With the sound of drums and dancing, the New Year's Eve finally came to an end, and the laughing and dancing clansmen finally stopped.
Although the night was dim, the snow was falling, the cold wind was howling, and the sleepiness was coming, the clansmen still did not return to the wooden house. Instead, they sat around the campfire and chatted, waiting for the departure of the big cold season and the arrival of the small rainy season.
Su doctors said that keeping fire on New Year's Eve can drive away all evil plagues and diseases, and keep good luck in the new year.
Without a mobile phone or a clock, Su An'an didn't know exactly when the new year would come, but Benson said that he could feel the coming of the small rainy season, so she gave him the task of reporting the new year.
Taking advantage of the old age, Su Anan looked at Cang and asked curiously: "Cang, after the end of the cold season, when will we start returning to the foggy forest?"
"We have to set off before the ice and snow melt." Therefore, even though the tribesmen are busy preparing for the New Year these days, Cang continues to send hunting teams to find a more suitable route back to the foggy forest.
Su Anan asked puzzledly: "Why? Shouldn't we wait for the weather to warm up and the ice and snow to melt before setting off? In that case, females and cubs will not get sick easily, and there is no thick snow cover in the mountains and forests, so the speed of traveling You can hurry up too, can't you?"
Cang shook his head and explained: "Most of the snow in the cold season has been crushed into ice cubes. As long as you pay attention, it is still easy to drive. But after the ice and snow melt, the road will be potholed and it will be more difficult to walk.
Moreover, the small rainy season is sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, and females and cubs are more likely to get sick when traveling in this constantly changing weather. "
Different from being concise and concise when talking to others, Cang's explanations are always more detailed when talking to Su An'an.
Hearing this, Su An'an couldn't help being a little silent. When the seasons change, females and cubs with poor physical fitness are indeed more likely to get sick.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Dora frowned depressedly, and couldn't help pleading: "Patriarch, the valley is warm and beautiful, surrounded by dense jungles, and when the small rainy season comes, prey will probably increase. Otherwise, why not stay here for a few more days?
After the ice and snow have completely melted, let's go on our way again. With the powerful Ann and old Nick around, we won't get sick. "
Hearing this, many females nodded in agreement with Dora's words. In order to avoid natural disasters, they had been running for their lives, and finally found a safe, warm and comfortable place. They really don't want to travel hard anymore .
Although he could understand the feelings of the females, Cang shook his head ruthlessly and said: "No, the tribe has not much salt left, we have to go back to the misty forest as soon as possible, and exchange the animal skins with the sea tribe orcs Coarse salt, or we'll miss the big rally."
Although Benson took back a lot of coarse salt before, the tribe's coarse salt had already been submerged by the flood when the previous flash flood broke out. The meals are all salty and spicy, so there is not much coarse salt left in the tribe.
Moreover, what Cang didn't say was that in order to avoid the volcanic eruption, they fled in the opposite direction of the misty forest. Therefore, the journey back to the misty forest is estimated to take seven days and seven nights longer.
Su Anan heard Anne and Dora talk about the big gathering before, which is similar to the market in China. Many orc tribes will gather in one place for item exchange in a certain period of time. In order to facilitate the active participation of the sea orc tribe, the big gathering is usually set on a certain coast.
According to Wen Lin, the crude salt of the Baka tribe is basically exchanged with the sea orcs in the form of animal skins.
Su An'an originally wanted to say that she might try to use seawater to make salt, but seeing that many tribesmen around her were paying attention to their conversation, she silently suppressed her words. People rejoice in vain.
Coarse salt can make females and cubs healthy and give males strength when hunting. Coarse salt is indeed very important, so Dora and other females stopped talking immediately, but their faces couldn't help showing The slightest gloomy color.
Seeing this, Su Anan pursed the corners of her lips, and suddenly asked: "Is the foggy forest and the big assembly in the same direction?"
Hearing this, Cang was taken aback for a moment, thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said: "The misty forest is to the north, and the big assembly is to the east. The two places are not in the same direction."
A flash of light flashed in Su An'an's mind, and he suggested decisively: "Cang, why don't we split into two groups?"
Cang frowned slightly, unable to understand what she said, and asked: "What does it mean that the soldiers are divided into two groups?"? "
Su An'an quickly explained: "It means we set off in two teams. Anyway, the misty forest and the big assembly are not in the same direction. We can let the salt-changing team go to the large assembly before the ice and snow melt, and the females and cubs will go to the big assembly. They wait for the ice and snow to melt completely before being escorted back to the misty forest by the males of the tribe."
Seeing that Cang frowned slightly and looked a little hesitant, Su An'an continued to persuade: "The misty forest is quite far away from here, even if we set off now, before we return to the misty forest, the ice and snow may have gradually melted.
? When the ice and snow melt, it is difficult to distinguish the real and the real on the road surface, and it is inconvenient to walk. Moreover, it is not the coldest time when it snows, but the coldest time is when the ice and snow melt. In addition, the sun will come out in the small rainy season. If the temperature difference between day and night is large, the females and cubs may be more likely to get sick. "
Seeing Cang frowning and hesitating in silence, Su Anan couldn't help asking in doubt: "Cang, what are you worried about?"
Seeing her puzzled look, thinking that she is also a pregnant female now, and thinking that there are several pregnant females in the tribe, and the number of females and cubs has increased greatly, Cang Xintou is really moved by her proposal, and he also hopes Those who can make the female and the cubs suffer less and feel more comfortable rushing back to the tribe.
Just thinking about the difficulties that will be encountered when the troops are divided into two groups, Cang couldn't help but sighed, and said frankly: "First, the amount of animal skins that the tribe now has is simply not enough to exchange for enough coarse salt for the entire tribe.
Secondly, the route we used to participate in the big rally has been changed for many years, and it has become relatively safer. If we set off here to go to the big rally, we are equivalent to taking a brand new route, which is too dangerous . "
Hearing this, Su An'an belatedly remembered that the Orc Continent was not a safe legal backyard, but an extrajudicial place full of danger and plunder everywhere. Tribal teams carried piles of animal skins and walked in unfamiliar It's like carrying a golden egg to swagger through the market. If you don't have enough strength, it's a very dangerous thing!
Su An'an pursed her lips, a little disappointment flashed in her eyes, she thought she was about to embark on a seaside trip!
Just at this moment, Benson suddenly said: "An An and I will also go to the big rally together!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
