I am a Primitive Man

The wall construction has halted, and the tribe considers the upcoming Happiness Festival a major affair, making concessions for other matters. Under Han Cheng's initiative, ten people are assigned to fish in the small river, utilizing twenty fish traps. As the twenty fish traps are submerged, the quantity of captured fish begins to surge. A multitude of fish is spread out on the open ground by the river, and the number of fish continues to increase.

Several factors drive Han Cheng's arrangement. Firstly, with the arrival of the Happiness Festival and the subsequent increase in population, a substantial amount of food needs to be consumed. Secondly, the visual impact of a large quantity of food is intended to impress those attending the Happiness Festival. Thirdly, he has personal motives.

The success and prosperity of the Green Sparrow Tribe owe much to the fish traps. These small fish traps resolved the food issue, allowing the Green Sparrow Tribe to free up resources for other activities. Compared to other tribes, the Green Sparrow Tribe's biggest advantage is not the wall, the spinning tops, or the bone shovels, but rather an abundance of food.

Han Cheng is aware that constructing fish traps is not overly difficult. However, if other tribes witness the efficient method of obtaining food, they might be inclined to learn and replicate it. This would diminish the advantage maintained by the Green Sparrow Tribe. To counter this, Han Cheng decides to capture a sufficient quantity of fish beforehand and abstain from fishing when representatives from other tribes arrive for the Happiness Festival.

Keeping fish trapping confidential within the Green Sparrow Tribe is relatively easy due to the limited contact between tribes and the lack of a common language. The deer are no longer released and are kept in the deer pen to showcase the tribe's prosperity.

A group also goes to the Salt Mountain with baskets on their backs. After mining salt, they transport it back to the riverbank for salt production, as a significant amount of salt is needed to mass-produce salted fish.

Although the Green Sparrow Tribe hasn't officially informed the other tribes about the joyous event, the confidence displayed by the tribe members, including Shaman and Eldest Senior Brother, suggests they do not doubt the other tribes' compliance with the agreement.

Han Cheng is curious about coordinating such an event in a time without calendars or communication devices. After pondering for a while, he asks Shaman for an explanation.

Upon learning about Han Cheng's inquiry, Shaman was delighted as it had been a while since Han Cheng sought his answers. He leads Han Cheng out of the tribe, and after a short walk, they stop in front of a clump of green grass.

Upon the green grass, flower buds of joyous blooms were growing, waiting to unfurl. As Shaman pointed out the significance of this particular grass, Han Cheng displayed a look of sudden realization, praising the primitive wisdom of the people. This flowering grass, commonly found in the vicinity of these tribes, was crucial due to its early blooming, ensuring that children born during this period would coincide with the abundant autumn season, increasing their chances of survival.

As a result, these tribes agreed to travel to the hosting tribe when this specific grass started to bloom. After each joyous event concluded, the hosting responsibilities would shift to the next tribe. This spontaneous gathering occurred with each blossoming of the joyous grass. After marveling at the primitive wisdom, this grass, regarded as a token, gained a more glamorous name – Joyous Grass.

As preparations for the upcoming joyous event were underway in the Sparrow Tribe, Joyous Flowers began to bloom. These flowers were a faint purple color, small in size, about the size of a fingernail, but emitted a rich and fragrant aroma.

When the purple brilliance of Joyous Grass flowers spread across the area, the Green Sparrow Tribe welcomed the first group of visitors for the year. These visitors were peculiar, not due to their animal skins, but because of their unique decorations.

The Green Sparrow Tribe favored wearing feathers on their heads, a practice understandable as most bird feathers were quite colorful and enhanced their appearance. However, the visitors from the other tribe had a more distinctive adornment – they wore green grass on their heads.

While Han Cheng could understand a few pieces or a small patch of grass, these people had inserted a considerable amount. The leader, in particular, adorned a full head of grass. Initially, catching a glimpse, Han Cheng thought he had encountered an elf with green hair.

In this tribe, the more powerful a person, the more grass they adorned on their heads. Amused by this, Han Cheng later referred to this tribe as the Green Tribe, especially considering the subsequent events.

When the leader of the Green Tribe arrived at the Green Sparrow Tribe's camp with his people, he reacted similarly to the leader of the Pig Tribe initially – puzzled by the transformed appearance of the Green Sparrow Tribe. Only after encountering Eldest Senior Brother did he confirm he was in the right place.

The leader of the Green Tribe shared a deep bond with the Eldest Senior Brother, and their joyful reunion involved a bear hug followed by pressing foreheads together to express their happiness at meeting again.

Curious about the drastically changed appearance of the Sparrow Tribe, the leader of the Green Tribe looked around. His eyes widened as he saw the deer grazing in the deer pen. Pointing at the deer, he exclaimed in surprise, expressing his astonishment.

Before he could recover from the shock of the deer, he noticed a large amount of salted fish brought by the Green Sparrow Tribe members from the riverbank to the courtyard. This left him thoroughly dazed, so when Eldest Senior Brother led him to greet Shaman and Han Cheng, he failed to notice that the tribe had gained a new figure – a higher-ranking Divine Child than Shaman.

Even the other members of the Green Tribe were similarly stunned, staring at the abundance of food before them. They couldn't comprehend why, despite being tribes, there was such a stark difference in their conditions.
