Wild animals have already started migrating...

In the evening, after seeing Ah Lan off, Lu Zhan hugged Nian Tu from behind and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave here too, Nian Nian."

Nian Tu nodded silently.

Since the chief did not agree with the migration of the entire tribe, they could only leave quietly.

She counted the food and thought about how to take it with her.

The journey was long and she didn’t know how long it would take or whether she could find food on the way, so she had to be adequately prepared.

In addition to food, you also need to bring animal skins, clothes, and medicines...

While he was thinking, the voice of the tribe leader came from outside the cave, calling out in the wind, "Ah Zhan! Nian Tu! Can I come in?"

After getting permission, he lifted the animal skin and once he stepped into the cave, he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really warm here."

It seems that a smaller cave has its advantages. Not only does it save firewood fuel, but it can also gather more heat.

"mum!"

Xiaoli agreed.

She broke away from her father's arms and quickly jumped to Nian Tu's side.

Nian Tu looked at the tabby cat and felt that she seemed to be much thinner than before, and her fur was not as smooth and soft as before. It was obvious that she had not been doing well recently.

The last time the tribe was attacked by wild beasts, Xiaoli was also injured. Although it was not serious, he suffered a lot.

Nian Tu bent over, picked up Xiaoli and checked her injuries.

Fortunately, they have all healed. The orcs' recovery ability is as strong as ever.

She put the tabby cat down, found the small ceramic bowl she had given her as a gift, and filled it with broth.

The soup had been simmering on the fire, steaming warmly, with a rich aroma that filled Xiaoli's nose. It was a smell that Xiaoli had never smelled before.

She swallowed visibly and turned her head away reluctantly, "...I don't want to eat it."

"I've already served it to you, eat a little," Nian Tu saw through her hypocrisy, raised his hand and rubbed the kitten's head, a smile appearing in his eyes.

“No, I won’t eat it!!” Xiaoli persisted.

The tribe leader also chimed in, "We have already eaten today, you can keep some for yourselves."

Things are different now. In the hot season, it was okay to send food to each other, but now it is different. Every household has insufficient food. Even if Nian Tu is generous and offers them food, they can't really accept it with a thick face.

"I came here today to discuss migration with you," the patriarch coughed lightly and brought the topic back on track.

Hearing this, Nian Tu and Lu Zhan looked at him at the same time.

The patriarch looked serious.

That day, A Zhan came to him and proposed that the entire tribe migrate together. At that time, the tribe still had a source of food, and the traps could occasionally yield harvests. Although life was a little tight, it was considered stable. Although this year's winter season was indeed unusual, he did not think that things had reached the point where they needed to leave their homeland, so he refused.

But after just a few days, the situation changed.

The tribe leader shook his head and sighed, "Since it started snowing a few days ago, several traps have been damaged by the snow. I asked people to repair them, but even though they have been repaired, they can no longer catch any prey..."

"Today, I asked A-Mo to go out for a walk. He didn't come back until the evening. He was covered in snow and almost frozen to death. He didn't catch any prey. He only brought back a dead fox that was frozen stiff."

"He said that it's quiet outside and there's no prey to be found," the chief said with a worried look on his face.

In his entire life, he had never heard of anything so strange.

"It looks like we have to migrate as soon as possible... the sooner the better."

Even though he is conservative by nature and doesn't like taking risks, he has no choice but to grit his teeth and make this decision.

Migration is dangerous, but staying here will definitely lead to death.

"Before we leave, we have to make a plan first, what to bring, which direction to go..." The patriarch was not overwhelmed by anxiety and thought calmly.

He felt that he could not make decisions on these important matters alone, so he came to discuss with Wu and Nian Tu.

Nian Tu nodded slightly, "I'm going to make a few small trailers and put the important things on them. If someone is injured or the cub can't walk, they can also be towed away with the small trailers."

She was in charge of directing the work, while the strong ones were responsible for preparing the wood, and the careful ones were responsible for assembling the cart according to the method she gave. With everyone in the tribe working together, the work should be completed soon.

As for the direction of migration, she also had some ideas. "Let's send someone out to look around tomorrow. We will definitely find the footprints of wild animals that are not buried by the snow. We can migrate in the same direction as them..."

While discussing with the tribe leader, she lowered her head and blew on the soup in the small bowl, drank a few sips herself, then scooped up a spoonful and naturally fed it to the little fox's mouth.

Xiaoli was so engrossed in listening to their conversation that she subconsciously stuck out her tongue to lick it. When she tasted the rich flavor, she couldn't help but lick faster and faster.

One spoonful, another spoonful...

Until his father lowered his voice and warned, "Little Li!"

"!!!", the tabby cat finally came to its senses, as if waking up from a dream, and raised its head in disbelief.

If it weren't for the hair covering her face, her face would have been completely red.

Nian Tu couldn't help laughing when he saw her silly look.

The solemn atmosphere became slightly more relaxed.

Since he had already broken the rules, Xiaoli simply gave up, gave up struggling, and drank up all the soup in the bowl.

The clan leader couldn't bear it any longer and coughed to remind them several times, but it was of no use.

After discussing everything that needed to be discussed, he quickly got up and said goodbye, taking his daughter, who was reluctant to leave.

As soon as he went out, he stretched out a finger helplessly and poked Xiaoli, "Didn't we agree not to eat other people's food? Why did you eat it anyway?"

The tabby cat, who was already feeling ashamed, instantly became furious when he heard this.

She flicked her tail and buried her head, "…I didn't mean to do that!"

It wasn't intentional at first...but later on I really indulged myself.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will also bring some food to Nian Tu," she muttered, knowing that she was in the wrong. "If I bring it myself, I can just deduct it from my food allowance."

As a result, she will definitely be hungry tomorrow, but it doesn’t matter.

"The soup cooked by Nian Tu is really delicious," the kitten smacked his lips, savoring the fragrant taste, his whole body filled with happiness.

She would be willing to go hungry for a few days if she could drink such delicious soup.

"Is it really that delicious?" The tribe leader recalled the aroma that filled the cave, and his stomach began to growl as if he was hungry.

"Of course it's real!" Xiaoli pricked up his ears and nodded vigorously, "Would you like to try it next time?"

Her language was too poor to describe the feeling.

"...No," the tribe leader was very tempted, but he suppressed his desire for the time being, "Let's talk about it after the migration is over and we are settled down."

Now is not the time to enjoy yourself, migration is the top priority.

Hopefully they could find a new, habitable territory where he could have enough food to trade with Nian Tu for a bowl of broth.

The patriarch looked toward the distant mountains, feeling nervous but also with a hint of anticipation.
