Su Bai, Flame Flower, Flame Horn, Blacktooth, and a totem warrior were heading towards the lake in the forest.
Blacktooth was leading the way, a totem warrior was following behind, and Flame Horn was with Su Bai and Flame Flower, guarding them the whole time.
"Kacha kacha…"
The five of them hurried on, and no one spoke. There was only the sound of the stone knife cutting through the branches.
Su Bai broke the silence." Chief, did you find any plants to make linen?" he asked.”
"No, I haven't."? Flame Horn shook his head and said helplessly," Many stalks are hard when torn apart. They break with a little force.”
"Don't worry, it's not that easy to find the plants that make linen.”Su Bai comforted her. He suddenly thought of the hemp tribe and wondered what kind of plant they used.
"Do you know what plants are around the Yema tribe? There are a large number of them."
Flame Horn frowned and pondered for a moment before shaking his head."I don't know. I've never been to the Yema tribe.”
"Is the Yema tribe far from us?" Su Bai asked with a frown. If he couldn't find the plant to make linen, he would have to start from the hemp tribe.
He could find out what plants the Yema tribe sent into the tribe, or what plants were planted in large quantities in the surrounding area. After eliminating them, he could find the plants that could be used to make linen.
"It's quite far. I heard from my father that it seems to take more than ten days to walk.”Flame Horn said in a deep voice.
"By the way, how many people are there in a large tribe?”Su Bai hadn't known about the big tribes.
"At least 10,000." Flame Horn said with a solemn expression.
"So many people?" Yan Hua was the first to exclaim. Her red eyes widened. This was also the first time she understood the number of people in a large tribe.
"..." Su Bai fell silent. There were only 72 people in the Fire Dragon Tribe; the difference was too great.
"Shaman, we'll catch up sooner or later.”Flame Horn consoled. Seeing Su Bai's low face, he thought he had hit him hard.
"Of course, we will become a large tribe sooner or later.”Su Bai said with certainty.
He had been thinking about how to increase the population just now. If he relied on the children in the tribe, he was afraid that by the time he died of old age, there might not be 10,000 people.
"As long as we have linen, we can definitely become a large tribe.”Flame Horn said passionately.
He thought of the time when he was the chief of the Fire Dragon Tribe. The Fire Dragon Tribe had become a big tribe, and they could face their ancestors with a smile after they died.
"It's not that easy."
" There are too few people in our tribe," Su Bai said as if he was pouring cold water on them." It will take decades to become a big tribe."”
He couldn't wait that long. It was better to let him live in a primitive society for decades. No matter what, there had to be some changes. For example, there had to be improvements in food, accommodation, and clothing.
"I'll let everyone have more children when I get back.”Flame Horn made his decision with a straight face.
"Don't. No matter how many children you give birth to, you won't be able to give birth to many.”
Su Bai was amused. He shook his head: "Our tribe has too few members. We can only bring in some people from the outside.”
"What? Find outsiders to join our tribe?"
"Will outsiders listen to us?" Flame Horn was stunned.”
"With the totem around, why won't it listen to us?”Su Bai asked in amusement.
"That's right, I almost forgot about the totem.”Flame Horn said in realization.
Su Bai saw that Flame Horn didn't dislike outsiders, so he asked curiously: "You don't reject outsiders?"
"I don't reject it. My ancestor joined the Flame Dragon Tribe later.”
Flame Horn touched the red horn on his head and started talking about some secrets of the tribe."Mutants like me and Blacktooth, our ancestors joined the Fire Dragon Tribe later.”
"So we weren't from the Flame Dragon Tribe in the first place.”Yan Hua said in surprise. This was also the first time she had heard her father talk about her ancestor.
"Mutant?" Su Bai asked in confusion. He finally found out the origin of the beast-eared girl.
"Eh? Doesn't Wu know about mutants?" Flame Horn asked in surprise.
"I don't know. There are no mutants where I came from.”Su Bai sighed. He had always wished that there were beast-eared girls on Earth.
However, his wish had come true now. There was a bull-horned girl beside him and a fox-eared girl in the tribe.
"Shaman, you must be from some big tribe that only welcomes purebloods.”
There was a trace of bitterness on Yan Jiao's face. His red eyes contained reminiscence as he said,"I heard from my deceased father that some large tribes do not welcome mutants. "Our ancestors were chased away by some large tribes. In the end, the Flame Dragon Tribe kindly took in our ancestors, and then we were born.”
Su Bai didn't explain his background. Instead, he asked curiously: "Do some tribes not welcome mutants now?”
"Some tribes have changed. Some tribes welcome mutants.”Flame Horn had a smile on his face.
"Chief, do you know where the mutants come from?”Su Bai said softly.
From the chief's words, he could tell that some tribes did not welcome mutants.
"I don't know about that. Father didn't tell me either.”Flame Horn shook his head.
"Alright then." Su Bai sighed. The clue to the origin of the mutants was broken.
This was the result of having no written memory and only relying on oral language to pass it down to future generations. When a certain generation of people did not want to talk about it, or changed some of their personal thoughts and experiences, the future generations would receive the modified version.
"Wu, don't you dislike mutants like us?”Flame Horn asked carefully.
After he guessed that the shaman was from a purebred tribe, he became worried. He was afraid that he would hate the mutants of the Fire Dragon Tribe.
"..." Yan Hua became nervous as well. She observed Su Bai's face with her red eyes.
"Huh? Why should I reject mutants?"
Su Bai was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at the bull-horned girl and said gently: "I think mutants are cute and interesting.”
"..." Yan Hua's eyes met Su Bai's glance. Her cheeks blushed and she turned away in embarrassment.
"Hahaha…as long as you don't reject it.”Yan Jiao laughed heartily and secretly raised his eyebrows at his daughter, as if saying, Daughter, your chance is here.
When Yan Hua saw her father's small actions, her face turned even redder. Her heart beat even faster, as if it was carrying a small deer.
