Chapter 594: The Tiger Roars in the Middle of the Night
In the snow, there was a long queue.
This team consists of a lot of deer, as well as people.
Unlike the free-running and walking deer of this era, most of these deer were pulling a wooden rack, some were climbing on top of the plow, and they were still sitting and walking.
Mao sat on one of the climbing plows, and if he sat still, people could move forward, and this way of travel made Mao extremely rare and curious like a child.
In fact, before traveling, the trade was ready to endure hardships and cold.
Before the snow melted, he took people out to trade with goods, and he did it more than once when he didn't join the Qingque tribe.
It is certain that the harvest will be sufficient, but it is also true that the sin will be suffered.
Some people in the tribe froze their toes after such a trip.
This is not the most sinful, the most sinful thing is that sometimes after walking for a long time, the eyes will become red and swollen, and they will always cry, and sometimes they will not be able to see clearly.
He was ready to endure these hardships again, but after following the team out, he found that things were completely different from what he thought.
Freezing off their toes won't happen anymore because they're wearing thick fur socks on their feet and warm shoes on the outside.
The hats on their heads, the gloves on their hands, and the anti-freeze 'alabaster' protect their sensitive, cold-prone areas.
You don't have to carry things on your body, not to mention, you can sit on the climbing plow and let the deer pull it when you are tired.
As for walking for a long time, the eyes will become red, swollen and dry, it will not happen anymore.
Because before leaving, Miko gave each of them a gray-brown sackcloth to blindfold them.
At first, Mao didn't know the intentions of the Divine Son, and didn't understand why people should be covered with this kind of linen dyed with stinky mud.
Because after such a linen cloth is blindfolded, it is really not very comfortable to see things, which affects the vision.
However, after walking for a few days, this doubt disappeared completely, because his eyes were not as red and swollen as before.
This was not the most surprising thing for Mao, the most surprising thing for him was the snow room on top of the roof.
If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that these snow huts made of snow and tents would be so warm.
Recalling that when he took people out on a snowy day before, he just put hay and animal skins under his body and covered his body with animal skins and hay, and Mao felt cold and panicked now.
Compared with the current snow season, my previous behavior of leading people out is too simple.
As twilight fell, the team stopped.
The tent was erected, and the trade and the rest of the men skillfully piled snow on the tent.
The iron head and the others who came out quickly lit the fire with the firewood loaded in the climbing plow.
Some of this firewood was brought from the tribe when we set out, and the other part was the dead branches that we picked up in the snow during the walk.
This subtle act allows the tribe not to have to go through the hard work of searching for firewood after camping.
The vat was propped up, and the vat was stuffed with snow that could be found everywhere during the season.
Under the flame, a lot of warm water gradually boiled out.
Instead of using it first, the people of these warm water tribes put some salt in it and drank (yin four sounds, verbs) from the deer of the tribe.
Dozens of climbing plows gathered around, forming a circle to enclose the deer and the tents where the people lived.
After the warm hot soup drove away the chill on his body, it was getting dark.
On a snow-covered night, it won't be dark because the white snow will make the surroundings whiter.
A few people were left to keep vigil, and the rest went to sleep in the built snow hut cleanly.
Trade was scheduled to stay in the middle of the night tonight, so he was no slower than the rest of the people in the snow room.
Lying in the warm snow room, Mei Mei shook twice, changed a comfortable position, and after admiring the ease of use of the snow room for a while, Mao soon entered the dream.
There was silence all around, where the deer rested quietly, sometimes snorting.
The blessings who came out also lay down by the fire or snuggled up with the deer and began to sleep.
After spending a long time with people, the routines of these guys are obviously a little disordered.
By the fire, a few people who were keeping vigil sat quietly on the fire, and no one had the desire to speak.
Time passed by minute by second, and the silence continued, and just when everyone thought it would last, until dawn, the silence was unexpectedly interrupted.
A tiger roar interrupted this silence.
The tiger's roar appeared extremely abruptly, without the slightest warning.
The few people who sat there vigil were surprised, picked up the weapons they had at hand, protected them in front of them, and then looked around nervously with panic, looking for the source of the tiger's roar.
The quiet herd of deer also panicked at once, and many deer quickly rose from the ground and let out uneasy calls.
If it weren't for the fact that these deer had been in contact with people for a long time and were all tethered, they would have spread their hooves and scattered around.
Fu Jiang and his descendants felt threatened, these guys who were in the tribe and would be kicked in the ass by Han Dashenzi if they had nothing to do, but at this time they showed their hideous side.
One by one, they pressed their front paws to the ground, lowered their bodies, shrunk back slightly, the hair on their bodies stood up, and they let out a low demonstration cry towards the left rear of the makeshift camp.
"Get up! Get up! ”
Among the few people who were keeping vigil, someone reacted and shouted loudly for the sleeping crowd.
The people in the snow room were awakened one after another, and after a short period of confusion, the people who reacted began to quickly get out of it with weapons.
The tiger's cry continued, but not in that majestic manner, but with some misery.
The fierceness of the primitive man was evident at this time, and several of the night watchmen, after a brief panic, not only did not run around, but after identifying where the tiger was, they went there with their weapons in hand.
As soon as they moved away from the firelight, their vision became clearer and they could see farther away.
Not far from where the deer were, a small creature was rocking there, swaying and growling, and it looked like it was heading towards the outskirts of the camp.
Four night watchmen, one carrying a large shield and three carrying a long bronze ge, ran over.
For they remembered before it was dark when the chief led the men to pull a strong rope around the camp, and to insert long, sharpened bamboo thorns in the snow near the rope.
The tips of those bamboo thorns are all fried in large oil and are somewhat charred and black, and they are extremely sharp.
At this time, this guy obviously fell for the trick, otherwise he would not have exposed his whereabouts without pounceing on the prey.
The sneak attack failed, but the tiger was injured, and if he missed the blow, he had to endure the pain and flee quickly.
It turned out that something had already arrived behind me.
The guy turned his head and started roaring loudly, and he was trying to catch the guy who was coming over, trying to scare the damn monkeys away.
In the past, such an approach was unstoppable, and few animals dared to ignore its threatening posture.
But tonight was obviously different, and its threat not only did not deter the big monkeys who rushed to it, but the big monkeys also stabbed it with three sharp Changge......
The fire around the camp grew bigger, and next to the fire lay a large creature of some color similar to snow, with blood-stained fur.
Senior Brother and the others looked at this dead fierce guy, and at the same time, a strong sense of confidence also rose.
In the past, such big guys had always been hidden, but now, with the traps taught by the Divine Son, and the sharp bronze weapons, they can easily kill the existence that they didn't dare to provoke easily!
After looking at it for a while, the elder brother asked the blood stains to be covered with snow, so as not to attract other beasts.
It is true that they are strong now, but with enough food, the senior brother does not want to lead people to fight with too many fierce beasts, after all, the main purpose of their visit this time is to mine copper and tin ore.
However, the night was not destined to be too peaceful, and as soon as the commotion of the Tiger raid had subsided, a new danger had descended, much more terrible than the Tiger!
