Chapter 24: Hunger Everywhere
"A little further on, there's a small tribe, let's go there and rest for the night, and we'll go again tomorrow. ”
The leader of the six generations protected his little daughter-in-law and said softly.
At this time, a month has passed since the burial ceremony of the Sha tribe witch, but the six generations of leaders are happy to play with their little wives in the Sand tribe, and they are quite happy and have dragged on for a long time.
Now walking on the road, I also ask for warmth all the way, and I care for her.
It is becoming more and more difficult to move forward in the wind and snow, because the cold winter continues, and the snowflakes have not melted, so that there is thick snow in many places, and the snow in most places is not above the knees.
There is no need to think about the sled, at this time, in addition to the giant wolves who go out to hunt, the other giant wolves are also hungry, and their team does not take the sleigh to travel, so they can only move forward in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Someone rushed to the front of the team, and the whole team slowly stopped, it was the warrior who was exploring the way ahead.
He went straight to the side of the six generations of leaders and said, "Chief, the tribe in front of you...... Don't go. ”
"What's wrong?" asked the sixth-generation leader, puzzled.
Warrior: "All starved to death." ”
The leader of the six generations was silent for a while, and said, "Go over and have a look." ”
The group struggled forward in the heavy snow, and the whole team became more and more silent.
Before the sun set, the group came to the station of the small tribe, which was stationed on the slope of the mountain, and at this time there was no totem fire burning and no trace of life in sight.
The leaders of the six generations strode in, looked left and right, and saw many old people who had frozen to death.
"Younger people don't see it, maybe ......"
The warrior next to him couldn't bear to speak, but everyone understood his words.
The young man ran, threw down these old and weak, took the totem of the tribe, and ran.
It can't be said that it is right or wrong, heaven and earth are already very cruel to human beings, who can blame anyone, after all, not all tribes have established enough glory like the Fire Tribe and the Sand Tribe to support the tribe to hold together.
What's more, the Fire Tribe and the Sand Tribe have only not reached this level, so when there is a life and death decision one day, how good can it be?
At the beginning, the second-generation leader was not sent to the Fire Tribe to survive on the way to escape the wilderness.
After two years of cold winter, the small tribe can no longer support it, and the large tribe can still rely on a huge territory and elite warriors to survive, but if the winter continues, it is difficult to say what the result will be.
"Light a bonfire, rest here for the night, and set off at dawn. ”
Six generations of chiefs ordered, and the warriors got busy.
The night is really not suitable for long travel, the direction is difficult to discern, and the cold wind and low temperature are also difficult to resist.
This night, the soldiers fell asleep around the campfire, and there were people who kept burning at night, otherwise when they woke up in the morning, they would not be able to freeze to death.
The sun slowly rose, and the team continued to move in the direction of the Fire Tribe without delay.
The journey could only be made during the day, and they had to race against the clock.
All the way forward, more than ten days later, I saw two dead and silent small tribes, so they moved forward silently, and when they were still a day away from the fire tribe, they encountered a little trouble.
It was a small group, with three or five totem warriors, who suddenly attacked them in the darkest hour before dawn.
"The totem warriors are outside, extinguishing the bonfire. ”
The leaders of the six generations reacted quickly, jumped up at the moment when the sentry soldiers blew the bone whistle, and arranged everyone to fight in an orderly manner.
The battle ended much faster than expected, and before the bonfire in the center was extinguished, the enemy, who had lost four totemic warriors, had already begun to retreat.
"Catch one alive and come back, don't chase it. ”
The leader of the six generations shouted at the warriors who wanted to rush out.
With the order, the warriors did not have a good chance to attack, but they caught two alive and retreated to the campfire.
"Don't put out the fire, the enemy is not strong, let's see who it is. ”
The leader of the sixth generation called out to the person in the center who was extinguishing the bonfire with snow, and looked back at the two captives who had been captured.
They were all young and strong, but they were all skinny, and their faces were purple and blue from the cold.
"What tribe are you from?"
The leader of the six generations looked at the two and asked.
The two glanced at each other, and the six generations of leaders did not stop them, just quietly waiting for their answer.
"I'm the Ye tribe. ”
"I'm the Bone Tribe. ”
The two replied almost at the same time, but not from one tribe.
"How did the two tribes get together?"
The leader of the sixth generation was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that the enemies who attacked him came from two tribes.
He hadn't heard of either tribe, and he thought it was an unknown small tribe.
"I couldn't be hungry, so I wanted to force something to eat, we robbed the bone tribe, and we were found to have a fight, and then we were together and robbed other tribes. ”
The warrior of the Ye tribe opened his mouth to explain, and the warrior of the Bone tribe nodded to the side.
"You don't know this is the territory of the Fire Tribe?"
The leader of the six generations asked suspiciously.
This place is only a day away from the Fire Tribe, within the hunting range, hunting here, it is a robbery of resources, if he is dealing with government affairs, this kind of person is going to kill chickens and monkeys.
In order for the Fire Tribe to survive, the continuation of other tribes can only lag behind.
"I know, but I don't know that you are from the Fire Tribe, if you know, you won't fight. ”
The warrior of the Bone Tribe spoke, a little annoyed.
"Knowing that it is the territory of the Fire Tribe, you dare to come, you are bold enough. ”
The leader of the sixth generation came to the two of them, wanting to take a closer look at where the two of them came from so boldly and dared to spread wild land in the fire department.
"No, now many small tribes are gathering on the side of the Fire Tribe, they can't survive anymore, and they want to ask the Fire Tribe for help, and we originally came to ask for help, but ...... But the Fire Tribe doesn't help, and we have to survive on our own. ”
"If you want to survive, you will rob the food of other tribes? What small tribe has food in this cold weather...... Wait, you're not stealing food, you're eating people?
The leaders of the six generations were really a little surprised, had these people already begun to eat people?
The two of them were silent, acquiescing to the words of the six generations of leaders.
"You ......"
The leaders of the six generations wanted to teach a lesson, but found that they really didn't know how to teach a lesson, and in such an environment, it was normal to eat people.
"Do you know how the Fire Tribe is doing now?"
The six generations of leaders asked.
He had been delayed for a long time in the Sand Tribe, and people had already begun to eat people here, which was really beyond his expectations.
"The Fire Tribe is okay, and the hunting team often comes out, so we don't know what's inside. ”
The Ye tribe warrior hurriedly said, he is a little smarter than the bone tribe warrior, and he knows that if he performs better, he may survive.
"We've never done anything to the Fire Tribe, and if we're not hungry, who eats people? Please, spare us. ”
As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, begging the six generations of leaders to let him go.
The Bone Tribe warriors next to him finally came to their senses, and kowtowed together, begging for forgiveness from the six generations of leaders.
The leader of the six generations frowned, if it was a peaceful season, he would definitely not let these people go, but now......
"Fuck off. ”
The leader of the sixth generation scolded and waved his hand to let the two leave the temporary station.
