On the first day of the fifteenth year of Qingque, the entire Qingque tribe was immersed in the joy of the festival.

"Happy New Year"

"Happy New Year."

Greetings filled with festive atmosphere continue to ring out here, and listening to them makes people feel particularly comfortable in their hearts.

"Look, there seems to be someone there!"

Near noon, someone pointed at a place and shouted loudly, with some doubt in his voice.

Han Cheng, who was standing on the ice of the stream, playing with a spinning top with a whip in his hand among a group of children, stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction the man pointed when he heard the shout.

Sure enough, at a distance from the tribe, there was a group of people stepping on the snow, coming towards here with difficulty.

Han Cheng squinted his eyes and looked for a while, and concluded that these people were not from his tribe.

It's not just the clothes these people are wearing, but also the staggering and weak way they walk.

After looking at it for a few seconds, Han Cheng lowered his head.

Seeing that his spinning top was about to stop spinning, he quickly whipped it several times to revive it.

The rest of the people outside the tribe basically didn't react much. After taking a few glances at the newcomers, they continued with their own things.

This is not only because they found that there were too few people coming, but also because the Qingque tribe is already very powerful and cannot be threatened by just a few people.

Another important reason was that after a short while, more than twenty people, carrying weapons and riding donkeys, came out of the tribe and headed towards these people.

The donkey cavalry in the tribe were dispatched. Even if the person coming here really had some problems, he would no longer have any problems facing the elite donkey cavalry in the tribe.

This is not boasting or blind self-confidence, but because the people of the Qingque tribe truly have the strength and qualifications.

The donkey cavalry stopped in front of these people. After a while, someone turned the donkey's head around, urged the donkey to trot forward, and ran towards the main tribe.

As for the rest of the people, they all turned their donkeys around and controlled them to slowly move towards the tribe.

Behind them, the leader of the Song tribe and others followed in the snow...

In a large shed within the Qingque tribe, there was a fire burning and several clay stoves.

Some of the stoves are filled with copper pots, while others are filled with copper kettles.

There was clean water in it, which was now boiling and emitting hot steam.

Whether you use it to drink or scoop some into a basin and add some cold water to wash your hands, face, or fruits, it is very good.

The leader of the Song tribe and others were sitting in the shed at this time. Each of them held a large pottery bowl in his hand and kept sipping the hot water from it.

After warming myself by the fire and drinking a bowl of hot tea, my body, which had been frozen stiff and seemed to have lost all feeling, finally recovered slowly.

Just as he had recovered, the leader of the Song tribe became anxious again.

He carefully put down the tea bowl in his hand, stood up with his hands on his knees, and walked outside.

He wanted to see the Son of God again, and begged him to send someone to their tribe immediately to pick up everyone in their tribe...

When we walked out of the greenhouse, we saw a number of strange-looking vehicles that had been brought to the square by the Green Bird tribe.

Many people were busy here, moving pots, pans, food, furs and other things on top of these things.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Song tribe couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and he became completely relaxed.

Not only did he understand, but the people of the Qingque tribe were also making all-out preparations, ready to go to their own tribe to pick up the remaining people from their tribe.

What’s more important is that when the leader of the Song tribe saw these tools in front of him, he remembered that the Qingque tribe had such things that could be dragged by large animals to move forward in the snow!

It is said that people can move forward by sitting on this thing without walking, and it is much faster than walking in the snow!

The leader of the Song tribe, who had been worried that some of his people would die of starvation and freezing if they were late to welcome him, naturally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this...

Han Cheng's face was full of smiles. The new year started with accepting the surrender of the rest of the tribes. This was really a very good omen!

Such a New Year's gift really makes people feel sincerely happy!

Naturally, Han Cheng had no reason to refuse such a gift that was delivered to his door.

So after understanding the meaning of the leader of the Song tribe and knowing the situation that the Song tribe was currently facing, Han Cheng did not hesitate at all and immediately began to arrange for people to make preparations so that they could set off for the Song tribe as soon as possible.

Because from now on, the people of Song tribe are already part of their own tribe!

Every loss of one person is equivalent to one less person in his tribe. How could Han Cheng bear to let such a thing happen?

It took about an hour and everything from the preparation of relief supplies to the deployment of personnel was ready.

Some prepared meals and other things had already been prepared at this time and were being carried over from the kitchen.

This was what Han Cheng arranged immediately after learning about what Song said, so that those who went to rescue could have food.

After eating breakfast, they can set off earlier and pick up the people earlier.

As for the fact that today is New Year's Day and we don't have to work and need to rest, these things are nothing compared to saving lives.

There were fifty people who went to rescue this time. Han Cheng, the Son of God, and the leader, the eldest brother, stayed well in the tribe and did not participate in it.

The people in the tribe are now experienced and have many manpower that can be mobilized to take on some big tasks.

For things like this, there is no need for Han Cheng, the eldest senior brother and others to take action. We just need to arrange some people to do it properly.

After eating, the fifty people, led by their leader, harnessed the donkeys to the sled, and then drove the donkeys out of the tribe.

The leader of the Song tribe also got on a sled, sat on it and was pulled forward by the sled.

Han Cheng didn't want the leader of the Song tribe to go back. There were people in the tribe who knew the way from here to the Song tribe, and there was more than one person.

The leader of the Song tribe had been exhausted from walking on ice and snow all the way here.

The best thing now is to have a good rest in your own tribe, don’t go anywhere else, and don’t suffer in this ice and snow.

The leader of the Song tribe refused to agree no matter what and insisted on going with the people of the Qingque tribe.

After listening to the translation, Han Cheng understood what he meant.

He said that two more people from their tribe were on the way, and there were still many people waiting in the tribe.

When I came here, I had already told them that I would go to pick them up.

Han Cheng originally didn't want him to go.

But after hearing him say this and seeing how persistent he was, I finally agreed.

Looking at the leader of the Song tribe sitting on a sled, leaving the tribe and heading into the distance in the wind and snow, Han Cheng couldn't help but smile.

The leader of the Song tribe is a pretty good guy. He is a loyal and responsible person.

Only such a person can be entrusted with important tasks with confidence!

When the time comes for him to come back with the rescue team, he will completely join his own tribe, become familiar with his tribe's way of life, and then find some experience in affairs. Then, he will be a talent that can be used!

…

Hold on! You must hold on!

I am traveling with the people of the Green Bird Tribe, bringing lots of food and something that can run on the snow, so you don't have to walk at all!

Sitting on a sled in the howling cold wind, with a furry and extremely warm hat on his head, gloves on his hands, and a layer of black linen covering his eyes, the leader of the Song tribe clenched his fists and kept repeating this in his mind.

I was extremely nervous and anxious.

He was not worried about those who remained in the tribe.

With these things called sleds, the people in the tribe can hold on until they can get there, and there will basically be no problem.

What worried him the most were the two people who, because of their inconvenient mobility, took the initiative to ask to leave the main group and walk at the back in order not to drag everyone down.

He was really worried that something might happen to these two people!

Sitting on the sled, the nervous leader of the Song tribe muttered to himself while stretching his neck to look forward and around, dreaming of seeing the figures of these two people from his tribe.

Then, all I could see was white, with no trace of them at all.

This made the leader of the Song tribe even more anxious...

The sled in front stopped and some voices were heard.

The leading sled stopped, and the other sleds following behind also slowly stopped.

The leader of the Song tribe, who had been looking anxiously, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

He quickly stood up from the stopped sled and looked ahead on tiptoe.

Because there were so many people standing there, it was hard to see what was happening there.

The leader of the Song tribe kept comforting himself while getting off the sled and moving quickly forward.

Not far ahead of the front sled, leading to the Song Tribe, there were some dark shadows.

There were some snowflakes falling on the black shadow.

At first glance, one would think it was a stone standing in the middle of the road, or some wild animal that had frozen to death and was standing there.

But if you look closely you'll find clues.

Those were not rocks or wild beasts at all, but humans!

Not one, but two!

One of them was lying on the ground, and it looked like he had fallen down. The other one was sitting next to him, as if protecting him.

From their postures, it can be roughly inferred that it is very likely that one person fell to the ground and was unable to stand up for a while.

The other person, who also didn't have much strength, couldn't help him up, so he sat down here, wanting to wait for the person who fell to the ground to recover some strength, and then get up and continue walking together.

As a result, once it stopped, it could never stand up again. It became eternal and became a sculpture-like existence.

The leader of the Song tribe was trembling all over.

He used his frostbitten hands to brush the snow off the two people, moving very gently, as if he was worried about disturbing them.

Looking at the faces of the two people and touching their ice-sculpture-like bodies, the leader of the Song tribe finally couldn't control his emotions.

His legs went limp and he sat down on the snow, looking at the two of them and burst into tears in front of everyone.

Bringing food and a chance to live, but the person you care about has already died, this result is the most painful...

The sled team that had stopped set off again, with four people sitting on each sled.

Apart from the person driving the car, the remaining people were the leader of the Song tribe, and the other two were the two people from the Song tribe who were standing in a dead position.

The leader of the Song tribe begged the leader to allow him to take the two people with him, because he was worried that if he left them here, they would be discovered and eaten by some wild beasts when they came back.

He wanted to take these two people to the Qingque tribe and burn them there.

They had followed him to the Qingque tribe before, but died on the way. He wanted to use this method to get them to the Qingque tribe...

…

The cold wind was howling, and a long team of sleds crushed the snow all the way towards the Qingque tribe.

The sled that seemed empty when you went there was now full of people or things.

The people sitting here are from the Song tribe.

The weather was still cold and snow was falling, but these people were no longer panicking.

Sitting on the sled, they watched the donkey moving on its four legs, and felt the warmth from its soft fur, and they felt a deep sense of peace...

In the snow and wind, in another direction, there was a group of people braving the cold and walking forward on the snow.

There were about a dozen people in the group.

Although they and the people of the Qingque tribe who were returning with the sled team carrying the people of the Song tribe were not in the same place, their destination was the same, the Qingque main tribe.

The leader of the Stone Tribe walked in the team, leaning on a weapon that served as a walking stick in one hand, and rubbing his eyes with the other hand, which he had blinked hard several times.

The leader of the Stone Tribe did not look strong and was not conspicuous among the group of people heading towards the Green Bird Tribe.

But he was still able to become the leader of the Stone Tribe and had extremely high prestige in the tribe.

To be able to achieve such an achievement, the leader of the Stone Tribe must have extraordinary qualities.

He was different from other tribal leaders who relied on their physical strength to rise to power. What he relied on, and what convinced the people in the tribe to obey him, was his wisdom...
