Chapter 174 The Most Popular Female in the Tribe
Seeing this, Kamu hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you need me to light another fire? I'll go get some wood."
Nan Qiao waved her hand: "No need, the sand is still warm, this will be fine."
Time passed slowly. About half an hour later, Nan Qiao squatted down and used a wooden stick to gently dig out the sweet potatoes buried in the sand one by one.
The sweet potatoes were baked until they were black and warm.
Nan Qiao blew gently on the sweet potato, trying to cool it down quickly, and broke it into two halves. The inside of the sweet potato was golden and attractive, exuding a sweet aroma.
She handed half of it to Kamu: "Here, try this."
"Can this be eaten?" Kamu took it hesitantly, his eyes full of curiosity.
Nan Qiao nodded and said, "Try it, it's delicious."
Kamu took the sweet potato, lowered his head and took a bite, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's sweet, it's so delicious!"
He looked at Nan Qiao with surprise and joy, "Sir, can I share the remaining sweet potatoes with the chief and his men?"
Nan Qiao kept one in his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, I roasted it for you guys to eat."
Kamu excitedly held the sweet potato in his hands and ran towards the leader Agula, shouting as he ran, "Chief, the Chosen One has baked something delicious, come and try it!"
When Chief Agula heard Kamu's cry, he walked over with some confusion.
Kamu handed the sweet potato to him. Agula looked at the black sweet potato with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but seeing Kamu's excited look, he took it and took a bite.
The sweet taste spread in his mouth, and Agula's eyes widened. "This is amazing! I've never tasted anything so delicious and sweet."
The surrounding tribesmen saw the leader's reaction and gathered around.
An elderly tribesman took the sweet potato, gently bit off a piece, chewed it carefully, and exclaimed in admiration: "Lord Chosen One, you are like a messenger of God, always able to bring us surprises."
“This food makes you feel warm all over.”
"I've only ever eaten sweet fruit, but I didn't expect this thing to be sweet when baked."
The young females laughed and scrambled for it, each wanting to quickly taste this new delicacy.
Some of them were so excited that they jumped up and down. They took a big bite of the roasted sweet potato, and the corners of their mouths were covered with black sweet potato residue, but they smiled brightly.
Night fell over the Stone Tribe, the embers of the campfire flickering faintly in the night breeze. Chief Agula walked steadily toward Nan Qiao's resting place. Nan Qiao was sitting by his weed bed, sorting the medicinal herbs he had found that day in the moonlight.
"Lord Chosen One." Leader Agula called softly.
Nan Qiao raised her head and looked at him with a smile: "Chief, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Agula frowned slightly and asked with a hint of anticipation: "Sir, the sweet potatoes you roasted today are so delicious. Can you take us to look for those sweet potatoes tomorrow?"
Nan Qiao nodded without hesitation: "Of course. There are still many sweet potatoes in the valley."
"Tomorrow, the males of the tribe will build stone houses in the tribe. The females will go out with me to find food and then come back to cook for the males."
The leader asked worriedly, "Don't you need a male to come along? There might be wild beasts in the valley, and it's not safe."
Nan Qiao smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Chief. I'm here and no one will get hurt."
The leader remembered what Kamu had said about Nan Qiao killing a brutal blood-fanged wolf alone, so he nodded and said, "Well, sir, I'll leave everything to you."
After the leader left, Nan Qiao, who had been busy all day, felt exhausted.
She performed a cleansing technique, and the dirt on her body disappeared instantly, making her feel much more refreshed.
Then she lay down on the weed bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the sun shone on the Stone Tribe.
The males in the tribe began to prepare tools for building stone houses, while the females happily surrounded Nan Qiao and prepared to head to the valley.
"Lord Chosen One, you are so beautiful." On the road, a young female looked at Nan Qiao with envy in her eyes, "Your skin is so white, smooth and tender, even more beautiful than Wulan."
Nan Qiao asked curiously, "Who is Wulan?"
The female replied, "She is the most popular female in our tribe, but she hasn't chosen a male partner yet. She has been wavering between Kamu and another male named Bater."
Nan Qiao asked in confusion, "I feel like I haven't seen them in the two days since I came to the tribe."
Another female chimed in, "They and a few other males went to the Big Tree Tribe next door to exchange for goods. It took several days to go back and forth."
"Barter is Gru's brother, and he has a hot temper. I think Gru seems to be very hostile to you. You'd better be careful when Barter comes back." A female kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, no matter how hot-tempered Bater is, I have a way to deal with him." Nan Qiao said with a smile.
At this time, another female said with a smile: "The Chosen One is the most beautiful female in our tribe. She is definitely more popular than Wulan. She will be so angry when she comes back."
"That's right," the other females echoed. "She's always hanging around in front of the males in our tribe, showing off her abilities. It's really annoying to watch."
"Last time, when Bater's team came back from hunting a porcupine, Wulanfei said she had contributed and deliberately took a large piece of the meat. I was so angry."
……
As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the valley.
Nan Qiao pointed to a patch of lush sweet potato vines and said, "The sweet potatoes are right under these vines. Let's start digging."
The females took out simple knives made of stones, squatted down and started digging sweet potatoes.
A female was digging laboriously while she sighed, "I never thought that one day we females would go out to look for food. In the past, it was always the males who went out."
The female next to him smiled and said, "It is the Chosen One who has given us females the ability to find food on our own. We are truly grateful to you."
"Yes, my Lord is like a god sent to save our tribe," another female echoed.
Nan Qiao also squatted down, gently pushed aside the sweet potato vines with the stone knife in his hand, and then carefully dug out the sweet potatoes: "Everyone, be careful, don't damage the sweet potatoes."
An older female was very skilled. She smiled and said to the younger females, "I know how to dig without damaging it. Look at me. I dig like this, slowly digging the soil from the side."
As she spoke, the stone knife in her hand moved quickly, and soon, a whole sweet potato was dug out.
Nan Qiao nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's it."
The older female smiled sheepishly, "I just learned how to do it by watching you do it."
