Chapter 22: The First Snow, the Greedy Wolf Crisis

Early in the morning, Su Yu woke up from freezing.

As he slept soundly, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back, which directly made him feel excited.

The sky was still gray, and the dim light made Su Yu a little uncomfortable.

The fire had been extinguished, Su Yu walked to the door, opened the door, and a cold and biting wind blew in his face.

"Ah Qiu!"

Su Yu couldn't help but sneeze, and the cold wind outside made him shiver. Thin animal skin clothes could not stop the cold.

"Damn!" Su Yu couldn't help but complain.

There was a layer of snow outside, and although there was not much of it, it covered all the trees outside with a plain white snow coat.

Su Yu hurriedly returned to the house, and the temperature in the house was much higher than outside, making Su Yu not feel like going out.

Still warmer in the house, Su Yu rubbed his frozen hands, and then added several animal skins to his body.

It was brighter outside, and Su Yu couldn't stay in the house anymore.

Coming out to the open space in the center of the tribe, most of the tribesmen had already gotten up and waited here for the arrival of the patriarch.

"Let's set up a pot and cook soup." Su Yu commanded.

It's too cold now, and I urgently need a bowl of hot soup to warm up.

Hearing the patriarch's words, everyone began to get busy.

"Su Xun, why did this snow come so early."

"I asked Grandpa, and he said that this year's winter will be very cold, and this snow is a warning, and there will be a big snowstorm in a month." Su Xun's face was serious, Grandpa was the only one in the tribe who could observe and predict the weather, and there was no time in the past few decades that it was inaccurate, so when he heard Grandpa say that this year's winter would be particularly cold, Su Xun attached great importance to it.

"Is this accurate?" Su Yu was a little hesitant.

"It's definitely accurate, Grandpa has predicted for decades, and none of them are inaccurate." Su Xun affirmed.

Hearing Su Xun's assurance, Su Yu's face also became serious.

Now the tribe is not just a camp, and the distance between each camp is not close. If the mountain is covered by heavy snow in winter, I don't know what will happen to Wolf Mountain.

On the other side of the grassland, it is good to be close to the lake, so you can store enough food for this month. But it's not good on the Wolf Mountain side, there aren't so many prey for them to hunt just by hunting.

It seems that the only way to arrange for someone over there to move over there is to go back after the winter has passed. Anyway, the coal mine will not run if it stays there, and it is also an important point of the coal mine.

Because of the snow, after drinking the hot fish soup, Su Yu let everyone rest for a day. Of course, if he volunteered to work, Su Yu would not stop him, but Su Yu didn't want to move.

……

At this time, the greedy wolf camp. Yesterday, Su Yun took Huimu and tamed a few more horses and brought them back to the camp.

There were now more than 300 horses in the camp, so during the day they went to collect a lot of wood and fence the horses.

After building the fence, Su Yun used the remaining wood to repair the camp. Don't look at Su Yun who went hunting every day before, but only during that period of time was hunting every day.

Originally, he was the most versatile clansman in the tribe, just because he was very good at learning.

Su Yun woke up early this morning and saw that it was snowing, which made him feel abnormal. In the past, the snow would have been at least a month later.

"Young man, this winter may not be going to be easy." The old man who was called Grandpa by Hui Mu came over and said.

"I'm afraid that this snow will freeze a lot of animals to death, and it will be winter soon, and wolves may come to harass the tribe." The old man voiced his concerns.

"Do wolves come and harass every year?" Su Yun asked.

"In previous years, it was like this, but this year is a difficult winter, and the premonitions of animals are stronger than ours." The old man frowned, his gray hair fluttering in the wind.

"It's hard to handle the wolves." Su Yun naturally dealt with wolves, which were wolves in the forest.

However, these are all wolves, and Su Yun also knows the difficulty of the wolf pack.

It's not going to be a good winter.

"Grandpa, I found traces of wolves in the big lake." Huimu rode his horse and galloped across the grassland, then stopped next to the two of them and said hurriedly.

"It's going to be hard."

Su Yun frowned, "Go and ask someone to put up the fence, hurry up!" ”

The wolves can't get over, Su Yun doesn't know yet, but if he really wants to come, he must be staring at the cattle and sheep in the camp.

It's already afternoon, and they'll probably come by the evening. Compared with wild cattle and sheep that can run, domestic cattle and sheep that are raised in captivity are much easier to catch.

"Huimu, you go and keep an eye on those wolves, stay safe." Su Yun explained.

"Hmm!" Huimu kicked his legs and rode away.

"You two rode back overnight to inform the patriarch of the situation." Su Yun asked the two clansmen who had learned to ride horses to go back and deliver the news here.

Although it was afternoon, it didn't take long to ride a horse and whip it up, and it was still possible to rush back to the tribe before night fell.

As the sun set, Su Yun asked people to drive the cattle and sheep to the center of the camp. And the horses have opened the fence, and now the horses are not all tamed, only the king of horses is tamed, and the wildness of the other horses is still there, and it is not inferior to the wolves.

Basically, no wolves will provoke the horses, first, there are not as many horses, and secondly, they can't outrun the horses.

Wolves generally can't beat horses, their strength is not as strong as horses, and the hind legs of horses can kill an adult wolf with one kick.

Su Yun is not afraid of wolves, but there are not only warriors in the tribe, but also old people and children.

Taking care of the elderly and children, the cattle and sheep can't be saved, and all we have to do now is to try to protect all the people and the cattle and sheep.

"Move the herd to our periphery." In Su Yun's opinion, this horse herd is not as important as cattle and sheep, and after hearing the old man say that the horses are not afraid of wolves, he directly used them as a meat wall.

"Whew~"

There was a wolf howl in the distance, and Huimu had not yet returned, so Su Yun asked the warriors of the hunting party to pick up their weapons and prepare for battle.

Being beaten passively is not Su Yun's character, he prefers to take the initiative.

The members of the hunting team have developed a tacit understanding with each other, and they can understand what Su Yun wants to do at the first time.

Night fell, and Su Yun saw a black shadow galloping in the darkness, it was Huimu and his horse king. Behind them were a pack of wolves with glowing eyes.

Is this luring the wolves over? It's okay, Su Yun is ready to yin these wolves.

"咴咴~"

The horse king who was running shouted a few times, and the horses behind Su Yun suddenly became agitated.

"Get out of the way!"

Su Yun shouted, as the horses behind rushed towards the wolves. Su Yun and the others were just in the middle, and he didn't want to be trampled into meatloaf.

Su Yun watched the horses rush into the wolves and directly disperse the wolves' ranks.

"Whew!"

What happens when a pack of horses hits a pack of wolves, that's of course a stampede.

The horses and wolves were in chaos for a long time, and finally ended the tragedy with the horses leaving in style.

However, the herd itself suffered casualties, and one mare was trampled to death by his own family.

Despite this catastrophe, the wolves still did not give up their attack, and they did not lose too many members.

Looking at the wolves that were getting closer and closer, Su Yun clenched the stone spear in his hand.
