Chapter 008: Is a Mother a Born Politician

Is it possible that wild men also have emotions

The little wolf also emerged from the cave; it was somewhat fearful of the fire, so it hid in the shadow created by the little wild ox, gazing sorrowfully at the round moon in the sky

Not only is he crying, but his mother is also in tears

Scale the fish, remove the entrails, and skewer the fish on a branch to roast it by the fire.

With an ample supply of food, the mother became very proud

This vast fish pond was discovered by the mother, who provided sufficient food for the clan; thus, at this moment, she held the authority.

Ah—" the patriarch cried out, his voice elongated, indicating that his death was not yet thorough enough

First, the mother ran out of the cave, followed closely by the man. The mother was very worried about Yun Chuan, fearing that he was in danger. As for the man, he was extremely displeased, seemingly blaming Yun Chuan for interrupting his good fortune

However, now that the mother has initiated the coup, she must bear the consequences of the coup

Although Yun Chuan could not understand what his mother was saying, he was still able to grasp her thoughts through her body language

When the aroma of the grilled fish wafted through the air, everyone, including the little wolf, completely forgot the earlier unpleasantness

Seeing his mother roughly snatch the salt bag from the clan leader's waist, Yun Chuan felt quite perplexed. However, observing the clan leader's submissive demeanor, he seemed to understand certain matters.

The patriarch was slung over his shoulder, his head hanging limply, his face covered in blood, with streams of blood even dripping from the tip of his nose and his chin, seemingly dead beyond any doubt

It stands to reason that this is not difficult to guess; to catch fish, one must go to the riverbank. Even if one cannot think of this, simply following one's mother will lead to the riverbank where fish can be caught

The coup led by my mother was completely successful, simple, effective, and seized every opportunity available, mobilizing all possible forces, and can be described as perfect

Only after putting in a large number of roasted, semi-dried fish did this place become abundant

A large number of fish have been caught, even more than yesterday, yet by the riverbank, there are still only the mother and child, with no sight of their kin coming over

This is the aftermath of the coup; once coups become a habit, everyone will develop an illusion in their hearts—that they can be replaced!

Taking a bite of the grilled fish, Yun Chuan finally believed that true delicacies can indeed move one to tears

Indeed, the mother no longer allowed Yunchuan to run around freely, but instead kept a close watch on him. She not only needed to keep an eye on Yunchuan, but also had to find ways to please the man who had helped her succeed in the coup.

This time, Yun Chuan prepared to grill fish by himself, for which he had obtained some salt from the clan leader

When the mother distributes the fish, she is very particular about the order. The first to enjoy the delicious grilled fish are usually the strong and robust individuals, while the clan leader stands in the water, feeling dejected, continuing to catch fish

Mother appeared very excited, especially when she saw a wolf pelt; she collapsed onto it and rolled around.

A new day has begun

This time, the riverside is filled with Manchu people

It is evident that the clan leader is still somewhat dissatisfied

After the mother understood Yun Chuan's words, she sat on the ground and began to cry bitterly, her sobs were extremely heart-wrenching, and she realized that her food was about to be lost

In the square in front of the entire cave, there was only the sound of eating fish

Such a simple logical relationship, could the people in the entire tribe not think of it

Yun Chuan found a sharp wooden stake, resembling a steel nail, and continuously used this wooden stake to scratch the head of the person who brought him back to the tribe

What left Yun Chuan in despair was that the snow-covered Kunlun Mountains seemed to have completely vanished from the very first day he arrived

As for that strong man, who cannot even be killed by a venomous snake, he must die

The mother and child were well-fed, lying under the willow tree, sleeping one nap after another. As the sun began to set in the west, the mother hung the fish skewers on her body and led Yun Chuan towards the tribe.

After carefully observing this planet, Yun Chuan confirmed that he was still on Earth, as the scars on the moon were exactly the same as those he had seen before

Still sifting through the fish that the clan members had thrown ashore, he finally found two fish that he was most satisfied with. He then proceeded to scale the fish, remove the gills, and gut them, just as Yun Chuan had done yesterday

Yunchuan arrived at the livestock shed, where a small wild buffalo lay quietly on the ground. Upon seeing Yunchuan enter, it let out a "moo" and continued to ruminate on the food in its stomach

Since everyone has arrived, we will not be able to eat our fill

First, a large fire was lit by the riverbank, and then the fishing continued in the water

The delicious grilled fish is now the only means by which my mother can win people's hearts

However, when the mother had baked the delicious fish and sprinkled a little salt on it, handing it to the strong man who had returned with Yun Chuan hanging at his waist, Yun Chuan suddenly felt that his mother seemed to be a born politician

Yun Chuan smiled as he offered the best food to this fellow

The sound of birds began to chirp, though it is unclear when it started, followed closely by the calls of various wild beasts from the distant mountains. The monkeys made a loud noise, but after a tiger's roar, they obediently fell silent. Only the piercing trumpeting of the elephants continued, completing the final encirclement against the tiger's roar.

The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the earth in white, while Yun Chuan stared at the moon for an indeterminate amount of time.

He ate the grilled fish very late, even later than some women did.

The strong man let out a couple of "ha ha" laughs towards Yun Chuan, and eventually walked into the cave where his mother resided. Before long, Yun Chuan could hear their heavy breathing.

When he wanted to summon his mother, he discovered that she was already squatting by the fire, staring at the roasted fish in his hand, drooling half a foot long

This time, the patriarch naturally left his solitary cave, and his mother moved in with Yun Chuan, while the salt bag was appropriately hung at her waist

To dispel the malicious intentions of the ambitious, there is no other method but to resort to slaughter, and each coup d'état represents a significant loss for the community

No one asked where the patriarch had gone, nor did anyone care about this matter; their eyes were only on the food

The entire family went to the riverbank to continue fishing, and everyone worked hard, except for Yun Chuan, the mother, and the man who had already considered himself the clan leader

That fellow carried the clan leader to the edge of the cliff, exerted a little force, and the clan leader resting on his shoulder was thrown off the cliff

It is not that Yun Chuan is ruthless; if he were not, this man would certainly kill him first, just as in a pride of lions, when a new lion king appears, a young lion is bound to be killed for the same reason

The cave where the patriarch resides is not large, and there hangs a small amount of dried meat inside, along with a small pile of salt on a stone slab

The heavy rains that had occurred previously, along with the sudden emergence of rivers, left Yun Chuan feeling as if his heart had turned to ashes

This piece of fish reminded Yun Chuan of the delicacies he had enjoyed in the past, yet he did not understand why his mother was in tears.

Yunchuan pointed at the gradually drying sandy ground and said to his mother: "Those fish will die, they won't last for many days"

Such significant geological changes should not go unnoticed by the satellites in the sky

Everyone is very happy

Today, while she was catching fish, she also had to battle the birds that were snatching her food. Whenever a bird flew away with a fish, she would feel sad for a long time. Thus, on this day, her mother experienced a continuous shift between joy and sorrow.

Seeing the clan members hurriedly jumping into the water to catch fish, my mother, however, did not enter the water; instead, she proudly rekindled a fire and built a new bonfire.

As Jian Yun Chuan opened the door to the livestock shed, the small wild buffalo, which had grown a bit larger, walked out gently, standing by the campfire with Yun Chuan, waiting for the sunrise

Indeed, his call was the voice of the ultimate champion, resonating through the valley, spreading further and lasting longer

After understanding Yun Chuan's words, Mother appeared quite flustered, covering Yun Chuan's mouth with her hand and speaking a long string of words in a hurried manner

The mother was grilling fish on the side while keeping an eye on Yun Chuan, who was picking lice out of that man's hair

The mother wishes to reclaim what was lost, yet is repeatedly pushed down.

Just as Yun Chuan was trying to recall the golden palace he had seen, the stoutest of the wild men emerged from the cave. As he passed by Yun Chuan, he caught a strong whiff of blood and simultaneously saw the chieftain bleeding profusely.

Yun Chuan let out a faint sigh in his heart

The patriarch's dying screams attracted a few howls from the wolves, while Yun Chuan lowered his head and continued to stare blankly at the fire before him

We will bring our family members over tomorrow to fish together

When the mother wanted to distribute food to everyone, that strong man seemed quite displeased, expressing his dissatisfaction several times about the mother giving the best food to Yunchuan

Yun Chuan stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing at the distant mountains and rivers. Suddenly, he could not help but shout loudly, as an indescribable surge of heat flowed within his abdomen. It was insufficient to release the pent-up frustration in his chest without calling out.

Make that man very comfortable

The next day, the mother set off early again with Yun Chuan, and this time, she brought a torch.

This fellow is lying comfortably under the willow tree, snoring like thunder

On this night, Yun Chuan slept soundly, with his mother resting beside him. None of those who sought to exchange food for a night of passion with his mother succeeded.

The smell in the cave is indescribable; in any case, Yun Chuan would rather sleep in the open than stay in this suffocating cave

The grand feast of grilled fish lasted an entire day; however, the people returned to the cave before sunset

This person's hair has long since matted into a felt-like mass, and the lice on their head do not need to be caught, as they are running around chaotically on the felt. As for beneath the felt, there are layers of white nits, and Yun Chuan can still see small lice emerging from the nits.

The little wild ox suddenly stood up, and the little wolf also howled "woo woo" at the man, while Yun Chuan quietly sat by the campfire roasting fish

Yun Chuan sat alone outside the cave, tending to the campfire

He baked very carefully, ensuring that each fish was thoroughly cooked before sprinkling a little salt on top
