Where there is fire, there are people, because no animal other than man can start a fire.

Of course, except for will-o'-the-wisp and some other things.

But who would light a fire outside at a time like this?

Mao stared at the fire not too far away and thought in his mind.

There was no tribe in that place, Mao was very sure of this.

"Let's go, where are we going?"

After eating some dried meat, stuffing some snow into his mouth and taking a short rest, Mao made this decision.

He had no plans to set up a tent or make a fire to heat up some food here for the time being.

Because if we light a fire here, it will definitely be seen by the people there.

If the people over there are as evil as those in the Tengshe tribe, then things will not be good.

After all, there were only five of them now, and they were tired and hungry.

This area is relatively open. If we bypass here and rest somewhere else, it will delay the journey a lot, which is obviously not what Mao wants to see.

After thinking about it, he decided to lead his men to quietly go to the fire to check out the situation.

After several years of experience, especially after being followed and ambushed by the Tengshe tribe, Mao has become much more cautious.

Several people quietly approached the fire. The closer they got, the more careful they moved.

Four people were gathered around the fire, warming themselves by it. Their faces could not be seen clearly in the flickering light, but they looked familiar.

Mao's heart skipped a beat and an idea came to his mind.

But he quickly suppressed this thought. After all, the Son of God and the others didn't know that they were in trouble. Why would people from his tribe come here at this time?

Although he thought so, Mao's desire to get closer and see more clearly became more urgent.

Because he had a vague expectation in his heart.

“Crack~”

The dead branches covered under the snow were stepped on by one of them, making a not-so-loud sound, at least the people who were sitting around the fire couldn't hear it.

"Woo woo~"

Just as Mao was celebrating, a fierce and strange wolf howl suddenly sounded from the other side.

At the same time, several dark shadows pounced here.

Hearing the sound and feeling the oppressive momentum, Mao and his companions were not frightened at all. Instead, they excitedly rushed towards the barking black shadow.

It's someone from the tribe!

It's someone from the tribe!

He and the other four people were extremely excited. Neither the severe cold nor the snowy wind could make them give in. However, at this moment, they wanted to cry.

The dogs' sudden reaction made Junior Brother Sha and the others who were on guard become alert all of a sudden.

They quickly stood up, and the three of them ran towards the direction where the dog was going with bronze spears in their hands. Junior Brother Sha, who was a little behind, had already taken out a bow and put an arrow on it. After pulling the bowstring, he aimed it in the direction where the dog was going.

Be prepared to let go immediately if there is any danger.

However, the next scene made Junior Brother Sha stunned, because the dog, which pounced forward in an extremely ferocious posture, suddenly changed its barking after approaching those who appeared not too far from the tent, and became the kind of barking that it made when it met an acquaintance.

"It's us! It's us!"

Then there were excited voices coming from the other side.

"trade?"

Junior Brother Sha was stunned by the voice and shouted in disbelief...

The quiet camp suddenly became lively, and everyone surrounded Mao and others who suddenly appeared and kept asking for information.

"You didn't come back, and the Son of God thought you were in danger, so he asked us to come and take you back..."

"If you don't come back, we'll be so worried... The Son of God wanted to come too..."

"We have all drunk Green Bird wine. We are from the same tribe. The Son of God said that people in a tribe should help each other. When a tribe member is in danger, the others should lend a hand..."

After asking about the situation on Mao's side, the people who came with the eldest brother and the others began to talk to Mao and the others.

On the other side, someone was cooking for them in a pot with a lot of dried meat and other things in it.

"Drink some of this to warm you up..."

The eldest brother stuffed a small wine jar into Mao's hand and asked them to take turns drinking some.

Because it takes some time for the food to be ready.

The Mao people, who had been holding back their tears, finally couldn't help but shed tears.

It feels so good to be cared for, and it feels so good to meet people in the tribe.

All the previous panic and anxiety, as well as some fear of death, disappeared.

At this time, they only felt an incomparable peace of mind.

Because they know that they are no longer alone at this time.

Their dangers, their burdens, these men will bear with them.

Don't abandon anyone!

So this is the tribe!

This feeling was something they had never experienced before in their original tribe...

After eating, Mao and others took a short rest. Before they even had time to sit down, they told everyone that they wanted to return overnight to look for Shang and the others.

The eldest brother thought about it for a while and did not agree.

One reason was that it was cold and dim at night, making it difficult to walk. The other reason was that during the day, everyone had been traveling at full speed all day and had just rested for a short while. If they continued to travel at this time, they would be too tired.

The third thing was that he learned from Mao that the remaining food of Shang and others would be enough to last until tomorrow night.

Judging from the distance, if the two sides move towards each other tomorrow, they will meet around noon, so there is no need to be too anxious.

"You guys go to sleep first, we are here."

After the eldest brother gave the reason, he patted the shoulders of Mao and the others vigorously, pointed to a snow house on the side, and asked them to go in and sleep.

Lying in the snow house, Mao and four other members of the trading team soon fell asleep.

This was the most sound and peaceful sleep they had had since they left the tribe and started trading.

Because there are many people from the same tribe around them, they will be on guard for themselves and others and resist danger...

The next morning, after breakfast, the eldest brother and others continued along the path they had taken yesterday.

As long as you follow the footprints, you will definitely meet Shang and the others.

Mao and his companions sat on the sled, being towed forward by the deer. Looking at the people trudging forward on the snow, Mao felt warm in his heart.

When they see Shang, they will be shocked!

In the early morning, Shang and his group also set off.

Unlike the eldest brother and his men who were full of energy, this team was much weaker.

Some people lay in the snow house and didn't want to come out, but were yelled out by Shang.
