Seeing that he wasn't afraid at all, but rather showed a sense of awe, Qing unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems his first reaction wasn't fear; he even saw himself as a fairy. So there's no need to worry about anything else.
“Yong, I am not a fairy. This ability to store things is a gift from the gods. You must not tell anyone, or it will be gone.”
Yong nodded quickly, "Such a good thing must be secretly hidden away."
In the past, he might have asked his partner to hand it over, but as the tribe has grown larger, there have always been a few bad apples, which has worsened the tribe's atmosphere.
Everything was fine at first, but maybe as life got better and better, I started to have more free time to think about useless things.
Some even wanted to seize power and profit; indeed, as long as one is human, there is that restless soul in one's bones.
Now he no longer had the idea of contributing to the tribe; he just wanted to keep the secret and prevent his partner from being in danger.
"Qing, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. With this, we can use it when we travel across the continent, and we won't have to worry about sleeping outdoors."
Qing wasn't worried. This world might be relatively new, but it had plenty of spiritual energy; otherwise, those animals wouldn't have grown to several times their original size.
So her wood-based superpower grew rapidly, and she could build a small wooden house in a minute.
She wasn't worried at all about anyone causing her trouble. Her level nine wood-type ability was no joke, and this ability was tied to her soul.
It will stay with us even into the next century.
Moreover, in a tribe with only a few thousand people, even if she were discovered, she could still break out.
Of course, Qing believed Yong's assurances. After all, they had known each other for over 20 years, how could he not understand?
“Yong, we’ll keep some of this food for ourselves. We need food while traveling across the continent. What if we can’t find anything to eat? This might be a small amount, but we should prepare some just in case. The rest, let our three sons take.”
Qing's two sons were named Leopard and Tiger, respectively, which are very characteristic of the tribe and easy to remember.
After the children were paired up, they moved out to live elsewhere.
Children in the tribe don't have a strong attachment to their elderly mothers and fathers.
Perhaps because they were raised together, when they encountered their biological parents, they would only exchange greetings and rarely eat a meal together.
However, the children in the Qing family are different because they were all raised by Qing and Yong, so they have a better relationship.
Even if they have a very good relationship, they still move out after getting married.
I come to check it out occasionally, but that's all.
Relationships are built through time spent together; the less time you spend together, the weaker the relationship will become.
Just like Qing and her children, she didn't feel embarrassed at all when she went out to play with Yong and left her son behind.
Yong was the one who listened to Qing the most. As soon as he heard this, he wanted to go and call for help, but Qing stopped him. No matter what, he had to eat breakfast first before calling for help.
Besides, they still have to work during the day. These days, it's all collective labor.
Perhaps Li Xue knew about life in the old collective, and that life was pretty much the same now, except that no letter of introduction was needed when going out.
How much work you did each day and how many points you earned would be calculated later when the food was distributed.
Li Xue started making paper more than ten years ago, and even though it was quite rough, it was still very good.
Then, the charcoal is sharpened into a point and used as a pen to record important events in the tribe and to keep score for everyone.
Since they were leaving soon anyway, I figured I might as well not go to work. After all, no matter how much work I did, it wouldn't stop the two of them from leaving.
"Let's talk about it after breakfast. We should also tell the clan chief that we're going on a trip and remember to distribute the chores we used to do among our sons."
The tribe's chieftain has long since been replaced, and those chosen are people with high prestige, so that they can keep the other members of the tribe in check.
After breakfast, Yong went to call his sons, while Qing stayed in the cave to pack up the things he wanted to take with him.
Fewer and fewer people live in caves now. Those who continue to live in caves are mostly older generations, especially the younger generation. None of them want to live in caves anymore.
Qing packed up a few things, including some food, intending to let Yong know he had brought some, so that he would have an excuse to take other things from his space later.
Things like the animal skin skirts they often wore and the quilts they made were all put away after their sons left.
Soon Yong returned with his sons.
Although the sons were quite reluctant to part with him, the people in the tribe were really too indifferent to personal relationships.
The reluctance to part with it is actually quite limited.
Yong divided the food among the children and then helped carry it to their homes.
After everything was moved, I came back and put all the remaining items into my pet ring.
Suddenly, the cave felt empty.
"Yong, have you spoken to the clan leader?"
Yong nodded. "He did, but the clan chief didn't say much more, just told us to be careful."
Qing was not surprised by Yong's answer at all. The tribe doesn't care what you do. Just follow the instructions when you're in the tribe. Once you're outside, who cares about you?
"Let's go now. Take our weapons, and here are the packs we just packed. Each of you carry one and we'll set off."
Yong took the package from Qing and carried it on his own back. He felt that since he was strong, he could carry the things he had planted himself.
As for your partner, just carry a weapon; it can also be used for self-defense.
When the two left the tribe, they greeted everyone they met, so soon after they left, almost everyone in the tribe knew that the two had gone out to travel the continent.
While some people are envious, others feel that after living a good life for too long, they start to cause trouble.
After all, life in the tribe is much better than before, and everyone cherishes it very much.
Qing and Yong want to run away, isn't that just causing trouble?
It can only be said that everyone has different ideas. Qing has lived in the tribe for so many years, and she feels that she should not waste the rest of her time in the tribe.
She should take advantage of the limited time to explore this continent as much as possible, since it is unfamiliar to Qing and this makes her even more eager to investigate.
After Li Xue went to Qinghe Yong again, the thing that had been on her mind was finally resolved.
She said Qing was acting strange, and it seems she was right.
What surprised her most was why Qing wouldn't acknowledge her as his wife.
