Chapter 54
The day Cha Zhe was discovered by Lu Yu and the others, he told them he came from the Wu Kong tribe because the tribe was attacked by outsiders and fell apart, so he ran away alone.
In fact, this was not entirely a lie. It happened when he was very young, only five or six years old. At that time, he was the youngest son of the Wu Kong tribe Chief. When the tribe was attacked, he was protected by warriors sent by his father, but those warriors, already wounded in battle, along with a child, couldn’t survive well in the land teeming with wild beasts. When the warriors were trampled to death by several ferocious bulls, leaving only Cha Zhe, a hunting team from a large tribe happened to pass by...
Since then, Cha Zhe went from being the cherished son of the Chief to becoming a slave. At the tender age of five or six, he struggled to survive in harsh conditions and experienced the ups and downs of life. Fortunately, Cha Zhe’s father had told him to conceal the fact that his wounds would heal automatically, so until his teens, although Cha Zhe was bought and sold by various tribes, he didn’t attract much attention. Until he was sold to the Guangyi tribe...
Cha Zhe closed his eyes.
What was supposed to be a divine gift of healing became his nightmare.
The people of the Guangyi tribe, in order to test his full abilities, beat him with different weapons, repeating the process over and over again until he healed.
Countless times, Cha Zhe wondered if there was someone who could save him, if there was someone who could lend him a hand...
“Do you want some water?”
That was the first thing that person said to him.
There was no calculation, no dirtiness, and no numbness in his eyes.
For the first time in over a decade, Cha Zhe encountered such a person.
—
Cha Zhe stared firmly at the two figures in the distance.
The tribe Chief named Tai Lie, with so many people of his own kind, could have partnered with anyone, so why did he have to snatch the only one from him!
Cha Zhe trembled all over, feeling suffocated in his chest, as if he was back in that hellish place. He struggled to suppress the emotions that were about to erupt.
He wouldn’t let go easily.
Even if he couldn’t beat Tai Lie now, even if he had to resort to other despicable methods, he would go and snatch that person back.
Hold it tightly in his palm.
Even if his hands will be covered in blood.
—
Due to the excitement and enthusiasm of the Matai people, dinner lasted until late into the night.
Basically, everyone held a piece of meat, took a bite, chatted with the person on their left for a while, then took a sip of water, and chatted with the person on their right for a while.
Although Lu Yu felt that many of the things they were discussing were unnecessary, such as ceremonies and offerings... a grand feast might be worth considering. Lu Yu could put in some effort to cook for everyone to enjoy, but other than that, there wasn’t much need for anything else. However, Lu Yu didn’t interrupt everyone’s enthusiasm.
He could see that everyone was genuinely happy.
Xia Cao even came over and whispered to him, saying that this was probably the happiest day everyone had had in ten years.
One reason was that their respected Chief finally had a partner, and this partner was their beloved Witch. The other reason was that life in the Matai tribe was quite monotonous, consisting of work, hunting, training... and now there was finally a special and grand occasion.
After listening to Xia Cao, Lu Yu also understood.
He found the life here to be fresh and interesting, but it might not necessarily be the case for the Matai people who had lived here for decades.
Lu Yu wondered if he should find some daily entertainment for the Matai people?
For example, he had previously thought about playing basketball. He could build a simple basketball court and teach everyone the rules so they could play.
In addition to basketball, there was also soccer, badminton...
Right!
There was also the cultural essence of the China’s histories.
Mahjong!!
Lu Yu quite liked playing mahjong, but he didn’t gamble. He only played occasionally on his phone during his leisure time. Mahjong, as an entertainment activity, had been popular in China for thousands of years, so there must be a reason for it. It was truly suitable for people of all ages and genders.
In the same room... that room only had one bed, so wouldn’t they have to sleep together... He wasn’t an innocent and naive teenager who knew nothing, but after all, it was their first time, and they had just gotten together. He felt like they should wait a little longer.
Lu Yu blushed and struggled, “Your bed is too small, it’s inconvenient for two people to sleep in it. Or do you want to sleep on the floor?”
Tai Lie frowned, “You are my partner. Why should I sleep on the floor when you’re by my side? And...”
“Well, then we can’t have an agreement. I’m leaving!”
Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Yu turned around and ran away hastily.
—
Lu Yu immersed himself in the small lake, his whole body submerged, leaning against a rock and looking up at the sky.
Surrounded by silence, he finally managed to calm his chaotic mind.
So, he had a boyfriend now...
He had once thought that if he had a wife in the future, he would bring her to his grandfather’s grave to let the old man have a look. Now, it probably wouldn’t happen, and even if he did bring her... his old man probably wouldn’t be able to accept this tall and mighty “daughter-in-law”.
But who knows, Grandpa had always been very tolerant of him. Even if he couldn’t accept it for a while, he would probably come around in the end.
Lu Yu smiled. Tai Lie would probably also strive to gain approval from his family. Just like he had thought, if the Matai people disagreed, he would also try to make them accept it.
Lu Yu scooped up a handful of water, splashed it on his face, rubbed it, wiped it off, picked up the bamboo canister placed aside, poured some bath bean powder into his palm, rubbed it to create foam, and rubbed it on his body.
As he rubbed, he remembered Tai Lie’s suggestion for them to sleep together earlier.
Lu Yu wasn’t conservative about s*x, it’s just that he had only just gotten together with Tai Lie, so talking about this now felt a bit premature. And, most importantly... he had no experience!
How could someone who hadn’t even kissed expect to have any experience in this regard?
Lu Yu couldn’t help but sigh. It’s inconvenient without the internet!
Oh right!
Lu Yu suddenly sat up, remembering a major life matter.
There probably weren’t any “safety helmets” here!!!
The next day.
The aftermath of yesterday had not yet subsided, and Lu Yu finished breakfast under the scorching gazes of the crowd. Just after finishing, a group of Matai people surrounded him.
“Witch, do you prefer red pigs or bulls?”
“Witch, can I make you a beautiful beast skin skirt?”
“Witch, I heard that you can train to make pottery in the training ground? I want to learn to make a pottery for you and the Chief...”
Lu Yu patiently listened to each of them.
After hearing what Xia Cao said yesterday, his thoughts changed too. He had already promised Tai Lie, so if this was a custom of the Matai tribe, it would be better to go along with it.
Lu Yu thought for a moment.
“I prefer bulls.”
“Okay, I will make it beautifully!”
“Sure, come find me when it’s time for food in the evening.”
—
Receiving Lu Yu’s serious response, the Matai people danced with joy.
Just then, a voice came from the lookout tower in a corner of the village.
“Witch! Ah Bu and the others are back!!”
Lu Yu’s eyes lit up.
Ah Bu and the others were the ones sent to the Beast Plain. It had been a while since they left, and he didn’t know what news they brought back.
