"#¥g!"
After searching for a while, the leader of the Huangguo tribe, whose hands and feet were frozen and had little feeling, finally decided to lead his people back to the tribe.
The harvested food was still not much, and if a lot of water was added, it would barely be enough for the people in the tribe to have a meal.
But he didn't dare to search any further. If he continued searching, they, who had been hungry for a long time, might freeze to death in the snow and ice.
The people of the Huangguo tribe who followed their leader breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the order given by their leader.
Finally, I don’t have to suffer here anymore!
With very little gain, everyone turned around and headed quickly towards where the tribe was.
Compared to the slow pace before, these people's steps were much faster at this time, including the leader.
This pace finally slowed down as they approached the tribe.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe looked at the pitiful amount of harvest he was carrying, and then thought about the people in the cave who were enduring hunger and waiting for him to bring back enough food, and he felt a little unable to move.
He didn't want to see the scene of the pregnant minors in the tribe crying from hunger, and he didn't want to see the people he knew die of hunger, and he and others would eat the starving people in order to survive...
However, what was distressing was that he could not find enough food...
If the weather continues to get colder, it won't be long before everything he doesn't want to see will happen.
And according to the current trend, it is certain that the weather will continue to be cold for some time.
At this time, the leader of the Huangguo tribe once again thought of the tribe that brought many good things and remembered what they conveyed to him.
If the people from that tribe were here at this moment, he would definitely choose to leave with them and go to that tribe that sounded better than the best scene he had ever dreamed of...
However, all this was impossible because the people of that tribe had already left, and based on past experience, it would take a long time for them to come back.
By that time, many people in my tribe might have died of starvation and cold...
The leader of the Huangguo tribe, feeling heavy-hearted, suddenly stopped. He rubbed his sore and swollen eyes with his stiff hands, thinking he had seen it wrong.
After rubbing his eyes and blinking hard twice, the deer and the wolves that were living with the deer were still there.
They heard the noise, and many of them turned their heads to look at him and others.
Are you from that tribe?
The people from that tribe are coming at this time? !
Disbelief filled the mind of the leader of the Huangguo tribe.
Not only him, but also the people of the Huangguo tribe, who were already numb from the cold, were filled with disbelief.
Didn't they leave already? Why are they here again at this time?
After the disbelief, there was joy from the bottom of the heart, because the people of that tribe were always so rich and kind, and their arrival at this time would always bring them some food.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe was stunned for a moment, then quickened his pace towards the cave.
When passing by these deer and wolves, the leader of the Huangguo tribe slowed down his pace, fearing that he would be attacked by these wolves.
What nice deer and wolves are! They are still so fat in this weather. How great it would be if we could kill them and eat their meat?
We don't need too many. Just killing half of them will be enough to help our tribe get through this difficult time.
And it's a very wealthy way of life where one can eat meat every day without having to be too frugal.
This sudden thought made the Huangguo tribe leader's heart skip a beat.
However, the people of that tribe obviously would not allow them to kill these deer and wolves for meat.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe thought with some regret, and his excitement was replaced by depression again.
If we kill all the people in that tribe...
In this way, these deer and wolves, as well as the precious salt, pottery, and durable food they carry, will all belong to their own tribe!
The leader of the Huangguo tribe trembled and his heart began to beat wildly.
The people of that tribe were so friendly, they must have never thought that I would bring people to kill them.
Moreover, they were now in the cave of their tribe, completely defenseless, and their numbers were not particularly large...
The leader of the Huangguo tribe became more and more excited the more he thought about it. Fear and excitement intertwined together, causing his body, which was already shivering from the cold, to tremble even more violently at this time.
If they don't kill them, their tribe will be short of food, and all the things they can exchange have been used up. They can only follow them and join their tribe to survive...
If there is a way, generally no tribal leader would be willing to lead his tribe, give up his cave, take his people, leave the familiar place, go to an unfamiliar place, and join another tribe.
The difficulty in leaving one's hometown has existed since primitive society. On the one hand, it is due to the attachment to familiar places, and on the other hand, it is due to the fear of the unknown.
"You're back?"
A sound was heard at the entrance of the cave. Shang, Mao and other members of the trading team saw the people from the Huangguo tribe returning from afar, and came out of the cave.
Beside them were the women and children from the Huangguo tribe who stayed in the cave.
At this time, it looked like the trading team of the Qingque tribe were more like the masters of the tribe, while the leader of the Huangguo tribe and others who had returned from looking for food looked like guests from afar.
The voices and the movement at the entrance of the cave startled the leader of the Huangguo tribe who was lost in his fantasy. The image of eating venison in his mind was immediately shattered.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe turned his head and looked at the cave entrance. The hot blood of those strong men holding yellow, strange weapons in their hands immediately subsided a lot.
Looking at Shang and the others who were strong and full of energy, and then turning his head to look at the tribesmen who were following him, who had not eaten well all winter and were now extremely weak from being cold and hungry, the leader of the Huangguo tribe felt his heart tremble again after comparing the two.
In this situation, the people from his own tribe may not be able to defeat these people.
He stood there for a while, composed himself, and led his men to greet Shang and others who had become the hosts.
The minors of the Huangguo tribe glanced at the returning leader of the Huangguo tribe and others, and felt relieved when they saw the pitifully small harvest.
Fortunately, these kind people came, otherwise they would have been hungry again today and tomorrow.
“¥%#…”
This thought flashed through the minors' minds for a moment, and then they let out joyful shouts.
Jiang Shang and his companions were willing to cook food for free and entertain the leaders of the Huangguo tribe.
There was joy in his voice, and his whole body was filled with pride and honor, as if the food used to entertain the leaders also contained a part of their strength.
The adult women who stayed in the cave felt similar to the minors.
They smiled and told the leader of the Huangguo tribe about the kindness and generosity of the people of the Qingque tribe...
When they heard about food, the people who came back with the leader of the Huangguo tribe all had shining eyes, and they didn't notice the somewhat strange atmosphere at all.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe suppressed the thought that made him tremble involuntarily and returned to the cave with everyone else...
