Chapter 2 The Forsaken

Due to the terrain, those places will be safer during the snow season.

In order for the tribe to complete the migration quickly, every year before the migration, the tribe will abandon some old, weak, sick and disabled.

Old orcs were the first to be abandoned, followed by the seriously ill, followed by some infirm.

Originally, Wang Yue's current body was a little female, and according to the preciousness of females, she should not be given up.But she has been weak since she was a child, and was diagnosed as infertile by the witch doctor.

The greatest function of a female is to give birth. Since she is unable to give birth, she naturally becomes the object of the tribe's abandonment.

In fact, not all the old, weak, sick and disabled will be abandoned. As long as their families insist, they can still evacuate with the tribe.

It's just that these people who were judged as old, weak, sick and disabled by the patriarch and witch doctor can no longer participate in food distribution during the snow season.If they follow the tribe, food can only be provided by their family.

The tribe is dominated by public ownership. During the hot season, half of the food obtained from hunting or gathering needs to be given to the tribe for distribution, and the remaining half is privately owned.

In the snow season, the food obtained is not much. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of young people so that they can continue hunting and defend the tribe, the percentage of public food is reduced to 40.00%.

Since the current patriarch took office, this percentage has been falling all the way, and it reached 30.00% last year.

In fact, at the very beginning, many people would still choose to bring their elderly or sick family members.However, due to the lack of food and the severe cold, these old, weak, sick and disabled either died of typhoid fever or starvation.

Because young people are dragged down by these people, they can eat less food and are more prone to accidents when participating in hunting.Slowly, many people can only choose to give up their loved ones.Or they stay voluntarily, unwilling to be a drag.

Some old, weak, sick and disabled don't want to travel anymore, and it may be their best choice to die peacefully in the tribal base.

As early as many years ago, Wang Yue was almost abandoned.It's just that her father is the strongest orc male in the tribe, and her mother is also a female who is very good at collecting in the tribe. With their insistence, the tribe kept her.

Unfortunately, in a hunting not long ago, Abba was killed by wild animals in order to save the patriarch.Grandma was so sad that she ran out alone and never came back.

In Wang Yue's mind, he recalled the pretended helplessness of the patriarch when he came to visit him, and a sarcastic smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Her father saved the patriarch's life, but he had to abandon his only female daughter.He also pretended to say those words in an embarrassing way, so that she could forgive him.

She can understand the tribe's abandonment, after all, the natural law of survival is like this.For the survival of the race, some trade-offs had to be made.

But she couldn't accept the abandonment proposed by this hypocritical patriarch.She has seen through his hypocritical face a long time ago.

According to the memory of the owner of the body, Wang Yue clearly understood the character of the patriarch.

Speaking of which, the patriarch's father was the previous patriarch. At that time, his father was seriously injured before the tribe migrated. It was the patriarch who abandoned his father and got the position of the new patriarch.

Otherwise, in terms of strength, her father is the strongest orc in the tribe and the best candidate for the new patriarch.

I still remember that when my predecessor was younger, I overheard the scene where the patriarch talked to Abba overheard.

That man could be regarded as tearfully expressing the pain of abandoning his father, in order to make Abba give up the position of patriarch.

In addition, this person also has bad intentions for his predecessor's grandmother.Although there is no evidence, Wang Yue's intuition tells that both the father's accident and the grandmother's disappearance are likely to be related to the patriarch.

Wang Yue knew in her heart that even if she left with the tribe.As long as that person is there, she will die sooner or later.

She absolutely couldn't stay in the tribe any longer. It could be seen from the fact that she had been lying on the ground for three days, but no one cared about her.

According to the conversations of the people around, Wang Yue knew that the tribe would start to migrate tomorrow.There is still one and a half months before the snow season, and she needs to plan for herself.

Fortunately, it is still the hot season, which is the time when dangerous animals appear at least.Using what grandpa taught her, she should be able to get a lot of food.

Furthermore, she has a way to preserve food, and it is not impossible to hide in a safe place to survive the snow season.

Although the predecessor was weak, he didn't go out often.But when the tribal female goes to collect, she will still try to follow, so she basically knows the surrounding environment.

The orcs don't know many medicinal herbs and edible plants, but Wang Yue does.Most of the plants here are similar to those in the previous life, with only a few differences.Relying on what her grandfather taught her in her previous life, Wang Yue can roughly figure out whether food is harmful.

This is the active area of ​​the orcs, and there are generally no large wild beasts in the vicinity, and of course there are very few small wild beasts, which greatly increases the safety of her activities in the vicinity.

She is extremely weak now, and the most urgent thing is to find something to satisfy her hunger as soon as possible.And according to the memory in my mind, there is a row of wild jujube trees not far from the cave.

The wild jujube is opposite to the domestic jujube, and the size is generally only one-third of the domestic jujube.Wild jujube trees are generally shorter, but have many thorns.

At a time when all the colonies are stockpiling food, this kind of thing is particularly tasteless, so the females also let go of this row of lush wild jujube trees.

But for Wang Yue now, wild dates are her ideal choice.Because the only food she could think of that could be eaten immediately was those wild dates.

Under the surprised gazes of several people, Wang Yue stumbled towards the wild jujube tree.

The body was severely malnourished and had not eaten for several days. Wang Yue was afraid that he would fall down.

She was almost certain that if she fell, she might actually die.In this situation, no one will save her, and this extremely exhausted body will no longer have the strength to stand up.

Gritting her teeth and holding back her energy, Wang Yue finally walked to the side of the wild jujube bush.

The slender body worked around the wild jujube tree for a while, and after picking the wild jujube, it was sent to his mouth.Most of the wild dates are not yet fully ripe, and the taste is slightly sour, but to Wang Yue at the moment, it is extremely delicious.

Wang Yue picked a lot of wild dates, and when he was full, he wrapped the rest in leaves and put them aside.

Although it was a wild jujube without nutrition, it made Wang Yue feel more comfortable and energetic after all.

Noticing that there are herbs that can stop bleeding and accelerate wound healing not far away, Wang Yue walked over slowly and pulled out a few, chewed them in his mouth, and then applied them on the skin injured by the wild jujube tree.

Wang Yue frowned in pain, gritted her teeth and tightly covered the herb on the wound.This herb will make people feel extra stinging when it goes up at first, but it will relieve after a while.

Feeling that the tingling was no longer so strong, Wang Yue sat down.The terrain here is shady and cool, and the cool wind blows on the face to dissipate the heat.Wang Yue simply closed his eyes and took a nap.

When Wang Yue woke up, it was almost dark.Slapping off the dried herbs on his arm, Wang Yue picked up a piece of dry firewood as a crutch, and slowly walked towards the cave where he stayed before.

Tomorrow the tribe will migrate, and if you want to follow the tribe, you will naturally stay with everyone.Family members are also packing to see what else they can bring.Even those who were about to be abandoned stayed in the cave at this time, saying their final goodbyes to their loved ones.
