Chapter 3 Beast Tide
"Wood, you contributed the most this time, and this leg is yours."
The woman who spoke was the woman who drove Mu Yan out of the village at the beginning, her name was Bai Qin, and the reason why she drove Mu Yan away was that Mu Yan was too thin after changing his clothes.
There was once a woman of the same size as Mu Yan who came to the village, just in time for the beast tide, and the woman pushed Bai Qin into the herd in order to escape for her life.
Bai Qin fought hard to survive, and later she had no good impression or even disgust for the thin woman Bai Qin, so that she didn't want Mu Yan to stay in the village.
Mu Yan has lived in this village for half a year and has learned to understand their language. Later, in the process of getting along, the people in the village asked Mu Yan's name, and Mu Yan picked up a piece of wood at his feet and took it as his name.
Mu Yan nodded at the woman, did not speak, picked up the leg of the prey, and walked towards his stone house.
Mu Yan didn't speak because he had just learned their language in half a year and couldn't speak it well, and secondly, he had said that he was a mute who couldn't speak.
Mu Yan's stone house can no longer be called a hole, Mu Yan chiseled a window for the stone house, and the door has been hung with a large piece of animal skin, which can prevent the wind and shade the sun, and the whole village has also been made up in the same way.
The interior of the stone house is not what it used to be, there are some utensils and furniture made by Mu Yan himself, which are full of life.
Mu Yan sat on a stone bench and tried to pour himself some water, but found that the wooden kettle he was holding water was empty. He picked up a bucket and planned to go to the stream behind the tribe to carry a bucket of water to boil.
Mu Yan felt that there was a big difference between himself and the habits of the people here, and at the beginning, the people in the tribe would go directly to the stream and scoop it with their hands to drink it directly.
Mu Yan didn't know why she had to put it back in a container and put it in a stone pot to cook before drinking, and she didn't know why she had to go to such great lengths to accommodate her habits.
In the cold winter, there is a huge fire in the center of the village, and there are many piles of wood around the stone circle of the fire, and stone pots are set up on the wood piles.
This big fire is the one that Mu Yan raised at the beginning, and it has been maintained for half a year, and someone adds firewood to it every day.
Mu Yan also talked about it when he listened to the people around him talk about it in the past half a year, this fire was first raised by people from outside one winter, and the way they rose was different from Mu Yan, it seemed that a fireball appeared out of thin air with a wave of his hand and smashed it like a pile of wood, Mu Yan probably knew what it looked like, but he just couldn't remember how to do it.
Mu Yan also asked the people around him, but no one could answer, only said that it was a fairy method, sometimes it rained, even if it was extinguished, there was a fire fold that could be ignited, but since the last beast tide, no one has come here, and it was also the last time the beast tide came, the fire fold in the village was lost.
At the beginning, the people in the village saw Mu Yan raising the fire and thought it was an immortal, so they respected it so much. Later, after Mu Yan handed over the method of drilling wood to make fire without the means of the immortal family to the leader, the people here were no longer afraid of breaking the fire, and Mu Yan was considered to have taken root here.
After Mu Yan learned about this, he was interested in the methods of the immortal family and wanted to see and understand, but for some reason no outsiders had come here.
During Mu Yan's boiling of water, he listened to the people around him talking.
"I heard the leader say that spring is about to begin, and the beast tide is coming again."
"I don't know what to do this time, but last time I broke half of the people from the village to go in."
"Let's hope the leader can find a way."
"If you want me to say, it's not because of Bai Qin's woman, if she hadn't offended Miss Xianjia."
"Shut up, that young lady almost killed Bai Qin!"
Mu Yan listened to the discussion of the people around the fire.
I understood the beginning and end of the matter for a while, when another tribe came here in exchange for supplies, and brought a young lady of the fairy family who was pampered since childhood to see the world, and then happened to meet the beast tide, when there was chaos, the young lady had no means of self-defense, and pushed a person in front of her own beast group in fear, that person was Bai Qin, when the beast tide receded, Bai Qin survived, and reasoned with them.
That group of people lost two Immortal Family disciples and were powerless to deter, so they put down their words and never came again in the future, leaving the people here to fend for themselves.
I don't know why it was in the first place, but someone must come here every six months.
Mu Yan returned to the stone house with the boiled water, thinking about it, the beast tide is coming, what can she do to protect the village, after all, she is her first foothold in this world, and the people here are also very friendly to her and help a lot, she doesn't want this beautiful place to disappear.
The night passed.
Mu Yan thought about it all night and didn't come up with a good way, Mu Yan decided to ask the leader about his plans, maybe the leader has a way.
Mu Yan came to the door of the leader's stone house, saw Bai Qin, and waited for Mu Yan to make a move, Bai Qin opened his mouth first.
"Wood, why did you suddenly come to the leader? What is the matter before the princes rise? "Bai Qin's status is equivalent to the second leader of the tribe, she often leads the people in the village to go out hunting, Mu Yan also went several times together, and the animal legs that were divided last time were brought back from hunting.
Mu Yan thought about it for a while, and expressed his meaning to Bai Qin, wanting to ask what arrangements the leader of the beast tide had this time and what he could do.
"The leader hasn't given it yet, so I happened to be here to ask the leader about his orders this time."
As soon as Bai Qin finished answering Mu Yan's question, the leader walked out of the house.
"Good day, Chief"
Bai Qin bowed his head to the leader and bowed his head, Mu Yan did not move, and it was also one of the contents of the transaction to teach the art of fire last time, otherwise Mu Yan would settle in the tribe and follow its rules.
"Mu, what are you looking for me, you have settled down so far, I have rarely seen you!"
Mu Yan usually goes out to hunt and solve daily needs, and rarely goes out of the stone house to communicate with people.
Mu Yan expressed his thoughts and wanted to do something for this beast tide.
"I know, tomorrow I will inform everyone of the arrangements for this beast tide, Bai Qin, you arrange to go down and inform everyone in the village to come to my house tomorrow."
"Yes, Chief."
After the leader left, Mu Yan asked Bai Qin if there were any hunting arrangements today, and Bai Qin said that he needed to inform the villagers and did not have time.
After Mu Yan said goodbye to Bai Qin, he planned to walk around this tribe by himself, and he hadn't taken a good look after being here for so long.
When she walked to the gate of the village, she remembered a question she had been curious about, why when she walked to the gate of the village, the beasts outside the village could only stare at the village and did not dare to come forward.
If you think about it this way, why did the beasts that didn't dare to step forward dare to step forward when the beasts were in the tide?
Mu Yan didn't have the heart to continue wandering with questions, ready to ask the leader what was going on, maybe knowing the hidden meaning could solve the problem of the beast tide.
