"#￥SE..."
On a freezing night, a fire continued to burn.
There were people lying in a circle around the fire. If they hadn't been too close to the fire and were burning, they would have pressed their entire bodies against it.
The firelight illuminated the surrounding white snow, giving it a red glow. The night sky was deep and studded with bright stars.
However, no one appreciates this beautiful scenery.
The person squatting beside the fire, responsible for putting dry firewood into the fire, will shout after a while.
If the people lying there didn't make a sound, he would go over and push and shake them to wake them up.
They had no choice but to do this. After last night's experience, they didn't dare to sleep too deeply, fearing that they would never wake up again after falling asleep.
Compared to yesterday, they are even weaker.
The boundless cold and the fatigue from the long journey quickly took away their vitality, just like the leaves that quickly turned from green to yellow and fell after feeling the cold.
Even the leader of the Black Rock Tribe, who had the best food and the strongest body, could hardly bear it anymore. He felt weak and wanted to have a good sleep.
But he didn't dare to do so, for he was worried that he would never get up again.
Being woken up from his sleep by someone calling him, he wanted so much that he wanted to reach out and hit the man with two stones to vent his anger.
But he suppressed this impulse because he was the one who ordered this matter and this person was doing what he had instructed.
After shaking his dizzy head vigorously, the leader of the Black Rock Tribe sat up from the ground, took out food that was frozen like stones, gave it to the rest of the people, and together with the others, roasted it around the fire and ate it.
Under such circumstances, they had no good way to keep warm, and all they could do was eat as much food roasted over fire as possible.
Because they found that after eating food cooked over fire, the body would become warmer for a period of time and the whole person would be more resistant to cold.
After eating, the leader of the Blackrock tribe arranged for another person to guard the fire and wake everyone up after a while, and then he and the other person went to sleep back to back again...
The next morning, after another hearty meal, everyone stood up at the scolding of the Blackrock Tribe leader and walked forward again on the snow with difficulty.
Where they left off, there was left behind a pile of burnt ashes and scattered bones.
Most of these bones are from humans...
After a difficult journey and the deaths of two people, the people of the Black Rock Tribe, led by their leader, finally arrived at the tribe they had expected just as it was about to get dark.
After seeing the cave that was not very conspicuous under the cover of wind and snow, the people of the Blackrock Tribe couldn't help but cheer.
At this moment, strength suddenly emerged from within the body that had been drained of strength by the cold and the long journey in the ice and snow.
They cheered and ran towards the cave which was covered with ice and snow and had its entrance blocked by stone slabs. Then they carried the stone slabs on their bodies and squeezed hard into it. Some of the stone slabs were knocked over by them.
Someone heard the noise inside the cave and ran over in confusion to look outside to see what was happening to him, but was hit on the leg by a falling stone slab.
One of his legs was instantly deformed and the whole person screamed miserably.
His screams soon ended as a weapon with a black stone tied to its head pierced his chest.
The loud noise of the stone slab collapsing and the man's screams woke up the people outside who were rushing into the cave and the others who had not noticed this place.
Some people subconsciously grabbed things around them as weapons and tried to resist.
Some people were so frightened that they stood still and dared not move, while others shouted in panic and ran deeper into the cave.
"#%WE!"
The leader of the Blackrock tribe shouted loudly and stabbed to death a man who dared to resist with the Blackrock weapon in his hand.
After hearing the Black Stone leader's shouts and seeing the impressive Black Stone weapons in these people's hands, those who still wanted to resist immediately wilted.
They threw the things they had picked up on the ground and squatted down.
This tribe had been attacked by the Blackrock Tribe once before. If it had not been attacked, it would not have obediently sent food to the Blackrock Tribe.
He has a deep understanding of the cruelty and terror of the Blackrock Tribe.
It was also because of this that after seeing the black stone weapons that terrified them and recognizing the identity of the newcomers, these people gave up resistance cleanly.
Because previous experience told them that resistance would only result in more deaths.
On the contrary, it is not as good as it is now.
The people of the ferocious Black Rock tribe should just be stealing some food this time.
Giving a lot of food from the tribe to the evil Blackrock Tribe will make their lives very difficult in the future.
But no matter how painful it is, it is better than dying now.
It was also because of this that the leaders of the Black Rock Tribe who rushed into the cave were able to easily control all the people of the tribe.
Then they found the food stored by the tribe, distributed it to everyone, and they ate a feast.
After eating, some people held the extremely intimidating Black Stone weapons and looked at the people they had driven into a corner of the cave. The leader of the Black Stone tribe then lay down beside the fire and fell asleep...
The people of this tribe deeply regretted that they had not fought desperately before.
This is not only because the ferocious Black Rock tribe members ate up the food they had worked hard to store for the winter, but also strung all their food with branches or wrapped it in animal skins.
More importantly, after spending three days here, these evil people drove them all out of the cave.
And hang food on their bodies.
Then they were driven away, stepping on the thick snow and braving the severe cold.
They left the caves where they lived and the fires that were lit inside the caves.
It was also at this time that the leader of the tribe finally mustered up the courage to resist again.
However, they had already lost their weapons at this time. Facing the people of the Blackrock Tribe who were armed with Blackrock weapons, such resistance was nothing but a meaningless suicide.
After their leader and several other strong men were killed for resisting, the remaining people dared not resist anymore.
Even when walking, due to hunger, cold and fatigue, some people would fall to the ground and never get up again, but no one dared to resist...
The people of the Black Rock Tribe who remained in the tribal cave were all extremely worried.
Because several days had passed, their leader and the people from their tribe who went out with the leader had not returned yet.
This situation has never happened before, so it seems very abnormal.
Faced with such a situation, they are of course worried.
Like the rest of the Blackrock tribe, Treebark seemed very worried, but his worry was all fake.
Deep down inside, I don't know what happiness looks like.
After these years of experience, especially after coming to the Black Stone Tribe, he has been honed by life into a talented actor.
Time passed little by little. Normally, he was very afraid of the cold and didn't want to leave the fire easily, but now he would get up and go outside the cave to relieve himself after a while.
He said he was going to the bathroom, but actually he went outside to look around, wanting to see if the leaders of the Blackrock Tribe had returned.
Looking at the empty outside with only a little bark squeezed out, I became even happier.
He felt that the damn guy would never come back after such a long time.
Whenever he thought of this, he was so happy that he couldn't help himself. Even looking at the cold ice and snow around him and feeling the unpleasant cold wind, he felt comfortable all over.
He thought these things that made him feel cold were very cute.
The reason why the leader of the Blackrock Tribe cannot come back is most likely because of them.
Shupi stood here and looked around for a while, shook his body vigorously, wrapped himself in the animal skin, and turned to walk into the cave.
As a result, just after it turned halfway, the bark turned back.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. The smile on his face gradually froze, and he even wanted to hit someone.
Following his gaze, you can see some dark figures appearing on the snow in the distance.
As time went by, more and more figures appeared.
There was no need to carefully identify them, the tree bark knew who these figures were.
In such weather, there could be so many people running straight towards the direction of their tribal cave. There would be no one else except the people led by that damn guy.
"Puff! Puff!"
Shuba was so angry that he almost exploded on the spot. He looked at those people from afar and stomped on the ground hard with his feet. The snow was splashed all around.
After venting his anger for a while, Shupi began to walk quickly towards the returning group of people.
After walking forward for a distance, they began to shout loudly in the direction of the cave, informing the people still hiding in the cave that their leader had returned.
While shouting loudly, he kept moving towards the returning Black Rock Tribe leader and others.
When the people in the cave heard his shouts and rushed out cheering, Tree Bark changed from his original quick walk to running as fast as he could.
And, cheering while running.
"#￥5#￥!"
After running on the snow to the returning Blackrock tribe leader, Shupi supported the Blackrock tribe leader, who looked so miserable that he almost didn't recognize him, and shouted with joy.
"￥%S!"
The leader of the Blackrock tribe was also very happy. After responding to Tree Bark, he stretched out his hand which was full of frostbitten cracks and patted Tree Bark on the head. He seemed very happy and treated Tree Bark better than before.
Not only the leader of the Black Rock Tribe, but the rest of the Black Rock Tribe members who returned with him also looked at Shupi more friendly than before.
This is not only because they have gone through all kinds of hardships and finally returned to their tribe and met their people.
Another reason was that they all saw clearly just now that the bark had been waiting for them to come back from afar outside the warm cave in such weather.
There were many people who stayed in the cave in the tribe and did not go out, but the only one who was able to do so was Tree Bark.
How could they not be moved and be nice to the tree bark?
This incident really happened right before their eyes. It was something that all of them saw with their own eyes. It couldn't be fake at all!
After Tree Bark greeted the leaders of the Blackrock Tribe and walked for a distance in the direction of the cave, those who heard Tree Bark's call and ran out of the cave finally came to greet them.
The people who remained in the cave expressed great joy at the return of their leader. Some of them even took the food off the backs of the Black Rock tribe members who had returned from outside, and carried it themselves to lighten their burden.
Looking at these enthusiastic tribesmen, the returnees felt very happy, but they always felt that they were on a lower level than Tree Bark.
This is probably the true portrayal of the fact that a successful life requires two parts luck, three parts acting skills, and five parts hard work...
With the return of the Blackrock tribe leader and others, the entire Blackrock tribe became lively again.
The Blackrock Tribe gained a lot from this attack, including the food stored by the tribe and the people they brought back. These will allow the people of the Blackrock Tribe to eat well for some time to come.
However, the Blackrock Tribe itself suffered heavy losses, with seven people dying on the way back and forth!
Those who returned to the tribe also felt uncomfortable.
It is normal to have cracks and frostbite on the face, hands, and feet. Some people even have their toes frozen off.
Even the leader of the Blackrock tribe had one of his ears frozen off!
Before, it was fine when I was walking outside, but now that I’m back in the cave which is much warmer than outside, after staying there for a while, I start to feel uncomfortable all over.
It either hurts here or it itches there, and some places are both painful and itchy.
Blood was also oozing from the Blackrock tribe leader's frozen ear.
Inside the cave, people could be heard wailing from time to time.
After this experience, no one anymore talked about robbing other tribes for food in winter.
The leader of the Blackrock tribe, who was missing an ear and wrapped in thick fur, squatted by the fire and refused to leave. While enduring the unbearable pain, he was also wondering why the losses he suffered this time were not as great as the previous time when he went out to rob other tribes in winter.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally figured out some reasons.
One is that the winter of that year didn’t seem as cold as this year.
The second is that the tribe that they went to rob that time was close to their own tribe, and it took less than two days to arrive, but this time, it took a long time.
Because of this experience, I realized how difficult it is to get food.
So after returning, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe became more strict with food.
Each time, the food taken out for everyone to eat was limited.
Apart from the tree bark, the food that the rest of the people who stayed in the cave and did not go out could only make them 50% full each time.
The food obtained by Shuba was of the same level as those obtained by robbing other tribes, and was basically enough to fill one to 80% full.
As for the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, he can eat until he feels slightly full.
When I sleep at night, the position of the bark also undergoes new changes.
Not only was it closer to the cave, but it was also closer to the fire than before.
He is simply a winner in life.
Tree Bark was the first in the entire Blackrock Tribe to enjoy such treatment without having to endure the ordeal that could have cost his life.
As night fell, Shupi lay here thinking about what had happened and found it a little unbelievable.
I went out again and again, but I was hoping that they would not come back. How come now, I inexplicably look forward to their return?
But if that's the case, Shupi has made up his mind not to tell anyone, just like when he took the initiative to kill the leader of the Blue Flower Tribe, and no one knows about it until now...
As time passed, the food stored in the cave decreased little by little, but the weather outside still showed no sign of warming up.
After a while, the leader of the Blackrock tribe once again cut down on the food supply for those who stayed in the tribe and did not go out.
Originally, they could only eat until they were 50% full, which made them feel very hungry. Now, the food they could get every day was further reduced, and they became even hungrier.
However, after the previous experience of the Blackrock tribe leader's trip, no one in the tribe dared to propose robbing other tribes.
The cat can only stay in the cave, enduring the ubiquitous hunger and cold.
This kind of hunger and starvation was something they had not experienced for a long time. They all felt uncomfortable all over and had no strength left in their bodies.
Shuba was lying not far from the fire, feeling the warmth from it and hearing the occasional gurgling sounds from the stomachs of the people around him.
Under such circumstances, Shuba suddenly came up with a bold idea.
The bold idea was to let the people of the Black Rock Tribe go south to attack the wealthy and powerful Green Bird Tribe.
Once this thought, which he had completely strangled, emerged, it could never disappear again, and it grew wildly in his mind like a weed.
It made him really want to try again.
Now, the tribe is facing cold and hunger. If you tell them about the wealth of the Green Bird tribe, they are likely to be tempted.
Moreover, compared with before, he is now more trusted by the tribe members, including the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, who all trust him very much...
The more he thought about it, the more Shupi felt that he could give it a try.
After two days of holding back this thought, Shupi finally couldn't hold it back anymore...
In the south, there was a tribe. That tribe was very rich and had so much food that they could not finish it all.
There, no one will suffer from the cold even in winter.
There is soft and warm fur there, and when you put it on, the wind can't get in.
There are many caves of strange shapes, with kangs inside. It is very warm to sleep on them. Even on the coldest night, you will not feel cold.
People who live there will not have their faces and hands cracked in the winter, let alone their toes frozen off.
There are pottery there, which can be used to boil ice and snow into hot water. Drinking a sip of it in the cold winter will warm your whole body and dispel the coldness in your body...
Inside the cave of the Black Stone Tribe, Tree Bark began his preaching, telling everyone about the various advantages of the Green Bird Tribe.
The sound slowly echoed within the cave, sounding very much like the whisper of the devil.
This time, the bark that told these things was not slapped on the head by the leader of the Blackrock Tribe. Even when he mentioned again the kang that almost roasted the leader of the Blackrock Tribe, he was not punished by the leader of the Blackrock Tribe.
The leader of the Blackrock Tribe seemed to have forgotten what he had said before, that if Treebark dared to say something similar again, he would kill him.
On the contrary, at this moment he really liked listening to Shupi say these things, and he couldn't help but think, how nice it would be if they could also have these things and live such a life.
In the past, the leader of the Blackrock Tribe felt that his tribe lacked nothing and that they had already achieved the living standard that Treebark described.
But now, with the early arrival of winter, all the things he had been proud of before suddenly became insignificant, and their tribe returned to the days of starvation.
And he even lost an ear due to freezing during his previous outing.
The chilblains and cracks on my hands, face, and feet have not completely healed yet.
Under such circumstances, he could certainly listen to what the bark said, and he felt a yearning and wanted to possess it.
As the person who eats the best and enjoys all kinds of top treatment in the tribe, even the leader of the Blackrock Tribe is like this. Let alone the other people in the Blackrock Tribe, they yearn for what Shupi said and want to possess it and live a life like that!
Those who are so hungry that their stomachs are growling and they feel dizzy are most craving for endless food in winter.
Those who followed the leader of the Black Rock Tribe outside and suffered frostbite in many places and felt extremely uncomfortable all over were very interested in what the tree bark said about the things that make people feel warm.
Before they knew it, the entire Black Rock Tribe was fooled by Tree Bark.
Even those people who were captured by the leader of the Black Rock Tribe and had not yet been eaten as food wanted the people of the Black Rock Tribe to quickly attack that tribe and seize all these things.
Because in this way, they won't have to die and be eaten as food.
The tribesmen would have such a strong reaction, which was something that Shuba had never expected before.
