The woman asked, "Is this a lot of grain?"

The man shook his head upon hearing this, "Not much, at most enough for us to eat for ten days or so."

"What can we do? There are still several months until spring!"

Upon hearing his wife's question, the man fell silent.

Yes! My only daughter has already been sold, and it's impossible to get any more food. What can I do?

After a moment's thought, the man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at his wife, "Don't worry, I have a plan!"

After saying this, the man helped his wife lie down properly, then went out of the house and began to contact the able-bodied men he knew in the tribe.

On the other side, looking at the approximately one hundred young women in front of him, Zhao Si ordered his men to start cooking, so that she could have a full meal.

After the women had eaten their fill, a look of satisfaction appeared on each of their faces. They had not only accepted the fact that they had been sold, but also had a glimmer of hope for the future.

Zhao Si then summoned one of his men and instructed him, "Take your men and send them back. At the same time, tell Generals Guo and Tian that the situation in Juyan seems to be more serious than we expected, and ask them to send more men over!"

"promise!!"

Soon, thirty men from this group, along with the women, headed towards Guo Si's camp.

Zhao Si and his men did not rush to leave, but chose to stay there temporarily.

That night, the man invited about a hundred able-bodied men from the tribe to gather together, and the young man was also among them.

The young man asked, "Brother Tam, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing the young man's question, Tam nodded, then glanced around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, there is something I need to discuss with you all!"

"What's up?"

Tam said, "As you can see, those big men who came to trade only want women. Now we've sold almost all the women in our tribe that we can sell, but the grain we've sold isn't enough for us to survive this winter!"

Then Tam looked at the group and said, "I have a way to help us survive. Would you like to come with me?"

Upon hearing Tam's words, the group exchanged glances.

The young man spoke up, "Brother Tam, what do you suggest we do?"

"Yes, as long as we can survive, we'll do whatever you say!"

The others chimed in, for they were simply too afraid of being hungry.

"Alright! My plan is to raid the neighboring tribe for women and then trade them for food!"

Upon hearing Tam's words, the group hesitated only slightly before readily agreeing. Although they belonged to the same race, people were always so selfish. It was better to let their friends die than to let themselves starve.

Soon, under Tam's organization, the group returned to their homes, grabbed their weapons, and, under cover of night, made their way towards a tribe in the northwest.
