Chapter 52: Blood by the Lake

The wind is getting warmer and warmer, and the ice in the river has accumulated on the surface of Zihua Lake, and the tender green grass seems to have come out overnight.

"This year we are going to open a few plots of land and grow food!"

"Also, while the rabbit has just gone out of hibernation, dig a few more rabbit holes to raise and eat meat!"

"Last year's trap needs to be fixed!"

"In a few days, you can start fishing!"

"The cotton fields should also be visited by someone."

The tribe became lively, everyone began to get busy, the pigsty and houses were repaired, everything recovered, and the mood was relaxed, and everyone adapted quickly after Luo Ze became the new patriarch.

Don't look at the fact that he didn't care about anything except fighting in the past, hiding in the corner and quietly closing himself, but now he is like a fish in water when he deals with the affairs of the tribe.

Unfortunately, on a sunny afternoon, unexpected news shattered the peace of the tribe.

"Found a lot of blood by the lake, and there are human footprints around?"

Luo Ze was holding a stone hoe in his hand, looking like a textbook peasant, and his expression immediately became serious after hearing the return of the clansmen.

Unlike the silly and happy children, the adults of the tribe are secretly wary of the eventful spring.

"Is it the squad that is going to check the traps?"

Jun Qianqian immediately asked worriedly, Luo Ze's house has become half of the village chief's office, and the clansmen often discuss things in the courtyard.

"Not our people."

The young man who sent back the news also had a bad face, it was not a member of the Purple Flower Tribe, it was another tribe that had fled here, and judging from the amount of blood, the injured should have been cold.

"Do you want to find that person?"

"Send someone to find it, three or four people are on the same road, and don't spread too far apart from each group."

Luo Ze nodded immediately, they had to find the source of the bloodstains, otherwise the tribe would not be sure that any danger was being attracted.

"Is it serious?"

Jun Qianqian looked at everyone so serious, and pulled the corner of Kaisha's clothes a little worriedly.

"It's not sure yet, it's fine if it's just a beast attack, but if the tribe goes to war, it's troublesome."

The older Kai'Sa was certainly more familiar with the dangers that the tribe faced each season, and the restlessness of spring had everyone on their toes, and this was the season when wars were most common.

Plants have just sprouted, wild beasts are hungry, and a tribe with few resources will fight for survival after a winter.

"We're not even in the era of cold weapons now."

Jun Qianqian couldn't help but start worrying, their tribe has few people, and if they lose, they will not make wedding clothes for others with their efforts in the past year.

The search team soon came back with the news.

"It's not the tribes that go to war, it's the wolves that attack?"

This is unreassuring, and neither scenario is good news.

Luo Ze led the team to search along the bloodstains, and sure enough, they found two members of the Qingzhu tribe, one of whom was seriously injured and died, and the other was also dying.

"With such a serious injury, he definitely won't survive tonight."

The wounded man was brought back, and he had a long laceration on his shoulder, and white bones could be seen.

"We'll have to ask for information."

Luo Ze frowned, he wanted Jun Qianqian to enter the house, not to look at this kind of scene, but found that her eyes were full of familiar eagerness.

This is a prelude to making trouble.

"This man is going to die anyway, why don't you let me save him?"

Jun Qianqian's tone was like catching a bamboo rat suffering from heat stroke.

If this was usual, she might not dare to start with a cautious nature, but now that the situation can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, she has become bolder.

"What are you going to do?"

Luo Ze immediately went to prepare tools like a little assistant, and he completely lost the appearance of the stable patriarch before.

"I need a lot of clean water and a torch."

Jun Qianqian took a closer look at the wound, the most deadly thing about the bite of a beast is infection, the wound must be cleaned, and the irregular wound cannot be sutured.

Otherwise, burn it with fire.

Jun Qianqian stretched out her hand and pressed on the wound, this person was lucky not to hurt the subclavian artery, the flame can make the blood vessels atrophy rapidly, and play a role in stopping bleeding and sterilizing.

The tools at hand can only be like this, just look at the one who escaped once in nine deaths, and his life is not hard enough.

"Ah——!!!h

As the flames approached the wound, the unconscious wounded erupted in an earth-shattering scream.

Bimo had a nightmare.

The Qingzhu tribe was far away from the Purple Flower Tribe, and even if they were attacked by wolves and needed to call for help, they should not have come in this direction, but in the rout of the night, they all lost their way.

The torches were extinguished, and the people fell one by one, and the darkness was filled with the smell of blood, and screams and weepings followed.

Bimo didn't know how to escape to the lake, there were only two of them, and their companion's arm had been buried in the wolf's belly, covered in blood.

His companion was angry, and he was also the last of the crossbow, and just when he thought he was about to die like this, a sudden sharp pain woke him up from his coma.

"Wow, I'm not like a curator and a rescuer, but like torture."

Jun Qianqian was still holding a torch in her hand, and the air was filled with the familiar smell of barbecue, but her hands didn't shake, and the eyes of the surrounding people were frightened, and some of them were about to vomit.

Bimo's eyes were confused, obviously not knowing that the initiator of the severe pain was actually the harmless girl in front of him.

"This is ......"

Bimo struggled to get up, but was poked on the bed by Jun Qianqian with a extinguished torch, and the wound still needed to be bandaged, she was very dissatisfied with the movement of the wounded.

If you keep bleeding, you'll have to burn it again.

"Are you from the Qingzhu tribe?"

Luo Ze saw that the person was awake, and hurriedly asked, who knows if this person faints again, will he wake up?

"Yes."

Bimo nodded half a beat slower to react.

"This is the Purple Flower Tribe, what about the rest of you? How many people are still alive? In which direction did the wolves go? ”

Luo Ze didn't have time to comfort Bimo, he had to figure out which direction the wolves were going, and whether they would attack the Purple Flower Tribe next.

"Qingzhu tribe, there is no more!"

Thinking back to the dead people, Bimo suddenly cried bitterly.

"How is that possible?!"

You must know that the Qingzhu tribe is much more prosperous, and it was wiped out like this, what kind of scale of wolves must be.

Wolves are very powerful predators in nature, and they can occupy the top of the food chain anywhere.

It's not just that wolves have claws and fangs, but the grouping of wolves is the most terrifying thing about them.

During the season when food is plentiful, they generally live in families with more than a dozen heads.

But when food is scarce, they will form large groups of hundreds, and under the leadership of the wolf king, they will hunt large game such as bighorn deer and buffalo, and will also attack human tribes in an organized manner.
