Chapter 424: Big Winter, Little Winter

Star Lake Shore.

A swarm of glowing algae gathered together, scrambling like small fish to devour the carrion fragments scattered by the pheasants.

"Crackle!"

After eating, they scattered, made a small splash, and swam in all directions towards the center of the lake.

At this time, the center of the lake was calm and waveless, and there was not a single tree man lying on the water, and the entire star lake became a paradise for star algae.

All the Treants were now standing on the ground, their roots digging deep into the earth, their brown spots spreading out of endless tree filaments, wielding them to carry rocks.

Unlike a day ago, the clearing is now filled with irregular rocks, large and small, and is as crowded as a quarry, and there is no place to put your feet.

Most of the rocks seemed to have just been excavated from the ground, with potholes and a lot of earth embedded in the crevices.

Looking at the blue gray color and beautiful lines, it is obvious that the blue rock found by the chief of the stone tribe is suitable for building stone houses.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Ding-ding-ding!"

The remaining more than 1,000 carver tribesmen, both men and women, sat in the rocks at the moment, holding chisels and knives and other tools, sweating profusely to polish the rocks.

Polishing is the basic skill of carving, so every carving tribesman is equally good at polishing.

With the flying lime and splashing gravel, the rocks that were originally potholes of different sizes were soon transformed into standard 480 mm, 230 mm, and 106 mm cuboid bricks.

In fact, in addition to everyone being a master carver, the carving tribe is also a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, so these rock bricks seem to be copied and pasted with each other, each of which is extremely standard and looks perfect.

At this moment, Chen is also polishing the rocks.

His eyes were focused, and his hands flew around the stones quickly, and as a warrior he was polishing much faster than ordinary carriers, and at this time there was already a large pile of polished rock bricks on his right hand.

At the same time, there are fewer and fewer unpolished rocks around.

"Dangchang!"

Another polished rock brick was thrown into the pile on the right-hand side.

Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, shook his red hand, and suddenly shouted to the air: "Take all this pile away! I'm going to change places!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of tree strands roared through the intertwined crowd, rolled up the bluestone bricks with precision, and stacked them on top of a high pyramid-like brick mountain beside the cave.

Chen waved his hand at the tree man behind him, and changed to a place with more rough stones to continue working.

The two middle-aged craftsmen of the Nest tribe stood not far away, looking at Chen and the other Carving tribesmen who were buried in their work with shame and adoration, and sighed:

"They're too fast, and if I polish one rock, they're afraid they can polish ten...... No, it's twenty dollars!"

"Me too, and the polished rock is definitely not that smooth!"

At this time, a potter came up, put his hand on the shoulders of the two of them, and led them out: "Let's go, don't be lazy, move the stones together!"

The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, not daring to delay any longer, and followed him forward with great strides, and then merged into the crowd that poured outward like a tide.

These people all went to the distant hills and mountains.

They were going to dig up the blue-gray rock mines that were suitable for building stone houses, extract all the stones, and then transport them back to the territory in a steady stream.

Moa, howler beasts, white tortoises, wild bulls, wrinkled gill eight-legged insects...... Countless war beasts also joined this huge transport team, and untransportable war beasts such as falcons and stinging insects stood around the team and were responsible for protecting them.

On the top of the mountain.

Tribal chiefs and witches crowded into a circle.

"Now that everyone is together, I'll tell you all over again, because most of the tribes don't know about it yet. ”

Ye Xi stood at the head end, his eyes were calm and solemn: "We inquired that the people of the tribe originally lived dozens of miles away. According to them, there are four seasons of the year, and now we are in the midst of a rainy autumn, which you can also think of as the rainy season. ”

"As the autumn rains continue to drop, the temperature will continue to drop, which means that it will get colder and colder, and when the rain stops completely, we will soon have the last winter of the four seasons. ”

"You can imagine the cold spell in the middle of the rainy season, and the winter is almost as cold as it was then. ”

Someone immediately frowned.

But everyone didn't speak without interrupting Ye Xi, just quietly listening to him continue.

Ye Xi was silent for a moment and continued: "And the winter here is divided into big winter and small winter. ”

"The maximum length of the small winter is two and a half months, while the maximum of the big winter is four months. The third month is the coldest month, when the dripping water turns into ice, and those who do not have enough fur and firewood will die from the cold. ”

According to the tribesmen, when the winter came, at least nearly 100 people in their tribe froze to death in the terrible cold, turning into hard ice mounds, and they could not bleed even if they were cut. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to go out hunting again. ”

A lot of people gasped.

Four months of cold! Although they had not experienced winter, they knew how cold it was when the cold spell came, and if they couldn't go out hunting for so long...... How many people would have to starve to death?

Ye Xi's eyes were blazing at everyone, and his voice was powerful and clear.

"There is no pattern to the arrival of the big winter and the small winter, sometimes once every two years, sometimes once every ten years, sometimes for several years in a row. Tribal people can only store food intuitively, but unlike us, we have witches!"

"What I can tell you is that several witches have already made out the results. ”

Many people suddenly held their breath.

Ye Xi looked at them word by word and said, "What we are going to meet is the big winter!"

There was silence.

Halfway through, Chief Manniu gritted his teeth and asked Ye Xi, "Lord Xiwu, how long is it until the arrival of winter?"

Ye Xi said very simply: "One month." ”

The chief of the wild bull turned pale: "Just ...... It's only a month?"

Ye Xi smiled slightly: "It should be said that we still have a full month to prepare! We are lucky to be able to find this place a month before the arrival of winter, if it is on the road to spend the winter, do you think how many clansmen will die?"

The burly body of the Bull Chief suddenly shuddered.

If it was really as cold and so long when a cold wave really came in winter, most of the people in the team would have frozen to death. Thinking about it this way, I really want to thank those one-horned scale horses, without them, everyone is afraid that everyone would still be trekking in the grassland!

Ye Xi comforted everyone warmly: "Although winter is coming, we don't need to be afraid, as long as we build a stone house, build a good ondol, and store enough food and firewood before winter comes, then we will spend an extremely comfortable winter." ”

"We can sit around the warm kang and drink the hot broth, then laze into a nap, occasionally brave the cold to break through the door, and everyone get together to have a good time. ”

"The premise of all this is that in a month, we have to get everything done. ”
