Building Infrastructure in the Primitive Era

After ten years in the apocalypse, Qiao Yu died in battle. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated to primitive society.

Her father, Shan, the tribal chief, was bitten by a tige...

Chapter 77: Shock

Seeing Shu smiling at this moment, it seemed that nothing bad had happened. Man and the others kept winking at everyone, and everyone swallowed the questions that were about to come out of their mouths.

With the help of everyone, Shan stood up from the pile of grass next to the fire.

He first looked at Shu, and when Shu winked at him meaningfully, he turned to Shuo.

Shuo's attention was focused on Shan's injury, and he didn't notice the quarrel between the two brothers. He quickly walked over, held Shan's other arm, and asked with concern, "Shan, are you okay? How's your injury? Is everything healed?"

Shan smiled at Shuo and said, "It's okay, I'm not going to die." Then he asked, "Why are you here?"

Shuo looked at Shan carefully and found that although Shan looked pale and thin, he was in good spirits. Only his feet were covered with leaves. It seemed that the tree had not lied. Shan was indeed injured, but not seriously. Otherwise, he would not be sitting here.

"Haha, didn't I hear from Shu that you were injured? Considering the friendship between our two tribes, and our personal relationship, it's only logical that I should come and visit you. So, didn't I just follow Shu here? We'll leave tomorrow and won't cause you too much trouble."

"Thank you very much. What are you talking about? I'm so happy that you're here. Our two tribes are in similar situations, so we should take care of each other and there's no need to differentiate between us." Shan looked very hospitable.

As he said this, he turned to Lu and said, "Lu, you, Shi, Huo and the others lead Shuo and the others to the cave in the south, light the fire, and serve them some broth. Let them have a good rest." He looked like a leader.

He then introduced them to Shuo: "These are the three elders of our tribe. I have difficulty walking, so I asked them to entertain you. After walking in the snow for so long, I believe you must be tired, cold, and hungry. First, warm yourself by the fire and take a rest. After you have rested, we can chat again."

Lu knew that Shan had made this arrangement in order to ask Shu what was going on so that he could take countermeasures. He quickly stood up, warmly greeted Shuo and his group, and led them to a cave in the south.

Shuo and his men had been walking for two days and were freezing cold along the way. They were also hungry. When they heard there was meat soup, they couldn't help but follow the road and didn't care about anything else.

Shuo was nervous as he led the twenty or so men to the Valley Tribe. If Shan got angry and ordered them to be killed, they would surely die. This was a very risky undertaking for him.

Seeing Shan's attitude and the people of the valley tribe also showing warmth and hospitality, he felt relieved and did not dare to do anything to disobey or anger Shan. He obediently followed the road to the cave.

"Wow, look, a big clay pot."

When the people of the Stone Tribe saw the large clay pots used by the Valley Tribe to cook broth, their eyes almost popped out.

They thought the Valley Tribe could only produce the ugly bowls they were bartering for. After all, everyone would trade their best. But what did they see now?

Shuo was also startled and asked, "Why don't you... take this big pottery jar to exchange? I'm sure you can get a lot of salt."

After all, Lu has lived for so many years and knows how to speak.

He said, "Aren't they afraid of the Sun Tribe? What if they see that we can make pottery pots and send people to destroy us?"

Shuo nodded in agreement: "You are doing the right thing, but it is better to be careful."

On the other side, Shan had already been supported by the tree and entered the cave, followed by a group of people who cared about Qiao Yu and the tribe's affairs.

He didn't chase anyone out, but stared at the tree and asked, "Where's Yu? What happened?"

Shu glanced at everyone and asked the people standing outside the cave, "Are there any people from the Stone Tribe outside?"

"No. They all followed the road into the cave in the south." Before the man could say anything, a boy next to him spoke up.

Only then did Shu feel relieved and told Shan and everyone what had happened.

"Is that so?" Shan turned to Man for confirmation.

He knew that Man was smarter than his brother.

"Yes," Man said. "Yu said that instead of being on guard against attacks from the Stone Tribe day and night, it would be better to lure them out and make them act immediately. So she asked us to bring them here. And it's already very risky for our tribe to deal with just the Stone Tribe, so we can't let the Wandering People get involved. So she went to lure away the Wandering People who were following us, so that we could lead Shuo and the others here."

He glanced at the door worriedly and saw that it was crowded with people from his tribe. He added, "Yu said that the Stone Tribe wants to find out about our tribe. We shouldn't hide it and let them see. Of course, don't make it too fake. If it does, it will arouse the Stone Tribe's suspicion, and then we will be in trouble."

Those who did not attend the trade fair felt their scalps tingle when they heard that their tribe was not only targeted by the Stone Tribe, but also by the Nomad Tribe.

"This, this...will we be okay?"

"No, don't worry." Shu glanced at the man and said firmly, "Yu is so smart. Since she asked us to do this, she must have her reasons. She also has a plan to win in her mind, otherwise she would not let me lead the people of the Giant Stone Tribe here."

When everyone heard this and realized that it was indeed the case, they immediately felt relieved.

Shan looked at his younger brother and felt that he had become a completely different person since he went out with Yu. Not only was his mind more flexible, but his determination had also become stronger.

In fact, it's not just the trees; many people in the tribe have changed. At least everyone knows how to use their brains to think things through.

He was relieved and said, "Everyone heard it, right? Just follow Yu's instructions and do what you need to do in the next two days. Don't reveal your true intentions, and don't be too clever and ruin Yu's plan."

He waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone, disperse. Otherwise, the people from the Stone Tribe will come out and see you all crowded here and get suspicious."

Then everyone dispersed.

Shan went out and asked someone to light a bonfire in the open space. He then asked someone to call out Shuo and others, and the people from the two tribes began to dance and party.

Shuo looked at Hei and said to Shan with a smile, "I've always wanted to compete with this warrior from your tribe. Today is a rare opportunity. Why don't I fight him and see who is stronger?"

Shan knew that Shuo was testing the strength of their tribe, so he didn't refuse. He called Hei over and said to him, "Shuo wants to compete with you. You two can have a fight. But brothers fighting each other shouldn't hurt each other. You both should stop when the time is right."

"No problem." Hei's face was immediately filled with excitement when he heard that there was going to be a fight.

He was simple-minded, and the tribe members were afraid that he would reveal his plan, so they did not dare to tell him about the Stone Tribe's evil intentions. Hei thought it was just a simple competition.
