I'm involved in poverty alleviation in a primitive tribe.

Mao: "Wu Yun? Her baby has a good appetite! He's only been born a short time and he's already so chubby."

Jiang Ning lifted her feet out of the water and placed them on lotus leaves to dry before putting on her shoes: "Alright, go touch your stone snails, I'll go check on them."

Mao scratched his head, grinned, and ran away.

When they arrived at the cave in the dark clouds, the dark clouds had already fed the baby, and the child was lying quietly in her arms, fast asleep.

Jiang Ning cautiously approached and carefully examined the newborn life.

The child is very healthy with rosy skin. Clearly, the tribe's living conditions have improved, and the children are growing stronger.

She then went to see the other pregnant women one by one. Furong was about to give birth and was now only doing odd jobs in the square.

The deer was particularly vigorous, even with its belly swollen, it wielded a hoe with great force and was full of energy.

Standing on the edge of the field, Jiang Ning worried for her: "Wei Lu! Be careful! Didn't I tell you not to do heavy work?"

Wei Lu put down his hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Jiang Wu! You've come! The chief asked me to help the pheasant with the work, but all I can do is eat. I'm too clumsy to do anything. I'd rather work in the fields. I'm fine. There's nothing I can't do, so don't worry!"

Jiang Ning felt somewhat helpless; these people's physical conditions indeed could not be treated according to the previous standards.

She summoned the deer and used her magic to examine her; her mother was perfectly healthy.

He then used his magical power to examine the belly of the deer. Jiang Ning was used to doing this, but he hadn't checked it since returning from the hunt.

After so long, the baby was very lively inside the deer's belly. As soon as Jiang Ning's witch power touched it, she sensed something was wrong.

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, but she checked the items several times.

The deer was confused. Pregnant women are usually checked by shamans, but they don't check for this long.

She secretly observed Jiang Ning's expression but couldn't discern anything, so she could only wait silently.

Finally, Jiang Ning withdrew her hand.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Wei Lu tentatively asked, "Jiang Wu? Is there something wrong with the child?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. She can move now, so I'll take a closer look at her. She's very good-looking and strong. She'll definitely be a powerful warrior in the future, so don't worry."

Wei Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "Whether it becomes strong or not is a matter for the future. I just hope that my child can grow up safely."

"It definitely will." Jiang Ning reassured her a few more times before leaving.

……

The witch's cave.

The shaman was sunbathing outside the cave. Even without using his magical powers, anyone could tell that his body was rapidly deteriorating.

His body seemed to have lost its vitality, and his skin had become dry and dull.

Jiang Ning stood to the side, remaining silent for a long time.

The shaman, with his eyes closed, lay leisurely on the recliner: "Standing here for so long without saying a word, are you that bored? Does the tribe have nothing to do for you?"

Jiang Ning quickly concealed the sorrow on her face and said in a cheerful tone, "Witch, I just went to see the pregnant tribespeople and found out that the tail deer's child has witch talent and can become a witch's disciple in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wu opened his eyes and sat up. He looked at Jiang Ning, but did not expose him. He simply smiled and said, "You're quite lucky. You found Wu's disciples so early, and even found two at once. Unlike me, I've waited so many years to find just one."

"Two? There's only one in the tail deer's belly?" The matter of the shaman's disciple was of great importance, so Jiang Ning checked several times to confirm before coming to find the shaman.

The shaman shook his head: "Although you are a disciple of the shaman, you are not a shaman after all. You do not have the shaman's seal of the Sirius tribe, and you have not yet fully grasped the specific situation of your tribesmen. The child of the tail deer has grown up a bit, and you have only just discovered that she has shamanic talent. There is another child who has just started to move, so naturally you cannot discover it."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized and immediately asked, "Who is the other child?"

“It’s Tiger Girl and Black Stone’s child, and it’s a girl,” Wu Xinwei said.

Tiger Girl is considered one of the most fertile women in the tribe. She had a child in her first year, and now in her third year, she is pregnant again.

Jiang Ning: "I didn't notice it just now. I'll go check again in a bit."

The shaman disagreed, saying, "No, even if you know who has shamanic talent, you can't show it until their minds are settled. You have to treat them like ordinary people. Besides, they haven't even been born yet. If you go to see them again right after you just saw them, their parents will worry that there might be something wrong with their children."

He said, “The appearance of two tribespeople with shamanic talent in the tribe is a good thing, but it could also turn into a disaster. You must remember that no matter how many shaman disciples the tribe has, there can only be one shaman. You must balance the relationship between them. Otherwise, if things go wrong, the tribe could fall into disaster.”

Jiang Ning solemnly replied, "Yes!"

After some time, the little pterosaur and the brown-feathered eagle flapped their wings and flew into the sky. Mao sat contentedly on the back of the wedge-tailed pterosaur and drank several mouthfuls of cold wind. Furong also gave birth to a son smoothly. Jiang Ning finally sensed the witch talent emanating from Hu Niu's child.

"Jiang Wu! Clam Wu and Lotus Wu have something to say to you and Wu!" When Hongyue brought Lotus Wu and Clam Wu to Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning was by the river examining the tree bark and vine bark that she had soaked in the water. She had been researching papermaking recently but had not found suitable materials, so she was trying to see if she could use something else as a substitute.

After soaking the bark for ten days to half a month to remove impurities, it is boiled with wood ash and water, then pulped, made into paper, and dried. However, she tried several kinds of trees, but the results were not ideal.

Jiang Ning glanced at their expressions; it seemed something serious had happened. She threw the bark back into the water, washed her hands, and walked towards them: "Let's go then, to the witch's cave."

The four sat inside the cave, with Hongyue personally guarding the outside, forbidding anyone from approaching.

The shaman spoke, "What is it?"

The Clam Witch and the Lotus Witch exchanged a glance. The Lotus Witch stood up and bowed first. Her expression was solemn: "Respected Sirius Witch, the Clam Witch and I are both divination witches. Ever since the Jiang Witch asked us to use divination to predict good and bad fortune for the tribe, we have been frequently performing divination. Recently, we have been casting divination repeatedly, and the result is always the same: danger is imminent! If things go wrong, we will all die here."

Sirius the Witch was startled, his expression turning serious: "Was the divination correct? Do you know the specifics? A powerful ferocious beast? Or does a tribe want to attack us?"

Lotus Witch shook her head: "Clam Witch and I have jointly divined several times, and the result is always the same. We can only conclude that danger will come from the sea."

seaside?

Jiang Ning fell into deep thought. What dangers could there be at the seaside? Nothing more than typhoons and tsunamis.

But this place is so far from the sea. Even if the typhoon is fierce, given the physical condition of the soldiers, at most some people will be injured. How could it put the entire tribe in crisis?

Surely no giant sea monster will land here?

Am I caught up with the theory of evolution?
