Human beings have always thought that they have the power to change nature, but when the real power of nature is displayed in front of their eyes, they will find that the little power they have is really insignificant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just as the people were seated in the middle of the village, a rumbling sound came from the cave. In the blink of an eye, the fires burning at the entrances of more than a dozen caves disappeared without a trace. The tribesmen understood that it was because the fire was covered and buried by the collapsed cavern.

Then, a strong gust of air came with a strong earthy smell, and even heavy rain could not dilute the earthy smell in the wind.

The song of the great wind has stopped, and even the youngest child has forgotten to cry. The clansmen looked in vain in the direction of the cave in the darkness with their eyes wide open, and there were only a few piles on both sides of the fire that were still burning.

Home, that's it.

Grief is contagious, and the most intuitive manifestation is from the first low sobs to the continuous wail.

Wang Hao closed his eyes and didn't want to say anything. Even if he knew that what the people needed most now was someone to stand up and tell them a hope, even the most illusory hope.

He hated himself very much now, and the cave collapse this time could be said to be caused by him indirectly.

If he hadn't taught his tribesmen how to make pottery, the trees in the back mountain would not have been cut down by the tribesmen. If he hadn't taught everyone how to weave straw sandals, the turf wouldn't have been cut. Without the protection of turf and trees, it is natural for the mountain to collapse when it is washed away by heavy rain.

When there was a cave to live in, Wang Hao felt that the cave was dark, damp, and full of poisonous insects. But when there was no cave, Wang Hao tightened the wolf skin on his body and found that the cave where he lived could at least shield him from the wind and rain.

It was as if the cries of the clansmen had woken up the gods in charge of the heavenly river. The rain gradually faded. At least it won't hurt in the face like the one you used to make.

The rain will be followed by a sunny day. Today is no exception.

It rained, and the pond at the entrance of the village became extremely muddy. After taking a few basins of water and filtering it slightly, it was boiled into a medicinal soup.

The herbs were picked by Shi Li with a few clansmen at dawn, and during this time, he had already known more than 30 kinds of common herbs. When he returned, the water was boiling.

Everyone in the clan was forced by Wang Hao to pour two bowls of soup to dispel the cold, especially those pregnant women, and each of them was also given two balls of bitter dregs. They didn't know what these dregs were, but they only knew that after they went down, they felt warm in their stomachs, and half of the coolness on their bodies was instantly dispelled.

Of the 300 meat racks made in the village, less than 10 bars of salted fish are hung today. This is still Wang Hu, who risked their lives to snatch it out of those caves that have not yet collapsed.

Iron swords, bows, axes and other tools were not lost, these things are now more important than their own lives, and they have never left their bodies since the day they were distributed.

Of the large clay pots in which the fish was boiled, only two remained, and the rest were buried. There were still two pots of salt left, and the rest were buried in the rubble along with the thousands of arrows.

Today's breakfast was eaten very late, and the damp wood didn't ignite until almost noon. The fish boiled in the turbid pond water is like eating soil in the mouth, and even the mushrooms Wang Hao found from some rotten wood cannot hide the strong earthy smell.

There is nothing when things are gone, as long as people are still there, then there is hope for everything. Whether it is an arrow shaft or a pottery bowl, Wang Hao believes that as long as he settles down, the hard-working clansmen will be able to make more.

But the terrible thing is that the tribesmen were frightened by the heavy rain and the collapse of the cave last night. All of them are as blind-eyed as the walking dead. Having lost their homes, they are all confused, including the patriarch, who do not know where to go in the future.

After the meal, the tribesmen gathered in the village not knowing what to do, looking for something to do but finding nothing to do.

Just when the patriarch found Wang Hao and wanted to get some instructions from him, the man who was on guard at the entrance of the village ran back and told the patriarch that there were ten strange men walking towards Wang Village.

Each village has its own hunting territory, and on weekdays, except for intermarriage and exchange days every three months, there are few strangers on the territory of each village.

The patriarch led the clansmen out, watching the ten people get closer and closer, the patriarch said to Wang Hao worriedly: "I have seen three of those people, all of them are from Liu Village. ”

The people of Liu Village got closer and closer, and when they were still ten steps away from everyone, they stopped. Their bodies were covered in blood, and each of them carried two stone axes and a wooden spear polished from ironwood. On each wooden spear, a wolf's head is inserted.

Judging from their vigorous walking posture, no one should be injured, and since they are not injured, the blood on their bodies is naturally not theirs.

"Let your patriarch Wang Long come out to speak, and say that the messenger from Liu Village has arrived." A strong man with dark skin, iron arms and beard, and muscles all over his body like iron stood up and said.

Since the name of the patriarch was called, they naturally knew each other, and the patriarch took a step forward and said, "I don't know what the strong men of Liu Village are doing when they come to my Wang Village to hunt." ”

The strong man looked at Wang Lung, then took off the wolf's head from the wooden spear and said, "Since the destruction of Shicun, a group of vicious wolves have come from the direction of Shicun, and there are more than ten ninety-nine in number. This wolf pack naturally has no threat to our Liu Village, but for your little Wang Village, once it encounters it, I am afraid that there will be a disaster to destroy the village, and the patriarch of my clan is kind-hearted and does not want to see your village suffer a catastrophe, so last night, taking advantage of the heavy rain, the whole village went out to exterminate the wolves in one fell swoop and protect the lives of the women and children of your Wang Village.

However, the wolves are vicious, and a few of our warriors have unfortunately been injured, and since they were injured to protect you, you naturally need to express themselves. After thinking about it, the patriarch finally decided that you villages, who have not contributed to the full moon, must give us Liu Village tribute to four adult wild boars and other heavy food, if you don't give it, our Liu Village will come to get it personally, and when the time comes, don't mind if you accidentally hurt the women and children in your village. ”

How many wolves there are, Wang Hao and others who drove them over with their own hands naturally have the most right to speak. Listening to their mouths, the number of wolves suddenly increased by a small half, and Wang Hu took a step forward to debunk their lies. But fortunately, he was stopped by Wang Hao, who saw the opportunity quickly.

"Zhuangshi, last night's heavy rain, the caves where our Wang Village lived collapsed, and now there is only a small amount of food left in the village, which is not enough to pay as much as the tribute of four wild boars, besides, the wolves are on the land of your Liu Village, how can it be related to the safety of our Wang Village, please go back and ......" Before the patriarch finished speaking, he was interrupted by the strong man.

"Our patriarch said that if you don't want to give, we won't force it, but our warriors paid for their lives to protect you, since you don't know how to be grateful, we will personally take back the lost lives of the warriors. Last night's raid, we had more than ninety-nine dead and wounded, and it is up to you to decide whether to give four wild boars as prey on a full moon night or wait for us to take ninety-nine lives. The strong man said proudly. He is not afraid of the more than 100 people in Wang Village, even if they can't beat it, they can run away, even if one out of ten people runs away, then what awaits Wang Village will be the burning, killing and looting of Liu Village's army.

After the discussion of the clansmen, everyone decided to stabilize them for the time being, an adult wild boar, weighing only five or six hundred catties. In the past, the people who couldn't eat enough would definitely not be able to get so much food. However, after having a fishing method, catching fish as heavy as four wild boars is just a day's work for the tribesmen.

"Okay, we agreed to your village's request, but our Wang Village can't afford to ...... for a while," the patriarch responded, only to be interrupted before he could finish his words this time.

The strong man pointed to the Xuanyuan sword hanging from the patriarch's waist, his eyes widened and asked, "What is the thing on your waist?" ”

The patriarch thought of hiding the Xuanyuan Sword behind him, but it was too late, so he had to frown and say: "The name of this thing is the Xuanyuan Sword, and it is a token of the patriarch of our Wang Village. ”

"Quick, throw it over here and show me." The strong man said greedily, he has never seen such a beautiful thing when he grows so big, and the distance of ten steps is enough for him to see the patterns on the scabbard of the Xuanyuan Sword clearly. Compared with Liu Village, Wang Village is just a small village, not to mention a token of the patriarch, even if it is the patriarch himself, he does not have much respect. It can be seen from the fact that he interrupted the patriarch's words twice in this short period of time.

The patriarch's face changed a few times, and before he could speak, the grumpy Wang Hu stood up and said: "This is a token of our patriarch, except for the patriarch, our own clan can't touch it at will, let alone you are a person from another village." Your request really doesn't take our Wang Village seriously. ”

"What are you Wang Village, there are six ninety-nine soldiers in our Liu Village, and they can set foot in your Wang Village at any time, dare to talk to me like this, are you looking for death?" The strong man said with a gloomy face.

Tensions were brewing between the two villages, and Wang Hao felt that war might be imminent.
