However, Yu Ji quickly composed himself and said, "The words will never disappear, and Wu Qing will always exist."
Shen Nong was slightly taken aback, but after a moment's thought, she understood what Yu Ji meant.
He was neither a native of the primitive beast world nor a true priest. Writing was commonplace to him, and he didn't find it particularly special.
But in a time and space where writing was not yet mature, it was also a kind of faith.
Shen Nong thought that once the issues with the cannibals and the salt tribe were resolved and the tribe could be completely settled, he would teach the tribe members to read.
Especially the little babies, none of them can be spared.
After leaving Quanfeng and the others, Yuji remembered what Queshui had told him about the seaside tribe.
He's been so busy with things at the Wushan tribe these past few days that he's completely forgotten about it.
After hearing Yu Ji's account, Shen Nong had an idea.
Previously, his energy was limited, and he couldn't reach too far. Moreover, he wasn't very familiar with the Feather Tribe, making implementation quite troublesome.
Now that they have a system of android warriors to assist them, and the Feather Tribe can be trusted, it's worth a try.
"It's nothing. If the coastal tribes want fishing nets and baskets, we can just trade with them."
Besides fishing nets, the boats built by the Wood Tribe can also be traded.
Shen Nong looked at Yu Ji with a smile, "It's just that your tribe's orc warriors have had a hard time transporting the goods."
Yu Ji waved his hand, "If it weren't for the trade with your Wood Tribe, we would still be starving, and we wouldn't have any soft animal hides to use."
Now, every orc in the Feather Tribe has at least one piece of fine animal hide from the Wood Tribe, and hunting teams like Eagle Cliff have even more.
However, no one has as many as Eagle Cliff; it is said that he has hidden almost half of the cave's worth of animal hides.
...
As darkness fell, Quanfeng led his hunting party of orcs through the forest for a long time, collecting all the flowers they thought were beautiful.
The dark blue memorial tablet was surrounded by a sea of flowers. The people of the Wushan tribe now all knew about the memorial tablet, and there were many flowers and people in the cave.
Those who couldn't stand still crowded at the cave entrance, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks to try and see the memorial tablets inside.
The firelight wasn't bright enough, the surroundings were too dark, and there were too many people, so we couldn't see anything at all.
In the end, it was Quanfeng who drove them back, and the cave returned to quiet.
Yang Wu stared at the spirit tablet without moving. Knowing that Quan Feng was behind him, he asked, "What should we do with the Wushan tribe from now on?"
Quanfeng did not answer immediately, but stood in front of the memorial tablet for a long time. Yangwu did not urge him, but just waited.
Then Yangwu heard footsteps; it was Quanfeng leaving the cave. "I'm going to find Yuji."
As soon as Quanfeng arrived outside Yuji's cave, he heard the orc guarding the entrance say, "Chief Quanfeng, the priest has been waiting for you for a long time. Come in quickly."
Inside the cave, Yu Ji and Ying Xi were sitting on animal skins. Yu Ji was drawing crooked lines on the ground with a twig, and Ying Xi was watching intently.
However, after Yu Ji finishes making a few strokes, he will sweep them up with a twig and then start over.
There was a spot on the side with neatly drawn lines. Yu Ji hadn't moved. Quan Feng looked at it upside down and it seemed familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized it was the character "山" (mountain) on the Wu Qing spirit tablet.
"Practicing calligraphy?"
Yu Ji nodded. "Yes, please sit down."
Quanfeng sat on the animal skin in front of the stone table, watching the spot where the branch in Yuji's hand touched the ground. His gaze followed Yuji's movements. "You knew I was coming?"
“I know.” Yu Ji quickly swept the words on the ground with a twig, then rewrote them. “Isn’t it just that they want the Wushan tribe to join the Yu tribe?”
Quanfeng nodded, his heart pounding a little, worried that Yuji and Yingxi wouldn't agree. After all, they had given up an opportunity before because of Muqi's appearance.
"Hmm, do you agree?"
“If you join another tribe, the Wushan tribe will cease to exist. You only came to see me today, so you must have thought this through carefully.” Yu Ji didn’t look up, focusing on writing her words. “Since that’s the case, then Quan Feng, before answering you, I want to ask you a question.”
"Go ahead and ask."
"In the future, do you want the people of the Wushan tribe to live well, or just to survive?"
Quanfeng didn't quite understand what Yuji meant by that question. "Aren't they all the same?"
Yu Ji still didn't look up. He just shook his head slightly and replied, "It's different. Living well means eating your fill every day, with meat three times a day. We don't live in caves, but in something called an earthen house, where two people share one, unlike caves where many people are crammed together."
Moreover, it's especially warm in winter, as it has a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) inside that can generate heat during the winter.
There's also something called clothes that you can wear; they're both beautiful and warm.
If you're bleeding from an injury, don't just cover it with dirt to stop the bleeding. There are better ways to treat it, and many orcs will recover. If you're feeling unwell, drink very bitter water, but you'll feel better after drinking it.
There's much more, too much to say. But if it's just about surviving, I can tell you in one sentence: Just don't starve to death, just don't freeze to death.
Yu Ji asked again, "Quan Feng, which one do you want to choose?"
Perhaps Yu Ji's words about "living well" were too good to be true, something even Quan Feng couldn't quite imagine. As if bewitched, he blurted out without thinking, "I want the people of the tribe to live well."
It's not just about being alive.
After receiving Quanfeng's reply, Yuji stopped what he was doing, looked at him, and said seriously, "If you want the people of Wushan Tribe to live well, you should think about how to join the Mu Tribe, not the Yu Tribe."
Wood tribe?
After thinking for a moment, Quanfeng remembered that Baoqiu, who had come to Wushan Tribe to trade before, was from the Mu Tribe.
"The person who saved you is the priest of the Wood Tribe. He will return to the Wood Tribe tomorrow." After saying that, Yu Ji buried his head in practicing calligraphy again. "But you'd better go tomorrow morning and don't go to the cave to look for him tonight."
Just as Quanfeng had finished processing the fact that the exceptionally powerful person was the priest of the Wood Tribe, Yu Ji's words puzzled him further. "Why? The moon isn't particularly high right now, so he probably isn't asleep."
Eagle Creek replied to Dog Wind before Feather Silence, succinctly stating, "You will be thrown out by his partner."
Chapter 68
android warriors
The moon shone coldly, and all was silent. It was late at night, and outside the Feather Tribe, apart from the moonlight, only the fire used to scare away wild animals still shone.
The cave where Shen Nong was located emitted golden light from the inside out, resembling the Milky Way in the sky.
Ze had always known that their priests could conjure things out of thin air, but he was never curious or concerned, as long as it didn't harm the priests.
However, what the priest took out today gave him an unprecedented urge to throw it away.
Inside the cave, besides Shen Nong and Ze, there were three tall and handsome adult men standing there.
Shen Nong likes beautiful things. Although the android warrior she redeemed cannot have its appearance customized, there are hundreds or even thousands of faces to choose from in the database.
However, Shen Nong was too lazy to choose, so she directly let the system select the three most handsome ones.
Although the system wailed that it would be dragged into a dark room by the main system if it was discovered, it didn't hesitate to act decisively when it came to making the exchange.
The android warriors chosen for Shen Nong were all selected based on data comparison to ensure they were the most attractive.
Looking at the three android warriors standing in front of her, Shen Nong felt that the system's aesthetic sense was not bad.
There is also research on androids in interstellar space, but the technology is clearly immature compared to those in the system store.
Out of curiosity, Shen Nong stared at the three android warriors for quite some time.
It wasn't until a strong arm encircled her waist that she came to her senses and asked, "What are you doing?"
Seeing that the priest's gaze had finally fallen on him again, Ze's lips curled up slightly, his previous annoyance vanished, and he said directly, "I want the priest to look at me."
Shen Nong, who came from an advanced interstellar era, was caught off guard by Ze's honesty and even felt a little embarrassed.
He looked away, pointing at the three android warriors, and quickly changed the subject, "Do you have any questions about them now?"
After all, in the past, he would only take some food or candy, such insignificant little things, and he wouldn't say anything unless asked.
But this time it was a complete transformation of a living person, and Ze watched the whole process and even participated in it.
However, Shen Nong would not talk about the system; he would find a more suitable reason for the beast world to persuade Ze.
Ze replied decisively, "Yes."
Just as Shen Nong was about to give her reason, Ze grabbed her chin with one hand, and their eyes met.
Ze frowned, wrapped his other arm tightly around Shen Nong, and asked his question, "Could the priests please not get too close to them?"
Shen Nong thought Ze would ask some questions about his sudden transformation into a human, but she didn't expect him to ask such a... strange question.
He asked in surprise, "What?"
Ze couldn't explain what was going on, so he could only tell Shen Nong his true feelings, "When the priest looks at me, my heart pounds. When the priest looks at them, my heart stops beating, and I keep thinking about throwing them out... I want the priest to only look at me..."
Shen Nong couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Then what about Hu Xiao and Bao Qiu? You want to throw them out too?"
Ze shook his head, his gaze falling on the three android warriors, and said seriously, "The way the priest looks at them is the same way he looks at me, so I want to throw them out."
Shen Nong was taken aback, her eyes looking the same?
That's impossible. He didn't have any romantic feelings for those three androids; he just thought they were good-looking and wanted to take a second look.
Wait, she's good-looking...
Shen Nong finally understood what Ze meant by "the same eyes". He would feel happy and pleased when he saw something beautiful.
"What if I don't agree?" Shen Nong teased, looking at Ze with amusement, waiting for his answer.
Ze's brows furrowed more and more, and his gaze toward the three android warriors turned fierce and menacing.
But when he looked at Shen Nong, his gaze softened involuntarily. "I will listen to the priest."
Despite saying that, Ze still couldn't help but use his body to block Shen Nong's view. After Shen Nong glanced at him, he moved back.
Shen Nong was amused by Ze's reaction and couldn't help but raise her hand, gently poking Ze's lips with the index fingers of both hands, and then lifting them upwards.
Ze, who had been serious, was taken aback by Shen Nong's action and stood there dumbfounded. Seeing Shen Nong smiling happily, he lowered his head slightly, looked at her, and let her poke and prod him.
Shen Nong sensed Ze's movement and her smile deepened. Ze was momentarily captivated by her bright smile, as if tempted, and couldn't help but lower his head a little further.
He was brought back to his senses by a resistance when the tip of his nose almost touched his soft skin.
Shen Nong had changed her hands to cup Ze's face, just to make it easier to push him away forcefully.
Ze was incredibly energetic, seemingly tireless. They needed to travel back to the Mu tribe tomorrow, and Shen Nong didn't have the energy to play around with Ze. He pushed Ze away slightly with a little force.
He then put the three android warriors into the system warehouse for later use, and would figure out a way to get through the situation after daybreak.
