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

Chapter 154 The Legend of Yellow Skin
It's because of skin color?
Xia Minghao then understood why the two sisters reacted this way.

But that doesn't make sense.
I've met so many primitive people before, and not one of them said anything because of their skin color.

Why are these two so sensitive about skin color?
"Don't be afraid, I... I saved you!"

Seeing the two sisters' panicked expressions, Xia Minghao immediately began to present facts and evidence, pointing to the hairy human fragments behind him to prove that he was a good person.

“Yellow people are scary. My father said that yellow people are the scariest, even scarier than hairy people.”

what's the situation?
Xia Minghao sensed something was wrong when he heard this.

These two sisters' father actually met a person of the same race as himself?
Could it be someone from my hometown?!
"I'm a good person, I saved you. Don't be scared, I'll give you food, good food."

Xia Minghao felt increasingly anxious; he desperately wanted to know the identity of the yellow-clad person the two sisters had spoken of in fearful voices.

But the two sisters were so frightened that they lost their minds. No matter how much Xia Minghao tried to persuade them, they remained the same.

Xia Minghao suddenly remembered something he had read in psychology class: if a person is subjected to strong stimulation, one way to deal with it is through physical stimulation.

In other words, it's what's called "waking someone up."

In the story of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination, Fan Jin regained his senses after being slapped by his father-in-law.

The two sisters are clearly in similar situations. They were first surrounded by hairy people, then they saw their werewolf form, and now they see themselves as yellow-skinned people.

This whole thing must have been a huge shock.

That being the case...

Xia Minghao slapped the girl's buttocks.

Unexpectedly, two voices were emitted at the same time.

The twin sisters actually cried out at the same time, and the cry of Anan, who was not hit, was even louder.

Eh?
Why is this?

Xia Minghao looked at his own slap, then at the two sisters, and felt a little puzzled.

Just as Xia Minghao had expected, the two women suddenly calmed down, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in their eyes.

Looking at Xia Ming, his older sister Adi said in a trembling voice.

"You, you saved us, aren't you scary?"

"Of course not. You eat this, it's delicious. I'm good, not scary. I saved you."

This time, Xia Minghao stuffed the dried meat directly into Adi's little mouth.

Once the meaty smell entered Adi's mouth, she no longer resisted.

"And you, you eat too."

Seeing that they had finally established the first step of communication and that the two sisters were willing to eat the food of this strange uncle, Xia Minghao breathed a sigh of relief.

This is even more complicated than dealing with the Mao people just now.

"You are good, you saved us, but you have yellow skin..."

"Yes, I have yellow skin."

After waiting a moment and watching the two sisters eat slowly and enjoy their meal, they actually brought up the matter on their own initiative.

Xia Minghao quickly answered and asked a question.

Have you seen any other people with yellow skin?

Upon hearing this, both Adi and Anan shook their heads.

Just then, Ah Nan spoke.

“It was my father who told us; he heard it from the shaman.”

After hearing Anan's explanation, it felt like this tribe had seen people with yellow skin for a very long time, as if it were a long time ago.

Seeing such fear suggests that these people may have been harmed by the yellow-skinned people they referred to.

This has even led to a saying that has been passed down through generations.

"What else do you know?"

Xia Minghao immediately asked again, but the two sisters could only shake their heads this time.

"We only know that yellow-skinned people are terrifying, even more terrifying than hairy people, the most terrifying of all."

"When I was little, my mother said that if I went to faraway places, I would meet people with yellow skin."

Ok?
Xia Minghao had many guesses in his mind and was not sure, but after hearing the last sentence, he suddenly became more certain.

The people with yellow skin they were talking about must have existed a very long time ago.

This is just like when a child won't sleep at night, and the parents say scary things or something supernatural to frighten the child.

These things may exist, but they all have one thing in common: they won't actually be that terrifying.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be scaring children, but would become a curse.

But if we want to know what really happened, the only possibility seems to be finding the so-called "witch" mentioned by the girl.

“I am good. I am here to help you so that you will not die or be killed by the hairy people.”

"Could you take me to your tribe?"

Xia Minghao spoke to the two sisters, explaining that his original purpose was to establish contact with the survivors by the lake through them.

"Tribe. Our tribe."

Hearing Xia Minghao's request, A-Nan felt uneasy, while A-Di fell into thought.

“I want to go back to the tribe, but our father is dead, so I can’t go back.”

"Can you be our father? If you are our father, we can go back to our tribe."

What do you mean?
Xia Minghao frowned as he looked at the twin sisters.
What kind of strange tribe is this, and what kind of culture has it developed?
Can't go back without a father?

why?
Xia Minghao thought he had misheard and checked again and again, but he was even more confused.

When asked, the two sisters could not give a clear explanation at all.

This situation shouldn't happen in theory. In fact, Xia Minghao had guessed before he came that the survivor tribes by the lake were probably not much better off than the former Xi tribe.

After all, with immense pressure to survive, it's difficult to have the time and energy for anything beyond acquiring food and surviving.

But after this encounter, Xia Minghao felt that something was quite wrong.

The same goes for that bighorn deer.

At the same time, Xia Minghao turned around and looked at the large antlered deer, which was now vigilantly watching its surroundings, as if it were standing guard.

Not only did they not run away, but they also seemed to dare to confront the hairy people and protect the two sisters.

How were these giant deer trained?

All the doubts could not be answered at this time; one had to go to the survivor tribe where the two sisters lived to find out.

As for the request of this temporary father to the two sisters.

Although I felt that the two sisters were not much younger than me, I had no choice but to temporarily impersonate them.

“Okay, I’ll be your father, and you take me to your tribe.” After a moment’s hesitation, a smile actually appeared on Adi’s face this time, and she nodded happily.

Xia Minghao took out paper and pen again and started sketching as he walked.

As dusk approached, I felt my clothes being tugged a few times.

It was my auntie who always stood beside me and walked with me.

Anan sat on the giant deer.

"What's wrong."

“Ah, Father, our tribe has been established.”

hiss……

Xia Minghao found this sound strange, and he could also sense the awkwardness when Adi said it.

"From now on, if someone calls me that, don't call me that if no one else does. I am not your real father."

"Oh."

Xia Minghao said it casually, but after hearing it, a hint of loneliness appeared on Adi's face.

Looking up, Xia Minghao saw a large patch of densely packed low trees, interspersed with the tall trees, quite conspicuous.

It is a palm tree.

Looking at the map again, Xia Minghao made calculations in his mind and began to consider the matter.

If palm oil production is truly to be carried out, bringing it back to the Xia tribe is clearly not a practical solution.

Without river transport, relying on land transport is too costly.

It seems that another batch of people will have to migrate over then.

But where did all these people come from? It's really a bit of a problem.

"You have a large lake, don't you? Where is it?"

After Xia Minghao finished making the notes, he asked the two sisters a question.

"It's just ahead. You, you really want to be our father, right?"

"Um... that's possible."

No promises were made, but Adi still showed a hint of joy after hearing them.

As you go deeper, the vegetation becomes noticeably denser, but it consists mostly of low shrubs, and the biodiversity is very low.

After spotting Xia Minghao and his group, they immediately ran off to see if they could still see wild giant deer.

"arrive!"

As he was observing the surrounding terrain and pondering what kind of tactical training he should give the deer riders for future battles, he suddenly heard Adi's voice.

Xia Minghao looked around, but the area was completely empty.

where?
Xia Minghao, still puzzled, looked at Adi again and asked.

"There!"

This time, Adi raised her hand and pointed diagonally upwards.

It's in a tree?!
Xia Minghao looked up at the tree and was surprised to see small treehouses standing twenty or thirty meters high!

"Adi! Why did you come back! You should have left."

At this moment, a man standing in the setting sun seemed to have overheard Xia Minghao's conversation and finally noticed the group.

He recognized Adi and Anan at a glance.

Only after she finished speaking did she see the man's figure.

"Adi, who did you bring back?"

"Is this my father?!"

"Dad?"

The man was clearly stunned by those words, and only then did he begin to examine the man closely.

When the man saw Xia Minghao's skin color clearly, he almost fell off the tree.

He immediately started shouting at the top of his lungs.

"They're the enemy! Not Mao people! Yellow, yellow people!"

Has this been discovered?

Xia Minghao only showed his face, but I didn't expect that he could be recognized.

Then, he took a few steps back and watched the treehouse react. More and more men ran out, each holding a stone spear.

The numbers were astonishing; some wooden houses had four or five men running out, while others had seven or eight.

Originally, there were already quite a few wooden houses, seventeen or eighteen in total, and I thought there would only be twenty or thirty people in total. But when I counted them, there must be close to a hundred men alone.

How lucky I was to discover such a large survivor tribe on the shore of the great lake.

While Xia Minghao was overjoyed, he was also thinking about how to establish a friendly connection with these people and gradually get them to join the Xia tribe.

"I am good, I am not."

He immediately tried to explain, but unexpectedly, a stone spear flew over, but because it was not aimed accurately, it landed far away.

It was already an attack from a high position, and the stone spear was thrown with all its might. If it had actually landed on them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

It seemed that this first spear reminded everyone, and they all raised their stone spears, ready to launch a group attack.

Damn it, if you won't listen to my explanation, then I can't be polite anymore.

He had already placed the wolf totem wooden box in his hand when, unexpectedly, Adi suddenly jumped out and stood in front of Xia Minghao.

"This is my father, please don't hurt him!"

However, several stone spears had already been thrown from his hands.

Stone spears are blind, so how could they understand Adi's words?

Having experienced death, Adi finally realized what had happened.

Everything seemed to slow down considerably; she could even see the tips of the thatch gradually becoming clearer.

The lack of paternal love during childhood has triggered the deep-seated Oedipus complex in me now that I am receiving false, so-called paternal love.

broken!

Xia Minghao was quite surprised to see the girl actually blocking his way.

You can't transform, aren't you just courting death?

Without a second thought, Xia Minghao rushed straight to Adi.

Wolf Totem, activate!
