famine queen

Chapter 24
Jin Mang felt that life was going to be difficult.

After the harsh winter and the turbulent rain and flood, the high temperature of nearly [-] degrees made all the creatures in Anze hot.

When the rain flood just disappeared without a trace, Jin Mang was happy for a few days, but the heat and drought that followed made her miserable.

Until this time, she didn't know that the bottom of her cave was full of thick bamboo tubes the size of leather balls one after another, and before she knew it, these bamboo tubes were filled with water.

But according to them, the water is to be kept for food on the way of migration.

Therefore, when the drought first appeared and there was only a little water left on the river bed, Jin Mang had to follow his parents to start drinking dirty water.

The taste of mud and sand mixed with water entering the throat is really indescribable, Jin Mang was forced to make a simple water purification filter.

Moreover, in order not to get sick, she also asked Qingfeng Qingsui to start drinking boiled water with clam shells with her.

——At this time, creatures suffering from the plague have begun to appear, and even, through Lan Ya's message, they know that some humans have begun to suffer from the plague.

Jinmang's limited medical knowledge told her that water is the biggest channel for the spread of infectious diseases.

In recent days, the hunting difficulty of their family has increased sharply. It is difficult to hunt a prey for almost three days, but every day they come across the dead animal carcasses of the plague.

According to Jin Mang's thinking, it is best not to eat these animal carcasses, but Qing Feng and Qing Sui don't think so.

Jin Mang originally thought that they didn't know that eating these dead animals might catch the disease, but it was not the case.

While handling these corpses, Qingsui said: "There is a chance of getting the disease, but it is still relatively low. As long as it is not cannibalism, the chance of getting the plague is not high. Even if it is really infected, as long as the body is strong enough, it will Can make it through."

After a pause, "The most important thing is that at this time, we have no capital to waste. If we don't eat, we may starve to death. Although we may die of illness if we eat, at least we can live for a few more days."

"Anyway, it's death."

Jin Mang was speechless.
On the contrary, Qing Feng added from the side: "You can't eat all the prey that died of illness, and eat them with healthy prey, then the chance of getting sick will be small."

He glanced at Jin Mang and said, "You are still young, so I won't let you eat it."

Jin Mang didn't try to be brave, the child's resistance was weak, she couldn't make herself sick just to let her parents eat two more pieces of good meat.

When the waters in the territory were completely dry and the wet riverbed was replaced by dry and cracked soil, the tribal migration team that their family had been waiting for arrived.

Qingsui told Jin Mang that their tribal name is Youying, and the oldest elder is her grandma, and besides Qingfeng and their nine brothers and sisters, the rest are descendants of the three Qingsui sisters.

Jin Mang once asked curiously: "Have the children of my aunt and uncle grown up? Otherwise, why didn't we see it when we went last time?"

"No, your aunt's youngest child is only 15 years old, but after the cub is 12 years old, the parents will occupy a smaller territory for them on the edge of the spiritual realm and live a semi-independent life. Until the cub reaches adulthood, When they are threatened by powerful enemies, their parents will give them shelter." After a pause, Qingsui looked at her and said, "But you are a girl, you can stay in my and your father's territory for a few more years."

A girl is weaker than a boy, and her parents will not kick her out of the house at the age of 12 unless she is with brothers who form a family.

At this time, the Youying tribe who came to their territory was already very large, and it looked mighty from a distance.

However, the first thing Jin Mang noticed was the huge monster surrounded by everyone.

It was a... probably a car.

The huge square cuboid is definitely iron-based wood in terms of color, and its size...Jin Mang estimates that the internal space is at least 20 cubic meters, and then look at the wheels below...

Jin Mang was really shocked!
It was different from any wheel I had ever seen. The wheels of that car were spherical.

What was even more surprising was that the wheels of that car were not made of iron-based wood as I thought, but a material that I had never seen before.

It's a bit amber in color, I don't know if it's rubber, you have to touch it with your hands to know.

After observing the car, Jin Mang turned his eyes to look at the members of the tribe. Except for the uncle, aunt, and grandmother, they were all unfamiliar faces, but their identities could be vaguely judged from their ages.

The grandma gave birth to nine sons and three daughters, the eldest aunt gave birth to four sons and three daughters, and the two daughters gave birth to her separately, giving her a granddaughter and two grandsons, and the second aunt gave birth to five sons and two daughters, plus Qingsui's golden son. Mang, there are exactly 30 people in the British tribe.

At this time, a group of blood relatives couldn't care less about reminiscing about the old days, Qingfeng Qingsui moved all the stored food out of the cave, and put them into the grain cart one by one.

Seeing that they had nearly half more food than other families, Lan Ya couldn't help being surprised, "How do you store so much food?"

Others looked over with envy.

Jin Mang blinked and didn't understand. Not long after, she realized that although the tribes moved together when migrating, the food reserves were not mixed together, and they often ate their own food reserves.

Of course, at critical moments, if you have spare energy, everyone will not be stingy to help each other.

However, if they are too busy to take care of themselves, they will not show sympathy even to their relatives.

Qing Feng smiled and touched Jin Mang's head, "It's all thanks to Man Mang, she taught us how to make potato flour." Before they only taught Lan Ya how to make dried sweet potatoes and dried yams, so Lan Ya and the others didn't find them. Too many potatoes.

Lan Ya didn't ask any further questions, she reached out and hugged Jin Mang onto the grain truck, and the group set off.

Sitting on the grain cart with Jin Mang was only seven children besides the grandmother, four of whom looked about the same age as Jin Mang, two children around six or seven years old, and one child around ten years old.

——Anze Humans are used to breeding after the split season, and the split season usually comes every two or three years. Therefore, the age difference between their cubs is almost three years old.

Jin Mang looked down and saw that there were thick ropes in front of the grain truck, each of the adult men of the tribe was pulling one, pulling the grain truck forward like trackers, while the women were pushing the grain truck behind, and on both sides were Five and a half children, the oldest of them looked seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest was only 12 years old.

Granny took Jin Mang into her arms, and said softly: "Be good, take advantage of the time you can rest now to gather up your strength, and in the future... even if you are children, you still have to work hard."
