The eldest brother led the eight men and twelve women of the tribe to walk in the snow. The oppressive cold made them all huddle.

There was a small icicle hanging on the beard of the second brother, who had a big belly and loved to drool.

The group of people trudged through the snow with difficulty. The cold, hunger and long distance walking had already consumed all their strength and calories.

The mood in the team was low.

All the strong laborers in the tribe went out to work in the freezing snow for a whole day, but all they got were two skinny pheasants...

Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their spirits could be high.

The eldest brother who was in the lead seemed very depressed and worried. He was the leader of the tribe and needed to worry about and be responsible for a series of things.

Without food, the pressure on him was great.

It seems that we have no choice but to continue reducing the food supply. In addition to the few people whose food was reduced at the beginning, the children in the tribe and the women who are weak and cannot survive in the snow for a long time all need to have their food distribution reduced.

The little food available should be eaten by the strong ones. Only in this way can enough strength be preserved to find food for the tribe and allow the tribe to survive.

The eldest brother did not want to implement such a method. If possible, he would like everyone in the tribe to have enough food to eat, but the reality is...

The familiar cave is right in front of me. Inside the cave there is a warm fire, warm hay and furs, and my own tribesmen.

But the eldest brother seemed a little hesitant. He didn't want to bring back the sad news of no prey to the tribe...

The blocked cave door suddenly opened, and a group of children and the women who were left behind rushed out.

They cheered and ran towards the eldest brother and others who had returned from hunting.

When the eldest brother saw this scene, his mood became even more depressed.

From the current situation, he could guess that the tribesmen who stayed in the cave must have been hiding at the cave entrance, looking eagerly through the gaps left behind, hoping that he and others would return from hunting and bring back enough food so that the people in the tribe would no longer starve.

only……

But I only brought back two skinny pheasants...

He looked at the cheering crowd rushing towards them, and for a moment he actually had the urge to flee.

"leader!"

"leader!"

The children in the tribe ran up, greeted the eldest brother, and then ran towards their parents in the team.

The eldest brother was a little surprised, because these children who ran over and the women who stayed in the cave did not show deep disappointment when they saw that the team did not bring back any prey, as he had imagined.

When the eldest brother saw the witch standing at the entrance of the cave looking at them, his heart warmed. Needless to say, the witch must have given instructions in advance because he was worried that he and others would feel uncomfortable.

Thinking this way, he ignored the woman who was about to speak but hesitated, quickened his pace to the cave entrance, bent down to the witch who was looking at him peacefully and smiled, and respectfully called out: "Wu."

The voice seemed a little low, full of guilt, shame and warmth.

Wu smiled and reached out to touch his head, patted his shoulder and said: "Go back, it's warm"

The eldest brother's eyes were a little moist. He nodded vigorously, lowered his head slightly, and entered the cave.

The witch stood at the entrance of the cave, touched the head of each person who came back, and said, "Go back, it's warm."

This was an encouragement for them to go out in the cold and hunt for the tribe.

Han Cheng stood aside and watched, nodding secretly at the witch's wisdom. After he did this, the atmosphere of the entire hunting team improved greatly, and everyone became more united.

"fish?!"

“So many fish?!”

Hearing the eldest brother's unbelievable exclamation coming from the cave, everyone who knew the inside story, including the witch and many children, laughed happily.

Among them, the one who laughed the happiest was Lame, who laughed until tears came out.

Hearing the eldest brother's exclamation and seeing the expressions of the people who stayed in the cave, the others who did not enter the cave could not help but become curious about what happened in the tribe on the day they went out hunting. How could there be fish?

Looking at the hundreds of fish piled together in the cave, everyone who had returned from hunting outside was stunned.

They couldn't understand why there were suddenly so many fish in the tribe when there were no fish now?

Of course, not everyone was extremely shocked. For example, after the initial shock, the second brother's mouth immediately started drooling...

"Wu, this... this..."

The eldest brother didn't know what to say for a moment and asked Wu about the matter.

Wu's face was full of smiles. He pointed at Han Cheng who was standing on the side, and then at Bo who seemed a little reserved at the moment, and began to talk...

The fire in the cave was lit, and the aroma of grilled fish spread in the cave. The depressing atmosphere caused by the previous food crisis was swept away, and the cheerful atmosphere infected everyone.

The eldest brother was very lucky tonight and took out forty fish this time.

To let the people in the cave who had not had a proper meal for a long time have a full meal.

Forty fish were roasted and piled high on the stone slab where food was usually placed.

The eldest brother first selected a grilled fish of suitable size and was very delicate, then held it in both hands and gave it to the witch who had returned to the deepest part of the cave.

Then he came back, but instead of taking some food and leaving with his family as he did before, he carefully selected a fish about one foot long, held it in both hands and walked towards Han Cheng.

He bent down to Han Cheng and said, "Fish, eat."

Han Cheng waved his hands at the eldest senior brother, indicating that he didn't need to do so, but the eldest senior brother insisted on not doing so. Han Cheng had no choice but to take the grilled fish from him with a smile.

The eldest brother returned to the food pile again, and this time he picked out the largest fish, which was more than two feet long and weighed nearly ten kilograms.

Just when everyone thought that the eldest brother was going to take the biggest fish away and eat it, something unexpected happened.

The eldest brother held the fish in both hands, walked to the outermost lame man, bent down to him and said, "Fish, eat."

Bo was confused by the eldest brother's behavior. He waved his hands and shook his head nervously.

The eldest brother put the fish directly into his arms and said, "Eat."

Then he smiled and touched Lame's head, then went back to get food for himself.

Bo stood there holding the biggest fish, dazed for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears...
