In the heavy snow, a group of people were walking with difficulty through the snow.
The snow was so deep that it was even below the knees in some places. Some people even slipped into the ditch accidentally, and the snow inside almost completely covered them.
Walking under such conditions is extremely strenuous.
Everyone walking was gasping for air, and a lot of white air rose up with their breathing.
Their beards, eyebrows, and hair on their foreheads all froze, looking like rime.
“@#￥w@#……”
After walking hard all the way, after a while, the leader of the Song tribe in the crowd, who was moving along with the others, gasped and spoke.
He meant to let everyone in the tribe eat something and rest before leaving.
After hearing what he said, these people walked forward for a short distance and stopped under a big pine tree.
The pine trees have dense branches and leaves, and a lot of snow is blocked by their branches and leaves. There is not much snow underneath, so it is very suitable for a short rest here.
There is a thick layer of pine needles accumulated under the pine tree, as well as empty pine cones, and branches that are not known to be broken by the wind or crushed by the snow of previous years.
These things are excellent fire starting materials.
Even if it is a little damp due to snow, it can still be easily ignited.
For one thing, it's snowing instead of raining.
Winter is cold and dry, and the frozen snow hardly melts. The constant blowing cold will take away moisture, so even if the dry firewood under the snow is wet, it is only the top layer of moisture.
There are basically no problems with the following.
In addition, there is not much snow under the pine trees, so it is easy to find dry firewood.
Another reason is that pine trees belong to the kind of oily skin that is rich in oil.
Whether it is pine needles, pine cones or pine branches, they all contain oil and can burn easily.
The people of the Song tribe cleared away the thick pine needles and other things accumulated here, creating an open space without firewood, and quickly lit two piles of fires.
Everyone found stones, placed them beside the fire, and soon set up a simple stove.
Put the clay pot that you brought with you in exchange for the Qingque tribe on top, and fill it with snow from the surrounding area.
After a while, the snow melted into water, and the food you brought was thrown into it, sprinkled with some salt, and boiled vigorously, and it turned out to be a clay pot of extremely delicious food.
The people of the Song tribe gathered around the fire, warming themselves while looking forward to the food being cooked quickly.
I didn't feel much while walking, but when I stopped, my sweaty body suddenly became cold.
The most important thing is to drink some hot soup, which is very attractive to everyone present.
The leader of the Pine Tribe was sitting here, looking at the fire looking a little distracted.
It has been such a long time since he made the decision, and he has led people to the direction of the Qingque Tribe and walked such a long distance, but his heart is still disturbed by this matter all the time.
, feeling worried and entangled about this matter.
He went there this time to take the people in the tribe to tell the people of the Qingque tribe that they could no longer persist and did not want to continue to work hard and wanted to join the Qingque tribe.
The tangle and worries of the leader of the Song Tribe stem from this.
Of course, I'm not worried about being given happy balls by the 'big money' of the Qingque Tribe because of this.
Nor was he worried that after he took his tribe members and braved the severe cold, the people of the Qingque tribe would not accept their tribe's surrender and would not even give them a chance to get happy balls.
When going to the Qingque Tribe to exchange things, the people in the Qingque Tribe who exchanged with me and others, after the exchange was successful, would sincerely tell them every time that they could come to the Qingque Tribe if they could no longer survive.
Here, you can join the Qingque tribe.
The hospitable and kind-hearted Qingque tribe is willing to accept them who cannot survive, and ensures that they can have enough food, clothing and clothing to live a life far better than before.
Every time there was an exchange, the people from the Qingque tribe would say something like this to them.
Over time, words like this have taken root in their minds like a curse.
Normally, it is not obvious when life is going smoothly, but once they encounter some difficulties, these words will keep wandering in their minds, making them unable to help but want to do this.
.
The leader of the Song Tribe believed in what the Qingque Tribe said.
Because of such long-term interactions, he has long understood what kind of tribe the Qingque Tribe is.
This is a tribe that is extremely powerful and wealthy, and is also extremely trustworthy.
If they say these words, they must be effective.
Moreover, the neighboring tribes of our own tribe also fell into the arms of the Qingque tribe last winter.
This year, when I took people to the Qingque tribe to exchange things, I met them. These people, who were originally dark and thin, have generally gained weight.
They all lived the wonderful life of the Qingque tribe people.
With such a precedent, the leader of the Song Tribe felt even more at ease.
But thinking about it this way, the situation is also like this. When he actually does this, the leader of the Song tribe still feels a little unable to overcome this hurdle.
Because of such behavior, after all, you have given up on your tribe, which will make your tribe no longer exist from now on.
This concept that had been formed in his mind for a long time kept appearing in his mind at this time, constantly tormenting him, making him particularly entangled and upset.
“@#@2……”
After eating the cooked food and resting here for a while, the leader of the Pine Tribe suppressed the thought in his heart that he wanted to rest here for a while, stood up, and followed him.
The people who were going to the Qingque Tribe said this loudly, urging them to get up quickly so that they could get to the Qingque Tribe as soon as possible.
Get things done early.
Although he was tangled in his heart, no matter what, when he really took action, the leader of the Song Tribe could still move towards the goal of the Qingque Tribe extremely unswervingly.
Of course, the entanglement and guilt in my heart will not be less.
This is just like the people of later generations who play with their mobile phones while delaying other things and wasting time. They feel guilty and uneasy, but they can't let go of their mobile phones.
There are a lot of similarities between their behaviors.
…
The wind is cold, but there is some sunshine in the sky.
The sunshine is not strong, nor does it bring much warmth to people, but it shines on the white patches of snow all over the eyes, piercing the eyes and making people feel like they can't open their eyes.
The leader of the Song Tribe is walking here with the people of the Song Tribe.
When they came out, they wrapped most of the tribe's furs in them, and they were all round and looked like furry bears.
But even so, even though they were traveling in such weather, everyone still suffered from frostbite.
The most severely frozen ones are the hands that need to be exposed from time to time to do something, the faces that are exposed and cannot be wrapped, and the feet that support them in stepping on the snow in such a cold winter.
.
The face of the leader of the Song Tribe became a mess at this time, and it was full of cuts cut by the cold wind.
These are not the most uncomfortable things. The most uncomfortable thing is the frostbite.
This is a relatively difficult existence.
Although the face of the leader of the Song tribe is already a mess, it can still be seen from this face that the leader of the Song tribe does not look good at all.
The biggest reason is not that he was frozen like this in the cold, nor is it that he is still struggling with the guilt of giving up the tribe to this day.
It's because the snow is too heavy.
It is indeed because the snow is too heavy, or perhaps the leader of the Pine Tribe has ignored that walking long distances under such weather conditions will slow down people's speed infinitely, and then continuously increase the distance between the two places.
long.
He has been to the Qingque Tribe, and has been there more than once. He knows the distance and how long it takes to go there.
We also know that walking in the snow is slow.
So when he made preparations this time, he just brought two extra days of food. It didn't matter if he planned to go to the Qingque Tribe.
But now, looking at the knot on the animal skin strip hanging on his clothes, and looking at the Qingque Tribe, which is still a long way away to reach, the leader of the Song Tribe suddenly felt like he was on fire.
.
He is worried and anxious for himself and others, as well as for the people he left behind in the tribe.
After all, there are many people in the tribe and the food in the tribe is limited. The food he and the people in the tribe left behind when he left was not much.
It will take such a long time for me and others to go to the Qingque Tribe. When the time comes, I and others will arrive at the Qingque Tribe and join the Qingque Tribe. Then I will set off from the Qingque Tribe to my own tribe to pick up people, and it will cost a lot of money.
time……
It’s freezing cold at this time, and lack of food can really kill someone!
The leader of the Song Tribe was really worried about the people in his tribe who stayed in the cave.
In fact, it wasn't just these things that were wrong, it was also his eyes.
He had a big problem with his eyes. He didn't know when they started to become red, swollen and stinging, and his vision became blurry.
The leader of the Pine Tribe is really worried about his eyes.
I'm worried that I won't be able to see the road in the future, and I'm even more worried that I won't be able to see the road before I reach the Qingque Tribe!
In this case, not only will you be finished waiting for others, but the people in your own tribe who are left behind will also be finished!
It is impossible to support these people through this cold winter just relying on the food left in the tribe!
It is very understandable that the leader of the Pine Tribe is in such an anxious mood.
Because among the entire team, he was not the only one who had such problems with his eyes, but everyone!
He really couldn't imagine the terrifying scene where he and others could no longer see anything before they arrived at the Qingque Tribe!
In this case, your tribe will really disappear completely and suffer a complete disaster!
“#￥e@#……”
With this thought in his mind, the leader of the Pine Tribe couldn't help shouting in a hoarse voice, urging the people in the team to leave quickly.
Although they were very tired, they still had to go as hard as they could to reach the Qingque Tribe!
At least get to the Qingque Tribe before your eyes can see anything.
In this case, even if you and others become blind when you get there, the people of the Qingque Tribe do not want to wait for others. Those who stay in the tribe can also join the Qingque Tribe and receive rescue from the Qingque Tribe.
Even if it was because of the snow, the people of the Qingque tribe passed a little late, and some of the people left in their tribe died, but after all, there are still some people who can survive and will not die!
Everyone present also knew the importance of the matter.
Arriving at the Qingque Tribe earlier was not only a way to save myself and others, but also to save those who stayed in the tribe.
One by one, they rushed towards the Qingque tribe with all their might.
There were even two people who had their toes frozen off on the way here, or whose legs and feet were injured by a fall, and who had difficulty moving. After following the speed of others and barely walking forward for a while, they themselves
It was proposed to let those who walk faster go first and get to the Qingque tribe as quickly as possible.
Those of them who were walking slowly followed behind and rushed to the Qingque tribe as fast as possible without dragging down everyone else.
The leader of the Pine Tribe knew that once he agreed to such a thing and left these two people behind, they would most likely die!
Because at this time there is not only the deadly cold and hunger, but also the ferocious beasts that are also hungry due to the heavy snow and are looking for food.
When there are many people, these guys don't dare to come up even if they encounter them, but when there are few people, they are completely different!
If these two people, who were walking forward independently of the large group, encountered these ferocious beasts, then... the result would be understandable without much thought.
“#￥w@@#!”
Song, with red eyes, agreed to the two people's request without much hesitation.
After giving them some food and fire, he beat their chests with his hands and then accelerated forward.
The situation was so urgent that the leader of the Song tribe did not have much time to hesitate, nor did he have much time to perform too many farewell ceremonies...
On the way, the leader of the Song Tribe and others couldn't help but look back frequently. The two people who tried hard to move forward were eventually thrown out of sight by them.
The sight turned into a vast expanse of white again, that kind of dazzling white...
…
Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and he stared hard at the behemoth that appeared in front of him, as well as the flag that was not flying much because of the cold. The leader of the Pine Tribe showed a difficult smile...
