No one can resist their temptation. No matter who you are, you can only give everything you have, and make an exchange with them that is fundamentally unequal but must be accepted.

"Zhanfeng, you and Xia Dong will go back immediately. Call a few people and bring enough clothes and shoes. We can't stay here for long, we need to get them to camp as soon as possible. If there are not enough shoes, then borrow the locust-skin shoes that have been distributed for the time being. They were frostbitten, and without these things, they wouldn't have been able to walk far. Go ahead, Jianming and I are waiting here. Remember, bring extra layers of clothing. ”

Tianxiang hurriedly arranged the movements of his subordinates in a low voice, and with a look of arrogance and indifference, he strode to the group of women whose bodies were completely exposed and shivering in the cold wind. He looked at them critically, as if he were looking at a group of slaves who already belonged to him. This is a necessary step in the exchange between hunters and a manifestation of the power of the giver to the recipient.

Speaking from the heart, Tianxiang does not agree with such an approach at all. But now, he has to. Although, I have accepted all the knowledge of the ancients and have also become accustomed to some of their basic etiquette. But no matter what, it was my own idea after all. If you want to get the affirmation of most people, it will take time to run in.

Therefore, he did not want to break the rules of the dark world. Moreover, it is clear that these rules can also maintain their authority. You know, for some women who have to take refuge in him because of hunger, he really can't completely control them. You know, this is a group of women, women who have a huge rift and hatred with men.

Acknowledging the status of a man in person, accepting the exchange of food and necessity, turning to cutting off your head with a knife while you are asleep, and using your body as food. Such a thing is not an anecdote among hunters. It's an ordinary thing that happens from time to time.

Men can eat women. In the same way, women can naturally eat men. This is the same reason that wolves want to eat sheep.

If you want to blame, you can only blame you for not being strong enough and not smart enough. was actually deceived by such a small trick, and was fooled stupidly.

If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being greedy, thinking that you can exchange a small piece of worm meat for a woman who is willing to be with you for a lifetime. Moreover, this woman happened to be hungry.

A docile ram and a hungry she-wolf. What can happen when these two creatures are combined is not difficult for even a fool to guess.

Therefore, Tianxiang felt that it was necessary for him to stand in the middle of this group of women and completely put an end to their rebellious hearts. He didn't want his head to someday somehow become a bone rice bowl in the hands of a woman.

"My clan isn't far from here. Wait a little and they'll be bringing you the necessary clothes shortly. Put on your clothes and move around first. ”

It is not unreasonable to say this. Prolonged cold and cringe can easily lead to a kind of laziness and laziness. The act of curling up together and relying on their bodies to warm each other keeps the human body completely still. At this time, the blood circulation and flow speed in the body will naturally slow down to a minimum. Such a situation has a certain paralyzing effect on human body functions. Even in a warm room temperature, when a person stands up after sitting for a long time, he will feel an inexplicable soreness in his body. Judging by the footprints left by these women in and around the fire, they must have been in such a motionless position for a long time.

"Stand up! Can't sit down! With a stern reprimand, Tianxiang suddenly picked up a woman from the fire who did not obey the order and sat down without permission to keep warm.

This is a young woman. No, it should be said, she is still just a girl. A girl who looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She is thin and small, wearing only a thin sleeveless shirt. The shirt is very old, and the original smooth surface of the garment has shown signs of decay in many places. The strands of hollowed-out yarn are also supported as much as possible, so that the whole garment can still remain intact. However, even the most discerning person can see that the garment is so old that it can be torn into a pile of useless rags in no time with a light tear.

Such clothes, of course, are impossible to keep warm. Its function is only to cover the shame of the girl. Therefore, it is naturally not difficult to understand her behavior of sitting down to warm up without authorization.

Despite this, Tianxiang gave the girl a hard slap. The tremendous force suddenly made the girl's face, which was already blue from the cold, appear a palm print with a slight bruise in dark red.

"Don't sit down, stand up for me, move your hands and feet. If you want to die, then you can go to the fire. Sit down like this any longer, and your feet will be useless. As he spoke, Tianxiang took out a piece of roasted insect meat from his pocket. He tore off a piece and handed it to her.

"Let's eat a little bit first, and replenish a xiati force. It's much better to move in place than if you were to bake it directly. ”

The combination of grace and power is an absolutely effective way to control his subordinates. This was done on the one hand because of the mention in the knowledge of the ancients. On the other hand, it is also a necessary means. The women looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time. If they are not provided with a little food, I am afraid that they will not be able to support the long and difficult journey back to base.

A few small pieces of roasted meat were handed out in order, which caused a stir of joy among the hungry crowd. Every woman who gets the meat can't wait to bite desperately. The worm meat in the mouth could not wait to be fully chewed, and it was already swallowed in a hurry. Many people were choked up and rolled their eyes because of this.

"Eat slowly, don't rush." Tianxiang shook his head helplessly, walked quickly to the female leader, and slapped her on the back. The poor woman had just swallowed a piece of worm meat half the size of a palm, lacking saliva in her throat, and obviously could not allow such a huge piece of food to pass through. The piece of flesh stuck in mid-air made her go crazy, desperately choking her neck with both hands. Hopefully, this will be the way the food is swallowed. But in vain, it is of no use at all except for ruminating hiccups and suffocation caused by poor breathing. If it weren't for Tianxiang's timely movements, I'm afraid she would have continued to maintain such pain for a period of time.

"Eat slowly, whoever is in such a hurry, I will no longer distribute leftover food to her." Looking at the women around him who were choked and couldn't speak, Tianxiang couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. He didn't want these women to choke to death. It's a fortune, a huge fortune. If any of them died inexplicably for such a reason, it would be extremely worth the loss.

Admittedly, such a threat is more effective than any roar. Hearing the words of the new leader, the women also involuntarily slowed down the swallowing in their mouths. After all, the piece of barbecue in your hand is simply not enough to satisfy your stomach. If you want to be full, you must not anger the young man in front of you.

The role of food is truly amazing. An inconspicuous piece of insect meat actually brought a trace of limited energy to this group of women who looked lifeless, and also brought infinite hope to their almost desperate hearts. And the angry scolding that came out of Tianxiang's mouth gradually became no longer disgusting. Because, they found that the words of the young patriarch were not wrong. Simple jumping and moving on the spot does produce an inexplicable heat energy in the body. This warmth that comes entirely from the body is far beyond the reach of that faint flame. Although the coldness of the hands and feet has not been alleviated by this, the body that has been slightly stiffened is clearly showing signs of softening. The vitality of life that was imprisoned by the cold also returned to his body little by little.

The wind of war and the summer and winter are back. They were joined by twenty or so other strong clansmen. They brought with them what women needed most at the moment – clothes and shoes.

Clothing made of insect felt is warm and sturdy. Obviously, Ye Zhanfeng faithfully carried out Tianxiang's orders. He brought back twice as many felt clothes as a woman. Coupled with the necessary leather shoes, these delicate women should be able to support even if they go farther.

It's just that these clothes made of felt were obviously scavenged from the bodies of the clansmen by Ye Zhanfeng. Although the tribe has enough insect felt, in order to save raw materials, Tianxiang only ordered to sew a set of clothes for everyone. In his opinion, a roll of intact felt is obviously more useful than a piece of clothing that is not known to be the right size.

"Whatever! Let's get these women back smoothly first! Tianxiang smiled self-deprecatingly. Commanding the crowd to distribute the clothes one by one.

As for the girl who slapped him, Tianxiang personally took two sets of felt clothes and put them on seriously. Of course, with a serious expression, he did not forget to gently wipe away the tears flowing from the corners of the girl's eyes.

All the people saw this scene clearly.

"Now, let's go home!"

The wind is still blowing. Snow, still falling. The cold that permeates the earth is like an all-pervasive demon that wants to completely envelop the dark earth with its fear and power. He wants to use all his means to strangle all creatures that can survive between heaven and earth. so that all things in the world are subject to their own obscenity.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything.

A team of staggering and hard-fought men wrestling with the snow were clearly flouting its supreme authority. They made their way slowly through knee-thick snow, struggling through the desolate ruins. They were once the most powerful creatures in the world, and the only ones who ruled the world.

They are a combination of wisdom and strength - human beings.

Following the path he had come, Tianxiang led his people to shorten the distance between him and the camp little by little. He was glad that the wind of war had brought some of his clansmen. Without their help, I am afraid that with the physical strength of these women, they would not have been able to complete the journey at all. Days of hunger and cold had drained them so much of their energy. Since coming out of the old building, several women have been suffering from fatigue. The deep snow drained their little physical energy. The action of pulling the feet, which requires great effort with each step, also speeds up the speed of consumption. Without a man by their side, it's hard to imagine that they would be able to go on their own.

Perhaps, some of them will fall headlong in the snow and never be able to get up again.

All the women wore two sets of thick felt robes, and their feet were covered with soft locust leather shoes. The threat of cold was temporarily resisted, but the weak body did not get much help from it. Despite the help of men, it is inevitable that those who will be left behind will appear.

"Carry them on your back, and don't give up on a person. Remember, they are our people, our sisters. As he spoke, Tianxiang led by example, picking up a girl from the ground whose lips were blue from the cold and collapsed there weakly. With his hands together, he carried her on his back.

The girl was not very old, she looked to be only about eleven or twelve years old. Although the thick felt garment was worn on her body, she looked as if she was so strong. But through physical contact, Tianxiang could still feel the thinness and skinny feeling of the body wrapped under the felt coat.

She's light, she's small. The tender arm touched it, almost like a rough skin wrapped around a hard bone.

Men undoubtedly possess supreme majesty in the dark world. In particular, the leader of a group has the privilege and dignity of this aspect. They never disdained to help anyone, they were born to exist only to dominate others. All they have to think about is how to get more food and how to make their community stronger. As for the life and death of some of them, such a small issue is really not worth their attention.

After all, it's the trifle. Insignificant trifles. When didn't such a thing as a dead person happen? If the greatest help is to be given to any dying person, then what is the dignity of such a group leader? Where is the power? Where is the majesty?

"She's a lot like Tianrou, a lot like my sister." When I saw the girl slumped in the snow, her face full of sadness and helplessness. Such a thought suddenly popped into Tianxiang's mind. He felt that at this time, he was no longer exactly a clan leader. It should be a brother who can protect his sister, an older brother who cares for his sister.

Therefore, without having time to think about it, Tianxiang made such a move almost subconsciously. But he didn't expect what kind of impact such an action would have on the clansmen. What kind of changes will their image in their eyes have because of this?

No one spoke, and no one disputed it. As a bystander, the battle wind only saw that while Tianxiang struggled to carry the girl and strode forward, more clansmen also carried the women around him. And those who walked slowly with each other could not help but speed up their pace.

It's just that the expressions in their eyes are completely different. The man's eyes were full of admiration and respect for the young patriarch. And the woman shows a kind of gratitude and recognition.

The howling wind, mixed with flying snowflakes, swiftly passed through the gaps in the crowd, bringing with it the sound of sucking. The soft soles of the shoes step on the deep snow and make a compressed "squeak" sound. Streams of hot and humid white air erupted from the nose of the weight-bearing walker, which slowly rose with the sound of laborious panting. All the sounds combine to form a natural music full of hardship and harmony.

Half an hour later, the door of the library appeared in front of everyone.

The warmth on the faces made these women who had just stepped into the base feel a burst of joy. And the smell of broth in the air also made their bellies rumble for a long time. The liquid that grows in the mouth is like a spring that has been dry for a long time, and it is re-energized.

Several cauldrons on the fire are boiling pieces of white and tender insect meat. Its number is obviously far beyond the normal consumption range of the ethnic group. This is the food specially prepared to welcome the arrival of the women under the arrangement of the war wind.

"Eat slowly! Take it easy! Tianxiang shook his head and reluctantly snatched the clay bowl containing the soup from a woman's hand. She had eaten too much. From the time she picked up the bowl to the present, in just a few minutes, the woman had already drunk five bowls of broth that had just come out of the pot. The scorching heat didn't seem to have any restraining effect on her at all. That kind of strong desire for food, even the man who thinks he eats the most in the clan can only bow to the advantage.

Not only her, but all the women, at this moment, showed a crazy zhan desire for food. The cauldron containing the broth was also half empty in an instant. Looking at their momentum, it seems that they want to swallow as much as possible in the shortest possible time. In order to satisfy his terrible hunger for a while.

"Can't eat any more! If you still want to live, put down the bowl in your hand immediately! ”

Tianxiang's voice was loud, and there was obviously an undeniable majesty and anger in it. Although many women were dissatisfied with such an order, they still forced themselves to suppress their inner hopes, and according to the request of the young patriarch, they put down the broth that had been brought to their mouths with extreme reluctance.
