I am a Primitive Man

Chapter 356: Releasing her braids

Chapter 356: Releasing her braids

This makes it even more imperative not to go forward!

Anxiously protecting his wife, Han Cheng tightly held Bai Xue's hand, not letting her move recklessly. This silly girl, why is she so careless? Doesn't she know where it's safe to stay and where it's dangerous to go?

This little bride is still too young to understand the importance of preserving her life. It seems she still needs more guidance and education.

Han Cheng couldn't help but feel helpless as he thought like this, deeply feeling how difficult it was to be the head of a household.

"Brother Cheng... ??!"

Bai Xue anxiously shouted, seeing the conflict about to erupt, and Han Cheng kept pulling her back, too preoccupied to explain too much to him. In the first half of her sentence, she still used Mandarin to call Han Cheng "Big Brother," but in the second half, she turned to the Fire Tribe and shouted in their language.

Worried that she would be blocked by the people in front holding shields and spears, the Fire Tribe people saw her.

Bai Xue is kind-hearted, unwilling to see conflicts between two tribes, and even less willing to see casualties on her side. So, at this critical moment, she overcame her fear, stepped forward, and communicated with the people of her original tribe in their language.

Seeing Bai Xue's reaction, Han Cheng's heart sank, and his expression became unpleasant.

Was she so eager to leave him and return to her original tribe?

Couldn't he even hold her back?

After such a long time of careful companionship and care, it turned out that it still couldn't compare to that tribe that wanted to burn her alive.

When people care, they always involuntarily think of the worst or associate it with what they were worried about before. Han Cheng was like this now, to the point that even someone usually quite clever like him didn't perceive the truth of the situation.

Seeing Bai Xue still struggling and shouting towards the opposite side as if she couldn't wait to return to the embrace of the Fire Tribe, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he let go of her hand.

Deep down, he was still a modern person. In such matters, he couldn't adopt the fierce style of the primitives. If he had followed the primitive style, Bai Xue would have been knocked unconscious and dragged away with a stick...

Bai Xue didn't expect her big brother Cheng to let go, and caught off guard, she almost fell to the ground.

She glanced back in surprise, her face showing a puzzled and uncertain expression. She did not understand why Brother Cheng had done this.

Feeling something different vaguely, she didn't go forward but instead shouted towards the Fire Tribe while moving back towards Han Cheng, returning to his side.

In contrast, the Fire Tribe people were no longer as angry as before. Most of them looked puzzled, continuously sizing up Bai Xue.

With her strange hair, unique clothing like that of the Water Tribe, no black ash on her body, and a very pale face, she didn't look like the tribesman who had been taken away and fell ill.

But how could she speak their tribe's language?

"??..."

After scrutinizing Bai Xue for a while, the Fire Tribe chief voiced his doubts.

For a moment, Bai Xue didn't know how to prove that she was herself, anxiously spinning in place.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she untied her hair tie and let her braids loose, messing them up with her hands.

Then, she picked up some mud from the ground and smeared it on her face.

"53?~"

Pointing to her face, she shouted.

Seeing Bai Xue return to his side after noticing his unpleasant expression, Han Cheng gradually calmed down.

He carefully analyzed everything that had happened: the Fire Tribe chief's joy at receiving and discarding the medicine, his sudden change in attitude, and Bai Xue's reaction from initially being somewhat fearful of her long-time tribe to suddenly having a drastically different attitude.

Gradually, Han Cheng began to guess the truth behind the situation.

This wasn't a particularly complex matter, and after careful analysis, Han Cheng didn't find it difficult to guess the true nature of the situation.

Seeing Bai Xue untie her hair and dirty her face made him even more certain of his suspicions.

Still not calm enough.

Han Cheng thought with a wry smile, lightly tapping his forehead.

He reached out and gently pulled Bai Xue's hand up again, feeling guilty and indulgent as he lightly patted her head with his other hand.

Bai Xue turned her head and smiled at Han Cheng. She brushed her teeth every day with willow twigs, making her face appear particularly white against the dirt.

With messy hair and a dirty face, the people of the Fire Tribe finally recognized the person who had gained some weight compared to before as the sick tribesman from their tribe!

This sick tribesman, who would have been burned in their tribe, had survived all this time!

And she seemed even healthier than when she lived in their tribe.

This...

This...

This was truly a miracle!

The Fire Tribe chief, unable to believe it, stared blankly for a while, then suddenly dropped the weapon in his hand and hurriedly picked up the small bundle of Chai Hu that had rolled into the grass.

After sporadically shaking off the dust and grass from it, he held it tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.

It turned out that the tribe from the water hadn't deceived them. This thing, not lacking around their tribe, could cure that terrible disease!

Why hadn't their tribe discovered it when it was so close by?

Realizing it was a misunderstanding, all the people from the Fire Tribe put down their weapons, turned their anger into joy, and looked at Han Cheng and the others with gratitude.

Shang and the others from the Green Sparrow Tribe looked at Han Cheng, asking what to do next.

They also felt a little unhappy that the tribe had been ready to fight without understanding the situation.

After all, to tell the Fire Tribe about this medicine, they had to travel for five days.

Han Cheng waved his hand, telling them to put down their weapons.

It was best to avoid bloodshed whenever possible, especially in such meaningless conflicts.

Looking at the enthusiastic Fire Tribe chief before him, Han Cheng couldn't help but wryly smile. Dealing with primitive people wasn't easy. A misunderstanding could easily lead to a fight.

But this straightforward way of dealing with things, where everything was laid out in the open, was much easier to deal with than the hidden daggers of later generations.

Because of the misunderstanding that had just occurred, Han Cheng and the people from the Green Sparrow Tribe didn't want to stay there any longer. After telling the Fire Tribe chief how to use Chai Hu, Han Cheng prepared to take Bai Xue and the others back.

However, the Fire Tribe chief stopped them.

He felt a little guilty about the misunderstanding that had just occurred, and on the other hand, it had been a long time since their tribe had encountered another tribe.

Since the last time this tribe from the water left, several women have become pregnant, indicating that their tribe will increase in population after some time.

The Fire Tribe chief didn't want to miss out on people with such efficient and precise planting methods...
