Chapter 74 Disaster
Every week, Wu Nuo has to teach the kids six days, with one day off on weekends. In the cold winter, the sky brightens late and gets dark early. It doesn't get light until about ten o'clock every morning, and it starts to get dark after four o'clock in the afternoon.
The people of the Changhe Tribe are used to working and resting at sunrise, especially in the cold winter. In the past, there was little food. In order to reduce consumption, everyone spent almost half of the day sleeping, even though this year the tribe no longer has to worry about food. , Everyone still hasn't changed the habit they have been developing all along. Go to bed early as soon as it gets dark, and sleep until dawn before getting up.
In previous years, there was almost nothing for everyone to do in the cold winter, and most of the short days were spent in sleep.
This year, the kids will go to class on time at 11:00 in the morning and leave school on time at 4:00 in the afternoon. There are 4 classes a day, each class lasts for 1 hour, and there is a 20-minute break after each class. The kids can rest or be together Go to the toilet.
Forced to push the ducks to the shelves, Wu Nuo also summed up some experience as a teacher for a period of time-leaving the context, simply teaching children to read, the children learn slowly, forget quickly, and the learning progress is slow.
No way, Wu Nuo could only rack his brains and make up some simple and interesting stories, write them on the parchment scrolls, and tell the children word for word in class.
The children are always full of curiosity and questions, and they often ask Wu Nuo the details of the story. Some questions are easy to answer, some questions can be fooled by Wu Nuo's nonsense, and some questions can't be answered by Wu Nuo anyway. -
For example, if the fruit falls on the ground because of gravity, what is gravity? Don't the devils live deep underground?
For another example, the change of day and night is due to the rotation and revolution of the planet. Will the planet rotate? Why has it never felt like this? Wait, what is a planet? Can I eat it?
There are too many questions like this, and Wu Nuo gets stuck every time. He is just a street vendor with a junior high school culture, not an omniscient university professor. Grave egg (╯‵口′)╯︵┻ ━┻ Whenever asked by cute and nasty little bastards about being stuck and not fooling around, Wu Nuo said that when they grow up, if they have the opportunity to go to the Yanhuang tribe in the future, the knowledgeable and wise men there will be able to give them answers.
The kids who have become more and more fond of asking questions asked again, is there any question in this world that a wise man can't answer?
Wu Nuo told them firmly, of course, everything in the world is changing rapidly, and even the most powerful wise man can't answer it. The answer to the question is that even God is not truly omnipotent.
The simplest reason is that God cannot create a boulder that he cannot move.
Be curious and awe-inspiring about everything in the world, and have your own opinions in everything but not stubbornness. Don't be superstitious about the so-called authority. There are no fixed answers in the world, and there is no eternally correct truth.
Wu Nuo may not be able to teach these children too advanced knowledge theories, but the principles he taught them are enough for them to benefit from if they understand them thoroughly. Lifetime.
Although Wu Nuo has many questions that he cannot really answer for the children, in the eyes of the youngsters, Wu Nuo already knows much more than their parents. The wise men of the Yanhuang tribe are too far away. Nuo is already the most intelligent person in their hearts, just like the big witch.
But compared to the big witch, of course, the kids prefer Wu Nuo who is good-looking and wants to be close to people when he smiles. Whoever is bullied in class Wu Nuo personally praised him, and he would be proud for a long time. If Wu Nuo patted his head and patted his shoulder, he would be so excited that there would be a smirk on his face for several days.
You Bai stared fiercely at the side, and the brats could only make excuses Asking questions is the only way to get close to Wu Nuo. After seeing a few orc cubs taking the opportunity to act like a baby to Wu Nuo, Bai simply turned into a fat cat cub, domineeringly perched on Wu Nuo's shoulders, with ice blue eyes condescending and fierce Staring at the orc cubs, it's good that the cubs are not scared and crying, how dare they show their soft belly?
The furious orc cubs often complain to their parents when they go home, but unfortunately their parents can't beat Bai, and the disappointed cubs can only hope that when they grow up, they will fight against the hateful winged tiger Bai .
The cubs are afraid of Bai, but behind their fear is no worship. They regard Bai as a goal to fight for. When they grow up and find that no matter how hard they fight, it is impossible to defeat the winged tiger Bai. It will be transformed into surrender, willing to be driven.
One after another, Wu Nuo wrote many simple short stories in Chinese characters. The children often took home the parchment scrolls that recorded the stories, and told them word by word to their parents, brothers and sisters who were overage or underage. As a result, more and more people in the tribe can speak a few simple Chinese, and some can even write a few simple Chinese characters.
The cubs stayed in the school to eliminate illiteracy, and they stayed for a whole day, and the time passed very quickly.
The adults are not as idle as in previous years.
Wu Nuo drew the blueprint of the wooden bow obtained from the task of 'teaching the method of marinating and smoking meat' on the sheepskin scroll, and asked Xing to follow the blueprint.
Everyone tossed for a long time, and Xing first made a piece of wood and dragon tendon that was rough in appearance, but the proportion and performance tended to be perfect. Flying tens of meters away, he plunged into the wooden stake hard, three points into the wood.
Xing tried again with the prey raised at home, and after firing a few arrows, the wooden arrow pierced the meat bird's neck, and the meat bird thumped twice, dying completely.
Stars hunt all year round, how can they not know the beauty of bows and arrows? Immediately took the finished bow and arrow to find Da Wu and his father Jin Tong, and after personally demonstrating the power of the bow and arrow to them, the two applauded repeatedly.
Hardwood is a special kind of tree in the Black Forest. It grows very slowly, but the wood is extremely hard, but compared with iron, it must be inferior, and the power of bows and arrows has weakened. But the big witch didn't mind at all, the hardness was not enough, and the witch medicine came to make up.
Put witch medicine (poison) on the arrow, as long as the arrow can break the skin of the prey (enemy), it can stun and kill it (them).
In this way, the long-range lethality of the fighters can be greatly improved, which is especially significant for pure human fighters.
After he succeeded, he immediately became the technical consultant of the tribe. Everyone tossed him with the semi-finished products they tossed out. After repeated tossing, almost every family of the tribe's residents had a wooden bow.
Bows alone are not enough, arrows are consumables, the more the better. Taking advantage of the sunny weather, everyone went to the forest to cut a lot of hardwood and came back. Usually, they stayed at home and slowly polished wooden arrows with stone tools.
The stone tools are blunt, and the hardwood is hard. It usually takes more than a day for one person to polish a wooden arrow. Although the efficiency is low, it cannot support the whole tribe to act together, and the accumulated quantity is quite considerable.
Most of the people who polish the wooden arrows are men. The long nights and the lack of recreational activities have nothing else to do except make human beings. In just two or three months, most of the women of the right age in the tribe have cubs.
In recent years, the situation of the tribe has been bad. The women have given birth to many cubs one after another, but many of them died in the cold winter, starving to death, sickness and freezing, and the cubs are becoming more and more Fewer and more precious.
Some females have been looking for several years, but there is not even a single surviving cub. Now the female is finally pregnant again, and has a house that is sheltered from wind and snow, and there is endless food in the cellar. , there is no need to worry that the cubs will not be able to support them after they are born. Men who are eager to continue their bloodlines can't wait to give up their females. How can they be willing to let them do any work?
Unknowingly, it has been almost three months since we entered the cold winter. At this time in previous years, the snow is getting smaller and smaller every day. After another month or so, the snow will start to melt, the weather will gradually warm up, and the earth will return to spring. The most difficult year The time passed slowly, and the new year started again.
This year, there is no sign of recovery at all. Instead of reducing the storm, the storm is getting bigger every day.
Dawu predicted that the situation in this cold winter would not be optimistic, but he did not expect that the situation would be so bad.
Thanks to white sweet potatoes and salted vegetables and meat, the tribes don't need to worry about food for the time being, but the situation of other tribes may not be so optimistic.
Dawu has lived to this age, and knows better than anyone else that if a person is hungry and crazy, he can do absolutely anything.
The Horde has to prepare.
The situation of other tribes was even worse than Da Wu had guessed.
Day after day of heavy snowfall, only a small number of cave-dwelling tribes were less affected. Other tribes who used to build houses with stones, wood, animal skins, etc., more than half of their houses were destroyed by the blizzard, and they froze to death in the extreme cold. Many people. There are also people who are driven into desperation and find that they can build igloos with ice and snow, barely resisting the raging storm.
As early as more than a month ago, many small and medium-sized tribes ran out of food one after another. In order to survive, some tribes began to plunder neighboring tribes. Weaker targets such as slaves, females, and children...
While the people of the Changhe tribe are warm and happy, have no shortage of food and drink, and wholeheartedly look forward to the arrival of new life, tragedies are happening in the tribes around the forest every day. .
Many weak tribes either disappeared directly or were annexed by other tribes. The soft-boned orcs were incorporated, and the hard-boned orcs were directly killed. The lucky pure people were reduced to slaves, and the unlucky ones were directly turned into food.
In order to survive, some tribes had to seek refuge with the big tribes. However, the situation of the valley tribes and pastoral tribes, which did not worry much about the cold winter in previous years, was not so good this year.
The extremely cold weather caused the warm lakes in the valley tribe to freeze for the first time, snow fell in the valley, a large number of plants died, and the number of animals that entered the valley to escape the cold was far less and thinner than in previous years. The people of the valley tribes, who rarely prepare for the cold winter, finally tasted the taste of hunger and cold.
A large number of houses of the Muyuan tribe were destroyed by the snowstorm. After many people died of freezing, they lived in the igloo. Compared with other tribes, the Muyuan tribe has a little better food, and they don't have to experience the taste of hunger and cold. However, the cold winter did not end for a long time. Facing the tribes that came to seek refuge, even if the Muyuan tribe wanted to accept them, they were powerless.
Driven crazy by hunger, in order to grab a little food, they became extremely fierce. Even facing the most powerful pastoral tribe, they dared to fight fiercely.
The residents of the Muyuan tribe are scattered on the grasslands, and they are thousands of meters away from their nearest neighbors. Coupled with the fact that the sight is blocked by the storm, the people living on the outskirts of the tribe have become the best targets for outsiders.
The Muyuan tribe was so disturbed that they gradually began to think of misfortune.
The situation of the Dashi tribe in the cursed land was extremely bad as early as a month ago. The tribe's location was remote and barren, and there were no tribes around for them to plunder.
The leader of the Dashi tribe had to send fighters to other tribes for help.
The Valley Tribe and the Muyuan Tribe became their first choice for help, and the Changhe Tribe was the closest to them, and they were barely included in the list of help targets.
