Cao Gen raised his face, which was full of cuts from the cold wind, and wiped his frozen nose with his hands, which looked no better, and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a companion pointing at a tall pine tree and shouting excitedly.

Cao Gen and the other two people ran over quickly and found a fist-sized hole in the pine tree about two meters high.

Seeing the tree hole, the grass roots also grinned, happy for their companions' good luck.

They first found a not-too-big stone nearby and lifted it up from the ground with a stick.

After resting for a while on another stone, the person who first discovered the tree hole held him up, and the three grass roots people pushed him up from under the tree.

The cold and hunger made their bodies stiff and weak, otherwise they could climb up the tree by themselves without anyone pushing them.

The man climbed up the tree, put his feet on a horizontal branch, and held a slightly rested stone in his other hand, chopping and hitting the hole in the pine tree.

After enlarging the hole in the tree, he moved the stone to the hand that was around the tree trunk, and started digging with a smile on his face.

Amid the squeaking sound of some animal, he pulled his arm out of the tree hole, holding five or six large chestnuts in his hand.

"%￥…&!"

With a smile and a hint of showing off, he lowered his head and shouted to the people who were pulling the animal skins below, then threw the chestnuts in his hand down.

Then he continued to reach into the tree hole.

Amid the curses of two big-tailed squirrels who took the opportunity to run out and were jumping and squeaking on the branches, he continued to stretch out his arms to take out the hard-earned gains of the squirrel couple.

As for the protests of the two squirrels, no one would pay attention to them. If possible, Cao Gen and his team wanted to catch the two squirrels and take them back together.

There are many things stored in the squirrel holes, in addition to chestnuts, there are also pine nuts, acorns and other things, all of which are dried.

It took up most of the animal skin to wrap it.

This was more than they had gained in three or four days of searching.

The man on the tree used stones to smash the tree hole for a while. After confirming that he could not further expand the tree hole, he had to regretfully give up the remaining food in the tree hole and slipped down the tree.

Together with the three grass roots, holding sticks and carrying a full harvest, they headed towards the cave.

The two squirrels stood on the branch, jumping up and down and cursing the four lawless robbers who walked away in a swagger. After a while, they stopped talking helplessly and slid down the tree trunk to see their unrecognizable home.

“Squeak…”

Before they returned to the cave entrance, the two squirrels stopped, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and jumped towards the top of the pine tree.

Standing on a high branch, he looked in horror at the larger number of terrifying robbers that appeared under the tree.

The three leaders of the Tengshe tribe stood under the pine tree, looking at the newly opened squirrel hole and the two squirrels that did not sleep in the tree hole in the middle of winter but ran outside to freeze, then looked at the footprints that had just been left along the way and the small black dots in the distance, and smiles appeared on their faces.

He waited here for a while, called two people and asked them to follow the trail.

He took the rest of the people and found a sheltered place to wait for the result.

After a while, the two men came back and reported the situation to the three leaders of the Tengshe tribe.

After listening to this, the three leaders of the Tengshe tribe nodded, left a mark here that they could understand, waited for a while, and then started to move in the originally planned direction.

This newly discovered tribe was lucky. The Tengshe tribe had no shortage of food this year, otherwise they would not have been let off so easily.

However, this does not mean that their luck will always be good in the future. The Tengshe tribe usually uses the strategy of discovering a tribe and waiting until the tribe runs out of food before attacking it.

So far, we have rarely failed. The worst time was when we attacked the tribe that lived in a very strange place a few days ago when it snowed...

The three leaders of the Tengshe tribe thought about this in their minds as they trudged through the snow with some difficulty, carrying baskets woven from grass and their people.

In their backpacks, apart from fruits and meat, the rest was just a kind of green grass that was somewhat black.

Turning their heads to look at the grass in the backpack, the three leaders of the Tengshe tribe couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

If it weren't for these grasses, he would be staying in the warm cave now, roasting fire and eating barbecue. Why would he lead people on a long journey through this ice and snow?

These grasses are the favorite food of the little monster with an ever-growing appetite.

The little monster with hair on his body and a single horn on his head has grown to be quite big, and his favorite thing to do is to follow the witch.

It's strange to say, the witch, who is not very interested in female primitive people, is extremely fond of this little monster that looks a little scary.

So when the weather was getting colder and heavy snow could fall at any time, he led his men away from the tribe and went to a tribe that they had attacked before to dig this grass.

That little monster should be killed and eaten by humans, and its furry skin is really warm to wear.

Of course, he was just thinking about this kind of thing in his mind. In their tribe, basically no one dared to question the witch's decision or act against the witch's orders.

"%#￥!"

After walking for a while, the third leader of the Tengshe tribe took out something wrapped in layers of animal skin from a smaller straw basket hanging around his waist.

Layers of animal skin opened up, revealing something that looked like a skull.

Inside the skull, there is some white solid, somewhat similar to a frozen human brain.

The three leaders of the Tengshe tribe scooped out some white solids with their fingers and smeared them on the hands of those who stopped at his command.

The people of the Tengshe tribe took the white solid in their hands with great care, put it into their palms, spread it with their hands, and evenly applied it on the exposed skin on their faces and hands.

The three leaders of the Tengshe tribe dug out more, and after smearing it, they used their slightly sticky hands to wrap the skull with leather again and carefully put it back into the straw basket around their waists.

These things are the biggest reliance of the Tengshe tribe, which makes them dare to go out in the middle of winter.

With this thing, they will no longer be afraid of the cold north wind.

No matter how cold your body is, your hands and face will be frozen and cracked, leaving them in a state of disfigurement.

This thing was given to him by the witch. In the entire tribe, only the witch knew how to make such a precious thing...
