Make your face white with moonlight [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 83
Blizzard finally stopped after tormenting the earth for more than ten days.
The people of the Tiger Clan showed a little joy, celebrating the passing of the most difficult time. Afterwards, relying on the food Jiang Baiyue told them to store, plus the food they usually found outside, they can probably survive this winter, right?
But Jiang Baiyue couldn't feel at ease at the moment.
"Time, are you sure?"
"Hmm." His lover reached out to hold his hand on the table, "During the past few days, Brown and the others have found a lot of traces of footprints and feces nearby. It is basically certain."
Jiang Baiyue's brows furrowed.
Taking advantage of the blizzard to stop, Shi Chen hurried over to the Tiger Clan to find him just to get some news.Recently, the wolf tribe discovered that there were traces of wild wolf pack activities near the tribe's land.
Because of the blizzard, the orcs were starving, and so were the wild animals.The difference is that the orcs are intelligent and know how to store, but the wild beasts have no food prepared, so they may be hungrier than humans.
Wild beasts usually know that people's settlements are not easy to mess with, so they dare not approach easily, but at this time, they are frequently appearing near the wolf clan's clan, which is obviously not a good thing.
"Our two clans are next to each other, so you have to be very careful." Shi Chen told Jiang Baiyue while pinching Jiang Baiyue's fingers.
"Approximately how many wolves are there, have you seen them?"
"There must be more wolves than usual." Shi Chen was a little more serious this time, "According to the situation collected by the tribe, there are more than 40 wolves found directly... But if we look at the frequency and traces of activities, there may be One hundred horses."
"So much?" Jiang Baiyue was taken aback.Wolves will form larger packs in harsh winter conditions to strive for greater survival possibilities, but more than 100 is really too much.There are so many hungry wolves moving together, it is really not a small threat.
There are more than 200 tigers in total, half of them are females, old people and young children.This ratio is much lower than that of later generations, because these people are relatively weak and have a low possibility of survival.
"Not only that." Shi Chen finally stopped rubbing his hands playfully, with a serious face, "I asked Shi Brown to look in the distance, and there may be more than a pack of wild wolves. This snowstorm is too big. Because the two tribes have hunted too much this year, and there are fewer deer and roe deer. Once the snowstorm is over, the deer cannot eat the grass under the snow. Too many dead, the wolves will have no food. I doubt that these wild wolves will target them sooner or later. We orcs have even set our sights on it."
Jiang Baiyue's heart sank completely: "I'm going to discuss it with the patriarch."
Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Tiger Clan, who has always been very respectful and polite to him, has a strange aura this time. There were more than forty wild wolves. Even if there were, it was something that happened to the wolves, so what are you worried about." - He even secretly accused him of having too many things, not like a witch who devoutly serves the beast god.
Jiang Baiyue was confused: "Where is he making such a fuss?"
"I think, I'm afraid that you set the rules for the Tiger Clan before and offended him." Shi Chen carefully asked the Tiger Clan patriarch's reaction, and analyzed, "Generally, what a witch can do is divination, healing, etc. You have been doing it before. Inventing new things is also considered to be in the category of witches. But last time, you directly set the rules for stealing and robbery, which is usually the power of the patriarch. You did it without knowing him."
Jiang Bai was stunned, thought for a long time and sighed: "Didn't I think so much? Then go apologize to him now?"
Thinking about it, he was indeed careless. When he heard that a ten-year-old orphan was being bullied, he was so angry that he asked Shichen, who had come to see him, to help him. By the way, he summoned the entire Tiger Clan without asking the patriarch.
"no need."
However, Shi Chen shook his head.
"The key now is not that you exceed your authority."
"what?"
"It doesn't matter if you hold a meeting. What he really cares about is that when you hold a meeting, all the clansmen will really come. The rules you set will be followed by everyone. This is what really made him turn against you. "
Jiang Bai suddenly understood.
The point is not what he does, but how the Tiger Clan responds to his actions.This incident is enough to reflect the respect, or awe, of the Tiger Clan towards Jiang Baiyue.This is what the patriarch cannot forgive.
Jiang Baiyue's prestige has been getting higher and higher during this period, and the patriarch didn't show any dissatisfaction, so he ignored the possible grudges behind it.But looking back at this moment, Jiang Baiyue suddenly realized that at some point, the patriarch had stopped organizing Bai Yue and Shi Chen to get married, and instead said indistinctly, "The marriage should be settled after so long."
Thinking about it now, this is probably because the patriarch has a sense of crisis. From the beginning he hoped to keep Jiang Baiyue for the Tiger Clan, now he hopes to let this person who hinders his power and prestige leave the Tiger Clan as soon as possible.
What happened this time was the last straw that broke the camel's back. No matter whether Jiang Baiyue would "overstep his authority" in the future, he could not eliminate this thorn in the patriarch's heart.
The more Jiang Bai thought about it, he turned his head and glanced at Shi Chen——ah, the gap between people.He himself is a scientist, and Shi Chen, at the beginning, it was fine if he was a general in the world, but what happened later?The son of a farmer with a very low social status in the Western fantasy background is a primitive man in this life, but many times he seems to know how to do these communicative and political matters innately.
And Jiang Baiyue has been through several lifetimes, and he has also cultivated this quality, but his first reaction is that he is not as fast as others.That's why there is a problem of not being thoughtful in doing things in a hurry after knowing that the child has been robbed.Only then did he need to be reminded every moment to catch the key to the patriarch's turning his face.
"Now, what do you want to do? A Yue?" Shi Chen asked while staring at his lover's profile.
"I don't want to conflict with the patriarch." Jiang Baiyue recalled the old man who supported him strongly at the beginning, and sighed a little unbearably, but his expression was still firm, "But it is impossible for me to know that the wolves will threaten us and ignore it."
To be honest, he once owned a country, became a belief in a continent, a group of 200 people... emmmm, I don't like it.But the patriarch would not believe that he had other thoughts.
It was another family meeting, and Jiang Baiyue brought up this matter in public, suggesting that this winter, the tiger clan and the wolf clan should stay together and tide over the crisis together.For example, the tribes of the two tribes form together, patrol, guard, go out for food together, and so on.
The patriarch of the tiger tribe sneered after hearing this: "Is this what the great witch means? So impatient to let the tiger tribe integrate into the wolf tribe? Don't forget, great witch, you are not the partner of the wolf tribe chief, but the great witch of the tiger tribe."
Bai Yue understood at once that the patriarch had suspected him to such an extent that he believed that the news this time was false, and that it was Jiang Baiyue and Shi Chen's lies for the sake of power and to make the wolf clan swallow the tiger clan.
"Patriarch, this news is true."
The patriarch of the tiger clan let out a sneer: "More than 100 wolves attacked together? The big witch thought we would believe such absurd things?"
He said to the people around him: "Do you believe it? In previous winters, even if there were wolves, there were no more than forty or fifty wolves. One hundred? This is a complete lie!"
The patriarch and the great witch showed signs of tit-for-tat, and the clansmen were a little overwhelmed and worried.
And the Patriarch continues.With anger on his face, he said loudly: "I am more inclined, this is a conspiracy by the wolf clan to annex us! Our big witch and the wolf clan are too close! I am really worried, saying that it is cooperation. Later, we Will be controlled by the wolf tribe... I said this not for selfishness, not to keep controlling the power of the patriarch. In fact, I have already considered the candidate for the next patriarch. Jiang Wei, you are our best young orc, I hope you will take over my duties when I am old, and I hope you will exercise good judgment now."
Jiang Baiyue was a little surprised, but soon understood the motive of the patriarch's sudden mention of Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei is the most powerful young orc of the Tiger Clan, and he has a high prestige in the clan. Most of the young Tiger Clan orcs trust him—even because Lan Ying is "hated by the beast god" it doesn't affect his status. , and more importantly, Lanying and Jiang Baiyue had too deep a conflict.The patriarch believed that if Jiang Wei refused to agree firmly, Jiang Baiyue would have great resistance no matter what he wanted to do.
However, before Jiang Wei could open his mouth, Lan Ying said, "I would rather believe it or not. If it is true, we should discuss it with the wolf clan as soon as possible and deal with it together."
As soon as his words came out, even Jiang Baiyue looked at him in astonishment.
Are you kidding me?
This is Lanying?
He meant to support Jiang Baiyue?
Under the weird eyes of everyone, Lan Ying pursed her lips and said nothing.His belly is already high at this time, and he will be born in more than a month.
He still hated Jiang Baiyue, but it had to be said that it was more of fear.The energy displayed by the other party terrified him, and made him dare not fight against the other party again.He even had to admit that deep down in his heart, he had begun to believe that what Jiang Baiyue did must be reasonable—a person with that kind of magical power probably could really get some news that others couldn't detect, right?
Lan Ying couldn't see Jiang Bai being better, but he cherished his life even more.
If there were really more than 100 wolves staring at the tribe, following Jiang Baiyue might be the safest choice.
Lan Ying held Jiang Wei's hand tightly, and the latter turned his head to look at his partner, and said, "I also think it's better to be cautious, just in case."
With Dawu's suggestion and Jiang Wei's support, most of the clansmen were persuaded.Even if some people actually wondered in their hearts whether Dawu wanted the Tiger Clan to merge with the Wolf Clan...they didn't object.
It's very simple, the various changes of the tiger clan are brought about by Jiang Baiyue, and everyone in the wolf clan is familiar with it, and they use the same kind of copper coins for transactions every day. Moreover, everyone knows how the life of the wolf clan is, so it is better than the tiger clan. Poor.So, a small corner of my heart couldn't help but say... so what if it really merged?
The patriarch said that Jiang Baiyue was doing it for selfishness, but he really made everyone fed and clothed, and no one died so far this winter.Even if the tiger clan is still the tiger clan, and he can't be the head of the clan, Jiang Wei, who is most likely, thinks that he should join forces with the wolf clan, so what is there to say?
The merging of tribes is completely different from the merging of countries in later generations. A tribe usually has hundreds of people, and even a little natural disaster and disease may wipe out the entire army. It is not uncommon to merge with each other in order to survive. It is also like artificially combining two natural villages into one later. administrative village.
What a big deal?
The patriarch was furious, but he couldn't change Jiang Baiyue's hands raised one by one when he called everyone to show their hands to vote.
The cooperation between the Wolf Clan and the Tiger Clan is considered settled.Together with Jiang Baiyue, Shi Chen formed a team of strong orcs and archery females from the two tribes. Some went on patrol, some made equipment such as bows and arrows, and some were responsible for finding food in safe areas to replenish reserves—such as digging out mice If you are lucky, dozens of catties of grain are often hidden in the hole, and the mice and their families can also have a good meal—and some dig defensive ravines outside the clan's land.
Jiang Baiyue originally said to build a wall so that everyone can hide behind the wall and shoot arrows, isn't it good?
In the end, it was brutally rejected by Time: "Ayue, don't you look at the extension of our clan? How long will it take to build the wall? The wolves came before they were built. Just find a direction without a wall and attack."
……All right.
When it comes to fighting, Jiang Bai has to admit that he just doesn't have this talent.
"Then what do you think we can do?"
"Prepare a safe hole for the elderly, children, and females to hide."
After thinking about it, Shi Chen took a branch and drew a schematic diagram on the ground.
The wolf family is on a relatively flat terrain, with the forest to the south and the tiger family to the north.The tiger family is backed by a mountain in the north, and a large lake in the east. Only the west side may be unprotected and undefended. In terms of, the mountain in the north can be regarded as a natural and safe barrier.
"Let's prepare a safe hole on the mountain and send more patrols to the west. If the wolves attack from the south, our wolf clan will be able to find it. The east cannot pass through, and only the west is easy to attack. Dig a ditch to protect it. In case of accidents, take the old and the young of the two races to the safe cave to settle down, and the orcs can also concentrate on protecting the rear, so as not to be defeated one by one."
This is a good idea, Jiang Baiyue made arrangements according to his words, while Shi Chen led the orcs to patrol and strengthen the defense.After several days like this, there was no sign of any wolves. Gradually, some people began to become restless: on a cold day, who would like to run around outside without any results?
Finally someone couldn't help resisting:
"The patriarch of the wolf clan, we don't want to wander around the clan every day. This consumes a lot of energy, and we don't have enough food in winter. I haven't seen a single wolf these days. Is it really necessary to continue?"
"I can't guarantee that the wolves will attack, but we also can't guarantee that the wolves won't. So for safety, this is the best choice." Shi Chen replied coldly.
"I've had enough, every day..."
"Boss! Boss!" A loud voice sounded from a distance, interrupting the dispute that was about to erupt.
Shi Chen recognized that it was Shi Hou, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"...wolves... wild wolves!" An iron-gray wolf came running wildly, shouting out of breath that there are wolves.This scene is actually quite funny, but no one can laugh.
"Which direction? How much?"
"To the west of the Tiger Clan, there must be about 120 of them..." Shi Brown ran up and turned into a human form, "A few brothers are still staying there, but they will definitely not be able to stand it! The terrain over there is flat! The wolves must be will disperse!"
His voice was so loud that everyone around heard it, and there was a commotion immediately.The one who yelled the most fiercely and didn't want to do it just now, his face turned blue and white.
Someone panicked: "My wife and children are at home! My house is on the west side!"
"It's over, it's over, the west side is flat and unobstructed, and it can't be stopped at all. This dispersion will all enter the village!"
"Why are you panicking?" Shi Chen yelled to stop their panic and commotion, and stared at each one with stern eyes, "Why are you shaking?! When our time is wasted? The tripwires and trenches are all ready, why not?" Is it that easy to break into the clan land? Females, young and old, will definitely be taken to the safe cave by Ayue, all you have to do is follow me now and go to the west to fight!"
"--going or not?!"
"Go!" A group of orcs shouted in unison, as if they had a backbone in an instant.Thinking about the arrangements I made during this period, I finally feel at ease.
"Okay, now, change back to beast form! Let's go!"
"Yes!"
A group of mixed wolves and tigers quickly rushed to the west of the tiger tribe. When they arrived, they saw more than ten giant wolves and tigers guarding behind a trench, and the endless, silver-gray waves of "fur tides", Wave after wave rushed over from the west, and fell into the trench dug by the two races during the overtime work.
This ditch was calculated to ensure that wild beasts would not be able to leap over in one step, and in front of the ditch, under Bai Yue's suggestion, sharp iron and porcelain pieces were carefully buried in the soil.
At first, iron was used, but now the amount of iron ore mined is still too small, and later they switched to porcelain that Jiang Baiyue taught everyone to make temporarily, at least the raw materials are no problem.
The wild wolves ran over without knowing it, their paws stepped on the land, and they were immediately cut by the sharp edges buried in it, with painful howls from their throats.
They endured the pain and ran two more steps, only to find that there was a wide ditch in front of them. They instinctively knew that they couldn't get over it, and wanted to stop immediately, but the wolves behind them couldn't stop, panting excitedly, eager His eyes were fixed on the village not far away, and his four legs were desperately running forward.
As a result, the wolf in front was almost pushed and pushed into the deep ditch.
"Ow!"
The wolf fell heavily into the ditch, which was about seven or eight meters deep.
Generally speaking, the jump height of wolves is four meters, and it can reach six meters in extreme cases.However, their claws were cut by the caltrops, which greatly affected their jumping ability, and they couldn't jump out of the ditch after repeated struggles.The wolves from behind came one after another, and fell heavily on the wolves below. They struggled into a ball, and no one could get out.
The orcs of the wolf clan and tiger clan were guarding the back of the ditch, looking at the struggling beasts triumphantly, and when they saw Shi Chen bringing people over, their faces showed excitement: "Patriarch! You are finally here! Your idea is really good , After such a long time, no wolf can rush over!"
"Don't take it lightly." Shi Chen took a look at the ditch and frowned, "There are more and more wild wolves falling down, and they will soon fill up the ditch, and then they will be able to come up with a single jump...Jiang Tong, take some Wine and oil, and flint!"
Just as he was speaking, a wild wolf suddenly jumped up from the deep ditch. Although it was immediately slaughtered by the orcs of the two tribes with quick eyes and quick hands, it also made everyone's heart tremble, and they dare not despise it anymore.Someone started throwing big stones to the bottom of the ditch desperately, smashing the wolves' heads and blood, and on the other side, Jiang Tong, who was ordered, immediately ran towards the village quickly, trying to get the flint as soon as possible.
Shi Chen led the young and strong men of the two tribes to fight against the large army of the wolf tribe, and on the other side, Jiang Baiyue also got the news of the tiger tribe who had reported the news early, and took a few people to go door-to-door to notify the old, young, sick, and disabled. Some females gathered and hurried to the cave in the north.
Unexpectedly, after finally settling in the cave, a wolf female who was looking out from the entrance of the cave suddenly let out a terrified cry.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Baiyue took a look, and found that he was an acquaintance named Rong Rong.
"Tiger clan master, great witch!" The other party's voice trembled a little, "There are several wild wolves at the foot of the mountain outside the cave entrance!"
The people of the Tiger Clan showed a little joy, celebrating the passing of the most difficult time. Afterwards, relying on the food Jiang Baiyue told them to store, plus the food they usually found outside, they can probably survive this winter, right?
But Jiang Baiyue couldn't feel at ease at the moment.

This is a good idea, Jiang Baiyue made arrangements according to his words, while Shi Chen led the orcs to patrol and strengthen the defense.After several days like this, there was no sign of any wolves. Gradually, some people began to become restless: on a cold day, who would like to run around outside without any results?
Finally someone couldn't help resisting:
"The patriarch of the wolf clan, we don't want to wander around the clan every day. This consumes a lot of energy, and we don't have enough food in winter. I haven't seen a single wolf these days. Is it really necessary to continue?"
"I can't guarantee that the wolves will attack, but we also can't guarantee that the wolves won't. So for safety, this is the best choice." Shi Chen replied coldly.
"I've had enough, every day..."
"Boss! Boss!" A loud voice sounded from a distance, interrupting the dispute that was about to erupt.
Shi Chen recognized that it was Shi Hou, frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"...wolves... wild wolves!" An iron-gray wolf came running wildly, shouting out of breath that there are wolves.This scene is actually quite funny, but no one can laugh.
"Which direction? How much?"
"To the west of the Tiger Clan, there must be about 120 of them..." Shi Brown ran up and turned into a human form, "A few brothers are still staying there, but they will definitely not be able to stand it! The terrain over there is flat! The wolves must be will disperse!"
His voice was so loud that everyone around heard it, and there was a commotion immediately.The one who yelled the most fiercely and didn't want to do it just now, his face turned blue and white.
Someone panicked: "My wife and children are at home! My house is on the west side!"
"It's over, it's over, the west side is flat and unobstructed, and it can't be stopped at all. This dispersion will all enter the village!"
"Why are you panicking?" Shi Chen yelled to stop their panic and commotion, and stared at each one with stern eyes, "Why are you shaking?! When our time is wasted? The tripwires and trenches are all ready, why not?" Is it that easy to break into the clan land? Females, young and old, will definitely be taken to the safe cave by Ayue, all you have to do is follow me now and go to the west to fight!"
"--going or not?!"
"Go!" A group of orcs shouted in unison, as if they had a backbone in an instant.Thinking about the arrangements I made during this period, I finally feel at ease.
"Okay, now, change back to beast form! Let's go!"
"Yes!"
A group of mixed wolves and tigers quickly rushed to the west of the tiger tribe. When they arrived, they saw more than ten giant wolves and tigers guarding behind a trench, and the endless, silver-gray waves of "fur tides", Wave after wave rushed over from the west, and fell into the trench dug by the two races during the overtime work.
This ditch was calculated to ensure that wild beasts would not be able to leap over in one step, and in front of the ditch, under Bai Yue's suggestion, sharp iron and porcelain pieces were carefully buried in the soil.
At first, iron was used, but now the amount of iron ore mined is still too small, and later they switched to porcelain that Jiang Baiyue taught everyone to make temporarily, at least the raw materials are no problem.
The wild wolves ran over without knowing it, their paws stepped on the land, and they were immediately cut by the sharp edges buried in it, with painful howls from their throats.
They endured the pain and ran two more steps, only to find that there was a wide ditch in front of them. They instinctively knew that they couldn't get over it, and wanted to stop immediately, but the wolves behind them couldn't stop, panting excitedly, eager His eyes were fixed on the village not far away, and his four legs were desperately running forward.
As a result, the wolf in front was almost pushed and pushed into the deep ditch.
"Ow!"
The wolf fell heavily into the ditch, which was about seven or eight meters deep.
Generally speaking, the jump height of wolves is four meters, and it can reach six meters in extreme cases.However, their claws were cut by the caltrops, which greatly affected their jumping ability, and they couldn't jump out of the ditch after repeated struggles.The wolves from behind came one after another, and fell heavily on the wolves below. They struggled into a ball, and no one could get out.
The orcs of the wolf clan and tiger clan were guarding the back of the ditch, looking at the struggling beasts triumphantly, and when they saw Shi Chen bringing people over, their faces showed excitement: "Patriarch! You are finally here! Your idea is really good , After such a long time, no wolf can rush over!"
"Don't take it lightly." Shi Chen took a look at the ditch and frowned, "There are more and more wild wolves falling down, and they will soon fill up the ditch, and then they will be able to come up with a single jump...Jiang Tong, take some Wine and oil, and flint!"
Just as he was speaking, a wild wolf suddenly jumped up from the deep ditch. Although it was immediately slaughtered by the orcs of the two tribes with quick eyes and quick hands, it also made everyone's heart tremble, and they dare not despise it anymore.Someone started throwing big stones to the bottom of the ditch desperately, smashing the wolves' heads and blood, and on the other side, Jiang Tong, who was ordered, immediately ran towards the village quickly, trying to get the flint as soon as possible.
Shi Chen led the young and strong men of the two tribes to fight against the large army of the wolf tribe, and on the other side, Jiang Baiyue also got the news of the tiger tribe who had reported the news early, and took a few people to go door-to-door to notify the old, young, sick, and disabled. Some females gathered and hurried to the cave in the north.
Unexpectedly, after finally settling in the cave, a wolf female who was looking out from the entrance of the cave suddenly let out a terrified cry.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Baiyue took a look, and found that he was an acquaintance named Rong Rong.
"Tiger clan master, great witch!" The other party's voice trembled a little, "There are several wild wolves at the foot of the mountain outside the cave entrance!"
