coldly: "Arthur, you say it."

After Arthur finished his general talk.

The tribe fell into the current silent and depressing atmosphere.

No one spoke to break the solemnity, even Nishi Ichiki remained silent.

After a moment, Chen Qi's voice sounded, hoarse and forbearing: "What did she say today? Tell me again in detail."

Arthur repeated Yamaha's words verbatim.

Nishi Ichiki also listened carefully, but was still confused.

The only strange thing is this sentence: Chief Shanyan mentioned that the Yanyuan tribe had not sent anything over for a long time.

However, Yamaye also made it clear that the Shanyan tribe is not short of this thing.

Nishi Ichisu had no doubt about the truth of this statement.

The men and women who came today were all strong, with rosy lips and shiny faces. It was obvious that they had enough food and drink on a daily basis.

Another thing is that they took nothing with them except the sackcloth…

Obviously, they were not here for the sackcloth.

"Oh! Don't believe that woman. How could she be so kind? Maybe she is here to find..." Nia, who had just been beaten, had a weak voice, but still revealed anger and impulse.

Nishi Ichiki secretly uttered a "tsk".

If I were him, I would not choose to say anything at this time.

Sure enough, after Chen Qi gave Nia a cold look, she became obedient.

Shen Qi naturally understood what Nia wanted to say—probably the mute boy who came to look for him.

The mute boy next to him sat quietly.

In the past few days, Shen Qi was very satisfied with him. This kid was a good hunter and had his own set of rules, which allowed the tribe to have extra meat for smoking and storage.

Chen Qi was not without his guard. He had asked the elders in the tribe to carefully identify the tattoos on the boy's body, but the answers he got were that they looked familiar, but they couldn't remember what they were.

He himself had the same feeling—it looked familiar, but he couldn't place it right away.

The Yanyuan tribe has a very small population, and there are more men than women. In recent winters, there have been very few cubs born in the tribe.

The tribe loses population every year due to various reasons, but there are not enough new births to maintain balance.

If this continues, the entire clan might be wiped out!

Although they have tried their best to protect the woman who can give birth to hope and the cubs who represent the future.

There is nothing we can do about this matter.

Chen Qi knew in his heart that he would most likely not be able to witness the Yanyuan tribe rise again in this lifetime, and he only hoped that they would not fall into his hands.

Thinking of his father's last words before his death, he showed some vulnerability for the first time.

Therefore, he would try his best to retain more people for the tribe, naturally including this young man who could hunt.

And what Nia said was not true - if Yamaye was really looking for someone, he would not choose a time when they were not around.

Therefore, the Mountain Rock Tribe must have other purposes...

What exactly is the purpose she mentioned?

"Wu, be gentler." Nia felt the wound on her back becoming more and more painful, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Unfortunately, everyone was in a very heavy mood at the moment, and it was so quiet around that even a bone needle falling on the ground could be heard. Even if he lowered his voice, everyone still heard it.

"Ouch, ouch, I was wrong, be gentler!" Before Chen Qi's cold eyes reached him, the pain in his back had already doubled.

"It hurts a little, so you'll remember it." Wu Yu said lightly. There was no joy or anger in her tone, but it made Nia feel a chill.

Wu Yu was not with the tribe today. He needed to go out to collect some herbs - those herbs grew on the outskirts of the territory, which was very dangerous. So he did not bring Xi Yiqi with him, but went with the hunting team and did not come back until the evening.

I didn't expect something like this to happen. Fortunately, Arthur and Xi Xi were there, and fortunately it was Yamaye who came. Otherwise, Nia would definitely leak the news about the Wasa tribe.

Thinking of this, Wu Yu increased the strength of applying the medicine.

Nia knew that she had done something wrong today, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"Hmph." Shen Qi snorted upon seeing this.

Nimei cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, but she still looked up at her brother, feeling both distressed and angry.

My brother is a brave warrior, sometimes a little clever, and very good to me, but he is always careless in doing things. This time he should learn a lesson!

Nimei hardened her heart and turned her head away, while Ze Yi gently patted her back, trying to comfort her.

"Everyone, please eat first. I will set off tomorrow to meet with Chief Shanyan." Chen Qi once again broke the silence.

This was the most tasteless meal Xi Yiqi had ever eaten since his time traveling through time. The only sound he could hear throughout the meal was the sound of chewing. There were no ups and downs in the hunting team's stories, no loud exclamations, and no children's bell-like laughter. Only a depressing silence remained.

Because he had no appetite, Nishi Ichiki just ate a few bites and then stopped eating.

She turned her head to look through the flickering firelight, her eyes fell on Chen Qi, and she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

Chen Qi held the stone knife tightly in his hand.

It is a weapon and also a symbol of the history and glory of the Yanyuan tribe.

The situation of the Yanyuan tribe is extremely difficult. It is really hard to accept that they have fallen from a once glorious large tribe to the point where they are almost dependent on others for survival.

Although we no longer have any interest in the Shanyan Tribe, they still have the final say in their territory.

The population of the Yanyuan tribe is too small and they are simply unable to resist anything.

Unless we migrate again, but... now is not a good time to migrate.

Although the children have grown into warriors, more than ten years have passed and those tribesmen who were in their prime back then have gradually entered old age.

It was they who led the young tribesmen step by step through untold hardships to get here.

The Yanyuan tribe will never abandon these old people, children, and Nimei, who is about to become a mother - she is pregnant with a new life.

After the tribesmen had almost finished eating, Chen Qi did not mention the tribe's plight, but simply said: "Everyone go to bed early."

As if nothing happened.

But how come nothing happened?

"Ugh."

Nishi Ichiki looked at Yanye who was leaning against him and was unusually quiet, and sighed for the last time of the day.

In the darkness, another conversation was going on:

"Are you back soon?" A hoarse voice came from the darkness, as if it had been rubbed by rough sandpaper, and each word was accompanied by a difficult gasp.

"Yes." Yamaye replied in a low voice.

"What about the things I told you?"

"them……"

"Well, back off."

……

After a while,

That unique voice sounded again: "Is that what she said?"

"Yes, there is nothing in that small tribe. You just wait and don't worry." The man chewed the dried meat in his mouth and said nonchalantly.
