"The low fertility rate must be related to the environment and living habits. Is it possible that it is related to our living environment? Because we live in a cave and never see sunlight all year round, it will cause harm to the body, especially to women," said Mu Bei.
The leader asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? Is there any basis for this?"
Mu Bei explained: "You see the wild beasts or fierce beasts outside, they all have the habit of basking in the sun, they will not stay in dark places for a long time, and snakes like dark and humid places, they also like to bask in the sun.
We live in caves for a long time. Women and old people hardly see the sun. Our tribe has a short life span, which may be related to living in caves for a long time. "
Everyone was in deep thought, "Wu, chief, I feel that Bei is right. Do you still remember Ju's wife? Her tribe lives on the mountain in the middle of the lake, and they all live outside." Mao said.
Mao continued, "Ju's wife has given birth to five children and is still able to have children. She got pregnant again some time ago."
It was also the first time for Mu Bei to hear about the tribe outside. He was very curious and wanted to ask, but he saw that the witch and the chief were in deep thought, so he didn't want to disturb them. The chief looked at the witch and said, "Wu, this is very likely. I thought about it. Those who live outside and marry into our tribe can all give birth, but those in our tribe rarely give birth, and some don't even have children."
"It should be related to her physical condition. Sang trained to become a totem warrior, so she was in good health and gave birth to three. The others only gave birth to one at most."
The witch was still thinking. "If the population of a tribe cannot keep up, it can only be strong for one generation, and the next generation will still wither. With a population, we will have more qualified tribesmen. Only then can our tribe develop. Otherwise, the tribe will be buried in history over time." Mu Bei said.
"Call all the totem warriors to a meeting to discuss the relocation of the tribe." Wu made a prompt decision. Mu Bei didn't expect Wu to be so decisive and start discussing the relocation right away.
"Wu, why don't we study first to see if there is a suitable living environment? If we discuss it now, people's hearts will be unstable and it will easily cause riots." The leader said hurriedly.
Wu Dao: "We need them to be prepared. The relocation has been confirmed. We are notifying them now so that they can have some time to calm down. I don't know how many generations have lived here. Especially some of the elderly have deep feelings for this place. If they are asked to relocate suddenly, it will be difficult for them to accept it for a while."
"As long as we explain it clearly to the elders, they should be able to understand the interests involved. After all, they have fought for the tribe all their lives and hope that the tribe will be strong. The captains know the surrounding terrain best, so let them analyze where it is more suitable for living. Once the location is determined, conduct on-site confirmation and inspection after the spring. Then the captain will reveal it to the team members, and let the tribe members slowly accept it." Mu Bei stepped forward and said.
Wu Dao said: "Let's discuss it according to Bei's method. After we determine the location, we will tell the team members to reveal it to the tribe. This way, they can get the news in advance."
Soon the leader called together the three captains of the tribe, Li, Mao, and Yong. Yong did not come, but two deputy captains came. Everyone still discussed the terrain and location, and everyone gave suggestions on the location and terrain that was most suitable for the tribe to live in.
Mu Bei and Wu were listening to people talking about the location and terrain. They all felt similar, and there was no perfect place.
"You have to consider development. Safety is the most important thing when relocating, but development is the main purpose of relocation," Wu said.
The few of them started a new round of discussion, but the final result did not satisfy Wu.
"Can I talk to you about Wu?" Mu Bei asked.
Everyone was very curious about what Mu Bei would say, because Mu Bei had been out hunting for a very short time and certainly didn't know much about the terrain.
"Now is the discussion time, anyone can speak." Wu said.
Mu Bei said: "Do you remember the big hunt in the western plains some time ago? The wolf pack was hunted on the mountain of our third camp. I saw the terrain of that mountain at that time. The shape of the mountain is very strange. Many of them seem to be cut. The cliffs are very smooth, and the surrounding mountains are also like that. It just happens to form a huge valley with streams flowing in the valley. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The mountains are all cliffs. Not to mention wild beasts or fierce beasts, even humans find it difficult to climb.
The cliffs around us are natural barriers. Although the terrain was too foggy to see at the bottom of the mountain, even if the terrain is not good, it can still be lived in after transformation. Another point is that the valley is large enough. We can raise herbivorous beasts so that we don't have to worry about food shortages during the winter. We can also plant crops, and the women in our tribe can help grow vegetarian food. And the most important point is that it is very close to the western plains, and the species there are also very rich. "
"You said it yourself, how can we get in when there are cliffs on all sides?" Li asked in confusion. Everyone looked at him like he was a fool.
Mu Bei also covered his forehead. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he asked in confusion: "Did I say anything wrong?!"
"Bei, were you considering the issue of relocating the tribe at that time? I saw you constantly looking at Tianyu Mountain?" the leader asked. Everyone looked at Mu Bei.
"At that time, I thought the mountain was unique. I also thought that if the tribe wanted to develop, the cave would definitely not work because it would restrict us from looking up at the sky and would hinder our development. So I thought that Tianyu Mountain would be a good place for the development of the tribe." Mu Bei explained.
The others were much more familiar with Tianyu Mountain than Mu Bei, so they described to Wu the terrain, environment and species surrounding Tianyu Mountain.
The witch finally decided to conduct an on-site investigation of Tianyu Mountain in the early spring of next year. If it was suitable, they would start to sweep the road leading to Tianyu Mountain. After all, there were young children, women and the elderly in the tribe. If an accident occurred, the hunting team would not be able to escape.
Mu Bei stood in front of the hall door and saw snowflakes starting to fall outside. The wind had become bone-chillingly cold. Mu Bei estimated that it was about minus 20 degrees Celsius now. The temperature would drop a lot every day. A blizzard was about to come. The tribe had sufficient supplies this year.
"Second brother, why haven't you gone back yet? Why are you standing here?" Rong's voice sounded behind him.
"Little sister, you're back from exercise. I was just about to call you for dinner, but when I passed by here, I saw that it was snowing outside, so I stopped for a moment."
"Brother, what's so good about snowflakes? It's just cold. We can't even go out hunting. There's nothing good about winter."
"Hahaha, you hated winter because you were afraid of hunger when you were a child. Have you ever thought that winter is a chance for the weak in the forest? They can rest and recuperate in winter. They don't have to worry about hunters hunting them all the time."
"Besides, our tribe is getting stronger and stronger, and we won't be hungry anymore. I'll take you to build a snowman tomorrow."
"Brother, what is a snowman? Oh, brother, can you give me one of those marrow-cleansing fruits?" "Why do you want to eat the marrow-cleansing fruit? It's still in the experimental stage."
"Now many people are saying that although Captain Yong is lying in bed, his facial skin has become very good and he looks ten years younger."
