The next morning, after Su Bai did his Daily Check In and received his Assistance Package, he got several curtains.
At first he was stunned, unsure what to do with them, but soon started smiling.
“These curtains will be perfect for the newly built houses.” Su Bai said with a smile.
“Shaman, I’m here.” Sha Lan was still getting used to entering without extensive greetings, though she had managed to do so yesterday afternoon.
Su Bai put the curtains aside and asked, “How are the workers doing?”
“To get more dried meat, they’re working very hard. Because they really got dried meat last night, they went to work early this morning.” Sha Lan said with a small smile.
“That’s good. If this continues, we can build more cement houses before the rainy season.” Su Bai said with satisfaction.
“Yes, originally we could only build up seven, but now, we can build dozens.” Sha Lan said with surprise.
Last night she calculated the current house construction speed and the amount of work done over the past two days. She discovered the construction speed had doubled, which truly astonished her.
He had to admire the fact that he had found the right person to act as his right-hand. “If there’s nothing else during the day, go train first. Also, ask Shan Qiu to forge some fish hooks for me.”
“Yes.” Sha Lan nodded, but asked curiously. “Shaman, what are fish hooks?”
The cat eared girl had only recently returned to the Tribe, so naturally she would not know about fishing equipment.
“Just tell him. He knows. Ask him to make the fish hooks larger. The bigger, the better.” Su Bai instructed.
“Alright, I understand.” Sha Lan responded.
“Tell him to make them from the bones of Stone Armoured Crocodiles, I have important uses for them.” Su Bai added.
He thought since the Stone Armoured Crocodile Bones and Hide were very hard, would they not make more durable fish hooks?
The fish hooks from previous Assistance Packages were all used up at their previous location.
Sha Lan seemed surprised. She knew about Stone Armoured Crocodiles. When did the Tribe manage to get one of them?
She was lost in thought until Su Bai’s cough brought her back. “I understand, Shaman.”
The cat eared girl left the wooden house puzzled, still muttering to herself about the Stone Armoured Crocodile.
Since returning to the Tribe, she had stayed with the fox eared girl and cow horned girl, so there were many Tribal matters she did not know about. She knew even less about the Crocodile Blades and the recurve bow. She had meant to ask the cow horned girl about these. But every time Yan Hua was about to explain, she would coincidentally get called away for something. Naturally, even till now, Sha Lan still did not know that the Tribe had started using Stone Armoured Crocodile for weapons.
Sha Lan left the wooden house and walked toward Shan Qiu’s house, meeting Ah’Hua on the way.
She waved and called out, “Ah’Hua, are you going to train?”
Yan Hua looked over, responding to the sound. She saw the cat eared girl and ran over, responding. “En, I’m going to train. Are you free now? Want to go to the training ground with me?”
“I have one small task to complete, then I can go to the training ground with you.” Sha Lan grabbed the cow horned girl, who was about to turn away.
“What else do you need to do? What did the Shaman ask you to do?” Yan Hua curiously asked.
Though the cow horned girl envied the other’s position as Shaman Priestess, it was not because she wanted to be one herself – though she had wanted to be one when she was young.
Right now, what she wanted most was to be a Totem Warrior. She just envied how much time Shaman Priestesses got to spend with the Shaman.
This was what she was envious about, and though she was not sure how she felt about the Shaman, seeing him made her feel joyful and comfortable, in a very special way. Thus, whenever she had free time, she would almost always go eat at Su Bai’s house.
At first, before they moved back to the Tribal Ancestral Land, she did not go as frequently. But after returning to the Tribal Ancestral Land, her visits to Su Bai’s house notably increased, even when she did not eat every meal there.
Still, she would at least go there for one meal each daily, sometimes two. She kept telling herself it was because the Shaman’s food tasted better – yes, that was it.
“The Shaman asked me to tell Uncle Shan Qiu to make some fish hooks.” Sha Lan said.
“Fish hooks? The Shaman wants to make fish hooks?” Yan Hua’s red eyes widened.
Sha Lan brushed her long blue hair and curiously asked, “Ah’Hua, do you know what fish hooks are?”
The Shaman had not explained it to her. However, seeing that the cow horned girl knew what they were, she was eager to find out.
“Of course I know! They’re for fishing. They allow us to pull fish out of water. It’s really amazing,” Yan Hua started daydreaming as she spoke.
Last time they had talked about letting her fish independently, but it had never happened. Until now, she had never fished by herself.
This made the cow horned girl more curious and anxious. They already would not let her join the Hunting Team, and now, she could not even fish alone. She felt a bit dejected.
Not being allowed to hunt was one thing, since not everyone could join the Hunting Team. This was a rule of the Tribe. Warrior Trainees who could join the Hunting Team had to be carefully selected.
The selection of Warrior Trainees had not happened yet. Previously at the Tribal Ancestral Land, they would select several from the Warrior Trainees to join the Hunting Team.
However, after the Black Snake Tribe’s attack, when they escaped to their previous location, this rule was temporarily suspended due to the reduced numbers.
Now that they were back at the Tribal Ancestral Land, this rule would certainly continue. It was just that the timing had not been set yet. Still, the Hunting Team that had left recently still has yet to select any Warrior Trainees to bring along.
The cow horned girl had never gotten to go. So, she was desperately waiting in her heart.
“Is it really that amazing?” Sha Lan also started imaging of a particular scene and continued asking. “What about the Stone Armoured Crocodile?”
“The Stone Armoured Crocodiles was shot by Uncle Cang Shi under the Shaman’s orders.” Yan Hua answered without hesitation.
“Shot? You mean with the longbow?” Sha Lan had started training with the longbow these past two days.
“No, longbows can’t pierce their hide, but recurve bows can. Uncle Cang Shi used a recurve bow.” Yan Hua explained.
The cow horned girl also wanted her own recurve bow. That weapon’s power was incomparable.
Sha Lan nodded thoughtfully and softly said, “So that’s how it is. I was wondering how the Tribe got a Stone Armoured Crocodile.”
“Crocodile Blades are made from Stone Armoured Crocodile Hide, and they are incredibly powerful.” Yan Hua’s red eyes were full of desire.
