Chapter 22: Storage
The wall outside the Serpent Tribe's residence was a source of confusion for the young leader, who had not had it the last time he had visited.
Groping his way to the wall, he stretched out his head to look into the wall, although it was covered with snow, he could see that this was indeed the place where the snake tribe had lived, and the footprints of different shades on the snow were good proof.
The young leader thought for a moment, then pressed his hands on the top of the brick wall, and with a single force, his whole body rolled into the wall and rolled in the snow for a while, before he stood up, patted the snow off his body with his hands, and walked towards the cave blocked by stones.
In the cave, there have always been clansmen sitting next to the entrance of the cave listening to the sounds outside.
The sound produced by the young leader when he climbed over the wall and entered the clearing was heard by the one-eyed sitting at the mouth of the cave, and in the darkness, the one-eyed made a few subtle warning sounds, and suddenly the whole cave fell silent, and the leader gently came to the mouth of the cave to listen to the sounds outside.
By the sound of his feet on the snow, the leader could tell that an animal was coming towards the cave.
As he got closer, the young leader knocked on the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave with his hand, and then opened his mouth and whispered: "¥......%&¥#**&%#@"
This is a dialect different from the spoken language of the snake tribe, if Su Yan comes to listen to it, he will definitely not understand a word, but he can hear that this is someone talking outside.
The leader analyzed it in his mind and understood that there was only one person outside, and this person was most likely not an enemy, but a special person who had come to find the snake tribe.
Seeing this, the leader asked Dali and Da Hei to come over, and several people worked together to push the big stone blocking the entrance of the cave open a gap, and through the gap, the leader saw the comer, a somewhat embarrassed person.
After making sure that there was only one person outside and no other danger, the entrance to the cave opened, and the leader, Dali, Daihei, One-Eye, and others walked out of the cave, and the future was half surrounded.
The embarrassed young leader spoke and made gestures as he spoke, and the leader made gestures as he spoke.
The two tribes communicate with each other, and the language is almost different, and they can only communicate with gestures, and even guessing, they can almost communicate.
After a while, the leader understood the purpose of the embarrassed young man, and knew that he was the leader of another small tribe that had been in contact with the Snake Tribe, and that he had come to the Snake Tribe, hoping for some food to keep his tribe through the winter.
If it was in the past, the leader would definitely let him get out, his own people's food was not enough, how could he give food to outsiders, and now, the snake tribe has too much food to eat, and the snake tribe is still a relatively kind tribe, and it is relatively friendly to other tribes.
Although he can't eat enough food at home, but giving food to outsiders is not something that the leader can decide by himself, the leader returns to the tribe and asks Wu and Su Yan to discuss this matter together, if Wu and Su Yan agree, they can send food to this small tribe that has been in contact with the snake tribe, and at the same time tell the two of them some information about this small tribe.
After some thought, Wu nodded in agreement, but Su Yan shook his head and refused.
Su Yan is young, but his status in the snake tribe is increasing day by day, and the leader must also respect Su Yan's opinion, which to a large extent represents the opinion of the gods.
Since Su Yan disagreed, the leader had to get up and go outside to reject the young leader.
Just as the leader was about to get up and leave, Su Yan grabbed the leader, indicating that he had something to say.
"Messenger, something?" The leader asked. (Mandarin gradually spread in the snake tribe, and the way of speaking began to change to modern people)
"Chief, our tribe needs more people, can we integrate this small tribe into it?" Su Yan explained.
It is better to say that it is to integrate, but it is better to say that it is annexation, this small tribe has little resistance in the face of the snake tribe, especially this small tribe is still plagued by hunger.
Su Yan's words not only made the leader fall into thinking, but also made Wu fall into thinking.
This year, the snake tribe to build the wall of the big project consumes too much time of the snake tribe, if the snake tribe has more labor, the construction of the wall can be accelerated, if you rely on time to increase the population naturally, you can't increase how many people in a year, even fewer adults, after all, there are many children who have died before they are minors, and children's resistance to diseases is much worse than that of adults.
If that small tribe could be accommodated into the Snake Tribe, the Snake Tribe would suddenly have seven more adult laborers, including three males, and ten children.
The Snake Tribe was not short of food, and it was not a problem to accommodate a small tribe of only seventeen people, and the Wu and the leader also thought it was a good idea, but the Snake Tribe had never experienced anything like this, and they didn't know if they were in favor of it.
The leader asked Su Yan a little unwillingly, "Divine envoy, is this God's will?" ”
Wu also set his eyes on Su Yan.
Su Yan knew that neither the witch nor the leader could make up his mind, so he had to say in the name of God: "This must be God's will, and God also said that in the future, similar methods can be used to increase the number of tribes." ”
Call!
Both Wu and the leader breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do God's will." The leader of Wu and the leader replied one after the other, agreeing to try to accommodate this small tribe into the snake tribe, and the specific things had to be done by the leader.
The leader left the cave and came to the young leader, making various gestures as he spoke.
The leader's words roughly mean that the other party will integrate the entire tribe into the snake tribe, and the snake tribe will treat them as if they were their own people, and the most important thing is that the snake tribe has enough food, and everyone can eat enough.
By the way, the leader also coerced and lured the young leader to understand his current situation, if he didn't bring back food, he could only take his people out hunting at various risks, which was likely to cause the entire tribe to perish.
When the young leader understood what the leader of the snake tribe meant, the words that he didn't understand immediately became sharp, and as the leader, he was unwilling to integrate his tribe into the snake tribe.
Angry, he turned around and ran, unwilling to talk to the leader of the snake tribe anymore, and Da Hei, One-Eyed and others still wanted to stop him, but were stopped by the leader, and let him go, hoping that he would understand the current situation facing his tribe.
The young leader ran and ran, and was about to run to the wall, but his pace slowed, and tears welled up in his eyes, he knew that the snake tribe was almost his last chance, and if he could not get food from the snake tribe, his people would either die in the hunt or starve to death and freeze to death.
"What the hell should I do?" He fell to his knees in the snow and wailed.
In terms of age, the young leader should be only about twenty years old this year, and the whole tribe is pressing on him, and he needs to find a way out for the tribe, and he is already tired.
