Chapter 136 Homecoming

The return journey is more time-consuming and laborious than the outbound journey, and the heavy burden prevents them from walking fast for a long time.

The wizard was weak, and the hunters took good care of her, and only let her carry a small amount of things. Even so, Lin Yu was almost unable to hold on for a while, and the journey with the weight was still a rugged mountain road, which was very demanding on both physical strength and willpower. test.

"Give me some."

Seeing that she was sweating profusely and panting profusely, Zhang Tian was worried.

Lin Yu was so tired that she couldn't speak, she shook her head stubbornly, Zhang Tian's load was much heavier than hers, everyone was not easy, survival was not an easy task, she had already given up the idea of ​​pleasure.

Hunters treat themselves like cattle, with their bodies fully loaded and bundles of hides dragging in their hands.

Originally half a day's journey, they walked for a whole day before arriving at the camp.

Rest overnight and continue on the road the next day.

……

Those who stayed in the cave were keeping an eye out for when the hunter would return.From the moment it was first speculated that the hunter should return, the snake mother sent people to stand guard on the highest ridge nearby, and most of the attendants were children who were about to grow up.

This day it was Shedan's turn to take up the post. He was angry because he let Snakeberry sneak away and received stick education from his elders.

Before she left, Sheberry promised to give him her beautiful snake tooth jewelry. After being beaten up, Shemei was not satisfied, and thought that when Sheberry came back, she would renegotiate the price with her.

He stared at the vast distance very seriously. He was very focused at first, but he became bored after a while.

He is different from Snakeberry. Snakeberry can't sit still and often runs around the mountains and fields. He prefers to stay in a hole, polish bones and wood, and make them into various beautiful shapes.

His own mother is very troubled by this. She has three children, the first two of which are excellent. Seeing that the third child is about to grow up, she has not shown any interest or desire for hunting. She just messes with these useless things. up.

Shedan disagrees with his mother's opinion, he doesn't care whether it is useful or not, as long as it looks good to him.

Looking around, he could only see mountains and forests, but he could not see anyone back, so he took out an animal bone and a polishing tool from the folds of his coat, sat down cross-legged, and continued his unfinished business.

He polished the animal bones, and he was more focused than looking at the mountains and forests. He forgot about hunger and time, and he didn't notice that the long-distance hunter was returning and was gradually approaching him, until a clear call woke him up:
"Snake gall!"

The voice was all too familiar.

Shedan suddenly looked up, and saw Sheberry waving at him, and the dusty hunters almost climbed up the ridge.

The big python looked displeased, of course he knew that Snake Gall was on guard, and he had been watching hunters here when he was a child, but it was outrageous for this kid to openly fish.

He looked at the Sheberry next to him who didn't know what security was at all, and thought to himself that children nowadays are not as good as one generation after another...

Snake Dan jumped up immediately and ran towards the cave quickly.He must be the first to pass this news to the clansmen, which is the meaning of standing guard. If he goes back with the hunters, he will be beaten again.

"It's back! Boa and the others are back! Snakeberry is here too!"

He yelled and ran back to the cave, dancing with excitement.

After Sheberry slipped away, all members of the Shepi Tribe were worried about her, and now they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Sheberry had returned safely.

Everyone ran out of the cave to meet the triumphant hunters, and shared the burden on their shoulders, not only for the hunters of their own tribe, but also for the hunters of the big tree tribe and the big river tribe.

When the burden on her shoulders was lifted, Lin Yu, who had been relying on willpower to support herself, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the intense exhaustion that followed made her feel dizzy and almost unable to stand.

Zhang Tian supported her quickly with his eyes, and with the other hand, he took off the bamboo tube containing salt water hanging from his waist, and handed it to her slightly chapped lips. It was blame and half concern and said: "I have said not to be brave, we need your knowledge more than your physical strength."

Lin Yu was out of breath, and he didn't even have the strength to chew, but he still had the strength to speak hard: "I didn't... I didn't try to be brave, huh, look, didn't I do it?"

She grinned, her small face pale as snow.

Zhang Tian shook his head angrily, thinking that Dr. Lin's mouth would probably turn into a fossil after 1 years.

He supported Lin Yu, who was like a cartilaginous animal, back to the snakeskin tribe's cave.

When the sun sets, the setting sun dyes the gray and monotonous forest with some colorful colors.

The snake mother counted the heads according to the knots, and found that one person was missing. After asking, she found out that a hunter had been pierced by a bison and failed to survive.

She cut a knot with a complicated expression, threw it into the fire, and watched it until the flames swallowed it up.

The hunters unloaded their heavy bags, or lay down or sat against the wall, emptying their minds and gasping for breath. The tribesmen who stayed in the cave had already set up smoke racks, laughed and took out the abundant animal meat, hung them on the fire to smoke, The empty cave instantly turned into a sea of ​​flesh.

The women unroll the rolled fur one by one, scrape the fur with polished bones, and carefully remove every bit of meat and fat to prevent attracting scavenging insects from devouring the fur.

They went to the stream to clean the fur, then stretched it, and baked it by the fire. Before storing it, all the moisture must be dried, otherwise it would be easy to rot and deteriorate.

The same goes for the bladder and stomach, organs that are natural bags that are loved by all.

The bulging intestines are filled with snow-white solid fat. In the past, the intestines were used to store them, tied with knots, and painted with plant ash outside the intestines. It can be stored for a long time, but it is very inconvenient to take.

This time, they exchanged pottery pots with the Great River Tribe using animal tendons and horns. The convenience of using pottery as storage utensils is self-evident, and they are all looking forward to it.

Tomorrow, Hutou will take the hunters back to the camp to get the remaining animal meat. Zhang Tian, ​​Lin Yu and Xiao will go back to the Dahe Tribe with the women, and let the clansmen who stay in the cave come to carry them, and by the way, exchange the meat for the Sheskin Tribe. Pottery brought.

The women began to boil water and cook vegetables, the hunters gradually recovered, and the children were already sitting in a row, looking forward to hearing what they saw and heard at the tribal meeting.

But before that, Boa hasn't forgotten to clean up the snake berries.

He picked out sticks specially used to educate juniors, ranging from thin to thick, suitable for different degrees of punishment, and the mistake made by Snakeberry... He directly picked up the thickest stick, looked at Snakeberry, and raised the corner of his mouth A frightening arc.

Sheberry shuddered, and immediately threw herself in front of the snake mother, wailing, "Mother! I was wrong! I will never dare again!"

Mother Snake gently stroked her hair, showing a kind smile: "My good boy, as long as you keep your word, we will fight this time, and we will never fight again."
