"The bloodstain is broken, it should be nearby." Song, who was walking in the front, stopped on a slope and looked down.

A few thousand meters away from the wolves, the blood stains are getting less and less, and the accompanying footprints are getting more and more messy. Now it seems that they probably rolled down from here.

"Going down?" asked the bee beside him.

"It's all here, let's go."

Tang Zheng took a few steps forward and slid down the slope first, and the others followed.

Along the several obvious scratches on the slope, Tang Zheng got up and patted the snow on his body after descending to the bottom of the slope, and looked around the surrounding environment. The footprints were covered very shallowly by the snow, and now there seems to be no trace at all. .

"No footprints." Song, who was standing still behind her, gave an affirmative answer.

"Then where did this group of people go?" Bee passed by and walked forward muttering, "Could it be possible that they can still fly, eh!"

Hearing a "plop", the bee fell forward into the snow, and brought out the hand it was holding at the ankle, which was frozen gray-white and blue-purple. Tang Zheng and the others hurried forward and pushed it away The snow layer reveals the frozen man below with only a trace of breath left.

"Help...save..." The man was so cold that he couldn't speak clearly, he just repeated the word save.

"There should be people nearby, dig them out soon."

Putting the man flat on the ground, Tang Zheng quickly gave instructions, and at the same time followed to find the man buried in the snow.

It didn't take long for them to find out all the people nearby, and they all lost consciousness from the cold, five men, three women, and even one child. It's going to be sealed up in this icy world.

Looking at the people dragged together all over the place, Song looked at Tang Zheng and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Take it back first, and see what the old grandmother says."

This group of people had obvious wounds, most of which were small scratches from vines. Only one person had fresh marks of being bitten by wolves, and the remaining few were obviously injured by rough stone tools. The wound, for some reason, the amount of clothing on the body is completely not what it should be in the snow season.

There are many factors to consider in saving lives now. Food rations are a big problem in this icy and snowy place. What's more, there are nine people here, so Tang Zheng dare not make any claims.

The others glanced at each other, but they didn't refute. They squatted down and found someone to resist.

Xiong was the strongest man, with one arm on his shoulder, and there were only eight of them in total. Tang Zheng picked up the remaining little girl, who looked a little younger than her. There is not much weight in her hand, otherwise she might not be able to bring people back to the cave.

Leading the people to walk slowly, running in the southeast and northwest for so long, surrounded by vast white snow, Tang Zheng really couldn't tell which direction the tribe was in, but the mountain was like a living map, and he walked in one direction with his feet lifted .

Tang Zheng followed the team and fell behind, frowning again as she walked, and looked down at the girl in her arms. If there is nothing wrong with her nose... This girl seems to have a very faint smell of medicine. But it does smell of herbs.

I looked up and glanced at the people on the shoulders or backs of the other people. Compared with the appearance of the clansmen when I came here for the first time in my memory, although this group of people were in a mess, they were really much cleaner. In addition to the wounds on their bodies, it should be the friction between the tribes. Undoubtedly, a very strange tribe, what is being spied on, if it is the one she thinks, then maybe these people are worth saving.

No one knew that shortly after they left, the wolves followed the scent and came here, sniffing the faint smell of blood and looking in the direction they left.

"Grandmother!" Song shouted into the cave while stepping into it.

This trip was relatively far away, and it was already dusk when we came back. Everyone entered the cave one after another, and directly placed the people they brought back by the fire ditch.

"This, this is..." When the old grandmother came out with someone, the strangers all over the place were unavoidably surprised, and didn't know what to say.

Tang Zheng asked Feng to report the situation to the old grandmother. She put the girl in her arms on her bed. Although it was only a thick pile of weeds tied into a bedding, it was better than sleeping on the ground.Afterwards, they pulled up the mountain to boil hot water and used a tripod. The demand of so many people must not be small. By the way, the bamboo rafts on the ditch outside were removed and replaced with wooden cones. What's wrong.

When Tang Zheng came back, Feng also explained almost everything. The old grandmother didn't know what she was thinking, her face was sullen, and she couldn't see any emotions.

"Hazel, come here."

"Yes." Not knowing what the old grandmother meant, Tang Zheng obediently went to sit beside her.

After waiting for a while, the old grandmother said, "Do you want to keep them?"

"Let's talk about it when they wake up. Maybe they belong to a nearby tribe. We happened to meet wolves on the way." Although they really wanted to keep these people, the population of their tribe has always been a big problem, whether these people are real or not Huai Bi, as long as the rations can keep up, there is no harm, but Tang Zheng still just laughed and didn't admit it right away.

"No." The old grandmother affirmed: "These people are not wearing leather from the stone tribe, so they can't get close."

Tang Zheng was taken aback for a moment. She had been looking at the wounds before, only to realize that although the leather they wore was not as good as hers, the technique was indeed better than that of the Stone Tribe. It is true that the stone tribe can't get close to living.

"Then it looks like where did this group of people really escape from?" Tang Zheng asked back.

"It should be from the south, I'm afraid it will be in trouble." The old grandmother thought for a while and gave a guess, then looked at Tang Zheng again, "It is not easy to support these people with more things in the clan, so you What do you think?"

"I don't know." Tang Zheng became entangled again. On the one hand, he was worried that the tribe would not have enough to eat. After all, it was not easy to find food in such a harsh environment outside. On the other hand, he wanted to keep people behind. In terms of development, there are great benefits. "Actually, I want to stay. There are several men in this group. It will be safer to go hunting after loosening them, and we can hunt more prey."

Hearing Tang Zheng say this, the old grandmother was a little helpless. She didn't know the benefits of having a lot of people. It's just that now it's hard to live so comfortably in the snow season. This is the reason why it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

"Hey, you can keep these few people after a long time, you can figure it out." In the end, the old grandmother would prefer to keep people. In the long run, this choice is indeed better.

"Okay, but it's not certain whether they will stay when they wake up." The old grandmother nodded Tang Zheng was somewhat happy. After all, it was still the thinking of modern people. Letting her let her go It is somewhat unbearable for a group of people to freeze to death outside, and let them go after they wake up.

The bee who was listening next to him chuckled and said, "Our place is warm like the rainy season. No one wants to leave when they come."

"Who says it's not?" Xiong agreed with deep confidence. In his eyes, his tribe is always the best, no matter it was before or now.

"You guys." Tang Zheng smiled and shook her head, "If these people are really willing to stay, we may not be able to eat enough."

"What's the matter, brother will bring you a cow tomorrow!" Feng said indifferently.

"See if you can." Tao kicked him, then turned to Tang Zheng and said, "It's the same reason. If you run out of food, you can go out and look for it. After so many snow seasons, how many people can help?" It's not as bad as it used to be."

Hearing what Tao said, the others nodded in agreement, saying that this was not a problem.

"Okay, if they recognize our totem when they wake up, they will have several more brothers and sisters." Looking at the person lying next to him, Tang Zheng felt a little hopeful in his heart.

After chatting with the clansmen for a while, Shan ran in with a clay pot. The pot was huge and was fired later. Tang Zheng either drew patterns on the ground or taught him a lot of pottery shapes by himself.

Asking Shan to put down the basin and bring another one, Tang Zheng directed everyone to carry the men into it, and the women stayed with her, soaked their skin in hot water and wrung them dry to wipe their bodies. For more than half a month, she has given the clan people the idea that men and women are different, and she also remembers to take a bath often.

The freshly boiled water was very scalding, but cooling down had no effect. Tang Zheng squeezed the leather with two fingers to wring out the water on it. The pain of the burn before was still fresh in his memory.

The other women are in charge of Tao and the others. Tang Zheng takes care of the little girl she brought back. To be honest, she doesn’t know why she came in person. I think it’s because I’m too busy recently. I always wanted a younger sister before. I really can have one.

The sleeping position Tang Zheng chose for herself was just right, not too close to the fire ditch and it would not be too hot, and her back against the wall would also block the wind.After wringing it dry, Tang Zheng shook the skin to dissipate some of the temperature before he dared to wipe the girl's hands. Her whole body was as cold as ice, and it's not good to be cold and hot.

After wiping her again, Tang Zheng stretched out her hand and touched her arm. When the temperature returned to normal, she went to change a basin of hot water and wiped again. After working for a while, it was getting late when everyone cleaned up.

The pomelo was cooked in advance, and it was stewed in a pot. During this period of time, Tang Zheng was a little tired of eating this, so I went back to my bed to sleep. Just about to lie down, I suddenly saw a person lying on it, and I was a little dazed. I had to react. Sit down next to him, put his elbows on his cross-legged thighs and look at the little girl with his head on his head.

She looks quite quiet, although it's weird to describe primitive people as quiet, but it doesn't feel bad, and I hope her personality matches her appearance, after all, she doesn't like people who are too loud.

Covering her mouth and yawning, Tang Zheng felt a little sleepy, pushed the girl in and lay down on her side, and soon fell asleep after a tiring day.
