I am a Primitive Man
Chapter 284 – She is still a child
“That thing is Chai Hu!” Han Cheng thought with joy in his heart. Then, he worried he might be mistaken, so he reached out again to cover the milk tea girl’s forehead, carefully feeling it.
“It’s not as hot as before.
It should be because she’s feeling comfortable. The milk tea girl sleeps soundly, with some tiny beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.
Perhaps sensing something, the milk tea girl, in her dream, slightly shook her head and leaned towards Han Cheng.
With joy in his heart, Han Cheng withdrew his hand. After looking down at the milk tea girl for a while, he suddenly felt that the girl’s appearance was not bad.
Then he realized his thoughts and couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
Being influenced by people like Zhuang, Ruhua, and Xing all day affected his aesthetics. Looking at this primitive girl, who was thinner, fair-skinned, and with softer facial features, he actually found her quite attractive.
Han Cheng stood at the boat’s bow and released his urine into the clear river water.
Feeling good and peeing far away, the fish peeking at the water’s surface were startled by the warm water and quickly darted away.
After securing his pants with a rope, Han Cheng turned around and found that the milk tea girl had already woken up at some point and was blinking her eyes, looking at him.
Han Cheng’s face flushed red. He thought, “What’s this girl looking at? Doesn’t she know it’s impolite to stare?”
Then he thought again, “Well, I examined her thoroughly yesterday, although it was for medical purposes. Since she’s looking back at me now, it’s not like I’m losing out. It’s just a matter of reciprocity.”
With these thoughts, he couldn’t help but smile, thinking that this milk tea girl really had a knack for not losing out.
But who knows if she’ll eventually turn into matcha.
Given the current situation, it’s very likely.
The senior brothers had also woken up. Someone pulled out the fish traps soaking in the water, and Third Senior Brother and the others carried several birds that had been shot with arrows.
Soon, a fire was lit to start breakfast.
Compared to yesterday, the milk tea girl was no longer as terrified.
After bathing and changing clothes, she seemed like a different person.
At this moment, she stood in the small boat, hands pressed against her stomach, watching Third Senior Brother and the others plucking birds with wide eyes.
She couldn’t understand how they had caught so many birds.
In their tribe, they could usually only find some bird eggs or chicks. It was rare to catch adult birds.
Han Cheng glanced at the milk tea girl’s hands on her stomach and understood what was happening. Thinking momentarily, he pulled the small boat to the shore and signaled for the milk tea girl to take care of her business in a safe spot a few meters away from the senior brothers.
The milk tea girl understood quickly.
Han Cheng waited outside, planning to bring her back to the boat after a while.
Although her condition had improved, her illness hadn’t completely disappeared, so it was best to minimize her contact with the senior brothers for now.
After waiting and not seeing the milk tea girl come out, Han Cheng thought, “Women are troublesome. It takes so long to handle personal matters.”
With these thoughts, he waited a little longer but still didn’t see her. Han Cheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Could she have secretly run off or been carried away by something?
When he was younger, he had heard plenty of stories about wolves carrying off children.
Thinking like this, he disregarded the somewhat ridiculous male-female precautions of this era and turned to push aside the grass and take a few steps inside. He saw the milk tea girl standing there neatly dressed.
Han Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that she was already dressed, he called her to come out.
He called twice, but she just raised her head like a startled deer and looked at him without coming out. Han Cheng thought she didn’t understand, so he pulled her by hand.
The milk tea girl shook her head with some resistance, showing a nearly tearful expression.
Han Cheng looked down at the ground and didn’t see any traces. Then he noticed that the milk tea girl’s hands were placed on her waist, and the rope had been tied around her waist.
Han Cheng sniffled. How could he forget about this?
He went over and began to untie it for her.
For some reason, Han Cheng’s mind was not functioning correctly. After untying it, he took off her pants, which was quite a service.
When he saw the bald little mound, Han Cheng realized what he had done and quickly helped her put them back on.
However, these pants were not the elastic kind from the future, and coupled with the mediocre sewing skills of the Green Sparrow Tribe, the pants were too big around Han Cheng’s waist, let alone the much smaller milk tea girl.
As soon as he lifted them and let go, the pants fell again.
His mind was blank, and Han Cheng looked dazed as he reached down to pick them up again.
After doing this three times, he finally realized what was happening. Instead of struggling with the pants anymore, he turned around and awkwardly walked away.
As he walked, he flicked his forehead with his fingers.
Damn it, how could he do such a thing?
He was still a child, and she was just a child too.
Seeing the milk tea girl walking awkwardly with her pants held up, Han Cheng had to squat down again and teach her how to tie the belt.
The milk tea girl’s pants slipped again during this process, making Han Cheng’s face turn green.
With one hand holding a bowl and the other holding a bitten willow stick, the milk tea girl tried to recall the demonstration of a smiling, not much older than her, underage person from earlier. She clumsily poked her mouth with some white substance.
As she poked, she glanced at the underage person making a fire.
From yesterday to this morning, in this short period, she had encountered many things she had never seen before.
Among her peers in the tribe, she was the one who learned the most, but here, she found that she seemed to know nothing.
And the underage person who didn’t seem much older than her knew everything and was very capable.
Thinking like this, she felt much better after brushing her teeth, drinking some bad-tasting hot water, and eating a big bowl of delicious food.
Sitting on the small boat, she looked at everything she had never seen before, constantly thinking: What kind of magical appearance would they have if it was already like this now?
With the oars paddling, the small boat moved against the water, and before noon, they arrived at Wangdong Mountain.
Carrying bone shovels and other tools, they abandoned the boat and went ashore to dig for the herb called Chai Hu, which the Divine Child said was quite common in this area.
From Han Cheng, everyone had already learned about the medicinal properties of this herb, so without his instructions, the senior brothers were all enthusiastic.
After all, they had witnessed the miraculous effects of this medicine with their own eyes.
In the other tribes, people were being burned alive, but after being given some water boiled with these herb roots by the Divine Child, they felt much better, as if they had been brought back from the brink of death.
They weren’t fools. If something were this good, it would be strange not to notice it.
They replanted several jars with soil, replanted Chai Hu in them, and dug out many Chai Hu roots to return to the boat.
Han Cheng planned to dry and store these Chai Hu roots for future use.
Otherwise, it would be too late if they needed them later and had to travel by boat to get them.
Four small boats moved on the water, getting closer and closer to the tribe where they lived and the tribe that they were gradually building up.
Compared to when they left, the people’s mood at this moment was undoubtedly much higher.
