The heavy snow stopped briefly for half the afternoon, and then started to fall again. The heavy snow flying all over the sky covered the world in silver, and there were unique scenery on the mountains and rivers.
The wheat seedlings in the wheat field were covered with heavy snow, and there was not a trace of green in sight. The dead branches on the mountain were hung with streaks of silver ice.
Children like Asen, Yaya, and Ashuo didn't seem to feel the cold. After lunch, they had a snowball fight in the open field, made snowmen, and made various small animals according to their imaginations.
There was a different scene in the refining room. Yaohu, Dashi, and Jiang Li were shirtless, wielding hammers to make the iron sheets used to wrap the wheel hubs.
Yao Xiaoqing was frying pine nuts and roasting chestnuts with sugar in the canteen with Yun Amu and others. Shan Amu and Bao Amu, the captains of the collection team, suddenly became captains of the textile team.
There are more than twenty looms in the loom room, and there are even more spinning wheels. Some women weave cloth, some spin thread, and some make hemp. The newly married woman was teased by a group of old ladies and laughed mischievously.
In response, laughter continued in the loom room.
Half a month later, the Ning River, which had been running continuously after the heavy rain, also froze. Through the thick ice, you could see big fish swimming in the water.
Mufeng and Ah Xing, a group of men, carried engineering shovels and fishing nets and went to the river to cut through the ice to net fish. As soon as they cut through the ice, a big fish jumped onto the ice.
Everyone was busy picking up the fish into the wooden barrel. Mufeng pretended to accidentally hit Heiba, and Heiba slid away far away with a sizzling sound.
Hei Ba stood up with a grin on his face, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Mu Feng in three gliding steps, "Mu Feng, don't run away. How will I deal with you if I catch you?"
Mu Feng twisted his butt and said, "Come on, I'll wait for you here." Unexpectedly, his foot slipped and he fell far away.
"Hahaha..." Heiba and Zhi looked at him and laughed.
A group of people were laughing and joking, not even picking up fish, but chasing them back and forth on the ice.
Seeing them chasing each other like children who didn't care about the cold, Dayang smiled and shook his head. He picked up a big fish that jumped a few times and then disappeared, and threw it into the wooden barrel. He accidentally looked across the river and suddenly found a wild animal on the mountain.
Rushing down the mountain.
He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. He saw wild beasts, including goats and musk deer, all rushing down the mountain without any care.
He shouted in surprise and joy, "Look, there's a wild thing coming down the mountain on the other side."
"Such a good thing will happen!" Mu Feng and the others also stopped fighting and looked to the opposite side, only to see groups of wild animals on the opposite mountain running desperately down the mountain.
There were also wild animals that were unstable and rolled down the mountain. The snow on the cliff kept collapsing, raising waves of white mist.
Mufeng remembered that Youlu had told him about the last time there was an earthquake in the mountains, and he shuddered involuntarily, and his face changed.
"No, the wild animals are coming down the mountain. I'm afraid there will be an earthquake. Everyone, please go back to the tribe."
"Ah! Earthquake!"
A group of people stopped picking up fish, picked up buckets and shovels, and ran away.
After rushing to the gate of the tribe, Mu Feng said to Dayang: "Dayang, go tell Ah Hei and the others and ask them to close the courtyard gate."
"I got it!" Dayang ran towards the courtyard down the mountain, "Ah Hei, the wild animals have gone down the mountain. Everyone, please close the courtyard door and don't run out."
"Yes!" Ah Hei responded loudly and shouted back. People in the two courtyards ran out of the house separately, closed the courtyard door and bolted it with the door latch and the door bar.
After Dayang returned to the tribe, everyone closed the courtyard door. Mufeng quickly ran into the dining hall and pulled Yao Xiaoqing to the roof. Yun Amu and the others followed behind in panic.
When everyone went upstairs, they discovered that the wild animals had not crossed the river. Yao Xiaoqing looked from a distance and saw all kinds of large wild animals swimming back and forth at the foot of the opposite mountain. He could vaguely see wild animals everywhere in the middle of the opposite mountain.
figure of the object.
Mufeng shouted strangely: "What's wrong with Xiaoqing? They won't come over to the river."
Seeing the strange phenomenon on the other side, Yao Xiaoqing was also confused, "I don't know, let's ask Uncle Chun and the others if there is anything wrong with the livestock in the pen?"
She searched for such visions in her memory. In addition to earthquakes, what other natural disasters could there be? Is there a volcano on the other side? Before a volcano erupts, wild animals will also run away, looking for a safe area they can sense.
I hope there will be an earthquake on the opposite side. If there is a big volcano on the opposite side, once the volcano erupts, life will be even more difficult next year. Thinking of these, Yao Xiaoqing suddenly has a headache.
It seemed that God was deliberately playing against her. Now that she felt her life was getting better and she was looking forward to it, she thought she could save some food, but there were emergencies like this.
"I'll go, I can run fast." Heiba turned around and ran downstairs.
Yao Xiaoqing and Mu Feng also followed downstairs and arrived at the pen.
Achun and Agen were all shaking their heads, "There has been no movement these past few days, and the livestock are all safe and sound."
"It seems that there is something strange happening on the mountain opposite, and the wild animals are fleeing to a place where they feel safe." Yao Xiaoqing felt relieved, but the speculation about the volcanic eruption weighed on her mind.
Mufeng's eyes lit up after hearing this, "There are so many wild animals, let's go across the river to hunt them!"
Heiba and the others also nodded, "Let's go and ask people to hunt."
Yao Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped a few people, "Don't panic, take a look before talking. If the earthquake on the other side shakes the ice on the river, you won't be able to come back."
Mu Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back upstairs and take a look before we talk."
Yao Hu, Jiang Li and the others also went upstairs to the cafeteria. Yun Amu and the others were all looking across from the rooftop. Everyone was frightened when they saw the wild animals wandering back and forth down the mountain. The first thing they felt was that something was going to happen.
Jiang Li saw that Yao Hu and the others' expressions had changed, and comforted him: "The wild animals did not cross the river when they reached the bottom of the mountain, which proves that there is nothing wrong with us."
Yao Hu and Dashi felt that what Jiang Li said made sense, but they were still uneasy about the phenomenon they had never seen before.
When Yao Xiaoqing came back and told Yao Hu what she had discovered, and told them that there should be no earthquakes here, everyone felt relieved.
"It's okay, Eminem, let's go back, it's freezing upstairs."
Yun Amu nodded and went downstairs with Ayu and the others.
Jiang Li whispered to her: "Qing Wu, do you know what's going on?"
Yao Xiaoqing told him his guess, "... From today on, we have to reduce the food supply, just in case."
After hearing this, Jiang Li said: "If it is true, let's take advantage of the abundance of wild animals on the opposite side and hunt more wild animals back."
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "This is also a way." She turned back to Yao Hu and said, "Father, in case anything goes wrong, from today on, let's reduce one meal a day and save more food."
Yao Hu nodded, "Okay, you go tell Ayun and the others to get up early and eat later tomorrow."
Yao Xiaoqing went downstairs and told Yun Amu about reducing food. Everyone knew how powerful it was and all agreed.
