Xuanwu Rebirth Diary

It took a total of one month to build the new house, and by the time all Xuanwu and Seraphim could live in, the weather had already started to turn cold.

Because the soot has been covering the sky over the extreme north for several days, and the sun can't shine in, the temperature on the ground is much lower. When I get up to work early in the morning, the walls of the house are covered with hoarfrost, and it doesn't melt until noon.

The Xuanwu were curled up and sleeping in the cold stone house, their scales were frozen like ice, it would definitely not work like this.

Yue Liang walked through the burnt forest for several days, bowed his head and searched carefully, always looking for something.

He vaguely remembered that the human race seemed to have a way to turn half-burned wood into fuel. After asking Tai Yang, he knew that this kind of thing was called charcoal. After the wood was burned to a certain extent, it was sealed, and water and wood oil were slid out with the residual heat. , and finally obtain a fuel that can burn for a long time.

Tai Yang said that once the human race went to the east to conquer the Qinglong tribe, they ran out of food and grass at the end, so they cut down all the forests of Qinglong to make charcoal, and used this spiritual fire to burn down Qinglong City, causing Qinglong to become the first of the four phases to be killed. Extinct Protoss.

Let's not talk about this before, but because of this, the emperor also had some thoughts, thinking that there might be a lot of charcoal left in the giant tree water lake.

Yue Liang took a small pick and sickle, hung Tai Yang who had turned into a black dragon on his body every day, and ran to the ashes in the water lake to search for it.

The ashes from the giant wood and vines were burnt to the height of four people, and they were piled up in the original low-lying place. Be very careful when walking on it, as one foot will sink in if you go too fast. You can’t do it too hard, let alone more The movement is really difficult to walk.

Yueliang was very clever, and tied two thin and wide slag-quenching slabs to his boots, as wide as a duck's flippers, so he could walk freely on the gray surface.

It is also good to have a lot of loose ashes, so you can easily find the location of the charcoal.

Knock and poke with a hoe and sickle, and when you encounter a hard place, push down hard. If you hear a crackling sound, it is probably good quality charcoal; A well-preserved broken log with plant ash can be used, so quickly dig a hole to mark it, and then notify the little Xuanwu to pull it.

It takes a lot of effort to pull charcoal and logs from the ashes. Walking on the soft ashes is impossible. Sometimes it may not be possible to pull out a section all day.

In the end, he had to rely on the six-winged god who stayed in the clan to fly into the air and use brute force several times stronger than Xuanwu to forcefully pull it out.

After working so hard for a long time, the Xuanwu Clan and the Six-Winged God finally saved up enough fuel, and the night was no longer so difficult.

With the new house built, in addition to the risk of freezing to death, food is also a problem.

In the past, the Xuanwu tribe had plenty of food, and they used the extra food to feed the six-winged gods, and the two tribes could still live in peace.

Now everyone is a grasshopper hanging on the line of starvation, and many Xuanwu can't help becoming wary again, for fear that one day the six-winged god will be very hungry and will regret eating Xuanwu.

After all, everyone lived very close to each other, and it was too easy for the Seraphim to launch a surprise attack.

For this reason, Shun Cang specially went to talk to Azazel once.

Azazel said seriously, "Patriarch, I can suppress them for a period of time, but it's not a long-term solution. While there is still food left in the mine, it's a serious matter to find prey as soon as possible."

Shun Cang thought about it, and then figured out the truth.

The reason why these six-winged gods turned to the Xuanwu tribe was because they had a stable source of food. Food was the guarantee of the contract, and the devil was after all profit-seeking.

Azazel was right. If the current peace is to be maintained, the food problem must be solved immediately.

Shun Cang called all the four elders of the clan over, and said slowly, "There is not much food in the clan now, we have to think about how to get food."

Some elders said, "Go ask the ancestor gods, the ancestor gods must have a way."

"The ancestor gods are too tired these days. We can't rely on the ancestor gods for everything. We also have to work hard to survive." Shuncang said, "If the ancestor gods want to leave the tribe one day, we can't do anything, and it's over."

Wusui was also thinking about this matter, and after serious thinking, he said to everyone, "The ancestor god found a food called 'barnacle' at the seaside last time, and it can be picked back, and the ancient mountain will fall slightly before the first snow. Take everyone to the ruined temple, get some flower vines and come back to make dumplings."

Jingzhe disagreed, "The ancient mountain will come down, but it's still too high and too dangerous. Let's think about other things. I remember the ancestor god once said that when the seaside ebbs, fish schools will wash up on the shore. Now it's the end of the season. Look for it every day, maybe you can catch fish.”

"There is also the Deer God Forest in the east. The forest used to be a valley, and there are pheasants and rabbits to catch."

"It's okay to go further to the west. After the fire burned the plains, all the prey went to the western rift valley. If we work harder to set traps, we can always catch them."

In this way, despite the fire, the Xuanwu clan still has great hope of recovering their vitality. Shuncang nodded, thinking that everyone's suggestions are very good.

The only fly in the ointment is that the Xuanwu tribe only has more than 100 Xuanwu, except for Xiaoyao and Xuanwu who stay in the village, there are only more than [-] left, so many things cannot be done at the same time.

But the Xuanwu people have worked hard to survive for so many years, and they have also exercised a lot of energy. In many cases, as long as they are full, they can work all day without feeling tired. They wish they could be busy for twelve hours.

Shuncang gritted his teeth, and still assigned these tasks, so that Xuanwu, who was able to work, was divided into several teams to take turns picking and hunting.

Fortunately, maybe it was God's favor, the Xuanwus were lucky when they went out on the first day, a few big fish about six feet were washed up on the bank, and brought back to the family, it happened to be enough for a day's ration.

This is not over yet, in the valley to the east, a little Xuanwu found some blue sheep, and threw stones at them, just breaking the legs of the sheep, and got a few more prey.

Two days later, good news came from the west, saying that the trap set up the day before yesterday had caught a Kui ox.

Yue Liang worked in the dark for a long time looking for charcoal, but when he looked back, he realized that the clan had something to eat again at some point.

Two little Xuanwu brought him mutton, and he grabbed the junior just in time and asked, "Where did you get so many prey?"

"I caught it, everyone worked very hard, but for the winter, the hard work is worth it." The little mysterious beast smiled, with sharp canine teeth, "God Ancestor, we are working very hard."

Yue Liang felt sorry for the junior, so he accepted the mutton, and said that he would go out with Xuan Wu who was hunting tomorrow and try to get more food.

He took the meat, closed the door, turned back to the house, and hung it by the stove.

Let anyone who knew them in the previous life come and take a look, no one would believe that this room is where the two emperors live now.

Because the building material is quenched slag, every surface of the house is dark, and the colder it is, the more it feels unsightly. I took gray fine soil and made it into dye, and painted all the walls to make it look less gloomy.

There is almost nothing in the house, there is a moderately sized firepit, burning charcoal inside, which is the only light source in the house, a half-moon-shaped long channel is pinched on the wall, and the mouth is aimed at the firepit, which is used to diffuse the smoke. Hold a stone slab and use it when you need to bake something.

On the first floor there are a few crude stone benches, tools leaning against the wall, and some feathers, colorful shells, and animal horns fixed with stone nails on the wall. , has no other use.

The second floor is more detailed, after all, it is a place to sleep, and comfort is the best.There is a not-wide slate bed, which Yue Liang unloaded the sarcophagus they used to lie on, and unfolded the four walls to piece it together.

The stone slabs are some rare things. The softest carpet sponge is used as the bottom, and Zhangjiao leather is spread on the top. The mattress is soft, and a thin piece of leather is taken and beaten several times until it is as soft as cotton fabric. It is used to fill bedding.

These were all obtained by Yueliang from Dongqin. When he lived in Dongqin's cave, he used these things to make his bed. The amazing thing is that he still has a lot of handmade things like these.

It is not difficult to see from this that Dong Qin should be a very particular person who knew life before the world was destroyed.

Yue Liang was overwhelmed with admiration, and then he wanted to take away Dong Qin's extra mattresses and quilts, on the condition that he would help him watch out for hiding, and let him know in advance when he was about to enter the sea, so that he could hide first.

These two people only cared about playing hide-and-seek, but Yue Liang, the middleman, took advantage.

There is also a smaller firepit on the second floor, and there is a small bucket beside it. When the night gets colder, a few pieces of unburned charcoal will be brought up from downstairs and put into the firepit, so that the second floor will also be warm.

In fact, he didn't feel cold at all at night. First of all, his body was recovering, and his spiritual power was slowly coming back. He could handle the cold, and besides, he still had a soft leather quilt.

The most important thing is that you won't feel cold at night when you sleep with Dijun in your arms. Dijun is a practitioner of fire. The whole martial beast is as hot as a ball of fire. It changes back into a dragon shape and has a long mane. His face was itchy, but it was really warm.

Tai Yang has a habit, when he is going to sleep at night, he will turn into a little black dragon and stay by the firepit for a while, after warming up, he will go upstairs and get under the quilt to lie down quietly, filling the whole quilt with undissipated heat.

Yue Liang didn't know that this kind of behavior was called warming the bed in the human race, but he was very touched, and he got under the bed more diligently every night.

It was the same tonight, when he returned to the house with the mutton and hung it by the firepit, Tai Yang was lying beside him like a quiet cat.

Seeing him coming in, he raised his head slightly, "Ah Liang, where do you get this meat?"

"The little guys brought it here, they really have a heart."

Yue Liang let out a long breath, and sat down next to him, no one spoke for a while, they all quietly watched the dancing flames in the fire pit.

After a while, Yue Liang stared at the firelight and asked, "Ah Lang, what should we do if we are not ready for the winter?"

Tai Yang didn't hide anything, and said succinctly, "There will be freezing to death, starvation to death, it's unavoidable."

"I know, but I seem to be...a little bit unacceptable."

Yue Liang withdrew his mind, leaned on Tai Yang with some dependence, sighed, feeling a little tired, "I can't let go no matter what, these are very good juniors, I don't worry about it."

Tai Yang leaned over and kissed him vaguely on the side of his face, "Then don't let go, do what you want to do most, and try your best."

Yue Liang asked worriedly, "Do you think we can survive this winter?"

"We have lived through many winters." Tai Yang didn't find it difficult, he lowered his head affectionately, and arched it into the hollow of his neck.
