139 Winter is hard
Beishanbu Amu is the kind of person who has stayed in her own tribe all her life and has never been to other tribes, she doesn't even know about the nearby salt department half a month away, and her cognition of this world can be imagined.
This world is a world of the jungle, Zhao Hao just wants to swallow their Beishan Division!
She really thought that the head of the salt department would exchange the dried meat for them in the Beishan department, but unfortunately, she thought about it for a long time, and she didn't know what to exchange with others.
In fact, even if she came up with something, it would be useless, because Zhao Hao could completely assume that he was not interested in what she proposed.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhao Hao suddenly asked, "Do you want the clansmen not to starve and freeze in winter?" β
Aren't you talking nonsense!
Beishan Auntie said without hesitation: "Of course I want to." β
Zhao Hao then asked, "Do you have a way to keep the clansmen from starving and freezing in winter?" β
When Beishan Auntie heard this, her face couldn't help but darken, how could she have any way, it would be good to ensure that the clansmen would not starve, but in winter, she really couldn't help it, three or four months, the weather was cold, there was no way to go out hunting, it was too difficult, she couldn't hunt enough food for the winter.
In the past, every year, some people couldn't survive the winter and starved to death, and this year, I'm afraid some people won't survive.
She really can't help it.
The two were silent for a while, and Zhao Hao suddenly sighed again: "Alas, actually, even if I exchange the dried meat for you, it is useless, because this time I only brought less than 10,000 catties of dried meat in total, and besides, we have to keep some when we return, so I can exchange it for seven or eight thousand catties of dried meat for you at most." How long is seven or eight thousand catties enough for you to eat, even if each of your clansmen only eats one pound of dried meat a day, you can't last twenty days! β
When Beishan Auntie heard this, her face became even more ugly, she thought for a while, and then asked with hope: "Then can you go back and bring some dry meat over, I will find a way to exchange it with you, you say, what do you want?" β
You're just daydreaming!
Zhao Hao pretended to be helpless and shook his head and said: "Alas, it's not easy for me to come over, and besides, we have a salt department that is also busy preparing for winter, and this year, it is impossible for me to come over again." You better hurry up and think about what you can do with me for dry meat, I'm really busy and can't spend too much time here. β
This one.
I want to have something good, so I won't take it out and change it with you sooner!
Beishan's mother thought for a while, and suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that I can only take the young people in the clan to venture to the grassland in the north to give it a try." By the way, you're from the north, so you know what it's like on the prairie now, right? I heard that there are many bison, wild sheep and wild horses in the grasslands, is it true? Also, I heard that there are many wild wolves on the grassland, have you ever seen them? β
I've seen wild wolves, of course, but I'll leave that aside for now, I'll tell you about bison, wild sheep, and wild horses.
Zhao Hao pretended to recall: "The grassland in the north, I naturally know what it looks like, because we came around from the grassland in the north. However, I didn't see any bison, goats, or horses at all. β
Yes!
Beishan Auntie said in disbelief: "Impossible, right? β
Zhao Hao pretended to prompt: "Do you think, wild wolves also want to eat meat, can the bison, wild sheep and wild horses on the grassland escape their fangs and claws?" β
When Beishan Auntie heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Yes, wild wolves also want to eat meat, if there are really too many wild wolves on the grassland to count, then the wild cattle, wild sheep and wild horses will probably be eaten by them long ago!
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but show a look of despair.
What should we do if this last hope is gone?
She thought for a while, and suddenly asked cheekily, "Heavenly Chief, can you help us think of a way?" If there are no bison, wild sheep and wild horses in the grasslands, I am afraid that many people in our northern mountains will starve to death! β
You're naΓ―ve.
But that's good!
Zhao Hao pretended to hesitate for a while, and then nodded slowly: "I have a way, I'm afraid you won't agree." β
Afraid that I won't agree?
Beishan's mother looked at Zhao Hao's sturdy body, and then thought back to the three little girls he brought, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
This guy is very!
He's afraid he's thinking about that!
That, that, that!
As long as the clansmen don't starve to death, what's the matter, anyway, her man died a long time ago.
Thinking of this, she blushed and said, "What do you want, say it, for the sake of the clan, I can do anything!" β
I'll go!
Now, it was Zhao Hao's turn to be speechless.
Beishan's mother obviously misunderstood what he meant.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the beautiful woman in front of him.
To be honest, this beautiful woman is indeed very good-looking, and, judging by her age, she should only be in her thirties, which is not too big.
But that's not what I meant!
He said embarrassedly: "This, I think you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." β
When Beishan Auntie heard this, she couldn't help but be surprised: "That's not what you mean? So what do you want? β
I don't want you alone, I want all of you in the North Mountains!
Of course, this cannot be said so bluntly.
Zhao Hao pretended to hesitate again, and then said slowly: "What I mean is actually very simple, you take all the clansmen back to the salt department with me, I promise, this winter, including the winter in the future, no one will starve, and no one will freeze to death!" β
Yes!
When Beishan Mother heard this, she was dumbfounded.
This means to annex our North Mountain!
She was stunned for a long time, and then asked cautiously: "I will take all the clansmen with you to the salt department?" What about our Kitayama Division? β
Well, in this tone, the sense of resistance doesn't seem to be very strong, or rather, I don't dare to resist.
It seems that there is a lot of hope.
Zhao Hao didn't answer and asked, "Then do you think you have any hope of staying here with your clansmen?" Let me tell you, you guys are not bad, I went to the Qinghe Department a few months ago, it was called miserable, the whole tribe of more than 2,000 people, eating for decades, all the prey around is almost eaten, not to mention winter, even if it is not winter, the tribe has to starve, do you want the North Mountain Department to become like this? β
When Beishan Mother heard this, she subconsciously said, "Qinghe Department? More than 2,000 people! How do they find enough food to feed so many people? β
Zhao Hao pretended to sigh and said: "Yes, they can't find enough food at all, last year, in order to prepare enough food for the winter, Qinghe's mother ventured to hunt in an unfamiliar place, but as a result, she was bitten to death by a saber-toothed tiger, leaving a teenage daughter with more than 2,000 people, that's really miserable!" β
Yes!
Qinghe's mother was bitten to death by strange beasts!
When Beishan's mother heard this, her face suddenly turned to ashes.
Perhaps, she will be like Qinghe's grandmother!
Because, at this time, she was also forced to have no choice, in order to prepare enough food for the winter, she could only take her people to hunt in unfamiliar places.
If she was also bitten to death by a strange beast, leaving only her little daughter, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Zhao Hao saw that Beishan's aunt had already entered the trap, and hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said: "Think about it, even if you Beishan can survive this winter, what about the next winter, what about the next winter?" Can you keep up with your people? Even if you can survive, how many people will starve to death every winter? Have you thought about these? β
Beishan's grandmother doesn't dare to think about it, she doesn't know how to survive this winter, next winter, next winter!
Alas, what a hard winter!
