Chapter 184: A Mountain
On the last train of migration, Wang Yang and everyone took a ride.
They walked out of the canyon and along the creek, which is understandable, because they had food and water to live.
The surface of the stream has long been frozen and covered with snow, but fortunately, everyone is familiar with the direction of the stream and will not deviate from it.
The stream exits the mouth of the canyon, winds to the right, flows near the tree hole where the bears live, and continues further into the primeval forest.
And so they walked.
The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining, there was no wind, and everyone marched with a vision of the future, and the speed was very fast, and in a short time they came to the boundary of the primeval forest.
It may have been on the edge of a primeval forest a few years ago, but now it looks like a crumbling orchard outside the canyon.
The crowd continued on their way, looking around.
The change in the environment is terrifying, and there are no animals here.
Everyone was not in a hurry, and kept moving forward.
Walking in winter is difficult because the temperature is too low, the movement is very slow, and it is impossible to find food at all times.
But it's not all bad, because the snow is all over the place, and the eyes are white, as long as there are animals approaching, the different colors will immediately attract everyone, so prepare in time.
And the ground is covered with snow, and the road is clearly visible, so you don't have to worry about the ruggedness of the road and the poison hidden under your feet, so you can put all your energy on the road.
The crowd was full of energy and laughter, and for them, it was not a migration, but a sightseeing tour, and the process must have been interesting.
From time to time, they look left and right, trying to discover something new.
But it's a pity that it's only half a day's journey. The crowd lost interest, they had seen the area completely. The trees are about the same, and no one finds it special.
It's the little ones who play hard. Often walk for a while, run for a while, chase each other, talk and laugh.
The adults had no choice but to follow them all the way, and after half a day's effort, they walked far, far away.
After pausing for a while, the crowd began to eat, in a very simple process, without making a fire. I don't take water, I take a bite of snow and a bite of jerky, but I also eat it with relish.
In the evening, the people found a place to stop and started to make a fire.
The night quickly enveloped the land, and when the cold hit, they deliberately chose a place with many large trees to stop, sweep out a clearing, and make a fire.
"Zizi~" dry firewood burned quickly. Swaying in the cold wind.
After unloading food and weapons, everyone sat around the fire, eating meat and drinking snow, and was quite happy.
It's no better than a cave. There is no natural protection and safe haven, and as long as the cold wind is together, it will inevitably hit everyone. The temperature of dozens of degrees below zero suddenly made everyone shrink their necks cold.
They couldn't help but snuggle up to each other and lean close to the fire.
Wang Yang looked at them. I didn't think about the past anymore, but patted the adult next to me. Smile slightly.
The adult smiled shyly, consciously picked up his weapon, and kept vigil with Wang Yang.
The night was very quiet, and everyone quickly fell asleep covered with thick fur, and Wang Yang and several adults walked around rubbing their hands while guarding the surroundings.
In the middle of the night, Wang Yang and several adults were very tired, their eyes were full of ice flowers, and they really wanted to fall to the ground to sleep.
At this time, it is not the same as before, when sleeping in the outside world, there is no greenhouse effect to keep warm, just a little hot, and the wind blows and takes it all away.
And the colder it gets, the more you want to sleep.
At this time, it should have been the chasers and others who got up and were on duty, but they slept soundly, very deeply, snoring, inhaling a breath of wind chill from time to time, and turning around in a drowsy manner.
When Wang Yang and several other adults on duty saw this naïve, they couldn't help but grin their frozen mouths, and almost laughed out loud.
It was still too cold, and the darkness in the vicinity had not changed, and there was no guarantee that no animals would suddenly jump out, and the few of them could not go into the campfire, otherwise the people on the periphery would lose their protection.
Everyone faced the outside, holding cold weapons in their arms, jumping lightly and shaking.
Suddenly, there was some movement in the rear, Wang Yang immediately held the wooden spear and turned his head to look, only to see that in the middle of the camp, Wang Yingying took out a piece of firewood from the bonfire and walked towards this side.
She walked up to Wang Yang, gave him the torch, and then gave him a bowl of warm water.
"This kid ......" Wang Yang smiled slightly and drank it all.
A bowl of hot water went down to the stomach, and the whole person warmed up a lot.
Wang Yingying didn't wait for Wang Yang to say anything, and handed the adults hot water and torches like this, and then she took some weapons, equipped them, and walked to Wang Yang's side, wanting to keep vigil decently.
"Woo~" She whispered to Wang Yang, pointed to the middle of the camp, and asked him to rest.
"I'll go ......" Although Wang Yang was scolding, his eyes were full of smiles, and suddenly he found that his sister had grown up.
He handed her the torch, and she took it without thinking.
……
Time passed, and more than ten days passed at once, and they walked far, far along the stream, and the daytime was all in a hurry, and they never stopped.
During this period, I also encountered some animals and captured very small parts.
Now, when you look back at the canyon, you can't see it anymore.
They are still in the sparse woods, and there are still endless woods in the distance, imaginary primeval forests are impossible, the temperature is too low, and the winters are too long.
The ten days were very peaceful, and everyone rushed in, only a quarter of the food was consumed, and there was enough time for them.
And they never caught up with the departing mammoth.
Five days later, they caught the first mammoth, and the group wondered if they were going to catch a supplementary food source.
Wang Yang pondered whether to domesticate a helper to carry goods.
He decided to give it a try.
Animals are afraid of fire, that's for sure, animals with hair are especially afraid of fire, and Wang Yang decided to surround one.
He asked everyone to approach from behind with a torch in their hands, but they were seen by a sharp-eyed guy and let out a long snort.
The elephants are angry, especially the bulls, who must defend the safety of the herd.
"Whoa~" The male elephants shouted, turned around, and saw Wang Yang and others.
Then, they just turned around and ran! All gone! Not one left! It's as fast as an athlete!
Wang Yang's face was black, was he so scary? What are you running? He led the crowd to chase after him, but he ate a lot of dust.
Everyone came back in disgrace and unanimously believed that this group of mammoths was the group of mammoths that had been attacked by themselves and others, so they were so afraid.
They continued on their way, and after another ten days, almost a month or so after leaving the tribe, they encountered a problem.
A great mountain lay before their eyes, and at the same time the stream diverted its course, no longer to the south, but to the west. (To be continued......)
