Different from the common free-running and walking deer of this era, most of these deer are pulling a wooden frame, and some of them have people sitting on them who are tired of walking.
Mao was sitting on one of the sledges. He could move forward even while sitting still. This way of traveling made Mao extremely curious, and he was as curious as a child.
In fact, before traveling, Mao was already prepared to endure hardships and hardships.
Before the snow melted, he took people to carry goods and went out for trade. He had done this more than once before joining the Qingque tribe.
It is true that you will gain enough, but it is also true that you will suffer.
Some people in the tribe had their toes frozen off after walking like this.
This is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that sometimes after walking for a long time, the eyes will become red, swollen and uncomfortable, and they will always shed tears, and sometimes they will not be able to see clearly.
He was ready to endure these hardships again, but after following the team out, he discovered that things were completely different from what he thought.
Frozen toes will no longer happen because they wear thick fur socks and warm shoes on the outside.
The hats on their heads, gloves on their hands, and antifreeze cream protected their sensitive areas that were prone to freezing.
Not only do you no longer have to carry things on your back, you can also sit on the sledge and let the deer pull you when you are tired.
As for the eyes becoming red, swollen and dry after walking for a long time, it no longer happens.
Because before leaving, the Son of God gave everyone a piece of gray-brown linen to cover their eyes.
At the beginning, Mao didn't know the intention of the Son of God, and didn't understand why people should be covered with linen cloth dyed with smelly mud.
Because it is really uncomfortable to see things with such linen cloth covering your eyes, and it affects your vision.
However, after walking for a few days, such doubts completely disappeared, because his eyes were not as red, swollen and uncomfortable as before.
This wasn't what surprised Mao the most. What surprised him the most was the snow houses.
If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would never believe that these snow houses made of snow and tents could be so warm.
Recalling that when he took people out in the snow before, he only put hay and animal skins under his body, and also covered his body with animal skins and hay, Mao felt very cold now.
Compared with traveling during the current snow season, my previous behavior of taking people out was too crude.
As dusk fell, the team stopped.
The tent was set up, and Mao and some other people skillfully piled snow on the tent.
Tietou and others who came out quickly started a fire with firewood loaded on the sledge.
Some of these firewood were brought from the tribe when we set out, and the other part were dead branches picked up in the snow on the way.
This small gesture saves the tribe from the hard work of searching for firewood after camping.
The large vat was set up and filled with the snow that can be seen everywhere this season.
As the flame burned, a lot of warm water gradually burned out.
The people in the warm water tribe did not use it first, but put some salt in it and drank it (yin four sounds, verb) to the deer in the tribe.
Dozens of sledges gathered around and formed a circle, surrounding the deer and the tents where people lived.
After drinking the warm soup and driving away the chill from my body, it was getting dark.
On a night covered with heavy snow, it won't get very dark because the white snow will reflect the surrounding area whiter.
A few people were left to watch the night, while the rest of the people got into the snow houses they had built and went to sleep.
Mao was assigned to stay until midnight tonight, so he crawled into the snow house no slower than the others.
Lying in the warm snow house, swaying beautifully, changing into a comfortable position, and praising the usefulness of the snow house for a while, Mao soon fell into a dream.
There was silence all around, where the deer rested quietly, and sometimes snorted a few times.
Following the blessings that came out, they also lay down by the fire or cuddled up with the deer and began to sleep.
After spending a long time with others, the schedules of Fu Jiang and these guys are obviously a little disordered.
Beside the fire, several night watchmen sat there quietly warming themselves by the fire. No one had any desire to speak.
Time passed by minute by second, and this silence continued. Just when everyone thought that this silence would continue until dawn, this silence was unexpectedly interrupted.
The silence was interrupted by a roar from a tiger.
The roar of the tiger occurred extremely suddenly, without any warning.
The few people sitting there watching the night were surprised. They picked up the weapons at hand and held them in front of them. Then they looked around nervously with panic, looking for the source of the tiger's roar.
The quiet deer suddenly became panicked, and many deer quickly stood up from the ground and screamed uneasily.
If these deer had not been in contact with people for a long time and were all tied up, they would have spread their hooves and scattered around.
Fu Jiang and his descendants felt threatened. These guys in the tribe, who would be kicked in the butt by Han Da Shenzi for nothing, showed their ferocious side at this time.
One by one, they pressed their front paws to the ground, lowered their bodies, shrank back slightly, their hair stood up, and made low demonstration calls toward the left and rear of the temporary camp.
"Get up! Get up!"
Among the few people watching the night, someone reacted and shouted loudly to the sleeping people.
The people in the snow house were woken up one after another. After a brief period of confusion, those who reacted quickly began to get out of it with weapons in hand.
The tiger's roar continued, but it was not majestic, but rather tragic.
The toughness of the primitive people was undoubtedly revealed at this time. After experiencing a brief panic, the several night watchmen not only did not run around, but after identifying where the tiger was, they held weapons and headed there.
go.
After getting away from the fire, their vision immediately became clearer and they could see farther away.
Not far from where the deer were, a rather large guy was swinging there, roaring as it swayed, and it seemed like it was heading towards the outskirts of the camp.
Four night watchmen, one carrying a big shield and three carrying long bronze swords, ran over.
Because they remembered that before dark, the leader led his people to pull a strong rope around the camp and inserted long bamboo thorns sharpened with a copper knife into the snow nest near the rope.
The tips of those bamboo thorns are all burnt black in deep-fried oil, making them extremely sharp.
At this time, this guy has obviously been tricked, otherwise he would not have exposed his whereabouts without pounced on the prey.
If the sneak attack fails, the tiger will be wounded all over. If it misses a hit, it will have to endure the pain and run away quickly.
As a result, I found that something was already coming from behind.
This guy turned his head and started roaring loudly, and showed his teeth and claws to catch the guy who came over, hoping to use this method to scare these damn big monkeys away.
In the past, this method was always successful, and almost no animals dared to ignore such a threatening gesture.
But it was obviously different tonight. Its threat not only failed to scare away the big monkeys that came, but these big monkeys also stabbed three sharp long swords at it...
The fire around the camp became bigger, and next to the fire lay a big guy with a color similar to snow, with its fur stained red with blood.
The eldest brother and others looked at the dead ferocious guy, and at the same time they felt happy and felt a strong sense of self-confidence.
In the past, they had always avoided such big guys, but now, with the traps taught by the Son of God and the sharp bronze weapons, they can easily kill the beings that they did not dare to provoke easily before!
After watching for a while, the senior brother asked people to cover the blood stains with snow to avoid attracting other beasts.
It is true that they are powerful now, but with sufficient food, the eldest brother does not want to lead people to fight against too many ferocious beasts. After all, their main purpose of coming this time is to mine copper and tin mines.
However, this night was destined not to be too peaceful. Just after the commotion caused by the tiger's surprise attack subsided, a new danger appeared, a danger much more terrifying than the tiger!
