Where there is fire, there will be people, because no other animal can light a fire except people.
Of course, except for will-o'-the-wisps and other things.
But who would light a fire outside at a time like this?
Mao stared at the fire not too far away, thinking in his mind.
There were no tribes in that place, and I was very sure of this.
"Let's go somewhere."
After eating some dried meat, stuffing some snow into his mouth, and taking a short rest, Mao made this decision.
He has no plans to set up a tent here and light a fire to cook some hot food.
Because if you light a fire here, it will definitely be seen by people there.
If the people over there were as evil as the Soaring Snake tribe people, then things wouldn't be wonderful.
After all, there are only five of them in total now, and they are still tired and hungry.
This area of the terrain is relatively open. If you go around here to rest elsewhere, you will need to delay a lot of travel. This is obviously not what Mao wants to see.
After thinking about it, he made a plan to lead people quietly to the fire to see the situation.
After several years of experience, especially after being followed and attacked by people from the Soaring Snake Tribe, Mao has now become much more cautious.
Several people quietly approached the fire, and the closer they got, the more careful their movements became.
Four people were gathered around the fire, warming themselves by the fire. Their faces couldn't be seen clearly as the fire flickered, but they felt a little familiar.
Mao's heart skipped a beat as a possibility appeared in his mind.
But this thought was quickly suppressed by him. After all, Shenzi and the others didn't know that they and others were encountering difficulties. How could someone from his own tribe come at this time?
That's what I thought, but Mao's desire to get closer and see more clearly became more urgent.
Because he had a vague expectation in his heart.
"Click~"
The dead branches covered under the snow were trampled by one of them, making a not too loud sound. At least the people gathered around to warm up could not hear it.
"Woo~"
Just as Mao's rejoicing ended, a fierce and strange wolf howl suddenly sounded over there.
At the same time, there were several black shadows rushing towards here.
Hearing this voice and feeling the oppressive momentum, Mao and the others were not frightened at all, but excitedly rushed towards the barking black shadow.
They are from the tribe!
They are from the tribe!
He and the other four people were in an extremely emotional state. The severe cold and wind and snow did not make them succumb, but at this time they wanted to cry.
The sudden reaction of the dogs made Junior Brother Sha and the other people who were watching the night suddenly become alert.
They stood up quickly, and the three of them ran towards the direction of Gouzi with their bronze swords. Junior Brother Sha, who was lagging behind, had already taken the bow in his hand and attached an arrow. After pulling out the bowstring, he aimed at Gouzi.
past direction.
Be prepared to let go immediately if there is danger.
However, the next scene made Junior Brother Sha stunned for a moment, because the dog that pounced on with an extremely ferocious posture, after approaching those who appeared not too far away from the camp, the bark suddenly changed and became
The kind where you meet an acquaintance.
"It's us! It's us!"
Then there were excited voices over there.
"trade?"
When Junior Brother Sha heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment and shouted in disbelief...
The quiet camp suddenly became agitated, and everyone gathered around Mao and others who suddenly appeared, asking for news.
"You didn't come back. The Son of God thought you were in danger, so he asked us to take you back..."
"If you don't come back, we will almost die of anxiety... Originally, the Son of God also wanted to come..."
"We have all drank Qingque wine and are members of the same tribe. The Son of God said that people in a tribe should help each other. When the tribe is in danger, other people should lend a hand..."
After asking about the affairs of Mao, the people who followed the senior brother and the others began to talk to Mao and the others one after another.
On one side, someone was cooking for them in a jar with a lot of dried meat and other things in it.
"Drink some of this to keep warm..."
The senior brother put a small wine can into Mao's hand and asked them to take turns drinking a little.
Because it takes some time for the food to be ready.
The Mao people who had been holding back their tears finally shed tears.
It feels so good to be cared about, and it feels so good to meet people in the tribe.
All the panic and anxiety before, as well as some fear of death, disappeared.
At this time, they only had an incomparable sense of peace of mind.
Because they know that they are no longer alone at this time.
Their dangers, their burdens, these men will bear with them.
Don't abandon anyone!
It turns out this is the tribe!
This feeling was something they had never experienced before in their original tribe...
After eating the food, Mao and others rested for a while, but their buttocks were still hot, so they told everyone that they wanted to go back overnight to look for Shang and them.
After thinking for a while, the senior brother did not agree.
Firstly, it was because the night was cold and the light was dim, which was not conducive to walking. Secondly, during the day, everyone had worked hard on the road for a whole day and had just rested. If they continued on the road at this time, they would be too tired.
The third thing is that he learned from Mao that the food left by Shang and others can be eaten until tomorrow night.
Calculating according to the distance, if the two parties advance toward each other tomorrow, they will meet around noon, so there is no need to be too anxious.
"You guys go to bed first, we are here."
After the senior brother gave the reason, he patted several people on the shoulders vigorously, pointed to a snow house on one side, and asked them to go in and sleep.
Lying in the snow house, Mao and four other members of the trading team soon fell asleep.
This was the most solid and peaceful sleep they had ever had since they left the tribe and started trading.
Because there are many people from the same tribe around them, they will guard themselves and others against danger...
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the senior brother and others walked along the footsteps they had set yesterday.
As long as you follow the footsteps, you will definitely encounter Shang and them.
Mao and the others sat on the sledge, being dragged forward by the deer. Looking at the people trekking forward through the snow, Mao felt warm in his heart.
They will be surprised when they see Shang!
In the early morning, Shang and others on the other side also started to set off.
Unlike the senior brother and others who are full of energy, the people in this team are much weaker.
Some people were lying in the snow house and didn't want to come out because they were yelled out by Shang.
