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

They walked for a very long time before Fu Cang decided to stop and rest, eat something to replenish their energy.

Yue Lu came over carrying a pair of leather boots and sat next to Mo Xiaonian.

"I've made your shoes. Try them on to see if they fit your feet."

"So fast! Grandma, you have great craftsmanship! These shoes are so beautiful!"

Mo Xiaonian put the pair of leather boots on her feet. They were the right size and very comfortable to wear.

"Just make sure they fit you well. That way, even if the weather gets cold, your feet won't get cold."

Mo Xiaonian happily put away her shoes. Seeing that Yue Lu didn't look very good, she thought that she was frightened by the tragic conditions of the tribes she had seen before.

"Grandma, are you in a bad mood? Is it because of those tribes we just passed by that were also destroyed?"

Yuelu shook his head.

"Not entirely, you see!"

Yuelu stretched out his finger and pointed at a large patch of leaden clouds in the western sky.

"Look at the shape of that cloud. I feel like the weather is going to change! This is not a good thing for people like us. We all ran away in a hurry and didn't bring any of our belongings with us. If the weather changes suddenly, I'm worried that some of the elderly may not be able to survive."

"But isn't it autumn now? It should still be warm for a while, right?"

"The weather in the mountains can change at any time, and no one can predict it. I hope my worries are unnecessary. By the way, Xiao Nian, the sugar cane you gave me yesterday was really delicious. After eating it, I felt stronger. I don't know if it was my illusion!"

"It's not necessarily an illusion. Sweet things can indeed replenish your physical strength. If you like to eat them, I'll go out and look for them later to see if I can bring some back."

"Don't go too far. This is a real deep forest. Who knows what kind of ferocious beasts are hiding in there. I don't want you to encounter any accidents."

"I know, grandma, don't worry."

Yuelu kept praying that his worries were unnecessary, but things did not go as he wished. In the afternoon, a large patch of leaden clouds covered the entire sky, and as the sky darkened, countless cold little particles fell from the sky.

It was freezing rain in October.

Mo Xiaonian's foot had almost healed, but Fu Cang insisted on carrying her on his back. Now that the freezing rain started, Mo Xiaonian immediately took out the fur and put it on the heads of both of them. Moreover, a steady stream of warm air was transmitted from Fu Cang's back to her chest, so that she didn't feel the cold at all.

However, the freezing rain made the already difficult mountain road even more slippery and difficult to walk on. The people behind were left further and further behind by Fu Cang, and finally Yue Lu caught up with Fu Cang.

"Fu Cang, let's stop and rest. We are all exhausted, and some of the elderly really can't keep up with us."

Fu Cang looked a little anxious.

"Great Elder, our speed is too slow. I estimated that we could reach the plain of Qiyu Mountain Range in more than a month, but that was based on our normal speed. If we continue at our current speed, I think we may not be able to reach there even after three months.

The arrival of freezing rain means winter is approaching. It is very likely that the mountain will be blocked by heavy snow when we are halfway through. No one in our tribe brought any belongings with them. We only have one piece of clothing. If we are really trapped in the mountain by heavy snow, I guarantee that no one can survive this winter!

Yuelu said worriedly, "This is what I am most worried about. I asked you to wait a moment because I want to discuss it with you.

We are now migrating together as a whole tribe. The old people and children in the tribe need our special care, so I think we might really encounter heavy snow and block the mountain before we reach Qiyushan.

We will definitely try our best to avoid this, but we must also be prepared to deal with it in advance. Fu Cang, do you have any good ideas? Let me hear them."

Fu Cang didn't rush to speak. He closed his eyes and reviewed the topographic map of the area in front of him.

Thanks to his previous career as a hunter, where he had to wander around the mountains every day, he knew the terrain of this area like the back of his hand.

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Cang finally spoke.

"I do have an idea. Anyway, we may not be able to get out of this mountain before the snow closes the mountain, so we might as well change direction and go around to the Cangli Mountain in the west. There used to be a tribal gathering place there, and the scale of the gathering place is much larger than the previous one. In addition, the terrain of Cangli Mountain is very high, so I think it should not be affected by the flood.

There is a tribal fair in Cang'er Mountain. Let's ask the hunters to hunt more prey along the way. When we get to the fair in Cang'er Mountain, we can change into more warm clothes. Then we can find a cave or other place in the mountain that can withstand the severe cold and spend the winter there. After the spring comes, we will head to Qiyu Mountain. "

After hearing Fu Cang's words, Yue Lu nodded in agreement.

"Now it seems that this is the only way. Anyway, I have already thought about it. When we build a tribe again, we must not build it in the mountains. Although it is convenient for us to hunt, when danger comes, there is really no room for resistance. Moreover, it is too isolated, which makes it difficult for the tribe to grow and develop. The destruction of our last tribe was actually my responsibility. I didn't think these things through before, and I just thought it was safe there. Unexpectedly, a big flood destroyed our business of more than ten years! I feel really guilty!"

"Don't say that. Natural disasters can happen anywhere. Don't blame yourself!"

With this plan in mind, they went to bed early today, and then Yue Lu explained the matter to everyone.

Hearing that they finally didn't have to travel so hard, everyone in the tribe relaxed and set up simple tents early. The hunters in the tribe formed groups and began to explore the surroundings.

Because it was early, the other women in the tribe gathered together to look for edible things around them, digging wild vegetables and picking mushrooms. Those that could not be eaten were dried so that they would have something to eat in the winter.

The funniest thing is that they have so many things to carry, so they string all these dried wild vegetables and dried mushrooms together with vines and hang them around their necks. The woman who has the most of these things hanging around her neck will be envied by others, and men will also feel very proud.

On this point, Mo Xiaonian was incompatible with them, as if there was a thick wall between them, and there was no possibility of integrating with them.
