We made you the chief, and now you've become the world's chief?

Chapter 1 A Young Man Arrives in Primitive Times

Chapter 1 A Young Man Arrives in Primitive Times
Shea needs a man because spring is almost over.

If they mate any later, they won't be able to give birth when the snow melts.

The old woman said that if you give birth in winter, the child will die, and if you give birth in spring, you will die.

I remembered how my mother cried bitterly in the cave after my newborn brother froze to death...

And there's the image of my sister dying in agony, pale and writhing after giving birth in the spring...

Shea couldn't help but become worried.

But when she cautiously peeked out and looked over the thick tree trunk to see that tall figure, joy instantly washed away the melancholy on Shia's face.

Shea thought he would be the man she would have her first sexual encounter with.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have let myself run into him while gathering berries.

Touching the thick, long wooden stick in her hand, Shia felt even more certain, and a simple smile appeared on her face.

He would definitely be willing to come back to the tribe with me.

……

Xia Minghao suddenly turned around and looked back, only to see the dense forest rustling in the wind and the gurgling river.

"That's strange, why do I feel like something is watching me?"

He didn't continue walking. He took out his military water bottle and, while observing the situation behind him, surveyed his surroundings.

Beneath the glow of the setting sun, towering, sturdy trees line both banks of the river.

The tree canopy blocked out the sun, and the layers of branches and leaves trembled slightly in the wind. The ground was covered with shrubs and dark green moss.

Such pristine and natural scenery, whether posted on Xiaohongshu or Weibo, would definitely evoke the longing of countless working people driven crazy by the fast pace of life.

Actually, seeing this scenery was Xia Minghao's purpose in coming here, but now he no longer had the good mood to take photos, check in, and enjoy nature.

"Where did I come from? Is this still the Ailao Mountains in Yunnan?"

I came here to experience outdoor adventure, but something strange happened after I came out of the tent this morning.

Not only did his outdoor adventure companions disappear, but his cell phone also lost signal, and even the Beidou navigation system malfunctioned.

It made it seem like I had arrived at a place that no detector could find.

After confirming that his mental confusion was not caused by the effects of eating Boletus luridus the previous day, Xia Minghao began to walk along the river.

This is survival knowledge shared by an experienced senior member of a wilderness exploration team.

As long as it's not an undeveloped, pristine area, you generally won't encounter any dangers walking along the river.

The water will eventually flow into a larger river or out of the forest.

Following the water flow ensures that you won't die of thirst in the worst-case scenario.

On the other hand, the probability of encountering people is high, and you may end up in a village or along a road.

"Damn! It's empty!"

As Xia Minghao tilted his head back to drink, he realized that the water in the kettle was gone.

After realizing this fact, the feeling of thirst became even stronger.

Hearing the sound of the flowing river beside him, Xia Minghao naturally looked over.

How about we get some water?
But reason told him not to do it; they weren't about to die of thirst yet.

The outdoor adventure experience I gained was still from chatting with that older brother.

Don't overestimate your gut health; it's not that strong, and not everyone has the physical capabilities of Ed Stafford and Bear Grylls.

"If we keep walking, even if we don't meet anyone, at least we can find a signal. We can make a call for help then, but I don't know how much it will cost."

Thinking of this, Xia Minghao couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

What I'm heartbroken about isn't the money, but the trip I squeezed out of time to arrange for myself.

Finally, I've escaped the fast-paced society, free from the noise of meetings with leaders and the exhaustion of working overtime late into the night.

All the equipment for this expedition was carefully prepared.

Portable fishing rod, entrenching tool, survival knife, binoculars, outdoor medical kit...

The windproof jacket and high-top heavy-duty hiking boots were also newly purchased.

Unfortunately, enjoying outdoor adventures is now a luxury; avoiding accidents and being late for work have become Xia Minghao's only goals. He slung his water bottle back over his shoulder, turned around, and prepared to continue walking along the river.

Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound behind me.

Before I could turn around, I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head...

……

The cave entrance in the afterglow of the setting sun.

A group of women gazed into the distance with worried expressions, occasionally shouting into the distance as if hoping for a response.

It was getting dark, and in the past, the men would never come back this late, whether they had caught any prey or not.

This unusual situation seems to foreshadow something terrible about to happen.

A tribe cannot exist without men.

Without the occasional hunts by men, and relying solely on gathering, they simply could not survive.

Moreover, if other tribes discover them, they will come with spears to annex their tribe, and their young children will be killed.

What's more, the rainy season is just around the corner...

The woman standing at the very edge had the most serious look of worry on her face.

Besides waiting for the men of the tribe to return, she was also waiting for her daughter, Shia.

The occasional shouts from the women gradually turned into wails, and some women even started crying.

Just then, a small figure appeared in the distance.

"Sia!"

Shea's mother screamed and rushed over.

"Sia, what are you carrying on your back?"

When I first saw what Shia, who was covered in sweat, was carrying, I thought it was prey.

Such a large prey is enough to feed the tribe for a day.

They have never had a full meal.

But when she saw what her so-called "prey" looked like, Shia's mother exclaimed in surprise, and the sound also attracted the attention of the other women in front of the cave entrance.

Shea actually brought back a person, and it was a strange man!

"Mom, I want to mate with him!"

Seeing the fear on her mother's face, Xia was puzzled and asked in confusion.

“Wild man! Shia, wild men cannot be kept.”

"Get rid of him quickly."

"He will run away after he wakes up."

"After he escapes, he will bring his tribe to conquer us."

The women who gathered around also noticed that Xia had actually brought a man back, and they accused her in a panic.

In this matriarchal clan era, every clan was bound by blood ties.

Outsiders can join, but it must be voluntary; otherwise, it will only cause trouble.

“Leave him here.”

At that moment, a voice that was not old but full of authority came down, and the noisy discussion came to an abrupt halt.
