Chapter 97 The Snakeskin Tribe
When the group crossed the ridge on the west side of the cave, the rising sun had jumped out from the top of the mountain to the east, and the first dawn light illuminated the forest covering the hillside bright and golden.

Wolfclaw and Pine Cone took the lead in sprinting, almost twice as fast as the usual mountain patrolling and hunting. The young hunters of the Yougu tribe have been incorporated into the teams of the two tribes, and they behaved as naturally as their own tribe. The burden is not heavy, but I am not used to marching so fast, and I have to chase hard to keep up.

Everyone walked out of the usual hunting range and entered an area that was not often visited. At this time, the sun was still hanging low in the sky.

They will take a short detour to the neighboring snakeskin tribe. They will not hunt, gather or cook on the way. They will drink a few sips of water when they are thirsty, and eat some dried meat and nuts when they are hungry. can reach.

……

In this area where the grassland meets the forest, there are a total of nine tribes living. The ones closest to the grassland are the Yan, Youhu, and Cave Lion tribes, followed by the Snakeskin tribe.

From the cave of the snake skin tribe to the grassland, it only takes one day and one night to travel all the way.

There is a saying that far is fragrant and close is stinky, and the relationship between the snake skin tribe closest to those big tribes living in Caojingfang is the worst.

This is because whenever the hunting is not going well and the food is insufficient, the hunters of the Shepi tribe will secretly go to the grassland to hunt the large herbivores there. As long as they hunt one, it will be enough for the whole tribe to eat for three days.

In the eyes of the three big tribes, the grassland is their territory, and the animals living on the grassland are their prey only. Uninvited outsiders are a provocation and an invasion, which is tolerable and unbearable!

The reason why they have endured until now and have not expelled the Shepi Tribe from the "friend circle" is because the hunters of the Shepi Tribe are just like the name of their tribe. Although several large tribes found many suspected two-legged There are traces of hunting beasts, but they have not been able to grasp the current situation.

Just relying on some traces, it is not enough to convince the public to drive away a veteran tribe who has settled here for thousands of years.

But this does not affect the dissatisfaction of the big tribes with these "poachers".

Of course, the reason why the snake skin tribe is called the snake skin tribe is not because their hunters have a flexible body, but because their ancestors found a huge snake skin shed from a python in a cave when they lived here. It is a fetish, so it has this name.

The current chief of the Snakeskin tribe is an older woman named Snake Mother. When she was young, she gave birth to ten offspring and raised seven of them. The men in the tribe respect her very much, and the women adore her very much. , calling her "the mother who gave birth to the tribe".

"Mother, the maple leaves have fallen, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, the guests should come."

"The men are back?"

"No, I mean... the guests are coming!"

The snake tail is raised an octave.

The deaf snake mother finally understood. She knew that the hunters from the Big Tree Tribe and the Dahe Tribe were coming, because it was still on the way. These two tribes were used to staying with the Sheskin Tribe on the way to the valley camp. Night.

She recalled, and said, "I remember that there was a particularly strong hunter in the Great River Tribe..."

"Tiger head?"

"It seems to be such a name. You remember it clearly. Why didn't you conceive his child during the warm weather?"

"Oh! Don't mention it!" Shewei sighed and said, "Which woman doesn't run after a strong man? He is so strong, so naturally he was robbed by women. When it was my turn, he had already drilled through a dozen small The woods, it's all gone."

The snake mother sat up slightly, and murmured: "That strong boy... Indeed, if I were a few years younger, I would definitely squeeze him dry, and the child born would be white and fat."

The snake mother often tells women that the reason she can give birth to healthy and strong babies is purely because she has a good eye for picking men, and she has passed on her years of experience to younger generations in detail.

Shewei covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Mother is very young now!"

"No, if I have a good body like my mother, what is my age now? What's the point of having ten children! But I'm already old..." The snake mother waved her hand and said, "I'm so strong for such a strong boy. It’s no blessing to bear it, leave it to you young people!”

Mother Snake is very envious of Grandma's longevity. When she was a lively little girl, Grandma was already a highly respected woman. Now that she is old, she can no longer be alive. I saw Ahma last year in a cold weather. Mom, her old man is still in good health!It's really embarrassing.

However, although the snake mother does not live longer than Grandma, she is far more open than Grandma when it comes to sex education.

She grabbed Shewei's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said to the women who failed to conceive in warm weather: "Don't be discouraged, warm weather is the first to get there, isn't the opportunity now? Wait for the guests to come to your door , don't hesitate, attack boldly, and take down all the men you like!"

"Take it!"

The women swear loudly and morale is high.

There was a childish voice mixed in.

Shewei stared at Sheberry, and said with a straight face, "The adults are discussing the business, and the children who have not yet grown their hair go to the side to cool off!"

Sheberry laughed and said, "I also want to learn technology, so I can use it in the future, alas!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was forcefully driven away by the snake's tail.

"This kid is really getting more and more presumptuous."

Shewei returned to sit beside the snake mother.

Mother Snake smiled, and said, "Snakeberry is very like me back then. You should teach her well. When she grows up, she may become a mother who breeds a tribe."

Shewei and the women didn't expect their mother to think highly of that mischievous little girl so much, and they didn't expect their mother to be so naughty when they were young, so they agreed with a smile.

The snake mother asked, "How long have the men been away?"

"Three days."

"It should be back soon."

As soon as the words fell, a slightly excited shout sounded outside the cave: "Mother! We are back!"

Women and children immediately ran out to meet them.

The men returned by night and brought back two sturdy wild aurochs, which like to roam the grasslands at the edge of the forest. Every time the hunters of the Shepi tribe go hunting on the grasslands, they prefer this kind of aurochs with strong physiques. Huge, honest beast.

Now that there is a lack of prey in the forest, they basically have to go to the grassland every two or three days.

Seeing the hunters returning with full load, everyone was very excited.

Shewei asked: "Hasn't it been discovered?"

"How can it be!" Big Python was not without pride, "We have been doing this since we were young! When did we get caught?"

When it comes to guerrilla warfare, they are professionals.

"Having walked halfway, I realized that the maple leaves are all gone. The guests haven't arrived yet, right?"

"Nope!"

"That's just right. Let the two cows go tonight. After two days, when the guests come, there will be food and entertainment."

Just do what you say, the boa constrictor doesn't rest for a moment, and immediately calls the men to work.
