I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 170, The Surprised Spotted Deer Tribe

Su Bai was leaning over a wooden table, drawing ceramic patterns, preparing to design some simpler patterns.

Currently, Ru had no problem making ceramic bowls and jars, so Su Bai let him continue with that.

As for other patterned ceramics, he would draw them first. Once they had made enough ceramic bowls, he would teach Ru to make other designs.

Su Bai was thinking that apart from bowls, jars, plates, and other daily necessities, the most important thing was to make some aesthetically pleasing ceramics.

Of course, these were all future plans. First, they needed to produce items for daily life. The decorative ceramics were not an urgent matter.

“Shaman, it seems lively outside. Judging from the number of days, it’s probably Uncle Mai Mang and the others returning.” Yu Ying paused her work on the linen.

“Seems to be them.” Su Bai also looked up.

Shortly after they finished speaking, Mai Mang and his group were waiting outside the Teepee, and Su Bai let them in.

Mai Mang lifted the door flap and entered, saying, “Shaman, we’ve exchanged everything you instructed us to bring back.”

“Good. What about salt? Is it still very little, as usual?” Su Bai asked in a solemn tone.

“Yes, it’s the same as last time. We did not get much.” Mai Mang’s expression drooped.

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully and softly said, “I see. Is everyone alright? Did anything happen on the way back?”

“Everything’s fine, nothing happened. We even managed to hunt some wild beasts on the way back.” Mai Mang patted his big belly.

“Okay. Then, what about the Chieftain of the Spotted Deer Tribe? Didn’t they want to discuss cooperation last time? Did they come along?” This was what Su Bai cared about the most. [If they did not come, or suddenly changed their minds, things would be a bit difficult. All my earlier plans would need to be completely changed.]

“They came with us and are waiting outside the Tribe.” Mai Mang immediately replied.

“Let their Chieftain come in. I’ll meet them here.” Su Bai solemnly said.

“I’ll go right away.” Mai Mang nodded and turned to leave the Teepee.

*Tap tap tap…*

Mai Mang returned to the edge of the Tribe, preparing to bring the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe to the Shaman’s Teepee.

As soon as he reached the edge of the Tribe, he noticed the atmosphere was different. Originally, the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe were very approachable, but this time he found them to be on high alert.

“You… what’s wrong with all of you? All of you seem so strange.” Mai Mang said, patting his belly.

Lu Shi looked at him and sternly asked, “Is your Shaman going to see us now?”

He still felt something was off. This was far from what he had imagined. Although the people of this Tribe did not seem to have any malicious intent, he could not allow himself to lower his guard.

Still, everyone in the Tribe was chatting and laughing, each busy with their own tasks. They definitely did not look like they would raid other Tribes. Moreover, he had observed carefully and found that the environment of this Tribe was excellent. Although there were no wooden houses, the ground looked very clean, without bones, leaves, or any excrement.

“Yes, follow me. Our Shaman is waiting for you,” Mai Mang nodded in response.

Lu Shi hesitated for a while, then nodded, “Lead us then.”

“Follow me,” Mai Mang led the way.

A few minutes later, the people from the Spotted Deer Tribe arrived outside Su Bai’s Teepee.

“Only two people can enter, the rest must wait outside,” Mai Mang solemnly said.

“Alright,” Lu Shi paused before responding, then turned back to gesture for Lu Lin to enter with him.

After getting Su Bai’s permission, Mai Mang lifted the door flap to let Lu Shi and Lu Lin enter.

At this moment, inside the Teepee, besides Su Bai and Yu Ying, there were four Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees on the side, just in case.

“I am Lu Shi, the Chieftain of the Spotted Deer Tribe.” Lu Shi introduced himself as soon as he entered.

“I am Lu Lin, the Daughter of the Shaman of the Spotted Deer Tribe.” Lu Lin also politely introduced herself.

Su Bai nodded lightly and introduced himself, “I am Su Bai, the Shaman of this Tribe.”

Lu Shi was a bit surprised when he first saw Su Bai. He did not expect the Shaman of this Tribe to be so young, looking only to be in his early twenties. This completely overturned his impression of Shamans. He originally thought all Shamans would be elderly, as those suitable for Shaman Inheritance were usually not that young.

In short, It was the first time he had seen such a young Shaman as Su Bai, and he did not look frail at all, but rather full of vigour.

Lu Lin was also stunned, not expecting the person who came to trade last time to be the Shaman of this Tribe.

Her previous impression of Su Bai was just that he looked clean and handsome, and that he was a Pure Human.

The deer horned girl’s thoughts were a bit chaotic now. After all, this Tribe was not what she had imagined, and then the Shaman of this Tribe turned out to be someone she had met before.

“What Tribe is this? How come we’ve never heard that you could make linen before?” Lu Shi expressed his confusion.

“We are the Flame Dragon Tribe.” Su Bai sat up straight and said.

“Flame Dragon Tribe? But I heard the Flame Dragon Tribe was attacked by the Black Snake Tribe and then… then got wiped out?” Lu Shi said in shock.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes slowly and said word by word, “Being attacked by the Black Snake Tribe is true, but it is impossible for us to be wiped out.”

Lu Shi was surprised by the charisma the other party exuded, which indeed gave him the feeling of a Shaman. He put aside his surprised emotions and asked, “But I’ve never heard that the Flame Dragon Tribe could make linen before?”

When it came to the Flame Dragon Tribe, he did have some impression of it. After all, they went to exchange things at the Spotted Deer Market. They naturally had some interactions with them before.

However, they did not know why they suddenly stopped coming later. They were unaware until they received news that the Tribe had been attacked by the Black Snake Tribe.

“Just because we couldn’t before doesn’t mean we can’t now. The Flame Dragon Tribe is now under my leadership. In the future, there will be more things you don’t know about.” Su Bai said with a faint smile.

At this moment, it was certainly necessary to showcase the uniqueness of the Flame Dragon Tribe to pave the way for future cooperation.

“I have a question. Your Tribe seems to have very few people, but how do you have so much linen?” Lu Shi asked, puzzled.

At first, he wondered if everyone in the Tribe was making linen, which was why there was so much. However, as he walked in from the outskirts of the Tribe, he found that everyone inside was doing their own thing. He did not see any place where linen was being made, which was what confused him the most.

In fact, even when Lu Shi and his group arrived at the outskirts of the Tribe, people had already been instructed to surround the classroom area. Those at the training ground had also stopped training.

“Does it take many people to make linen?” Su Bai asked, deliberately puzzled.

“Doesn’t making linen require a lot of people? If you don’t have many people, how do you produce so many rolls of linen?” Lu Shi asked in surprise.
