Chapter 104 Is This Okay?
Lin Yun frowned. If they were really living well, they wouldn't be like this now. They were just repaying a favor for a full meal. Thinking of this, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel sad. They used to wander around, but they were not like this now.
"I..." He was interrupted before he finished speaking, "Boss, don't say anything. We are relieved to know that you are doing well. We will come back to see you when we have the chance." Erhu said quickly. The others had the same attitude. Who would want to be like a floating duckweed when they can settle down?
Ashu opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he could go to his sister to find a way to get them to join the tribe, but he couldn't always bother his sister. He had already caused her a lot of trouble. Even though she was a goddess, it would be difficult for her to let so many people join the tribe.
"Erhu, I will give you all the food after we divide it later." Ashu said quickly, and Xiaobai and the others also said quickly, "Yes, we will give you all the food later." Although there was not much, it could at least fill their stomachs and not be so hungry.
Erhu did not refuse, tears welled up in his eyes, he understood their intentions.
Lin Yun sighed, "Where are you going?"
"We found a cave and will go back later." If they hadn't found food, they wouldn't want to come out, but they couldn't starve to death. They didn't know why it was so hard to find food this winter. Although there were fewer prey in the past, they could always find some to deal with. This time, they could only find a little prey every few days, which could barely fill their stomachs, but most of the time they were hungry.
Now that they have a full meal, they can hold on for a few more days. They can always get through it, and it will be fine after the winter is over.
Lin Yun knew this was not a solution, but he had just joined the tribe not long ago, and he didn't save much food himself, so he couldn't do anything even if he wanted to help them.
"When are you going to hunt?" Except for checking the traps every few days to see if there are prey, the tribe is idle at other times. He can use this time to be with them. He is their boss. Even if they leave, he can't bear to see them like this now. Moreover, they have never done anything to let him down before, so it is even more impossible for him to stand by and watch.
And he also hopes that the brothers who followed him before can be well, instead of not even having food to eat like now.
Erhu knew what he meant and said anxiously, "Boss, we can do it..." The boss finally had a stable life, and he couldn't let them ruin his life.
"You don't have to worry about it. The witch doctor won't say anything." Lin Yun said lightly. In these days of getting along, he could see that the witch doctor was a cold-hearted person. Although she said that she didn't like wandering savages, it was because they had been hurt. If they really met someone in need of help, they would still lend a hand, but their attitude would not be good.
And they have joined the tribe for so long, and the witch doctor has never embarrassed them, but took good care of them.
As long as he didn't delay what needed to be done, the witch doctor wouldn't say anything even if he went to help them hunt.
Erhu hesitated for a moment before telling him their plan. They were going to hunt tomorrow. They didn't go today because they were too hungry to go. If they encountered wolves or tigers while hunting, they would be sending themselves to death.
They originally wanted to come to the White Tiger Tribe to get some food to replenish their physical strength, so that they wouldn't lose their lives because of lack of strength when they went hunting tomorrow, but they didn't expect to meet the boss and his men.
If they hadn't left at the beginning, would they not have to wander around like the boss now?
By the way, he just saw them coming back with a bear. Could it be that they went hunting too? Thinking of this, Erhu asked the same question.
Without waiting for Lin Yun to say anything, Xiaobai and the others had already talked one after another. Erhu was stunned after listening, with only one thought in his mind, is this okay?
"Tomorrow I will go with you to dig a few traps. We can catch a few rabbits, not to mention big animals. Let's get through this winter first." Lin Yun sighed inwardly. He really didn't expect that they would end up like this after leaving.
"Okay." Erhu agreed quickly, and the others were also full of joy, as if nothing could be done as long as he was there.
"Goddess, should we keep them?" The witch doctor also heard what they said, and quietly walked to the side with Shen Xiaoxiao and whispered.
She didn't expect that they had reached this point, but she didn't ask Lin Yun to help them stay. Originally, she had a good impression of them because they had helped the tribe, and now the impression was even better.
But she couldn't make up her mind to let them stay. After all, there were more than a dozen people, and food and accommodation were problems. Even if they could squeeze together, there was only so much food in the tribe. With more than a dozen mouths, the pressure on food would definitely be great. Moreover, it was not even halfway through winter, and with more than a dozen people, she was afraid that there would not be enough food in the end.
Although the goddess led them to find many mushrooms before the winter came, she was their witch and had to consider the overall situation instead of making a random decision, which might harm the entire tribe.
Shen Xiaoxiao also fell into deep thought and said, "What do you think?"
"If possible, I would naturally want to keep the people." There are more than a dozen males in the tribe, and others naturally dare not easily provoke them again, but it is not a simple matter to let people stay, and all aspects must be considered, so she is entangled.
If one or two people stay, they will stay, but with more than a dozen people, she has to think more.
If it was before winter, she would have kept them without saying anything, but now, the food in the tribe is decreasing day by day. Even if they can bring back some prey occasionally, they still rely on stored food in general.
"Is there enough food in the tribe? I mean, will it be enough after they join?"
The witch doctor thought for a while and said, "It will be enough if we tighten up, but in this way, we will eat much less, and I am worried that others will have opinions." This is the main reason. After all, no one wants others to share their food.
If they say that they have to live frugally because of their joining, others will definitely have opinions. Even if they don't say it at the beginning, they will definitely blame Erhu and others for this when the food is decreasing day by day.
Shen Xiaoxiao also understands the witch doctor's concerns. She has some extra food, but it can't help so many people, and she also needs to save some food for emergencies.
"If they also set traps to catch prey, the pressure on the tribe will be much less, and I think they will not just eat and not work."
The witch doctor's eyes lit up, "Goddess, do you agree to let them stay?"
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Although there are many males in the tribe, the strength of the tribe will be stronger with them. Even if others want to bully us, they have to think twice."
The witch doctor immediately thought of the tribe being robbed openly not long ago, and made a decision in an instant, stay, they must stay.
