Lu Yu tightened his grip on the leaves and lowered his head to wipe away the bloodstains around his waist and abdomen with the leaves. “I’ve taken the medicine, but the injury might be a bit serious, and it hasn’t fully healed.”
Tai Lie suddenly grabbed his arm and said sternly, “What did you say?!”
Lu Yu raised his head, pretending to be indifferent and smiled, “It’s just a small injury—ouch!”
Just as Lu Yu was about to fall into the man’s arms, he stopped himself just in time.
“You’re not Witch? Why can’t you even heal yourself?” Tai Lie’s voice was filled with anger.
Lu Yu, who had always been strong, felt a bit aggrieved for some reason. He pouted, “Witch isn’t almighty...”
He had been careful enough. He didn’t know how he got targeted by the lion. He was also trying to improve his physical fitness, but he didn’t have any innate talent. How could he fight off even a male lion?
He didn’t want to get injured, and he wanted to stay in the village and not go anywhere, but he had to consider improving their strength.
Tai Lie saw the corners of the man’s eyes droop, revealing a expression he had never seen before, and his cold heart felt a bit flustered for a moment.
“Sorry, that’s not what I meant.”
Tai Lie didn’t know how to comfort him, so he softened his voice a bit.
Lu Yu wasn’t that sentimental. His feeling of grievance only lasted for two seconds before it dissipated. “I know, I’ll be more careful in the future. This really is just a minor injury, you don’t need to worry, everything will be fine.”
Tai Lie didn’t say anything, paused for a moment, and reached out to the wound on Lu Yu’s waist, gently wiping away the bloodstains he missed earlier.
Lu Yu’s body trembled.
Tai Lie, as a Chief who was always on the frontline for everything, except for hunting, the daily activities were also extremely strenuous. His fingers inevitably had calluses and were a bit rough.
While Lu Yu had naturally fair and delicate skin, no matter how battered and bruised, it remained tender.
Lu Yu felt like every cell on his skin had been stirred up, and his senses seemed to be magnified tenfold. Every inch of his skin touched by Tai Lie’s fingers seemed to raise tiny particles.
The atmosphere gradually became subtle...
Lu Yu bit his tongue to make himself a bit more awake.
He was afraid he might even hum if he wasn’t awake.
That would be too embarrassing...
Lu Yu pushed away Tai Lie’s hand and stepped back a bit. “I can do it myself.”
He took out clean leaves and clumsily rewrapped his wound. Although it wasn’t serious, he still had to be careful. If it got infected with bacteria, it would be bad.
Tai Lie quietly watched his movements.
Lu Yu finally finished wrapping the wound and breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe he should go to the dream training ground tonight to learn sewing. People still needed clothes...
The subtle atmosphere in the air gradually dissipated as he moved.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, “Um, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out and see that lion.”
Tai Lie nodded without changing his expression. “I’ll accompany you.”
—
Lu Yu walked up to the bald lion on the open ground, not getting too close, just observing.
The lion had no wounds all over its body. It seemed to have just passed out. But when Tai Lie went to the cave, the lion’s breath was weak, as if it had suffered a serious injury and was about to die.
“Tai Lie, do you know what injury it suffered?” Lu Yu asked.
Tai Lie shook his head, “I don’t know.”
“Oh, I see,” Lu Yu rubbed his chin.
Now he had two choices.
One was to kill the lion directly. After all, this lion was a lion king, and there was a high probability of dropping a Grade C battle axe. So far, Tai Lie had given the dropped weapons to other tribesmen. He still used wooden sticks or fought barehanded. This battle axe would be quite suitable for him.
The other option was to use red medicine to save the lion. After all, the matter of eating lion meat to cross time and space still needed to be pondered. If he figured it out, maybe one day, he could return to the modern era...@@@@
Lu Yu turned around.
Shan Pu rushed over quickly.
Lu Yu smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong with your leg?”
The originally well-defined and sturdy calves of the straightforward youth looked somewhat twisted for some reason.
Shan Pu scratched his head awkwardly and said, “I ran a little too fast, it’s nothing, it’ll be fine in a while.”
In fact, he had run at a speed that his body couldn’t bear for a long time just to find Lu Yu.
“Nothing? Your muscles are swollen like that!” Lu Yu was anxious. Did these Matai people consume themselves like this because they couldn’t feel pain?
Lu Yu took out the red medicine and stuffed it into Shan Pu’s mouth without a good temper.
Shan Pu chewed and swallowed it, then grinned foolishly. “Witch, I’m just glad you’re back safely.”
He had been running around all afternoon, fearing that if he was a little late, it would put the Witch in danger. If he really had an accident...
Lu Yu looked at his calf with some concern. Hopefully, the red medicine could heal it. “Why don’t you go rest for a while?”
Shan Pu exclaimed loudly, “No need!”
To prove that he was fine, he jumped a few times energetically.
Lu Yu grabbed him. “That’s enough, that’s enough.”
It might be better to build a basketball court for them to play on in the future. Every Matai person seemed to be capable of aerial acrobatics...
Tai Lie glanced at Lu Yu holding Shan Pu’s arm and said calmly, “Shan Pu.”
“Here!”
“Go and deal with this lion.”
“Okay!” Shan Pu went to the lion’s side, grabbed its leg, and dragged it away.
—
In the evening, Lu Yu made a sumptuous meal.
Making over sixty portions for big eaters was indeed tiring, but fortunately, Matai women helped him with a lot of the basic preparation work.
The Matai people were so happy that Lu Yu had returned safely that they were almost ready to party all night long.
Their idea of fun was dancing around the campfire performing some strange dances.
Lu Yu couldn’t dance, so he was pulled up to awkwardly dance a few times before quickly finding an excuse to sit back down.
In the end, it was Tai Li who spoke with a stern face.
“Alright, go back to sleep.”
In the blink of an eye, the Matai people, who had been dancing wildly, returned to their senses and obediently went back to their wooden huts.
Lu Yu reminded them, “We have training tonight!”
“Yes!”
At the mention of training, the Matai people regained their spirits.
They enjoyed training!
It was so much fun!
Speaking of the training ground, Lu Yu had checked it before. Upgrading the training ground required a certain number of people and a certain amount of time, which were not small figures.
If only the Matai people participated in training at night, it would probably take quite some time to upgrade. The current training programs were helpful for the naturally strong Matai people, but not much. He needed to aim for a more advanced training ground.
It would be better to quickly get the people from the basin into the skills training ground. That’s what Lu Yu thought.
Tomorow, he would go and talk to the people from the basin about this, arrange some training programs, and then solve the matter of planting rice.
Speed up the development of the tribe!
So what if it’s the Iron Age? We’ll catch up!
