Chapter 22 The first snow, the wolf crisis
In the early morning, Su Yu was awakened by the cold.
He was sleeping soundly and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing on his back, which made him shudder.
The sky was still gray, and the dim light made Su Yu feel a little uncomfortable.
The fire was extinguished. Su Yu walked to the door and opened the door. A biting wind blew into his face.
"A Qiu!"
Su Yu couldn't help sneezing, and the cold wind outside made him tremble with coldness. The thin animal skin clothes could not stop the cold.
"It's so fatal!" Su Yu couldn't help but complain.
There was a layer of snow outside. Although the thin layer was not much, it wrapped all the trees outside in a layer of plain white snow.
Su Yu hurried back to the house. The temperature inside was much higher than outside, making Su Yu no longer look like he was going out.
The room was warmer, so Su Yu rubbed his frozen hands and then added several pieces of animal skin to his body.
It was getting brighter outside, and Su Yu could no longer stay in the house and not come out.
When I went out to the open space in the center of the tribe, most of the tribe members had already risen and were waiting for the arrival of the clan leader here.
"Everyone set up a pot and cook the soup." Su Yu ordered.
It's too cold now and I'm in urgent need of a bowl of hot soup to warm my body.
When everyone heard the clan leader's words, they started to work hard.
"Su Xun, why did the snow come so early?"
"I asked my grandfather, and he said that this winter will be very cold. This snow is a warning. There will be a heavy blizzard in a month." Su Xun's face was serious. His grandfather was the only one in the tribe who could observe and predict the weather. There has not been a single time in decades that it was inaccurate. So when he heard his grandfather say that this winter will be particularly cold, Su Xun attached great importance to it.
"Is this news accurate?" Su Yu hesitated.
"It must be accurate. Grandpa has predicted it for decades, but it has never been accurate." Su Xun affirmed.
Hearing Su Xun's promise, Su Yu's face became serious.
Now the tribe is not just a camp, and the distance between each camp is not close. If the mountain is covered with heavy snow in winter, I don’t know what will happen to Langshan.
It’s easy to get close to the lake on the grassland, just store enough food within this month. But it’s not possible on the Wolf Mountain. There is not so much prey to hunt alone for them.
It seems that we can only arrange for people there to move here and go back after winter has passed. Anyway, the coal mine will not run away even if it stays there, so it is an important point in the coal mine.
Because it was snowing, after drinking the hot fish soup, Su Yu asked everyone to 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 anymore.
...
At this time, the Gangeous Wolf Camp. Yesterday, Su Yun and Hui Mu tamed several more horse herds and brought them back to the camp.
There are now more than 300 horses in the camp. For this reason, they collected a lot of wood during the day and built fences for the horse herd.
After building the fence, Su Yun used the remaining wood to repair the camp. Although Su Yun went hunting every day before, he only had that period of time to hunt every day.
Originally, he was the most omnipotent tribe member in the tribe, just because he had strong learning ability.
Su Yun woke up early this morning and saw snow, which made him feel abnormal. If it were before, it would have been at least one month later.
"Young man, this winter may be difficult." The old man who was called Grandpa by Huimu walked over and said.
"This snow may freeze many animals to death. Winter is coming soon, and the wolves may come to harass the tribe." The old man expressed his concerns.
"Does the wolves come to harass each year?" Su Yun asked.
"This was like this in previous years, but this year is probably a difficult winter. The animals' premonition is stronger than that of us." The old man frowned, his gray hair fluttering in the wind.
"It's hard to deal with the wolves." Su Yun naturally had dealt with the wolves, which were the wolves in the forest.
However, these are all wolves, and Su Yun also knows the difficulty of the wolves.
I really want to come to harass the camp, and this winter is not easy.
"Grandma, I found traces of wolves in the lake." Huimu rode a horse on the grassland, then stopped beside the two of them and said in a hurry.
"This is very difficult."
Su Yun frowned, "Go and ask someone to set up the fence, hurry up!"
The wolf pack could not get over it, Su Yun didn't know, but if he really wanted to come over, he would definitely be staring at the cattle and sheep in the camp.
It is already afternoon now, and they are likely to come by in the evening. Compared with wild cattle and sheep that can run away, domestic cattle and sheep that are raised in captivity are much easier to catch.
"Hui Mu, go stare at the wolves and pay attention to safety." Su Yun explained.
"Yeah!" Hui Mu kicked his legs and rode away on a horse.
"You two rode horses and went back overnight to inform the clan leader about the situation." Su Yun asked the two tribe members who had learned how to ride horses to go back to convey the news here.
Although it was afternoon, it didn't take long to ride a horse and whip it. It was still possible to rush back to the tribe before night fell.
At the sun set, Su Yun asked someone to drive cattle and sheep to the center of the camp. The horse herd opened the fence. The horse herd is not all tamed. Only the horse king is tamed. The wildness of other horses is still there, and it is not inferior to the wolves at all.
Basically, no wolves will provoke horses. First, the number is not as large as the horses, and second, the horses cannot escape.
A wolf can't beat a horse, and it's not as strong as a horse. The horse's hind legs can even kill an adult wolf with one kick.
Su Yun was not afraid of the wolves, but there were not only warriors, but also elderly people and children in the tribe.
I can’t take care of the elderly and children, but I can’t protect the cattle and sheep. All I have to do now is to try my best to protect everyone and cattle and sheep.
"Move the horse herd to our periphery." In Su Yun's opinion, this horse herd is not as important as cattle and sheep. After hearing the old man say that the horse herd is not afraid of the wolf pack, he just uses them as a wall of meat.
"Ao Woo~"
The sound of wolves came from a distance. Before Huimu came back, Su Yun asked the soldiers of the hunting team to pick up their weapons and prepare for battle.
Passively being beaten is not Su Yun's personality, he prefers to take the initiative.
The members of the hunting team have developed a tacit understanding, and they can understand everything Su Yun wants to do as soon as possible.
As night fell, Su Yun saw a black shadow flying in the darkness, which was Huimu and his horse king. Behind were the pack of wolves with dense eyes shining with faint light.
Is this the wolf pack being brought over? Well, Su Yun is going to embarrass these wolf packs.
“Ye ~”
The running horse king screamed a few times, and the horses behind Su Yun suddenly became restless.
“Get out of here!”
Su Yun shouted, because the horses behind rushed forward to the wolf pack. Su Yun and the others happened to be in the middle, and he didn't want to be stepped into a meat pie.
Su Yun watched the horses rush into the wolf pack and directly dispersed the wolf pack.
"Aowoo!"
What happens when a group of horses hit a group of wolves? Of course, it is a stampede accident.
The horse herd and the wolf pack were in chaos for a long time, and finally ended the tragedy with the horse herd's cool departure.
However, the horses themselves also suffered casualties, and a mare was trampled to death by their own family.
Although the wolves suffered this disaster, they still did not give up on the attack, and they did not lose too many members.
Looking at the wolf pack getting closer and closer, Su Yun tightened the stone spear in his hand.
