“What’s wrong with her?” Su Bai looked at Yu Ying, who was sticking her bottom up. Just now, Yan Hua had rushed into the Teepee, then peeked out through the door flap. She even occasionally giggled.
“Uh…” Yu Ying’s mouth twitched as she covered her face in embarrassment and poked Yan Hua.
“Xiao Yu, come quick and see, my Father is beating up Uncle Cang Shi,” Yan Hua waved her hand without turning her head.
“Sister Ah’Hua…” Yu Ying called out weakly, feeling a bit embarrassed for her friend. Sticking her bottom up in front of the Shaman, did she not care about her image at all?
“Wait. It’s just getting to the good part,” Yan Hua excitedly said.
“It’s fine, just ignore her,” Su Bai shook his head with a smile.
Hearing the commotion outside the Teepee, he guessed Yan Jiao and others were demonstrating the ‘heroic posture’ of Totem Warriors to the Tribe’s children, to inspire them to aspire to become Totem Warriors.
Yu Ying, not looking at the embarrassing Yan Hua, asked softly, “Shaman, do you want to take a bath?”
“Sure. It would be nice to relax with a bath,” Su Bai nodded, remembering that the newly built bathing area had not been used yet.
Yu Ying quickly went to the grass bed and pulled out an animal hide garment, the one she had made last night.
She handed it over, timidly saying, “Shaman, this is the animal hide garment I made.”
“That’s perfect, I didn’t have any clothes to change into,” Su Bai said gently, reaching out to take the garment. He could now change out of his current clothes.
“Shall I make another one for you, Shaman?” Yu Ying asked hopefully.
“Sure, we can use linen thread to sew the one after,” Su Bai would not refuse a girl’s kindness.
“En,” Yu Ying nodded repeatedly, already planning what kind of animal hide to use.
*Hee hee hee…* Yan Hua held her stomach, laughing as she pulled her head back in from the door flap. She turned around to see Su Bai and Yu Ying staring at her blankly.
She asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing,” Su Bai said with smiles in his eyes. He brushed it off as he walked past Yan Hua and lifted the door flap to leave the Teepee.
Yan Hua turned her head and asked in a low voice, “Xiao Yu, what’s wrong with the Shaman?”
“Well… you were just sticking your bottom out, wiggling it at us,” Yu Ying said with a slightly red face, describing Yan Hua’s unconscious behaviour.
“Eeeeeh!!!???” Yan Hua’s face immediately turned red, feeling a bit dizzy. She had made such an embarrassing pose in front of the Shaman.
She looked at Yu Ying dejectedly, saying, “Xiao Yu, you didn’t even remind me.”
“I poked you twice, but you didn’t respond,” Yu Ying said, pouting.
“Don’t just poke me. Why didn’t you pat me instead?” Yan Hua complained weakly.
Yu Ying did not know what to do with her friend, so she changed the subject, “You should go get ready. Aren’t you sleeping here tonight?”
“Oh, right.” Yan Hua thought of her Father’s angry face and decided to really stay here for tonight.
She poked her head out through the door flap and saw her Father and Cang Shi talking to the Shaman. Realising this was her chance, she tiptoed out of the Teepee to get her animal hide clothes from her own Teepee.
“…” Su Bai caught sight of Yan Hua sneaking out of the Main Teepee from the corner of his eye, looking just like a thief.
“Shaman, should we go get more Ramie tomorrow?” Yan Jiao asked in a hoarse voice.
Su Bai looked at Yan Jiao’s swollen left eye and Cang Shi’s pair of panda eyes beside him, cheeks completely swollen.
Su Bai held back his laughter as he glanced at the pile of Ramie that had grown to the size of a small mountain. This was all brought back by the six Totem Warriors today. Each must have carried at least two hundred kilograms.
“First, look for Ramie in the nearby forests. The amount we have now is enough for three days,” Su Bai said, nodding slightly.
“Alright,” Yan Jiao’s eye twitched, but he endured the pain without showing weakness. He was trying his hardest to maintain his image.
“I’ll go take a bath now,” Su Bai turned around and immediately burst into a silent laughter.
He arrived at the men’s bathing area, which was currently empty as everyone was busy tearing Ramie. Thus, no one had come to bathe.
“It’s so dark…” Su Bai pushed open the bathing area door. It was pitch black inside with no lighting, so he could only bathe in the dark.
He put down his animal hide clothes and was about to go out to fetch water when he found Mai Mao waiting outside with a wooden bucket of water.
“Shaman, my Father told me to bring you this water,” Mai Mao said, the corner of his mouth slightly swollen.
“Put it down,” Su Bai nodded and asked curiously, “How did you hurt that corner of your lip?”
“I accidentally bumped into something…” Mai Mao said with his expression a bit unnatural.
“Alright,” Su Bai nodded, pretending he had not heard Mai Mao’s screams from inside the Teepee.
Mai Mao silently bowed and ran off.
“I feel for him, having a Father like that…” Su Bai commented, closing the door and started bathing.
*Splash splash…*
“The water is so cold…” Su Bai poured water over his head and shivered all over. He started scratching his hair, finding it coarse and not smooth.
He sighed and helplessly complained, “No shampoo, no body wash. It’s so hard to wash my hair…”
*Splash splash…*
Su Bai used an animal hide towel to scrub the dirt and grime off his body. He then rinsed it off with water, completing the achievement of bathing in a primitive society in another world.
After putting on his new animal hide clothes, he felt quite good. There was no feeling of fur pricking his skin.
Su Bai walked across the open area and saw everyone concentrating on tearing Ramie by the fire. Having heard that Ramie was related to whether they could fill their stomachs, everyone in the Tribe was extremely focused.
He quietly walked back to the Teepee and saw Yu Ying concentrating on wiping the Fruit Knife. She had not even noticed he had come in.
Su Bai put his clothes aside, ready to start learning Shaman Technique in preparation for the Spotted Deer Market six days later.
