The eldest brother led eight men and twelve women in the tribe to walk in the snow, and the cold air made them all shrink down.
The second senior brother, who is pot-bellied and likes to drool, has a small iceberg hanging on his chin beard.
The group of people trudged hard in the snow, the cold, hunger, and long distance walking had already exhausted all their strength and heat.
The atmosphere in the team was very low.
All the strong labor force in the tribe was mobilized and worked hard for a whole day in the ice and snow, and all they got were two skinny pheasants...
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their emotions could rise.
The leading senior brother looked very dull and worried. He was the leader of this tribe and needed to worry and be responsible for a series of things.
Without food, he was under great pressure.
It seems that the only option is to continue to reduce the food supply. In addition to the few people whose food was reduced at the beginning, the children in the tribe and the women who are a little weak and are not capable of long-term activities in the snow need to reduce the food distribution.
Let the small amount of food be eaten by the strong. Only in this way can enough strength be preserved to find food for the tribe and allow the tribe to continue.
Senior Brother does not want to implement such a method. If possible, he would like everyone in the tribe to have enough to eat, but the reality is...
The familiar cave is right in front of you. There are warm fires, warm hay and furs in the cave, as well as your own tribe.
But the eldest brother seemed a little hesitant to move forward. He didn't want to bring the sad news of no prey back to the tribe...
The blocked cave door suddenly opened, and a group of children and the remaining women came out.
They cheered and ran towards the senior brother and others who had returned from hunting.
When the senior brother saw this scene, his mood became even more depressed.
From the current scene, he could guess that the tribesmen left in the cave must have been hiding at the entrance of the cave, looking eagerly through the gaps left, hoping that he and others would return from hunting and bring back enough
Food so that people in the tribe no longer starve.
only……
But I only brought back two skinny pheasants...
He looked at the crowd of people cheering and rushing towards them, and for a moment, the senior brother actually had the idea of running away.
"leader!"
"leader!"
The children in the tribe ran up to them, greeted their senior brother, and then ran towards their parents in the team.
The eldest brother was a little strange, because the children who came and the women who stayed in the cave were not as disappointed as he had imagined when they saw that the team did not bring back any prey.
When he saw Wu standing at the entrance of the cave looking here, the elder brother felt warm in his heart. Needless to say, Wu must have been worried that he and others would feel uncomfortable, so he had explained it in advance.
With this thought in mind, he ignored the woman who was hesitant to speak, walked quickly to the entrance of the cave, bent down towards the witch who smiled at him peacefully, and called out respectfully: "Witch."
The voice seemed a little low, full of guilt, shame and warmth.
Wu smiled and reached out to touch his head, patted his shoulder and said, "Go back, stay warm."
The corners of the elder brother's eyes were a little moist, and he nodded vigorously, lowered his head slightly, and entered the cave.
The witch stood at the entrance of the cave, touched the head of each person who came back one by one, and said, "Go back and stay warm."
This was an encouragement for them to brave the cold and go out to hunt for their tribes.
Han Cheng stood aside and watched, secretly nodding for Wu's wisdom. After what he did, the atmosphere of the entire hunting team was greatly improved, and everyone became more united.
"fish?!"
"So many fish?!"
Hearing the unbelievable exclamation of the senior brother from the cave, everyone who knew the inside story, including the witch and many children, laughed happily.
Among them, the one who laughed the happiest was the lame man, who laughed until he burst into tears.
Hearing the eldest brother's exclamation and seeing the expressions of the people who stayed in the cave, the rest of the people who had not entered the cave couldn't help but become curious about what happened in the tribe on the day when he and others went out to hunt.
What? How come there are fish?
Looking at the hundreds of fish piled up inside the cave, everyone who had returned from hunting outside fell into a daze.
They couldn't understand why there were so many fish suddenly coming out of the tribe when there were no fish now.
Of course, not everyone was extremely shocked. For example, the second senior brother, after the first moment of shock, this guy's saliva immediately flowed out...
"Wu, this...this..."
The senior brother didn't know what to say for a while and asked Wu about something.
Wu's face was filled with a smile. He pointed at Han Cheng who was standing on the side, and then pointed at the limp who seemed a little reserved at the moment, and began to tell...
The fire in the cave was lit, and the aroma of grilled fish spread in the cave. The depressing atmosphere caused by the food crisis was swept away, and the cheerful atmosphere infected everyone.
Senior brother had a big fish tonight and brought out a total of forty fish this time.
We want to feed everyone in the cave who have not had a good meal for a long time.
Forty fish were roasted and placed in a high pile on the stone slab where food was usually placed.
The eldest brother first selected a roasted and delicate fish of suitable size and held it in both hands to the witch who returned to the deepest part of the cave.
Then he came back, but instead of taking some food and taking his family away like before, he carefully selected a fish about one foot long and walked towards Han Cheng holding it in both hands.
He bent down to Han Cheng and said, "Fish, eat."
Han Cheng waved his hand to the senior brother, indicating that he didn't have to do this, but the senior brother refused, so Han Cheng had no choice but to take the grilled fish from his hand with a smile.
The elder brother returned to the food pile again, and this time he picked out the largest fish, which was more than two feet tall and weighed nearly ten kilograms.
Just when everyone thought that the eldest brother was going to take away the biggest fish and eat it, something unexpected happened to them.
The senior brother held the fish in his hands, walked to the lame on the outermost edge, bent down to the lame and said: "Fish, eat."
Lame was confused by the elder brother's move. He waved his hands nervously and shook his head repeatedly.
But the senior brother put the fish directly into his arms and said: "Eat."
Then he smiled and touched the lame head, and then went back to get food for himself.
Standing there limply holding the biggest fish, I was in a daze for a moment. After a while, I suddenly burst into tears...
