Chapter 458: The Weather Changes
On the mountain, Seirashi looked at the sky.
"This year's snow came earlier than expected. ”
At this time of year, the tribe would have a small hunt, and even if the snow fell early, it would not be mentioned so much.
The Duokang people next to him were also worried, "If it's a little snow, it's fine, I'm afraid that there will be a heavy snowfall on the side of the salt mine at that time." ”
In bad weather, it is too difficult to let go of the battle.
As he spoke, a soldier hurriedly ran over, "Chief, Wu said that the weather may be different this year, so let you prepare more." ”
The faces of the people in Zhengluo changed when they heard this, and the situation they were worried about was really possible. Since Wu said so, the chance of it happening will definitely be relatively high, and this time, they may really encounter a blizzard. Even, it could be worse.
"What else did Wu say?" asked Zhengluo.
The warrior's face was not very good, and there was a little solemnity in his voice: "Wu didn't say much, she just prepared us for the worse." ”
Wu has gone through a lot of past notes, but there is no such situation as this year. The snow was too early, and the change in the weather made her uneasy.
Worse preparation......
What else is there besides a blizzard?
In any case, even if there is a blizzard, their actions will continue without delay.
Three days later.
There was still snow in the sky, and although it wasn't big and there wasn't much white on the ground, it also caused some trouble for walking in the mountains and forests.
Wearing boots made of animal skins and tied tightly with animal tendons, Shao Xuan took the equipment to the assembly point.
This time, Zheng Luo personally led the team out, and a total of nearly 1,000 people would be brought out, close to a quarter of the total number of the tribe, and among these 1,000 people, intermediate totem warriors accounted for the majority. The proportion of junior totem warriors is not large, and when counted, this can be described as elite. As far as Shao Xuan knew, the largest number of these tribes in the mountains and forests was only about 5,000, and there was no bigger one. Moreover, earlier, even the six strongest tribes were not large in number, and they only expanded after they were pulled away from the mountains and forests.
A team of 1,000 people is already a high-level action in the actions of the tribe.
When discussing with the Tae River and the mountain wind, everyone decided to send 1,000 people each to the salt mine in three ways, and after they went. The first thing to do is to snatch back the respective salt mines, and then deal with the people of the Fierce Fox and the Sen tribe.
Each tribe stationed in the salt mine must be more familiar with the territory under their control than others, and even set some small traps, etc., to grab back the original territory first, which is simpler and has a better chance of winning.
When the team left the tribe, it was over the duckshed. The green fat duck came out when he heard the movement and stretched out his head to look out. When he saw the team walk out of the tribe, he retracted his head and looked at the thirty-one eggs in the nest.
One of the eggs moved, and the fat duck was stunned, then approached and gently nudged the egg with his beak, and then gathered the other eggs together. Hatched again in the nest, it seems to be in a good mood. It's so cold and it's snowing outside, so it doesn't need to brave the cold to go out looking for food, and naturally someone will bring it over. All it has to do is stay here and concentrate on incubating eggs. What a great place.
Not knowing what the ducks in the duckshed thought, Shao Xuan followed the team in one direction, they walked with the people of the Tai River for a while before parting, the Tai River tribe would pass by another way, and the direction that the team of Yanjiao took was something that Shao Xuan had never walked since he came here.
Tao Zheng said that there are many mountains in this direction, and he, along with Wu Chop and Xiao Qi, has followed the mine guard team to guard for a period of time. People who can join the mine guarding team and have such an experience are all people who are focused on cultivating in the tribe, and they know more secrets than others.
"On snowy days, the mountain trails are even harder. Uzchel complained.
Everyone wants the snow to stop, and there has never been such a long period of snow in the beginning of winter, which makes many people not used to it.
And that's just the beginning.
The place where the salt mine is located is not close to the tribe, and it takes four or five days to get there on weekdays, but now it takes longer because of the weather.
On the fourth day after leaving the tribe, the snow in the sky not only did not stop, but it was getting heavier and heavier, and the ground had begun to turn white.
Zheng Luo looked at the sky and exhaled a big breath of white air, "Speed up and go to the cave to rest first." ”
The place that used to be able to be reached in three days is now the fourth day, and it has not yet arrived.
On the mountain range in front, there is a cave that Yanjiao's mine guards use every time they go out or come back, to rest and adjust. But this time there were too many people with me, and the cave was crowded.
I made a fire and set up a pot, went to collect some snow to cook, put some grain in the pot, there was a golden grain brought back from the royal city, and there were also purple gold thousand grains of gold harvested in the tribe, and everyone brought dried meat.
There were not enough bowls, so the warriors went to find the leaves of an evergreen plant, each leaf was wide and thick, as large as two palms, and after picking it, they rolled it up, and folded the bottom one up, making do with the bowl.
The soldiers, who were tired from the journey and shivering from the cold, ate the gruel with jerky one night, which warmed up a lot, and with the replenishment of food, the fatigue of the body was also relieved.
The fragrance of millet is mouth-watering, and the important thing is that the warmth that rises in the body after drinking it and the physical strength that recovers quickly make everyone understand in their hearts that these grains they drink are not the ordinary grains that they used to get in Antigua City.
The warriors huddled together and laughed, but the people at the entrance of the cave were very worried, and their hearts sank when they thought of what Wu had said.
"It's colder. Dokang sighed.
Even when they went out hunting in winter, they had never encountered such a sudden drop in temperature, and they didn't feel anything in the morning, and when they arrived at the cave in the afternoon, they were shivering with cold.
The people of Yanjiao are already frost-resistant, and they are still frozen like this in animal skins, so you can imagine how strange the weather is now.
"Why is this happening?" is also strange in a broad sense.
When things go wrong, people can't help but wonder why such a change has happened.
The occurrence of abnormal conditions always seems to be accompanied by other things, like an omen.
Shao Xuan took out a straw rope from his pocket and tied it up. The others didn't understand what Shao Xuan's behavior meant, but Zhengluo knew. Before leaving, Wu also told Zhengluo that if there was any abnormal change, listen to Shao Xuan.
When a knot was finished, Zhengluo walked over quickly and asked in a low voice, "How?" He didn't dare to be too loud, the current weather change had already made some soldiers uneasy, and if something happened again, it would easily interfere with everyone's emotions.
Shao Xuan paused, looking at the knot in his hand, he almost didn't succeed this time.
"We'd better set off early tomorrow morning and rush to the salt mine within two days, otherwise it will be delayed for a longer time and will be even more detrimental to us. Shao Xuan said.
"Rush to the salt mine within two days?" This is no problem, Zheng Luo thinks he can do it, but why two days?
"What will happen in two days?" asked Seiro.
Shao Xuan shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that it's not a good thing." If you get to the salt mine, try to take it as soon as possible. ”
Shao Xuan does have a bad premonition, he has always trusted his intuition, and even the divination is unstable, I'm afraid it's not a small movement.
Duo Kang hated the people of the Fierce Fox Tribe and the Forest Tribe to death in his heart, this kind of strange weather, he should stay in the tribe, but they want to make trouble! If he touches the people of the Fierce Fox and the Sen, he will not be merciful!
As night fell, the wind outside blew harder, and the snowflakes scattered with the wind. The white cover of the ground is getting wider and wider, and when I first entered the cave, there were still many stones exposed outside, and now they are also covered with snow.
The temperature is still dropping.
Zhengluo asked people to move a few large rocks to block the wind, but the position near the entrance of the cave was still uncomfortable.
Shao Xuan used to change positions with the soldiers there, and because of the wind, there was no fire at the entrance of the cave, which was much colder than in the cave, but Shao Xuan had not experienced such a temperature. Back then, before they could go home, their winter was an endless snowstorm.
Shao Xuan's behavior made the other people in the cave have a better impression of him: The elder is really a good person.
I didn't know that I was issued a good person card, Shao Xuan was at the entrance of the cave, leaning on the cave wall to think about things, when he heard the movement next to him and looked over, he found that Zhengluo and Duokang had come over, and Tao Zheng and Wu Chop had also changed them.
"Shao Xuan, I heard that you have experienced this kind of weather before?" asked Duo Kang.
Shao Xuan smiled, "When the tribe hasn't returned to its hometown, where our tribe is located, it snows all the time in winter until the end, and the snow there can cover the house. ”
"Aren't you cold?" asked Ucho. They are the same age as Shao Xuan, but their experiences are completely different from Shao Xuan, and they don't know much about the other branch.
"It's cold, but I'm used to it. Shao Xuan remembered that when he was still in the cave near the foot of the mountain, he would lay hay on old animal skins in winter to live, and he was not used to it when he first came to this world, but after a long time, he got used to it.
"Hear me, it's just a little difficult, look at the way you all shrink your heads!" Duo Kang glared at Tao Zheng.
"However, the situation here is different, I have never encountered such a big change, and this time the battle for salt mines will be a little difficult. Shao Xuan said.
The others were silent when they heard this, knowing that the weather was abnormal, and there was likely to be an unexpected disaster, but what had to be done still had to be done, but it was just bad luck and they ran into it.
The next day, Zhengluo led the team to continue to the salt mine.
The temperature is a little higher than at night, the snow is smaller, the sky is much brighter, and everything seems to be developing in a better direction, however, Shao Xuan feels that this is just a bigger change brewing.
Increasing their strength, in the afternoon, they came to a field of salt.
This is not where the salt mines are located, and to reach the mines, you have to go through this salt field.
Above the salt field, it was colorful, and the snow falling from the sky did not cover the color of this salt field.
"Those are salt flowers, unlike the salt flowers in the mines and salt lakes, the salt flowers here, you can't eat them. (To be continued......)
