The leader of the sheep tribe was particularly happy. In fact, he had been very happy in the past few years.
But the happiest days are these two days.
Well, there are always two days every year that make everyone in the Sheep Tribe very excited.
Because this is their tribe's annual harvest time.
The leader of the sheep tribe and the people of the sheep tribe have been guarding here for several days.
So far, he has not seen the scene of those rushing and numerous sheep gathering together. Even so, he and other people in the tribe are still here waiting patiently.
Because they firmly believe that those sheep will definitely come.
This belief is not unfounded, but these sheep have been passing here every year over the years, and they have never missed their promise.
It is necessary to come in advance and wait, because when these large-scale sheep herds pass by, they will usually be completely over in less than a day.
If they stopped guarding here in advance, a huge harvest that was extremely important to the tribe would most likely be missed.
Not far away from them, there were some huge grizzly bears, wolves and other such things.
These extremely ferocious guys gathered together at this time, and there was no conflict. They were all waiting here quietly, like a group of guests waiting for the official opening of a banquet.
There are not too many people from the Sheep Tribe guarding here. In fact, there are even fewer people than before.
This is because many people in the tribe stay with the tribe to take care of the tribe's sheep.
The sheep in the tribe are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people to take care of them. This was originally a happy thing, but now for the people of the sheep tribe who are about to have a feast, these sheep
But it has become a burden to happiness.
Drive the tribe's sheep here, and then wait until the migrating sheep arrive, and everyone will join in. This kind of thing has been done by the leader of the sheep tribe in the past.
However, the effect was not good. When the migrating sheep passed by, all the domesticated sheep in the tribe, except those tied to the trees with ropes, ran away with the migrating sheep.
Ever since that experience, the leader of the Sheep Tribe has never done anything like this again.
After all, it still takes a lot of time and effort to make the newly caught sheep more obedient.
Moreover, although the population of the sheep tribe has increased a lot over the years, the increase has been mostly babies. After the sheep flock has reached a certain size, the first batch of babies born are only four years old now.
It takes a long time for these children to grow up from birth to adulthood, and they also need to walk a long way.
The two things combined resulted in not many people from the sheep tribe coming to hunt this time.
"¥!"
A man from the sheep tribe pointed to the other side of the river and warned everyone.
This voice interrupted the thoughts of the leader of the Sheep Tribe. He raised his head and followed the crowd, with a look of joy on his face.
Also reacting at the same time were the big guys waiting around. They all seemed lazy before and now stood up, looking particularly alert and aggressive.
However, no matter how ferocious they are, the sheep that used to run away when they saw them are still running forward without fear at all.
Because in the eyes of the sheep, this is just a very ordinary journey, no different from the previous and subsequent journeys.
These creatures waiting on the river bank are not the first predators, nor will they be the last.
When the first wet sheep swam across the river and landed on the river bank, the feast that the predators had been waiting for for a long time began...
The galloping sheep gradually moved away, and the predators that had feasted walked away with lazy steps and round bellies, licking the blood from the corners of their mouths and picking their teeth.
Some dark red bloodstains and remaining skeletons were left on this land, as well as some scavenger birds with not very strong hunting abilities, chirping and noisy here, happily eating some leftovers.
The leader of the sheep tribe and the people of the sheep tribe, who were covered in blood, also had smiles on their faces at this time.
After using the stick in their hands to blow open the head of a big bird that had the audacity to come to them to cut off its beard, the people of the sheep tribe, led by the leader of the sheep tribe, carried the slow harvest with their tired bodies and cherished extraordinary expectations.
The excitement began and the triumphal journey began.
These captured sheep were very pitiful. Those with minor injuries were tied with ropes and led forward.
Not only that, there were also some small, killed sheep cakes tied to their backs.
After returning to the tribe, I and others can eat a lot of mutton with ease.
After eating, have a good sleep, whatever you think about it, it will make you feel comfortable.
The leader of the sheep tribe had already planned that after waking up and having a good meal, he would lead his people to carry some sheep that were too late to eat and go to the wealthy neighboring tribe to exchange for some more salt and store it.
In addition to the salt, some of those small yellow fruits also need to be exchanged.
After the small fruit is boiled in a clay pot, it is extremely comfortable to eat with mutton...
Near the cave of the sheep tribe, the people who stayed in the tribe were holding pointed sticks tied with ropes, which could be used for hunting and killing some wild beasts, and could also be used to drive the sheep away.
The flock of sheep in the tribe.
These people are basically people who are not very strong, with some underage people mixed in among them.
They stood here separately, gathering the sheep.
Surrounded by them, the sheep grazed quietly. If any sheep tried to cross the circle and go elsewhere, the herder would beat it with a rope tied to a stick in his hand.
They had deliberately left these grasses behind so that the people who stayed in the tribe could graze their sheep near the tribe during these few days without having to go too far.
This is a solution that the sheep tribe people came up with to solve the safety problem of the tribe and the sheep after experiencing several incidents where strong men in the tribe went to capture the sheep during this season.
The leader and the others should be back soon, right?
Someone was grazing and looked up into the distance...
"¥gr?"
The leader of the Sheep Tribe, who was leading people forward with full harvests and visions of future happiness, suddenly stopped and looked towards a place, his eyes full of vigilance and uncertainty.
Everyone in the Sheep Tribe who heard him stopped at this time and looked towards the east together with the leader of the Sheep Tribe.
