I am a Primitive Man

For the Green Tribe, this winter was exceptionally tough and bitterly cold.

But that feeling vanished completely once they arrived at the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Warm clothes, cozy beds, heated houses, hot soups... All of these made them forget about the cold outside.

With these things, the fear-inducing cold that once terrified them didn't seem so dreadful anymore.

The life they once envied and dreamed of living suddenly became a reality.

Moreover, this tribe didn't disappoint them. Everything here was much better than they had imagined.

So much so that many from the Green Tribe found themselves occasionally dazed, wondering if this new life they were living was real.

However, this dazed state didn't last long before they were brought back to reality.

The one who brought them back was the smiling, mysterious, and highly respected Divine Child.

Once they understood what bathing meant, including the Green Tribe leader, they couldn't help but shudder.

During warmer weather, washing with water was acceptable, but in this season, when water turned to ice, how could anyone endure that?

Wouldn't they freeze to death?

But they had just joined the tribe, and the tribe had given them so many good things. Now, if a request were made, it wouldn't be good for them to refuse.

So, after thinking about it for a while, the Green Tribe leader gritted their teeth, took off their hat and gloves, handed them to a former member of the Green Tribe standing nearby, and then took a step forward.

While untying the ropes of their clothes, they asked Han Cheng, with a pleading expression, if he could bathe alone, and the rest wouldn't need to bathe.

After understanding the Green Tribe leader's intentions from Eldest Senior Brother, Han Cheng was stunned.

It was just bathing. Why did it feel like a major ordeal?

They say primitive people don't care much about hygiene; today, Han Cheng saw it firsthand.

Han Cheng looked at the Green Tribe leader's strange behavior and shook his head. Bathing was necessary for everyone.

If one person bathed and was clean, what about the dust and uncomfortable little bugs on the others?

Other things could be substituted, but bathing couldn't be replaced.

Seeing Han Cheng shaking his head, the Green Tribe leader became even more anxious. Babbling, they began to untie their clothes, grab a handful of snow, and rub it on their bare chests. Ꞧ₳ɴ𝐨ꞖƐŚ

Han Cheng was taken aback by the Green Tribe leader's sudden action, eyes widening in surprise.

Was this guy so bold?

Rubbing snow on their body right in front of so many people?!

Afterward, Han Cheng understood what was happening and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

On the other hand, the Eldest senior brother also understood the Green Tribe leader's intention from his 'babbling' words and conveyed them to Han Cheng.

The bewildered Green Sparrow Tribe members standing beside, taken aback by the Green Tribe leader's bold actions, all suddenly felt relieved.

Watching this scene anxiously, the Green Tribe members couldn't quite understand it. The Green Tribe leader, rubbing snow on their chest, stopped abruptly.

Vaguely, they felt they might have misunderstood something.

"Hurry, stop him..."

Han Cheng spoke up, addressing the Eldest Senior Brother and the others.

After rearranging their clothes neatly, including their hats and gloves, the Green Tribe leader stood there in a daze.

Didn't they say to bathe? Why did they stop themselves?

Was there another way to bathe besides using snow? Even if they used water, wouldn't it be just as cold?

Not only that, but all the Green Tribe members felt dizzy from the esteemed Divine Child's actions.

The misty steam spread through the stone-built room, thick fur curtains blocking the cold air outside. Sitting in a large pottery tub, the Green Tribe leader's skin reddened from the hot water as they wiped some water off their face with their hands, showing a blissful expression.

So bathing in winter wasn't just not cold, but quite comfortable!

Recalling their reaction shortly after hearing the Divine Child talk about bathing, the Green Tribe leader's face flushed rarely.

They had misunderstood. How could the kind-hearted Divine Child possibly suggest something like that?

Just as they were thinking this, not far away in another tub, Eldest Senior Brother stood up, holding a bone-made box containing a piece of soap in his hand.

Initially, he didn't need to bathe. However, considering the Green Tribe had just joined and was unfamiliar with the bathhouse amenities, he came in to accompany them.

The Eldest Senior Brother was quite willing to take on this task. He had long appreciated the comfort of soaking in a hot bath during winter.

"Here, rub it on your body..."

Senior Brother said to the Green Tribe leader, demonstrating as he spoke.

After a while, seeing the Green Tribe leader struggling, Senior Brother couldn't bear it and personally helped apply the soap.

The Green Tribe leader was deeply moved by the smoothness of their skin and the occasional bubble. Even bathing in this tribe was uniquely comfortable and pleasant.

Under Senior Brother's guidance, the Green Tribe leader's emotions deepened even more after experiencing the sauna built on the side.

They even had a feeling of not wanting to leave.

Other members of the Green Tribe had similar thoughts.

However, the Divine Child repeatedly emphasized the rooms that could generate a lot of heat and make people sweat: elders and young children were not allowed in, nor were they allowed to enter alone. This left some people feeling somewhat regretful.

The people emerged from the bathhouse with their hair loose and feeling relaxed all over. After just one session, they fell in love with this bathing method.

The bathed Green Tribe members gathered in the grass-roofed houses assigned to them for residence.

Specialists taught the female primitives and underage females how to braid their hair into twisted braids and use goat horns.

As for the male primitives, the elderly from the Green Sparrow Tribe held sharp iron knives, cutting their cleaned hair bit by bit into short hairstyles like those of the Green Sparrow Tribe men.

After being busy for half a day like this, the Green Tribe members who had just joined the Green Sparrow Tribe were utterly renewed.

This was genuinely starting anew.

With their bath and hairstyles resembling those of the Green Sparrow Tribe members, it was hard to tell the difference between them and the elderly of the Green Sparrow Tribe.

Han Cheng, Wu, and Senior Brother looked at the curious looks exchanged between the newly integrated Green Tribe members, unable to hide their smiles.

This was just the first step in integrating the Green Tribe. A series of measures would follow.

Once these measures were primarily implemented, the Green Tribe members would be nearly fully absorbed and integrated.
