The Blackstone tribe's winter camp is located in a col with rolling hills on one side and snow-covered primeval forest on the other, and it is said that at the end of the forest is an endless ocean of ice, and the fish in the ice ocean are as huge as mountains.

In the center of the camp stands a tall totem pole carved with yellow flame-like patterns.

Not all tribes are eligible to have a totem pole in the camp, and according to barbarian tradition, only tribes with more than a thousand people can erect a totem pole in the camp.

The Blackstone tribe was originally just a small tribe in the wasteland, but since the Blackstone Wuge became the leader, led the warriors of the clan to fight in the east and west, annexed the old enemy Raven tribe, and repelled the powerful Sulu tribe, it has become the most powerful barbarian tribe in the wasteland.

Over the years, the tribesmen of the Blackstone tribe have been well fed and clothed, without worrying about the invasion of other tribes, and the faces of women and children have smiles, and the hearts of the warriors have been happy. In the past, most of the hard-earned booty and hunt of the warriors had to fall into the hands of the elders, whose dogs were fattened and fed, while the wives and children of the warriors had to starve. Since the Black Stone Ug became the leader, the power of the elders has been greatly weakened, and only the warriors who participate in the battle are eligible for a share of the spoils, and the prey caught in the hunting grounds is to be divided equally among the entire clan.

In the hearts of the warriors of the Blackstone Tribe, they all hope that Blackstone Wuge can always be their leader. The young and brave Blackstone Wuge is only in his twenties now, if he is the leader for another twenty years, maybe the Blackstone tribe can develop into a large tribe of more than 10,000 people, and at that time he can hang a large flag on the totem pole, and the Blackstone Wuge may become the king of all the barbarians in the wasteland.

The warriors' hopes were shattered by an accident, and Blackstone Wuge was badly injured during the hunt in late summer, and is still unconscious. The sorcerers of the tribe say that the flame of Blackstone Wuge's soul has been extinguished, and that all that remains is a living, crippled body. The elders are secretly preparing to elect Iron Tiger as the next leader, but the warriors support Akdun as the successor leader. The two sides are deadlocked, and the people are panicking.

At night, in one of the largest tents of the Blackstone tribe, more than a dozen tribal elders were talking around the charcoal fire in the firepit, they had already drunk a lot of wine, and their faces were sweaty from the firelight.

Two bare-chested savage men carried a freshly skinned moose into the tent, and with a bang, set the moose on the fire, and the charcoal fire in the fire immediately burst into a high flame, roasting on the red moose meat, making a sizzling sound.

Elder Dadro was the most impatient, and as soon as the moose meat saw its burnt yellow color, he straightened up from the bearskin cushion, and with a bone knife about half a meter long, he cut off a piece of roast meat that was still dripping with blood from the hind leg of the moose, and picked it on the tip of the knife and chewed it heavily.

"There's a kind!"

"Fierce enough!"

The elders exclaimed in unison, and when the moose meat was roasted, they raised their bone knives and cut off pieces of fragrant moose meat.

"Since Blackstone Wuge has become a waste, then his belongings and women should be divided equally among us, how about it?" Elder Daudro finished eating the moose meat and said loudly.

Elder Xiyi picked up the skin bag beside him, took a big sip of wine, and said teasingly: "Dadro, even if you are given a hundred women, you will not be able to give birth to a son, I say, can you still get hard with that thing?" ”

Dadro has six daughters, but he has no sons, he is the most taboo in his life when others say that he can't give birth to sons, wiped the deer blood from the corner of his mouth, and said fiercely: "Xiyi, can I be hard, you can go back and ask your little wife, the custody is stronger than your stone spear!" ”

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Bama said in a low voice, "Don't quarrel! Since Blackstone Wuge is no longer able to wake up, then he is not the leader of the Blackstone tribe, and his women and belongings are naturally distributed by our elders. Now there is only one thing that matters most, who will succeed the leader of the tribe? ”

Dadro said: "Eight horses, Iron Tiger is the son of the previous leader, unlike Blackstone Wuge is a mongrel, our elders agree that Iron Tiger is the leader, but the warriors support Akdun, it is better to hold a tribal assembly, let Iron Tiger and Akdun have a public duel, Iron Tiger wins, naturally he is the leader of Blackstone." ”

After hearing this, Xiyi laughed and said, "Who can guarantee that Iron Tiger will definitely be able to defeat Akdun?" Even if the Iron Tiger can win, who can guarantee that the Iron Tiger will not become a leader like the Blackstone Woods? I'm old, and I don't want to gnaw on hard jerky like I used to do in the winter with my people! ”

After hearing this, the elders did not speak for a while, and each of them was thinking about his thoughts.

Eight horses looked at Xiyi a little strangely, the two of them have been good friends since childhood, after the black stone Wuge fell into a coma, they had secretly agreed to support Tiehu as the next leader, but for some reason Xiyi suddenly regretted it.

"Xiyi, what do you say you should do?" Although Dadro didn't like Xiyi, he still admired Xiyi's mind very much, and it was related to his own vital interests, so he didn't care about the unpleasantness that happened just now, and lowered his body and asked Xiyi.

Xiyi smiled at Dadro, turned his head to look at Bama and said, "Old friend, I did promise you a few days ago to support Tiehu as the next leader. Iron Tiger has courage, stronger than our elder's children, and is on good terms with your granddaughter Nari, if he becomes the leader, he should respect us old fellows, and I think the other elders think the same way as me. However, I suddenly felt that we were wrong, and if we wanted to have fresh barbecue to eat every day, we couldn't put all our hopes on Tiehu. Now that Akdun has the support of the warriors and is stronger than the Iron Tiger, we will help the Iron Tiger suppress Akdun, and when the Iron Tiger's strength surpasses Akdun, we will help Akdun suppress the Iron Tiger. Only in this way can the two evenly matched male wolves not be able to distinguish the winner from the loser, and the words spoken by our elders will have weight in the tribe! ”

Eight horses were silent, and Dadro was confused, and asked inexplicably: "Xiyi, I still don't understand, what do you mean?" ”

"I mean, it's better never to pick a leader!" Xiyi cut off a piece of barbecue meat and ate it contentedly.

After a long time, Dadro's cloudy eyes lit up, and he patted his thighs and shouted: "I understand! ”

Three days later, the elders arranged for Akdun to lead the warriors to attack the Sulu tribe, and Akdun did not understand why he wanted to go on the expedition in winter, because according to tradition, the barbarian tribes were at war with each other during the winter. But now that there was no leader in the tribe, the elders' decision was the supreme order, and he could not refuse.

After Akdun left the tribe, the elders took the unconscious Black Stone Ugra into the forest and hastily buried him under a pine tree. It may not be long before the barbarians of the Blackstone tribe will forget their former leader, the Blackstone Ug, but there is one girl who does not, and her name is Mei, and she is Nari's younger sister.

Mei is a huntress of the tribe, tall and athletic, but her appearance is very ordinary, not as glamorous as her sister Nari. The barbarians of the Blackstone tribe don't seem to have any impression of Mei, and when it comes to the granddaughter of the elder Hachima, everyone will think of Nari, and no one will notice the taciturn Mei.

After Mei grew into a young girl with a spring, she fell in love with the arrogant and domineering Black Stone Wuge, she loved so fiercely, but she didn't say what she thought to anyone. Mei felt that she was too ordinary, like a little grass, that Heishi Wuge should marry a beautiful woman like her sister Nari, and that she only deserved to hide in the crowd and look at Heishi Wuge from afar.

More than a month ago, my sister Na Hinata Mei asked for some red mushroom powder, saying that there was a male civet cat who always provoked her little female cat Snowball, and she wanted to use the red mushroom powder to stun the male civet cat, and then beat him with a wooden stick. As a huntress, Mei sometimes uses red mushroom powder when making poison bait, if the amount is small, the prey will faint for half a day, and if the amount is large, the prey will die of poison.

Mei gave Nari some red mushroom powder at that time, and asked Nari if she wanted to help, because the tanuki has a very smart nose, and if you are not careful when placing the poison bait, the tanuki will smell something strange, then it will not touch the poison bait.

Nari laughed and refused, saying that the male civet was actually stupid and not that smart.

On the day of Blackstone's accident, Mei was standing in the crowd. She looked forward to her hero killing the moose with her bare hands, and then pulled out the hot heart of the deer and raised it high with one hand to greet the people.

Mei believes in the great strength of the Black Stone Woods, and in the past few years, such a scene has appeared every time. In Mei's heart, only Blackstone Wuge is a real man, worthy of being the leader of the Blackstone tribe.

At the moment when Black Stone Wuge was knocked away by the moose, Mei was shocked, and in a trance, her heart seemed to be hollowed out.

That night, Tiehu and Nari came to see Grandpa Bama, Mei hid in the dark and saw it clearly, Grandpa slapped Tiehu angrily, sister Nari hugged Grandpa's legs and cried, and then I didn't know what Grandpa said to the two of them, Tiehu seemed to be very happy, and Sister Nari also looked happy.

Mei is a very smart girl, and she suddenly figured out the truth of the matter, her own sister hurt her sweetheart, and she may be an accomplice.

Mei was in pain, but she could not say anything, but she secretly wandered outside the leather tent of the Black Stone Ug, and she saw that her sweetheart was getting thinner and thinner, and his wives were each pregnant with ghosts, and no one cared about her husband's life or death.

More than a dozen wives of Blackstone Wuge, some of whom were daughters of elders of their own tribe, and some of whom were taken from other tribes, although he fought endlessly night and night, strangely enough, he had not given birth to a son and a half daughter.

Now that Heishi Wuge is seriously injured and unconscious, he no longer has the majesty of the past, and his wives have no reason to bend to meet them, some want to take the opportunity to escape, some want to find another backer, but no one thinks of taking good care of their husbands. Perhaps for them, they sincerely hope that Blackstone Wuge will die sooner.

In the huge Blackstone tribe, there may be only one person who really cares about Blackstone Wuge.
