The tribe planned to set out to hunt mammoths in early autumn, as it was only at this time that the fur-covered beast migrated from the far north to the south. The mammoth hunt was a rare feat for the tribe, and it lifted the spirits of all the fallen people. Each able-bodied tribesman will be absorbed into the expedition and travel long distances to the northern tip of the peninsula where it borders the mainland
Mammoth. During this time, they traveled, hunted, slaughtered, dried and boiled oil, and transported the meat and oil back to the cave, and all other normal hunting activities came to a halt. There is no guarantee that they will be able to find the mammoth when they arrive at the location; If you find it, you can't be sure if you can defeat the mammoth. If they defeat the mammoth, the massive beast will give them enough meat to feed the tribe for months at a time and plenty of oil necessary for life, and it will be worth it.
From the beginning of summer, hunters keep their daily hunting schedules tightly lined up and go out hunting frequently to get more meat than usual. The purpose of this was to prevent the mammoth from failing in the hunt and returning empty-handed, so that the tribe would not be left without a little food to survive the ensuing winter. In addition, the next family meeting will be held the following year. The convention takes place in the summer, and hunting is not allowed throughout the season, spending time traveling long distances to reach the cave of the tribe that hosted the convention. Take part in the grand festival before returning to your cave. The family assembly has been held regularly for a long time, and the Burun tribe must be present on time, which makes it impossible for the Burun to start preparing from now on, stocking up on food and supplies for the tribe to meet the needs of life for the next winter after the family assembly. That's why he decided to go mammoth hunting. If they have stocked up for the coming winter season, and if they have succeeded in hunting mammoths, they will be given the initiative to stock up a year in advance for the family assembly enough dried meat, vegetables, fruits, and grains for two years' lives.
In order to go out hunting, the tribe is not only full of excitement, but also an undercurrent of suspicion. The success of the hunt depended largely on luck, leading them to believe that there would be an omen on many very hidden occasions. Therefore, they acted carefully in all their actions to avoid arousing the wrath of the gods and adversely affecting the tribe's mammoth hunting. Women also take extra care when cooking food, because burning food also means bad omens.
The men frequently perform religious ceremonies for each of the hunting plans. Prayer sincerely to the invisible spirits that exist around the cave and ask for a soothing of anger. The Great Mogue is busy concocting spells that bring good luck, fiddling with the skeleton and skull of the cave bear in the small cave, and casting powerful witchcraft. When everything is going well in their daily lives, they are relieved and take it as a good omen. And when adversity arises. Make them doubly worried. All of them are in a nervous and restless state of mind. Bren proclaimed

From the day when Boo was going out to hunt mammoths, he didn't sleep well. Sometimes, he even wished he had forgotten about the hunt.
Burren called a meeting of the men to discuss who would take part in the hunt and who would stay to guard the cave, for the defense of the cave in which it was inhabited was also a matter of vital importance.
"I'm thinking about keeping one of the hunters,"
The chief began to say that we were going out for a whole month of the cycle of phase change, and possibly extended to two cycles. Our caves are not going to be defended. ”
Hunters all want to take part in mammoth hunting. When Brun glanced at the hunters, they lowered their heads and avoided their gaze, fearing that they would meet the leader's gaze and be favored by the leader and stay behind to defend the cave.
"Bren, you need all the hunters to participate in this hunt,"
Zog gestured that my legs were not fast enough to keep up with the mammoth hunters, but my arms were still strong enough to wield a pike. The Bullet Belt isn't the only weapon I'll use. Dove's eyesight is gone, but he is not blind, his muscles are not weak, and he can still use clubs or pikeguns, at least to the point of defending the cave. Leave me and Dove behind, and as long as the fire continues to burn, the beasts will not dare to approach it. You can rest assured in the cave and worry about hunting mammoths, of course, I can't make a decision on that. However, I think you should take all the hunters with you. ”
"I agree, Bren-" Dove echoed. He leaned forward and squinted, "Zog and I can defend the cave after you leave." ”
Bren shifted his gaze from Zog to Dove, and returned to look at Zog. From the heart. He didn't want to leave a single hunter behind, and he didn't want to lose the chance to hunt successfully by reducing the number of hunters.
"You're right, Zog,"
Bren said with a final gesture. "Just because you and Dove can't take part in the mammoth hunt doesn't mean you don't have the stamina to defend the cave. It's the tribe's luck that you can think calmly and be proactive. I'm lucky that your former second-in-command can still use his wits to help me come up with good ideas, Zog. ”
Bren's praise made the old man's self-esteem respected.
The hunters were relieved that none of them were offered to stay. They are two
The girl asked, "You should have a lot of souls with you, because you have saved many lives."
Iza replied: "That's why women in medicine have her special status. Ella. A medicine woman has carried a part of the soul of all the people in her tribe, including men and women. For the whole family, it was mainly people from her own tribe. It's her duty to help
Help every tribesman who is born into this world, and take care of all tribesmen for their lives. When a woman becomes a medicine woman, everyone gives her a part of her soul, including those who have not been saved by her, because she does not know when she will save whose life.
