After a long time, the thief raised his head and said, "I'm fine, everyone has been frightened a lot today, let's see if we can find a relatively complete crockpot, let's make something for everyone to eat." ”

Ah Zai shook his head: "It's gone, the crockpots were all in the logistics department before, and now they're all gone." It's not just the crockpots, our bowls are gone. ”

Ji Thief said angrily to himself: "Then eat barbecue, won't you deal with the problem yourself? Don't ask me everything, if I were so powerful, I wouldn't be like this!"

Everyone saw that the thief was not in a good mood, and they all shrank their necks and did not dare to speak.

Xue listened to the thief's words, and pulled him to persuade: "Warrior, don't be angry, this matter has nothing to do with you today." ”

"Why not?" if I could have thought of the cause of the problem when those animals had an unusual reaction at the beginning. Let everyone move everything out, and things won't turn out like this at all! Okay, stop talking, you don't understand anything at all. ”

The words fell, and Xue looked at Ji Thief blankly.

Seeing this, the thief was annoyed for a while, and said to himself what was wrong.

He raised his hand and snapped, slapped his head, and then lowered his head and apologized to Xue: "I'm sorry for the snow, I'm too excited, I, I don't mean anything else, I, I'm just, I'm just, alas..."

As he spoke, the thief sighed.

Seeing this, Xue hurriedly shook her head and hurriedly said, "No, warrior, I have a relationship with you, it's all my mouth." ”

Ah Liang and the others also persuaded on the side: "Yes, patriarch, don't blame yourself like this. This really has nothing to do with you, there have been several vibrations like this in large mountains before, and besides, didn't you say that it's the worst thing to be angry or something, hurt others and hurt yourself, everyone doesn't blame you, really. ”

"Why didn't you talk to me... Wait a minute, what did you just say?" was about to retort when the thief suddenly reacted to something and hurriedly asked.

"What?" Aryan was puzzled.

Ji Thief said: "Just now, a large mountain range also wanted to be like this today?"

Ah Liang said: "Yes, I remember it several times. Besides, Patriarch, have you forgotten the old Black Mountain tribes, the valley where they first lived was because of the earthquake. ”

Only then did the thief remember when the Black Mountain tribe was flooded before, it seemed that Ah Niu had told him about it. But what does Ah Liang mean when he says that large areas of the mountain range have been earthquaked several times?

So, he asked, "Are the times you said the same as today?"

Before Ah Liang could answer, Usma said to the side: "Ah Liang said this, I remember, it was like this several times before, at that time, the earth was shaking, and many people died in large mountain ranges, you know, there were thousands of people in the large mountain ranges before. ”

Ji Thief hissed, "So you mean that there have been more than one earthquake in the large mountain range before?"

"Earthquake?"

"That's what it is today. Ji Thief said.

Ah Ju nodded and said, "I remember having it once when I was a child, and it was about the same as today. At that time, there were still a lot of people in the Maple Valley tribe, almost four or five hundred, but because of the earthquake you said, the patriarch, most of them died, and then there were several earthquakes, and slowly, the Maple Valley tribe became the worst tribe in the large mountain range. ”

Ah Zai looked at Ah Ju in a daze: "Why don't I know?"

Ah Ju rolled his eyes: "Not at that time." ”

The thief asked, "Are earthquakes frequent?"

Everyone thought for a while: "It's all once in a while." ”

"How long?"

People look at me, I look at me.

Usma said: "We don't know the specifics, but the last time it was like this, it seems to be, well, I calculated, at least six or seven hundred days have passed." ”

"That's two years?"

Everyone nodded.

Ji Thief frowned and thought about it, two years, it is not long, it is not short.

"Hasn't it been once in a long time before?"

"There are long and short ones. Ah Ju replied.

Among the people, he is also the oldest, of course, Usma is not counted, he just looks old.

"I don't remember the longest time, but I remember it was after the sixth snowy day, and it was suddenly like today. ”

"That's six years, what about the shortest?

Ji Thief asked.

"This time it's the shortest. ”

Ah Ju's words fell, and Ji Thief's brows furrowed even deeper.

Earthquakes are separated by a maximum of six years and a minimum of two years, and there have been earthquakes in large areas of the mountain range more than once.

"What are you thinking, Patriarch?" asked everyone.

"No, it's nothing, let's handle the food first and let everyone fill their stomachs, and then rest early. Ji Thief said.

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at it, and they all asked, "But the patriarch, where are you going to rest?"

Just this sentence, he directly asked the thief.

All the caves in the valley have been buried, and there is no place for everyone to live in the huge valley.

Thinking in his heart, the thief couldn't help but feel a little concerned.

"After eating, everyone will stay overnight and wait for tomorrow. ”

Ji thief said.

Everyone nodded and did as the thief had instructed.

After eating the barbecue, Ah Qi's medical department simply dealt with the injured clansmen, and then everyone rested.

In the valley after the earthquake, under the moonlit night, Ji Thief looked at the moon in the sky with his hands on his pillow.

Earthquake...

Ji Thief knew very well in his heart how destructive the earthquake was.

Even modern societies with highly developed science and technology are powerless in the event of an earthquake, let alone the more backward ancient societies.

According to Ah Ju, the longest is six years, and the shortest is two years, who can withstand this?

The thief didn't want the tribe he had worked so hard to build up to be invaded by an earthquake, destroyed in one fell swoop, and then start all over again.

No, at least something has to be done.

What if you would persuade everyone to go to the plains outside the valley and establish a tribe?

In that case, if an earthquake occurs, the damage can be minimized.

No, if the tribe is placed outside the valley, then it will take more manpower to guard against the attack of the beasts on weekdays.

Moreover, once a war starts with other tribes, there is no danger to defend at all, and at that time, no matter how many people the Lihuo tribe is, they will not be able to escape the fate of defeat and destruction.

But then again, safety in the valley is safe, but once an earthquake occurs, the loss is irreparable.

Fortunately, this time it was an earthquake that happened during the day, and everyone was only injured, and there was no loss of life. But what if it's at night when everyone is resting? Wouldn't that bury everyone alive in the cave?

"Warrior, aren't you asleep yet?"

Just when the thief was thinking about the problem, the snow that was sleeping next to the thief suddenly made a sound.

The thief came back to her senses, turned her head to follow the sound, and saw that Xue was lying on the grass, looking at herself with a pair of eyes open, and while watching, her eyes couldn't stop crying.

Immediately, Ji Thief panicked: "It's not snow, what's wrong? Why are you crying? Is there something wronged?"

Xue shook her head: "No warrior, I have no grievances, I just feel sad when I think that I will almost not see a warrior today." ”

Ji Thief stretched out his arm and grabbed Xue's palm, and said in as soft a tone as possible: "Silly girl, aren't I fine." ”

Snow reached out to wipe away her tears: "Hmm." ”

Ji Thief hesitated, moved his body towards the snow, then took the snow into his arms, patted her on the back and said, "Okay, go to sleep, tomorrow morning, I have to clean up the tribe." ”

Xue Wenyan, who just struggled for a while, immediately became well-behaved, nodded, hummed softly, and carefully pillowed in the crook of Ji Thief's arm.

The thief looked up at the sky, and under the moonlight, he slowly went out.

The next day, before dawn, he was awake.

Seeing that the snow in his arms was still sleeping, Ji Thief gently pulled out his arm, and then lay down the snow before sitting up.

"Patriarch!"

Just when the thief had just finished doing this, a dull voice suddenly sounded, which startled the thief so much that his heart almost didn't jump out.
