024 The herd is coming
Although Mu Shi was concentrating on weaving baskets, he listened to the two children with his ears pricked up.
Hearing their rhetoric, he was also full of expectations, hoping that they would do it.
The adults are busy making all kinds of preparations, the cold season is approaching, and the hardest time is coming, so they need to be well prepared.
Nowadays, every family has pika cubs, and it is not a trivial matter to prepare hay for them in the cold season.
In the grassland to the west of Lin Yan's house, there is an immeasurable number of pikas, which she named Pika Plain, and the grass in the marginal area has been cut one after another.
The tribesmen carried the straw back to dry and pile it up into haystacks, which not only fed the pikas but also lit fires in the cold season.
Nowadays, there are stacks of straw, firewood, simple stoves, and various clay pots outside the entrance of each house.
Seeing that all the preparations are almost the same, everyone is overjoyed, and this cold season should not be difficult.
On this day, Lin Yan was teaching the children to read and write, a large stone slab was placed in front, and she held a charcoal pen in her hand to write down a line of neat words.
These children have very good brains, and she writes twenty words a day, and they can remember them.
After a few months of study, a lot has been accumulated, and everyone can master thousands of words.
There is no problem with simple writing, Lin Yan does not have a systematic learning plan, and picks out some simple words from the books in the science and technology museum to teach.
The children's thirst for knowledge is strong, their minds are smart, and they learn quickly, so Lin Yan teaches them casually, basically the names of things they come into contact with every day.
These children learned and then taught more people, and now everyone in the tribe knows a few words.
When a group of children were following Lin Yan aloud, Mao Mu suddenly rushed over, and he shouted: "Run, the beasts are coming, run!" ”
The children looked confused, not knowing how to react.
Lin Yan's brain was also confused, what is the herd?
Mao Mu rushed over, picked up Lin Yan with one hand, scooped up the wild buds with one hand, and yelled at the child who was still stunned: "Follow me, fast." ”
He shouted in the direction of his home again: "A-Niang, come out quickly, hurry up." ”
Mao Mu roared so loudly that the people around him heard it, and they didn't dare to delay and ran out immediately.
Under his incessant roar, the people hurried away.
The beasts, adults are no strangers, they immediately change color when they hear it, and they can't care about anything.
Most of the children have not experienced it, but they have also heard about the horror of the herd.
Subconsciously ran with Mao Mu, for fear that if he took a step slower, he would lose his life.
Mao Mu ran towards the tribe and shouted, "Run, the herd is coming, run!" ”
The others also shouted as they ran.
Whether they are old or able, they all burst out with unprecedented strength at this moment, running desperately.
As they ran, the distant rumbling grew closer.
The earth shook, the sound was huge, and the rumbling sound was like thunder.
Lin Yan's eyes widened, staring in the direction where the voice came from, trying to see what it was.
The crowd was chaotic, shuttling through the woods, there were children's cries, crazy roars, all intertwined.
At this moment, Lin Yan's brain was buzzing, he was hugged by Mao Mu, and he ran away quickly.
After only ten minutes, the herd arrived.
Lin Yan's eyes widened, watching the sturdy, fat and sturdy black bison rampant, like thunder. Everywhere I passed, the grass and trees splashed.
From time to time, a bison trampled on a cave in the ground and fell, and the bison behind rushed to kill, and the bison that fell to the ground was trampled on the flesh and blood.
Bloody riots, roaring and screaming, she had never seen such a shocking picture with her own eyes. In front of the running herd, people seem so insignificant.
At this time, they were hiding in a large banyan tree, watching the herd of cattle swarming below.
At that time, they were busy running, and when they saw that the noise was getting louder and louder, people climbed the trees to escape, and they could have escaped.
Everyone was frightened and didn't dare to come out, and the children were stupid, stunned, and their eyes were staring blankly at a certain place.
After a day and a night, the herd began to slowly retreat.
The young men of the tribe went to investigate the situation, and the others stayed where they were and did not dare to move.
After waiting for most of the day to make sure that the cattle were far away, the people came out of their hiding places and looked at the devastated home with tears streaming down their faces.
They had been in this place for five years, and they had finally settled down, who would have thought that the cattle would come so suddenly and catch people off guard.
The newly established homeland was destroyed.
Lin Yan watched that someone's cave had been trampled down, and the haystacks that had been stacked and the stove that had been built were shattered by the impact.
The ground was full of pits left by herds of cattle, and when they went down with their hooves, there was a big pit.
The domesticated pikas were trampled by the herd, shattered and mutilated in one place, and some took the opportunity to flee with nothing left.
Everything is ruined, the homes they have worked so hard to build, there is nothing left.
The more people looked at it, the colder their hearts became, their eyes full of sorrow, and they cried.
The food that I had stockpiled was gone, the home was gone, and everything had to start all over again.
Lin Yan felt very sad in her heart, tears rolled in her eyes, she never thought that everything would be easily ruined. Life was already difficult, but now it is even worse.
It is not known how many people did not escape and how many were injured while fleeing for their lives.
After the sorrow, the hungry gurgles, the children scream with hunger, and the adults gradually cheer up and look for food.
At this time, Lin Yan was shocked to realize that A-Niang didn't know where she was.
"Mao Mu, where is my aunt?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you to A-Niang." Mao Mu gently patted Lin Yan's back, looking for someone as he walked.
Bonus was desperately looking for her daughter, tears kept flowing in her eyes, she was busy mowing the grass outside, when she heard the herd coming, she hurried back, but it was too late, and she could only hide from the herd for the time being.
When the cattle retreated and hurriedly looked for her daughter, Hua Bonus was very scared and hoped that her daughter would escape.
Lin Yan is so smart, there will definitely be a way.
When she met with Mao Mu and saw Lin Yan, Hua Hong couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her daughter, and cried.
Such scenes are everywhere.
On this night, people gathered around and did not dare to sleep.
The adults formed a circle and surrounded the children in the center, guarding all sides.
After a difficult night, the sun rises and a new day comes, but people's nerves are still tense and dare not relax.
No one knows if the herd will come back.
Lin Yan also figured out that the cattle were coming towards the Sun River to drink water.
In this land, it is not only people who need water, but also animals.
If you encounter a lone beast, people still have the strength to fight, and even if they can't beat it, they can run. But if you encounter a herd as large as a herd of cattle, you can only flee in confusion.
This time it was lucky, the herd was only there to drink, and the cattle were herbivores and were not interested in people.
When it comes to carnivores, people are food, and it is even more difficult to escape.
After a herd, the Sun Tribe suffered heavy losses.
