I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village-Chapter 402: Coco’s Decision
The River Crocodile King, which was as huge as a hippopotamus, was placed on the shore, with the wounds still bleeding profusely, especially the one on its belly.
Five or six piranhas were still biting into the wound, having jumped onto it the instant it was brought ashore.
At this moment, the piranhas were vigorously flapping their tails. Their saw-toothed mouths firmly clamped onto the River Crocodile King’s belly, refusing to let go.
Ye Jiu casually knocked them away and asked. "Shaman, do you want to completely skin it?"
Last time when she was at the Hunting Ground, she hunted a gigantic green snake and completely skinned it.
"Not yet. To ensure the freshness of the meat, let’s just take it back to the Tribe and eat it tonight." Su Bai shook his head and said.
At this moment, it was important to maintain the freshness of the meat. After all, it was raining, and if they skinned it right away, the meat would be directly exposed to the air, and the moisture.
"Understood.” Ye Jiu nodded.
Su Bai looked at the river again and said, "You guys can continue fishing. I’m going to head back first."
He planned to prepare for matters after the rainy season, as half of the rainy season had already passed.
The remaining ten-plus days were not particularly long or short. However, everything still needed to be arranged in advance. The most important thing was the construction of houses. Although there were already more than ten cement houses, it was far from enough. Before the snow season arrived, two-thirds of the houses in the entire Tribe needed to be replaced with cement houses!
Only cement houses could truly provide warmth and withstand attacks from Ferocious Beasts and other unexpected events.
Although wooden houses were better than Teepees, they naturally could not be compared to houses made of stone and cement.
After arranging for the cement houses, they would need to set up the roads that connected them together. They could not have cement houses everywhere with muddy dirt paths between them.
"Alright," Yan Hua and the others nodded, planning to catch a few more fish before returning to the Tribe.
*Step step step…* Su Bai held an umbrella, followed by the fox eared girl and the blonde girl, as they began walking back toward the Tribe.
After more than half an hour, they returned to the cement house and changed out of their rain-soaked clothes.
Su Bai took a sip of hot tea and then went to his workstation to contemplate over the upcoming things that needed to be done.
The snow season was expected to arrive in a little over a month, so they needed to consider the issue of keeping warm. Besides these concerns, there was also the matter of food.
He had visited the sheep pen a couple of days ago and had discovered that the sheep and cattle brought back from the Hunting Ground had already started to give birth! By the time the snow season arrives, there would likely be another wave of births.
[Because so many of the cattle and sheep brought back are female, we should be able to maintain different birthing cycles for a period of time…] He took out paper and began drawing designs for carts. Such a large Tribe certainly could not be properly managed without carts.
Relying solely on two legs for walking would take a considerable amount of time, and if they had to carry things, just how long would it take for them to transport goods from one place to another? Not mentioning the Warriors, with the number of regular people here, how much time was being wasted on trips just to carry goods from one place to another?
If at this time, they had horse carts or ox carts, the speed of travel and work efficiency would greatly improve.
"Shaman, what are you drawing?" Yu Ying asked. Previously, she would sew linen clothes in the corner, but now, she sat across from Su Bai as she sewed.
It was not that her status had risen; rather, the two of them were getting along better. Or more like, she was no longer as timid as before, terrified of making mistakes – which made her want to hide away.
Now, she was much more cheerful and calm. She was no longer afraid of the Shaman like a street rat. She had really become a lot more confident.
As she became more familiar with him, she always had a smile on her face, completely different from before.
Even her two friends were surprised to see this drastic change in her. They wondered how the once timid girl had become so lively.
Of course, completely transforming into another person was not possible. She still sometimes showed signs of concern.
"I’m drawing a means of transportation," Su Bai replied without looking up.
In Primitive Tribes, this should be considered the first official means of transportation.
With carts, everything would become much more convenient, and perhaps they could even use carts to visit other Tribes.
Of course, these carts might only be popular in the Tribe for a while. Once discovered by other Tribes, they would likely all begin to imitate them.
However, Su Bai’s secret weapons were not limited to just this. He had even bigger plans in mind.
"Transportation? What is transportation?"
"You’ll know when the time comes. It will be useful for the Tribe’s development." Su Bai did not want to explain. After all, Co Co was still nearby, and although she had lost her memory, it was unknown which Tribe she came from, and what kind of person she was.
If she learned some of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s secrets, it would not be beneficial for the Tribe’s development.
Although it might not be fatally harmful to the Flame Dragon Tribe, it would diminish their uniqueness.
What Su Bai wanted was uniqueness. That meant things that other Tribes did not have and could not develop. However, they were things the Flame Dragon Tribe possessed and could make more of.
This would attract more people to the Flame Dragon Tribe, which would greatly benefit the Tribe’s development.
No one knew what kind of people would be attracted by their booming industry. If talented individuals could be attracted, that would be ideal. Even if they could not attract talents, attracting labour would also be good. What the Flame Dragon Tribe needed most now was labour.
With sufficient labour, building cement houses for the entire Tribe before the snow season arrives would not be a problem.
However, this matter was for the long run, not now.
"Alright, then I won’t disturb you, Shaman." Yu Ying lowered her head and continued sewing linen clothes.

Coco squatted down, suddenly looking serious, and asked, "Shaman, can I stay in the Tribe?"
Co Co had been thinking about this for many days. Although she had lost her memory and did not know where she came from, during her time living in the Flame Dragon Tribe, she had gradually grown to like this Tribe.
Whether she could recall her lost memories or not was not important to her anymore. If she could stay and live in this Tribe, starting a new life here would not be a bad choice either way.
Moreover, the Tribe had too many fascinating things she wanted to explore. Every night as she lay in bed, she pondered over numerous questions.
[Why is this thing made this way? Why is that thing done that way? How exactly is this made? And how did they create that?]
All of these things fascinated her, sometimes keeping her awake until four or five in the morning.
