……

In the cave.

"Xiongguo, which tribe are we going to?"

Looking at the children around her, the woman called Xiongguo also shook her head a little helplessly.

Fortunately, when they moved here last year, Xiong Shan brought enough food with them to save on food, and it really allowed them to survive the whole winter.

Since then, the two have tried to secretly return to the tribe, but the bear tribe has become a scorched earth by this time, and some of the bones found in the ashes obviously belong to their own people.

The two of them also thought about going to a tribe before winter came, but there were only two adults in the cave, and the remaining children were very young.

With so many children, the speed is naturally not fast, and the food can be carried is quite limited, if you can't reach the tribe you want to go to when winter comes, then you really fall into a dilemma, the two simply decided to wait until after the beginning of spring to act.

Fortunately, although the preparation time was short, the supplies were relatively sufficient, and the two of them were busy with a group of children, and they also prepared enough wood.

There are not many activities in winter, not to mention that they have been trapped in the cave, basically they rest in the cave, and only occasionally do some activity, so that the consumption of food and wood is not much, after all, the cave is still relatively warm.

But now it's time to make a decision, although the rest of the food is not too small, it will definitely not be able to continue to keep them going, and when they came here last year, the leader of Bear Mountain also told them that once the tribe falls, they will also go to other tribes this year.

The two women are from the Zhen tribe and the kite tribe respectively, and they are not familiar with the surrounding situation, although they know that the three tribes of grass, wood, and cattle are not far from their own tribe, but at this time they only know a general direction.

The most important thing is that it is not easy to decide which tribe to go to, and the one who is most likely to accept them is naturally the Kite Tribe, but they also know that the enemy at that time should be from the Kite Tribe, and the Teng Snake Tribe is the enemy who destroyed their tribe, and now there are only a few remaining tribes that can choose, and the Gang tribe is too far away, so they still have to choose one from several nearby tribes.

After the two were arranged here to take care of the children, they never saw anyone else, and although they went back later, it was impossible to judge who it was from the remaining traces, so the two of them had always believed in the wolf's blazing rhetoric, and it was Teng Snake who brought people to attack their own tribe.

Although they didn't have much intersection with Teng Snake, and they didn't participate in the previous exchange conference, the two of them still hated the enemies of their tribe, and even instilled the idea with the children of their tribe in this winter that as long as they could survive, they must avenge the people in the tribe.

I just don't know what they'll think when they understand the situation.

In the cognition of the two of them, the three surrounding tribes are not large, and if they are adults, they will naturally be happy to accept it, but now in the cave, except for the two of them, the others are children.

Although a dozen children are not a lot, but the total number of people is only sixty or seventy people, it is also very difficult to feed them, although the children are the hope of a tribe, but once the balance is broken, it is not necessarily a good thing for a small tribe, after all, the resources consumed from childhood to adulthood are still very much, especially before reaching adulthood, it is difficult to rely on their own ability to obtain enough food, and under the influence of the other, the burden of other people in the tribe is naturally much greater.

The situation of the three tribes is similar, as the two members of the bear tribe, who were relatively powerful before, they really looked down on a few tribes before, but at this time, there are only these few life-saving straws, the two discussed it, and finally decided to go to the nearest grass tribe to try their luck first.

And the cow tribe was put in the last option by them, after all, the two also learned from the mouths of the people who came back from the exchange conference, the situation of the cow tribe in the past few years has not been particularly good, every time they participate in the exchange conference, they will bring some messy beasts, but there are beasts in the forest, and everyone makes a living by hunting, so it is also a joke among the surrounding tribes.

But since Teng Snake joined, the situation has changed slightly, and the cattle were exchanged from the Niu tribe back then, and Xiong Shan said several times after Xiong Shan came back, and he always felt that Teng Snake was a big wrongdoer, which also made the two remember the situation of the Niu tribe.

Although there may be improvements in the past two years, the stereotype is not so easy to change, and they are also relatively close to Teng Snake, and the situation of other tribes is not clear to the two, so naturally they have to choose relatively safe.

But even if it is the current situation of the grass and wood tribes, the two have no way of knowing, but staying here all the time is definitely a dead end, it is better to take the children to try their luck.

Even if it is impossible for all the children to be accepted by other tribes in the end, it is good to survive a part, and even the two of them have made a plan, that is, if the situation is better, the children can also be arranged in different tribes.

Now there are a total of sixteen children in the cave, and it must be difficult for a tribe to accept, after all, there are not so many children of this age in these tribes, but if they are scattered to several tribes, I believe they will be more willing at that time, and the oldest of these children is only seven or eight years old, and the sense of belonging is believed to be good when they grow up.

Although the idea of the two must be revenge, the primary goal is to survive, and only by surviving can there be the possibility of revenge, and starving to death in the cave is really nothing.

Although the children are not very old, but at this time they all look like they are drumming, although there is enough food, but there are not too many animal skins to load, they are in a hurry, the food is enough to eat is already a great luck, even the animal skins for sleeping, it is barely a set of people, and these animal skins can be used in the cave, but in the wild it is very enough.

Therefore, the small number of animal skins could only be collected for sleeping, and the food was stuffed into their clothes, although it was not appropriate to do so, but it could only be so at this time, so this caused more than a dozen children to be like little chubby.

And the greatest burden was on the two women, who had spared two sleeping hides, which contained all the rest of the food, and whatever the result, it was impossible to return here until they had found a suitable place, and the food was to go as much as possible.

But this one package is full of hundreds of pounds, plus some other things, it is not easy for the two of them, but the children have no way to bring more, so they can only set off like this, once they set foot on the road, they will definitely consume some of the daily life, and it will naturally be easier when the time comes.

Glancing at the cave where they had lived all winter, the two of them took the child in the direction of the Grass Tribe.

The future of the two is unknown, now they only hope that the road can be safer, after all, the combat effectiveness of the two is relatively limited, even in the tribe, the two are not often involved in the hunting team.

Not to mention that at this time, there are only three stone axes and a spear in his hands, and he is also carrying more than a dozen children, if he encounters a fierce beast, he has almost no ability to resist, and even saving the children is a luxury.

Therefore, the two of them walked very carefully, observing the surrounding situation all the time, and would stop whenever there was any trouble, and only continue to act after they were sure that they were completely safe.

Although the speed is a lot slower and the energy consumption is relatively large, as long as it can be guaranteed enough safety, it is still worth it.

Although the dozen children are not very old, they are very sensible, and they do not make trouble along the way, and they walk obediently in the middle of the team, and even a few of the boys also picked up the wooden sticks and held them in their hands, obviously used as weapons, and the two of them were both relieved and sad.

Although they were brought a pot at that time, but the clay pot was too cumbersome, after thinking twice, the two of them finally only brought a few slightly larger bowls, without the pot in the want to cook is not so convenient, can only use the bowl to boil some hot water, barely soak the jerky, so that for the children whose teeth have not fully grown, it can also be easier to gnaw.

Even if the conditions were so difficult, the children had no complaints, but after walking for most of the day, they were still relatively tired for those who were already a little delicate, and as soon as they stopped, they all sat down on the ground one by one.

But seeing Xiong Guo and Xiong Bean, who were preparing food for them, several older children also struggled to get up and started to fight the two.

Looking at the tired faces, but still helping a few children, the eyes of the two suddenly moistened, in the past, these children were also the treasures of the tribe, although the conditions of the bear tribe were not so good, but at least food and clothing are not worried, unlike now, once stopped, they even have to find a way to warm themselves up, until the fire rises, the situation is better.

Most of the weight was given to food, so the amount of firewood that could be carried was not much, mainly some fire-starters, and just now it still had to be obtained on the spot, and without the help of a few children, it would take a while for the fire to rise.

Although the other children were not able to help much, they also took out the bowl and jerky early, and waited quietly, without making any noise.

"It's been burning from the afternoon until now, so you must pay more attention!"
