[R18] (Quickly wear it) Baby, you are with the wrong person – Chapter 361 of “(Quick Wear) Baby, You Are with the Wrong Person” [English]

☆, Ancient Era 12

It was common in this era for tribes to trade food for people.Although population was important to every tribe, in times of famine this trade was necessary in exchange for precious food.

It is often the large tribes that exchange for population, because the food of small tribes cannot feed too many people, and sometimes they do not need so much labor.The big tribes are different. In addition to hunting, they also plant, pick, and even weave. These labors require a large number of people.

In the human trade, women are more precious than men. Although men are strong laborers, women represent reproduction, so a woman can usually exchange for five large clay buckets of food, but a man is only worth half of a woman.

And this time Yuan Fangbu’s request was so generous that it was staggering – they were willing to use fifty clay buckets of food in exchange for a woman.Yes, fifty, ten times the price, any Wushan person would be stunned when hearing this.So Tu Yu hurriedly came to Yao Ji and said, “I think the clan leader wants to replace you.”

“But,” Yao Ji was surprised and suspicious, “Why would Yuan Fangbu want to replace me?” Fifty pottery buckets of food were too much.

The women were chattering and couldn’t explain the reason, but one of them swallowed and vomited: “Maybe… maybe it’s because of the beast tide.” Seeing everyone turning to look at her, she seemed more and more embarrassed, “I, I heard my men say that when a few men went to Yuanfang to change their skins, they… said something about Yao in front of the Yuanfang people.”

The tribes here do not have all contact with each other. Instead, they hold trading events similar to fairs from time to time for tribesmen in need to exchange food or animal skins.Because the Yuanfang tribe was the largest tribe in the surrounding area, the trading location was set at Yuanfang.

Yao Ji suddenly realized that those men must have told her about her ability to drive the beasts when they were bragging. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.The Yuanfang tribe occupies a large area and has a large population. Once it encounters a beast tide, the losses will be unmatched by Wu Shan. Therefore, they started to think of Yao Ji.

In fact, it is not that Yao Ji has not considered the danger. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. It is just that she is more worried about being jealous in the tribe, and she did not expect that the crisis will come from the outside.That clan leader Fang Kang was not Yao Ji’s malicious attempt to speculate on who he was. Fang Kang…maybe really agreed to replace her.

But she is Mu Sheng’s woman. If she wants to trade her for food, she must at least inform Mu Sheng.Besides, given Mu Sheng’s status in the tribe, if he disagrees, Fang Kang can’t force him.However, Yao Ji couldn’t help but wonder, would Mu Sheng… choose her?

Fifty pots of food, which is almost equal to the Wushan tribe’s ration for half a year. As long as she is handed over, the tribe will have food and clothing for the next six months. The men no longer need to risk their lives going deep into the jungle to hunt, and the women do not have to work all day long or even faint from exhaustion.If it were Mu Sheng himself who was to be replaced, he would definitely agree without hesitation.

That man loved his tribe so much that he would sacrifice his life for it.If it was half a month ago, Yao Ji thought she would have been replaced, but now… She took a deep breath, and she was willing to believe Mu Sheng.

But the question is, if Mu Sheng doesn’t agree, will the others be willing?She is Mu Sheng’s woman, and that’s all. Except for Mu Sheng, everyone in the tribe has nothing to do with her.Is an unrelated person more important, or is the food on which we depend more important?If Mu Sheng insists on choosing she, will he be hostile to his tribe?

Unable to sit still and wait for death, Yao Ji pressed Tu Yu’s hand and said, “I’ll go find Shao Qi.”

Since Mu Sheng and Shao Qi are equally powerful, whenever one of them goes out hunting, the other will probably stay in the village to guard.It can be said that it was extremely difficult for Yao Ji to be captured by the two of them.As expected by Yao Ji, Shao Qi was indeed at home. After hearing what she said about the matter, the man looked a little strange: “Why did you think of coming to me?”

“Because I believe you understand,” the woman said calmly, with even a slight smile on her lips, “long-term interests are far more important than immediate temptation.”

By exchanging Yao Ji, you can indeed get a lot of food, but similarly, the next time the beast tide comes, Wu Shanbu will lose a big killer.

Shao Qi laughed, he is indeed very handsome, no wonder the girls in the tribe like him, Yao Ji couldn’t help but think, he clapped his hands and stood up: “You are indeed very different, don’t worry, I’m going to see my father.”

Because Shao Qi had grown up, he did not live with Fang Kang. The two of them stepped out of the stone house, only to find that the house located in the center of the tribe, used for worshiping and receiving guests, was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.The people from Yuan Fang’s tribe and Fang Kang were in the room. When they saw Yao Ji and Shao Qi coming, everyone scrambled to get out of the way. A man lowered his voice and said, “Mu Sheng is inside.”

Yao Ji’s heart tightened, it seemed that he already knew.She did not go in, but stood by the door and looked at the man in the room.There was even fresh animal blood splattered on the man’s bare chest. He was holding the stone spear with one hand, and his chest was panting rapidly. It was obvious that he had rushed over just after getting the news.

“She is my woman.” He turned his back to Yao Ji, so she couldn’t see the expression on his face. She didn’t know whether he was frowning or pursed his lips. He just said seriously and firmly, “she is my woman.”

So, no matter what it is, he will not replace she.

“We can add ten more pots of food.” Someone from Yuan Fang suddenly said.

The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. Sixty pottery buckets, that’s sixty pottery buckets!Fang Kang’s lips moved, and he seemed to want to say something, but Mu Sheng remained silent, but that silence was undoubtedly his answer.

“Mu Sheng,” Fang Kang said, “you are the candidate for clan leader.” Between tribes and women, do we have to choose women?

“Twenty more barrels.”

The discussion in the crowd became more and more noisy, and eyes kept looking back and forth on Yao Ji’s body.Yao Ji felt that her palms were full of sweat. She didn’t expect Yuan Fangbu to be so determined. The eighty pottery buckets of food would even be enough for Wu Shanbu to eat for a year.This huge temptation is undoubtedly pushing her into the abyss, and Fang Kang’s almost coercive persuasion has made the atmosphere stagnant to the extreme.

Her heart beat faster and faster, and her breathing became more and more difficult. She looked at the man, almost out of breath, and looked at him, how he would choose.

Mu Sheng’s response was to turn around and hold Yao Ji’s hand in front of everyone.

After a long time, Yao Ji recalled the scene at that time. What was she thinking at that time?Yes, this is the man, she thought to herself, it was not the guidance of the reincarnation destiny book, or anything else, she decided that this was the man.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, and a voice suddenly sounded: “Yao saved us from the beast tide. Not only did we not thank her, but we also betrayed her?”

“Yes,” another person echoed, “Yao is our tribe, how can we replace her!”

More and more voices followed, some were loud, some were weak, and all were full of enthusiasm——

“Yao is a good person, and she wants to teach us how to weave fishing nets.”

“Now is not the time for famine. Food is everywhere in the forest.”

“We can’t change Yao, keep Yao!”

“Stay!”, “Stay!”, “Stay!”…

“Abba,” Shao Qi, who fell silent after triggering this emotional appeal, slowly spoke, “since the clan members have said so, you see…”

Fang Kang lowered his eyes and nodded: “Everyone is right. We don’t want the food, but Yao can stay.”

Everyone cheered, and although the envoys from the Yuanfang tribe were unwilling to accept it, they could only leave in anger.

That the matter could be resolved satisfactorily was beyond Yao Ji’s expectation. She was very grateful to Shao Qi, who was the first to speak up, and to the tribesmen who were willing to speak for her.Perhaps their choice is also related to the abundant food in Wushan tribe now, but this undoubtedly shows that they really regard Yao Ji as a member of the tribe.

It’s just Fang Kang… After the night of the beast wave, Yao Ji vaguely felt that Fang Kang’s attitude towards her was a bit unkind. This incident made her more convinced that her idea was not an illusion, but why?After all, before this, although Fang Kang had not spoken a few words to her, there was no hostility.

She didn’t know that Shao Qi also noticed something strange about his father.”Abba,” Shao Qi advised when the father and son were alone, “the terms offered by Yuan Fangbu are indeed very generous, but wouldn’t it be better if Yao is left behind so that the tribe can survive the subsequent beast wave safely?”

Fang Kang’s face had turned cold since the crowd dispersed. When he heard his son persuade him like this, he was furious: “You think I don’t understand this? The reason why I did this is not for you! That woman,” he gasped angrily, “she is Mu Sheng’s woman!”

“Since the last beast wave, that woman’s popularity in the tribe has become higher and higher. It would be fine if she was just an ordinary woman, but she is Mu Sheng’s woman.” Fang Kang’s voice was full of chills. “Don’t you realize that because of her, Mu Sheng’s supporters have surpassed you?”

Only then did Shao Qi understand his father’s intention: “Abba,” he said hesitantly, “are you doing it because of the clan leader dispute between Mu Sheng and me…” But if Yao is replaced, it will undoubtedly damage the interests of the tribe. “Abba, I don’t need you to do this, even if Yao is Mu Sheng’s woman, she…”

“Shut up!” Fang Kang interrupted him roughly, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’re attracted to that woman. I can’t tell what you’re thinking about?”

Shao Qi’s face turned red all of a sudden. He realized that his father’s behavior was really strange. He was indeed competing with Mu Sheng for the position of patriarch, but neither he nor Mu Sheng were very committed to it. But in his words, why did his father reveal that he must win the position of patriarch?Father, seems to be afraid…

“Abba,” he had to stand up, “No matter what you think, the competition between Mu Sheng and I is between us. I would rather lose in the end than do this.” He said no more, turned around and went out, leaving Fang Kang sitting in the dark room, wondering what he was thinking.
