"thump……"

After cleaning up this row of granaries, Han Cheng, Wu and Shitou went to another row of granaries and carefully inspected every corner with oil lamps.

I wanted to see if any of the granaries in this row had been visited by these uninvited guests.

Before I had finished half of it, a muffled sound was faintly heard, and at the same time there was a miserable cry of a mouse.

Several people in the room were stunned by the noise.

This mechanism is too clever, isn't it? It was set up not long ago, and it has already caught a mouse?

The next person who reacted the fastest among the three was not Shitou, the youngest, nor Han Cheng, who was young and strong and set the mousetrap himself, but Wu, who should have the slowest reaction speed.

After a moment of daze, he turned around and ran outside without saying a word, filled with surprise and joy. His speed and quick reaction amazed Han Chengdu, who was far behind him.

“Haha, OK!”

Han Cheng and Shitou, who followed behind, heard Wu Da's hearty laughter as he got his revenge before they even turned the corner.

Turning around, I saw that the two hanging pieces had fallen down, and a mouse was trapped underneath, with its eyeballs sticking out and its exposed head still scratching helplessly with its claws.

"I'll let you eat, I'll let you eat..."

The witch squatted there, happily scolding the mouse that wanted to go back and report the news.

"squeak……"

The mouse, unable to bear the witch's attack, suddenly twitched violently. After a miserable cry, blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, and then it twitched twice and stopped moving...

Han Cheng, who was standing aside, was stunned by this scene, and the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

Is there any such operation? Wu, this is Zhuge Kongming possessed!

For a moment, the moving melody of "Shut up, you old bastard with white hair and beard... I've never seen such a... such a shameless person!" kept repeating in Han Cheng's mind, and he couldn't stop for a while.

It was not until the witch had broken the tragically dead mouse into several pieces and was still unwilling to stop, preparing to break it into even smaller pieces, that Han Cheng was able to break free from this devilish melody and stop the witch's next move.

I remember that when Zeng Guofan led the Hunan Army to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he was beaten to the point of wanting to jump into the lake twice.

Later, Hong Xiuquan died of illness. After the fall of Tianjing, Zeng Guofan found Hong Xiuquan's body, chopped it into pieces, stuffed it into the barrel of a cannon, and blasted it out. Only then did he feel relieved from the hatred in his heart.

Although the mice had eaten the tribe's food and had caused the witch to be quite angry, it had not yet reached the point where it needed to be chopped into pieces...

While the Green Bird tribe was working hard for the spring plowing and several high-ranking members of the tribe were fighting wits and courage with rats to protect their food, the ice and snow in the north finally melted completely.

Many tribes that had suffered from the severe cold were now looking at the not-so-high sun with joy.

However, not all tribes were happy. A tribe not too far away from the Blackrock Tribe was not happy at this time.

It's not that they were visited by the Blackrock Tribe, but they suddenly found that the tribe that was very close to their tribe and often had "friendly interactions" with their tribe completely disappeared after the end of this winter.

At first, the people of the Grass Tribe thought that the people in this tribe died of hunger and cold in this cold winter due to lack of food.

However, the empty cave with no human bones or corpses quickly overturned their speculation.

“￥%#…”

The people of the Grass Tribe told their leader his guess.

His guess was that due to lack of food, the neighboring tribe migrated with its people. Only this could explain what happened in the cave.

The leader of the Grass Tribe thought for a while and shook his head to deny the idea.

No tribe would choose to migrate in the middle of winter, let alone a tribe that lacks food.

Because such behavior will make them die faster as they are already short of food.

Unlike the Green Bird Tribe and many other tribes, the leader of the Grass Tribe is not a man, but a woman.

However, her tall frame and sturdy body do not look much different from those of a man.

There doesn't seem to be much difference in appearance, but there is an essential difference. Compared with ordinary men, as a female leader, she has the meticulousness that is unique to women.

After denying the speculation of the man in the tribe, the female leader of the Grass Tribe wandered in the seemingly empty and deserted cave, searching bit by bit, trying to find some clues first.

The collective disappearance of a tribe right next to them, no matter what the reason, was not a good thing for them.

It is very important for the Grass Tribe to find out the reason.

Therefore, even if the leader of the Grass Tribe is not on good terms with the leader of this tribe, he will definitely patrol carefully.

"#￥5!"

After a careful search, she finally made a new discovery. In an inconspicuous place in the cave, she found several broken sticks.

These wooden sticks have been worn to become smooth, and some of them have sharp ends. They are the weapons of some people in this tribe.

But at this time, these weapons were broken, and there was some dark red on some of the weapons.

This is the blood that was spilled and dried up!

Something bad has happened to this tribe!

It is very likely that they were killed or driven away by someone who broke into their cave during the cold season!

Panic spread among the people of the Grass Tribe, and many of them, who had not yet fully recovered from the cold winter, began to tremble again.

Many people's eyes were on the female leader's people, waiting for the leader to make a decision for them. However, the leader of the Grass Tribe kept his eyes on the broken stick in his hand.

The woman's attentiveness allowed her to discover the difference of the stick.

The broken ends of these sticks used as weapons are different from those usually seen, they are extremely smooth!

The leader of the Grass Tribe, who had once used the tribe's stone axe to chop off some small branches, was able to recall how the smooth cuts came about.

But precisely because she understood what these smooth fractures meant, she became more surprised and suspicious than the average tribesman!

Because even if the strongest person in their tribe held the sharpest stone axe and chopped down with all his strength, it would be impossible to cut such a thick wooden stick in one go!

This situation means that the enemy who came to attack this tribe possesses an extremely sharp weapon!

The kind that can easily cut through wooden weapons!

"￥%..."

The leader of the Grass Tribe stood here in confusion for a while, then suddenly spoke and led his men out of the cave and headed in another direction.

She held the severed weapon in her hand, and she wanted to tell the nearby tribes about the emergence of a powerful and evil tribe...
