When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 28 The lower reaches of the Haihe River Basin have been experiencing drought for almost three months.

More than ten Lin Di attacked them, seven were shot over, three were killed, and many escaped.

Xin Qu was worried about attacking in the east, so he quickly retreated after chasing 300 meters, and then began to collect the wounded and prisoners.

Fortunately, the others chased him two miles away. When they saw that Xin Qu had not followed, they thought something had happened and quickly retreated.

"Patriarch."

Seeing Xin Qu guarding the river valley, they quickly came up.

"Everyone is okay, are there any injuries?" Xin Qu looked at the tribesmen and found that only a few unlucky ones had broken away the carbonized bamboo armor tied to their arms and chests. There were no obvious wounds, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "If there is bleeding, quickly stop the bleeding, and then seal the wound with a hot copper knife."

Xin Qu said, Xingren Dong also called the tribesmen to come for treatment.

In the past six months, Xinqu has contributed many simple treatment methods, reducing the casualty rate of his tribe by several percent, and everyone is convinced.

"Chun, Xia, you two ask these Lin Di what is going on."

Xinqu doesn’t understand the Lindi language, but Xingren’s essential skill is multi-ethnic languages. Xingren Chun and Xingren Xia both understand many languages.

They quickly led people to interrogate him, and soon reported the cause and effect to Xin Qu.

"You mean, one of the merchants was defeated. After they fled into the forest, the Guzhu clan set fire to the forest, causing a large area of ​​forest in the southwest to catch fire. Lin Di was also burned, killed, and looted by the merchants, and was finally forced to disperse."

Xin Qu heard this and everyone was numb.

At this point in time, most of the wars between various kingdoms and tribes are not just frontal scenes, but just like brawls. They rarely chase the defeated soldiers and set fire to the forest.

After all, the forest can be said to be the source of life. Besides, it is summer, how can it burn so fast?

Unless... wildfires are superimposed.

Xin Qu frowned slightly.

Wildfires mean drought in the north this year...

If this is the case, if there is no rain before autumn, then the area in Beijing will suffer from drought and wildfires. How uncomfortable will it be in Mongolia?
"Ask them how the temperatures are feeling in the southwest this year. Is there any rain? The last one was in a few months."

Xin Qu's words made Xingrenchun's eyes move slightly: "Qu, when you said this, I remembered it. I still remember that the last time I passed by Lao San's place to trade with them, their swamp had dried up to the ground."

"Really?!" Xin Qu's face turned ugly.

If it’s really a fucking drought, it’s going to be difficult.

Where Xin's family is located, the degree of drought is not high because it is close to the Yanshan Mountains. The water from Yanshan Mountain comes down, so it doesn't matter if the water is less, because it is upstream.

But the entire Haihe River Basin, now a bunch of Wuding Rivers, is flooded with swamps everywhere.

But if there is a drought this year, the downstream swamps will dry up and the grass will grow wildly in the summer. This winter, the Lone Bamboo Family will have a home field advantage.

Those warriors who have Xin out, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for them to fight this year.

What's more important is that the nearby tribes that mainly grow food don't have enough to eat, so they don't want to exchange food.

The only place where food can be obtained is from the tribes near the mountain valleys.

"Ask again." Xin Qu was a little anxious and asked Chun and Xia to ask more clearly.

They finished the question quickly, and then said to Xinqu: "It's almost the same as what I said. Lin Di said that at the beginning of this summer, they found that the river water level in the forest had dropped a lot, and then they heard that there was no water everywhere in the lower reaches. .

They also said that the latest tribal divination result was that there would be a drought this year. "

"Oh shit!"

Xin Qu raised his middle finger to the sky angrily, "Fuck! You can't do some human work! No wonder those damn businessmen came to grab water or food. There is a drought in the east! We can only deal with us upstream tribes." Take action."

"It's actually quite strange to the clan that there is so much water." Xing Xia crossed his arms and got used to Xin Qu's movements.

"Hey, it's not like the patriarch proposed to dig deep wells. Several more wells were opened in the settlement. Otherwise, how could we not feel anything this year?"

An uninjured soldier came back with his trophies and gave a reason with a smile.Xinqu sighed and said: "This drought has lasted for at least three months. Since the spring plowing, the rain has stopped. Because we are upstream, we can still rely on rain from rivers and mountains for watering, so we don't feel it.

However, the rivers downstream are often flooded and there are often no river channels. The tribes living downstream are either in the mountains or on islands in the middle of the lake between swamps.

This drought will inevitably affect their food sources.

I'm afraid there is a possibility of no harvest. "

"In other words, you can't get food in exchange?"

"We can't exchange it, and we have to be careful that we will be robbed." Xinqu stood up, "We have to hurry up and go to the Chishi Tribe. We hope that the Chishi Tribe has not come into contact with Lin Di. Otherwise, they will learn about the severe drought in the east in advance. news, they will definitely find ways to raise the price of food."

"Hey, not all tribes have such a keen sense as you." Xingrendong healed the man and shook his head with a smile, "You have always thought a lot, although you can always take the lead in transactions. But more Sometimes, you scare yourself."

"I would rather believe that I have it than that I don't have it. Anyway, the items being traded now are all necessities for survival. If the price is lower, buy more, and if the price is higher, sell more. It's not a loss anyway, as long as it doesn't break."

Xinqu has always had a sense of crisis, because the first time he came over, he saw himself hanging on a tree. A gust of wind blew by, making him fall to the ground, and his bones almost fell apart in pain.

I almost thought that my life was ruined.

I saw danger many times after that, although I was able to avoid the danger every time.

But he kept reminding himself that this was a barbaric and desolate era, with nothing and nothing to rely on, and he could only rely on himself.

It feels like God is pointing a gun at the back of your head and forcing you to make all kinds of messy tribal survival videos.

Only by being resourceful and calculating can you have a way to survive.

It was his subconscious thought.

"What about these Lindis?"

"Kill it, then hang it on a nearby tree and let wild animals eat it or dry it to deter other enemies who try to live here."

Xinqu would not take these guys with him, nor would he even accept them as slaves.

He was going to the Chishi tribe, which was also a mountain tribe. They must have interacted with Lin Di. If there was an interpreter in the tribe who could understand the questions he asked, it would be a variable that would affect the transaction.

Since it is a variable, delete it.

Xing Xia and the others just said it was a pity that many of these guys were injured. They were cheap and discounted. Three of them could be exchanged for a bag of millet. It was not a problem for these guys to exchange for three or five bags.

However, they still performed their tasks quickly.

After doing all this, Xinqu immediately ordered to leave. He didn't even stay overnight and continued on his way holding a torch.

Because this side is a river, there will be many wild beasts coming out at night. If there are many people moving together, even a pack of wolves will not foolishly provoke the terrifying erectus.

When it got slightly brighter, Xinqu asked the tribesmen to find a dry open space to rest. He walked across the pebble beach and squatted down to get water to wash his face. He suddenly saw the carrion of a wolf lying 100 meters downstream. There are also several dried fish on it.

Looking at the position of the body from the shore, it was ten meters away. The river under his feet was only more than three meters wide.

It’s really dry this year!
This is no longer the normal water level in summer!
It should be noted that at this time, the nearby tribes did not build reservoirs or large artificial dams.

There is no possibility of damming the river to store water. The amount of water coming from the upstream will flow downstream.

Therefore, if it rains normally in summer, the water surface should be at least about five to ten meters wide, instead of only three meters wide.

In the past six months, I have been too concerned about the survival rate of man-made disasters, but I have forgotten that natural disasters are the most dangerous!
Still too confused!

"No wonder, no wonder Shang Xiaoyi must fight Lone Bamboo. Is he worried that there will be a drought and the swamp will turn into grassland, and there will be no way to stop Lone Bamboo from going south, so he risked his life to start this battle?"

Xinqu kept thinking about the possibilities.

"Clan leader, there is someone here."

"Oh - are there any travelers from the Xin family? I am Akaashi Qu from the Akaishi tribe."
