In the summer, the rain has increased significantly, and the floods have seriously affected the crops growing in the farmland, even in the summer country, and at the same time, the food war is intensifying, and in order to survive, human beings can only attack their own kind in order to obtain hope for life.

After the Night Bear Tribe was almost wiped out, the Japanese tribe camp obtained a batch of food, which was enough for all the tribes in the Japanese tribe camp to support this year's autumn harvest, but the day leader saw that there was a lot of rain this year, and he already knew that there would be a serious reduction in crop yield this year, and this year's food was available, so what should I do next year.

Unable to wait for a lack of food to find a way to solve it, the Japanese leader decided that it was possible to obtain more food reserves before the autumn harvest, just in case, the Japanese tribal camp opened its bloody mouth and bit at other tribes and even camps.

There are smart people in the Japanese tribal camp, thinking of a method similar to the fishing tribe, the Japanese tribal camp army presses the border, forcing the target tribe or camp to take out a part of the food, and if it is not taken out, it will start a war, and if it is taken out, the army will be withdrawn, and the Japanese tribal camp will not force the target to be urgent, and do not think about leaving all the food of the other party.

But for the sake of food, in order to keep their tribes alive, most of the targets chosen by the Japanese tribe camp took out weapons to defend the food, and only a few tribes chose to take out food.

The chaos in the outside world has little to do with the Xia Kingdom, which temporarily gave up trading with other tribes in terms of population, cattle and horses with the nomadic tribes on the grassland, and animal skins with other tribes, and these two transactions are still going on.

Because of the food war, some tribes can obtain a large number of animal skins, in fact, the Xia Kingdom did not trade many animal skins from these tribes, these tribes mostly leave the animal skins for their own use, the cold winter in recent years makes them remember it vividly, they choose to leave the animal skins as winter winter clothing, add so many animal skins, maybe the number of people who are frozen to death in the next winter will be greatly reduced.

Busy and busy, with the investment of more manpower and material resources, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth cities of the Xia Kingdom were finally completed before the autumn harvest, and some families have already moved into the three cities.

The autumn harvest was originally a time of joy, but now, the people of Xia are mostly silent, and the heavy rains in spring and summer have seriously reduced crop yields, compared with normal years, crop yields have been reduced by more than 40%, if there are no ditches in the farmland of Xia Country to drain water, it is expected that more than half of the farmland will be crop harvest.

If Xia does not have a large amount of food reserves, and if Xia is far away from the Yellow River and cannot fish on a large scale, I am afraid that Xia will also participate in the food war next year.

As soon as the autumn harvest ended, the fleet brought back the seven tribes that wanted to join the Xia Kingdom this year one by one and settled them in the three cities that had just been built, and at the same time, the Xia Kingdom also relocated some families from other cities, so that the three new cities had about 5,000 residents.

The autumn harvest is over, the summer country has become more busy, everyone knows that the terrible winter is coming, and all kinds of preparations must be made before the winter comes.

Fortify the house, strengthen the animal pen, collect firewood and grass, and just when people are busy, a light snow suddenly comes.

Looking at the snowflakes falling in the sky, Su Yan frowned, this snow fell too early.

Yes, this year's snow fell too early, and the time for the water to freeze was also greatly earlier, a full sixteen days earlier than the previous winter, which is equivalent to half a month.

The water freezes sixteen days earlier, and the autumn is reduced by sixteen days, and the people of Xia Kingdom have less than sixteen days of preparation time, and everyone's preparation is not yet complete.

Fortunately, the snow was not heavy, and they endured the cold of winter, and after ten years, the people of Xia Country completed the final winter preparations and stayed at home honestly.

It's not that they don't want to go out, it's that the cold of the early winter is still able to withstand it, it's a goose feather snow that keeps people stuck in their homes.

After the autumn harvest, each tribe is making the final preparations before the winter, with the grain of the autumn harvest, the main thing is not that the harvest is lost, and the farming tribes can survive this winter by relying on the grain of the autumn harvest, and the work of strengthening the house and collecting firewood and grass has become the most important thing at present.

But this year's winter came too early, and even the small tribes who don't keep track of the changes in the four seasons of the year can feel that this year's winter is much earlier than last year's.

Like the Xia Kingdom, the tribes braved the cold of winter to complete the final preparations for the winter, and then finished their final work of the year under a heavy snowfall, in which everyone could only hide in their houses wrapped in animal skins.

The Fisherman Tribe and the Ri Tribe are better, both tribes have houses with built-in stoves, so you can safely light a fire in the house without worrying about burning the house.

Other tribes, only when they could not bear the cold of winter, risked their houses being burned.

The rain of spring, summer and autumn continues into winter, and after winter, one heavy snow after another, the ice and snow of the previous one have not melted much, and the next snow and ice will cover the ice and snow of the previous one, layer by layer.

Different from different climates and environments in modern times, the same area, put into modern times, will not even appear knee-high snow, but Su Yan's era will appear, it is still very common, and knee-high snow can appear in the winter of ordinary years.

When it comes to the cold winter, it's not surprising that there is snow half the height of an adult.

The Xia Kingdom had copper tools early on, and they could use copper shovels to dig a passage in the snow, while other tribes that did not have good tools could only rely on manpower to step on a passage in the snow.

Every time after a heavy snowfall, the people of Xia Kingdom have to brave the cold to come to the roof through a ladder to sweep the snow on the roof, fortunately, the houses in Xia Country are all brick houses, the roof is sloping, there will not be too much snow, if there is too much snow, one by one heavy snow down, the roof will be crushed by the snow.

Half-height snow cover for adults is not the limit of nature, under the extreme climate change in the past few years, the snow height exceeded four feet in the winter of a few years, and the snow height reached five feet last winter, which is completely a world of ice and snow.

Su Yan thought that five feet of snow was already the limit of nature, and now nature has broken this limit.

In the third month of the winter of the fifth year of the summer calendar, the snow height in Zhongjing City exceeded five feet, which can be said to be a heavy snow seal, and the residents of Zhongjing City visited each other, and could only use copper shovels to dig a passage in this thick snow to pass.

This is not the end, nature has broken through its limits again and again, five feet three inches, five feet six inches, six feet, the thickness of the snow has even exceeded the height of three-quarters of the people of Xia Kingdom, the light of the sun is blocked by the snow, finally, nature stopped its own journey to break through the limit.
