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

"I've already eaten. Is this the place the Lotus Tribe has chosen to live?"

Lotus Witch hurried over and replied, "Yes, there is a place here where we can grow them, and the Queen Lotus can also hunt for food on its own."

Jiang Ning asked in surprise, "The river here is so rapid and deep, can they adapt?"

“No problem, the Queen of the Water Lily has a very developed root system that can take deep root in the water. If they feel uncomfortable, they can move to a different place on their own,” Lotus Witch said with a smile.

"So what if the river freezes over in winter?"

“The Queen of the Night Water Lily will go dormant in winter, and its leaves and petals will fall off, only the rhizomes will continue to grow. We will collect the leaves, process them and use them to hold things. When the snow melts and spring comes, the Queen of the Night Water Lily will quickly grow new leaves.”

"That's good then." Jiang Ning nodded, looking around. The Lian tribe people had traveled a long way. Some were resting, some were already wandering around, looking for a suitable place to dig a cave, and many more were sitting around the fire, still eating.

Jiang Ning's eyes widened. What's this person doing here?

"Brother! What are you doing here?" Jiang Ning called out loudly to Wu, who was sitting by the fire. Wu was holding a grilled fish and talking animatedly to the person next to him, who was laughing heartily at his antics.

Normally, Wu shouldn't be in the Lian tribe's territory. It's only because the Lian tribe hasn't officially settled there that they allow him to roam freely like this.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, Wu froze, instinctively wanting to hide.

Seeing his comical actions, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh. The place where the Lian tribe ate was right by the river, full of mud, sand, and stones, and completely bare without a single tree. Where could he hide?

She quickly caught up, already some distance from the Lian tribe. She grabbed Wu's arm: "Brother, I'm a level two warrior, where do you think you're hiding?"

Wu muttered, "Well, maybe I'm fast..."

Jiang Ning glanced at the spot where Wu had been sitting, next to a young woman. She had a rough idea of ​​what was going on and couldn't help but chuckle. "Brother, what's the point of hiding from me? There are so many people here, do you think I can't find out?"

Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Wu's face gradually turned red, and she looked a little shy. Jiang Ning seemed to see Da Shi who had brought Fu Rong back back then, but she didn't expect that Wu would also be shy.

He'd only been in the Lotus Tribe for a short time, and he'd already fallen in love after just one meal?

"Brother, do you like her?" Jiang Ning asked directly, his eyes full of curiosity.

Wu became even more embarrassed by Jiang Ning's question, and he abruptly shook off Jiang Ning's hand: "Don't talk nonsense!"

After saying that, he hurriedly left the Lotus Tribe.

Once on the other side, he jumped back and whispered in Jiang Ning's ear, "Don't tell Father and Mother!" Then he hurriedly ran away again.

Jiang Ning watched his flustered back speechlessly. Even if she was willing to keep it a secret for Wu, were the others blind and mute?

Furong leaned closer and, with a gossipy look on her face, revealed some inside information to Jiang Ning: "The woman Wu likes is named Lühe. She likes strong and intelligent people, so she hasn't had a partner yet. It's probably going to be difficult for Wu to be with Lühe."

"This is really..." Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly. What should he do?

Although Wu is already a first-level warrior, he still has a long way to go compared to experienced warriors. As for intelligence, just looking at his foolish appearance earlier, it's clear that such a thing has little to do with him.

Jiang Ning walked back to Lian Wu's side, and Lian Wu asked with a smile, "Is that Jiang Wu's older brother?"

"Yes, his name is Wu, and he's in the same hunting team as Furong now."

Lianwu said, "Then he really does have a connection with the Lian tribe."

Jiang Ning understood what Lian Wu meant and couldn't help but speak up: "Although he is my elder brother, Lian Wu doesn't need to care about my thoughts. Let them decide their own affairs with Lü He. If he violates the taboos of the Lian tribe, Lian Wu can simply have him thrown out."

“Jiang Wu is truly generous. Our Lian tribe has no taboos. Since the three tribes are now gathered together, why not let them come and go freely? There are still many people in our tribe who are without partners. Perhaps they can find suitable partners here.”

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment and replied, "This is indeed a good matter. I will ask the shaman for his opinion and then discuss it with you and the clam shaman."

Lianwu replied respectfully, "That's natural."

Without hesitation, Jiang Ning immediately turned back to the tribe. Time was of the essence; he would have to go hunting again soon.

“It’s a good thing that the tribespeople can find partners and the population will increase. Go and do it.” The shaman had just finished eating and was lazily lying on a deck chair, basking in the sun with his eyes closed.

This recliner was carved by Jiang Ning from a single piece of wood. Since there's plenty of space here, there's no need to fold it; as long as you can lie down, that's enough. Jiang Ning made this recliner spacious and comfortable.

Wu's health was poor, not only because of his old age, but also because of various ailments accumulated over the years. Sunbathing could not relieve the pain much, but it could at least make him feel a little more comfortable.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning did not leave. Instead, he solemnly said, "Witch, I want to allow them the freedom to choose which tribe to live in."

The shaman didn't even lift his eyelids, seemingly having already anticipated Jiang Ning's words: "I know what you mean. Do as you please. These tribes are all under your control. Do whatever you want with them, I'm at ease. But regarding the external tribes, you must remember the lesson of the Fire Tribe. Don't be soft-hearted when you encounter betrayed tribesmen. Protect your tribe. You are the shaman, you must protect your people."

"Yes!"

Upon reaching the square, Jiang Ning instructed someone to invite the Clam Witch and the Lotus Witch.

Now, the three tribes together have nearly 700 people. Apart from those who have just come of age and haven't had time to find partners, there are also many widows in the tribes. If they can find each other companions, they can have more children next year.

There was no quiet place to discuss matters here, so Jiang Ning waited for them to arrive by the river.

"Jiang Wu!"

"Jiang Wu!"

The Clam Witch and the Lotus Witch stood beside her and bowed to her together.

Jiang Ning waved his hand, casually found a large rock to sit on, the rock was scorching hot from the sun, but Jiang Ning pretended to be nonchalant and told them to find a place to sit as well. Only when he saw that they were also grimacing from the heat did he speak.

“Currently, we have three tribes here, and many people in these tribes haven’t found partners yet. They might not have met the right person at the trade fair, but now that everyone lives together, if they can meet and interact more often, they might change their minds. What do you think?”

Although the Sirius Tribe and the Clam Tribe are separated only by a river, everyone is busy with their own affairs every day, rarely even seeing their own relatives, let alone contacting people from other tribes.

Now that the Lotus Tribe has arrived, it's probably the same.
