Chapter Eighty-Seven: Cold Despair
What the leader of the pig tribe didn't know was that after he left from the neighboring friendly tribe with all the tribesmen and food, the two great god sticks that had been pretending to be high in the inner cave, the divine son Han Cheng and the witch, immediately came out of the inner cave.
When they came to the gate of the wall, they looked at the backs of the pig tribe who had left with food, and their eyes shone brightly......
The leader of the pig tribe led the people of the tribe to trek through the snow, they were already tired and out of breath, but they would not stop to rest for a while.
Thinking of the crisis in the tribe, they had no intention of resting.
Traveling on ice and snow days requires a lot of food, one is because the snow is difficult to walk, which consumes physical strength, and the other is that the weather is cold and consumes a lot of calories.
After a long journey, and a long cold night in the field, the belly of fish that had been filled yesterday with the friendly tribe had long since been consumed.
The leader of the pig tribe thought about it, and took six salted fish from the salted fish skewers carried by the tribesmen, and divided them into two parts, one for each person and half of them.
It was too difficult to drill wood to make a fire on a snowy day, and it was too much of a waste of time, and he was in a hurry to rush back with food, so he naturally would not do such a thing.
Everyone took half a salted fish and bit it directly, and hurried while eating, and when they were thirsty, they grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and covered their mouths.
……
The leader of the pig tribe was very happy, not only because he was about to return to his tribe, but also because not long ago, they picked up two big chickens that had frozen to death in the snow, which was indeed a joyful thing for a tribe that was extremely short of food.
Now the two big chickens are in his hands.
He looked at the two chickens he was carrying, and at the salted fish borrowed from the neighboring friendly tribe on the backs of the rest of the people, and the leader of the pig tribe couldn't help but smile.
I didn't let them down, and I brought back food for them as I had promised when I left, saving some food that would last for several days!
He could imagine how happy the people of the tribe would be to see the food.
Thinking of the way they looked when they greedily ate the food they brought back, the heart of the pig tribe leader was relieved, and the smile on his frozen stiff face became even stronger.
“#¥52%@”
He turned his head and shouted at the others behind him who were equally excited, picking up speed and rushing in the direction of the tribe.
Seeing the opening of the tribal cave from a distance, the heart of the leader of the pig tribe was a little heavy, he didn't think about the worst place, he just thought that it was the people who stayed in the cave, and he couldn't wait to open the cave door and come out to look for food.
He picked up speed again, heading towards the cavern, hoping to find out what was going on in the tribe.
About a hundred meters away from the cave, he saw a lot of messy footprints, which extended from the cave and zigzagged all the way to the west.
Some of these footprints were from the tribe to the outside, and some were from the outside in the direction of the cave.
The leader of the pig tribe stood here looking at the many messy footprints, and the smile on his face was gone.
He looked at it for a moment, then shook the spear in his hand, shouted to the others next to him, who also sensed that something was wrong, and ran towards the cave......
The cave that used to be lively and lively is now very deserted, except for the leader of the pig tribe who has just returned, the huge cave is empty.
The cave was a mess, and the fires that had never been extinguished in the past had cooled down.
On the cold ground, there were a few dark black marks, which were the blood that had coagulated after flowing out!
Around the cold ashes, between the dark blood stains, there were some blinding whites, which were gnawed clean bones.
Bones, the leader of the pig tribe has seen a lot, but these bones make him tremble all over, because these are human bones!
The icy cave was empty, and a group of people who had finally borrowed food and rushed back with pleasure after a lot of hardships stood here, looking at this strange and cold everything, as if struck by lightning.
“#¥…&3*”
The leader of the pig tribe, who was trembling all over, suddenly shouted, held a short spear in his hand, and turned around and ran towards the outside of the cave.
The remaining eleven also turned around and ran with their leader.
The leader of the pig tribe ran madly along the trails left in the snow, his eyes already red.
The sky, which had already darkened in the morning, became even more gloomy, and a cold wind gradually rose, and the snow foam on the ground moved with the wind.
Snow fell from the sky and rustled on the ground, and it didn't take long for the snow to turn into a flurry of snowflakes.
Snowflakes accumulated on the ground, gradually erasing all traces......
The leader of the pig tribe, who could no longer see the footprints clearly, still stubbornly chased forward until all traces were completely gone.
He looked around, except for the trees standing, all of them were white, and the earth was extraordinarily wide and empty at this time.
“#@#%”
In the vast snowfield, there was a hissing shout, like the mourning of a beast that had lost its cubs.
In the vast snow, the twelve people of the pig tribe seem extremely small......
The moon bends and shines on Kyushu, a few happy and a few worried.
The Qingque tribe did not know about what happened in the distance, and they lived their lives as usual.
The snow was flying outside, the fire inside the cave was shining, the orange firelight, the white steam, the bright smiling face, and the reassuring conversation isolated the slaughter outside, adding a touch of warmth to this cold and cruel winter.
Han Cheng held the bowl to his mouth and drank the soup, and the blessed general who had grown up looked at the bowl in Han Cheng's hand, his eyes were staggered, his tail was wagging and he was eager to get some food from his master.
Han Cheng didn't disappoint him, a bone full of meat was fished out of his bowl, put it to his mouth and blew cool air for a while, and then threw it at his eyes, which had not left this piece of meat.
Under Han Cheng's tireless teaching, Fu Jiang has already cultivated a good ability, and he didn't wait for the meat and bones to hit the ground, so he caught it in the air with a snort, and then squatted aside and began to deal with it wholeheartedly.
The people in the tribe, one by one, are holding a big bowl and squatting on the ground to deal with the hot soup, since the boiled meat was made out by Han Cheng, this way of eating has been popular in the Qingque tribe, especially in the current weather, drinking two bowls of hot soup, the body is warm, not to mention how comfortable.
Inside the cave, farthest from the fire, near the entrance, there were three women, two sitting on the ground and one lying on the ground.
Regardless of whether they were sitting or lying down, there was a surprisingly consistent movement - both eyes were all looking at the people of the Qingque tribe who were feasting.
