I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 994, Almost Couldn’t Hold Back

The heavy rain continued to fall as usual, with no sign of weakening. This was now the time of the rainy season with the greatest rainfall.

“Shaman, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. The drainage system shouldn’t have any problems, right?” Yu Ying asked worriedly.

When Yu Ying had nothing to do, she would just stand by the window, her exquisite pink eyes full of worry.

She was afraid the Tribe’s drainage system would have some problem. If that happened, it would be terrible. Who knew if some houses would flood.

“Don’t worry. This amount of rainfall is completely not a problem. Even if it rains much more, it won’t flood.” Su Bai said calmly.

When he had first established the drainage system, he had already considered the rainfall issue. He had also had people test it. At maximum, it could handle over a metre of rainfall. Moreover, this was just a precaution.

No matter how much it rained, it could not possibly reach over a metre, because the drainage system could continuously drain the rainwater away.

“That’s good. I thought there would be problems. Since that’s the case, I don’t need to worry anymore.” Yu Ying immediately felt relieved. This way, she didn’t need to keep checking every day.

“Silly girl, don’t worry too much. I’ve considered everything. There won’t be any problems. Just relax in the future.” Su Bai said gently.

Actually, this could not be blamed on them either. After all, they were people from the primitive era and did not understand these matters.

It was just like taking Stone Age implements and showing them to modern people. They would not be used to using these things either.

They would even think these things had absolutely no use, but for people from the primitive era, they were very useful.

“Yes, Shaman. I believe you.” Yu Ying smiled with her eyes narrowed into slits.

Su Bai stood by the window watching the rain scene for quite a while, then turned and returned to his seat, beginning to handle today’s work.

He had just sat down and drunk a sip of tea when he felt something he had not done today.

[That’s right, I haven’t checked in today. I actually forgot about this.] Su Bai immediately remembered.

After he thought of this, he began looking for an opportunity, wanting to wait until Yu Ying was not around before checking in.

At this time, he also could not rashly walk back to his room, because that would be strange. Su Bai felt that since there was still plenty of time today, he could always find a suitable opportunity.

Yu Ying was obediently mending clothes on the side, with no intention of leaving.

Su Bai was fine when he did not think about it, but once he remembered, he felt a bit expectant. [My heart always races when it’s like this…]

He was constantly paying attention to every move Yu Ying made, wanting to see if she had any intention of leaving.

However, it was very obvious she sat there very quietly the whole time. She had a lot of work in her hands, and moreover, it was not mealtime now. The tea by his hand was also very full.

There was simply nothing that could make Yu Ying leave. This was a bit awkward.

[What excuse should I think of to have her go do something, so I can quickly check in?] Su Bai thought to himself.

Although no one would know when he checked in, the package obtained would be discovered.

If it was a small item, that would be fine, but what if it was a large item? If it suddenly appeared, wouldn’t it scare people to death?

Like before, the System had drawn a large wardrobe, which suddenly appeared in the corner of Su Bai’s room.

Fortunately, it had been in his room at the time. Otherwise, if it had been outside, it definitely would have startled people, and he would not know how he could explain it.

“Xiao Yu, I’m a bit hungry. Could you go make me a bowl of noodles?” Su Bai asked.

He had thought for a long time and could only say this, because making noodles required time and could send her away for a while.

“Shaman, you’re hungry right after finishing breakfast? Is it because I didn’t make breakfast well?” Yu Ying asked curiously.

After Yu Ying asked curiously, she felt a bit guilty.

If she had not made breakfast well, the Shaman had not been able to eat his fill. That was why he was asking for more food right now.

“No, no, no, don’t misunderstand. I’m just a bit hungrier than usual. You don’t need to make noodles. You can make something else.” Su Bai explained.

He had almost forgotten Yu Ying was very sensitive. Suddenly saying he was hungry would definitely make her misunderstand.

After all, they had just finished breakfast less than an hour ago. It was inevitable she would overthink.

“In that case, I’ll get some dried fish for the Shaman to eat.” Yu Ying asked.

“No, no, no, I already got tired of dried fish yesterday. Change to a different snack.” Su Bai hurriedly said.

The ones that had been prepared were packaged and placed in the kitchen. Going in to take them out would not take more than a few minutes, so he still would not have enough time.

“Then I’ll make roasted sweet potato strips for the Shaman, or boiled eggs? Or maybe fruit?” Yu Ying asked several options in succession.

Yu Ying now looked expectant, clearly very much enjoying this kind of work.

“I’ve eaten all of those before. How about this: I’ll teach you something new, and you can try making it?” Su Bai asked tentatively.

These items would not take very long. It would be better to just have her make something new.

“Sure, sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve learnt about a new food recipe.” Yu Ying kept nodding expectantly.

“I quite like eating spicy strips, so I’ll teach you how to make spicy strips.” Su Bai said.

He had also suddenly thought of eating spicy strips. It had indeed been a while since he had eaten them.

Making spicy strips was very simple. The ingredients were just flour, and then adding a bit of chilli. Moreover, the Tribe already had chillies now. Things like chilli powder and ground chilli were all prepared and stored.

“Spicy strips? From the name, I only know it’s spicy food, but what kind of food is it?” Yu Ying asked adorably, tilting her head.

When Su Bai saw her like this, he froze for a moment. [This… this is really too much.]

Her expression and movements were unbearably cute…

Yu Ying looked at Su Bai’s reddening ears and asked. “Shaman, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Su Bai coughed lightly a few times and said, “*Ahem…* I’m fine. First go prepare some flour and water.”

The Tribe now already had flour and wheat flour, because the raw materials of wheat and rice were both available.

Also, Su Bai couldn’t keep looking at her expressions and movements like this, or he might not be able to hold back.

“Alright, I’ll go right away. I’m glad the Shaman isn’t unwell.” Yu Ying happily turned and ran off.

[*Phew…* that was close. Now isn’t the right time yet.] Su Bai also breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt the timing hadn’t arrived yet. He would think about these things again after a while.

Most importantly, Yu Ying probably was not ready yet. Everything had to proceed naturally.
