Chapter 164
It is really inhumane to ask the dwarves to dig cellars in this season. Fortunately, the snow wolves are very strong, and as long as it is not Ashan, everyone else can help.
The dwarves are in charge most of the time, otherwise the snow werewolves will easily collapse the cellar.
Vanilla, Barlow and others used wool to knit a lot of gloves, hats, scarves and other things. When the dwarves wore them, they felt warmer and it was more convenient for them to work.
Speaking of wool, although the sweater that Barlow gave to Bombur was a defective product and was a joke, it was indeed warm. In addition, more and more werewolf cubs started wearing sweaters, so Cailin (Bombur's wife) also started to learn and wanted to knit one for her daughter.
Under her leadership, the female dwarves have developed a strong interest in knitting sweaters. Now every dwarf has a sweater and trousers, and they still enjoy researching new patterns.
Yu Sui did not find this situation surprising. Who could escape the temptation of knitting sweaters? Even in modern times when electronic products are prevalent, there are still a large number of people who cannot resist knitting and crocheting, not to mention a different world where there is no entertainment at all.
Thanks to them, Yu Sui and Xiao Chu not only have replacement sweaters and trousers, but also own several animal-shaped ones. If someone opens their wardrobe, they might think they have pets.
The female dwarf enthusiastically wove a set for Shuyu as well, and it was the most beautiful one, with patterns that were not much different from modern ones.
Ashan wanted to take part in the cellar digging project, but was ruthlessly rejected by Uncle Robert. Sadly, he ran to the mountains and found several large stones. He made them into a millstone and brought them back to the tribe.
He is still more suitable for this kind of work, Yu Sui thought.
With everyone working together, when Qi and Heiyan brought Asa back, most of the cellar had been dug.
Seeing the three people appear next to the cafeteria, Yu Sui realized with a guilty conscience that he had been too busy these past few days and had forgotten to worry about their safety...
He secretly found Lu in the busy crowd and discovered that she was still immersed in the joy of digging. His guilty conscience immediately disappeared. Aunt Lu had forgotten about it, so he was not that guilty.
All the way back to the tribe, no one noticed them except the patrolling soldiers, or no one paid any attention to them.
Heiyan walked to the bustling cafeteria in confusion, only to find that the tribesmen were working busily, some grinding flour, some peeling skin, and a group of people were digging the soil like gray rabbits.
Heiyan walked forward dejectedly, walked through the crowd, found his partner whose face was covered in dust but still in high spirits, and patted her on the back.
Midori thought someone was looking for her for something, but when she turned around, she saw that it was Hei Yan who had returned from afar. The smile on her face suddenly became a little awkward.
"You're back, quite early... Uh, would you like something to eat? We're digging a cellar."
Yu Sui was just about to secretly laugh at Aunt Lu when his vision suddenly went dark. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Qi. Although he had a blank expression on his face, Yu Sui always felt that the other person's eyes were full of resentment.
He smiled ingratiatingly, "Brother Qi, you're back. Did you encounter any danger?"
Qi Mo looked at him silently for a while before speaking, "The Argali Tribe's territory has been occupied by the Fierce Wind Lizard. It's expanding its territory. We were almost discovered by it, but luckily it was preparing to mate and didn't catch up."
It sounded very dangerous, and Yu Sui couldn't help but get nervous. It was an eighth-level monster. He hurriedly pulled Qi up and down to observe it, "Is it not injured? That big guy is so powerful."
A smile appeared in Qi's eyes. "It's okay. It didn't catch us. We are not hurt."
Yu Sui finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
However, he saw Asa in a low mood out of the corner of his eye, and he had a vague guess in his mind, so he looked at Qi with a questioning look.
Nodding slowly, Qi confirmed his guess.
Come to think of it, when Heiyan and Qi rushed back with Asa, several days had passed since the Fierce Wind Lizard attacked the tribe, but they were still almost discovered by it. If the Fierce Wind Lizard had not been concentrating on preparing for courtship, they would have been doomed.
The speed and endurance of the argali people are not as good as those of the snow werewolves, not to mention that the argali people who stayed behind to cover the retreat were all injured.
Intellectually, everyone understood this, but now that not a single person had been rescued, Yu Sui still felt very sorry for having lost so many tribesmen and relatives overnight. He looked at Asa, who was hanging his head and wondering what he was thinking, and felt pity for him.
To cheer him up, Yu Sui pointed to a group of cubs helping to dig the cellar and said, "Brother Asa, the cubs of your argali tribe are also helping to dig the cellar. They are really strong."
Hearing his voice, Asa raised his head in a trance, and looked in the direction of his hand at the people busy working. Next to a mound of earth, he saw several argali sheep happily digging the soil with their hooves. Beside them, there was a group of little snow wolves digging the soil with their butts sticking out. The dwarf cubs were holding small shovels and digging non-stop, like skilled miners.
The adult argali members were also helping out, watching the cubs out of the corner of their eyes. Their faces were no longer filled with the panic they had when they first arrived, and they couldn't help but smile in the lively scene.
The snow wolves and dwarves coming and going were carrying heavy objects or tools, and they greeted every Argali member familiarly. Even the seriously injured ones were pushed out in warm clothes and sat aside, watching them busy with their work with a smile.
"Yes, the cubs of our argali tribe are very strong." Asa murmured in response, but his eyes kept wandering around. His eye sockets gradually turned red, and his lips trembled as he tried to raise a smile, but he failed after trying for a while.
Ak, who was helping with the work, was carrying a full cart of soil out. He gradually lost himself in the praises of the snow werewolves and dwarves. He didn't use the wooden cart to pull it, but insisted on holding it with both hands, with a shy smile on his face.
He was standing high up, and had spotted Asa earlier than anyone else. He anxiously put down the wooden cart and hurried over. He put his hands on Asa's shoulders, his voice trembling, "How is it? Is there anyone alive?"
Lily and other members of the Argali tribe saw Ak's actions and rushed in this direction. Yu Sui and Qi looked at each other and tacitly stepped back to leave them space.
Asa shook his head with difficulty. "No, not a single one. Even our tribe has been occupied by the Gale Lizards, and their range has even expanded. When we passed by, we also notified the nearby orc tribes and asked them to migrate further away."
He didn't dare to recall the scene when he first arrived at the territory. It was already dusk, and the trees and snow around his territory were devoured by the flames of the Fierce Wind Lizards. When they rushed there, the earth was charred and the dry ground was exposed.
On the black and yellow land, countless argali skeletons were scattered on it, covered with deep tooth marks.
