The weather was getting colder and colder, and the rain stopped and stopped for more than half a month. When the water almost reached the base of the wall, the heavy rain stopped.
Everyone was relieved to see that the rain had passed and the sky had cleared up. Little did they know that the water in the river was still rising. It rose until the wall was nearly one meter deep, and then it began to recede.
Only then did everyone feel that they had made the right decision to build houses at the foot of the mountain without trying to save trouble.
After the flood receded, a lot of silt accumulated under the west wall, and a lot of sugar cane was washed down by the flood. Ada took Ah Hei and thirty or forty men to clean up the silt, while Ada took the lead to chop the sugar cane.
Ah Zhongbo and the others were busy getting out of the kiln. After picking out the tiles, they found that a small part was broken, but the rest were still usable.
Some men of the tribe were busy cutting sugar cane, while others were busy building walls. Yao Xiaoqing and several old ladies went to the fields to inspect the grains.
She pulled off an ear of grain and found that it was all flat. The same thing happened when she pulled down another ear of grain. After walking along the field for a long time, she found that it was all flat and empty.
Several old ladies looked at a large field of millet and shed tears of distress.
Yao Xiaoqing comforted Shan's mother, "Don't cry, mother. These millet grains are gone, and we still have other food. While these millet stalks are still tender, cut them back to make fodder for the livestock."
Shan'am wiped away his tears and said, "You are right, cut it back and feed it to the livestock."
Douzi suddenly thought of the chestnuts in the mountains, "Qingwu, the chestnuts from the Shenmu tribe are ripe. Let's go into the mountains to pick chestnuts."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "You go back and let me bring dozens of people over to take a look."
"Okay!" Douzi turned around and ran towards the tribe.
After a while, Mufeng and Xiongniu led thirty or forty men, led the cattle and held sacks, and left the tribe and walked up the mountain. When they went up the mountain, they saw that the thatch covering the wooden shed on the mountain had been blown off by the strong wind.
Mu Feng sighed, "No one will come to the market in autumn. We will repair it when we get back."
Zhi nodded, "Yes! It has been raining for so long, and the tribes in the mountains still don't know how to survive?"
The bull shook his head, "I don't know, one side of the cave where the food is stored has collapsed. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the tribes on the mountain."
A group of people were talking in a hurry and rushed towards the Shenmu tribe.
****
In the Wuxian tribe, some warriors and women who were seriously injured did not make it through, so everyone sent the dead tribesmen for burial.
The woman from Shishan held her dead little son in her arms and refused to let go.
Looking at his dead son, Shi Shan lost more than a dozen pounds in just ten days.
Just after burying the dead tribesmen, the continuous heavy rain caused flash floods, and the water flooded the open space where Shishan and his friends lived.
Shishan took his people and fled to a slightly higher place. Looking at the few hundred remaining tribesmen, thinking of the tribesmen who were crushed to death and buried alive in the cave, he knelt down and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, the other tribesmen couldn't stop their tears from flowing down, and there was a cry of sorrow on the slope.
You Lu clenched his fists and looked at Shishan, who was crying and crying, and his tears kept falling.
Before the earthquake, the wild animals all ran to this side from the mountains to the east. Everyone felt happy and hunted, but unexpectedly it was a precursor to disaster. I wonder what happened to the tribes in the mountains to the east now.
Now the cave where the tribe lives has collapsed, and the open space in front of the cave has turned into a large pond.
You Lu pulled up Shishan who was crying and said, "Father, we can't live in the mountains anymore. Let's move to the Ning River and find a place to live!"
Shishan looked at him with tears in his eyes, "Let's live by the Ninghe River. We don't know how to build a house!"
His salt supply is gone, and there are still so many young and old in the tribe. Winter has come, and there is only so much food left. How will the tribe live in the future?
You Lu looked at him and said, "Let's build a wooden tent to live in first, catch prey next year, and trade them with food."
Axing looked at the hesitant Shi Shan and said, "Father, brother is right. We have no place to live now. We can only go to the Ning River to find a place to live."
"The Ning River is so wide. Let's find a place to live farther away from the Yaoshan tribe. The Yaohu leader and the Green Witch Association have agreed."
Shi Shan lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at You Lu, "Let's go! This is the only way at hand."
You Lu turned to look at the tribe and shouted loudly: "The warriors will carry the food and animal skins, the strong women and old uncles will carry the children on their backs, and the others will carry the pots and wooden bowls on their backs. Let's set off."
"yes!"
The tribesmen all took action and packed their belongings. Ah Xing held Da Amu's hand, You Lu supported Shi Shan, and You Lu's woman carried her child on her back. A group of people came down from the mountain and walked in the direction of Ninghe River.
All I could see were collapsed mountains and big trees lying in front of me. The familiar trails had disappeared, and some places had turned into deep streams.
The rotten soil in the mountain forest was so muddy that it was soaked with water. It was full of mud when you stepped on it. Only then did everyone realize that the way out of the mountain was not that easy.
The original two-day journey took six or seven days to complete. Along the way, we met several small tribes migrating abroad. It turned out that everyone wanted to migrate to the Ning River. Everyone got together and walked out together.
When passing by Qiu Shan, Shi Shan discovered that Da Wu's residence was similar to that of Wuxian.
I saw that they all moved to the big market outside and built more than a dozen sheds in a higher part of the market. A group of people huddled in front of the shed in disgrace.
Seeing Da Ma wrapped in animal skins and sitting there blankly, the big stone weighing on Shishan's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he became extremely happy.
Pulling Yulu's sleeves, "Look, that old guy Da Ma is even worse than us."
You Lu turned his head and took a look, then looked at his group, and felt that there was no difference.
Da Ma felt that someone was looking at him. He looked up and saw Shishan and his clansmen looking embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment, then grinned.
Shishan didn't care, he only cared about himself.
You Lu looked at Shishan, which suddenly became lively, and asked funnyly: "Father, the great witch is just like us, are you so happy?"
"Happy!" Shishan's sallow face smiled like a blooming yellow chrysanthemum, "He is not happy, and I am happy."
After hearing this, You Lu thought for a moment and nodded with a smile, "Yes, he is unhappy, so we should be happy."
When Da Ma saw Shi Shan and his people walking down the mountain, he turned around and entered the hut and said to Wu, "Wu, that old guy Shi Shan has moved away with his people."
Wu looked gloating, "I saw it. It seems that Wu Xian is the same as us. No, their losses are even greater. If there is no salt to exchange for food in the future, how will he feed so many people?"
Da Ma's face turned gloomy when he thought of what he had just seen, "It looks like they are migrating to the west. Are they going to move to the Ning River?"
After hearing this, Wu walked outside the hut, looked at the direction they were walking, and turned around and said, "I heard they formed an alliance with the Yaoshan tribe, so they should be moving there."
