Prehistoric Woman Age

Chapter 124: Misfortune in the Snow

    Heavy snow fell all night, An Er was awakened by a loud noise in the arms of her man. She rubbed her eyes, the kang was warm, and she slept in food the night before. She planned to sleep until noon and wake up confidently. However, I don't know which one who doesn't have long eyes actually ran to their door early in the morning to make a quarrel!

    Abu got up from the kang, helped her tuck the animal skin quilt, and said, "You sleep a little longer, I'll go see what's going on."

    Before he finished speaking, he heard A Tu's fiery chatter: "Patriarch! Patriarch, it's not good! The snow last night was heavy, and the roof of Luo's family was crushed by the snow!"

    When An Er heard this, a jolt turned over and sat up, wearing animal skins and asked outside: "Luo's two children are all right? It's such a cold day, hurry up and bring the children here. ...and Lao Lei, who is old and can't stand the cold..."

    A Tu's head stretched out from the door curtain and said with a smile: "An'er, don't worry about this! My house is close to Luo's house. When something happened last night, my mother asked me to The children are carried to our house. Now, the two little guys are fast asleep. As for Lao Lei, he said that his body is stronger than that of young people, and he is not afraid of a little snow!"

    An'er shivered and put on the animal skin clothes, put on wool boots, and said to Abu: "I'll go take a look too! It is estimated that the snow on the house is too thick, and the beams of the house can't bear it. The weight of the snow, so... but, logically speaking, this should not happen to a newly built house!"

    Abu looked at the blizzard outside, which had become much lighter, and covered her with a thick bear skin, and then walked towards the west of the village.

    At this time, the snowflakes were like catkins, gently falling with the wind, and the cold wind that had raged all night has gradually stopped. Snowflakes fell playfully on An'er's long eyelashes, and she gently blinked them off. This kind of snow, for the prehistoric winter, has been regarded as "little snow".

    In front of the Luo family's house, a number of clansmen have gathered, most of them are strong hunters, when they heard the news, they didn't need to call, so they came to see if they needed help.

    "The patriarch is here! An'er is here!" Someone shouted, and a group of clansmen who had no way to start suddenly had the backbone. He walked towards this side, surrounded Abu and An'er in the middle, and came to Luo's house.

    The roof collapsed. It was precisely the main house where the Luo family of four lived, which was caused by a broken beam. The things inside had been cleaned up by the help of the clansmen, and the beam of the house fell on the kang, smashing the end of the kang into a big hole. The fire under the kang has been extinguished, and a thick layer of snow has fallen. The straw on the roof fell all over the place.

    In order to protect the two children, Luo injured his arm, but fortunately no bones were injured, Ming, who came with him, has gone to help him clean the wound. And put on the medicine to stop the bleeding.

    "Be careful, Ann, don't go there. Dangerous!" Seeing that An'er was about to walk into the collapsed house, Abu quickly grabbed her arm and took her away from the house. At this moment, the beam that hangs on the roof and rests on the kang at the other end. "Crash", it fell completely from the roof

    An'er broke out in a cold sweat. If Abra hadn't stopped her, she would have been smashed under the beam. At the scene of an accident, safety comes first…

    Abu checked the broken beam and found that although the outside of the wood was intact, the middle was eaten by insects and ants. Because it was not too serious, he didn't pay attention when choosing the beam, which led to this problem. field accident.

    "A-Sang, go carry two beams here; Lao Luo, go to the warehouse and get the ladder; Ah Tu and Xiaohu, go to the haystack and bring some straw!" People are assigned jobs. Others volunteered to help clear the snow and straw from the house.

      . After the roof was repaired, a few people brought in the previously built adobe from the cave to repair the damaged kang. Several nearby women enthusiastically helped tidy up the room and set the kang on fire again.

    By noon, the two children were already playing and rolling on their own kang. Luo and Lao Lei looked gratefully at the backs of the clansmen who left silently, not knowing how to express their gratitude.

    They who were driven out by the tribe thought they would not survive this winter. They never imagined that they could live such a comfortable life. Sufficient food hangs on the tree branches in the courtyard; inside the house, it is as warm as spring. Even in the original powerful tribe, winter had to be spent in icy caves. Although there is a fire burning to keep warm, it is not like lying on the warm kang and sleeping until dawn... They must have been favored by the **** of luck and fell into the blessed nest!

    On the way home, An'er looked at the thick snow on the houses on both sides, and said with some concern: "When will this snow fall! This will happen... Abu, you organize some people to help the tribe clear the snow on the roof?"

    Abu agrees with this decision very much, saying: "In the afternoon, I will call in people to do this."

    An'er suddenly asked, "How many wooden ladders do we have?"

    Abu thought about it and said, "Not much, about five..."

    "Let Lao Luo take a few people and make a few wooden ladders in the past two days. Then organize the young and middle-aged people in the clan and divide them into ten groups, each group is responsible for five or six houses. Snow clearing and maintenance matters." There are fifty or sixty houses in the village, and if they were all brought to clean up by their own men, it would take many days, so it is better to break it into parts and do it all in one person, which not only saves time, but also guarantees The house has been cleaned all winter. Snow like this will fall for months, so it can't be cleaned up once!

    Abu made the calculations silently in his heart, seven or eight people were responsible for five or six houses, and the cleaning was easily completed in the end of the day. This method is really good. I don't care about not eating breakfast, so I organize a snow-clearing team from house to house.

    Accompanied by Ming, when he returned home, Daer had already cooked breakfast. On the stove above the stove, fish ball soup was stewed, and a few pieces of beef were boiled in it. On the brazier beside the kang, porridge with shredded cabbage and pork was stewed, and the strong aroma of porridge wafted all over the house.

    "An, Ming! Why didn't Dad come back with you?" Da'er waited for the family to eat breakfast. Got a few fish **** to satisfy my hunger. Seeing that only An'er and Ming were back, they asked in surprise.

    "Your father has something to do, tell us not to wait for him." An'er put a bowl of hot meat porridge for herself, but she didn't care about the heat, and snorted. Standing in the snow on an empty stomach all morning, An'er felt that she was about to freeze into a popsicle, and after eating a bowl of hot porridge, she felt a little warm.

    In the afternoon, the snow was getting smaller and smaller. The Qingxue team consisting of Abu, Yingye, Sea Shark, Assan, Ji and Nana's other man, Suo, first came to the patriarch's house. In prehistoric tribes, the status of the patriarch was still relatively respected, and An'er did not intend to break this so-called inequality. She has been here for so long, and all she sees is that her men take the lead in rushing ahead no matter what they do, and it is only natural to enjoy some small privileges.

    Snow, only scattered powder. An'er held the animal skin hot water bottle and stood in the yard, watching several men climb up and down to clean the snow on the house, and occasionally repair the thatch on the roof. Sea sharks have chains on their feet, so they can't climb up and down. An'er doesn't let them sit idle. Pointing to the wooden shovel, she says, "You! There's too much snow in the yard, and I'm not happy with it. All the snow, clean up and go outside!"

      This is only temporary. Now clean it out, and it will be full again in two days. Why bother!"

    The animal skin hot water bottle in An'er's hand was thrown at his head: "You are clear of your identity! You are a prisoner of war, you are here to reform through labor, not to enjoy happiness! People are all busy and busy, you're taking a break!"

      An'er was so angry that she wanted to rush up and scratch him twice.

    Suddenly, he was overjoyed and sad, the back of his head was hit hard, and he turned his head to see an eagle leaf with straw in one hand. The hot water bottle in his hand was snatched away, and he hatedly watched the "roommate" sell the hot water bottle back to the little woman.

      , don't want to eat dinner!"

    "You dare! That's the food allotted to me by the clan, why won't I eat it?" The sea shark hated his teeth: he would only sell well in front of women!

    An'er suddenly said: "What? To give a prisoner of war food equal to the clan? No! In winter, food is tight, and the prisoner's ration is halved..."

    "Don't, don't! Can't I do it?" The ration is halved? Then wouldn't he live in a state of semi-starvation every day? That guy Yingye is also energetic, he can't handle him if he doesn't get enough to eat - ahem, don't get me wrong, he can't beat him in a fight.

    The sea shark picked up the wooden shovel, first cleared a path in the courtyard, and then spread out to both sides. After a while, he was sweating all over his body, and white mist emanated from the top of his head. He threw off the animal skin coat outside, exposing his strong arms, and with the action of shoveling snow, his muscles bulged, showing the beauty of strength.

    Although the yard of the patriarch's house was large, it was not difficult for him. In less than half an hour, he swept out all the snow in the yard.

    The cleaning team had already moved to the neighboring house. An'er didn't intend to let the sea shark go like this, and ordered him to clear a two-meter-wide path in front of the door connecting each house. In this way, it is much more convenient for everyone to hang out with each other.
