Chapter 842 The Blackstone Tribe Under the Shadow of Death
"Dad~"
Looking at the empty bamboo sieve, Xiao Wandou's mouth was deflated, feeling like she was about to cry
In the end, the three birds all flew away when they were caught by the bamboo sieve, but he didn't catch any of them.
"Don't be afraid, it's not scary to encounter difficulties, we can find a way to solve it, but we are afraid that we will not dare to solve it.
Do you think about why no bird was buckled this time? "
Han Cheng reached out and rubbed his son's head, and continued to explain and guide.
"Yes, it was too late."
Little Pea said.
"Then what are we going to do next time?"
"Pull it early."
"That's right, let's set up the sieve and continue to catch, sooner or later we will catch it."
Han Cheng affirmed his son's answer, and worked with the little guy to arrange the place, and grabbed some shriveled grains and sprinkled them under the bamboo sieve.
Then the two of them, a dog and a panda, went back to hide in the bamboo forest, waiting for the birds to come.
While waiting, Han Cheng suddenly remembered a joke told by the older generation in later generations.
A woman was busy making quilts at home, so she asked her daughter, who had never cooked before, to make noodles.
Then there was this conversation-
Daughter: "Mom, put more water."
Mother: "Add some noodles to it."
Daughter: "Mom, there are too many noodles."
Mother: "Put some more water in."
Daughter: "Mom, there is too much water again."
Mother: "Put some noodles in it..."
And so on and on.
Daughter: "Mom, the basin can't hold it."
The mother was furious instantly: "You son of a bitch! If I hadn't been able to get out with the quilt! I would have killed you today!" up)
The reason why Han Cheng thought of this joke was because he was worried that Little Pea would also be like the daughter who met with her, always overcorrecting.
While waiting, some birds approached here again, and then they went under the bamboo sieve to eat millet.
Han Cheng looked at the situation on the other side of the sieve, and then at Xiaowandou, without saying a word, just watching Xiaowandou's own operation quietly.
Little Pea looked at the bamboo sieve in the distance without blinking her eyes. After waiting for a while, she saw two more birds crawling under the bamboo sieve, so she yanked the rope in her hand.
The wooden stick fell at the sound, the buckle of the bamboo sieve fell down, and some birds flew away with fluttering wings.
Two people, one dog and one panda ran out from here again, and came to the front of the bamboo sieve.
This time I caught quite a few, as many as four.
Xiao Wandou yelled happily, and Han Cheng also smiled happily, happier than he himself had caught the bird.
This silly son of mine,
Without the solid eyes of the face-to-face girl, it is still very good to teach.
With the successful experience of catching four this time, Little Pea has become much more confident now.
The little face didn't know whether it was frozen, or it was too excited and flushed.
Needless to say, Han Chengduo, the little guy started his hands quickly this time, and together with Han Cheng, he set up the bamboo sieve again, and then ran to the bamboo forest excitedly.
After having a relatively successful experience just now, the little guy looked more seriously with the rope in his hand, and he was not as nervous as before, and seemed much more confident.
Han Cheng couldn't help smiling when he saw this, this was the result he wanted.
How many birds Little Pea catches is secondary, the important thing is that he wants Little Pea to learn something by catching birds.
Not just some bird-catching skills, but more importantly, some things that can have a positive impact on people's future behavior...
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
The people in the tribe beat the skin drum that had been roasted by the fire, and the thunderous sound went in all directions.
Dressed in rattan armor and rattan helmets soaked in tung oil over and over again, the soldiers of the Qingque tribe, with weapons in their hands, marched forward in a neat team on the snow.
This is the opening of the Qingque tribe's annual sports meeting held after sacrificing heroes.
It is also the most exciting scene and the most powerful scene for people to feel the tribe.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
When the bow and arrow team and the sling team showed their power, and the main team composed of the rattan shield team and the long-go team approached the standing straw figures, everyone shouted to kill step by step, and their voices even overwhelmed the rumbling drums.
Accompanied by the shouts of killing, these people unanimously stabbed the bronze spears in their hands, and stabbed fiercely at the straw man in front...
The military exercises held in the name of offering sacrifices to the heroes of the Qingque tribe, as well as the sports meeting including various sports, plus awarding and release of slave status to slaves who have made great contributions to the tribe within one year, and issued citizen ID cards in public It took two full days before it was completely over.
However, the effect is very good. It can not only cultivate the spirit of loving and defending the tribe, but also inspire the martial arts of the tribe, so that the tribe can maintain the martial spirit.
At the same time, it can also inject fresh blood into the citizens of the tribe, and let the slaves in the tribe see the light, and work hard to do things for the tribe in the days to come.
Two days doesn't seem like a long time, but for the Qingque tribe, it is of great significance, even comparable to the spring planting and autumn harvest that the tribe has always attached importance to and is the basis for the survival and development of the entire tribe.
Under the heavy snow cover, the cold seems to have sealed everything, but time has not been sealed at all, and is still passing slowly and quickly according to its inherent speed.
It seems that a long time has passed, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, Qingque's eleventh year has come.
All the happiness of everyone was released on this day.
Delicious and plentiful food was brought out without money, and was picked up by everyone with chopsticks and delivered to the mouth.
As soon as they were rendered by so many delicious foods, everyone became more cheerful.
As night fell, the bonfire was lit, and the people who had enough to eat and drink, under the light of the fire, beat drums and gongs, jumping and jumping around the fire.
Wealth and joy filled everyone's hearts and filled everyone's face...
In the north, in the cave of the Blackstone Tribe.
As night fell, the already cold weather seemed to become even colder.
Even with the fires burning, many people still feel cold.
Compared with the time when the heavy snow just fell this year, the Blackstone Tribe looked much duller.
At first, the relief when I knew that the heavy snow fell a lot earlier than in previous years has disappeared by now.
This is not only because the cold lasted for too long, but also because the food in the Blackstone tribe is not enough.
According to the consumption rate of food during the winter in previous years, the food stored by the Blackstone tribe this year is enough for them to survive this winter.
But there is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Almost all people, regardless of age, are prone to this trick.
Since the gradual development of the power of the Black Stone, and relying on the Black Stone weapon to obtain a large amount of food for the tribe, the people of the Black Stone tribe have become more and more extravagant in eating food.
Especially after breaking through the tribe where the bark was located, and obtaining two sharp tools for obtaining food, bows and arrows and fish cages, some tribes who surrendered to them also possessed and learned how to make and use these two tools, the Blackstone tribe food becomes richer and more abundant.
When eating food, each of them became more at ease, bold and unrestrained.
Such things continued to happen, and the food stored by the Blackstone tribe continued to decrease.
A few days ago, the leader of the Blackstone tribe suddenly discovered that more than half of the food stored in his tribe had disappeared!
Such a discovery surprised him.
From that day on, when the leader of the Blackstone tribe brought out food, he took less.
It is said that they took less, but compared with the past when they did not get the Blackstone weapon for the winter, they were much more.
As a result, the people of the Blackstone tribe, who hadn't tasted the taste of starvation for a long time, once again tasted this taste that seemed to have been away from them for a long time.
This taste is not pleasant at all.
It is precisely because of this that the mood of the entire Blackstone tribe is not high.
The bark clung to the fur of the body, huddled with the people around it, lying on the dry grass.
The swaying cave, illuminated by the jumping fire, seemed very quiet, so quiet that grunts could be heard from time to time.
This is the sound of the stomachs of the people of the Heishi tribe sleeping here.
The bark itself makes such noises from time to time.
This kind of hunger is still within the tolerance of the bark, and the most unbearable thing for him is the cold that can almost freeze the whole person.
Wrapped in animal skins, the bark is still shivering when squeezed together with other people. In such a situation, I think of the kang of the Qingque tribe again, and imagine how comfortable it would be to sleep on such a thing.
Even, Bark wanted to do it again, trying to build a kang again in the tribe.
But such thoughts can only be thoughts, because whenever this thought arises, he will involuntarily hear the beating he received last year, making him afraid to try again.
In addition, there is another reason that if he really succeeded in making the kang, then the leader of the Blackstone tribe must be the first to benefit.
As long as he thinks about this matter, he feels uncomfortable. On the contrary, it is better to let the leader of the Blackstone tribe suffer from the cold with him.
"#¥5WE!"
While thinking about these things with the trembling body of the tree bark, someone suddenly sat up and said this in his mouth.
This means that he is hungry and wants to eat.
After such words were uttered, several people responded in an instant.
When these people responded, people who seemed to have fallen asleep sat up from the ground one after another, saying that they were hungry, and looked at their leader full of longing.
"#¥¥x-on:E..."
The leader of the Blackstone Tribe originally wanted to hit people with his hands, but after seeing so many people doing this, he put down his raised hand again.
He opened his mouth and said something to the crowd.
It means that he is also hungry, but the food stored in the tribe is not enough. If they eat as before, the food in their tribe will become less until the ice and snow melt, and I am afraid that many people will die.
After the leader of the Blackstone tribe said this, the emotions of the people in the Blackstone tribe were not as high as before.
"¥%DRR!"
At this moment, someone spoke again.
What he meant was that the food in the tribe was not enough, so they could go and rob the rest of the tribe, and some people would rob them of their food and eat it.
After understanding what he meant, everyone in the Blackstone tribe, who seemed a little depressed, suddenly became excited.
Yes, they can still rob the rest of the tribes. They did this two years ago. Why have they forgotten this matter now?
Immediately, everyone spoke one after another, expressing their support for this wonderful idea.
Bark didn't speak, but shrank his head.
This is not because he is not hungry, but because he is more afraid of the cold outside than the current hunger.
After all, he was wrapped in fur and was brought into the cave with everyone, and it was still so cold around the fire. If he went out, what would it be like? Just thinking about it, he felt chills all over his body.
"*EDR..."
The leader of the Blackstone Tribe also thought of the cold, and immediately told everyone about it. What he meant was that it was best not to do this.
But at this moment, everyone in the Blackstone Tribe was eager for food.
Because they were very hungry for food, they didn't care about the cold that the leader of the Blackstone tribe said.
One by one is still talking about wanting to eat food, saying that they are waiting for others to be hungry, and if they do this, they may be very hungry and thin. If the people of any tribe, under such circumstances, do not obey their tribe, they are likely to fight But so on.
After talking like this for a while, the leader of the Blackstone tribe finally made up his mind to attack a tribe.
After such a decision was made, the people in the tribe cheered happily, happy that they would be full and no longer hungry.
Seeing that everyone in the tribe was so happy, the leader of the Blackstone tribe was also quite happy.
Although he was worried about going to attack other tribes at this time, he had done this kind of thing in winter before, and there was nothing wrong with it except that he would suffer from the cold when he went out.
So after thinking about it for a while, I stopped thinking about it.
Instead, a lot of food was produced from the place where the food was stored and distributed to everyone, which made everyone more happy.
After eating this supper-like meal, everyone felt much more comfortable and their bodies were warmed up. When they went to sleep at night, they also slept more peacefully and sweetly.
Early the next morning, the people of the Blackstone tribe had already woken up, some of them began to pack their things, while others were roasting the food brought out by the leader of the Blackstone tribe.
This time, the food brought out by the leader of the Black Stone Tribe was more abundant, and everyone got enough food.
Especially those who wanted to go out with him to attack other tribes, they were even more overwhelmed.
After eating the food, the leader of the Blackstone tribe even took out some furs for those who were going to go out to wrap them around their bodies.
Some of these furs were originally stored, and the other part was picked off from those who didn't have to go out this time.
After everything was ready, the leader of the Blackstone tribe walked out of the cave first, followed by the rest of the people covered in thick fur.
As soon as they came outside, everyone couldn't help shivering.
When I was in the cave, I felt that it was cold enough inside, but after I walked out of the cave, I realized that it was colder outside than inside.
"E#$%!"
The leader of the Black Stone Tribe spoke loudly to everyone in the tribe, telling those who stayed in the cave to guard the cave and wait for them to come back, and then stepped on the thick snow, carrying weapons and food, and took a deep step. Walked towards the distance with a shallow foot.
Those who go with them follow closely.
As they breathed, a large amount of white air appeared, and gradually some ice flowers condensed on their beards, eyebrows, and hair in front.
The remaining bark, looking at the snow all over the place, and the white air spouted by the leader of the Blackstone Tribe and others, couldn't help shivering again, feeling cold all over.
After watching the leaders of the Blackstone tribe leave, Bark and the remaining Blackstone tribe returned to the cave.
Last night, when I was selecting the people who would go out today, I also said that I should let the bark go together.
If you go there, you can eat more in the future after you defeat the other tribes and bring back food.
But the bark still didn't go.
On the one hand, it was because it was too cold outside. Compared with enduring the cold, he would rather eat less and be a little hungry.
On the other hand, if you don't go, you won't have to stay with the leader of the Blackstone tribe during this period of time.
This will make him feel relaxed...
The cold wind was blowing, piercing directly into the person's clothes.
Obviously it has been covered very tightly, but these pervasive cold winds can always find some gaps to sneak in, blowing people's bodies cool.
This is not the most uncomfortable thing, the most uncomfortable thing is that the exposed face and hands are blown by the wind like a knife, which is extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, the leader of the Heishi tribe, who was walking hard on the ice and snow, suddenly regretted coming out for such a trip.
Not only him, some people who came out with him also regretted it at this time.
Because this is really too much to suffer!
It tastes nothing like starving in a tribe.
This feeling intensifies as night falls.
Even though they found a low-lying leeward place, lit a fire, and sent a lot of food to their stomachs, they still couldn't withstand the cold invasion.
Someone squatted by the fire, stretched out his hand to roast, only felt pain and itching in his hands, very uncomfortable.
That night, many people did not fall asleep much.
The next morning, the leader of the Blackstone tribe continued to set off with these people.
Compared with when they left the cave yesterday, these people looked very depressed now, and their enthusiasm was almost wiped out by the cold and thick snow...
Things like drawing big cakes are probably the innate ability of every leader, just like now.
"#¥5EC!"
The leader of the Blackstone tribe, who was also suffering, raised his voice to encourage everyone in the tribe, telling them that after arriving in that tribe, they would be able to sleep well and eat extremely rich food.
After such words were spoken, the people who seemed depressed and sluggish suddenly regained some energy, and even walked vigorously...
When night came again, everyone, including the leader of the Blackstone tribe, felt extremely uncomfortable. This discomfort was mixed with some fear.
Because judging from the previous itinerary, they should have arrived at the tribe that was closer to their tribe at this time.
But now, they didn't even see a trace of that tribe.
This is not because the distance between that tribe and their tribe has become farther, but because of the thick snow, which makes their speed slower.
In the past, the distance that could be covered in two days can no longer be covered in two days.
They were already tortured by the cold, and now they suffered from such a thing, cold and frightened, their morale was very low.
Blessings never come, but misfortunes never come singly.
The leaders of the Blackstone tribe felt that their situation was already very miserable at this time, but in the middle of the night, something even more miserable happened.
The cold wind that had stopped was blowing again, and the temperature seemed to be lower than before, and everyone was shivering from the cold.
After waking up the next morning, two people did not know when they had frozen to death.
This kind of thing made the people of the Blackstone tribe feel terrible, and some people had the idea of not going forward and returning to the tribe.
But the leader of the Blackstone tribe did not agree.
Because they came out this time, they brought a lot of food from the tribe.
And because they knew that they would definitely bring back a lot of food for the tribe when they went out this time, the people who stayed in the tribe must not be as frugal in eating food as before.
Their food was not enough at all, and after a few days of such consumption, it became even more insufficient.
If they return at this time, the situation of their tribe will become extremely bad, and it is very likely that more people will die due to hunger and cold.
So he personally took off the fur that was wrapped around the two frozen to death, and wrapped the rest of them around their bodies.
And use one of them as their breakfast.
After eating, let the rest of the people, dragging another person, go to the tribe in memory together.
While stepping on and continuing to walk, another person fell to the ground and never got up again.
Then she was dragged by her companions to slide on the snow...
"#¥ER!"
In the process of walking, the leader of the Black Stone tribe kept encouraging the people in the tribe, saying that he was about to reach that tribe.
As a result, when it got dark again, they still didn't see the tribe.
The shadow of fear and death firmly enveloped the people of Blackstone...
