Chapter 10 But the orchard was taken away by other tribes



After the witch's tireless teaching over this period of time, Han Cheng was able to understand a lot of what the tribe said.

After a period of silence, the eldest senior brother finally spoke. Through his narration with gestures, Han Cheng basically understood what the eldest senior brother and his friends had encountered today.

Not far from the cave, there is a large fruit forest. The tribe had discovered this forest a long time ago and had been picking fruit for many years.

Although they are called wild, they have actually long been considered the property of the tribe, and a very important one at that.

Including this year, more than half of the fruits in the cave were picked from there.

But today, a group of people from other tribes came from nowhere.

As soon as they arrived, they occupied the forest and drove away the eldest brother and his friends in a very domineering manner.

The eldest brother naturally could not tolerate such an infuriating thing. After a brief discussion, the matter escalated into an armed conflict.

However, this conflict still had some rationality, that is, neither side used weapons, but fought with bare hands.

The outcome of the battle speaks for itself.

The eldest brother led the defeated tribesmen away from the orchard. Even the fruits that had been picked earlier were not allowed to be taken away by the people in the tribe.

“%3%@#!^&^”

The eldest brother, who was both ashamed and angry, spoke excitedly. At the end, he angrily punched his chest twice, turned over from the ground, and prepared to take his men to the woods to fight the people there.

"%#%!"

Wu called out to the eldest senior brother, held him back, looked at him and shook his head slowly, not letting him go again.

The angry eldest brother also fell silent. He understood what the witch meant. He and his men had already been defeated once before. If they went there again, the situation would not change much. Instead, it might cause the tribe members to suffer greater harm.

He was forced by the witch to sit back on the ground, looking dejected.

Everyone else in the tribe looked at the witch, waiting for him to come up with a solution and make a decision.

Wu's expression seemed somewhat solemn. He squatted there, thinking about something.

After a while, he stood up and slowly said to everyone: "#4^*@$!~&..."

Han Cheng referred to the witch's gestures and basically understood what she said by guessing.

The witch meant to abandon that forest and look for fruits somewhere else.

Everyone in the tribe was unwilling to accept such a result, but there was nothing they could do. They were not as strong as others and had to accept the reality that their forest had been taken away by others.

After a moment of silence, the eldest brother straightened his head, said a few words to Wu, and then took his men out again.

This time the witch did not stop them, because the eldest brother and his friends were not going back to the forest, but to look for wild fruits elsewhere.

It was still early, with almost half a day left. After losing the forest as a stable source of food, the eldest brother was unwilling to waste even a moment of time.

After the initial silence, the little primitive people in the cave soon started playing again after the adults left.

They were so young that they didn't quite understand what was happening and what impact it would have on their tribe.

They are still at the age of playing and cannot understand the worries of adults.

Wu returned to his residence and sat down not far from Han Cheng, his face full of thought.

He seemed much more worried than before in front of everyone in the tribe.

What happened in the tribe made Han Cheng feel a little heavy.

The joy brought by discovering that I could move and would not live my whole life like a sculpture has faded a lot.

After living together day and night for a period of time, he has developed a certain dependence and identification with this primitive tribe.

But unfortunately, he is now in a completely sculptured state, and he is powerless to do anything he wants to help.

When it was getting dark, the eldest brother and his group came back. Unlike in the past when they returned with a full load, this time only about half of them had fruits wrapped in animal skins in their hands, and the rest returned empty-handed.

The flames rose and the aroma of barbecue filled the cave. Not long after, the most anticipated dinner began.

Compared to the cheerful atmosphere at previous meals, the atmosphere at today's dinner seemed quite dull.

Everyone ate their food in silence, and few people spoke.

Han Cheng's mouth was able to move a little, and he could chew something slowly and reluctantly.

This unexpected discovery brought a smile to Wu's face.

As the night deepened, the firelight in the cave dimmed and everyone went to bed one after another. The cave was exceptionally quiet tonight, and even the primitive songs that used to be heard were gone.

The next morning, after breakfast, the eldest brother took some hunting tools and animal skins for wrapping fruits and led his men out of the cave.

Because they needed to look for fruits elsewhere and might encounter various dangers on the way, which was not as safe as the forest they were familiar with before, they brought a lot of hunting tools for self-defense.

Near noon, the eldest brother came back with his men. Everyone in the team brought fruit. This made many people in the team smile, unlike the silence before.

After a short rest, the team set out again, but this time they left four female primitives behind.

For a moment, Han Cheng didn't understand why his senior brother made such arrangements.

It was not until almost evening when they came back from outside carrying seven or eight fish that Han Cheng understood what was going on.

It turned out that the prey they had caught previously was not enough for tomorrow's meal, so the eldest brother asked them to stay and fish.

Today, the eldest brother and his companions brought back three loads of fruit. It seemed like a lot, but Han Cheng made a comparison and found that the fruit picked in this day was not even half of the previous day...

The days passed one by one, and the autumn became more and more intense. Although Han Cheng could not see the scenery outside, he could imagine what the scene was like outside from the increasingly cooler and even cold temperature.

He could actually feel the temperature now, because two not very large pieces of burnt shells had fallen off his face, revealing some skin.

The joy of his body gradually recovering made Han Cheng ignore his legendary thick-skinned state.

Now Wu no longer needs to make the food into a paste. Han Cheng can now chew some food by himself. Although he eats slower than Wu, the joy of chewing is far beyond what he could ever achieve by drinking paste.

In the following days, the eldest brother, who had a big meal, took his tribesmen, who had also had a big meal, to the forest, ready to take back what belonged to them.

Unfortunately, they lost again.

I can only continue to search for fruits all over the mountains and plains...
