Due to Leo's strong physique, he naturally had the most food. Moreover, Zach had always been willing to give food to the other beastmen. Hence, when Mose spoke, Leo took the lead and shared his food with the other beastmen.
However, there were many beastmen in the tribe who did not have enough food. Leo was the only one. Even if he gave everyone some food, there was still a lot left. It was like pouring a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood.
Moreover, because all the beastmen in the Spiritual Tiger Tribe were willing to share their prey with the other beastmen, the other beastmen were already used to others giving them food. Hence, they were not as grateful as they were at the beginning.
Leo's food was limited. When he realized that if he continued to share his food with the other beastmen, he and Zhang Xiaoyu would not be able to survive the long winter, he did not share his food with them.
The other beastmen had been raised by Zach to the point that they took it for granted that others would give them food.
When Leo gave him food, they might be grateful, but more often than not, they took it for granted. After all, Zach had given them food, and Leo was Zach's son. Wasn't it normal for him to give him food?
Now, after Leo gave them some food, he told them that he did not have enough food. He would not give them any more food in the future. The beastmen instantly turned hostile.
Some even went to Leo's door to question him. What do you mean by that? You said you would give us food before, but now you won't give us any. Do you want to see us starve to death?
As the saying goes, 'Dou Mi is benevolent, Mi is vengeful'.
Leo did not expect that the beastmen who had been so polite to him and even smiled gratefully at him would turn hostile when they heard that he would not continue to give them food. He was stunned.
What shocked Leo was not only that the beastmen were scolding him in front of him. Many of the beastmen who knew that Leo would never give them food began to tarnish Leo's reputation. They even dragged Zach into it. They said that Zach's health was so good. How could he die just like that?
Perhaps it was because of Leo, the unfilial son.
The Spiritual Tiger Tribe already had a deep grudge against Leo because of Zach's death. Now that the beastmen mentioned Zach, they naturally hit the nail on the head. Leo was instantly short of breath.
Even if Leo didn't want to give it to him, he could only force himself to do so.
It was just that when he gave it to them previously, those orcs might still have some gratitude, but now, there was none at all.
Not only were they not grateful to Leo for providing them with food, but they were full of resentment. Who asked Leo to provoke them?
Leo was the one who contributed the most, but he was also the one who was least appreciated.
Moreover, because these Beastmen were old Beastmen and had made great contributions to the tribe, they all said that Leo wasn't a good person. Even if some people felt that Leo wasn't a bad person, when three people were a tiger, they also felt that Leo wasn't a good person.
After all, if Leo was really good, why would so many people say bad things about him?
What made Leo feel worse than being ostracized by the people in the tribe was Zhang Xiaoyu's disgust.
This was because Leo had been sending out the meat they had stored, and even the jerky that Zhang Xiaoyu had specially made for them. Zhang Xiaoyu had been talking about it in the beginning, but now she had turned hostile. Now, it was clear that she was being ostracized.
For the first time, Zhang Xiaoyu felt that she hated someone so much.
She used to think that although Leo's brain wasn't very good, and his temper wasn't very good, he was the son of the chief of the tribe, and could enjoy the shade of a big tree.
However, there was no tree in the world that wouldn't fall. After Zach died, Leo, who used to rely on Zach, instantly showed his true colors.
Without Zach as a lubricant in the tribe, Leo was really the target of everyone's disdain.
Of course, Zhang Xiaoyu had long planned to make Mose her next food coupon, so she didn't have much attachment to Leo. What made Zhang Xiaoyu unhappy was that Leo had infringed on her interests.
Leo had actually given away the food she had stored for her.
After Zhang Xiaoyu said it was useless a few times, she directly said that if Leo continued to be like this, then she would have to separate from him. She couldn't stay with a male who couldn't provide food and clothing for his female.
Previously, Zhang Xiaoyu had argued with him, but Leo didn't take it to heart. However, when Zhang Xiaoyu told him that if he continued to be like this, she would have to separate from him, Leo was instantly stunned.
Beastmen were monogamous, and once they recognized someone, it would be for life. Hearing Zhang Xiaoyu's words of breaking up, Leo was silent for a moment, and then said that he would think of a way.
Leo really liked Zhang Xiaoyu, and he didn't want to separate from her. After thinking for a long time, he went to find Mose, hoping that Mose could help him think of a way.
Leo and Mose were very good friends, and now that Mose was the chief of the tribe, Mose should be willing to help him solve the food problem of those old beastmen.
However, Leo had just started when Mose's brows furrowed, and his handsome face was filled with embarrassment. After a long time, he pursed his lips and said to Leo in a low voice, "Leo, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I can't help you with this matter."
Mose said with an embarrassed expression, "Our tribe has been fighting with the neighboring tribe this year, and we just had a new chief a while ago, so the entire tribe doesn't have much food. I want to give those old people food, but I really don't have the ability. You should know that our tribe doesn't only have those old beastmen, but also females and cubs. I can't starve the females and cubs to death for those old beastmen. "
No matter which tribe, females and cubs were the most important. Even if there wasn't much food, they had to ensure the survival of the females and cubs.
Because the females and cubs were the future and hope of the tribe.
Now that Mose mentioned the females and cubs, Leo instantly fell silent. Even he couldn't make Mose give up on the females and cubs to help those old beastmen.
However, Leo couldn't just watch those old beastmen die. Moreover, when he thought of how difficult those old beastmen were to deal with, Leo felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
Just as Leo was thinking about how to solve this problem, Mose pointed out a path for him, saying that it wasn't snowing yet. If Leo wasn't afraid of hardship, he could go to the edge of the forest and see if he could find some prey that was out looking for food.
Mose's suggestion wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.
However, Leo, who had been forced into a corner, inexplicably nodded in agreement after hearing Mose's suggestion.
