Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The next morning.

Every member of the tribe had panda eyes and washed and packed up sleepily.

Several females cooked some pumpkin paste, and the group ate and drank their fill before slowly setting off on their journey.

After today, we will have completed half the journey.

The weather was clear and the air was fresh, and everyone was in high spirits.

However, Lei ordered the troops to be more vigilant and defensive. The males were all focused on the area, surrounding the females in the center.

It turned out that once you walked into this place, you would enter the territory of four nearby tribes.

We must be more vigilant.

Here is the Giant Bone Tribe!

Everyone took a deep breath and watched the changes in every tree and blade of grass.

At the slightest sign of trouble, everyone's eyes would glance over.

……

An hour later, the group was on their way when suddenly a sound came from the woods ahead.

It's the wind!

Along the way, he and Xu served as scouts, always walking ahead of everyone else.

If there is an unexpected situation on the road and you need to stop, you will blow a melody with bamboo leaves...

It seems there is a problem ahead...

Lei immediately ordered them to stop and hide in the dry grass that was as tall as a man beside the road.

Soon, a sound of someone moving quickly on dead leaves was heard from the front.

Sang Tian looked through the gaps in the dry grass.

It was a young man in deerskin, running towards him at a very fast speed.

It's fluff!

Sang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief!

I’m afraid I’ll run into another guy as tough as the cave bear yesterday!

Xu whistled.

Everyone came out one by one.

"Xu, what's going on up ahead?"

"It's Cheng, the leader of the Guyu tribe! He's coming here with everyone in the tribe!"

Mu from the Primitive Hunting Team asked in confusion, "Cheng? Is he worried about the snowy season? Is he bringing the entire tribe out to look for food?"

"No! They don't look like they're out looking for food! They look more like they're migrating!"

what?

Migration?

Lei's majestic voice came: "Xu! Tell me in detail!"

"Yes!

Feng Pashu and I climbed up the tree and looked out at the terrain ahead, only to find that the chief of the Guyu tribe was heading this way with all his tribesmen.

It was all the tribesmen. The team had about fifty people, which matched the number of people in the Guyu tribe.

The crowd ranged from young children to the elderly. More importantly, each of them was carrying a large animal hide package, some of which was exposed animal skin, and some was probably dried meat.

Therefore, Feng and I concluded that it was most likely migration!"

The tribesmen were all confused.

If they were simply looking for food, it would be impossible for the entire tribe, from the young to the old, to go out.

The tribe will definitely keep people here to avoid unexpected situations, such as enemy attacks!

Besides, the snow season is about to begin, so why would they risk all their efforts to go out?

Carrying all the tribe's belongings on his back doesn't seem right no matter how you think about it!

"Xu, you and Mu should go to the Guyu tribe immediately to check if the place is really deserted!"

"Yes!"

Lei was also confused, and didn't know whether they were really migrating or had other intentions.

So we sent Xu and Feng to their tribe to find out! If they were just pretending, then the tribe would definitely reveal its flaws!

Xu and Mu took a shortcut to reach Guyu Tribe, and the round trip only took 20 minutes.

Half an hour later.

Xu and Mu return.

"Chief, there is indeed not a single ghost left in the Guyu tribe! All the necessary animal skins, bone knives, and other items in the cave have been taken away."

Lei muttered earnestly, "Why are they doing this?"

……

Sang Tian was also confused. This matter seemed unreasonable in every way.

Five minutes later, the wind returned.

"Chief, the Guyu tribe has five minutes to arrive here! There is no support or ambush within a ten-mile radius!"

"Male, be on guard! Female, get into the dry grass!"

"Yes!"

Lei didn't let everyone hide because he had to find out the intentions of the Guyu tribe, otherwise he would feel uneasy!

Moreover, even if it was hidden on both sides of the road, the ancient people would still be able to sense it with their keen perception.

It’s better to face each other head on!

Since there is no support or ambush, it means it is not a trap!

Don't worry!

……

Five minutes later, the two groups faced each other.

Cheng, the leader of Guyu, was a little nervous when he saw the group of people in front.

"Lei from the Sirius Tribe? Why are you here?

Why are there people from the Spear Tribe and the Mountain Tiger Tribe here?"

Yong took the lead in the conversation: "We haven't even asked you what's going on! The whole tribe has left!"

"I...we...we're just going to take a walk..."

"Bullshit! We need to move all the tribe members, young and old, and even move all their belongings?"

Cheng's face turned pale and he said unnaturally: "Lei! Take care of your people!"

Lei said calmly, "Alright, my people are being rude. We can let you go. But, we need to know the purpose of your trip! Is it harmful to Tianlang?"

"You...why do you care about my purpose? It has nothing to do with you anyway!"

"Okay, you should know that I won't let go of something I recognize!"

……

Cheng Jianlei was so stubborn that he just sat down on the ground!

"Oh my, why is our life so hard? There are people forcing us everywhere we go!"

"Anyway, I haven't done anything wrong, so what if I tell you.

Lei, I trust your character. We've dealt with each other so many times in the past. Justice and fairness, don't let me fail!

To tell you the truth! We can't stay here any longer! We have to leave!

Lei, you've always known about our Guyu situation. We simply couldn't stay here this snowy season. We snuck out while the Giant Bone Tribe and the Matsutake Tribe were attending the Autumn Fair!"

……

Situation, what situation?

Seeing Sang Tian's puzzled expression, Cang explained in a low voice, "There are four tribes in this area. The Giant Bone and Matsutake tribes are relatively strong and are secretly competing with each other.

At the same time, these two tribes were eyeing the weak Guyu Tribe and Fengyun Tribe.

But because both the Giant Bone and Matsutake tribes wanted a piece of the pie, the two tribes were secretly competing with each other. Therefore, they had not yet taken action against Guyu and Fengyun.

So that's how it is. The Guyu tribe will be destroyed sooner or later. It's just a matter of time.

Guyu and Fengyun are small and powerful tribes, and have always been the hunting targets of giant bones and matsutake mushrooms.

But who caused the rift between Giant Bone and Matsutake? They both wanted to get Fengyun and Guyu!

Over the past few years, the giant bones and the matsutake have been holding each other back, so the power is balanced, at least on the surface.

But now Guyu is unwilling to sit and wait for death, so he takes the initiative to escape.

If you can’t beat him, can’t you run away?

……

"So that's how it is. We can escape while the two tribes are attending the Autumn Fair!"

Lei asked, "You can't just leave like that. You've been planning this for a long time, right? Where are you going?"

In other words, why this snow season?"

"Of course, we've been planning this for two years! We chose the site and dug the hole two years ago! It wasn't completed until the end of this summer! We were just waiting for this opportunity at the trade fair!"

Besides the cave being completed, the second thing was that we hadn't found much food this autumn! Every time we found prey and were about to hunt, it would be snatched away by those two tribes!

If we don't go out during this snow season, we won't be able to survive even without them doing anything!"

It’s been planned for two years!

This success has the endurance of someone who accomplishes great things!

Two years ago, I was planning to escape from the clutches that would eventually lead to my destruction!

It is rare to find such wise and well-planned people.

……

"Why haven't the giant bones and matsutake mushrooms discovered the cave after two years of digging?"

This is what Lei and Sang are really suspicious about.

Giant Bone and Matsutake keep an eye on their every move!

Why was the hole not discovered after two years of digging?

……

"Hey! What's so difficult about this?

To be honest, I started preparing for this project three years ago, but only started construction two years ago.

Three years ago, three people in the tribe "died". One was an elderly man, one was a young male who unfortunately "died" while hunting, and the other was a middle-aged male who unfortunately fell off a cliff.

Two years ago, three more people in the tribe died. One died of a fever, one from a bee sting, and one died during the snowy season.

A year ago, another female and male died..."

How could he be so fragile? He was actually faking his death!

I had them pretend to be dead, and the tribe members pretend to be sad. We followed all the normal procedures for the death of a tribe member. Finally, we buried them in a pit that had been prepared in advance with a small path.

They waited until midnight to crawl out and quietly went to the selected site to dig a hole.

For the past three years, they have been living in the cave without seeing the sun.

The tribe sends food every two months.

With such a long interval, they can’t find out!

Unknowingly.

How could Giant Bone and Matsutake have imagined that even death could be pretended?

Otherwise, how could a hole be dug for two or three years?

It’s because they don’t dare to let so many people “die”, so with only eight people digging the hole, of course the speed is slow.

After the completion, I sneaked back at midnight.

I haven't even left the cave in the past six months!

……

That's it!

Cheng, I really admire you!

Such a damaging move can be thought of...

After all, who would dig a grave? Besides, ancient people attached great importance to "death"!

The success comes from calculating this accurately, so you can be confident and fearless!

As for eight people dying in three years, it is normal, after all, this is an ancient tribe with backward medical conditions.

It's normal, but it's not normal. But neither Giant Bone nor Matsutake could have guessed that it was a fake death!

This loophole was finally exploited!

Should we say he is smart and imaginative, or should we say he is cunning?

……

"But how can you survive without food?"

"For the past two years, we have been storing food in the caves we dug. Although it's not much, it's enough for us to live a tight life during the snow season!

Lei, I tell you, I believe in you. If you have any bad ideas, we will fight to the death to drag you down with us!

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your food. Tianlang has enough food for us to eat for a year!"

"What?"

……
