Chapter 21: Hunger
Fifth Xuan looked at the six generations of leaders who went north, and silently blessed the Sand Tribe in his heart, hoping that they could come out of the grief of the death of the Sand Tribe Witch as soon as possible.
According to the season, it should be spring and summer at this time, but the heavy snow is long, spring, summer, autumn and winter have long disappeared, and only the cold winter has become the protagonist between heaven and earth.
It has been half a year since the Spirit Claw attacked last winter, and that time the Fifth Xuan deliberately asked the wolf totem to go to the Sand Tribe, invited the Sand Tribe Witch, and communicated with the leaders of the six generations.
The Spirit Snake Department and the Spirit Thunder Department have almost become the heart disease of the Fifth Xuan, and they have to think about it in their hearts every day, and they have to look south for a while, but they have never seen them coming.
Until the beginning of this year, there were no two departments, but they waited for the messenger of the Spirit Snake Department.
The messenger arrived, and there was only one thing: to make peace.
The continuous cold has made it difficult for the tribe to survive, and war can be avoided if it can be avoided, this is the intention of the Spirit Snake Department.
They had fought with the Fire Tribe, and they knew that the Fire Tribe was strong and had no intention of fighting again.
In order to show their sincerity, they persuaded the Spirit Thunder Department not to move in this direction, and this area, as a hunting ground for the Fire Tribe, was recognized by the two Ministries.
This is not considered to be a diplomatic relationship with the Dragon Tribe, because the emissary only represents the Spirit Snake Tribe.
After the spirits of the dragon tribe were dispersed, they had gradually escaped from the control of the central government, especially in this long winter with no end in sight.
The leaders of the six generations agreed to the peace of the Spirit Snake Department without hesitation, because the Fire Tribe also began to face the problem of a shortage of prey.
It's not that there is no prey, but the prey is so skinny that there is little flesh and blood, which is not enough to cope with the appetite of the tribesmen.
In the face of such a situation, there is nothing that the Fifth Xuan can do, this is a disaster caused by the force of nature, even if he crosses the world, there is still no good way to face the wrath of nature.
All people can do is to unite sincerely and stand together through thick and thin.
Fortunately, those who have dissenting intentions in the Fire Tribe have basically been eliminated, which is the credit of the six generations of leaders, and people have remembered him and supported him more and more.
It's just that in the winter of last year, the wife of the leader of the six generations had a miscarriage again, which made the leader of the six generations mentally depressed for a long time.
But time can soothe all the pain, and by now, the six generations of leaders have completely pulled themselves together.
After receiving the news of the death of the Sand Tribe, the six generations of leaders personally led the team to mourn, and at the same time saw what the Sand Tribe needed to help.
The leader of the six generations left, and the management of the tribe should have fallen on the six generations of witches, but unfortunately he has been a little crazy recently, and he has fallen into the appearance of asking and answering himself every day, ignoring everything in the tribe.
Faced with such a situation, the leader of the six generations handed over the power to the Sun Totem Witch and let him temporarily manage the tribe, which was a reassuring arrangement.
The Sun Totem Witch himself is a disciple of the Six Generations of Witches and one of the two Witches in the tribe, and he has already proven his loyalty to the Fire Totem on the way back from the Sand Tribe, so everyone is very relieved.
There is nothing to do around, and the biggest problem facing the fire tribe is only food.
The wolf tribe has done everything they can to help the hunt, unlike the fire tribe warriors who also carry out rotational hunting, the wolf tribe warriors are almost all non-stop, running around for the hunt every day.
But even so, it still could not meet the consumption of the fire tribe, and people began to save food, and the old and weak did not eat if they could not eat, and many people even hit with snow water every day.
"Let the fighters eat, then let the children eat, we are old, we move around less, and we are not hungry. ”
Most of the Fire Tribe elders used this set of rhetoric to refuse food, but their increasingly thin bodies were still distressing.
"Is there really nothing that can be done about it?"
The wolf totem looked at the hungry old man who was lying or lying around the totem fire, and couldn't help but speak.
Among these old men, there are also old men of the wolf tribe, who voluntarily share weal and woe with the fire tribe, and do not eat more food because their tribe has strong hunting ability.
"The only way I can think of is to divide the tribe, or...... Migrated to the beach, but it was too hard. ”
Fifth Xuan gave his own answer, with a thick worry in his voice.
Splitting and relieving food pressure with a larger hunting range is a good way to do this.
But to be divided, the people who split out need totem fire to guard, otherwise in such weather, if they don't starve to death, they will freeze to death.
In this way, the sun, moon, tiger, claw, and mountain totems must be divided into a few, and these totems, except for the mountain totem, any one goes out alone, and he is not at ease.
It's easy to split, but it's hard to merge again, which the fifth Xuan has to consider in advance.
In addition to this option, another option is to go to the beach and return to the place where the Fire Tribe came from.
In the winter season, everything withers, but the sea is fine, even if the sea freezes, it can be chiseled, and then the fish can be hunted to satisfy hunger.
Of course, this is a method, but with the current state of the Fire Tribe, it is very difficult to cross the seaside that takes three years to walk.
Both options, no matter which one they are, have countless drawbacks, so Fifth Xuan didn't make a choice for the time being.
He also told the late Sand Tribe's witch, who was silent for a long time, and finally said that their Sand tribe would rather choose to try to cross the desert than leave the desert.
This is not because of ignorance, nor because he is nostalgic for his homeland, but because the sand totem cannot be separated from the desert, and the mutated sand totem can only live near the desert.
"Everything comes from the totem, if it really comes to that time, the people of the Sand tribe are willing to accompany the sand totem until death. ”
This is the answer given by the sand tribe witches, they want to accompany the sand totem, even if they die together, they will not hesitate.
"If you can't do it, the wolf tribe can leave the fire tribe, I won't blame you. ”
Fifth Xuan looked at the wolf totem and said.
This is not a temptation, he does not like to tempt others, especially the wolf tribe that he treats as a friend.
Without the Fire Tribe, there would be no famine for the wolf tribe that had no fixed residence, because they could chase their prey.
"What do you think, now that the dragon tribe has scattered many spirit tribes, and the wolf tribe is running around, it is not knowing whether to live or die. ”
The wolf totem gave him a blank look and said.
Fifth Xuan blinked in the totem and looked left and right at the wolf totem several times: "You are smart." ”
"Hmph. ”
The wolf totem twisted his head and walked away.
Looking at her arrogant appearance, the fifth Xuan smiled heartily, this guy has been with him for a long time, and he has really become a lot smarter, but this righteousness is ...... It still moved his heart.
The husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came, not to mention that he was only in alliance with the wolf tribe.
"Baxia, you just eat a little snow every day, is there really no problem?"
Looking at the weak appearance of the wolf totem dragging his legs in the distance, Fifth Xuan couldn't help but ask the little Wang Ba under him.
"Ang~~"
Xiao Wang Ba replied, which roughly means: I want you to take care of it.
Fifth Xuan smiled bitterly, when did there be so many tsunderes around him.
