It was not impossible for them to leave to hide from the disaster, but no one wanted to do so unless it was absolutely necessary.
If they were really forced to leave, just how great would the changes in the world be?
It was unimaginable.
Moreover, in the past three years, the construction of the houses and the planning of the fields were already on track. It was a good time for rapid development, but now they had to leave. They could only say that they were unlucky.
Life was full of obstacles!
No matter what would happen in the future, it had not happened yet. This gave everyone a chance to prepare. They could not wait until the disaster happened. They had to plan ahead.
The person in charge of the fields came over to ask Shao Xuan about the planting of the Thousand Grain Gold. Last year, they did not know what the weather would be like, so they tried to plant some other seeds. The Thousand Grain Gold could not be planted carelessly. It was even more precious than Ji Ju's seeds. That was why they did not plant any Thousand Grain Gold last year.
Now that the weather was back to normal, the person in charge of the fields was thinking about planting some new seeds. After a discussion, Qi Qi and the rest came over to ask Shao Xuan. After all, the decision on the Thousand Grain Gold lay with Shao Xuan.
"No, don't be in a hurry to plant the seeds," Shao Xuan continued, seeing Qi Qi's confusion. "Not just the Thousand Grain Gold, don't plant anything else for now. As for the crops in the fields, if there are any ripe ones, keep them first, especially the grains we planted last year. "
Some of the crops in the fields were already ripe. According to the original plan, after the harvest, they would distribute the crops according to their work. But this time, in order to prevent the disaster, they had to change the plan.
Meat could not be preserved for long, but grains and other crops could be preserved for a long time. If they could not find any prey by then, there was still food in the storehouse to solve the problem.
Although they did not understand Shao Xuan's reason, since Shao Xuan had said so, Qi Qi would do as he said.
"But if we do that, there will be a lot of empty space in the fields," Qi Qi said. Qi Qi said. In the past winter, the empty fields weren't left there all the time. The people in charge of taking care of the fields had used various planting techniques to fertilize the fields and wait for the seeds to be planted. But now, Shao Xuan actually asked them to stop planting. It wasn't that they had any complaints, they just felt that it was a pity.
When Shao Xuan said that he would not plant anything for the time being, he did not mean that he would not plant anything. It was just that he would temporarily stop sowing those plants that had a long growth cycle. However, he could plant some plants that had a short growth cycle. The time between planting and harvesting was relatively short. Perhaps they would have matured before the disaster struck. At the very least, they would still be able to harvest some.
Qi Qi realized something from Shao Xuan's words. He nodded and left with a serious expression. Although Shao Xuan didn't say what would happen, the shaman had told everyone during this year's ceremony that they needed to be extra careful this year.
Everything was for the sake of Yanjiao. There was nothing wrong with trusting their decision. Qi Qi went to tell the other people in charge of the fields about Shao Xuan's intentions.
Other than Yanjiao, some people in other parts of the continent also had a premonition of what was going to happen. For example, the Mang tribe and the other large tribes. The shaman wasn't an idiot either. He had a premonition before, but it wasn't strong at the time. Now, perhaps because the disaster was approaching, his premonition grew stronger.
Every tribe was making preparations. Far away from the Fearsome Beast Forest, far away from the large tribes, at the border of the continent, near the boundless river.
The Drumming tribe's trading team had just returned from trading with the Pu tribe. On the way back, they carried bamboo baskets filled with all sorts of utensils and stood on the backs of large crocodiles.
The crocodiles in the river swayed their powerful tails. Only part of their bodies was above the water surface. They looked around with cold, emotionless eyes.
In the past winter, the tribes in other parts of the continent had encountered quite a bit of trouble. Some people even died of thirst. However, to the tribes living near the river, even though the heat was torturous, they could still withstand it. At least they didn't have to worry about water.
The river they were in now was almost dry during the winter. At higher elevations, they could see the bottom. The mud at the bottom of the river was hard from the sun, so the crocodiles all ran into the river. Because of the crocodiles' help, the Drumming tribesmen didn't get attacked by the other dangerous beasts in the river when they went to get water.
Under such high temperatures, not only were the people easily agitated, even the fish in the river were full of murderous intent.
After winter, a few days of heavy rain caused these small rivers to rise again. However, it was only for a few days. During this period of time, the river had obviously dropped. When the crocodiles swam in the water, their mood was much worse.
"Will the river dry up again?" asked a warrior from the Drumming tribe.
"Who knows? But even if it dries up, we still have the river next to us. There's plenty of water there. Anyway, we won't die of thirst. "Another warrior standing on the back of a crocodile said indifferently.
People in the inland areas were seriously short of water, but they weren't. They didn't worry about the life and death of others. They only cared about their own tribesmen.
The closer they got to the Drumming tribe, the more strange the warriors became.
"Why do I feel like there are a lot more fish today?"
"I saw them too. I thought they were here to welcome us, but looking at them, it's more like …"
More like what? The warrior didn't continue, only frowning. The others had the same expression.
They were familiar with the crocodiles. The tribe's totem was the crocodile. They could see the emotions of the crocodiles.
In the past, there weren't as many crocodiles swimming in the river as there were now. However, along the way, they found that the number of crocodiles in the river was more than three times more than before!
Twice as many crocodiles was already abnormal. They would look for the reason. Now, there were more than three times more crocodiles. This situation made them panic.
Just as the warrior said, the crocodiles didn't look like they were here to welcome them. It was more like they were hiding from something.
Even if the crocodiles didn't panic, such a situation made the Drumming tribe explode.
The shaman spent the night looking for the reason. His ability wasn't as strong as the shamans of other big tribes. He had a premonition that something bad was going on, but he couldn't compare to those big tribes. Therefore, he wanted to find some solutions and try to find out the specific reason for the crocodiles' behavior.
Day after day, the people of the Drumming tribe still couldn't find the reason. However, more and more crocodiles came ashore, swam into the river, and lurked in the ponds of the Drumming tribe. On the contrary, there were fewer crocodiles in the river.
Without the crocodiles, there were more dangerous fish and river beasts in the river. For a time, the people of the Drumming tribe didn't dare to go into the river. They only dared to go to the rivers with more crocodiles.
One day, the warriors of the Drumming tribe who were patrolling on the river bank heard a gurgling sound. They thought it was a river beast in the water and immediately became alert.
However, they stared at the river for a long time and only saw some bubbles coming out of the river. There were no river beasts.
The fishes with sharp teeth in the river jumped out of the water from time to time. When they fell into the water, they jumped around restlessly.
