After Yu Shiba left, the life on the island seemed to have suddenly quieted down. Song Wen had already woven two pieces of cloth with the fibers from the sugarcane-like plant. I don’t know if these fibers had been absorbed before. The reason for the cane juice, even after washing it several times, it still smells a faint sweet fragrance.

The water-absorbing effect of the cloth is not bad, but it is not as soft as cotton cloth after all. I don’t know if I can find cotton trees after I go to the Southland. Even if I find a few long-haired sheep, Song Wen will be happy. He misses it very much now. Those soft and warm clothes.

After making two pieces of close-fitting clothing for himself and Yi, the two small pieces of fabric have been used up almost, and the leftovers are sewn together to make towels, which are more usable than rough animal skins.

"Song Song, will we see Shiba again?" Fatty raised his neck and asked Song Wen to wipe his face with a warm towel, asking softly.

"Of course, we can come back to Beihai when Fatty grows up, and then we can go to play with Shiba again."

Only then did Ah Fatty feel happy, obediently asked Song Wen to wipe his face and neck, and combed the feathers on his body by the way.

During this period of time, the fluff on Fatty's body has become more and more tough. If the temperature hadn't changed too much, he would probably be ready to enter the stage of moulting. The feel to the touch is not as soft as before, and his body is also much thicker. I don't know if it's because of the good feeding, but his round face matches his name very well.

The first thing Yi does in the morning is to check if there is any hair shedding on his body. He collects the fallen hairs and puts them in his small wooden box. Now there are half a box of golden feathers piled up in Yi’s small wooden box. It looks like dazzling gold, very dazzling.

Yi attached great importance to the feathers in this small wooden box, and would check it sooner or later, and no one except Song Wen was allowed to glance at it, as if he was afraid of losing it.

"Are you planning to give these feathers to your partner?" Ah Man was speechless as he watched the feathers carefully counted. At least their harpies did not have the habit of collecting feathers.

"Partner?" Yi was a little puzzled. After covering the box, he wiped it lightly with the animal skin a few times. After confirming that it was correct, he put the small wooden box away contentedly and stuffed it next to his pillow, so that he could touch it with his hand. to the location.

After placing the hind wings, he shook his head, "This is for Song Song, I want to build a nest for Song Song made of my feathers."

"What's the difference?" Looking at the usual stickiness of Song Wen and Yi, even if they are of different races, there is a possibility of becoming a partner. Ah Man looked at Ah Fatty. Isn't this child born to his sister and other races? Well, Ah Man has experienced a lot, so naturally he doesn't have any opinions on the combination of different races.

Seeing that Yi was still in a daze, Ah Man laughed a little. How could he have forgotten that Yi was just a cub that had just broken out of its shell? Song Wen and Yi felt too reliable to him. Sometimes Ah Man unknowingly forgets about their age.

Ah Man stretched out his wings and patted his arms, which had grown thicker and thicker. "In a few years, you will understand that some races like to collect their own feathers to build nests for their future partners."

"This is for Song Song." Yi repeated with dissatisfaction.

Aman: "..."

The sea water in the small pond outside the house has completely frozen over, and even the manure being retting on the opposite side of Guibei Mountain has condensed and cannot be stirred. The fruit trees are covered with thick snow, and the wild vegetables planted in the field are also buried under the snow. , The leaves are frozen hard, as if they will break when touched.

These wild vegetables haven't grown enough to keep their seeds, and I don't know if they can survive this winter. If not, Song Wen can only find other wild vegetables and come back to plant them.

The small island was completely stained white. Song Wen had to clear the snow off the roof of the cabin every morning and evening, otherwise he was very worried that the humble little house would be crushed and collapsed.

Ahen, who originally liked to stay outside, also returned to the house. The cold-resistant emperor penguins can only use the fire in the fire to keep warm without their companions to keep warm.

Ah Fatty likes to nest in Ah Man's arms. Once the huge harpies close their wings, the cold outside cannot blow in.

Song Wen is wearing a thick animal fur coat. He is weaving new cloth. He has collected a lot of seabird feathers before. After the new cloth is woven, he can try to stuff bird feathers into it to make a feather quilt or It's a feather coat. Now Song Wen can't stand the cold when he sleeps at night, and he wants to turn back into a beast shape. Yi will also use his wings to surround Song Wen in the beast shape like Ah Man, as always, like in the emperor. The penguins' breeding grounds kept each other warm.

The cub's cold resistance is not as good as their adult beasts, but it's a pity that Fatty has grown up a lot, so he can't hide in Ah Hen's pouch.

Song Wen took out the millet peppers that had been saved before, and made some spicy soup with wild ginger to warm everyone's stomachs.

"Are we going to the territory of the waterspout?" The wind outside the house has become much stronger in the past two days, mixed with snowflakes, blowing a severe blizzard, and even the visibility on the sea has decreased a lot, and occasionally you can still be in the water Seeing the ice floes drifting by, the speed of the small island slowed down a lot, and I was afraid that I would accidentally collide with an iceberg that appeared somewhere.

"It should be here soon." Although Ah Man had passed by the area where the waterspout was, he didn't know the specific situation of that sea area very well. In addition, it was spring at that time, but the temperature was completely different from the temperature near early winter now.

The two were talking, when the whole island suddenly shook, Yi frowned, pushed aside the heavy curtain and walked outside, the cold wind accompanied by snowflakes swept into the house along the gap, almost killing the burning fire Freezing, Song Wen couldn't help shivering, Ah Man protected the cub, and even Ah Hen carefully hid the bird egg that hadn't hatched in time in his pouch, it was warm At least the pouch won't let the eggs crack.

Wing came back soon, with a bad look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Song Wen asked worriedly.

"We entered an ice floe belt, and the island has woken up, and we may have to take a detour to avoid it."

Song Wen breathed a sigh of relief, as the temperature dropped recently, he was always a little worried, and the visibility in Shanghai was getting lower day by day, Song Wen was really afraid of encountering some accidents.

the other side.

After Yu Shiba and Song Wen's group separated, they did not drift aimlessly along the ocean current as usual. Song Wen prepared two huge wooden paddles for him. Although he had learned how to use them before, they were fresh and Still there, Yu Shiba fixed the wooden paddle to the tail of the ice floe, and paddled backwards like the way the front wing taught him.

The ice floe weighs a lot, and with the bamboo rafts covering it, even if Yu Shiba paddled hard, it would be difficult to speed up the ice floe as fast as a snake tortoise, but it is undeniable that this can make Yu Shiba very fast. Eight choose their own direction.

Yu Shiba, who was full of food and drink, was full of strength now, so he just shook the wooden paddle like this, getting farther and farther away from Shegui Island.

After dark, the pearl that Song Wen gave him began to emit a faint blue light. The weather was not very good tonight. It had snowed before, and when it fell dark, there was no light source around. Only the night pearl put him on the ice floe. The small thatched shed was illuminated, barely allowing Yu Shiba to distinguish the surrounding things.

After exercising all day, Yu Shiba is actually not very hungry, but when he was on Shegui Island, he ate three meals a day, so Yu Shiba couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

He turned over a small dried fish and it was a snack that Ah Pang had saved up for him. It was fried with millet pepper and it was fragrant with some herbs that Yushiba could not name. This kind of millet pepper It's not very spicy, and it feels warm in the stomach when you eat it. It's the most suitable thing to eat in this season.

The surrounding area was very quiet, only the sound of Yu Shiba's chewing was very obvious in the night.

There was a sound of water passing across the dark sea, Yu Shiba looked back and found nothing unusual.

He licked the corners of his lips that smelled spicy, and couldn't help but took another small dried fish out of the bamboo tube. The huge animal skin bag that Yi gave him was also full of food, if it wasn't for the ice floe, it couldn't carry it. Things that are too heavy, in fact, Song Wen wants to prepare all the food for Yu Shiba to spend the winter, at least sharing a few seabirds with the other party is not too difficult for their current food storage.

"Whoa."

There was another sound of water, and Yu Shiba turned his head to look out again. A few water patterns reflected the light from the night pearl, which proved that there should be some living things swimming there before.

Yu Shiba's eyes lit up, and he picked up the harpoon that had been kept by his side all the time. It was made of sharpened bamboo. It was a very simple tool, but it was very useful for spearing fish. Yu Shiba had seen it before. One fork over the wing is accurate, of course, the efficiency is not as high as that of using fishing nets directly.

The harpoon in Yu Shiba's hand is more for self-defense.

The ice floe shook a few times, and the harpoon in Yu Shiba's hand plunged into the pitch-black water, but before he felt that the fork had hit the prey, he felt imprisoned by a huge force, and his head fell from the pitch-black Floating up from the sea, under the long wet hair is a beautiful face that is indistinguishable between male and female, but from the slightly raised corner of the mouth, one can see a mouthful of sharp teeth. Fish residue.

"Genyu people?" The man tilted his head slightly, obviously he had never seen a human being dressed in animal skin like Yu Shiba.

"Mermaid?" Yu Shiba was so frightened that he couldn't hold the harpoon steadily in his hand. He fell to the ground and said hastily, "I... I didn't say I belong to the Mermaid tribe."

The man frowned slightly. He was close to the ice floe, surrounded by thick bamboo rafts, but this did not stop him from climbing up the ice floe.

The entire ice floe was weighed down by the opponent's weight, almost toppled over, Yu Shiba looked at the man's fish tail curiously, because the light was too dark, Yu Shiba couldn't distinguish the tail What color is it, but judging from the outline of the tail, it is indeed much more beautiful than his flippers.

Yu Shiba thought a little autistically.

"Did you bring red seaweed? Take it out."
