Chapter 48
Lu Yu couldn’t help but ask more about the great drift.
His original speculation was that although the exaggeration of the crowd, the great drift could not drift too far, or rather, it was just a violent movement of the plate, lifting the seabed, the seawater receding, revealing land, and there was land connection between other small islands, making it look like two different pieces of land were adjacent.
But hearing what the old man said, it seemed that it really bordered the neighboring island country, after all, the distance between them and that island country could not be explained by the rise of seawater and land.
Seeing Lu Yu’s keen interest, the old man carefully thought for a moment, flipping through all his relevant memories, including every nook and cranny. “Actually, I don’t know much about it. When I was young, I was a slave in that big tribe, and occasionally I heard them talk about it. The land bordering is not actually a complete connection of land, but rather it’s relatively close, allowing for travel by raft and exchange of some goods. Oh right! In addition to what I just said, I heard that those people from the foreign tribes originally couldn’t speak our language, but somehow they learned.”
Suddenly speaking the language?
Lu Yu frowned slightly. It seems that his previous speculation was correct. Someone is spreading the language, not only spreading it on the land of Huanguo but also on other land.
So, besides him, there really are other transmigrators.
A transmigrator who can spread language like this must have a high status. It is very likely that they have established their own tribe, or it is even more mysterious... a Witch!
Lu Yu couldn’t help but think of the Beast Plains and the Witch worshipped by the three major tribes.
Could it be the same person?
If it is the same person, then would there be any connection with the massacre of the Matai?
Lu Yu’s fingers tightened slightly. To be honest, if it really is someone from modern times, or from Huanguo, he doesn’t want to think of others so badly. The idea of eating human flesh and drinking human blood is just too horrifying to contemplate.
“Witch, I only know this much.” The old man felt a little guilty for not being more helpful to the Witch.
Lu Yu waved his hand, “No, no, you’ve told me a lot already.” The information the old man gave him at least gave him some idea.
After chatting for a few more words about daily life, Lu Yu went to see how their fields were doing.
The people in the valley regarded Lu Yu’s words as a guideline, following them carefully, whether it was watering or weeding, there was not the slightest mistake. Lu Yu generously praised the person in charge of farming.
Several men blushed, feeling uncomfortable scratching the back of their necks.
Lu Yu smiled contentedly.
These people are so simple, and the Matai people are also very simple, except... for a certain... bastard.
Although he told himself not to think about it, he still ended up thinking about someone.
Lu Yu pursed his lips, dispersing the shadows in his mind.
After spending half a day in the valley, Lu Yu returned to the Matai at noon.
Shan Pu and the others seemed to have a relatively smooth hunting day today and returned for lunch at noon.
Seeing Lu Yu grilling meat, Shan Pu scratched his head, slowly moved to Lu Yu’s side, and hesitated, “Witch, we didn’t hunt any One-Horned Deer today.”
He had secretly bled yesterday, trying to deceive the Witch and make him drink it, but he was discovered by the Witch.
The expression on the Witch’s face, he still remembered it clearly, first shocked, then there was a glint of moisture in his eyes...
He was scared, panicking, not knowing what to do, thinking that the Witch was disgusted by his blood.
He hastily said, “Le Shui, Xia Cao and the others are also ready to bleed...”
Before he could finish, he was fiercely struck on the head with a wooden shovel by the Witch.
Then the Witch got angry, rattling off a lot of words, didn’t even eat dinner, and left.
Thinking of the fierce appearance of the Witch, Shan Pu still felt lingering fear.
Lu Yu didn’t even look at him, calmly saying, “Oh.”
Unable to get a good face, Shan Pu could only apologize pitifully, “Witch, I was wrong.”
Lu Yu asked, “Where were you wrong?”
Shan Pu choked up, unable to articulate anything.
Lu Yu was on the verge of laughing at him, “So, after all the things I said yesterday, you didn’t listen to any of it?”
At that time, Shan Pu was completely scared by Lu Yu’s furious appearance, and he spoke quickly, so he didn’t...
Lu Yu didn’t bother to lecture him anymore, simply saying, “If you were okay and I suddenly bled for you to drink, saying it would make you stronger, would you agree?”
Shan Pu immediately straightened his back and loudly exclaimed, “Of course not!”
Lu Yu quietly nibbled on his own portion of food, not lifting his head.
Tai Lie walked up to Lu Yu with two fruits in hand, bent down, and placed them neatly on the clean leaves beside him, saying softly, It’s already washed.” After speaking, he didn’t pay attention to Lu Yu’s reaction and turned around to leave.
Lu Yu’s hand paused as he grabbed the food, unable to resist glancing at the fruit.
It turned out to be pears!
Golden-orange, round pears!
They looked very sweet.
Lu Yu couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. In fact, he quite liked sweet things. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made caramelized apples with the apples last time because he found those apples still looked very sour and not sweet enough...
Lu Yu put down the mostly gnawed meat bone, just about to reach out his hand, then abruptly pulled it back.
No, he wouldn’t easily forgive that jerk for forcefully kissing him before their relationship was confirmed.
But wasting food didn’t seem right either. Lu Yu subconsciously ignored it. Actually, he could give the pear to someone else as a way to not waste food.
Lu Yu picked up the sweet pear and took a bite with force.
...So sweet.
Tai Lie smiled very slightly.
Although it was light, it still surprised the people who had been watching him tonight with special admiration.
The Chief, the Chief actually smiled?
In their impression, the Chief had always been a stern and dignified person, and the expression of smiling had never appeared on his face. But now...
What had happened to the Chief??
Because Le Shui was with his wife, Shan Pu was intellectually challenged, the only person in the audience who knew the truth was Xia Cao.
Xia Cao subtly glanced between the Chief and the witch, a smile hanging on her lips, feeling relieved. Originally, these past few days, seeing the gradual estrangement between the Chief and the witch, she was a little worried. But now it seemed that she shouldn’t interfere too much. The Chief and the witch would solve all the problems well.
Lu Yu finished both pears in a few bites, wiping his mouth satisfied with a leaf.
Maybe it was because of the recent physical training on the training ground, his appetite had increased a lot. Just now, he finished gnawing on a meaty bone the size of a forearm, and now he ate two fist-sized pears, feeling not full at all, just right.
After sitting and listening to the Matai people chat enthusiastically about today’s life for a while, feeling like he had digested enough, Lu Yu stood up, ready to take advantage of the fact that it wasn’t completely dark yet to go to his secret little lake for a bath.
After a busy day, feeling sticky and covered in dirt, Lu Yu felt disgusted with himself.
Lu Yu lowered his head and removed the leaves stuck to his animal skin skirt.
Before he took two steps, a pair of large feet and sturdy legs appeared in front of him.
Lu Yu put down his hand and raised his head expressionlessly, “Is there something, Chief?”
Tai Lie asked back, “Where are you going?”
Lu Yu’s tone turned cold, “To freshen up.”
Tai Lie calmly asked, “Can I join you? You’re going to the place you took me to before, right?”
This guy could really say anything!
Before, Lu Yu was trying to build brotherly feelings and intimacy, and now that they had this... kind of relationship, Tai Lie actually wanted to bathe together!
Thinking back to that time when he unabashedly took off his animal skin skirt in front of Tai Lie...
Lu Yu’s neck turned red in an instant. He gritted his teeth, lifted his eyes, and was about to firmly say the word “no,” but suddenly choked.
The sunset’s afterglow sprinkled on the man in front of him, allowing Lu Yu to clearly see a drop of sweat sliding from his sharp jawline, down his neck, across his chest, and all the way down...
Was this a jungle-themed mixed-race male model?!
Lu Yu’s toes curled inward for a moment.
He had only admired this kind of physique before, but now that he understood his feelings, why did it feel off...
Lu Yu: ... Learning tailoring is urgent!
