Chapter 208
"Then aren't we going to hunt the big hawks this year?" I heard that rattan melon can be used as a staple food. Although some people are still worried, they are secretly relieved. After all, having food means that we can survive and survive. In autumn and winter when prey is scarce, the animals in the forest will return to these lush forests again next spring.
This is how they survived the more difficult days of previous years.
The elder Cui and the great witch hawk looked at Song Wen together, they were not in a hurry to make a decision on this matter, they both wanted to hear Song Wen's opinion first.
Song Wen was stunned, then shook his head, "We're going, but for safety, we don't need to go down to the forest on the ground, we just need to find out what those wild wolves are doing." Song Wen paused, "There are also those big hawks, they have wings to fly, and they are scattered all over the territory, so why are they all gone? If they are in danger, they should also have enough ability to escape and ask us for help. "
Everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay. This was something they hadn't understood. Even though many people had been lost due to the invasion of wild wolves, since wild wolves couldn't fly, it was impossible that no one couldn't escape.
"Then I'll take someone to have a look." Ah Que interjected.
"I can go with you after I go back and explain the situation to the leader. I know where those wild wolves are active." Aman said.The territory of the Buteo Clan is almost twice the size of the Black Crow Clan, and the forests there are taller and denser. If you don't know the range of activities of the wild wolves, it is difficult to find their traces just by exploring in mid-air.
The elder nodded, "Check out whether those wild wolves are related to evil beasts. We have found traces of evil beasts in the territory of the big buzzard tribe before, and now there are huge packs of wild wolves breaking in. I don't know if they are purely for Hunting the Buteo is still to find something in the territory of the Buteo."
The elder has the inherited memory of the Black Crow Clan, and knows more than others. The news Ah Man and the others brought back this time always made him feel bad.
"Those evil beasts and wild wolves may also be chasing people from the Golden Eagle Clan." The big witch hawk guessed.
The great witch hawk has the ability to predict. If she guesses like this, it is more or less certain that the evil beasts and wild wolves must have something to do with the Golden Eagle Clan, but the Golden Eagle Clan is still in a coma. It's hard to say, there is no way to tell them what happened.
The people in the room kept discussing until it was completely dark before finally dispersing. Ah Man rushed back to the harpy group overnight. Song Wen gathered the orcs living in the wasteland and told everyone the news.
After hearing about the Great Buteo Clan, everyone was a little worried. After all, the territory of the Big Buteo Clan is adjacent to their Black Crow Clan. Although the wasteland they live in is not close to the border, even the wolf pack If you want to touch it, you have to go through several forests occupied by various beasts, which is not so easy.
But after listening to Song Wen's arrangement, everyone felt a little relieved.
Early the next morning, Song Wen took people to dig the moat and build the protective city wall first. The soil dug out of the moat was simply burned into mud bricks on the spot and used to build walls.
These two projects have already been built for a long time. The moat was dug first, and there was no water source in the wasteland. Now they have no time to open the channel connecting the North River, so Song Wen ordered some newly dug wells The water was pumped out.
He made a simple waterwheel, and the water pumped up can be transported into the moat through pipes made of bamboo tubes. In just a few days, the place where they lived was surrounded by a waterway, and some small animals in the forest also appeared. Nor can they easily run into the fields they planted and steal the crops.
Yi took a few orc warriors to the territory of the big buteo tribe. Besides Ah Man, there were two strange harpies who accompanied them. Although they were traveling together, the two harpies were not There will be too much communication with them, and when they see a bunch of orcs gathered together, they raise their heads and show a disdainful expression. They can't figure out why the leader wants them to follow these orcs to the king's butcher territory.
After all, with the strength of the harpies, they are completely able to travel alone. Sometimes they even look down on their own clansmen, let alone these foreigners who are weaker than them.
However, when they saw Yi's huge animal shape, their original contemptuous thoughts were slightly restrained, and the surprise in their eyes could not be concealed.
"You will change your mind if you get in touch with them more." Ah Man whispered to his fellow clansmen.
One of the Harpies pursed her lips and said in a disapproving tone, "You have been in contact with these foreigners for too long."
Ah Man didn't explain too much, just shrugged his shoulders, and with a flick of his wings, he chased after those orcs and left.
The two harpies at the back looked at each other and frowned. Even if they didn't want to go with these foreigners, they could only chase after them.
The evil beasts are not only the enemies of the orcs, but also the natural enemies of the harpies. It is rare for the harpies and the orcs to agree on how to deal with the evil beasts.
Yi and the others had been away for much longer than Song Wen had expected, but he sent people back several times to pass the news on the way, knowing that they were not in any great danger, Song Wen was a little relieved.
During this period of time, all the people in the wasteland stopped other work to help build the city wall. Now, in addition to the outermost wooden fence that was built early, the place where they live now has a surrounding river and Red-brown walls.
The space surrounded by the city wall is not too big. After all, they simply enclose their houses, fields, and huge snake turtles. There is still a large area of wasteland that is still unused. of.
Song Wen wanted to surround the entire wasteland with moats and city walls, but this project was too large to be completed in just a few months.
"We look like a tribe now." Song Wen couldn't help sighing.
The city wall had just been built, and Song Wen stood on the city wall, looking at the place where they lived together with the elders.
Next to the dozen or so dusty concrete houses is a lush field, which is full of rattan melons, sugar cane, and various edible wild vegetables that have been found from the surrounding forests one after another after coming here.
In addition, a large area of space is given to the snake turtle. A small forest is planted on the snake turtle island. Snake tortoises wake up from deep sleep and can eat fresh green leaves.
The end of this place can be seen at a glance. In Song Wen's eyes, the building looks extremely simple. Others only feel a sense of accomplishment. These are all built by them bit by bit.
"Tribe?" It wasn't the first time the elder had heard Song Wen mention this term. Song Wen had explained to him before that places where human beings live together could be called tribes.He looked around at the Black Crows and Wang Buisers walking under the city wall. It is no longer possible to simply say that this is the residence of any ethnic group. After all, they have completely mixed together because of the things Song Wen created.
"It is indeed a tribe." The elder nodded in agreement.
Song Wen glanced at him with a smile, "Then should we give this new tribe a name?"
The elder didn't decide on his own, he thought for a while, "This needs to be discussed with the great witch of the Wangjia clan." The implication is that he doesn't mind the current way of life where multiple ethnic groups live together.
"Then we need to discuss a good name." Song Wen looked up at a place where the cooking smoke had just risen. He didn't know who was planning to cook the food. Occasionally, the sound of cubs playing in the wind could be heard. The ground is full of vitality.
Song Wen's brows and eyes became softer, and his eyes became more nostalgic. In this wasteland with nothing, his heart that occasionally seemed restless seemed to have finally found a sense of belonging. Never made him feel this way.
Family.
Perhaps only this word can express Song Wen's current mood.
"Song Wen, elder." At this moment, an urgent call interrupted the conversation between the two of them. Song Wen looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw Ah Da running over in a hurry. It was unfavorable and fell halfway, but Ada didn't care, got up and wiped his face casually, and called Song Wen and the elder anxiously while running.
Song Wen's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, Ah Da recently helped Ah Wei and Song Wen take care of the Golden Eagle clansman, the man has not been awake since he was in a coma, and he can only make it by feeding him a little grated vine melon every day But there is not enough nutrition, and the whole person is still visibly thinned. The only consolation is that the breath of that person has always been very calm, and there is no sign of deterioration.
Song Wen can only be taken care of carefully. As for whether he can wake up, Song Wen really can't guarantee it.
Seeing Ah Da's anxious appearance now, Song Wen didn't have time to think about it, exchanged glances with the elder, and ran down the stairs in a hurry.
"What's the matter? Did something happen to the Golden Eagle clansman?" The elder moved faster than Song Wen, and quickly stepped forward to support Ah Da who was out of breath.
Ah Da took a deep breath, and shook his head again and again when he heard the words, "No...it's not."
Ah Da swallowed, and Song Wen realized that the other party's eyes were abnormally bright, perhaps because he was too anxious, Ah Da stuttered a bit when he spoke, "Da Wu, it was Da Wu who asked me to tell you to go back. Elder... ...Elder, we are going to have a new cub." Ada choked up a sob and suddenly let out a loud howl when he said this, and took the elder's hand and wiped the corners of his eyes with a sob.
The elder didn't have time to dislike Ah Da's actions, his head went blank for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, he bit the tip of his tongue, the pain made him tremblingly ask the doubts in his heart, "You...what did you say? "
"Cub eggs, the Black Crow Clan will have a new cub egg born."
