Only then did Zhou Xu step forward holding his scepter.
He took out a soybean and put it in his mouth.
The elders stared at him in shock, only to hear Zhou Xu calmly state, “These three things are all called beans, this one is called soybean, it doesn’t contain poison.
It is edible, and it’s actually very good for the body.”

After talking, Zhou Xu took out a green one to put in his mouth, “This one, let’s call it a mung bean.
It’s also a pretty good thing.
In the summer, use it to boil soup, it can cool you down, and it’s also very good to make sweets with.”

Finally, Zhou Xu took out a red colored bean.
He didn’t put it in his mouth, instead, he held it and said, “This red thing isn’t a bean, this the fruit of the Nine Quarter Grass.
It is highly toxic, and it doesn’t have an antidote for the time being.
The last clan leader died because he ate this fruit.
As the reason why this fruit was in Ruan Shijin’s house, as well as how he fed it to the clan leader, we will need to ask him.”

Zhou Xu stared at Ruan Shijin, whose legs went weak, he was rooted in place.
He didn’t know how to answer.
He could only repeat, “It wasn’t intentional, I thought this bean wasn’t poisonous either.
Because the yellow and green-colored beans were not, I just thought it was modern adzuki beans, which are also edible.
I wasn’t sure, but I really did not intend to kill the clan leader.
You have to believe me, it really wasn’t intentional.”

“So, you’re admitting it?”

“But it wasn’t intentional.
It’s true, if I knew it was poisonous, how could I give it to the clan leader?”

“You thought that by saying a single phrase of ‘it wasn’t intentional’, you would be exempt from punishment? If it was me, and I killed you by mistake, what do you, as the deceased, think I should do? Do you think I would be innocent?”

Ruan Shijin couldn’t utter a single word.
Zhou Xu continued, “What’s more, you weren’t sure, that’s why you didn’t dare to taste it yourself, am I wrong?”

Ruan Shijin continued to back away, but Yan He grabbed his arm in a strong grip.

Zhou Xu, on the other hand, no longer pressed Ruan Shijin, instead he turned to the elders of the tribe and respectfully asked, “Elders, how should we punish Ruan Shijin in this kind of situation?”

The elders who at first supported Ruan Shijin were disappointed.
They discussed with the rest of the elders and finally said, “If it was truly unintentional, we could also understand.
But Ruan Shijin was suspicious of it being poisonous so he didn’t dare to try it himself.
Thus, giving it to the clan leader shows that he knew in his heart that the clan leader might die.
Therefore, we all feel that this is considered intentional on his part.”

Another elder stood up and said, “So, we decided to give him the maximum punishment, which is execution by fire, and it will be carried out in three days.”

Zhou Xu nodded and said, “Then let’s do it as you see fit.
Also, I’ll entrust the previous clan leader’s corpse and funeral to you, elders.
It was already disrespectful of us to take his body out again today.”

’

It was only when the elders nodded that Zhou Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter of the male lead was resolved.
Then after that he was going to go all out, he really intended to lead this clan forward.

On the very same day, Ruan Shijing was locked up.
Though he kept shouting that it had been unintentional, and that he was doing it for the clan, in the end, nobody paid any attention to him.

The day after Zhou Xu took office was the clan’s biggest hunting event in summer.
It would be a busy day for Zhou Xu as well, as he would be sending off the warriors in the morning, and worshipping the God of Eagles for food at noon, then in the evening, hosting the warriors’ dinner.

This was his duty as clan leader.
However, Zhou Xu was more concerned about his wild wheat and the matter of houses.
Because as Yan He said, as long as he was here, they would never lack food.

The second day of the hunt was extremely successful.
The prey they caught was enough to provide 3 months worth of food.

But in this hunt, in order to capture this prey, their clan had lost 3 people and 23 were hurt.
Obviously, when compared to hundreds of warriors, this wasn’t a big number.
In Zhou Xu’ eyes, however, as long as there were casualties, it couldn’t be considered a successful way to obtain food.
His desire to find the wild wheat was even more intense now.

That evening, after hosting the warrior’s dinner, Zhou Xu began to recall the information for wheat improvement.
Because he had once been a scientist in a certain world, he was very familiar with all kinds of experiments.
For this kind of thing that had already been successful, with all scientists having learned about it, Zhou Xu only needed to remember.

That world was already far away, so Zhou Xu had no option but to write it down to slowly recall.
He wrote the first formula, and then the improved formula, before finally writing the formula for practice, and the formula for distribution.

After recalling and writing down all the formulas, Zhou Xu found out that Yan He had once again come to his house.

“What are you writing?” Yan He asked.

“The method to improve the wheat seeds.” After answering, Zhou Xu hooked his hand towards Yan He and said, “Come here.”

Yan He had a bit of misgivings.
However, he still went.

Zhou Xu pulled Yan He’s hand and started to take his pulse.

Zhou Xu had taken his pulse before, but it was too hurried last time.
This time Zhou Xu was finally able to take a good look at Yan He’s health.

’

The longer Zhou Xu took his pulse, the more he discovered that Yan He’s body was really different from normal people.
His pulse flowed in reverse.

It was also the first time Zhou Xu encountered this kind of situation, so he turned his body and took Yan He’s pulse in a different way.
With this, Zhou Xu found that his front pulse was smooth, but there seemed to be a lot of stuff mixed in between, but Zhou Xu was unclear what they were.
Zhou Xu judged that it shouldn’t affect Yan He’s daily life.

After taking Yan He’s pulse, Zhou Xu also felt relieved.

Looking at Yan He, Zhou Xu asked, “If I plan to make big changes to our clan, will you support me?”

Without thinking for a second, Yan He nodded and said, “Support.”

“No matter how I change it?”

“En.”

Slightly smiling, Zhou Xu said, “Come and hug me.”

Yan He paused for a moment before reaching out to embrace Zhou Xu in his arms.

Feeling Yan He’s embrace, Zhou Xu thought to himself that he really couldn’t continue teasing him anymore, if he did, he might flee.

But since he was here, he shouldn’t think about leaving this evening.

Leaning into Yan He’s arms, Zhou Xu fell backwards, right onto his bed, and Yan He fell with him.

Yan He tried to move, but Zhou Xu hugged him around the waist and said, “Don’t move, hold me and sleep.”

That night, Zhou Xu slept very peacefully.
However, the next morning Zhou Xu got the news that Ruan Shijin went missing.

’

Reaching the house where Ruan Shijin was locked up, Zhou Xu found that the door had been opened and there was nobody inside.
The rope that tied Ruan Shijin up was also thrown on the floor.

Zhou Xu knew that someone had let him go.
However, a soft heart would always suffer, and when the time came, the person who had let Ruan Shijin go would know what regret felt like.

“Leader, what should we do?”

“It doesn’t matter, don’t mind him, if he escaped then let it be.
We also don’t know where he went, it’ll be hard to chase after him at the moment, so let’s forget about this matter for now.”

After Ruan Shijin escaped, Zhou Xu left the test planting of the soybeans to an elder.
He then went to the mountains again, but this time, Yan He followed him.

Zhou Xu thought about it, and decided to take a few more people with him as he wanted to collect the garlic from that garlic field.

He called around a dozen men, all carrying sturdy sacks.
Zhou Xu led them into the mountains.

Halfway there, Zhou Xu met Zhou Yang again.
He was initially living in the mountains and just happened to be preparing to go to the village’s clinic.
After knowing what Zhou Xu wanted to do, he insisted on following along.

Everyone else disagreed.
Although most of them didn’t know Zhou Yang, they all knew that there was a doctor named Zhou Yang in the village who was very delicate and frail.
When they saw him, they needed to protect him well and never let him get tired or hurt.

Zhou Yang was also quite speechless.
In the end, Zhou Xu didn’t agree to him following, but Zhou Yang’s body was already much better.
If he kept on taking the pills Zhou Xu gave him, then after half a year, his health would have greatly improved, and at that time it would be no problem to bring him along.

Zhou Yang was very disappointed, he could only turn around and walk towards the direction of the village.

At that moment, Han Wen, who just happened to go to the corner to relieve himself, came back and saw that the team hadn’t advanced at all.
Finding it strange, he asked, “Why aren’t you guys leaving?”

One of the warriors replied, “We just met Zhou Yang, he wanted to come with us, but we persuaded him to go back.”

“Oh, the really delicate doctor? I had never seen him.
When I go visit Han Xun, he always seems to be absent.”

’

“It’s him.” The warrior said to Han Wen as he pointed at a figure.

Han Wen followed the warrior’s gaze, only to see a thin figure that indeed seemed to be very weak.

“Okay, let’s go, if we’re late, we might run into beasts.”

Only then did the crowd continue, Han Wen looked at Zhou Yang’s back and felt as if he had seen this back before.
He thought that perhaps he had seen it just before when Zhou Yang left, but since he didn’t know Zhou Yang, he didn’t recognize it.

Continuing to walk forward, Zhou Xu finally found the garlic field.
However, he didn’t know why but the garlic field was unexpectedly empty.

Enduring his puzzlement and frustration, Zhou Xu asked, “Can you tell which animal is responsible?”

The warriors also found it strange, so they followed to investigate.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that the land was not destroyed by a fierce beast, but that it should be man-made, and that man’s purpose should be the same as Zhou Xu.

Zhou Xu found a leftover garlic in a corner and told the warriors that this was what they were looking for, but now the area was empty except for the one Zhou Xu had found.

And Zhou Xu also found human footprints, the footprints were not big.
Zhou Xu guessed that it might be a child’s.
However, the key point was why did a child need so many cloves of garlic?
