In the early morning, the jungle is thick with monkeys howling and birds chirping, and the place is shrouded in mist.
A group of people pushed aside the leaves and emerged from the dense forest in the east, gradually forming a group of more than a hundred people.
The leader was Ju, who had not returned for many years.
After being away from Dongjuqiu for so long, he did not look any older, but younger. The hair on his face had completely disappeared, revealing a hairless, sideburn-less, and eyebrow-less face, with only six long whiskers sticking out on both sides of his nose. His appearance was quite different.
In addition to him, the young and strong dog people following behind him, after ten years of pioneering, surprisingly had few signs of vicissitudes on their faces, and each of them was full of energy and spirit.
"Chief, since we have successfully opened up new land in the outside world and expanded our business, why do we have to go back and help those people who have joined the group without dying?"
Next to Tachibana is his confidant, Tang, who was also his old friend.
Tang was a strong man, heroic, observant, and loyal person.
When he started pioneering, he was not that outstanding himself, but he experienced a lot and witnessed many friends dying from injuries, colds and other accidents during the pioneering process. He also grew up gradually until he could stand on his own and become a reliable helper for Ju.
They also promoted the tribal ritual of washing the body with hot water in long-term practice, which successfully washed away various dirt accumulated on the surface of the skin and solved the problem of colds that had troubled them for a long time.
Although colds and various gastrointestinal diseases still have a high mortality rate, at least people who frequently wash their bodies with hot water can at least reduce the probability of occurrence.
The people in their tribe gradually reached a consensus on this point. This was also Tang's contribution and deserved to be remembered by the tribe.
But because he had seen so many of his companions die, Tang felt that it was not worth it to come back all the way to help the tribe.
Obviously, they paid such great sacrifices to gain a foothold in the Eastern Wilderness, find better alternative food, and achieve stable production, which helped their bodies become stronger, younger, smarter and more alert.
But now they were actually going to take the seeds of this thing back with them. He didn't understand.
As for Ju's statement that more manpower is needed to stabilize the situation, Tang was even more dismissive. He felt that instead of looking for help from those who have already declined, it would be better to train internally. Even if it takes more time, there will definitely be a breakthrough in the future.
Ju shook his head and said:
"We originally came from there, and many of our parents and grandparents may not have passed away yet. It would have been fine if we didn't have the spare capacity, but now that we have established ourselves, we naturally want to let these older generations have a comfortable life."
"Otherwise, think about it, when you are old one day, and your descendants don't want to support you, what will you do? Can you live on your own?"
"If a race wants to survive for a long time, the most important thing is to have good manners."
“Respect your parents, love your children, and build your family first, then your community, so that the tribe can develop steadily.”
These words barely convinced Tang.
"Well, this is indeed important. Although it is a lot more burdensome, with our current strength, an extra burden is nothing."
Although Tang said this, he still felt in his heart that he could take care of his own elderly, but as for the people from other tribes, it would depend on the situation.
If they are still lazy and useless, then he will have reason to reject them.
As for the younger generations among them, if they have not been corrupted by their elders, they can be taken away and raised to become their new force in the development of the Eastern Wilderness.
Their average physical fitness has now improved a lot, and they have also inherited various technologies mastered by the previous five major tribes. They can be said to be in the peak state.
Both human power and wisdom have reached unprecedented levels of strength.
The main limitation to their further development is the population problem, as the birth rate cannot keep up with the expansion rate.
They are now able to hunt large creatures that are over 20 meters tall.
By eating the flesh and blood of these creatures regularly, their physical fitness is indeed improving.
Not only that, they found more types of food near the nests of these large creatures, greatly enriching their food system.
Among the current group of one hundred young and strong people, half of them have mastered the abilities of swallowing charcoal and breathing fire, generating electricity from fur, and having super-strong five senses. They have gradually and successfully promoted the extraordinary ways discovered by the five major tribes.
The resources in the Eastern Wilderness are so abundant that even if they just keep looking for food, they can raise a group of people with increasingly powerful abilities.
This is also the reason why Tang looked down on the original five tribes.
He didn't believe that under the original conditions, the five major tribes would become greedy for pleasure again, and they might catch up with him.
As the two talked, they gradually came to the long-abandoned East Orange Hill.
The ground was covered with weeds, and the tree nest covered with leaves gradually lost its original appearance.
"It seems that even if there are any members of the older generation still alive, they have moved out."
Tang was secretly happy. It would be best if there were no burdens. This way the next things would be simple. He would communicate with other tribes and bring a group of young and strong men who were good enough to their Donghuang tribe.
As for those idle and lazy people, I'll excuse me from keeping you company.
Although Tang is loyal, he only shows loyalty to his good friends. As for those he is not familiar with, he feels that the fact that he can come and take care of them is enough for them to be grateful.
After all, their journey of hundreds of kilometers was not easy and involved great risks.
If the people from the five major tribes, no, now it should be the four major tribes, were ungrateful, Tang would rather not take them back.
Compared to Ju's leadership style and broad-mindedness, Tang thinks that he is narrow-minded, and he is very aware of this.
After some discussion, they decided to rest in the Dongjuqiu tribe for a few days, hunt to replenish their energy, and then go to other tribes to communicate.
They began to repair the long-abandoned tree nests.
At this time, the team responsible for exploring the surrounding area came back and reported: "We found several special things, a bit like tree nests built on the ground, and there are still fresh traces of activities inside."
Ju and Tang discussed it and thought it was interesting, so they took a few people over.
This is a wooden house that is completely different from the original tree nest.
It has two floors, the first floor is 1.5 meters high, and the bottom is filled with thick tree stumps driven into the ground.
The top was flattened and built into a large square house, which can support four or five large tree nests. It looks much better than the tree nests that need to be cleaned of mosquitoes and dead leaves all year round.
"Could it be that they have invented new structures in the past ten years?"
Ju's eyes lit up. This house structure was quite interesting.
Although it is obvious at first glance that a lot of construction skills are required, the advantages are really obvious. It is much better than a tree nest that is cramped, narrow, dirty, and requires constant care.
"Let's go in and take a look." (End of this chapter)
