I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 255 – Just because I glanced at you a little more in the crowd
Once the matter of the New Year was settled, the atmosphere in the Green Sparrow Tribe immediately became different.
It was a mixture of fear, anticipation, and vague excitement.
However, the training sessions held every three days did not stop. In addition to assembly, left turn, and right turn, the training also included archery, stone throwing, shield holding, and spear thrusting. Group training was the main focus.
In this regard, in his later life, Han Cheng had only trained in formation twice and had never encountered weapons combat. It was all about gradually exploring.
Today, the canoe-making process officially stopped inside the spacious deer shed. The primary canoe-making personnel—Lame, Mu Tou, and Hei Wa—needed to make one or two more drums. This was the consensus of the Green Sparrow Tribe, which was worried that only one drum wouldn’t scare the terrifying Nian.
By now, the Green Sparrow Tribe already had three completed canoes, all made from large tree trunks cut and hollowed out by burning. The space inside was not small; six people and some necessary supplies could fit comfortably inside.
The regrettable thing was that the river surface had been frozen, so there was no way to take the canoes out for a trial run and test their specific performance.
Another issue was that, since the interiors were burned out with fire, it was easy for people to get dirty once they went inside.
This required people to polish with rough stones and other items carefully.
The women of the Green Sparrow Tribe also had another task, assigned by Han Cheng, the Divine Child: to sew a new garment for each member of the tribe.
These clothes would be distributed to everyone on New Year’s Eve.
Since the tribe’s members lived together and Han Cheng didn’t deliberately hide this matter, it quickly spread throughout the entire Green Sparrow Tribe.
The underage individuals and even the adults of the Green Sparrow Tribe became more eager for the New Year.
As the saying goes, new clothes make the person look new. Disliking old and liking new clothes is a common human trait. Even the primitive people of the Green Sparrow Tribe liked clothes that looked better and felt more comfortable to wear, especially those made using the methods taught by the Divine Child Han Cheng, which were so comfortable and warm.
The sun, which had not been seen for several days, finally came out again.
Many wooden stumps and stones were placed in the cleared space by the south wall. The women of the Green Sparrow Tribe gathered in twos and threes, sitting in the sun, holding tanned fur, bone needles, bone awls, ropes, and other items, making clothes according to the methods taught by the Divine Child.
Older girls like Xing, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Li were also here, helping the adults make clothes. Those who were good at making clothes would occasionally teach them some necessary techniques.
Thicker hides were pierced with bone awls and then sewn with bone needles and thread, while thinner hides were directly sewn with bone needles that could hold several times more stitches than the iron needles of later generations.
Xing was currently sewing clothes with a bone needle. Her hands were still too weak, and it wasn’t easy to pierce the hides with the bone needle.
After failing to pierce the hide twice in a row, she picked up a bone board placed in a circular basket braided by Lame.
In the middle of the bone board were many small pits specially carved out.
Xing placed the bone board on the tail end of the bone needle. The tail end of the bone needle quickly sank into the small pits on the bone board, and then she exerted force with her hand. The needle, initially difficult to pierce, pierced through the hide.
She placed the bone board back into the small basket containing needles, thread, and some leather scraps, finished sewing the stitch, and looked up to see the Divine Child walking past not far away.
The larger-bellied, tail-wagging Fu Jiang accompanied the Divine Child.
The Divine Child taught the bone needles, the bone board used for topping the needles, and even the method of sewing clothes.
Xing couldn’t help but wonder again how did the Divine Child know so much…
Han Cheng was unaware of Xing’s thoughts. If he had known, he would surely have proudly stroked his chin and thought to himself, “It’s not that I know too much; it’s that you know too little.”
Han Cheng walked to the side and looked from afar at the people gathered around sewing clothes. In the chilly air, the warm sunlight fell, covering most of the courtyard.
It enveloped him and the people making clothes.
In a daze, it gave the illusion – at this moment, he wasn’t in a primitive tribe but had returned to that distant and clear village.
In the same idle winter moments, those familiar young and old women, holding needles and thread, gathered in the courtyard of someone’s home, doing chores while chatting.
A few accompanying children gathered together, playing with marbles, jacks, or other items…
In this kind of daze, Xing unconsciously raised her head again after picking up and putting down the boneboard, looking towards the shaman. Their eyes met.
“Xing, the Divine Child, is looking at you and wants to sleep with you.”
When working women gather together, there is always a strong sense of gossip, whether in later generations or primitive tribes.
As the shaman, Han Cheng was like a spotlight in the Green Sparrow Tribe. Once he appeared outside, he quickly attracted everyone’s attention.
So, the Divine Child’s actions were seen by many.
Some time ago, the Shaman and the leader wanted to make Xing the Divine Child’s spouse. Naturally, in such a small tribe, there was no way to hide this.
Sex, or things related to sex, is a topic that will never lose its heat.
From primitive times to now and until who knows when in the future.
The way primitive people express their feelings always seems relatively straightforward.
Xiao Mei stretched her neck, looked at the person who had been watching for a while, then looked at Xing, who was also looking at the Divine Child and said with a slightly lowered voice.
Her slightly suppressed voice elicited a wave of friendly laughter.
If it were elsewhere, a woman teased like this in public would feel embarrassed, but Xing remained unchanged.
She didn’t retract her gaze and said seriously, yet somewhat disheartenedly, “The Divine Child doesn’t want to sleep with me.”
“You can defeat the Divine Child, then sleep with him.”
This time, it was spoken by an adult female primitive who had defeated her own man in the past and then successfully slept with the man she admired.
Therefore, saying this now seemed somewhat justified.
In the tribe, such things were allowed to happen, although they didn’t occur often.
Xing’s eyes brightened. In terms of fighting, the Divine Child couldn’t beat her…
Xiao Mei, who had teased Xing, and Xiao Li not far away, suddenly seemed to realize something.
