I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 228, A Talk

Translator: Silavin

The next morning, Su Bai slowly opened his black eyes and immediately checked in with the System in his mind.

This was his fifth day of checking in, which meant he had five unclaimed Assistance Packages. If it was not because they had just finished a battle, he would have opened all the Assistance Packages by now.

“Shaman, are you awake?” Yan Hua called from outside the wooden house.

“Come in,” Su Bai said, stretching as he stood up. He had bit brushed his teeth since leaving the Tribe and felt uncomfortable.

*Creak!* Yan Hua pushed open the door and entered, asking, “Are you hungry? Shall I roast some meat for you?”

“Sure. How was the sleep last night?” Su Bai asked. He personally had not slept well himself.

Yan Hua rubbed her red eyes and briefly said, “I went to sleep very late last night.”

Su Bai raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why? Too excited to sleep after returning to the Ancestral Land?”

“No, I was talking with Aunt Sha Hong until very late. She had so many questions…” Yan Hua yawned.

Actually, last night when the cow horned girl got to the exciting parts, she started talking non-stop, and both of them completely forgot how late it was.

“So she doesn’t hold as much hostility towards me now, right?” Su Bai asked with a smile.

“I don’t know about that. I just know she was nodding last night. She didn’t say much about that.” Yan Hua started busying herself by the fire pit.

Su Bai took a sip of water, watching the cow horned girl fussing about. He did not have high hopes for eating unburnt meat.

“Shaman, the Black Snake Tribesmen did not dare to come out this morning.” Yan Jiao said at the door. Sha Hong, Cang Shi, Qing Yan, and others came along with him.

“Chieftain, come in.” Su Bai put down his wooden cup and said, “They must still be afraid.”

“Shaman, what should we do? How should we deal with them?” Yan Jiao asked.

Although he disliked the Black Snake Tribe, those ordinary people were technically innocent. The ones who deserved to die were the Totem Warriors, including the Black Snake Tribe’s original Chieftain.

Su Bai thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “Have them gather together. I have something to say to them.”

He planned to give these people a lecture. After all, they were just ordinary people who only needed a Shaman’s guidance. To him, their past did not matter that much. As long as someone could protect them and keep them from starving, it did not matter who led them.

Moreover, he needed to nevertheless give them a ‘talk’ to brainwash them to start living normally, instead of being timid like they were right now.

“Shaman, isn’t this too dangerous?” Yan Jiao was worried. After all, they were not people from other Tribes. They were from the Black Snake Tribe.

“It’s fine. You’ll all be there, and they’re just ordinary people. They can’t cause much trouble.” Su Bai solemnly said.

Yan Jiao hesitated for a moment before nodding and continuing to ask, “Shaman, what about our people in the Tribe? Should we go back to get them?”

He was referring to the Tribe where the fox eared girl and others were currently staying, with quite a number of people and resources.

“Let Qing Yan, Shu Feng, and others lead a team back. Chieftain, you stay in the Tribe. There are still some things for you to do.” Su Bai glanced at Qing Yan and the others, continuing, “The entire Tribe needs to be thoroughly reorganised.”

“Understood,” Yan Jiao nodded.

Sha Hong stepped forward from behind and said, “Shaman, I need to go bring my Daughter and the other Tribesmen back.”

“Alright, let Ah Ruo go with you. It’s good to have someone else to help on the road.” Su Bai nodded.

“Okay.” Sha Hong nodded and turned to leave the wooden house.

*Thump thump thump…* Su Bai blinked his black eyes and instructed, “Chieftain, go gather the Black Snake Tribesmen now.”

“Yes.” Yan Jiao also turned and left the tent.

“Shaman, what should we do with those Warrior Trainees from the Black Snake Tribe?” Cang Shi asked.

He had been suppressing his temper all night. Otherwise, he would have killed all those Warrior Trainees by now. After all, it was because of the Black Snake Tribe that they had to leave their Ancestral Land for so long, and many of their Tribesmen were lost.

“Keep watching them. First, wear down their will. They’ll obey us obediently in the future.” Su Bai said.

“Wear down their will?” Cang Shi did not quite understand, but still nodded along.

Yan Hua blinked her red eyes and asked, “Shaman, what can those people be used for?”

She believes they would still be loyal to the Black Snake Tribe, so even if they stayed, they would not be of much use.

“You’ll know when the time comes.” Su Bai smiled, then instructed, “Go bring our people from the Tribe over.”

“Yes, Shaman.” Qing Yan nodded and also left the wooden house.

An hour later, Su Bai had finished breakfast, and Yan Jiao told him that the Black Snake Tribesmen had all been gathered.

He left the wooden house with the cow horned girl, walking towards the spacious area in the centre of the Black Snake Tribe.

“Shaman, are you really going?” To be honest, Yan Hua was a bit scared. After all, there were many people in the Black Snake Tribe.

Last night, she heard her Father say that there seemed to be over a thousand people in the Black Snake Tribe. If the Totem Warriors had not died, there would have been over two thousand.

Su Bai walked to the centre of the Black Snake Tribe. At this moment, except for the wooden houses, people were standing in all the empty spaces.

He scanned around and indeed found that there were many people, definitely over a thousand.

Su Bai slowly walked towards a wooden platform that was originally built there.

It was over two metres high and four metres wide, all built with wood. This was where the Shaman of the Black Snake Tribe used to speak.

At this moment, all the people below the platform were staring at the young man who had just walked up. They did not know what he was going to do. On their faces, apart from confusion and fear, no other expression could be seen. Some people were tightly hugging their children, some did not even dare to look at Su Bai.

Su Bai looked at the crowd below, his thoughts racing. [Man… This was my first time facing so many people…]

On Earth, apart from writing novels, he had never had to speak to such a large crowd. In fact, the only time he had seen so many people gathered in one place was probably when taking the graduation photo at university. That was the last time he had seen so many people.

After graduation, he had always stayed at home. He did not go out to find work. Rather, he just read and wrote novels and watched videos each day.

He started in the novel industry he had been dreaming of since high school, staying up late writing drafts every day.

He thought his life would always continue to be like this, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, he was brought here.
