Chapter 621 Crisis

"Up north, down south, left west, right east."

While the cold wind was howling, he was holding a map carved from a large piece of bark in his hand. While chanting the formulas taught to him by Shenzi, Shi Shi carefully looked at the map in his hand, and then turned around in place. circle.

After a while, I finally found the right direction. The whole person faced the north, and the bark also faced the north. After a while, I finally confirmed the way.

"here."

He pointed with his finger, then put away the map very carefully, and took the lead in walking towards the direction he had just identified, followed by the elder brother and others.

Everyone worked hard to walk in the snow, hoping to meet the trade team earlier and meet those familiar people...

In the distance, there is also a group of people walking forward on the snow. Unlike the senior brother who are all young and strong, there are many women, children, and other weak people among this group of people.

This group of people is the trade team of the Qingque tribe, and the Huangguo tribe that followed.

The speed of the team was not fast. On the one hand, it was because the snow was too deep, and on the other hand, it was dragged down by the people of the Huangguo tribe.

The people of the Huangguo tribe are basically weak because they have not had enough food in winter.

Walking for a long time, especially in such conditions and weather, made many of them overwhelmed.

Even if there are enough furs, and something to wipe the face, which is called a "big treasure" by the Son of God, it will not work.

Because they themselves are too weak.

According to Mao's original calculation, it only takes five days at most to return to the tribe, but now, five days have passed, but he has just gone more than half of it.

Moreover, after walking for a long time, compared with before, those people in the Huangguo tribe became less and less physically strong, their bodies became weaker and weaker, and their walking speed became slower and slower.

Calculated at such a slow speed, it would take at least five days to return to the tribe.

This is not the most important thing. The most worrying thing is that because of the sudden increase in the number of teams and the infinite length of the itinerary, the food carried by the team is no longer enough.

According to this situation, there will be no food in two days.

But Shang and Mao didn't dare to reduce their daily food intake.

Because more and more people in the team are getting weaker and weaker, if they cut back on food at this time, I am afraid that many people in the team will be frozen and starved to death.

Up to now, both Shang and Mao regretted bringing the people from the Huangguo tribe here.

If it wasn't for the encumbrance of the Huangguo tribe, they would have been sleeping on the warm kang right now, and the food crisis would never have happened to them.

But now...

If these people can be abandoned, according to their physical fitness and the foot strength developed by long-term walking and business, it is very easy to set off immediately and rush back to the tribe before the food runs out.

Looking back at those people who were following with exhausted faces but trying to move forward, looking at them full of pleading and anticipation, Shang and Mao couldn't do such a thing no matter what.

These people were brought out by them to join their tribe,

Although he hadn't drunk the green sparrow wine yet, he was not much different from a tribe.

Abandoning their own clansmen, Shang and Mao couldn't do it.

"You take some people back first, tell the Son of God, and then bring people to pick us up."

If this continues, people may die, and even if they are not dead, they will have to kill deer and dogs to satisfy their hunger.

Shang caught up with Mao and told the solution he had thought up.

"no!"

After hearing Shang's words, Mao was stunned, and then refused.

When he was attacked by the Tengshe tribe before, he led the people and abandoned the rest of the tribe to kill them all the way in order to survive.

This incident has been going on until now, and when he thinks about it, it makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Now that there is a similar situation again, he will not do anything like abandoning his clansmen to survive.

"You go back to find the son of God, I will take the people and go back..."

Mao looked at Shang and said.

At this time, those who stay behind are the most dangerous.

Shang also shook his head: "No, you know the way, sometimes I can't remember the way, you go back first, and I will lead someone to follow the footprints you left behind, so that there will be no mistakes."

Lu Chi is a powerful reason, and as soon as Shang said this, Mao immediately had nothing to say.

If Shang led a few people back to report the news first, but got lost in the wind and snow, it would be a great loss for everyone.

Not only Shang and others who went back to report the letter may die, but those who stay behind may also die of freezing and starvation.

"You must be well! Wait for us to come back!"

After a brief dispute, Mao found four faster-legged men from the Qingque tribe, led two deer to carry things, and brought some food and fodder, and said solemnly to Shang and the rest of the people.

Shang and the others also nodded solemnly.

"Walk!"

If there were no more words, Mao took the other four members of the trade team, turned around and accelerated towards the direction of the Qingque tribe, gradually opened the distance with Shang, Huangguo tribe and others, and finally turned into a small Dark spots, gone.

The trade leader left quickly, not daring to delay for a moment, because Shang and the others would be safer if they returned to the tribe earlier.

Shang and the others didn't have much food left, although Shang said when he left that if there wasn't enough food, he would kill the deer, but Mao understood that Shang would not kill the deer unless it was absolutely necessary.

And he didn't want the deer, who had been with them through wind and rain for a long time and helped them a lot, to be killed for meat.

Hurry up, rush to the tribe and see Shen Zishang and they will be fine, and the people from the Huangguo tribe brought back will also survive.

Mao kept urging himself as he walked, even though he was already very tired and his ankle was sore, he still didn't dare to slow down...

The sky is slowly getting dark, and the wind is slowly blowing, making the already cold weather even colder.

If he had been traveling in the snow in the past, Mao would have already made people stop by this time, and he had built a snow house to live in.

But now, he has no intention of stopping, panting heavily, stepping on the thick snow, trudging forward with difficulty.

"Take a break..."

Some people couldn't bear it and wanted to take a rest.

"Let's go a little further, and rest next to the big dead tree in front of us..."

Mao was so tired that he wished he could just lie down, but after thinking about it, he still made the decision to walk a certain distance further.

"That...there is a fire!"

When they walked to the big withered tree, everyone was holding on to the dead tree and gasping for breath. One person inadvertently turned his head and saw a little fire in the dark night. There was a shelter from the wind to the left in front of them.
