Chapter 180 Lazy Ulan
Bater left calmly and unwillingly, and the chief and elders also left one after another after seeing that nothing was wrong.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Nan Qiao looked at Kamu, who had stayed where he was. There was a hint of concern in her eyes. She carefully examined the wound on Kamu's face and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Kamu raised his head slightly, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied nonchalantly: "They are all minor injuries. Compared with the injuries I got while hunting, they are nothing."
Nan Qiao frowned slightly, the doubts in her heart did not dissipate. She continued to ask: "Even the leader and the elders think that Bater did nothing wrong."
"They only punished Bater symbolically in order not to make me angry. But why were you so angry and fought with him?"
Kamu's eyes instantly became serious and fiery. He looked at Nan Qiao deeply, his gaze firm and respectful. "Lord Chosen One, in my heart, you are the one who brings hope and change to the tribe."
"You brought us food, so that everyone could earn something from their work. You suggested repairing the stone house, so that everyone could be protected from the wind and rain. You should not be offended and despised in this way."
Kamu paused, his tone more resolute, "Also, I don't agree with some of the traditional concepts about males and females in the tribe."
"Not all females like males who only show off their strength, and a person's value should not be measured solely by strength."
"The establishment of a partnership should not be initiated by unilateral courtship from the male, but should be based on mutual respect, understanding and mutual consent."
"Bater's actions today are an indulgence of this misconception. I cannot tolerate his reckless behavior. Even if the chief and elders have their own considerations, I have my own justice."
"I am willing to use my strength to protect your dignity and lead the tribe towards a better future."
Nan Qiao felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Kamu's words. She saw sincerity and determination in Kamu's eyes.
Nan Qiao nodded slightly, a hint of approval in her eyes: "You are right. If Bater's target today was not me, with his strength, any female in the tribe would have no choice but to accept it."
"Kamu, you are completely different from other males in the tribe. You have your own unique thinking and awareness."
When Kamu heard Nanqiao's praise, his cheeks flushed slightly, but his eyes were filled with joy and excitement: "You are also very different from other females in the tribe."
The two chatted for a while, and before they knew it, night fell and it was time for dinner, so Nan Qiao went to help.
Chief Agula carefully took the fire and skillfully lit the bonfire.
In an instant, warm flames shot up into the sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
When Wulan saw the jumping flames, his eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement.
She paced happily around the campfire, like a curious child who had discovered a new toy.
However, she just played around and showed no intention of helping with the preparation of the tribe's dinner, which secretly annoyed the females who were busy boiling water and cutting meat.
Wulan watched everyone busying around, filled with confusion. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? What's that stone on the fire? And why are you cutting up the meat? It's so troublesome. Just eat it."
A female heard Wulan's question and rolled her eyes. She replied unhappily, "Raw meat is awful. It's not as delicious as broth or vegetables."
Another female also agreed: "That's right, there are also roasted sweet potatoes today, just thinking about it makes my mouth water."
Wulan looked bewildered, thinking to himself: I was only away for a few days, why can't I understand what the females in the tribe are saying?
A sense of unease welled up in her heart. Could it be...
Wu Lan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who taught you all this?"
The female answered without hesitation: "Who else could it be? Of course it's the Chosen One."
When Wulan heard that it was Nanqiao who taught everyone this, the flame of jealousy in his heart suddenly ignited.
It’s this woman again!
Why does this woman always have to interfere in the affairs of the tribe?
But when she saw Nan Qiao and other females coming back after washing the bird egg shells, she quickly hid her jealous expression and put on a smile.
Seeing Wulan still standing there idly, the other females couldn't help but start to grumble, "Some people just hang around here. We're so busy, but she's just sitting there waiting to get something ready."
"That's right. You really think you're a princess of the tribe and don't do any work."
Wulan knew that these females were always jealous of her beauty and charm in front of males, so she never argued with them.
In Wulan's opinion, it is meaningless to quarrel with these females. It is better to act coquettishly in front of the males, which will bring more benefits.
So she just pretended not to understand the mocking words, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes drifted towards a few males who were sorting their prey not far away.
When Nan Qiao heard everyone's complaints about Wulan, she just shook her head slightly without saying a word. She put the washed bird egg shells aside and began to direct the preparations for dinner in an orderly manner.
Let Ulan relax for a few more days. If the tribe wants to develop, she will definitely consult the leader about reforms. If Ulan is still lazy by then, she will starve to death.
Wulan stared at the broth boiling in the pot. The rich aroma of meat penetrated into her nostrils, constantly teasing her taste buds and making her swallow her saliva involuntarily.
Her heart was filled with curiosity and desire. In her past memory, she had never had the experience of cooking meat in this way, and she had no idea how delicious the meat would be after being stewed in the fire and pot.
At this time, the sweet potatoes had been cooked by the fire, and several females dug them out of the ashes neatly.
In an instant, the sweet aroma was like a lively elf, happily jumping and spreading in the air. Wulan felt that this smell was more charming than the aroma of meat, and it made people unable to stop.
Just then her stomach growled, as if urging her to eat quickly.
Wulan didn't care about anything else and asked anxiously, "Give me a piece of sweet potato quickly. I'm so hungry."
However, the females were unmoved. One of them raised her head, a look of dissatisfaction and ridicule in her eyes, and said coldly: "You haven't done anything, why are you in such a hurry?"
"The food is distributed by the Chosen One. First, the leaders and elders are given the food, then the males who have made the greatest contributions in hunting, and then it's the turn of us females who help prepare the food."
"As for those who didn't work, they can only wait until the end to get a share of food."
