Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel - Chapter 98

It seemed like there could be other implications, but Er Dai didn’t react at all. He innocently replied, “Yeah, yeah.”

As he spoke, he sat up and patted the bed beside him.

Le Shui’s eyes darkened slightly, and a hint of inexplicable meaning appeared on his stern face.

Without saying a word, he blew out the lamp.

Le Shui walked over, laid down with his arms behind his head.

Er Dai chuckled foolishly, not knowing why he was laughing, perhaps he felt that at least it proved that Le Shui didn’t reject him.

No, of course, Brother Le Shui wouldn’t reject him.

Er Dai turned to look at the man who had already closed his eyes, and gratefully said, “Brother Le Shui, um, thank you for helping me move so many wooden logs for building the house.”

He had been a little nervous facing Le Shui just now, but thinking of this, he relaxed a lot.

Brother Le Shui had also helped him enthusiastically, so he wasn’t afraid of him now.

Le Shui’s body stiffened imperceptibly. “Hmm.”

Er Dai continued innocently, “But you walked away too quickly. If I hadn’t just gone back to get something, I almost didn’t see you. Were you shy? Oh right, Brother Le Shui, are you free tomorrow? How about I treat you—”

“Shut up.” Le Shui seemed to interrupt his words with unbearable patience.

Er Dai quickly shut his mouth, but his gaze remained on Le Shui, not knowing what he was looking at, his round eyes particularly focused.

Le Shui hadn’t paid him any attention before, pretending to sleep calmly. After a while, he noticed that Er Dai showed no signs of looking away, so he gritted his teeth with resignation and said, “Go to sleep!”

“Oh…okay!” Thinking that he wasn’t afraid anymore, Er Dai, upon hearing Le Shui’s roar, became flustered again and tightly closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Er Dai asked in an extremely soft voice, “Brother Le Shui, are you asleep?”

A few seconds later, Le Shui replied resignedly, “No. If you can’t sleep and just want to talk, just go ahead.”

His voice was faint, and he seemed quite impatient, but Er Dai was very excited.

Excited for a while, but then calmed down again, he pondered for a long time before saying, “Brother Le Shui, do you know why Witch called me today?”

Er Dai actually had many questions in his heart. He wasn’t really stupid, how could he not see the suspicion in Lu Yu and Tai Lie’s eyes?

Moreover, people from the valley told him that entering dreams only required Lu Yu to take a look, there was no need for questioning or anything.

But just now, before he could ask his own questions, he came out. As a result, he couldn’t sleep now that he was awake.

Le Shui was silent for a moment. “I don’t know.”

“Okay.” Er Dai wasn’t disappointed with Le Shui’s answer. He just wanted to find someone to talk to.

“Oh right!” Er Dai remembered something. “Witch asked me if I knew about the three major tribes. Brother Le Shui, can you tell me about these three major tribes?”

Er Dai found that as long as he didn’t deliberately search for information about the three major tribes in his mind, his head wouldn’t hurt.

In the darkness, Le Shui slowly opened his eyes, turned his head slightly, and looked at Er Dai. “Witch asked you?”

“Yeah!” Er Dai met his gaze.

Le Shui stared at him for a moment.

Er Dai blushed a little, wiped his face, wondering if he had spilled goat milk on his face just now.

Le Shui withdrew his piercing gaze and said coldly, “The three major tribes are the alliance tribes that built the Beasts Plain Stone City. During the Great Drift, we lived in the Beasts Plain Stone City. Later, because we obtained the opportunity for the final tribal battle, the three major tribes wanted us to give up the opportunity. When we refused, they expelled us from the Beast Plain Stone City. Later, they even captured the leader of the tribes that were friendly to us and tortured them, hoping to obtain information about the Witch.”

Er Dai heard Le Shui say such a long passage for the first time and was a little dizzy for a moment, but he still concluded one thing.

“So, these three major tribes are not good tribes!” Er Dai clenched his fists indignantly.

Le Shui coldly hmphed.

Er Dai let go of his fist, furrowed his brows in thought, and asked in confusion, “But why did Witch ask me if I knew about them?”

Le Shui observed him without a trace. “Have you really been living in the Green Forest Land all along?”

“Really!” Er Dai blurted out, “And this is the first time the Green Forest Land has bordered your land. I really haven’t been here before.”

“But…” Er Dai hesitated, feeling uneasy, “I remembered something…”

“What is it?”

Er Dai hesitated for a while, uneasy, “I…I seem to have a period of time when I don’t remember what I did…”

Le Shui’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

Er Dai hesitated and said intermittently, “It seems like… when I was twelve, no, thirteen years old, the chief of our tribe called me to do something, it seemed like there were other people too, and then I returned to the tribe, and then I couldn’t sleep well…”

Le Shui asked in a deep voice, “What did you do?”

Er Dai felt a little panicked inside, trying hard to remember, but couldn’t, “I really don’t remember.”

“What happened next?”

Er Dai said, “Soon after, I was sold to other tribes.”

“Oh right!” Er Dai’s eyes lit up. “I remember there were other people indeed! When I returned to the tribe, I was wondering why there were so many fewer people in the tribe, but since they were all slaves, no one paid attention…”

Le Shui pondered.

“Can you still think about the three major tribes?”

“I…” Er Dai was a little scared. He couldn’t forget the headache from before, it really hurt so much that he wanted to smash his head.

But now, whether it was Lu Yu whom he liked very much or Brother Le Shui whom he felt close to, both wanted to know about this, so Er Dai felt that he should try.

“Alright.” Er Dai nodded heavily and closed his eyes.

Er Dai silently repeated in his mind, “Three major tribes, three major tribes.”

What did he actually know about them? Why did he feel familiar?

A familiar pain surged, but it didn’t seem as severe as before. Er Dai took two deep breaths and continued to think.

He felt like there was a stone lodged in his brain, this stone was related to the three major tribes, it had a hard protective shell, but inside it seemed empty. Er Dai desperately tried to break this outer shell with his thoughts to see what was inside.

The man and the stone confronted each other for a long time.

Er Dai finally managed to crack a gap in the stone.

In an instant, some fragmented memories flooded Er Dai’s mind. Before he could even examine them, the pain in his head suddenly increased several times.

“Ah!!” Er Dai cried out in pain, his face collapsing as he hugged his head, rolling on the bed.

Just when he was in pain and wanted to bash his head against the wall to commit suicide, suddenly his arm was held tight, and he fell into a warm embrace.

The person holding him had a chest as hard as a slab of stone. Er Dai couldn’t distinguish the objects in front of him anymore, so since it was hard, he decided to bash his head against it.

Thud thud thud, the muffled sound echoed again and again.

The person being hit relaxed his body, fearing that he might hurt the person’s head.

Er Dai whimpered like a trapped beast, realizing that he couldn’t break through the hardness. He became irritable, opened his mouth wide, and bit down hard, his teeth sinking into Le Shui’s intentionally relaxed chest.

Le Shui’s expression remained unchanged, after all, their Matai people didn’t feel pain.

He reached out and pressed the back of Er Dai’s head, holding down his flailing hands and feet, lowered his head, “I’m here.”

The man’s voice was as cold and hard as his appearance, but at this moment, there was a hint of unnoticed gentleness and comfort mixed in.

This unnoticed gentleness and comfort didn’t include Er Dai.

Er Dai, who acted like he was crazy, froze when he heard Le Shui’s words, no longer kicking or biting, relaxed his grip and buried his head deep in Le Shui’s chest.

Outside the window, the moon hung high, casting a soft moonlight through the cracks in the window, shining on the two of them.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Le Shui felt a dampness on his chest.

Er Dai’s choked voice sounded, “I… I saw… some things…”

Le Shui let go of his hand, stood up, opened the door, and walked out.

Er Dai blinked his blurry eyes, suddenly remembered what he had just done, and felt like crying again.

He had just acted like a madman, not only that, he even bashed Le Shui’s chest with his head, and even bit Le Shui. It seemed like he drew blood!

He was a waste who not only couldn’t help, but only caused trouble…

Er Dai thought despairingly and sadly.

“Here, wipe it.” Le Shui stood by the bed, handing Er Dai a clean grass leaf.

Er Dai’s eyes were still filled with tears, looking blankly at the man who came in somehow.

Le Shui frowned and threw the grass leaf at his face.

The grass leaf seemed to have been soaked in water, very soft and cool. Placed on Er Dai’s face, which was chafed by tears, it was very comfortable.

Er Dai held the grass leaf, rubbed his face against it.

“Sleep, we’ll talk tomorrow if there’s anything.” Le Shui lay down again.

There was none of the disgust and impatience that Er Dai imagined.

Er Dai opened his mouth, but in the end, he weakly uttered a “okay”.

After this turmoil, somehow, Er Dai fell asleep very quickly, and slept very soundly, without waking up in the middle of the night.

—

The next day.

Le Shui led Er Dai into Lu Yu’s house for a private conversation.

Le Shui briefly mentioned what happened last night, omitting the part where Er Dai went crazy, only saying that he seemed to have remembered something.

Lu Yu felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was strange. Er Dai seemed particularly nervous in front of Le Shui, and his face was full of compliance.

He guessed that what happened last night might not be simple, but considerately didn’t ask much. After all, it was a private matter between the two of them, and he knew that Le Shui had a sense of propriety.

Lu Yu was now more concerned about the fragments of memory that Er Dai had seen. “Er Dai, take your time to tell us, don’t be afraid, we’ll protect you.”

Er Dai nodded gently.

After thinking for a long time, he finally organized his thoughts.

Er Dai said cautiously, “Actually, I can only vaguely remember some things, I haven’t figured out the details yet. It seems that it all started when the chief of my previous tribe called us slaves to do something, but we didn’t know what it was. They blindfolded us and took us to a place…”
