Therefore, it brings tranquility onto Sol Ming's sleeping face as her lips found curving upward into a contented smile.
Her body doesn't even feel when it meets the cold dead ground inside of the slummy animal tent.
Shan Yang didn't bother to care, and so he set off after with an expression of the female possibly crossing the bridge of land and sky to be with God.
That was actually doing in his favour.
When Sol Ming woke up the second time, she was in a state of confusion.
No one is around. Only she can hear indistinguishable sounds coming from unknown sources.
Without notice, a lot of memories not from her rushed to engrave into her mind.
It feels like when your head is being forced to take too much information at once, dropping it one or two times, drilling into the brain to make sure it will have to remember it later.
Grasping the details, she understood very well what it was all about—all are in connection with the original body owner—she is named Ming, Wu Ming of Wu Qing Tribe, and she came up to a rightful age going back to the last early summer season.
The Wu Qing tribe are currently living in the unnamed hill near this Dou Yun Shan Tribe.
As one of the most migrating tribes, the Wu Qing aren't that welcome when it comes to living next to any other tribes.
Three days ago they were attacked by the Dou Yun Shan tribe after refusing the salt exchange for slaves. For many years, the two tribes have actually been at each other's throats for almost eleven winters.
At a time when the Wu Qing passed in this tribe, the other wouldn't forget the grudge from that certain winter.
It was said that the Wu Qing Tribe deceased chief had killed the first son of the current Dou Yun Shan Tribe.
Since then, the tribes have been at stake for years, and the Wu Qing still keeps on entering this territory for unspoken reason. Even the original body owner doesn't know what this aforementioned motive is.
Sol Ming can't help wondering too.
Wu Ming has become orphaned since the event between Dou Yun Shan Tribe and Wu Wing Tribe happened.
Her parents were killed by the people of the enemy tribe, which made Wu Ming alone and outcast by her tribesmen.
Sol Ming found out this world is not any normal world like her original world, the residents aren't weak and self-willed.
All of them strictly followed the tribe rules, habits, and beliefs.
Each of their clans has a special kind of abilities in this world; only they have these terms for awakening spirit warriors, the—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
Although Sol Ming clearly does not understand how these people’s superhuman or non-human abilities work, with no knowledge from Wu Ming's memories, it was quite enough to acknowledge she was in a dangerous reality.
Wu Qing has no highly ranked awaken spirit warriors, that's why they got surprised by the Dou Yun Shan Tribe.
Resulting, many tribesmen got killed when fighting while numbers of women and children are hopelessly taken.
Meanwhile, Wu Ming fell dead on the road before she became someone else's real sl*ve.
The unfortunate incident was when someone tried to make a way into her.
Then Sol Ming who just died from in their world has penetrated the inside of her dead body, which was an hour earlier before the lying flesh was butchered into parts.
As person from another world who only likely to believe in scientific statements rather than any superstitious practice.
She isn't fond of the idea acknowledging this unexpected transmigration after the explosion.
She died, or maybe there are chances to go back.
Into this unknown world, she can only try to stay alive and find a way and answer her uncertainties.
The host body is wearing barely pieces of dried animal skins, on the seemingly growing front and down below to cover up the female reproductive part. Finally, noticing these small things has made Sol Ming feel like worshiping whoever put her soul into this world after not giving her an exposed body.
In one of her hobbies, she would like to spend it watching documentaries series.
That, coincidentally, there was this primitive period which turned her eyes to have dark circles in the next morning.
It caught her interest. Informed by the researchers that during the Paleolithic Era, men and women served different roles and functions within their tribes. To follow Wu Ming's impression about this unknown world.
Sol Ming concluded the residents here aren't far from the Old Stone Age back in her world.
So, men were generally responsible for hunting, fighting and protecting the tribe, whereas women were responsible for gathering food and reproducing offspring for carrying on the tribal population.
Under these ideas and knowledge, she does not know whether to laugh or cry.
Though it was not a problem wearing clothes made of animal skins and not from man-made materials, she is not very happy to know what level of society this world has at this time.
Thoughtfully staring at the low ceiling of the shabby tent, she fell into deep silence.
Later, when there's enough strength in her limbs and body, she sat up. Taking notice of the wound on her abdomen, right lumbar region.
At first glance, it may look like it has been extremely infected due to the cut, and she can tell that the slashing of something sharp made the skin become more vulnerable to dirt until it got dirty and somehow ended in an awfully looking dreading image.
Despite the man whom she met earlier attempting to clean her up. Sol Ming doesn't feel assured.
She must treat this properly as soon as possible, or else it will only get worse by unknown elements rubbing onto it. She needs to clean it up, remove some rotten flesh, and apply the right medicine she can have.
Then, she can heal in the next few days. That's become her mental preparation.
Sol Ming happily smiled at her simple plan for seconds, and then she heard an exchange coming from outside. It was from male voices which seemed to be having an important conversation.
"What is the result?
"Great Healer does not want to help Mu anymore. " That low voice sounded very familiar to Sol Ming.
"How about the other apprentice? " As if the other was being asked something that he doesn't want to talk to, the reply was quick and the tone was hiding his vexation.
" They said Mu would die soon. There is no time for them to help him, and pointing at me, I don't even have a boar to exchange for their herbs. "
" They really become arrogant since the Great Healer established their importance for our tribe," Sighing, the voice continued worriedly. " What will you do? The Great Healer announced the almighty Yun God was punishing us, and even our salt will be gone soon.
Chief Shan notified us that the tribe needs more sl*ves to exchange with the Sha Ma Jiang Tribe next moon, or else we would suffer during the upcoming winter season."" Hope, Dou Yun God help Mu."
" Wait—What about the sl*ve you took at the Slaughter Meat? Is she still alive?"
Sol Ming's ears perked up, they're talking about her.
As she finally recognized, the person who carried her back inside this tent is the same man from earlier.
How unlucky!
She thought it was someone who had a trace of pity.
Though that assumption would be far from the truth in possibilities, she is still somehow hoping.
After all, the man whom she first met in this world looked dangerous, and he told her to kick the bucket.
Sol Ming is so absorbed into her thoughts that she didn't notice Shan Yang entering his tent, along with his friend Shan Qiu who was taller and more matured.
The man has a visible scarred chest with the unknown mark tattoos near his heart.
Both men instantly caught Sol Ming's figure staring at nowhere. Shan Yang's eyebrows made a frowning expression as he can't help giving remarks. "She didn't die..."
"I can see that," Shan Qiu was obviously displeased from seeing Sol Ming's body breathing alive. "You need fresh meat right for Mu." A reminder of Shan Yang's motive for taking back Sol Ming into his tent. "Yet, this one looks absolutely alive and has spirit within her eyes."
Shany Yang gave a hard stare. Asking in his mind, 'Why are you still alive?'
With the Clan Elders permission, he'd be able to have his first sl*ve as a member of Dou Yan Shan Warriors even though he is still a two-star ranked warrior.
In order to have a sl*ve, the tribe warriors have to become third rank spirit warriors before they could get a sl*ve for themselves. Since Shan Yang planned to have the dying Wu Qing female as his first slave, that elder let him do what he please at the same time quietly mocking him for his stupidity.
He will never get another sl*ve unless his rank rises to the fifth spirit warrior.
In which it would possibly take two or three winters from now on.
Choosing this Wu Qing female is only for the purpose of becoming their family's fresh meat because if she ever dies today.
As her master, his female sl*ve body would be his, and he doesn't
required to share the meat with everyone.Then his little brother can eat as many as he wants.
"Yes. But she is almost not breathing earlier." Shan Yang tutted.
"How about we kill her now." Shan Qiu suggested touching the bone knife hanging on his waist.
"I can do it if you can't."
Shan Yang frowned, "I can handle this."
Sol Ming snapped back out of her trance and looked up at the standing men deciding her life as if it was nothing but insignificant.
From their words, she already felt a foreboding prediction if she doesn't start begging.
Her meat will be eaten by these people like a piece of pork chop. Knowing her intuition is the best guide she can afford.
On her position, she is so quick to kowtow in front of them as if praising the gods of heaven and started her life saving monologue.
Not even sure where her sudden strength has come from, maybe this is what they call the power of will.
"Don't kill me! Please, have mercy on me." Sol Ming's voice broke. Tears started showing near her eyes. "I can help you in anything. I can do a lot of things, and, and I know how to heal your wounds. Just, do not kill me! I will be able to heal myself to prove my words to you...Ma-master!"
Sol Ming did her utmost not to sound like a damsel in distress as she is afraid to lower her pride even more.
Saying the word master out loud already took a great toll.
Maybe this world is not the modern society she was used to, but it doesn't mean she will ever let her face to lose over these barbaric people.
Shan Qui chuckled. "What a noisy sl*ve you have here, Shan Yang. Look, she is too skinny to give birth in the future. Are you sure you want to keep this one?"
Shan Yang who is awfully quiet has thinking about something.
Looking down at the trembling Sol Ming's, he is having second thoughts.
"Master Shan Yang please..." Sol Ming cried out pitifully. With tears sliding down from her eyes, she called out once more.
Shan Yang had seen a lot of slaves crying for mercy at their masters, but this is the first time he felt weird looking back at someone else's eyes begging to survive.
There was something he cannot grasp from the way those green orbs were looking back at him. He stared back without any visible expression.
"You said you would heal yourself."
"Yes! " Sol Ming keeps on nodding as if her neck isn't hers anymore. "I can heal myself."
"Then," Shan Yang began. "Heal my little brother, and you will live as a sl*ve of mine."
"Yes—Little Brother?" returning a bit slow, she stopped and raised her head to meet the other man's unwavering golden eyes.
There was his little brother lying vulnerable before her.He is a young boy looking very innocent, with curly black colored hair and absolutely sweet-faced.Far from his proclaimed older brother who looks like somebody owes him a lot of meat.At one look she could roughly guess the child's age as between seven and eight years old from how small his body was.If only he was not shaking and sweating excessively as he appeared to be right now.Sol Ming will believe he is a good child who takes a nap in the afternoon siesta and deserves to be waken with delicious snacks.However, that wasn't the case when he was obviously under the influence of illness.She observed the boy's body to find the source of his suffering, and she understood it immediately.By placing her palm on the child's sweaty head, she was burned.It is hot. He is burning with fever. The words were distinct and whispering, it's a thought that was predo
"But, if that Wu Qing female decided to kill Mu today, he would cross to the next life. Although the Great Healer said he would die soon. You still have time to be with him, or perhaps we could hunt boar for some herbs."Shan Yang said nothing back.He took another glance inside of his tent.There was the exact moment he caught the Wu Qing’s female hand carefully touching his brother's leg.Afraid he will do something to Shan Mu he felt like running up toward the female to kick her again for not following his words, except that his body doesn't even move an inch.He let his sight fall on her for a while to watch the movements. Though he made the decision not to kill his first sl*ve that he seriously planned earlier, it doesn't mean he can't do it later.After all, he took her back to become Shan Mu's food before he chose to be with their Dou Yun God."I know, " He turned his attention to Shan Qiu who's been waiting for his respo
Her mouth stretched out a little.For a moment, she wanted to say something, but on the second thought, it seems better to take a light nod instead.The living man in front of her was obviously not someone who would listen to anything unless he could see it with his own eyes.Though she was not surprised at the brutal temperament of a savage like him, she realised her naivety to think this man could be easily deceived.When Shan Yang took his stone bowl out from her grasp. You can't expect any gentleness, and she did not bother to care.From Sol Ming’s understanding at this time, this man would immediately slash her with a knife without any hesitation, even if you begged him to death. Now, having the little brother at her care. It must be because he had no choice but to give it a try. Even after taking her back with a purpose to become their food, he gave into her foreign words.It was enough to let Sol Ming feel she had the upper hand here—
It's absolutely as horrible as it sounds. ShanYang's appearance has always been reminding Sol Ming of the possibilities of a cannibal, man-eater, killer, and a very barbaric man in the primitive era. Now, in which is her current self-proclaimed master.How much she wanted to erase that pecking order.Yet, in reality, for the others, such as Meng Meng, he has to drop on the ground as soon as they see any related members of the tribe; a man or a woman, it would be certain as master, whereas they are related to the tribe's clan people.The orange-haired boy's head is already buried in the mud.Sol Ming was taken aback by the action and couldn't help but frown.Her thoughts are raising questions.Does this imply that all of the slaves here are required to do this kowtowed to any superior person or masters? If that is the case, she knows she will be infuriated in no time.That is clearly impossible for her!&nb
"Oh, Sister Ming," Meng Meng seemingly like he has dog ears rising in awe. "I've just applied it to my wounds after the crushing.""Can you tell me where you got this?" Sol Ming learned from his grandfather that this plant can grow into a 5–10 meter wide belt between the forest and the tall grassland, in which it shielding the forest from grassfires and helping the forest to expand. If that's the case, she will need to take more notes into geographical details if she ever decides to run away someday."Just a little further away, near the side of the large rocks." Meng Meng replied a bit confused."What?""I'll show sister Ming, if..." Meng Meng watches Shan Yang as the other stuffs all the cut flesh into the stone pot. Sol Ming had followed looking, but her entire attention was on the meat with dirt from the soil.Oh. God.She wanted to scream as soon as Shan Yang poured unfiltered water into it and appeared to start cooking when he was abou
"Sister Ming? What is the problem?"Sol Ming's cold sweat has finally been awakened by the worried voice next to her face.The orange-haired boy has been watching Sol Ming's movements since he first sat next to her.That's because the guy was previously intrigued by how she cared for Shan Mu's leg recently. It immediately captured the little guy's attention.Meng Meng had never seen a healer take such meticulous care and knowledge of people's treatment of their injuries before.As if the healer was afraid of hurting the patient; in fact, Sol Ming was extremely cautious for a very dark reason: she is very afraid of being seen careless again by Shan Yang. Otherwise, her hand would turn into a yummy—meat stick!Oh, God, just thinking about it makes her life scream danger!That is why, Sol Ming had her hands in her pockets too, afraid of making any loose. Meng Meng learned how to scrape the rotten part for the first time w
However, after the other demonstrates her skill with different healing methods, which he knows possibly from being a Wu Qing Tribe's people, he changes his mind. By now making him to consider it wouldn't be so bad if this one could stay in his tent as his female sl*ve.Though, he can't bed her because he can't afford to have a child right now.If Shan Mu wakes up and continues living on, she will look after his younger brother while he is away at hunting or when it is a tribal salt exchange.Shan Yang decides he should give Sol Ming another chance."Meng Meng, accompany her outside to look for herbs for Shan Mu."The sun is still high in the sky, and they can still look from the safest areas near the tribe, where other sl*ves are always constantly looking for vegetables to eat for a day. Their Dou Yun Shan Tribe is located within the Wild Forest near the high-grassland that no one from their tribe has ever dared to cross, claiming every warrior who c
Meng Meng doesn't understand why his sister Ming is vomiting at first.Running up to her side showing his worried face, he started asking questions.However, when his sister Ming signals his approaching figure to stop with her hand, he does not move any closer.He was afraid that if he didn't listen to what was signed to him, his sister Ming would suffer even more, or else that she would be angry at him.Meng Meng's family does not want to lose the only sister who has accepted him.While waiting at Sol Ming's back.He had returned his gaze to what his sister Ming had been staring at a while ago, and there was nothing he found objectionable.He could only see what was going on in the Dou Yun Shan Tribe on a daily basis.A middle-aged man, a high-ranking spirit warrior he is known as Shan Feng, is having a time to make baby with another female slave from a neighboring tent. It was not a good sight
