I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Qing Yan and Yue were led out of the Main Teepee, still not being able to fully process the fact that the Shaman had been replaced.

“Yan… I mean, Chieftain.” Qing Yan, still not used to Yan Jiao being the Chieftain, continued to ask, “What kind of person is the new Shaman?”

He still wanted to understand how this young new Shaman would lead the Tribe. After all, from his point of view, the other person was really young, only a few years older than Xiao Yu.

“I’ll take you around the Tribe and you’ll see.” Yan Jiao did not want to explain too much. Rather than speaking, it was better to take him to see for himself, which would be more convincing.

“Alright,” Qing Yan also wanted to properly experience this new Tribe.

“But, it’s so dark now, should we rest first?” Yue coldly said from behind. She had walked all day today, and had not slept last night. Now, she just wanted to catch up on sleep first, and deal with everything else after waking up.

Yan Jiao looked up at the pitch-black sky and nodded. “Yeah, it’s already very late. No one is making linen or ceramics right now so you might as well see them tomorrow.”

He had originally wanted to take them to see the production of ceramics and the making of linen.

“Making linen?” Qing Yan’s eyes widened in disbelief, “Are you serious? The Tribe has people who can make linen?”

Making linen was no joke, he had not heard before that anyone in the Tribe could make linen. He was also very curious about ceramics? What were they? Where did they come from?

“I’ll tell you tomorrow, you’ll understand when you see it,” Yan Jiao said.

Without physical objects to show them now, it was hard to explain. It was better to wait until they could see it to explain.

Yue’s slender eyebrows raised, when she was outside the Tribe, she had seen the linen clothes on Yan Hua’s body. It was clear the Chieftain was not lying.

“Alright, where will I rest tonight?” Qing Yan asked.

He thought about finally being able to sleep in a Teepee, and could not help but feel greatly comforted. He no longer needed to stay awake all night to stand guard.

For Qing Yan and Yue, typically, one person would stay up all night to stand guard and only sleep the next day while the other person went hunting. This arrangement only worked thanks to the Warrior Trainees that could also stand guard when they were away or sleeping.

“Yesterday the Shaman told me you would arrive today, so I’ve already had arrangements made/” Yan Jiao said with certainty.

After he received the news, early this morning, he had people hurriedly set up several Teepees.

There were many Ferocious Beasts hunted recently. So, they had plenty Animal Hides to use. Setting up an Animal Hide Teepee was also not that difficult. What was difficult were building wooden houses.

Two of them were for Qing Yan and Yue to live in. The remaining few were for the Warrior Trainees to live in. The rest had to squeeze a bit, with several people sharing one Teepee.

“That’s great!” Qing Yan could not help but happily exclaim.

“Qing Mu, Chi Tu, you two take them to their Teepee to rest. Also, roast some dried meat for them.” Yan Jiao instructed.

Qing Mu and Chi Tu immediately stood straight and said in unison, “Understood.”

Qing Yan and Yue were then taken to their respective Teepees. After eating the roasted meat, they went to sleep, fully content.

…

*Chip chip chip…*

*Ribbit ribbit ribbit…*

Various sounds of birds and beasts kept calling, as the Flame Dragon Tribe welcomed a new day. Sunlight scattered on the Teepees, giving a unique beauty in the early morning light.

Qing Yan was the first to open his eyes. He suddenly sat up straight, possibly a conditioned reflex from long periods in the Wilderness. It made him unable to sleep for too long.

He got up and stretched his body. Sleeping in a Teepee was extremely comfortable. He had not felt this level of comfort and ease for a very long time. Although when he lay down last night, he was still a bit nervous. After all, having slept in the Wilderness for so long, he could not completely relax.

However, the shadows of those on patrol, coming and going outside the Teepee, gradually made him feel at ease.

Qing Yan lifted the Teepee door flap and walked out, muttering to himself. “It still feels good to be in a Tribe.”

“You’re up?” Yue suddenly appeared behind Qing Yan.

Qing Yan was startled for a moment and asked, “Why are you here? How are you up so early too?”

“I’ve been up for a while,” Yue brushed her silver-white long hair and teased, “First day back, and you’ve already let down your guard.”

Qing Yan immediately felt embarrassed and retorted. “It’s not that I’ve let down my guard. You were the one walking without making any sound.”

“Excellent Totem Warriors walk without making a sound.” Yue mercilessly exposed the flaw in his argument.

“I… you…” Qing Yan had indeed let down your guard, and changed the subject, “Shall we go see if the Chieftain is up?”

“He’s been up for a long time, waiting for you.” Yue coldly threw out a sentence and strode towards the direction of the Chieftain’s Teepee.

Qing Yan embarrassedly touched his green horn, muttering to himself, “Didn’t expect to embarrass myself on my first day back.”

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the entrance of Yan Jiao’s Teepee, beginning to wait for him to come out.

“You’re awake?” Yan Jiao stepped out of the Teepee.

“Good morning, Chieftain.” Qing Yan greeted.

Yan Jiao pointed to a fire pit not far in front of the Teepee and said, “Let’s have breakfast first, then I’ll take you to see after we eat.”

“Alright.” Qing Yan was also very hungry.

Yan Jiao led the two of them to sit by the fire pit, and Cang Shi also walked over. He patted his belly and laughed heartily, “Hahaha… I’ll also join you for a meal.”

“Coming to eat my meat again, huh? Bring your own meat.” Yan Jiao waved at Cang Shi in an attempt to shoo him away.

“Don’t be like that. Do I look like I eat much?” Cang Shi smiled.

“You don’t eat much?” Yan Jiao doubted if he had heard correctly. He would have believed anyone else but him.

Cang Shi’s purple eyes stared straight at the meat, urging, “Alright alright, let’s just quickly eat.”

“You really don’t stand on ceremony, do you?” Yan Jiao shook his head helplessly, really at a loss.

Yu Ying carried a wooden bucket and softly greeted them.

“Good morning, Chieftain, Uncle Cang Shi, Uncle Qing Yan, and Sister Yue,” Yu Ying greeted.

This was something the fox eared girl did every morning, which was to water the chilli peppers and sweet potatoes.

“Good morning, Xiao Yu, is the Shaman up?” Cang Shi asked.

“He’s up, I’ve already made Wolf Tail Grass Noodle for him.” Yu Ying responded.

Cang Shi nodded and continued to lower his head to eat his meat, saying, “Yeah, Wolf Tail Grass Noodle made by the Shaman is great.”

“Wolf Tail Grass Noodle? What’s that?” Yue curiously asked.

Yan Jiao turned his head to the person behind him and instructed, “Go prepare two bowls of Wolf Tail Grass Noodle.”

“Yes.” The woman nodded and left.

Yue watched the back of that person leaving, then turned her head and asked. “Chieftain, what is Wolf Tail Grass Noodle?”

“You’ll know in a moment,” Yan Jiao smiled.
