After eating two bowls of hot porridge, Huang Guo, like the others, used great willpower to support his tired body and moved forward with those people.
Her body was already very weak, and she felt that she might collapse at any time. The cold and fatigue tormented her all the time.
Like everyone else, all the excitement before and just after the departure was replaced by the cold and tiredness during the journey.
It's like a person who has set a goal that makes him tremble with excitement, but is tempered by the difficulties along the way and has lost his original ambition.
However, unlike those people whose ambitions have been worn down by difficulties and who can set new ambitions, Huang Guo no longer has any other choice at this time.
If she didn't work hard to reach that fascinating tribe, only death would be waiting for her.
At this time, she and other people from the Huangguo tribe no longer thought about returning to their original cave, because the cave was now empty and the only things they had were taken out by them.
Moreover, it was impossible to take all the things they brought back intact, because their most precious jar had already broken into two pieces.
It wasn't broken by accident, but was broken by human intervention.
While Huang Guo felt sorry for such a large jar being broken, he actually agreed with this approach.
If they hadn't done so, two people from their tribe would have died yesterday.
They were two people who were already weak and older, and they really couldn't walk anymore.
The rest of the people were also exhausted by the wind and snow, so it was impossible to carry them forward.
So the leader of the team had the big jar broken into two halves, tied them up with ropes, put some hay and animal skins inside, and let the weak people sit in it, and let the deer pull them away.
Huang Guo looked up at the two people sitting in the broken jar and being pulled by the deer. While she admired their wisdom, she was also envious. After all, she was also very tired, and if possible, she also wanted to sit in it.
Looking at the leader who was leading the deer in front, Huang Guo felt more at ease, but some worries also arose.
Because the number of leaders has been reduced from two to one, the other one took a few people and left the team yesterday and walked forward, and has long disappeared.
"Go forward, don't worry, Mao has already brought people back. Once the Son of God knows about this, he will definitely send enough people with enough food to take us back to the tribe."
Shang led the people along the footprints left by Mao, walking slowly forward, breathing out white air. Seeing that everyone was in low spirits and the situation was getting worse, he thought for a moment and encouraged everyone with gestures and words.
The people of the Qingque tribe's trading team were used to traveling, and after hearing what Shang said, they recalled everything in the tribe and what the Son of God usually did, and they suddenly became energetic.
Yes, the Son of God will not abandon them, the people in the tribe will not abandon them, and they are not helpless.
This also made some people in the Huangguo tribe feel more excited.
But there are some people who are skeptical about this, such as the leader of the Huangguo tribe.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe did not really believe what Shang said, because if such a situation happened in their tribe, he would most likely not go to rescue them, because doing such a thing would require taking great risks, and after rescuing the people, a lot of food would have to be consumed.
As a person of this era and a leader at that, he realizes the preciousness of food more than ordinary people.
The weather was turning from warm to cold, and I was afraid that the tribe wouldn't have much food left. If they went there, it would only increase the food consumption and drag down the tribe, just like the team they were dragging now.
People always tend to use themselves as the standard to measure things around them and to extend their own ideas to others.
Just like a frog at the bottom of a well looking at the sky, or two old farmers hoeing the fields imagining the wonderful life of the emperor hoeing the fields with a golden hoe every day.
For example, the leader of the Huangguo tribe at this time, because his own tribe lacked food, thought that the Qingque tribe would not have much food either.
Compared with the leader of the Huangguo tribe, Huang Guo was more inclined to believe what Shang said, but even though he believed it, he still had some worries in his heart.
As they kept trudging through the snow, everyone's physical strength was getting worse and worse. If the situation continued like this, I'm afraid more people would be unable to walk.
If the people from that tribe came to pick him up, they would at least have to get a few more large jars and knock them open to make something that could be dragged by deer, so that they could bring everyone back.
But this is the most precious vat.
Would the people of that tribe be willing to smash so many precious things to receive them?
Compared to the doubts of the people in the Huangguo tribe, Shang and others had no concerns at all about the fact that people in the tribe would send someone to pick them up, but Shang still had some worries in his heart.
Because according to the distance, even if Mao and others rushed back to the tribe as quickly as possible, Shen Zi and others immediately arranged for people to pack up and then set out to rush here, the earliest they could arrive would be the day after tomorrow.
The food in the team can only last until tomorrow noon at best.
Are we really going to kill the deer?
As he thought about this, he turned his head to look at the deer that was following them and carrying things without complaint, and his heart was filled with reluctance to leave.
This was the second time he had faced a difficult decision since he decided to lead people to the Qingque tribe to borrow food.
However, unlike the initial helpless and anxious moment, although the decision this time was more difficult, he was not too panicked because the Son of God was in the tribe.
In the snowy weather, it is still chilly even without wind, not to mention there is some cold wind blowing at this time.
The people in the team struggled forward in the thick snow.
"There"
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, one of the people in the walking team suddenly pointed to a place in front of them and shouted excitedly.
Everyone looked over there.
From a distance, I saw a row of black spots appearing in the snow.
There were a large number of people, and many deer could be seen among them. There were also some smaller black shadows running around, which were wolves.
In the middle of the team, someone was holding a stick with a linen flag tied to it, on which was a faint pattern painted.
It was too far away to see clearly at that time, but Shang and the others knew what the pattern was.
Because there is also such a flag in their team.
Greenbird
The people who came to greet them have arrived.
Without having time to think about why the people who came to greet them came so quickly, Shang and the remaining dozen or so people from the trading team could not help but shout loudly and jump up and down.
The man holding the flag raised it high and waved it vigorously.
The cold wind blew the flags, making a rustling sound. The not-so-standard bluebird moved with the wind, as if it wanted to spread its wings and fly.
The group of people that appeared in the distance obviously also saw Shang and the others here, and the flag they had erected began to shake, echoing the people here from afar.
There were faint sounds coming from somewhere whose meanings were indecipherable.
The team over there obviously quickened their pace, and some people stepped out of the crowd and rushed towards Shang and his team.
