Outside, the cold wind was cold, and the little head man hid in the middle of the sheep, still shivering.

This winter, it was too cold, and many cattle and sheep in Xiaotouman's tribe had frozen to death.

Although he is only fifteen years old now, he is very mature and deeply worried about the bad weather today.

The early arrival of the cold winter has caused the aquatic plants to wither prematurely, and the herbivores on the grassland are almost skinny with hunger.

The wolves outside the Seychelles were not very willing to attack the sheep raised by humans.

However, the living environment is too poor this year, and in order not to starve to death, they have also begun to take risks.

The attack of the wolves caused the tribe to lose a lot of lambs, and even three of the tribe's warriors were killed by hungry wolves.

The already poor life of the Sulu tribe has become more and more difficult because of the early arrival of the cold winter and the successive losses of the sheep.

"Baaa

Touman hugged a little lamb, and the two sides snuggled up to each other to keep warm.

It's a pity that the lamb was so hungry that he struggled desperately in Touman's arms to find the ewes to eat****** and Man was annoyed by the lamb and had to let the other party leave.

The little lamb found its mother, and beneath her searched for the source of the fresh milk, and wanted to feast on it.

"Baaa

However, due to the lack of water and weeds, the ewes are seriously undernourished, and ** is sucked by the lamb very painfully, and directly kicks it away with a hoof.

"Baaa

The little lamb screamed and let out a heart-rending cry.

Seeing this, Touman hurriedly stepped forward and held the little lamb in his arms, wanting to see if the other party had been injured.

"What can I do?"

Touman felt the cold and howling north wind, and then looked at the scrawny flock, his eyes full of worry.

If this development continues, many lambs without a supply of breast milk will not survive this cold winter.

Even many of these adult sheep may freeze to death due to malnutrition.

As a result, when the green grass sprouts tomorrow, the sheep will be much smaller, and it will be difficult to supply the tribe with the meat they need.

"Perhaps, there will be a lot of old people who will be abandoned."

Thinking of his elderly grandfather, the little head man's eyes flashed with worry.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

At this moment, the terrible wolf howl sounded from all directions, and Touman, who was holding the little lamb and thinking nonsense, suddenly changed his face.

"Woooooo

At the same time, the warriors of the Tsuba-tribe who were guarding and patrolling around also blew the sound of horns.

If it were the usual thing, when the horn sounded, the wolves would not dare to attack the sheep easily, and would probably be scared away.

But the cold winter makes the wolves hungry.

They are afraid, but the two-legged animals with strange weapons are even more afraid of hunger and death.

The lesser of two powers.

The wolves didn't know it, but they understood it.

They bypassed the horseback warriors and rushed straight into the middle of the flock

"Baaa

The sheep panicked and fled in all directions, but the little head man pulled out the bone knife at his waist and looked a little nervously for the best route to avoid the ferocious wolves.

He had no doubt that if he was targeted by wolves, his emaciated two-legged sheep would definitely become a target for them.

When sheep enter the wolf pack, the fate can be imagined.

The speed of the sheep raised by humans is not comparable to that of wild animals, and they do not have the slightest attack power.

The most important thing is that the hungry wolves do not provoke the adult sheep and pick the lambs to attack.

Basically, as long as the lamb is targeted by the wolf, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Not long after the wolves rushed into the flock, most of the lambs had been bitten to death.

"Chirp!"

At the same time, the scattered warriors finally arrived, shouting in anger and firing arrows of hatred at the hateful wolves.

It has to be said that these warriors are all good at riding and shooting.

However, the wolves on the grassland have long been told to these two-legged sheep, and they are not so easy to deal with.

They hold their prey in their mouths, chase the fleeing flocks, and use the flocks as their cover.

Many of the arrows shot by the warriors of the Zodiac killed the people who were running.

Of course, when the wolves attack the sheep, they will naturally pay a heavy price, and the six hungry wolves who could not escape were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, even if they were not killed on the spot, the fate can be imagined.

Touman mingled with the flock, trying to avoid the wolves.

"Baaa

Suddenly, a leopard popped out of the withered grass and bit an adult sheep with great precision, and the sheep bleated and screamed, but soon lost its vitality.

Touman followed the sheep, frightened by the sudden scene.

If the leopard's target was himself, Touman's throat would have been bitten by sharp teeth.

For the tribes of the steppe.

Not only do they have to deal with the cold winter, but they also have to deal with the carnivores who are desperate to take risks because of the cold and hunger.

Today's northern grasslands are not like those of later generations, where large carnivores are almost all about to disappear.

In the age of cold weapons, carnivores were ferocious and terrifying, and even though humans dominated the world, in some ways, they were still afraid of the ferocity of large carnivores.

They were so anxious that even humans dared to attack, and if there was no sheep as a prey, Touman would have been bitten to death by a leopard.

This sudden attack caused more than seventy percent of the lambs in the flock that Touman cared for.

As for the adult sheep, they lose less because they are used as a secondary target by carnivores.

Even so, many of the adult sheep ran away and were caught by the rest of the large carnivores that lurked.

When this unbearable loss was confirmed, the entire tribe was filled with a strange and restless mood.

Although, the flock that Touman takes care of is only a part of the many flocks of the tribe.

Touman is not the only sheep that can be attacked.

And as the cold winter continues, the attacks of carnivores will become more frequent, and the tribe will only lose more and more unless they keep their sheep in captivity.

But as a result, many sheep will starve to death.

How to spend this winter?

This issue is already related to the life and death of the Sulu tribe, and everyone must consider it carefully.

As for Xiao Touman, he was severely punished at this time, and he had no time to take care of the choices of adults.

Even if this attack, Touman couldn't do anything, and in the face of such a big loss, he would still be held responsible.

On the grassland, if you don't raise idlers, even if you are a child like Touman, you have to take your due responsibility.

When Touman covered his aching buttocks and returned home, he found that his father, who had always talked a lot, seemed to be a little silent.

He turned his head to look at the empty house, and saw no figure of his grandfather, as if he understood something.
