In the Huangguo tribe's cave, the fire was burning continuously.
In such a season, nothing they say will extinguish the fire.
Around the fire, there was a circle of people.
These people's bodies were covered with only a few animal skins, and a lot of skin was exposed.
Although the weather was still extremely cold at this time, they were dressed as coolly as in summer.
If possible, they don't want to dress so cool.
In the past, there was no shortage of animal skins in the tribe. In winter, everyone wrapped themselves thickly in animal skins and still had some leftover.
But in recent years, their excess animal skins have been used to exchange for delicious salt and exquisite pottery.
Now that the leader led the relatively strong people in the tribe, they braved the severe cold and went out to find food for everyone in the tribe. It was right for them to take off their animal skins and give them to the leader and others to wear.
After all, without the animal skins, they could still stay in the tribe, huddle around the fire, huddle together and use the fire and each other's body heat to keep warm.
Some very hungry minors would run to the blocked entrance of the cave from time to time, constantly looking out through the gaps.
They are looking forward to the leaders who go out to look for food to come back early with plenty of food.
Their bellies were very hungry, and several of the minors had slender limbs, which made their bellies even taller and more bulging.
This kind of "grass belly" is of course not a good phenomenon, but is caused by long-term undereating and malnutrition.
Some minors were so hungry that they cried loudly.
But the food in the tribe is really pitiful. If they eat it with open stomachs, a quarter of the people in the tribe can eat all the food.
Moreover, since the leader was not in the tribe, none of these people dared to touch the small amount of food.
All they can do is to bring back some snow, boil it in a clay pot, and then give it to minors to drink. Although it does not prevent hunger, it can deceive the stomach to a certain extent and prevent people from feeling cold.
.
Huang Guo and the rest of the people who stayed in the tribe looked at the smoking pots and felt a little happy in their hearts.
Fortunately, there were clay pots exchanged from that kind tribe, otherwise, life would have been even more difficult today.
Looking at this clay pot, many people, like Huang Guo, thought of that mysterious, friendly and powerful tribe.
Thinking of the abundant food they carried with them, and the precious pottery and salt.
I remembered what they had expressed not long ago when they were here, that when they couldn't survive, they could go and live in their tribe.
Now, their tribe's life is really going to be unbearable.
Many people are thinking about how great it would be if they could live in that powerful tribe at this time.
I heard that there is a lot of food in their tribe. Under the leadership of the wise Son of God, no one living in their tribe will go hungry...
You don't have to go hungry, you can eat food three times a day... Thinking about this kind of thing makes people envious.
A group of hungry people recalled what the people of that tribe had conveyed, and the more they thought about it, the more eager they were to join that highly desirable tribe.
However, what makes people feel uncomfortable is that not long ago, their leader rejected it without even thinking about it.
Now the people of that tribe have already left and gone to other tribes.
Even if they wanted to join that tribe, they had no choice.
Because they didn't know where to go to reach the wealthy tribe.
Such things combined with the increasingly hungry stomach gradually gave rise to other thoughts.
For example, now, even Huang Guo, who has slept with the leader more than once, is complaining about the leader in his heart.
If the leader hadn't rejected that tribe's invitation, they would have been living in that tribe now.
Eating delicious food and wearing soft clothes made of animal skins...
And now, maybe someone in the tribe will die of cold and hunger this time, and then be eaten by everyone.
If the cold lasts longer, maybe more than one person will be eaten.
Huang Guo has experienced this kind of thing before.
Imagine if it was him who was eaten... Huang Guo couldn't help but shudder...
"$%6!"
The minor lying at the entrance of the cave shouted in surprise.
The people who endured hunger and wandered outside were immediately awakened, and then ran towards the entrance of the cave excitedly.
Huang Guo, who is closest to the cave entrance, arrives first.
She directly moved the stone slab blocking the entrance to one side, and the scene that appeared in front of her stunned her and everyone else who saw it.
Because the person approaching the cave is not the leader who took people out to find food, but the tribe they are missing.
When Huang Guo and others were in a daze, Shang Hemao and other members of the trading team were also in a daze, because these people were wearing too cool clothes.
Aren't they too cold?
Seeing Huang Guo and others with large areas of flesh exposed, Shang, Mao and others couldn't help but look at each other.
“￥%6…!”
The adults were in a daze, but these minors were not in a daze. They jumped and cheered, and they were more excited than when they saw the leader and others returning with the prey.
Because every time these people come, they will be given some delicious food.
Sweet and sour fruits and fruit juices, a small bowl of extremely delicious meat porridge...
Just thinking about these things makes these minors salivate.
It can be said that these minors are the ones in the entire tribe who are most eager for the Qingque Tribe's caravan to arrive.
They cheered and were no longer afraid of the cold wind outside. They quickly ran out of the cave and headed towards the Qingque Tribe's trading team.
After long-term contact, let them know that these people in front of them are very kind and will not harm them.
Shang and Mao, who were walking in front, each picked up a running minor and laughed, as if they were holding a child of their own tribe.
Huang Guo and the others looked at this scene with smiles on their faces...
In the cave of the Huangguo Tribe, the flames became even bigger. White gas was rising from the large vats carried by the Qingque Tribe's trading team, and the aroma of food spread throughout the cave.
The minors gathered around looked at the vat eagerly.
Even the adults, who were wearing very little, were swallowing hard.
After many trades, when the strong people of the Huangguo tribe, mostly men, went out, the Qingque tribe's trading team could easily break into the house.
The food in the pottery jar was finally ready. Shang took out a bowl, filled it with a full bowl of porridge, and handed it to Huang Guo first.
Huang Guo hesitated for a moment and waved his hands repeatedly while mumbling something.
Shang understood what she meant, which was that their leader had not returned yet and she did not dare to eat, so she asked Shang to give the food to the minors.
"This is the food we gave you. You can eat it without waiting for the leader. We will cook the food after the leader comes back. Eat, you are already very hungry..."
It was very fraternal Shang who looked at Huang Guo who was swallowing his saliva to express his meaning, and then pointed at the pottery jar to indicate that there was still a lot of food in it.
After understanding some of Shang's meaning, Huang Guo's eyes lit up.
Indeed, this is the food that this kind-hearted tribe gave to themselves and others. It is different from the original food of their own tribe...
She smiled gratefully at Shang, then took the food from Shang's hand, and ate it quickly without fear of burning her mouth.
Shang and Mao served them rice and looked at the people who were eating extremely greedily, with smiles on their faces.
The food in this porridge is half less than the porridge they usually eat, but for the people of the Huangguo tribe who have been eating clear soup with little water for a long time, these are still rare delicacies...
In the snow-covered area in the distance, the leader of the Huangguo tribe and his people continued to walk forward through the snow.
His whole body was almost frozen.
He wanted to go back very much, wanted to drink a bowl of hot soup, and then hug the women in the tribe to warm himself up, but looking at the pitiful harvest, he suppressed this idea forcefully.
