"Finally gone!"

After the people of the Worm Tribe left, Black Feather exhaled deeply.

"It's going to be difficult, in order to deal with these guys, all the salt of the tribe has been taken out, and some of it has been scraped together from the tribesmen."

Black Feather sighed again, worried about the fate of the Stone Tribe.

"I think it's going to be okay." Jiang Heng said loudly, he didn't want the Shi tribe to perish, because his current fate was already linked to the Shi tribe.

The ghost knows that when he arrives at the Worm Tribe, those people will not listen to their own nonsense again, and maybe they will be killed directly.

Therefore, only the stone tribe is the safest.

His mind was also spinning rapidly, trying to construct a way to help the Stone Tribe survive this difficult time.

"I also believe that the Stone Tribe has survived countless calamities without being destroyed, and this time it will definitely survive."

Hei Yu said with a smile, but he didn't have any bottom in his heart.

Back in the tribe, Shi Song had already led people to chase the Adamantite Gold Spear, while Black Feather led people to store the dried meat as winter food.

Then he gave the sharp-horned dragon captured today to everyone, and the sharp-horned dragon had 100 catties, and after leaving 25 catties for the hunting warriors, he took out 50 catties to make jerky, and the remaining 30 catties were divided.

The totem warriors have twice as much as ordinary people, and after dividing it, each person can't get a catty, plus fruits, and can only barely eat enough.

In fact, it is now approaching autumn, there are many fruits, and it is not a big problem for the tribesmen to be full, the main thing is that the winter is terrible.

From the beginning of winter to the first two months of next summer, there is no wild fruit, and you can only rely on hunting, which is the most difficult time.

"Everybody came over and helped cut all the fruit and make it into dried fruit."

Black Feather commanded everyone to come over and help make the fruit.

"Chief, how much food do we have to save for the winter each year?"

Jiang Heng asked while helping to cut the fruit.

"Everyone needs at least two catties of food a day to barely withstand the cold winter, and more than three catties of food to be full, and it can't just be dried fruits, but meat."

The chief said slowly, dried fruit can only be fruitful, without nutrition, and no meat can withstand the cold at all.

According to the minimum standard, one pound a day for one person, thirty-five pounds for thirty-five people, at least five months in winter, one month in spring, and one hundred and eighty days in six months.

That is to say, at least more than 12,000 catties of food, and if you ensure that everyone is fed, you will get 20,000 catties.

But it's actually more than that, because the food is still lost, it's moldy, it's rotten.

And fruits and fresh meat cannot be preserved, they have to be dried or smoked, which will shrink greatly.

One pound of dried fruits requires five or six pounds of fresh fruits, and one pound of dried meat requires three or four pounds of fresh meat.

If you only collect fruits, you also need to harvest 50,000 catties of fruits in summer and autumn, even if you count all the six months in summer and autumn, you will get more than 600 catties of fruits every day.

Coupled with the daily consumption of the tribesmen, they have to have at least 700 catties of fruit, and the stone tribe can only collect about fifteen people, so it is impossible to complete the task.

Of course, it is also possible to hunt in winter, but it is more difficult, and there is a high probability that it will not be enough to eat.

There is also a lack of food for many fierce beasts and beasts in winter, primitive people are weak and delicious, and they gather together, and they can't burrow or fly, so they are very good hunting objects.

Every winter, the tribes starved to death, and many small tribes were wiped out.

Even medium-sized tribes will have a hard time, and only large tribes can barely save themselves.

This is also the reason why the various tribes will fight each other before the arrival of winter, all in order to survive.

"How much grain does the Stone Tribe have now?"

Jiang Heng asked again,

"Less than 3,000 catties of dried fruits, and only more than 1,500 catties of jerky."

Chief Black Feather said slowly.

These words made Jiang Heng mumble in his heart, this distance of 12,000 catties is not a star and a half.

It's the last month of summer, and then there's another month of autumn, and then it's winter.

With this little food reserve, even if other tribes don't attack in winter, the stone tribe will starve many people to death due to food shortages, and finally be destroyed.

"That's why the people don't have enough to eat at this time of year, because a lot of food from hunting and gathering is stored for the winter."

Hei Yu said slowly, and also solved one of Jiang Heng's doubts.

Obviously, there is not a shortage of food now, and the tribe is still so thin because most of the food has been stored for the winter.

"The food problem is okay, with the konjac you brought, it can solve part of it.

The biggest threat right now is the Bug Tribe, what do you think we should do? ”

Wu walked over, looked at Jiang Heng and asked.

"I don't think we should evacuate, it's no different from sending us to death, it's going to be winter soon, and we can't resist the cold winter when we leave here."

Jiang Heng thought about it and said, first of all, he denied the option of moving out.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, evacuation is absolutely impossible, not to mention that a large number of materials cannot be moved.

Let's just say that so many old and weak women and children in the tribe are simply walking blood food when they go to the forest, and before they can find a new home, they will die.

After a pause, he continued:

"I think we can go out and have a look, use salt to exchange supplies with other tribes, seek shelter by the way, or find a new home along the way, and prepare to move out if it really doesn't work.

Maybe we can meet some wanderers outside, and bringing them back can also strengthen our tribe and help us get through it.

Also, we're going to start laying a lot of traps and protective belts in the outer forests to prevent the Bug tribe from sneaking up. ”

After hearing this, Wu nodded slowly, indicating that he recognized Jiang Heng, who was worthy of being a person from a big tribe, and his knowledge and vision were much broader than those of the clan.

"What's more, we can no longer limit the food of our people, and only when we are full can we have the strength to work and deal with the enemy.

As for the lack of food in winter, I think I can use salt instead, and I'm trying to find it, maybe it can be solved.

The important thing now is the present, the moment can't be passed, and no matter how much food is saved, it is also a wedding dress for the insect tribe. ”

Jiang Heng then said that he had to discourage this kind of thought, he didn't want to die.

"You're right, the Stone Tribe has reached the point of survival, and it really shouldn't be the way before."

Wu nodded, commented, and then asked people to take out thirty catties of fresh meat that was ready to be made into jerky and give it to the clansmen.

"Why did you send another pound of meat? Don't you have to make jerky? ”

"Yes, Wu, we have enough to eat ourselves, let's make the rest into jerky."

When the meat was shared, the people became a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, don't worry, eat with confidence, only when you are full can you have the strength to work.

As for the winter food stockpile, you don't have to worry, there is me. ”

Wu looked at the clansmen and said with a smile.

"Oh oh oh, thank you!"

"Great, I can finally have a nice meal!"

"Wu is really great, and so are the totem warriors!"

Hearing Wu's words, the clansmen cheered, and they felt that Wu must have found a better way to say this.
