Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"If my calculations are correct, we will be able to get out in another five or six days. Once we get out of this mountain and onto the official road, we can walk for another ten days or half a month and reach the border of Qiyu Mountain, where we can settle down!"

Mo Xiaonian let out a long sigh.

"It would be great if we could settle down. Then we can make money and recuperate. When the tribe becomes stronger, we won't have to be bullied by others anymore. Then our lives will be better."

Fu Cang patted his chest so hard that it made loud slapping sounds.

"As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you!"

Mo Xiaonian didn't want to hurt Fu Cang's feelings, so she didn't refute his words. In fact, she knew very well in her heart that if the tribe was not strong, it was only a matter of time before it would be bullied by others. Even if Fu Cang was the most powerful warrior, there would always be times when he was unable to do something. After all, he only had one life and couldn't use it to fight others all the time. That was not enough for Mo Xiaonian to worry about.

After breakfast, the group continued on their journey.

The weather was very good these days, with clear skies every day, so their progress went very smoothly. However, during lunch, Yue Lu told Fu Cang that they had to slow down.

"Why? If we go this way, we will be able to reach the official road in four or five days, and we will be able to reach Qiyu Mountain in about half a month, and we can settle down there."

Yuelu sighed.

"Fu Cang, you have Mo Xiaonian by your side, so you have enough food and drink, but other families are not. After this winter's consumption, most families have run out of food, especially Hu Mu and his group. They didn't have any food before, and after joining our tribe, they exchanged their prey for some food, but they have already eaten it all, so they plan to go out hunting again. We have to give them time to hunt."

Fu Cang nodded.

"I see. I didn't think it through. I didn't think of this."

"The key is that your family has enough food and drink, so it's normal to ignore this matter. Luhua and I are both thanks to Xiaonian, otherwise we two women probably wouldn't be able to get through this so easily. Look, now even Fengming and Linghua have gone out hunting with the hunter. At this time, no one can take care of anyone else."

As soon as they started hunting, their pace suddenly slowed down. They stopped at the third hour every day to give the hunters time to go into the mountains to hunt.

Mo Xiaonian got out of the car and stretched lazily towards the sun.

The mountains in spring are very comfortable. Mo Xiaonian turned over the dead leaves on the ground and found that a layer of green grass had sprouted underneath.

"Grandma, the grass is sprouting, it's really spring time!"

Yue Lu's hands were always busy. When hunters went into the mountains to hunt, she would sit on the cart and sew shoe soles. She had sewed a thick stack of them now, most of which were for Mo Xiaonian and Fu Cang.

"Yes, spring is here and the flowers are blooming. It's finally a good time. No matter how cold the winter is, it will eventually pass. When we get to the vicinity of Qiyu Mountain, the ground will be thawed and we can build a house. You must help me plan our tribe well. We can't build it in a mess like last time, which would easily lead to danger."

"That's no problem..."

Mo Xiaonian was halfway through his words when Fu Cang and the others came back.

But Fu Cang's face didn't look good, and he looked as cold as if he was frozen.

Yuelu also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he put down the shoe he was working on and walked over.

"Fu Cang, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're angry with someone?"

"Ask Wang Caigen! He ignored our advice and killed a bear cub!"

Yuelu's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Wang Caigen, bring your prey here for me to see!"

Wang Caigen had been hiding behind the crowd. When he heard Yuelu calling him, he walked over reluctantly.

When Yuelu saw the prey in Wang Caigen's hand, her scalp suddenly felt tingling.

That was really a bear cub that was no more than half a year old!

He is going to make big trouble!

"Wang Caigen! I've told you hunters that you must never hunt the cubs of this kind of beast. Why don't you listen?"

"Oh, Great Elder, wasn't it before when we had a fixed residence that we were afraid that those adult beasts would go crazy and follow the scent to destroy our tribe? But now we don't have a fixed residence. By the time the mother bear comes to find us, we will have already walked a long way away. I don't believe that if we are far away, the mother bear will still be able to find us so smartly. So you don't have to worry about this matter. There will be no problem."

Yuelu pointed at Wang Caigen with a shaking finger and sighed.

She knew that after so many unexpected events, the tribe had lost its cohesion, and the words of herself, the chief elder, and Fu Cang were no longer effective.

If this continues, their Yueluo tribe will become a mess.

"Wang Caigen, you are quite opinionated. You didn't listen to what I, the great elder, said. In this kind of situation, we should be prepared for the worst. If the mother bear really follows the scent, then it will be because of your selfish behavior that the tribe is in danger."

"Oh, Great Elder, it's not as serious as you said. After I killed the bear cub, I washed it in the river for a long time. How could it have any smell? How did we survive this winter? I don't know how you guys have food and drink every day. If you don't bring back some meat, our whole family will starve to death! You are our Great Elder, you can't just think about yourself in everything!"

Shuanghua had been standing next to Wang Caigen and took the bear cub.

"That's right, Great Elder. We all respected you before because you were the daughter of our tribal leader. When the last disaster happened, the leader died for us, and you also lost your husband and son. That's why we listened to you willingly.

But Great Elder, you have to think clearly. You are not the leader of our tribe yet, so you can't arrange everything for us! I think my husband did a good job. It's already this late. If we can't get the prey back, we will starve to death. Why bother with so many things at this time? Just have something to eat!"

Fu Cang stood in front of Shuanghua and Wang Caigen with a stern face.

"How dare you disrespect the Great Elder! I think you are tired of living! If you don't want to stay in the tribe, just get out. No one is asking you to stay. Take your prey and get out of here. Don't drag down the people in the tribe."
