Chapter 60: Leader, you can't lie

After the sacrifice, Jingjie found Jiang Xuan.

"I have made up my mind. I will take everyone to stay in the Teng Tribe for the winter."

"No regrets? Let me remind you that the Teng Tribe can only provide rations for 30 people at most during the winter. If anyone can't make it through this winter, they will die!"

Jing Jie said with a firm look in her eyes: "No regrets."

In fact, Jingjie had no room for regret.

If you choose thirty people to join the Vine Tribe, the others will die. If you continue to look for other tribes, more people will die.

After excluding these options, it actually became the best option for everyone to stay in the Teng Tribe to survive the winter.

"Okay, since you have decided, I will immediately gather people to help you build a house for the winter."

Just as Jiang Xuan was about to turn around, Jing Jie grabbed his sleeve.

Jiang Xuan glanced at him, and the tall Jingjie reluctantly let go of his hand and asked in a low voice: "Chief, you said there is a way for us to find food in winter, is that true?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Jing Jie's expectant eyes, nodded, and said, "Of course it's true. It won't do me any good if you freeze to death or starve to death."

Jing Jie let out a long sigh and said, "That's good, that's good..."

"Anything else?"

"there is none left."

"Then I will notify the tribesmen to help you build a house. In addition, you need to store a lot of dry firewood to survive the cold winter."

"Okay." Nepeta nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.

Jiang Xuan turned and left, sighing in his heart. It was too difficult to survive in this dangerous and wild world. Even a warrior like Jing Jie had to lower his head and be careful to survive.

Given a choice, who would be willing to be servile?

Jiang Xuan shook his head and went to find someone to build the house.

During the next ten days, the Teng tribe worked hard to build houses for these tourists.

In order to build faster, in addition to bamboo, a large number of trees, stones, etc. were added to the building materials. Jiang Xuan had only one requirement for these houses, and that was that they must be sturdy.

In addition to building houses, tourists would desperately collect various dry firewood whenever they had free time to prepare for winter heating.

Jiang Xuan, Gou Teng and others hunted and fished as much as possible every day and stored food frantically.

Some small prey that were previously looked down upon are now caught in order to survive the winter.

On September 23, all ten houses for tourists to live in were completed, and firewood was piled up into a small hill, enough to burn for a long time.

September 25th, night.

“Wuwuwu…”

The cold wind was howling outside, making the branches and leaves rustle.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan had sealed the gaps in the bamboo house with mud in advance, otherwise the little heat generated by the burning fire in the house would be completely taken away by the cold wind.

"It's probably going to snow."

Jiang Xuan muttered something, tightened the animal skin mattress covering him, and continued to sleep.

In the second half of the night, the wind outside gradually died down, but snowflakes began to float in the sky. At first there were only a few scattered snowflakes, but then they became heavier and heavier, flying all over the sky.

Many people did not sleep well that night because it was too cold.

The next morning, Jiang Xuan woke up, put on his fur coat, and was about to wash his face as usual. However, after opening the door, he saw that the ground had turned into a vast expanse of white.

“It’s really snowing!”

Jiang Xuan returned to the bamboo house, blocked the door, found the calendar bamboo tube, and carved the word "Xiaoxue" next to today's date.

The snow means the long winter has officially begun. For the tribesmen, the cold winter with lack of food and clothing is undoubtedly a nightmare.

Jiang Xuan put the calendar bamboo tube back in place and went outside again.

He was already a two-color warrior, and his physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary people. It was as if there was a burning furnace inside his body, so he was not afraid of the cold.

He turned around and looked at the stone mountain, only to see that the stone mountain and the ancient vine were also covered with a thick layer of white snow. Halfway up the mountain, the giant dragonfly that had been almost unable to hold on had been frozen to death last night.

The giant dragonfly's body turned into an ice sculpture and, together with the ancient vines on the stone mountain, became part of the winter snow scene.

"I still couldn't make it through."

Jiang Xuan sighed slightly. Although he had guessed that the giant dragonfly would die, he still felt uncomfortable when he saw it die with his own eyes.

Jiang Xuan looked for a while, then walked to another place, leaving a line of deep footprints in the snow...

In the tourist's house, Jingjie got up early. He sat by the fire with a sad look in his eyes.

“Hopefully everyone will make it to spring.”

Although he said this, past experience told him that even in the old tribes, when they were well prepared, people would die every winter.

Some died of disease, some died of cold, some died of hunger...

It is simply a dream to think that we can take all these one hundred tourists through the winter.

Jingjie said to the tourists in the house: "Stay here and keep each other warm. I will go find the leader of the Teng tribe."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The tourists nodded one after another. In this kind of weather, the animal skins they were wearing were thin and no one wanted to go out and suffer the cold.

Jingjie wrapped his animal skin coat tightly, opened the door, shivered from the cold at first, then gritted his teeth and walked outside resolutely.

It was a pity that he was barefoot in such cold weather. If the soldier was not strong enough, his feet would have been frozen.

After he left, the tourists near the door quickly blocked the door again and propped it up with wooden sticks to prevent it from being blown open by the wind.

After Jing Jie left the house, he immediately saw Jiang Xuan walking in the fields. He braved the cold wind and heavy snow, walking barefoot and chasing after him.

"Chief, Chief..."

Not long after, Jingjie caught up with Jiang Xuan by the pond.

Jiang Xuan took a look at his tattered animal skin clothes and bare feet, and felt a little sad for a moment, but he had to harden his heart.

"What do you want from me when you come out in such cold weather?"

Jiang Xuan held a bone spear in his hand and poked it towards the surface of the pond. A hole was poked in the snow on the water surface, and the thin ice underneath the snow was also broken.

Jingjie said anxiously: "Chief, it's snowing now, and it's hard for us to find food. If this continues, everyone will starve."

"Didn't you say before that there would be a way for us to find food in winter? We want to go find it now."

However, facing Jing Jie's expectant gaze, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "Not yet. It just snowed today, and the animals in the forest haven't starved yet. The ice in the water is too thin."

"Then...then what should we do with our food?"

Jing Jie suddenly became anxious. If they were fooled by Jiang Xuan, more than a hundred tourists might die.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone send you some more food. Together with the food you stored before the snow, it should be enough to last you seven or eight days."

"When the animals in the forest start to starve and the ice in the water freezes thick enough, I will naturally lead you to catch food."

"Chief, you can't lie to us...it will kill people..."

Jingjie's tone was almost begging. He was obviously a very tall man, but now he looked as aggrieved as a young wife.

Jiang Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "I still say that if you starve to death, it will do me no good. Believe me."

"The weather is so cold, let's go back and warm ourselves by the fire, and walk, walk, walk..."

Jiang Xuan pushed Jing Jie back, but Jing Jie was very nervous. He didn't know what fate was waiting for him, but he could only wait.

This is a very painful process.
