Chapter 267: Separation
"No, it's not the Second Elder causing trouble. He's been very well behaved lately," Li Yunkai said. "It's just that there are too many new recruits, and their consumption is high. The food is being eaten up too quickly, and we probably won't have enough food until spring. So, I wanted to ask if you have any solutions?"
Ye Li pondered for a moment, but before he could say anything, Xiao Xun said, "Let's borrow it when we go to the Holy City."
"We can't borrow anymore." Ye Li said, "We can't just rely on borrowing food from the Holy City to survive. That's too spineless. Once the snow stops, I'll naturally find a way. Uncle Yun, don't worry."
"Okay, I believe it." Li Yunkai nodded: "Then I'll go back first. I'll come back after the snow stops."
The snow kept falling, and Ye Li's face was frozen red from playing outside. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran back to warm himself by the fire.
Beside the stove, Xiao Xun came up to Ye Li and asked softly, "Don't worry too much. If you don't have enough food, I can go to the Holy City to borrow some for you."
"No." Ye Li said, "I can't borrow it forever."
"That's not the case. If we plant crops in the spring of next year, won't we be able to harvest them in the fall?"
"That won't do. I can't rely on you like this. Since I'm the Great Elder, I have to rely on my own strength to support this tribe."
Xiao Xun shook Ye Li's hand and said, "I understand what you mean. I just want to tell you that no matter what, I will always be your strongest support."
"Okay. If I really can't solve it myself, I'll ask you for help."
Unfortunately, the snow had not stopped yet, and before Ye Li could tell Li Yunkai about his plan, chaos began to break out in the tribe.
The instigator was the second elder, who instigated the primitive inhabitants of the forest tribe and made trouble in the forest under the guise of protecting the interests of the primitive inhabitants.
First, he led people to rob the food in the warehouse, then ran to the temporary tree house of the newcomers, smashed all their pots and pans, and threatened the newcomers to get out of the forest tribe immediately.
In a short period of time, the forest tribe was divided into two.
Most of the patrol team under Li Yuan's jurisdiction also left and joined the indigenous camp headed by the second elder.
Li Yuan is still on Ye Li's side, as are the two stewards. Since they pushed Ye Li to become the grand elder, they will not rebel at this time.
It was supposed to be a warm New Year's holiday, but it turned into a mess.
Even Ye Li's residence was attacked many times by the indigenous camp.
Ye Li stood by the window and looked outside. It was still snowing. The crazy natives kept grabbing snowballs and throwing them at her tree house, shouting at her, the outsider elder, to get out of the forest tribe.
It has to be said that the Second Elder has some experience and connections in the tribe, otherwise how could he have gathered such a large group of people in such a short period of time to become his enemy.
"What should I do?" Li Sangtian was extremely anxious. He said, "Many capable farmers have gone to the Great Elder's place, and I don't know if the farm will be able to resume normal operations when spring comes."
Xiao Xun sat at the table and asked Xiaomu and Xixi to write. He looked at Ye Li worriedly, but he still endured it. Before Ye Li spoke, he could not interfere too much, otherwise it would hurt Ye Li's self-esteem, and Ye Li was not that weak.
"Let's split up." Ye Li said, "Since they don't obey me, let's split up and let them go with the Second Elder."
"Split up? That won't do." Li Yunkai said, "We are a tribe. We should stick together, not split up."
Ye Li gestured outside and said, "What's the difference between the situation outside and the splitting of the family? Why not just split up the family, divide the food and land, and cultivate the land next year? Otherwise, if the chaos continues, we'll all starve to death."
Li Yuan sat aside and said, "I also agree with the separation. Now those new recruits are just punching bags for the Second Elder and his men. If they keep making trouble, they'll be tortured to death."
Li Sangtian also agreed with Ye Li's idea.
Li Yunkai sighed twice and said, "Since you all agree, I can only agree to split up."
Li Yuan sent someone to invite the second elder.
