Although Mu Shi was concentrating on making baskets, he listened carefully to the two children talking.
Hearing their heroic words, he also filled his eyes with hope, hoping that they could do it.
The adults are busy making various preparations. The cold season is approaching and the most difficult time is coming. They must be fully prepared.
Nowadays, every household has rat and rabbit babies, and just preparing hay for them in the cold season is no small matter.
The grassland to the west of Lin Yan's house was home to an immeasurable number of pikas and rabbits. She named it Pika Plain, and the grass on the edge was cut again and again.
The people in the tribe bundled the grass and carried it back to dry to become hay. They piled it into haystacks, which not only fed pikas and rabbits during the cold season, but also lit fires.
Now there are stacks of hay, firewood, simple stoves, various clay pots, etc. outside the entrance of every cave.
Seeing that various preparations were almost completed, everyone was overjoyed. This cold season should not be difficult to endure.
On this day, Lin Yan was teaching children how to read. A large slate was placed in front of her. She took a charcoal pen in her hand and wrote down neat lines.
These children have good brains. She writes twenty words every day and they can all remember it.
After several months of study, a lot has been accumulated, and everyone can master thousands of words.
Simple writing was no longer a problem. Lin Yan did not have a systematic learning plan, so he picked out some simple characters from the books in the science and technology museum and taught them.
The children had a strong thirst for knowledge and smart minds, and they learned quickly. Lin Yan taught them casually, basically including the names of things they come into contact with every day.
After these children learned it, they taught it to more people. Now everyone in the tribe can know a few words.
When a group of children were reading loudly along with Lin Yan, Maomu suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Run, the beasts are coming, run!"
The children were confused and didn't know how to react.
Lin Yan was also confused. What was a herd of beasts?
Mao Mu rushed over, picked up Lin Yan, picked up the wild buds with one hand, and yelled at the child who was still stunned: "Follow me, run quickly."
He shouted in the direction of home again: "Mom, come out quickly, hurry up, hurry up."
Mao Mu roared so loudly that everyone around him heard it and ran out immediately without delay.
Under his constant roar, people ran away in a hurry.
Adults are all familiar with the herd of beasts. When they heard about it, they immediately changed their colors and couldn't care about anything else.
Most of the children have never experienced it, but they have also heard about the horror of the herd.
He subconsciously followed Mao Mu, fearing that if he took a step too late, his life would be lost.
Maomu ran towards the tribe and shouted, "Run, the beasts are coming, run!"
Others were running and shouting.
No matter whether they were old or strong, they all burst out with unprecedented strength at this moment and ran as hard as they could.
As they ran, the distant rumbles got closer and closer.
The earth shook with great force, and the rumble was like thunder.
Lin Yan widened his eyes and stared at the direction of the sound, trying to see what it was.
The crowd was chaotic, moving through the woods, with the sounds of children crying and crazy roars all intertwined together.
At this moment, Lin Yan's mind was buzzing, and he was hugged by Mao Mu and ran away quickly.
Only ten minutes later, the herd of animals arrived.
Lin Yan's eyes widened as he watched the sturdy, fat and strong black bison running rampant, like thunder. Wherever it passes, vegetation splashes.
From time to time, bison trampled the caves on the ground and fell. The bison behind them charged and killed them, and the bison that fell to the ground was trampled until their flesh and blood were bruised.
Bloody riots and roars, she had never seen such shocking scenes with her own eyes. In front of the running cattle, people seem so insignificant.
At this time, they were hiding in a big banyan tree, watching the cattle swarming underneath.
At that time, they were busy running away, and when they saw the sound getting louder and louder, people climbed up trees to escape, and then they barely escaped.
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak out. The children were all stunned and stared blankly at a certain place.
After a day and a night, the herd began to slowly retreat.
The young men in the tribe went to investigate the situation, while the others stayed where they were and did not dare to move.
After waiting for a long time and making sure that the cattle were gone, people came out from their hiding places and burst into tears looking at their devastated homes.
They stayed in this place for five years and finally settled down. Who would have thought that the herd of cattle would come so suddenly and take people by surprise.
The newly built home was destroyed.
Lin Yan looked at it and saw that someone's cave had been trampled down, and the haystacks and stove they had originally built were shattered by the impact.
The ground is full of holes left by cattle walking, and there are big holes when you step down.
Domestic pikas and rabbits were trampled by cattle, leaving pieces of broken and bloody limbs all over the place. Some took the opportunity to escape, leaving nothing behind.
Everything was destroyed, nothing was left of the home they had worked so hard to build.
The more people look at it, the more they feel sad, their eyes full of sadness, and they cry loudly.
The food that I had finally saved was gone, my home was gone, and everything had to start from scratch.
Lin Yan felt very sad, tears welling up in her eyes. She never thought that everything would be destroyed so easily. Life was already difficult, and now it is even worse.
It is unknown how many people died who did not escape and how many were injured while trying to escape.
After the sadness, their stomachs growled, the children screamed, and the adults gradually cheered up and looked for food.
At this time, Lin Yan was shocked to realize that her mother-in-law didn't know where she was.
"Momu, where is my grandma?"
"Don't be afraid, I will take you to find A Niang." Mao Mu gently patted Lin Yan's back and looked for someone as he walked.
Huahong was looking for her daughter eagerly, with tears in her eyes. She was busy mowing the grass outside. When she heard the herds coming, she ran back quickly, but it was too late and she could only temporarily avoid the herds.
When the herd retreated and he was busy looking for his daughter, Huahong was very frightened and even hoped that his daughter would escape.
Lin Yan is so smart, he will definitely find a way.
When she met Mao Mu and saw Lin Yan, Huahong couldn't bear it anymore, hugged her daughter and burst into tears.
Scenes like this are everywhere.
This night, people gathered together and did not dare to sleep.
The adults formed a circle, surrounding the children in the center, and guarding the surroundings.
After a hard night, the sun rises and a new day comes, but people's nerves are still tense and they dare not relax.
No one knows if the cattle will come back.
Lin Yan also figured out that the cattle came towards the Sun River to drink water.
On this land, not only people need water, but animals also need it.
If they encounter a lone beast, people still have the strength to fight, and they can still run away even if they cannot fight. But if you encounter a large herd of animals like a herd of cattle, you can only run away in confusion.
This time we were lucky, the cattle were only for drinking water, and cattle are herbivores and not interested in people.
If you encounter carnivorous animals, people will be food, and it will be even more difficult to escape.
After a herd, the Sun Tribe suffered heavy losses.
