Survive in the beast world

Li Shizhen was also a little stunned. God knows, he just pretended to be a magic stick just now to stabilize everyone and give Yu'am and the others a little confidence. go on.Could it be that the first time pretending to be a magic stick was so effective? As the figure approached, Li Shizhen realized that it was Bai who had come back and brought back a lot of prey, many of which were alive. These ten or so young people obviously He also hurried back, with a layer of snow all over his body, and Ahu also rushed down beside him.

Seeing the scene under the holy fir, a group of young people were very anxious. They had heard about the snow season in the past, but they did not expect that the snow fell so early this time, and these old people and the females who had passed the ceremony were actually there when they were not around. A decision was made.

Bai directly threw the things to Li, and quickly ran over by himself.

Li Shizhen was a little disappointed and heaved a sigh of relief. Although it wasn't Chiapa and the others, Bai and the others could at least control the situation better when they came back. With more people and more strength, they could better rescue Yangapa underneath.

The Yuamu females were a little disappointed when they saw that it was Bai who came back. However, it cannot be said that the holy fir was not effective. Bai and the others did bring back their prey from the south. Everyone glanced at each other. Can those wishes come true?Are all the males who went south to the Howling Dale coming back?Maybe they could all survive this snow season?

For a moment, a slight ray of hope penetrated the heavy snowflakes and lit up in everyone's heart.

When Bai came back, he saw Li Shizhen and Yu'am standing under Shengcong. Although their eyes were red, at least they were still standing there. He was slightly relieved, and Li Shizhen quickly said in a few words: Apa and Lan Amu went in, just now Yu Amu was going in too, I stopped you, you..."

Bai patted Li Shizhen comfortingly, then turned back and said to Amu Yu: "Amu, we have hunted a lot of prey, and found a lot of edible things in the lake. This snow season will definitely last!"

Then he glanced at Li Shizhen, looked around at everyone present, and said loudly: "I'm going to bring Yang Apa and A'Mu up now."

Several Eminem said at the same time: "No!" "Don't go!" "No!"

Yu'am reached out and grabbed Bai's hand: "No, don't go down! No one came out after entering the snow cave. Shengcong never let the person who went down come back. It has been the same for many snow seasons before. You can't bring you back even if you go down. Yang Apa and the others! If your Lan Amu is here, you will not be let down!"

When Ache and Aman heard what Yu Amu said, they cried "wow" again, and for a while, the females with relatives in the snow cave also cried bitterly.

But Bai yelled loudly: "Don't cry!" He took a deep breath, and said to Yu Amu: "Amu, do you remember that year? I walked in the snow alone for so long, and came to the holy city. In front of Cong, you and Lan Amu saved me. I was fine last time because of the blessing of Shengcong. I will definitely be fine when I enter the snow cave this time. Shengcong will continue to protect me, you believe me."

Yu'am was choked with sobs and couldn't speak for a while, and under the ups and downs of his mood, he could only hold Baibao's hand tightly and shake his head desperately.However, Bai's mind was made up, he hugged Aunt Yu, and handed him over to Li Shizhen who was beside him.

Li Shizhen supported Yu'am, but his heart skipped a beat, no one ever came back?In such a place similar to a burial cave, the air must not circulate, and it is cold here. He was a little anxious for a while, not knowing whether Yang Apa and the others below could bear it, and a little worried for a while, not knowing It's not safe to go down in vain.

"I'll go with you!" Li Shizhen insisted on watching.

Bai shook his head and looked at Li Shizhen seriously: "I'll go down first, and if the situation doesn't go right, I'll come back immediately. You stay here and take care of Ah Mu and the others, Ah Hao, be obedient!"

Facing those clear blue eyes, Li Shizhen saw Bai's determination and pleading, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

Xiao Heyong came up later and probably heard what happened, "I'll go down with you." "I'll go too!"

Bai waved his hand: "You stay on top first, I'll go and see the situation first, too many people will make it difficult to deal with, and troubles will easily arise."

Li Shizhen calmed down a little, thought about it carefully, and then confessed to Bai, and then asked Amu, who was in charge of the warehouse next to him, for some things.He dug out the plastic bag left in his schoolbag. The bread bag didn’t weigh much or take up space, so he kept it in his schoolbag all the time. He filled it with air, tied it tightly and handed it to Bai, just in case. A bit of spare fresh air if you can't breathe well.

According to Li Shizhen's request, Ah Mu found a long rope and a torch from the warehouse. Li Shizhen tied the rope around Bai's waist. In case something happened, he asked Bai to shake the rope according to the agreed signal They are also easy to respond to.

Bai held the torch, and the group circled dozens of meters to the back of Shengcong. Only then did Li Shizhen see clearly that there was a natural cave on the back of the big tree near the snow peak, which was very cold and dark. , I don't know how deep it is.

Li Shizhen was uneasy, but at this moment, he could only pray sincerely so that Bai and the old people could return safely.He pulled Bai, stuffed the holy fir into the pouch on Bai's waist, and then watched Bai enter the gloomy cave with the torch lit.That little bit of faint fire seemed so small in the dark cave, flickering and might go out at any time.

Holy fir, you just echoed my wish like that, if you have a spirit, please bless everyone to come back safely.

Li Shizhen bowed his head silently, with a devout and silent expression.He prayed silently in his heart, raised his head and took a deep breath.

He had to do something to avoid the uneasiness and wild thoughts at the moment.Carefully pondering the various possible situations in which Bai came out.Quickly, he directed the equally restless Amu beside him to boil hot water, prepare warm animal skins, beds, and long branches.

Aunt Yu, who was in an ups and downs mood, was helped by two young females arranged by Li Shizhen to go back to rest, but Amu Yu refused to leave, and she would only feel at ease when she saw Bai came back. Li Shizhen didn't stop her, but just let the two A female supported him to rest on the side.

He left four males on one side to carefully observe the rope at the entrance of the cave. If there is any movement, he will immediately notify everyone to pull him out.Li Shizhen repeatedly told these males that if they shake the rope in vain, it is likely that the air inside is not clean, even if they go in to drag someone, they have to hold their breath, and if it doesn't work, they should back out immediately, and they must not be brave.But he himself has made a decision silently, if not, he will definitely rush in and drag Bai out.

The rest of the males were told by Li Shizhen to make simple stretchers out of animal skins and branches.He was afraid that the elderly would be in bad condition when they came out, and that carrying them would make them uncomfortable, so once they were rescued, they immediately used stretchers and thick warm animal skins to keep them warm.

Li Shizhen called Ahu and several other females who were relatively stable in mood, and carefully and repeatedly explained to them how to give first aid when the old people came out, how to massage the limbs, how to wipe with warm water, how to keep warm, until they repeat correct.

At this moment, a cry came from the entrance of the cave: "Quick, come out, come out!" "Where is that wooden frame, hurry up!" "Beast skin! Wrap it up!" "It's still alive!"

The crowd burst into tears of joy, weeping and laughing, and according to Li Shizhen's explanation, they arranged people in stretchers and covered them with thick animal skins.

Li Shizhen couldn't squeeze through for a while, but seeing Bai standing upright from the gap in the crowd, everyone seemed to just remove two people from him. Looking at his figure and clothes, one of them should be Yang Apa, Li Shi Hao heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the silent tall trees, a sense of unreasonable awe rose in his heart.

Seeing people gathered around the entrance of the snow cave, Li Shizhen said in a loud voice, "Don't surround them, spread out, it's not good to surround them!" Spreading out, he turned his head and told the females around him to let them take charge of an old man later, and make sure to let them recover their body temperature slowly.

At this time the crowd had already dispersed, and Li Shizhen ran over to follow the stretcher and looked at the two rescued elderly people. Both Yang Apa and Shi Amu were not in good health, and their faces were very pale.

Yang Apa seemed to be wrapped in warm animal skins, regained a little consciousness, and murmured something, Li Shichen leaned down and listened, "Alan...Alan..."

Li Shizhen tucked the animal skin for the old man, and whispered in his ear: "Aunt Lan will be back soon." The old man seemed to have stopped worrying and whispering.

Li Shizhen stopped and watched the two stretchers quickly carried to the warm stone house in the north. The situation was much better than he expected. It seems that the old people did not go in for too long.

When Li Shizhen turned around, Bai was already organizing several males to go in with him. Li Shizhen guessed that the conditions in the cave might not be as bad and terrible as he had imagined at first, otherwise Bai would not have organized people like this.

Bai didn't bother to greet this side, he saw that Li Shizhen had arranged everything properly, so he immediately turned his head and carefully told the next group of people who went in with him, where to hold their breath, and to hold their breath if they recited it. How to get out quickly, how to shake the rope in case of any situation, and how to respond to the people outside, he arranged it as usual during hunting. Fortunately, everyone has a tacit understanding during this time, and after a while, they tied the rope again and prepared to enter cave.

Li Shizhen didn't know the situation below, but Bai knew it. He used up the plastic bag Li Shizhen gave him just now, just because he couldn't find anyone underneath, so he crossed the road and felt dizzy for a while. Fortunately, there is this spare air, otherwise he can only pull the rope.This time he had figured out the way below, filled the bag with gas again, prepared the torch again, and then set off.

Seeing that the snow cave was in order, Li Shizhen turned around and saw that the frightened children had been comforted by the females, so he asked them to take the children back first.He himself immediately rushed to the stone house where the old people rested. After all, they were all old and had been frozen for a while, and they needed to warm up slowly. I am afraid that I will have to boil some warm soup later.

The two sides were busy separately. Fortunately, the old people didn't go in for a long time. There were a few fainted, but they were still breathing. Because Lan Amu was younger and in good health, she insisted on coming out until the end, but she was also a little bit cold. He was so stiff that he couldn't walk, but fortunately, his breathing and thinking were still normal. Ache and Aman took care of him every step of the way, so Li Shizhen felt relieved.

Everyone in the valley finally settled down, and all kinds of thoughts before were gradually settled in this busyness.

All the old people had some frostbite on their bodies. Li Shizhen was usually active in Yangappa's wooden house. Knowing that he had these frostbite medicines there, he was going to go directly to get some.

In the distance, Li Shizhen saw Mu Apa. He didn't enter the snow cave, nor did he go in to stop Yang Apa and the others, but he kept watching silently. Li Shizhen was a little confused for a while. What kind of existence does the ferocious old man have for the valley, and what kind of feelings does the old man have for the valley?

The old man seemed to be in a daze, and it took a long time to find Li Shizhen who came over. He snorted coldly, turned around and left, and then Li Shizhen realized that the back of the tall old man he had always thought was so shambling, desolate and lonely lonely.

Yang Apa's wooden house is very tidy, so all the herbs that may be used have been prepared one by one. He even saw the knots and symbols arranged by Yang Apa on the table. Let's teach the next recorder one by one.

Li Shizhen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his chest, found the frostbite medicine marked by Yang Apa among the prepared herbs, and glanced at the things Yang Apa put on the table again. Going to touch those things, as if touching them is a kind of sacrilege, turned around and left the wooden house.

Bai and the others had already finished their work. They came over to take a look at the old people. They saw that there was nothing serious and the females were taking care of them, so they went to clean up the prey tied up at the mouth of the valley. .

Those prey were bundled up at the mouth of the valley in a mess, and everyone didn't pay attention to it for a while. There are so many prey that one or two people can't clean up. Bai directed the young males to drag the living prey to the hot spring area in the north. The shed fence in the house also came in handy.Those who were seriously injured and those who died were dealt with on the spot, and handed over to Yu Amu and the rest of the females who had cheered up to cook dinner.

After taking medicine and feeding some soup, seeing that a dozen or so old people had recovered, Li Shizhen and a group of females let go of a big stone in their hearts, leaving people around each old person to guard them, and the rest of them withdrew to the lakeside. In the clearing, after all the fuss, it was already dark.At this time, the dinner was ready, this rare and sumptuous meal, everyone was already hungry, but they were just silent and didn't know what to eat.

For many young people present, the old people and females walking into the snow cave during the heavy snow season are just sad stories passed down from old people. If Li Shizhen hadn't stopped them in time today, and they came back in time, this tragedy would have happened to them own relatives.

The females finished eating silently, and went into the stone house to replace the ones who stayed behind. Bai also relaxed a little at this moment, and sat next to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen had never seen Bai look so tired before, he lowered his head and said sadly: "I don't care about the two girls too much."

Li Shizhen gave him a comforting hug, and the two hugged each other quietly, speechless for a while.For them, there were too many things to reflect on in this accident, and they almost lost those respectable old people. Now, all they need is a warm embrace to comfort each other's shaking souls.Then, brace yourself and move forward.

After a brief comfort to each other, the two ate the unknown dinner in two or three bites, and each split up to arrange the follow-up work, night patrol, care of the old people, and feeding of the prey in the hot spring area.

The two people who returned to the stone house were already exhausted, and they only took a breath when lying on the bed. This feeling of physical and mental exhaustion was really uncomfortable. The two exchanged some information with each other. It has come, there are many tasks to be arranged, and many omissions to be summarized.

During the heavy snow season, old people and females will walk into the snow cave silently. Although it is a tradition, Li Shizhen still feels an unspeakable sadness. All the warmth and comfort he felt when he came to this valley Living and friendly people, looking back now, it is so difficult for such a warm valley to stretch until now.

However, Li Shizhen still couldn't agree with such an approach. Things have not reached a desperate situation. Why are they so pessimistic?Isn't it too ignorant to follow the tradition blindly?Perhaps too many traditions and events have been recorded, and old people like Yang Apa have been preparing for this day?

Had they been ignoring these ritualized men in the valley all this time?Although young people are impetuous and prone to problems, these old people and adult females also need attention.

Both of them believed too much in these people's ability to resist stress and self-adjustment, and many plans did not involve them, which resulted in poor communication of information. Their emotions are not as obvious as the young people's, and they are not easy to detect and sweep away; and they also fail to know that many of the young people's enthusiastic and energetic plans are actually feasible, and things are not so desperate at all.

It's not just young people who need to change and grow up in the valley.

On the other hand, the two of them have to come up with an idea about the various tasks in the valley for a period of time.

Li Shizhen glanced blankly: "Chiapa and the others haven't come back, are you going to meet them?"

Bai Shenyin: "I asked Emma about that place today, it's too far away, I'm afraid it will take too long to come and go, and," Bai smiled wryly, "there are not so many people in the valley now. We can only let the patrol The team should go a little farther, try to go as far as possible to respond."

Li Shixuan sighed, and stretched out his fingers to count them one by one: "Yang Apa and the others need to arrange people to take care of them. The snow has already fallen, and the pine fruit will be picked soon, so we can't delay any longer. On my side, Pay close attention to planting corn and raising animals. You have brought so many living creatures back, and many people have to collect grass and leaves every day just to feed them. By the way, how is your research on fish and so on? ?”

"There are many that can be eaten, and few that cannot be eaten. I think those animals are okay to eat. I'm afraid I have to try it myself next time. I don't know how it was rumored that fish is poisonous in the past."

Li Shixuan nodded: "Try next time, I haven't eaten fish for a long time, but it's best to eat this kind of food step by step, and try to eat it little by little to see if there will be any problems. As for the rumor, It may be that only a few fish are poisonous, but if they are cooked together, the whole pot is poisonous."

Bai nodded in agreement, and frowned: "I'm afraid the lake will freeze soon during the snow season. The salvage you said can work?"

Li Shizhen was a little surprised: "Ice? I'm afraid you can't cast a net on the ice. How to salvage it? If the ice is too thick, the boat can't go through it."

After Bai reacted, he sighed deeply: "There is really not enough manpower." He planned in his mind what he was going to do soon, fishing, hunting, and arranging patrols, not counting fir fruit picking. A headache.

Li Shizhen also nodded: "Indeed." He also silently counted the planting, breeding, caring for the elderly and children, and arranging daily cooking, not counting the picking of fir fruit, and he also had a headache.

The two of them thought carefully, the snow had already fallen, and once the fir fruits were ripe, they had to be picked immediately, and they could not be delayed any longer. The lake would freeze during the snow season, and when the time came to salvage fish, even if they knew what the non-poisonous species were, they would not be afraid. The method is to use Li Shizhen's method to salvage on a large scale, and planting and breeding is also a long-term rewarding job, so we must start now.What a shortage of people!

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Mum and them!" Then they looked at each other and smiled.

Now Chiapa and the others still haven't come back, but the fir fruit in the valley has not been picked, the fish in the lake has not been caught, and there are many kinds of farming and planting, all of which require manpower. Why don't we include the old people and Amu into this system? , busy, see hope naturally will not cranky.

In the past, it was just young people making small troubles. Although it seems to be very effective now, when the whole valley needs to work, a group of old people fell down, and Eminem and the others can no longer be placed outside the whole system like before.Moreover, it is better to take this opportunity to let them see some changes.

Bai took the lead and said: "It didn't work like that before. You can't let everyone come and go at will anymore. You have to arrange everyone's work as soon as possible. Eminem and you are no exception. Arrange whatever you want. In this way Maybe they'll be better off."

Before today's incident, the organization of young people was actually relatively loose. Everyone was divided into groups randomly.

Now it seems that perhaps we need to standardize the form of organization, make it more rigorous and efficient, and after such a big shock in the valley, perhaps such an effective form of organization will be more conducive to the stability of people's hearts.After all, if you have work to do every moment when you are anxious, and then you find that you are rewarded and motivated after doing the work, you will naturally not have so many distracting thoughts.

The two of them had made a general plan, so they both breathed a sigh of relief. The specific details can be discussed tomorrow, and finally they have an implementation plan.

Whether for Li Shizhen or Bai, they thought they were just "taking care" of the affairs of the valley, but now they have to be responsible for the affairs of the entire valley. They are a little caught off guard and under a lot of pressure. Neither of them had ever done anything like this.At least after having a reliable idea, both of them have a little bit of confidence in their hearts.

Under the faint light, Li Shizhen blinked his eyes and turned over. He was obviously very sleepy and tired, and the plan had been determined, but he couldn't sleep.The shock that happened to him today didn't realize how big it was until now, and it hasn't faded until now.

The guy next to him actually closed his eyes after discussing, his well-defined facial features were bright and dark in the low light, and he didn't know whether he was too tired or too calm, and he fell asleep so quickly.Li Shizhen was a little dazed, but fortunately this guy came back in time today, otherwise let alone rescued Yang Apa, he might even be a little reluctant to stop Yu'am.It seems that I am still not strong enough, there are always things that I can't do.

Not knowing where his thoughts drifted, Li Shizhen gradually closed his eyes. In a daze, he seemed to hear a soft sigh from beside him, and then his whole body was surrounded by the familiar body temperature again. This time, he really fell asleep. caught.

Under the warm light of the house, the interior is peaceful and quiet, and the snow outside has gradually stopped.This turbulent day is finally over.
