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

Chapter 47 Unforeseen circumstances
Did primitive people cry?

This was the first time Xia Minghao had ever seen this before.

Moreover, once the women started whimpering, it was completely unstoppable.

As Usa and the others finished recounting everything with choked voices, Xia Minghao forcibly suppressed the smile on his lips.

He was actually expelled from the Wu tribe, and now he sincerely wants to join the Xi tribe?!

Um... seeing them crying so sadly, is it really appropriate for me to laugh now?

These are all incredibly talented people!

They were all survival masters with a thorough understanding of this forest, far surpassing the women of the Xi and Wa tribes in this respect.

And the number was just right, fifteen, no more, no less.

This way, there's no need to worry about internal chaos within the Xi tribe, nor will it affect one's leadership position.

But how could these primitive people like Usa understand the complex expression on Xia Minghao's face at this moment?

Seeing his forced smile, I assumed that the chief of the Xi tribe disagreed.

He lowered his head, his heart filled with increasing worry about not being accepted by the Xi tribe.

What will happen to these fifteen women if they really can't be accepted by the Xi tribe?

The thought of a future without light filled them with a sense of despair that became a vast ocean of fate, engulfing every woman of the exiled Wu tribe.

"You can join the Xi tribe."

At that moment, Xia Minghao's voice came, like an invisible hand pulling them ashore.

The women, who had already felt hopeless and fallen into despair, stopped sobbing instantly and looked up at Xia Minghao.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Since things have come to this, let's eat first, together."

Xia Minghao simply smiled faintly and asked Xima to bring over the ceramic bowls, one for each of them.

Because the earthenware bowls were originally intended for women to practice their skills, not only were many fired, but quite a few were successfully made.

Each of them held a ceramic bowl in their hand, and the newly joined women hadn't even had time to react.

Eating together is undoubtedly a great way to help women integrate into the tribe.

The women of the Xi tribe generally have a friendly attitude towards newcomers, and this is even more true of the Wa tribe, as they were also newcomers.

Una was overjoyed, not only because she could be reunited with her mother, but also because she had so many blood relatives of the same clan.

Xia Minghao looked at the scene before him and began to ponder the issue of tribal integration.

There were few new people before, so it wasn't obvious and I hadn't really thought about it much.

But that's different now.

Unity is of paramount importance; otherwise, internal strife is inevitable.

If this internal strife becomes too severe, it could even lead to the collapse of the tribe that they have worked so hard to build up...

Early detection of problems is certainly good, but how should they be solved?

Xia Minghao really didn't have any ideas on how to enhance team cohesion...

Fortunately, the problem isn't serious yet, and we have enough time to come up with a solution.

The women of the Wu tribe were too embarrassed to eat the food directly from the pot; they simply watched from the sidelines.

Although they've nominally joined the Xi tribe, not a single thing in this pot was contributed by them...

Besides, chili peppers?!

Usa and the other women saw several red fruits floating on the soup.

Isn't this the kind of fruit that will burn your mouth and cause stomach pain if you eat it?
Why put it in the pot?

Can this be cooked and eaten?

At this moment, Una came over and began to share her completely different life in the Xi tribe.

Pottery was fired, and various patterns were engraved on the pottery; these were what the chief called writing.

Una remembered every single word very clearly, and even traced them on the ground with a dry twig.

Usa and the other women were too embarrassed to eat the food from the Xi tribe, so they all gathered around to listen to Una's story. After a while, Una remembered something that fascinated her even more.

That was the "home" the chief had mentioned, the one he'd heard from others.

"There was an endless supply of meat, all kinds of meat, and lots of pottery, all kinds of pottery, and lots of patterns."

The more they listened, the more surprised they became, and a hint of longing gradually appeared in their eyes.

This is, of course, the version that Una edited. In fact, what Una heard from the women of the Wa tribe was not the original version either, and what the Wa tribe heard from the women of the Xi tribe was also not the original version.

As for what the original version was, it no longer matters. All that everyone knows is that under the chief's leadership, a world that satisfies them can be created.

"Una, tell me quickly, what else?"

The women listened intently, urging Una to continue.

But Una couldn't imagine anything more, and looked nervously at the pairs of hopeful eyes.

……

……

……

"Wam, tell me quickly, what else?"

Shh, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After dinner, Wamu told her about the countless pottery pieces and the endless stewed meat that the Xi tribe had.

This was what the chief told her to do, the purpose of which was naturally to give some courage to these tribesmen who were not well-liked in the Li tribe.

The courage to escape to the Xi tribe!

But Wamu forgot that Xia Minghao had specifically said that they should wait until the men of the Lizhu tribe left the tribe before discussing it.

By the time she remembered, it wasn't too late, and she immediately stopped saying anything. Those words only circulated among the women of the Wa tribe.

We're just waiting for the men of the Li tribe to leave tomorrow and head to the Xi tribe...

The women of the Wa tribe, who were used to a hard life in the Li tribe, had no idea about these things.

Tonight was the first time they had eaten dried meat cooked in a clay pot, and they were immediately captivated by its deliciousness.

Now, hearing from Wamu, who had returned from the Xi tribe, that the Xi tribe had an endless supply of meat cooked in earthenware pots, he naturally developed a strong longing for it.

Lying back on the stone, the women of the Wa tribe couldn't help but begin to recall Wamu's few words.

Close your eyes and imagine how wonderful life must be in the Xi tribe.

Before sunrise the next day, the men of the Li tribe, led by Liba, were all ready to set off.

Liba was thrilled when he thought about the admiration on the faces of his people when he brought back pottery and so much dried meat yesterday.

That's why I can get up earlier than the sun today.

The other men were also full of energy, only thinking about getting to the Xi tribe as soon as possible and knocking down the tree according to the instructions of the Xi tribe man.

If you knock it down, you can get meat to eat!
The man had just left the cave when Wamu was woken up by the women who hadn't slept well all night.

"Wam, the Xi tribe, what else?"

Wamu was already quite old, and his energy was naturally not as great as that of these younger primitive people.

His dazed eyes looked at his people, and he was about to begin his story when suddenly...

A thunderous boom resounded!
Then a torrential downpour began, washing over every corner of the entire forest!
It's raining!
Soon, the men of the Li tribe who had just left returned to the cave, their faces filled with regret.

My hopes of getting meat at the Xi tribe's place were completely dashed; I can only wait for the rain to stop.

……

……

……

At this moment, in the Xi tribe, Xia Minghao frowned as he watched the hunting team women wading towards the river, their steps uneven.

Not only because today's plans were ruined before the rain stopped, but also because the men from the Li tribe wouldn't be coming.

More importantly, Xia Minghao discovered that the problems caused by the rainy season in this primitive era were far more serious than he had previously imagined...
