During the season when the rapeseed flowers were in bloom, the senior brother led the people from the tribe towards the Bone Tribe.
The road was easier to walk than when he went to the Boneless Tribe to attend the joy party.
This was created by people from the Bone Tribe who have been running to the Qingque Tribe for more than a year, using the soles of their feet and the bone knives in their hands.
Even though it's just a barely accessible path, it's still more convenient than opening a new path.
As dusk fell, the senior brother led everyone to find an open place, lit a fire with dry firewood collected along the way, and made some hot food to eat.
The location near the Qingque Tribe, according to Han Cheng's calculations, should be in the north of mid-latitude and belongs to the temperate zone.
Although there are many primitive and vast forests in such areas, they are not everywhere. It is not too difficult to find some places where only grass or some low shrubs grow.
After all, this is not a tropical area, and vegetation grows like crazy all year round.
Fortunately, this is a temperate zone with extremely distinct four seasons throughout the year. Otherwise, the number of tribes living on this land would have been reduced by at least half.
Although severe winter will bring disaster to the population living here, it will also curb the growth and reproduction of various bacteria and germs.
In comparison, severe winter is much cuter than various diseases that make people look ugly. After all, as long as you have enough food, you can survive the winter, but epidemics are very different...
The bonfire flickered, dispelling the darkness and letting the light shine far away.
Most of the people had gone to sleep, leaving five people to keep vigil and keep the fire burning.
A wild beast smelled the scent of its prey in the distance, and saw the fire in the distance. After hesitating for a while, it left.
After a night of silence, everyone left here after dinner early the next morning and continued towards the Bone Tribe...
Sunshine is a very selfless thing, with a broad mind, and does not dislike the poor and loves the rich.
The Qingque tribe with its tall courtyard wall was shrouded in it, and the Bone tribe living in the cave was also bathed in the sunshine of the new day.
The leader of the Bone Tribe finished eating, put down the bowl, and shook his head a few times.
This was the sequelae of being driven away by the second senior brother with a slingshot from under the Qingque tribe.
The wound on his forehead had stopped bleeding, and there was a thick layer of scab there, with some redness and swelling around it.
He shook his head and felt a little uncomfortable looking at the cave with many people missing.
Among those who came back, one died yesterday.
When he died, he could no longer see, half of his body was rotten, and maggots were crawling on it...
He regretted his crazy attack on that tribe. This regret was strongest in the first two or three days.
As time goes by, the emotion of regret gradually becomes less intense, and another emotion arises again, becoming more and more intense.
This emotion is hate.
He hated the people from the wealthy tribe for being too ruthless, and hated the people from that tribe for bringing their tribe to this situation.
Although I had the idea of robbing you, I didn't realize it. How could you be so cruel...
Though he thought so, he didn't dare to do anything to that tribe again.
At the beginning, in addition to regret, there was another strong emotion filling him, and there were more bones in the chest of the tribe.
That feeling is fear.
They were worried that the wealthy and terrifying tribe would pursue them and attack them. For this reason, after returning with heavy losses, the leader of the Bone Tribe thought of relocating more than once.
It was only in the past few days that this idea was gradually suppressed.
Relocation is not easy for the tribe.
First of all, there must be a suitable place to live, and secondly, there must be a suitable place for hunting near the place of residence.
Not to mention other things, just these two items make people have to consider carefully.
What's more, their tribe has suffered too many adult losses. If they migrate, it will be extremely difficult to take root in a new place and live the life they live today, and more people may die.
Due to all these hesitations, the leader of the Bone Tribe did not proceed with the migration.
In the first few days, like everyone else in the tribe, they lived on tenterhooks, leaving a large number of people guarding the cave every day for fear that the Qingque tribe would come and attack them.
Several days passed, but no one from the Qingque Tribe came. The worries of the Bone Tribe people about this matter finally subsided.
By now, the leader of the Bone Tribe is convinced that the Qingque Tribe will not attack them again.
During this period of time, he has figured out a lot of things.
The biggest reason why the people of my tribe suffered such heavy losses was not the weapons that the tribe used that they had never seen before, but the high and disgusting walls.
Without the wall, the tribe is not that powerful.
Otherwise, why wouldn't they attack their own tribe?
“#2DFRT$”
He was thinking about these things, and when he saw that everyone in the tribe had already eaten, he called on everyone to follow him out for hunting.
All the able-bodied ones went, and together with him there were twenty-one people.
The remaining ones were injured, old and frail, and had ridiculously big bellies...all of them added up to a total of sixteen people.
These are adults.
There are fourteen minors who are able to work. The task assigned to these people is to dig and pick some edible wild vegetables and roots near the tribe.
Use sticks to stick some fish in the river.
After arranging these things, the leader of the Bone Tribe set off with the hunters.
The remaining people were scattered around the tribe to do things according to the instructions of the leader of the Bone Tribe. There were only three overly old and weak old people left in the cave to take care of the flames, as well as some babies crawling around...
Time passed little by little, and after the sun reached due south, it continued to move westward.
During this long period of time, some of the people who had been digging for wild vegetables around the tribe had returned to their caves.
There were a few fish on the grass on the shore next to the fish spearmen, the fruits of their work all morning.
Looking at these poor fishes, some of them had been to the Qingque Tribe, and the image of piles of fish could not help but appear in their minds.
I really don't know how they caught so many fish.
It would be great if there were so many fish in my own tribe.
How great it would be if I could live in that tribe...
She thought like this and couldn't help but shook her head. This was impossible. Let's not say that her tribe had already turned against them. Even if not, the leader would not take them there...
She rested for a while, put the thought out of her mind, held a harpoon made of a stick, stared into the river, and then went to see the swimming fish.
She was focused on the swimming fish wholeheartedly, but she didn't know that a group of people had quietly approached their tribe...
