Ice and snow covered the land, and all the animals disappeared almost instantly. Walking in the forest, it seemed that only Lin Xu and the old priest were left in the vast land.The old priest was wearing the thick down jacket that Lin Xu provided him, and he was holding a hot water bottle in his arms. When he got these things from Lin Xu, he looked at Lin Xu differently.

Although the old priest wanted to ask several times, he finally held back. He just talked and acted differently from before.

Although his eyes were cloudy, he was not blind.

Lin Xu took good care of this old man all the way. He could see a little shadow of his father from this old man, but the shadow was so faint that Lin Xu thought it was just his own illusion.

Because his father should be in a warm home, watching TV, with a golden retriever and two cats, one black and one yellow, nestled by their feet.I may still be reading the newspaper, and I have a cup of brewed tea in hand.His mother would complain that he was too lazy to look like a human being, while instructing him to cook in the kitchen.

And the food cooked by my father is always better than that made by my mother. Slowly, the kitchen became my father's base.

Mother unloaded the burden of cooking.

"It will be there in one more day." Lin Xu said to the old priest.

The old priest nodded. He looked at Lin Xu's thin clothes, and compared the airtightness of his already wrapped clothes. He didn't feel cold after wearing so many layers. He said embarrassedly, "Thank you for your hard work."

Lin Xu shook his head: "It's not too hard, just work hard."

The old priest is not tall, maybe he was 1.6 meters when he was young, but his height has shrunk as he got old, and now he is only about 1.5 meters tall. He said enviously: "I don't know your tribe, do you Everyone is as tall as you."

"No." Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Xu began to clear the snow on a flat ground, planning to set up a tent.

The old priest was with Lin Xu beside him, but he was not as fast as Lin Xu. He watched Lin Xu shovel snow with the shovel, and wanted to reach out to touch the shovel several times, his eyes almost glowed green.

Of course Lin Xu saw it, so he handed over the shovel and touched the sweat secreted from his forehead due to labor.

The shovel is an ordinary shovel, but even such an ordinary thing gave the old priest a great shock. He touched it almost piously, just like touching the most precious thing in the world, his lips could not help but Trembling, a little speechless.

"What is this?" he asked.

Lin Xu replied: "The shovel is very handy for shoveling snow or soil."

"Can't use it as a weapon?" The old priest was a little disappointed, "It must be a good weapon."

Lin Xu smiled: "Its structure is not suitable for making weapons, and there are better things suitable for it."

The old priest's eyes were too bright: "What? Can I see it?"

Lin Xu took out his pocket knife and handed the tip of the knife towards him.

The old priest held the handle of the knife and took it over carefully. His fingers lightly rested on the blade, and a small cut was made immediately. A few drops of blood spilled out, but it was enough to show the sharpness of the knife. He exclaimed, "This is a miracle."

"It's human power." Lin Xu said, "It's something that people can make by themselves, and they don't need to rely on God."

But in front of such an old priest, Lin Xu couldn't directly deny the existence of God, he could only say: "God is too busy to take care of everything, but man can concentrate on his own affairs."

The old priest nodded approvingly: "Yes, although God is omnipotent, his energy must be limited. You can't pray to God for everything."

Lin Xu has already set up the tent. The tent is newly bought, the thickest one, and has received a lot of positive reviews.The only few bad reviews are that the express delivery is too slow, and the space inside is not small.A self-inflating cushion is also presented.

After the tent was set up, Lin Xu began to collect dead wood branches to make a fire. He brought several packs of instant noodles, cooked two packs for himself and the old priest, and tore a few pieces of cakes into it.The two ate everything, not even the soup left.After eating and drinking, the old priest lay down in the tent and watched the sky slowly turn dark.

He felt that even when he was the most affluent, he never had such a good life, not to mention that it is the worst winter he has ever seen.He has not had enough to eat for a long, long time.Even the priests of the tribe can't get enough to eat, let alone those ordinary tribesmen.This made the old priest's mood drop to freezing point again because of the improvement of the food and tent.

The old priest has lived for too long, and there is no one left of his age. Now all the people in the tribe are his juniors, and he almost watched them all grow up.In the eyes of the old priest, these tribesmen are all his children.But now, he is wearing warm clothes and eating delicious food that he has never eaten before.I thought that I would suffer hardships along the way, but I didn't expect to come to enjoy the blessings.So he was full of guilt and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Xu saw the change in the old priest's mood, and diverted his attention and said, "My tribe was only established two years ago."

This sentence was very useful. The old priest immediately put aside all emotions, looked at Lin Xu intently, and encouraged Lin Xu to continue speaking with his eyes.

"At the beginning, there were only a dozen people, and a dozen disabled or old people who were abandoned by the original tribe. They couldn't eat enough, and they didn't have much energy." Lin Xu himself Drenched in memories.

"Then, we learned to tan the hides and make jerky when there was plenty of food. Many people went back that winter."

Lin Xu: "Now there are more than 100 people in our tribe. There are women, children, old people and warriors. They all have their own things to do and have enough food. No one is hungry or cold. They even built a house and have their own home .”

The old priest didn't quite believe it: "Such a good place... don't lie to me, an old man who is dying."

"I won't lie to you, you'll know when you go." Lin Xu lay beside the old priest. There was a big gap between the two of them. Each of them had a quilt. This was a compressible duvet, which Lin Xu carried on his back. It doesn't feel heavy at all.It was warm after shaking off.

The old priest didn't take off his clothes. He felt dirty and didn't want to dirty everything in the tent.

Before falling asleep, the two of them didn't speak again. They were both thinking about their own affairs, and each had their own headaches.

The old priest slept well, and he had a sweet dream. He dreamed that his people went to a tribe as described by Lin Xu, and all of them would live a good life without having to worry about it every day.And he himself will return to the former tribe, which is his life's painstaking effort, he will guard the empty tribe, and die contentedly in the original tent.

Sure enough, the two returned to Lin Xu's tribe in the afternoon of the second day.

A huge ice wall surrounded the tribe, and the warrior in charge of sentry opened the wooden door for Lin Xu and the old priest. As soon as the old priest walked into the city wall, he saw the houses of the tribe standing in the heavy snow, which he had never seen before. passed.He followed Lin Xu's footsteps to the lounge with a look of surprise.

The women were talking and laughing about weaving cotton thread, the old men were roasting potatoes while chatting over the brazier, and the boys were chasing and playing.Those off-duty warriors were lazily lying on the carpet made of animal skins, playing poker.

All this surprised the old priest, he felt that he had come to another world.This world is like the world of gods imagined by the old priest himself.In God's world, there is no cold and hunger, no cannibalism.It's where they go back after they die.

The old priest knelt down on the ground, his eyes filled with tears, he didn't know whether he was moved by this ordinary and warm scene, or he was sad for his clansmen who were still suffering.

Lin Xu helped the old priest up.

It was only then that the members of the tribe discovered Lin Xu and the others.

They stood up and saluted devoutly, and said respectfully to Lin Xu, "Chris."

The old priest has lived to this age, of course he knows the meaning of the three words "Chris", not only the meaning of father and brother, but also the meaning of "God who cares for everyone".

All the fragments along the way flashed in his mind like a movie.With the innumerable things in Lin Xu's bag, warm tents and delicious food, he always thought that Lin Xu was just an ordinary warrior, and all his things came from the people of his tribe or God's gift.

But now, he came to his senses and finally realized that the god of Lin Xu's tribe he imagined was actually Lin Xu.

The old priest was a devout believer of God, he hurriedly stood up from the ground, wanting to rush out like crazy.

Lin Xu stopped him and took his arm. After all, the old priest couldn't compete with an upright man in his prime. He was forced to stand where he was. The fear of God was rooted in his bones and blood, and he shivered. : "God who belongs to this continent, please let me go back to my tribe. We have our own beliefs, and we must not change them."

Lin Xu was stunned. He had been to many tribes before, and those tribes all believed in their own gods, but although they believed in it, it didn't mean that they were so firm.As soon as they encountered problems related to survival, they fell and scattered, and their beliefs could not fill their stomachs.

But with this old priest, Lin Xu suddenly discovered that in the eyes of some people, faith can outweigh a life of food and clothing.They would rather lay down their lives than turn their backs on the God of their choice.

This made Lin Xu think of Ke Si who was still in the land of death. He couldn't help thinking, what would Ke Si do if he left this land?Will he shoulder the responsibilities of the tribe, and will he be able to pass on what he taught him?Even—whether he would give up his life to follow him.
