Huang Guo's body couldn't help but tremble. After drinking three bowls of hot water, the chill in her body was driven away.
The pottery shipped by that kind tribe was indeed good stuff.
Huang Guo held the hot bowl in both hands and couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking back to the wind and snow outside, as well as what he had experienced not long ago, and then touching his palms, cheeks and ears that were now feverish, Huang Guo couldn't help but feel palpitations.
For a while, she thought that she and others would not be able to come back this time... Fortunately, the people in her tribe were relatively lucky, and they finally made it back to the tribe before they froze to death.
Like her, there were many people with a similar happy mood, even their leader.
However, the Huangguo tribe leader's rejoicing did not last long. When his eyes fell on the small number of prey in the cave, the rejoicing in his heart was immediately replaced by deep worry.
Yesterday's harvest was quite large, but last night and this morning everyone ate with open stomachs. In just two meals, they ate more than half of yesterday's harvest.
But today, the gathering of prey had not been carried out for a long time when it was interrupted by the wind, snow and cold, and the harvest was not much.
If I had known this would be the case, I would not have brought out so much food for everyone to eat yesterday and this morning.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe was thinking with regret at this time.
I walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out through the gap. The wind and snow outside showed no signs of slowing down.
Simply drinking hot water did not stop the hunger. After drinking a lot of hot water, everyone started to feel hungry after a while.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe did not immediately take out the food and let them cook it. Instead, he waited for a while to make everyone hungry again, and then he took out a small amount of food and had the hair plucked out.
After that, I chopped it roughly with a stone knife, and then started to throw it into a large vat for cooking.
The food put into the big tank was less than a quarter of what it was in the morning.
After eating the food, which mostly consisted of hot soup, the leader of the Huangguo tribe sent everyone to rest and not to move around unless necessary.
It's not because he dislikes the noise, but his previous experience tells him that doing this can reduce food consumption to the greatest extent.
And he was lying at the entrance of the cave, looking at the increasingly darker sky outside and the wind and snow that had not diminished at all, and he was filled with melancholy.
After watching this for a while, he returned to the innermost part of the cave, lay down in his place, and began to sleep.
When I was about to fall asleep, I was looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning, the wind and snow would stop, and the weather would become as clear as yesterday...
The next day, the sky gradually turned brighter and the snow became lighter, but it was still falling.
Several tents pitched in sheltered areas were covered with a thick layer of snow, turning into bloated snow bags.
The shelter that was tied to several trees to protect the deer from the wind and snow was falling down under the weight of the thick snow.
"The snow is so heavy..."
Shang walked out of the tent, found a firewood stick, put it under the shed, and pushed it up to push down the thick snow covering it.
To prevent too much accumulation, the four corners of the shed will be damaged.
Then he found the fodder he had brought with him and started feeding the deer.
Someone in the tent kept adding firewood to the fire, making the flames burn brighter, and began to cook food.
The food was cooked very thick, and some of the prey they picked up along the way yesterday were also put in it.
It's such a cold day, it's impossible not to eat something full.
After the people in the trade team had eaten, the snow became much lighter again, sporadic and it looked like it would stop at any time.
It's just that the weather is extremely cold.
After dinner, Shang and Mao discussed for a while, and then everyone started to pack their things, stepping on the snow that suddenly thickened a lot, and slowly headed towards the direction of the tribe...
“#￥%……”
In the cave of the Huangguo tribe, the leader of the Huangguo tribe, who had been lying at the entrance of the cave and looking out for a long time, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the heavy snow finally stopped.
The snow finally stopped!
He couldn't wait to move the stone slab blocking the entrance of the cave and got out of the cave.
The leader of the Huangguo tribe who got out of the cave suddenly became unhappy.
Because there is a thick layer of snow on the ground outside, which is much thicker than before it melted.
If this trend continues, it will take a long time for this kind of snow to melt.
After standing in the cold wind and watching for a while, the dejected leader of the Huangguo tribe turned back to the tribe and blocked the cave entrance again.
As long as the weather warms up quickly, the snow will melt easily, just like the day before yesterday...
After a period of depression, the leader of the Huangguo tribe saw hope again, although this hope was relatively slim.
In the afternoon, the gloomy sky gradually began to brighten, and when it was almost dark, the sun that had never shown its face actually came out.
Although there was no warmth, it made the leader of the Huangguo tribe and everyone happy.
The sun is out, which means the weather will get warmer soon!
Because he saw hope, and what he ate last night and this morning was not very good, everyone was very hungry, so the leader of the Huangguo tribe took out a little more food this time than the last two times.
Celebrated.
Han Cheng, who was wrapped in a thick tiger skin cloak and watched people remove the snow from the deer shed, didn't think so.
When a cold front passes through and the heavy snow stops, it means that the place where the warm and cold air currents meet has passed, and what is passing through the ground now is a strong cold air mass.
If nothing unexpected happens, in the next few days, the tribe and the surrounding land will be covered by a cold air mass, and the temperature will only be lower than before, and there is absolutely no possibility of it rising.
So after dinner, he informed the people in the tribe that when they went to bed at night, they should heat the kang more hotly and cover themselves with clothes.
He also found another piece of tiger skin that was made into a mattress and asked the witch to spread it on the kang to keep it warm when he slept at night...
Inside the Huangguo tribe's cave, even though there was a fire burning, the cold was still pressing.
At night, many people were woken up by the cold, and the leader of the Huangguo tribe asked people to burn the fire more brightly, which made things better.
Just survive tonight and it will be fine. When the sun comes out tomorrow, it will be warmer...
The leader of the Huangguo tribe and many people in the Huangguo tribe comforted themselves in this way.
The next day, the slow sun finally appeared, a small white patch hanging in the sky.
The people of the Huangguo tribe couldn't help cheering, feeling that warm weather would come soon.
The people in the Huangguo tribe who had been cheering for a while couldn't cheer anymore, because after the sun came out, the temperature did not rise much, and the ice and snow showed no sign of melting.
Looking at the small piece of yellowish ice on the ground, the leader of the Huangguo tribe fell into uncomfortable contemplation.
It was a steaming stream of urine that he peed, but it was frozen soon after. In the past, such things were rare...
When the yellow sun was still far away from the west, it disappeared. The dusk gradually fell, and it came to the dusk that the Huangguo tribe least wanted to live.
Now, there are two times that the leader of Huangguo tribe hates to spend the most, one is dusk and the other is early morning.
Because every time this time comes, the small amount of food left in the tribe will be reduced...
