Prehistoric Survival Records

Chapter 38 On the Importance of Migration

After eating this meal, the orcs spread their bellies to dry in the square and basked in the moonlight, as if they were full of food and drink, and their families were worth their weight in life.

With this incomparably delicious meal as a base, the words that Bu originally thought were very difficult to speak became much easier to say in such a warm atmosphere.

The stewed pork with spring bamboo shoots was so tempting that Rieg couldn't help but feel a little full. Quinn was hugging and rubbing his belly when he saw the patriarch Bu walking up to the stone platform in the middle of the square.

The originally noisy square gradually became quiet.

Seeing Rieg's doubts, Quinn explained that this stone platform was used by the previous patriarchs to discuss important matters. Usually, the patriarchs would not run to stand on the stone platform when they had nothing to do. It should be because of some decision that would have a greater impact on the tribe. to announce.

This stone platform is as high as half a person, and the cubs often climb up and down, and there are often passing orcs who put something to dry wild vegetables or something, it is such an important place.

Rigg was a little embarrassed, saying that Charlie had rubbed feathers on it.

But it's a big deal, there shouldn't be any big things in the clan recently, if it comes to important decisions, wouldn't it be the one he thought about.

Seeing that Bu was facing everyone, he said with a serious face: "A catastrophe is about to happen."

As soon as Bu finished speaking, many orcs who were still paralyzed to dry salted fish turned over and sat up, looking left, right, up and down.

Forehead--

This is the prologue.

Three black lines hung slowly from Rieg's head.

Bu didn't seem to know what shocking meteorite he dropped: "Everyone should have discovered—"

Bu drew a circle around the square with his hand: "We have fewer and fewer females, and the birth rate of cubs is also decreasing year by year."

"Everyone look at the people around you."

The orcs looked at each other and looked at each other, not knowing what the patriarch wanted them to see.

"Toto, tell me how many fathers you have." When everyone was at a loss, Bu began to roll the roll.

"Uh... four—four?" A simple and honest man wearing a leather wristband scratched his head and replied.

"Situations like Toto's have become more and more common in recent years. Toto's mother has married four males, but there are still many males who cannot find females during estrus."

Only to hear Bu continue: "Everyone should have noticed that we have had fewer cubs in recent years. Not to mention far away, the cubs born in the past two or three years are only ten. "

"That's why I said that there will be a catastrophe. For a tribe, there will be fewer females and fewer cubs. If you look at it from a distance, it will be a catastrophe for the genocide."

This is what happened around me, and the words are not mysterious, so most of the orcs, especially the male orcs, understood it all at once, and the comfortable atmosphere of eating and drinking became a little dignified.

Bu said with some sadness: "Since I took over as the patriarch, I have kept this matter in my heart all the time."

"It stands to reason that I should have made up my mind a few years ago, but I can't bear it. First, I can't let go of this place left by my ancestors. Besides, the situation in the tribe has not been good in the past two years. Our tribe will not voluntarily give up any A clansman, if we go on the road together at that time, and we don’t know what dangers we will encounter, I am so worried that I can’t sleep at night.”

Having said this, Bu was a little emotional and touched his eyes.

Seeing their patriarch so worried, these orcs don't care about anything else, they just cheered loudly: "I will do what you say, patriarch."

"The patriarch is right, I listen to the patriarch."

"We all listen to you."

"I also listen to the patriarch."

There is also the voice of the little boy shouting along with it:

"Oh, listen to patriarch grandpa!"

Seeing this group of orcs supporting him sincerely, Bu just wanted to wipe his eyes, but now he almost burst into tears.

He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"This matter is not without a solution. As long as we have the courage to leave here and go to a new place, as long as we find a new habitat, there is food in that place, and there are other tribes, we can let our tribe continue to multiply. , We have been closed for too long, this continent has long lost our voice, it is time to go out."

When he said the word "go home", Bu's voice trembled a little.

The square was quiet for a while, leave, go out?

Bu's words were too complicated, and these stubborn orcs couldn't turn a corner, but soon, someone shouted:

"Listen to the patriarch!"

So voices sounded one after another: "Listen to the patriarch!"

"Listen to the patriarch!"

Finally merged into a voice: "Listen to the patriarch!"

Bu was destined to be moved to the breaking point today. He raised his fist and shouted: "As long as our tribe is united, we will survive no matter where we go."

"Get out, get out!"

"Survive, survive!"

The fires were jumping, the crowd was jumping, the voices were jumping, it was a night that deserved to be written about.

Rigg didn't know when the crowd dispersed that night. Before the crowd dispersed, he fell asleep in Quinn's arms, and he didn't even know when he was carried back to the cave by his father.

Unlike modern people who go out to pack underwear and underwear, the rest can be bought temporarily during the trip. A tribe needs to relocate, which involves all aspects of life. It requires planning, and you can’t just leave.

So early the next morning, Bu came to the door with swaying splayed steps.

The two fathers have long been used to the patriarch coming to the house just to look for the youngest cub, and the big age difference between the elder and the younger can still have a good time chatting with each other.

Rieger and Charlie were having breakfast, and they were immediately blocked by Bu in the corner, and Boo showed a wretched, uncle-like smile:

"Rig, look at Grandpa, I was very courageous yesterday, wasn't I?"

Rigg watched Boo perform, chewing and chewing.

Charlie chewed too.

Bu coughed and stroked Charlie's hair: "Charlie, boy, has he gained weight recently?"

Rigg also felt that Charlie gained a lot of weight, but Charlie didn't feel it himself, so he shook off Boo's hand and continued to eat.

"Yeah, Charlie has grown taller again." Rigg said.

"It's good to grow taller, it's good to grow taller, you also need to eat more to grow taller." Bu looked at Lige's small body that hadn't grown a few inches, and reminded him a little worriedly.

Convex -

Grandpa Bu, you really don't know which pot you can't open and which pot to lift, don't you know that height is the pain of his two lifetimes?

I don't know if Rigg's resentment has manifested to the point that even a rough-natured orc can feel it. Boo pretended to be nonchalant, retracted the big hand that was pressing on Rigg's head, and pretended to rub the non-existent beard. .

Lige knew exactly why Bu came here. Although Bu poked at the pain point of his height, he really didn't want to embarrass the patriarch who was only thinking about the patriarch.

So Rieg chewed and swallowed the last two bites of meat in his mouth, and raised his hand to speak:

"I will teach you the knowledge about survival in the wild that the beast god taught me last time."

After thinking about it, Rieg added: "Once we go out, we don't know what dangers and difficulties we may encounter on the way. We should be fully prepared."

Originally, Bu was satisfied with Lige's answer and was about to leave, but suddenly he heard Lige say this, and asked him, "What kind of preparation are you talking about?"

Lige snapped his fingers and muttered: "The so-called poor family's rich road - oh, this sentence was taught to me by the beast god, which means that you can do whatever you want in the tribe, and you should bring more things when you go to the wild, in case you can't find a water source temporarily." some type of."

Bu smacked the words on his lips a few times, and felt that they made a lot of sense.

Lige continued: "In addition to not being able to find water, there may also be no food, or the food is too strong and the warriors cannot hunt; if it rains heavily, the weak clansmen and cubs may get sick from the rain all the time. …”

Bu was a little dizzy by Lige's words, this, this, this, is it so troublesome to travel far away? Don't you just take your weapons and food and just go straight away? What's more, they still have straw sandals now. bad feet.

Lige seemed to understand Bu's inner os, and deliberately asked him: "Then what do you think if it rains heavily halfway?"

This press conference: "Find a cave to shelter from the rain."

"What if there are no caves around?"

"This... In fact, our orcs have very strong physical fitness. A little rain is nothing at all. Even the weakest cubs will not be afraid of that rain." very confident.

Rigg didn't refute, and continued to ask: "Then when it rains, would you rather stay outside and soak in the rain, or hide in the cave and set a fire to warm yourself?"

"Of course it's warming up in the cave." Bu didn't think about it, and then he continued: "But isn't that our relocation, how can there be such good conditions for relocation, not only me, but all the people in the tribe are ready to endure hardships gone."

Seeing that Bu hadn't understood yet, Rieg patiently explained to him: "You're right, if only a few warriors go out to hunt, then of course they can let it go. After all, there will naturally be tribes and family members waiting for him after hunting."

"But this time is different. Once we go out, if there is no accident, we will not come back until we find the next place to stay. Without a clear goal, people are prone to burnout. This kind of Emotions can easily overwhelm people, and when the time comes, don’t find a new home, but lose all the people in the tribe on the way.”

"Although what you said is right, people in the tribe are not afraid of suffering and suffering, but that is a last resort choice when suffering is necessary. Isn't it stupid for someone to rush to endure hardship?"

"That—what you said makes sense." Bu thought for a while, and admitted that Rigg was right.

"However, how can we prevent the clansmen from having that, uh-burnout emotion you mentioned?" Boo slowly learned to understand Rigg's thinking and asked his own questions.
