In the season when the rape flowers were somewhat withering, the eldest brother led the people of the tribe and headed towards the Bone Tribe.

The road was easier to walk than when he went to the Bone Tribe to attend the joyous gathering in the past.

This was done over the past year or so, as people from the Bone Tribe have been running to the Green Bird Tribe more frequently, using their feet and the bone knives in their hands to open up the land.

Although it is just a narrow path, it is more convenient than opening a new road.

As dusk fell, the eldest brother led everyone to find an open place, started a fire with dry firewood picked up along the way, and made some hot food to eat.

According to Han Cheng's calculations, the location near the Qingque tribe should be in the mid-to-north latitudes and belong to the temperate zone.

Although there are many primitive and vast forests in such areas, forests are not everywhere. It is not too difficult to find some places where only grass or some low shrubs grow.

After all, this is not a tropical area, and the vegetation grows like crazy all year round.

Fortunately, this is a temperate zone with distinct four seasons. Otherwise, the number of tribes living on this land would be reduced by at least half.

Although severe winters can bring disaster to the people living here, they can also curb the growth and reproduction of various bacteria and germs.

In comparison, the severe winter is much more lovable than the various diseases that make people shudder. After all, as long as there is enough food, you can survive the winter, but the diseases are very different...

The bonfire flickered, dispelling the darkness and shining its light far away.

A large number of the party had gone to sleep, leaving five men to keep watch and keep the fire burning.

In the distance, a wild beast smelled the scent of prey and saw the fire from afar. After hesitating for a while, it left.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, everyone left after dinner and continued to head towards the Bone Tribe...

The sun is a very selfless thing. It has a broad mind and does not discriminate against the poor or favor the rich.

The Qingque tribe with its high walls was shrouded by it, and the Bone tribe living in caves was also bathed in the sunshine of the new day.

The leader of the Bone Tribe finished his meal, put down his bowl and shook his head a few times.

This was the aftereffect of being slammed into the head by the second senior brother with a slingshot under the Qingque tribe.

The wound on his forehead had stopped bleeding long ago. A thick scab had formed there, and the surrounding area was a little red and swollen.

He shook his head and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the cave where there were fewer people.

Among those who came back, one died yesterday.

When he died, he was no longer able to look at himself. Half of his body was rotten and maggots were crawling on it...

He deeply regretted his rash decision to attack the tribe, and this regret was most intense in the first two or three days.

As time went by, the feeling of regret gradually became less intense, and another emotion arose and became stronger and stronger.

This emotion is hate.

He hated the people of that wealthy tribe for being so cruel and for bringing their tribe to its current state.

Although I wanted to rob you, I didn't realize it. How could you be so cruel...

Although he thought so, he didn't dare to do anything to that tribe.

At the beginning, in addition to regret, there was another strong emotion filling his and many other people of the Bone Tribe's chests.

That feeling is fear.

They were worried that the wealthy and terrifying tribe would chase and attack them. For this reason, after returning with heavy losses, the leader of the Bone Tribe had the idea of ​​moving more than once.

It was not until recent days that this idea was gradually suppressed.

Relocation is not easy for the tribe.

First, there must be a suitable place to live, and secondly, there must be a suitable place for hunting near the residence.

Not to mention anything else, just these two points are enough to make people consider them carefully.

What's more, their tribe has lost too many adults. If they migrate, it will be extremely difficult for them to take root in a new place and live the same life as now. Even more people may die.

Despite all these hesitations, the leader of the Bone Tribe did not decide to migrate.

In the first few days, like everyone else in the tribe, they lived in fear, leaving a large number of people to guard the cave every day, for fear that the Green Bird Tribe would come to attack them.

Several days passed, but no one from the Green Bird Tribe came. The worries of the people from the Bone Tribe about this matter finally subsided.

By now, the leader of the Bone Tribe was sure that the Green Bird Tribe would not attack them again.

During this period of time, he has figured out a lot of things.

The biggest reason why the people of his own tribe suffered such heavy losses was not the weapons used by that tribe that he had never seen before, but the tall and disgusting wall.

Without the wall, the tribe wasn't very powerful.

Otherwise, why wouldn't they attack their own tribe?

"#2DFRT$"

He was thinking about these things, and seeing that everyone in the tribe had already eaten, he called on everyone to follow him out hunting.

All the able-bodied men went, and including him there were twenty-one people in all.

The rest were some who were injured, some who were old and weak, some who had huge bellies...all together there were sixteen people.

These are all adults.

There were fourteen minors who were able to work, and their task was to dig and pick some edible wild vegetables and roots near the tribe.

Use a stick to stick some fish in the river.

After arranging these things, the leader of the Bone Tribe set out with the hunters.

The rest of the people followed the instructions of the Bone Tribe leader and scattered around the tribe to do things. Only three old and frail elders were left in the cave to take care of the fire, and there were some babies crawling around...

Time passed little by little, and after the sun reached due south, it continued to move westward without stopping.

During this long period of time, some of the people who were digging wild vegetables around the tribe have returned to the caves.

There were a few fish lying on the grass on the shore next to the people spearing fish. This was the result of their work for the whole morning.

Looking at these poor fish, those of them who had been to the Green Bird Tribe couldn't help but imagine the scene of piles of fish in their minds.

I really don't know how they caught so many fish.

How great it would be if my tribe had so many fish.

How nice it would be if I could live in that tribe...

She thought about it and shook her head. This was impossible. Not to mention that her tribe had already been at odds with them, even if that wasn't the case, the leader wouldn't have taken them there...

She rested for a while, threw the idea out of her mind, held the harpoon made of a stick, looked into the river, and then went to watch the fish swimming.

She was so focused on the fish that she didn't know that a group of people had quietly approached her tribe...
