Chapter 24 The British Tribe
Jin Mang felt that life was almost unbearable.
After a harsh winter and turbulent rains, the high temperature of nearly 50 degrees made all living things in Anze feel hot.
When the rain and flood had just disappeared, Jin Mang was happy for a few days, but the heat and drought that followed made her miserable.
Only then did she realize that the bottom of her cave was filled with thick bamboo tubes the size of rubber balls, and before she knew it, these bamboo tubes were filled with water.
But according to them, the water is reserved for consumption during migration.
Therefore, when drought first appeared and there was only a limited amount of water left on the river bed, Jin Mang had to follow his parents and start drinking dirty water.
The feeling of mud mixed with water entering the throat was so unspeakable that Jin Mang was forced to make a simple water purification filter.
Moreover, in order not to get sick, she also asked Qingfeng Qingsui to start drinking boiled water boiled with clam shells with her.
——At this time, creatures suffering from the plague have begun to appear. In fact, through Lanya's message, they know that humans have begun to suffer from the plague.
Jin Mang's limited medical knowledge told her that water sources are the largest channel for the spread of infectious diseases.
In recent days, the difficulty of hunting for their family has increased sharply. It was difficult to hunt a prey for almost three days, but they encountered the carcasses of animals that died of the plague every day.
According to Jin Mang's opinion, it is best not to eat these animal carcasses, but Qing Feng and Qing Sui do not think so.
Jin Mang originally thought that they didn't know that they might contract diseases by eating these dead animals, but that was not the case.
While handling these corpses, Qingsui said: "There is a chance of contracting the disease, but it is still relatively low. As long as it is not cannibalism, the chance of the plague being transmitted is not high. Even if it is really infected, as long as one's body is strong enough,
I can get through it.”
After a pause, "The most important thing is that at this time, we don't have any capital to waste. If we don't eat, we may starve to death. Although we may die of illness if we eat, we can at least live for a few more days."
"It's all death anyway."
Jin Mang was speechless,
However, Qing Feng added from the side: "You can't eat all the prey that died of the disease, and eat it with the prey that has no problem, otherwise the chance of getting sick will be small."
He glanced at Jin Mang and said, "You are still young, so I won't let you eat it."
Jin Mang didn't try to be brave. Children's resistance is weak. She couldn't make herself sick just to let her parents eat two more pieces of good meat.
When the waters in the territory were completely dry and the originally moist riverbeds were all replaced by dry and cracked soil, the tribal migration team that their family had been waiting for arrived.
Qingsui told Jin Mang that the name of their tribe is Youying, and the eldest elder now is her grandmother. Apart from Qingfeng and her nine brothers and sisters, the rest are all descendants of Qingsui's three sisters.
Jin Mang once asked curiously: "Have the children of aunt and uncle grown up? Otherwise, why didn't we see them when we went last time?"
"No, your aunt's youngest child is only 15 years old. However, when the cubs turn 12 years old, their parents will occupy a smaller territory for them in the spiritual territory and live a semi-independent life. Until the cubs reach adulthood,
When they encounter threats from powerful enemies, their parents will provide them with protection." After a pause, Qingsui looked at her and said, "But you are a girl, so you can stay in my and your father's territory for a few more years."
Girls are weaker than boys. Unless she is with brothers who form a family, her parents will not kick her out of the house when she is 12 years old.
At this time, the Youying tribe that came to their territory was already very large, and they looked mighty from a distance.
However, the first thing Jin Mang noticed was the huge creature surrounded by everyone.
That's a... it should be a car.
The huge square cuboid, judging from the color, is definitely made of iron-based wood. The size... Jin Mang estimated that the internal space is at least 20 cubic meters. Look at the wheels below...
Jin Mang was truly shocked!
It was different from any kind of wheels I had ever seen. The wheels of that car were spherical.
What was even more surprising was that the wheels of the car were not made of iron-based wood as I thought, but a material I had never seen before.
The material is a bit amber, but I don’t know if it is rubber. You have to touch it with your hands to find out.
After observing the car, Jin Mang shifted his gaze to look at the tribe members. Except for his uncle, aunt, and grandma, they all had unfamiliar faces, but their identities could be vaguely determined based on their age.
Grandma gave birth to a total of nine sons and three daughters. Her eldest aunt gave birth to four sons and three daughters. The two daughters gave birth to her children separately, giving her a granddaughter and two grandsons. The second aunt gave birth to five sons and two daughters, plus Qingsui’s golden child.
There are currently exactly 30 people in the Mang, Youying tribe.
At this time, a group of blood relatives couldn't care less about reminiscing about the past. Qingfeng Qingsui took out all the stored food from the cave and put them one by one into the grain truck.
Seeing that there was nearly half more food than other families, Lanya couldn't help but be surprised, "How come you have stored so much food?"
Others looked over with envy.
Jin Mang blinked and was confused. Not long after, she learned that although the tribes moved together when they migrated, the food reserves were not mixed together and they often ate their own food reserves.
Of course, at critical moments, if there is spare capacity, everyone will not hesitate to help each other.
However, if they have too much time to take care of themselves, they will not show excessive sympathy even to their relatives.
Qing Feng smiled and touched Jin Mang's head, "Thanks to Mang Mang, she taught us how to make potato powder." Before, they only taught Lan Ya how to make dried sweet potatoes and dried yam, so Lan Ya and the others did not find any
Too many potatoes.
Lan Ya didn't ask any further questions. He reached out and carried Jin Mang to the grain truck, and the group started to set off.
There were only seven children sitting on the grain cart with Jin Mang, except grandma, four of whom looked to be about the same age as Jin Mang, two children about six or seven years old, and one child about ten years old.
——Anze Human beings are used to reproducing after the splitting season, which usually comes every two or three years. Therefore, the age difference between their cubs is almost three years old.
Jin Mang looked down and saw thick ropes in front of the grain cart. The adult men of the tribe were pulling one rope each, like trackers, pulling the grain cart forward. The women were pushing the grain cart behind, and on both sides were
There are five and a half-year-old children, the eldest of them looks about seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest is barely 12 years old.
Grandma took Jin Mang into her arms and said softly: "Be good, gather up more strength while you can rest now. In the future...even if you are children, you will still have to work hard."
