Otherworldly Survival

It was getting colder and colder this day, and the wind was like ice knives, and it hurt my face when it fell.

Dead people began to appear in the tribe, most of them were old people, some were sick and disabled, and occasionally there would be one or two children.

Carried by his family, accompanied by heavy snow, he was sent into a cave in the back mountain.

Over the quiet Maoyuan Tribe, there is a faint sadness.The sky, which was not very clear at first, seemed even darker.

Hai and Lang patrolled with the team yesterday, and a team came to replace them this morning. The two of them hurried home. Halfway through, they met a soldier, carrying an old man on his back, walking with deep feet and shallow feet. Looking at the direction, it is going to the cave in the back mountain.

This soldier is fairly familiar, and they went hunting together in the mountains twice.His name is Mu.

People will die every cold season, and Hai is used to this, but when passing by Mu, he feels that the old man is still breathing, although it is very weak.

As soon as he stopped, he spoke without even thinking about it. "Wood."

Mu seemed to have not heard Hai's call, and still walked towards the back mountain.

"Let's go." Lang took Hai's arm and pulled him forward.

Hai struggled twice. "Lon, he's not dead."

"There are six people in Mu's family, and they all rely on him to hunt alone." After a pause, Lang continued. "His father is already very weak. He will definitely not survive the cold season. If he doesn't send him to the back mountain, he will not have enough food."

This kind of thing is very common in tribes, especially for warriors without awakening totems, with many families, poor force value, and little meat, they are easy to die.

Mu's father was also a relatively powerful warrior, but when he just awakened the totem, he followed the team into the Great Evil Mountain, but met a thin-tailed snake, was poisoned by the snake, and his whole body began to age rapidly and his strength was exhausted , weaker than women by three points.

When the cold season came, he wanted to go to the back mountain, but was persuaded by his family. Unexpectedly, he still failed to survive the cold season.

"You can kill beasts." Hai was still a little uneasy.

Lang looked up at the mountain peak not far away, and smiled wryly twice. "Look, how many steps can you walk inside?"

After so many days of continuous snowfall, the mountains have already been covered with deep snow, and with one step on it, half of the whole person can go down.

In this situation, not to mention killing the beast, even the shadow of the beast could not be found.

The sea was silent.

"Go back." Lang said with a sigh, and patted Hai on the shoulder.

After the wooden bed was finished, Lang and his family of three moved back to their wooden house.

When they were about to get home, the two separated and went to their respective homes.

When Xia Jinming heard the sound of the door being pushed, he turned his little head and looked at the door of the house. There was a soft, milky voice. "ocean."

Hai immediately closed the door tightly, strode to the wooden bed, and hugged the child tightly.

Obviously feeling that Hai was in a mood at this time, Xia Jinming didn't make a sound, and let him hug him obediently, although the strength was a bit strong.

What's wrong?

"When I just came back, I saw Mu going to the back mountain with his father on his back..." The low voice seemed to be suppressing some kind of emotion, after a pause, Hai continued. "His father is still alive, but a little weak..."

He thought of his father, if he could live, he would do everything in his power to keep him alive.

Xia Jinming didn't quite understand what he said, but seeing Hai like this probably wasn't a good thing. After thinking about it, he stretched out his small arm and patted Hai's arm lightly.

After a long time, Xia Jinming said something softly. "Hai. Hungry."

"I'll get some fruit." Haisong let go of the child in Chunlou's arms, and brought some female fruits.

Xia Jinming crawled into the bed, and after sitting up, stretched out his small arms and patted his side.

Qing made him several little animal clothes, and now he is wearing two of them, which are warm, and he can finally do some movements happily, and he no longer has to worry about getting cold.

Hai climbed onto the wooden bed, sat next to the child, and fed him some female fruits.

After eating and drinking, Xia Jinming leaned comfortably in Hai's arms, his body was covered with thick mountain bear skin, he smacked his mouth, reminiscing about the delicious food just now, with a smile on his eyes and brows, his face was full of contentment.

Hai likes children like this, he will feel very happy when he looks at them.

The heavy negative emotions just now also disappeared.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, the sky is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind is blowing day and night. Occasionally, there is a deep rumbling sound, which is the sound of an old tree collapsing.

As the temperature dropped, more people died.

When it was Hai's turn to patrol with the team, he could see three or four times a day that someone was carrying or carrying the dead to the back of the mountain.

Some people are sad, while others are happy.

Because they know that the warm season is coming, as long as they survive this last period, the arrival of the warm season represents hope.

It's dawn, the day's patrol is over, and you can go home and nest.

Thinking of the children at home, Hai felt warm in his heart, and his numb and cold body seemed to gain strength all of a sudden, and his steps were almost two or three points faster.

"Hai." Yu struggled several times, but still walked over.

Li is the captain of their patrol team.

Hai stopped in a hurry. "Auntie."

"Is there any meat and firewood at home?" Yu knew that in this cold season, Hai spent alone with that child.

There was always worry in my heart, but I kept holding back and didn't ask.

"Yes." Hai replied, and wanted to leave, but looked at A Niang's expression, and said again. "It's all enough."

After speaking, he and Lang left.

Yu stood where he was, looking at his son's back, a little lost.

Li glanced at the side, grabbed Yu's hand, and walked home without saying a word.

Not long after Hai returned home, he heard a knock on the door.

He got out of bed, walked to the door, opened the door, took a look, and was stunned for a while. "Come in."

Mu entered the room, raised his eyes and looked around the room quickly.

Xia Jinming could clearly see that when the man saw the meat hanging under the roof beam, his eyes lit up obviously, and he had an idea in his mind.

"Hai." Mu's voice was very dry and hoarse, and he seemed very uneasy.

Hai looked at him and asked straightforwardly. "Is there something wrong?"

"Can you...can you..." repeated several times before Mu finally mustered up the courage to say a complete sentence. "Can you lend me some meat." Looking at the sea, she begged.

Hai looked at him silently. After a while, he stepped aside, took off two pieces of meat and handed them to Mu.

"I, I will pay you back. After the warm season comes." After speaking, Mu turned and left in a hurry.

Hai added a few pieces of firewood to the fire before walking to the bed and meeting the child's big black eyes. "He is wood."

Wood... a bit familiar.Xia Jinming tilted his head and thought for a while before he remembered who Mu was.

Suddenly, he understood what Hai said to him that day.

Then, Xia Jinming grinned at Hai, stretched out his hand and beckoned at him.

Hai Hai got on the wooden bed, sat next to the child, and held him in his arms.

Xia Jinming kissed him on the chin, and said with a smile on his face. "Sea. Good."

Hearing these two short words, the corners of Hai's mouth rose involuntarily, and his eyes were dark and bright.
