At the foot of the two small hills is a cave that can accommodate thousands of people, and the entrance is wide, overgrown with weeds, and the rock walls are wet.

The other end of the cave seems to be connected to a certain place, the air is forming a convection current, and it is late autumn, and occasionally a cloudy wind blows out of the cave, making people shiver.

But it is better to spend the night in a cave than to be bed by the sky and the earth.

More than a dozen other tribes have arrived, and it is a gathering of thousands of miles, and each tribe is telling about how their tribe is eating, where there are new deer herds, and what plants are found that cannot be eaten.

More than 200 people from Gu Guo and his party were sitting at the edge of the crowd, and the number of people from the other dozen or so tribes participating in the gathering was only more than 400 people, and Gu Guo and his group attracted everyone's attention.

The priests, the leaders of more than a dozen tribes, looked at the large crowd in amazement, and finally recognized the mother and licorice in the crowd, and gathered around them.

"Stones, licorice, why did you bring so many people, children and old people?"

"We were robbed of food, and my son also died, her name is Huaihua, and her mother, you know, is a priest of their tribe, and she has not been able to escape." Licorice said that, pulled up the red-eyed locust flower standing aside, hid his face and cried.

"Now the people of licorice and locust have no food for the winter, and there are not many men who can hunt, and the fruits collected by the women alone will not survive the winter." Mother said.

"My son asked them to join our clan so they could survive the winter."

"Join your clan?" The leaders were astonished, since ancient times, only people from the original tribe have been separated, and they have never heard of tribal integration.

"Do you have enough food? That's two more tribal mouths! A leader named Matsuko asked.

"With a bow and arrow, we have endless food!" At Gu Guo's signal, Hua raised his bow and arrow from the crowd and shouted loudly, causing everyone to look sideways, thinking how could there be endless food in the world?

The people of licorice and locust flowers have seen the power of bows and arrows, and they can accurately shoot thigh-thick tree trunks from a dozen paces away.

At this time, a man walked out of Songzi's tribe, holding a piece of rope tied with animal skin, the rope was folded in half, and the animal skin was tied in the middle, Gu Guo recognized it as a slinging at a glance, but what made him more concerned was the turquoise stone on the man's chest strung with a pile of animal teeth.

"Can't get enough food? I've been making this stone-throwing thing since I made this stone-throwing thing, and I don't believe you have anything better than this one I have! The man named Acorn said, and glanced defiantly at Birch, who was holding a bow and arrow.

At this time, Gu Guo wants such an effect, he needs to use bows and arrows to improve the voice and credibility of his tribe, so that the pottery coins can circulate smoothly, otherwise who would believe that a poor tribe can exchange these palm-sized discs for the food they need to survive?

"Second uncle, how sure are you in archery?" Gu Guo asked in a low voice.

"Probably that far." Hua pointed to a pine tree not far away, Gu Guo looked at it about thirty meters, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that Hua was able to shoot down the big bird.

Gu Guo clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up to the acorn, this is his heartfelt admiration for the pioneer like the acorn, from throwing stones with his bare hands to the invention of the sling, it is a huge leap, I believe that it will not be long before the bow and arrow will come out in this tribe, but he killed Gu Guo halfway, and directly cut off the process of history.

"Good! This warrior called Acorn, can you try it with my second uncle? ”

"Yes!"

Gu Guo walked to the pine tree identified by Hua, tied a piece of animal skin smeared with white stone powder to the trunk of the tree, and then walked to Hua's position and said: "You can hit that animal skin from this position, and whoever hits the most will win!" ”

The acorn squinted his eyes, the piece of animal skin was at least sixty paces away from him, and he would not have been able to hit it so far in the past, but the big words he said were like pretending to be out, and he couldn't get it back, so the acorn could only bite the bullet.

"I'll come first!" Acorn took the ten pebbles handed by his people, picked out one of them and wrapped it in the hide, and raised the slings above his head and whirled around. This tool, which accelerates by maneuvering and then shoots stones from the tangent direction of the circle, is more accurate and farther than hand throwing.

"Smack!"

It was the crisp sound of stones hitting the bark of the tree, and the people of the licorice and locust tribes were obviously standing on the birch side, and they all sighed: "This doesn't count, this doesn't count, it didn't hit the animal skin!" ”

Acorn's cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed, and said, "If you don't count, you don't count, come again!" ”

The acorn was very imposing, but the result was not satisfactory, ten pebbles, only two hit the hide, one was the first one to hit the trunk, and the rest were empty. But even the record of two or three out of ten made the Acorn clan cheer, it was a distance of sixty steps, and it took two or three breaths for people to run over, but he could hit Acorn!

Birch stood behind Acorn, unimpressed by the latter's results. If he didn't have a bow and arrows, he would have been the first to rush up to Acorn for the trick of throwing stones, but the reality was that his left hand was holding the strongest ranged weapon of the era.

In his right hand, he pulled out an arrow with a fine stone flake tied to the tip from the quiver on his back, and skillfully placed the arrow on the bowstring.

Birch was the first of the tribe to wield a bow and arrow, and the best archery in the hunting party, the arrows seemed to come to life under his aiming, cutting a perfect arc.

"Toot!"

The sharp stone arrowhead pierced the animal skin in an instant, and by inertia, the entire arrow burrowed into the bark.

"Toot! Honk! ”

Three arrows in a row, impartially, all on the skin!

But Hua was not happy, and there were 600 people watching his performance, and he was already imagining which tribe he was having fun with.

"Phew!"

The fourth arrow was missed, and it flew into the bushes beside the pine trees.

"Wow!"

As the leader of the hunt, Stone knew Birch's archery skills best, and he quipped: "Birch! You can't shoot three arrows! ”

The acorns' people coaxed on the side: "If you get hit three times, you won't be able to do it!" ”

Although they knew that the acorn was lost, the enemy's mistake could be used as a reason for their own hiatus.

Birch was the best marksman in the tribe after all, and after a mistake, only one of the six arrows missed, and there was no doubt that Birch won against the acorn.

Gu Guo took a freshly made wooden bow to the acorn, this bow was made of a straight elm tree, which was much better than the bow he had made before.

"Acorn, do you want this bow?" Gu Guo asked.

After seeing the power of the bow and arrow, Acorn tied the slingling rope around his waist and did not talk to anyone, and when he saw Gu Guo coming over with a bow and asking him if he wanted it, the resentment and shame of just losing the game were piled up on his face with the joy and surprise after seeing the bow, and the whole thing gave people the feeling of wanting to refuse and welcome.

"Yes!"

"Take the pendant around your neck for it!"

"This ......"

Acorn hesitated, this pendant was a talisman made for him by his mother, and the blood of the tribesmen flowed on the string of beast teeth, but the bow was so powerful!

"It's okay to just take that stone!" Seeing that Acorn hesitated, Gu Guo changed his words.
