Mrs. Wu Ya quickly put away the expression on her face, frowned and said, "Have someone come in and give you a reply!"
Soon, the Dilu people who had just come out of the snow cave stood in front of Mrs. Wuya.
After everyone bowed, Mrs. Wuya said nervously: "Wudan, who are those people, and why did they appear in Dongshan?"
Dongshan is the east side of the valley where the Wuda tribe is located. It is not in the direction of the Mida Valley. It stores a large amount of hay necessary for cattle and sheep. It is considered the tribe's rear area.
Although no patrols were deployed, sentries were left at various strategic points.
Now that someone suddenly touched me there, how could I not be anxious?
Wu Dan is a boy who is only twelve or thirteen years old.
Now the tribe is short of manpower, and even young men have to guard the mountain pass in the snow.
Although he is young, he is smart and clever. He hides under the snow during the day, which not only keeps him secret, but also keeps his body temperature from frostbite.
Seeing that his wife was anxious, Wu Dan hurriedly said: "I only saw four people, three of whom were from the Wu Dynasty and one was from the Di tribe. They spoke Wu Dynasty dialect.
Through the snow, I only heard something like he was looking for something. One of the men said: "Is it the wrong direction? We are not in Kara Mountain."
Another woman's voice said, if you can't find anyone today, you can continue tomorrow. Time waits for no one, and if you delay any longer, it will be too late!"
There was silence in the tent for a moment. No one could figure out how these men and women could appear in Kara Mountain and look for someone.
Are you looking for your own Uda tribe?
The beggar mother covered her chest and coughed a few times before saying, "Can you tell how old that woman is? What accent does she have? Could it be a tribe around Kara Mountain?"
Wudan thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't tell! There is no grassland around Kara Mountain, so there should be no tribes stationed there."
At that time, Wu Dan was hiding in a snow cave, and the sound coming through was blurry. Moreover, he didn't know much about the Wu Dynasty dialect. He could only hear those two sentences clearly by opening a small opening.
Mrs. Wu Ya said in a deep voice: "Don't think too much. We must send someone over to check immediately. If the other party attempts to resist, just kill him directly without bringing him back."
There are no long-term hunters in Kala Mountain. The people who appear now may only be from outside. They are in an important place in Dongshan. They are confidential and cannot be ignored.
Mrs. Wu Ya would rather be accidentally injured than miss it.
The beggar didn't say anything anymore. She felt that she might be old and confused and overthinking!
After receiving the order, the tribe's remaining war department, led by Wu Dan, led a few people and hurried straight to the Dongshan forage yard.
There were men and women among these people, and Yuquan was among them.
Nowadays, all the young and strong men in the tribe are away fighting, leaving mostly the old, weak and women behind. Girls like Yuquan also have to be used as fighting force.
It was dark in the valley, and seeing heavy snowfall at night, Wudan led Yuquan and other tribesmen on foot to the mountains. By the time they found the four outsiders, it was already dark.
In the cold winter of more than ten degrees below zero, a few torches illuminated the snow, and a few deep traces stretched into the distance.
Snowflakes were flying now, and Wu Dan and others did not dare to stop, fearing that the mark would be submerged by the snow, so they hurriedly followed the tracks made by the sled, one foot deep and one shallow, one foot at a time.
Over at the campground, Song Liyun, who had a busy day, wandered around in other places, shot a few pheasants, and just returned from hunting a spotted deer.
She left the prey to Lao Qian and the others and went back to the hut.
Lao Qian, who stayed in the camp, had already heated hot water in both rooms.
Song Dekui soaked his feet in the hot water and groaned in comfort. He glanced at Song Liyun and said, "Hey! This damn place is really cold. I don't know how these Di people survive year after year without freezing to death. Alas!
Xiaoyun, you...are you really going to marry here, in this place?"
Yunzhou is a place of bitter cold, and the Dilu Grassland is even colder. As a Yunzhou native, he can hardly stand it.
Song Liyun smiled and said nothing, secretly thinking that compared with the increasingly severe climate change in the decades before the end of the world, these were already days like heaven.
At least the snow is white, pure and clean, and you can eat it as you like.
At least it's cold when it should be cold, hot when it should be hot, and there's no extreme cold or heat that happens once in a century.
There is no capriciousness that causes snow to fall in the summer and warm sunshine in the winter.
At least... there are no leaking nuclear wastewater, mutated organisms, and weird viruses.
After the pheasants were put away, Song Liyun took out some dried vegetables and mushrooms, stewed acorn vermicelli into a delicious chicken soup, and soaked it in pancakes to make a delicacy.
Everyone devoured it.
Today was the first time for everyone to ski, and everyone was so tired that their backs ached.
Bahrain, who grew up on a horse, lay on the mat early and didn't want to move. He even only took a few mouthfuls of chicken soup.
In the middle of the night, the snow came thicker and heavier, and the wind blew through the woods, filled with howling ghosts and wolves.
At this time, Yuquan and his party finally reached the outskirts of the cabin camp.
They kept following the traces left by Song Liyun, but on the way back, Song Liyun was hunting and running around in the mountains.
The chaotic footsteps not only made Yuquan and the others dizzy, they also lost track of them several times and had to follow them around in the mountains before they found their target.
Seeing the strange house that suddenly appeared in the forest, the exhausted Udabe people were all stunned.
When was there a house here? How long have you been here? I checked it out myself.
The clansman in charge of Dongshan looked pale.
It is not far from the valley where the tribe is located. If we go directly, it will only take two hours, and it is even closer to Dongshan where the fodder is stored.
Everyone raised the knife.
For such a dangerous person to appear in the most important place of the tribe, it must be someone with bad intentions.
Madam has said that if something is wrong, she must be killed immediately.
A few people walked through the snow towards the cabin camp. They were all wearing sheepskins and were covered in snowflakes. They were integrated with the earth and became a natural camouflage. They could not be spotted unless they got close.
In the corner of the wooden house, three air-dead wind lanterns emitted a dim light. Although it was not very bright in the heavy snow, it was enough for people to see clearly about a foot away from the house.
The presence of such a light source in the dark night can create a sense of fear in both humans and animals.
This was also added specially by Song Liyun to ensure safety after encountering a wolf on the way.
Keeping three lamps on all night is a very luxurious act.
Yuquan and others felt the same way when they looked at these three lanterns: they were too extravagant, not like the work of a prairie tribe.
The lighting used in tribes is generally made of tallow candles. Although the flame is large, the smoke produced is also large, and the burning time is also short, so the wick needs to be constantly changed.
The three lights in front of me have soft and stable light, and the most important thing is that there is no smoke.
There was a light in front of the house, and Yuquan and others did not dare to approach it. They could only hide in the dim snow, waiting for the lights to burn out.
As time passed, the cold air entered the body, and Yuquan felt that his body was about to freeze.
The leading clan soldier couldn't bear it any longer and rushed towards the cabin with his knife in hand.
But he had just taken a few steps into the light when Yuquan behind him saw a rope spring up in the snow, like a poisonous snake, twisting the man's legs into the snow and dragging him along.
"Ah!" The terrified cry instantly broke the tranquility of the snow-capped mountains.
