I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 388 – Salt is no longer free
The leader of the Green Tribe is always so proactive. After arriving at the Green Sparrow Tribe, he first looked at the large pot already set up outside the gate, which had been cleared out for the execution of the leader of the Bone Tribe. Then he greeted the Eldest Senior Brother, who came out to meet them with a handshake.
Primitive people are straightforward. Even though Han Cheng had seen it many times before, seeing it again now still made him somewhat emotional.
After the two tribes met, there wasn’t much small talk. They immediately got to the point.
As usual, the Eldest Senior Brother was the first to choose. As expected, he once again chose the two spouses by the side of the leader of the Green Tribe. The leader of the Green Tribe also chose the big-bottomed spouse of the Eldest Senior Brother.
The two of them smiled knowingly and, with tacit understanding, brought their chosen partners to the platform used to execute the leader of the Bone-Cutting Tribe…
Han Cheng, who was watching on the sidelines, was dumbfounded. Couldn’t they be a bit less aggressive? Couldn’t they be a bit more low-key?
After watching for a while, seeing Bai Xue standing beside him and watching the battlefield with relish, Han Cheng quickly pulled his little wife and retreated into the courtyard.
They should not corrupt Little wife. Han Cheng couldn’t imitate the bold style of the Eldest Senior Brother and the others.
“You mustn’t learn from them. That’s not good behavior.”
Inside the room, Han Cheng earnestly educated his little wife on the ideological subject.
“What about their leader…”
Bai Xue blinked innocently.
“That’s for procreation…”
Han Cheng sniffed.
“But Brother Cheng still peeks…”
Han Cheng “…”
After a fierce battle, where they were fighting to the death just a while ago, both sides were gathering around a large pot to eat. The men were lazy, while the women were spirited.
In such battles, the relatively weaker female primitive people always easily defeated the male primitive people.
Only tired deer exist, not broken land.
No one knows who came up with this saying, which gradually spread in the Green Sparrow Tribe and gained the approval of most male primitive people.
For some reason, the leader of the Green Tribe always felt that the food made by the Green Sparrow Tribe was tastier than that of their tribe. After eating three big bowls in a row, he forced himself to eat a little more, feeling completely satisfied.
That night, the people of the Green Tribe rested outside the walls of the Green Sparrow Tribe.
Although the people of the Green Tribe were somewhat dissatisfied with this, they didn’t complain too much. After all, if their tribe hosted a celebration, they wouldn’t let other tribes enter their caves to rest either.
The next day, the Sheep Tribe and Donkey Tribe arrived one after the other, and the hides they brought astonished the leader of the Green Tribe.
Where did these two tribes get so many hides? How did they become so strong now?
After a brief shock, the leader of the Green Tribe became proud again because he remembered the wild grass seeds around his tribe.
The people of the Sheep Tribe, who arrived first, were shocked to see the Donkey Tribe, who brought even more hides than they did.
After one or two years of exchange, there shouldn’t be many hides left among these tribes. So how come the people of the Donkey Tribe could still produce so many hides?
Could they, like their own tribe, have a lot of game passing nearby in the fall?
But it wasn’t quite right. The hides brought by their tribe were mostly sheepskins, while the Donkey Tribe brought a variety of hides.
In addition to grazing animals, there were also many hides of meat-eating animals.
Little did the Sheep Tribe know that while they were surprised by the hides brought by the Donkey Tribe, the Donkey Tribe was equally surprised by the prosperity of the Sheep Tribe.
The leader of the Donkey Tribe thought that the people of the Sheep Tribe, like them, had begun trading with other tribes using pottery and other items.
Therefore, the people from the Donkey Tribe gazed somewhat unfriendly at the people of the Sheep Tribe.
Traveling companions are enemies. The leader of the Donkey Tribe didn’t know this saying, but out of instinct, he still emitted some hostility.
The people of the Sheep Tribe sensed this and reciprocated the unfriendliness towards the Donkey Tribe.
So, in the ensuing celebration, the ever-opportunistic leader of the Green Tribe was delighted.
Because after the Sheep Tribe and the Donkey Tribe stopped dealing with each other, in the ensuing celebration, they didn’t choose many people from each other’s tribe. Instead, most of their partners were from the larger Green Sparrow Tribe and Green Tribe.
This meant that the likelihood of pregnancy among the female primitive people of the tribes would increase, and the tribes’ population would grow. How could he not be happy about this?
The initially happy leader of the Green Tribe soon became unhappy. After the celebration ended, he requested to take back some more salt from the wealthy Green Sparrow Tribe, but their leader didn’t comply. Instead, he shook his head, indicating they needed something in exchange.
He wasn’t the only one who was unhappy; the leaders of the Sheep Tribe and the Donkey Tribe, who were also treated this way, felt similarly displeased after understanding what was happening.
After enjoying free salt for so long, these guys had come to take it for granted, completely forgetting the gratitude they had felt when they first learned that the Green Sparrow Tribe would provide salt for free.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the Eldest Senior Brother had already sung his blackface song almost to the end, Han Cheng shook his sleeves, cleared his throat, and made a shiny appearance to play his red face.
The three tribal leaders who were surrounding the Eldest Senior Brother and criticizing him stopped as soon as they saw Han Cheng as if they had seen a savior and quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Then, they began to speak to Han Cheng with some excitement.
In their impression, the leader of this tribe was a stingy person, while the tribe’s Divine Child was very generous and straightforward. They believed that by telling him about this matter, they could get a good resolution.
