Chapter 38:

The snow season has entered its second month, and according to Lixia's words, the temperature outside the house is no less than ten times colder than the coldest three or nine days.Except for the necessary patrol personnel and sporadic orcs running past, no one in the tribe walked outside.

A hasty and dull beast roar broke the tranquility of the night.Ernst suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, focusing on his ears to find out what was going on outside.Li Xia in his arms seemed to be awakened by the roar, and mumbled in a daze to ask what was going on.Ernst patted him on the back and softly reassured him that he was fine, until Li Xia fell asleep again before getting out of bed softly.

Walking to the next room, Yadi was sleeping soundly in the sleeping bag that Li Xia specially sewed for him, the whole body was huddled together and only his little nose was exposed to breathe the fresh air outside.Ernst carried Yadi back to the room with his quilt and stuffed them into Li Xia's arms, and then he tucked them up for them and hurried out the door.

Outside the house, the orcs ran out of their houses and rushed to the gate of the tribe. Everyone's expression was solemn.From a distance, you can hear the patrolling personnel at the gate of the tribe and the howling of wolves asking and answering questions outside.They are both orcs, so they can naturally understand the meaning of these calls.Bears, Angry, Eager, Sad.

The blazing torches illuminated the gate of the tribe, and chief Walter went up to the fence early to observe the situation outside.When he gave an order, the gate of the tribe slowly opened to both sides.

People outside the fence saw the gate open and swarmed inside.It was only at this time that people could see the situation of the person coming by the light of the fire.It is true that the Bear tribe is good, but their situation is a bit miserable.Not to mention the blood all over their bodies, few of them were even wearing thicker clothes. It was obvious that they were attacked in their sleep.After being frightened and running around for a long time, the female and the child collapsed on the ground without image as soon as they entered the gate, breathing backwards with their mouths wide open to appease the powerfully stimulated cardiopulmonary function.The male was better, but he couldn't stop panting heavily, and his breath was puffing through the trachea like a broken bellows.Among such a group of nearly a hundred people, it is a miracle that there is not a single elderly person.After entering the tribe, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, as if the elevator suddenly dropped from the [-]th floor to the bottom with weightlessness, making people's erratic hands and feet weak.Xu Shi felt that he had reached a safe place, and some females and children of the bear clan began to cry.

All the orcs of the wolf clan frowned, and the bear clan probably encountered a large-scale beast attack like this.In the snow season, the orcs can't hunt prey and can only eat the stock from the concentrated hunting in the dry season. But wild animals are different, they don't have the habit of storing them, and they will naturally be hungry in the snow season.At this time, the easy prey had long since disappeared, and the orcs who lived in groups on a fixed site naturally became a big meal in their eyes.

Now it's the Bear tribe, and maybe other tribes, big and small, around.If it weren't for the fact that the wolf tribe built a tall and strong wall early under the command of Li Xia, perhaps they were the ones who were attacked earlier.Thinking of this, the wolf clan orcs shuddered, and they were extremely grateful for the wise decision earlier in their hearts.

Holding a torch, Walter quickly stepped down the wall, and squeezed out a person from the miserable crowd. It was Sailor who had visited before.I saw that his face was covered with blood, but he was wearing thick clothes, but the clothes were also torn by the beasts during the battle into cloth strips with a sense of post-modern art.Not only was there a wound on his chest, but even a long strip was scratched out on his back. His skin was turned white and necrotic in such cold weather.

"Patriarch Walter...".Sailor's tone was almost choked up when he came up, but as the backbone of these escaped people, he still held back the tears that were about to flow from his eyes. "Our tribe encountered a beast attack. I escaped with these people. I hope you can take us in. Of course, I also know that it is difficult to obtain food during the snow season. If it is not possible, please take the female and the child. They I can do anything, as long as I give a little food..." Sailor was almost incoherent when he said this, he should put his own life aside, males are fine, just hope that females and children can be good, only then, Only the Bear tribe could survive.

Sailor really had no choice, but if there was any way, he would not hand over the females and children of his tribe to others. These people were bought by his father and the elders in the tribe with their lives.Tonight's night came too suddenly. They didn't have the walls of the wolf tribe, and they met the god of death almost overnight. The population of the bear tribe was comparable to that of the wolf tribe, although they were caught off guard. A little bit, but there is still a chance of recovery.But maybe the bear tribe suffered, and the number of wild beasts was almost several times that of them.Although the orcs fought bravely, they still had females and children who could not protect themselves.

Seeing that he was invincible, his father Joey led the elder orcs in the tribe to fight back wildly regardless of their own safety, in order to let him evacuate quickly with the hope of the tribe.Anyway, they are old and can't bring much benefit to the tribe. It's better to take advantage of this time to give their children more chances to survive.At that time, he wanted to rush up but was stopped by his father's roar. "Sai Le! Come on, take the hope of the Bear Tribe, and leave quickly!"

Sailor still remembered the scene where his father and those old orcs were covered in blood. His father was attacked by several wild beasts from different angles, blood spurted from the bitten wound, and the splashing liquid that could not be seen clearly in the dark At that moment, it was so clear and bright red, as red as the bonfire in the setting sun on the horizon, so dazzling.But just like that, his father was still waving his thick palms and slapping the besieging beasts one by one.At that moment, his figure was like a big tree growing in the tribe, extremely firm.

Walter looked at the boy, about the same age as his son, who begged in the humblest of voices before him to be admitted to his tribe.In the past, he might still have to think about it, but since Lixia taught them to pickle food and harvest ingredients, their tribe has gotten rid of the shadow of hunger this year and even has stocks, which is more than enough to feed these people.Moreover, many orcs will be lost every year in the beast attack, and even the clan will be exterminated. In the long run, the wolf tribe will also be the ultimate goal of those beasts. At this time, it is still necessary to thank allies for defending this vast land where they live together.

"Sailor, count your numbers and group them into families, and I will arrange accommodation for you. Since you are in the wolf tribe, you can stay here with peace of mind. The most important thing is to recover from your injuries." Walter supported the crumbling Sailer Let Wagger take care of him, and then called Buck to find the doctor Molinda, and then asked the clansmen to arrange housing.Except for some elderly orc families, most of them have spare rooms, and each family can still live in a few.

Ernst searched the crowd with a torch, and he saw the Hockley family in the crowd.Thankfully they don't appear to have suffered any serious injuries.Hockley stood upright, his bare skin was a little purple from the cold, and the bloody cut on his arm stopped the flow of blood because of the cold.His partner was patted in his arms, wearing a skinny animal skin coat full of holes and blood, which should belong to Hockley in terms of size.It's just that his partner's bulging belly is obviously pregnant, which makes Ernst slightly startled.The little Bolton hugged Hockley's leg between the two of them, as if he hadn't fully recovered from the fright he had received before, and he couldn't help sobbing, because the snot from the cold weather flowed back into the trachea from time to time during the sobbing. vigorous coughing.

Ernst hurried forward, and Hockley in the crowd seemed to sense it and looked in his direction.After seeing that it was Ernst, this strong bear orc couldn't help showing a sad expression.Ernst bent down and hugged Bolton, but Bolton didn't care about it. When he saw Ernst, he burst into tears, hugged his neck and didn't let go, and almost died from crying.

Leading several people back home, Li Xia was walking outside wearing his clothes when he heard the noise.His eyes widened when he saw the person coming.After learning the reason, Li Xia looked at the Hockley family's thin clothes and blue skin from the cold, and Li Xia stepped forward to ask if he was unconscious. After getting an affirmative answer, he rushed out of the yard and came back with a basin of snow.

Looking at Hockley's partner Feianda who had given her cotton cloth when they met for the first time, Lixia held the snow and wiped the snow on his exposed skin.In normal times, it would be very unusual for Li Xia to see a pregnant man, but now that the situation is urgent, he can't pay that much attention.

When Hockley saw Li Xia's move, he raised his hand to stop it. It was already so cold that he had to smear snow on his body, which was too messy.Lixia didn't notice him, and yelled at Ernst while rubbing it on Feanda's arm, "Ernst, hurry up and wipe the snow for Bolton, and Hockley, it's so cold outside, and you've been freezing for so long , If you directly warm up to the fire, your muscles will be necrotic! You must rub it with snow until your skin becomes hot before you can warm up!" After using half a basin of snow, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head and shouted Ernst, "Ens Special, you go to the patriarch quickly, let the bear clan orcs who come here do the same, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

When Ernst heard what Li Xia said, he ran out directly, and Hockley lowered the hand he wanted to stop before, and stepped up his efforts to smear on his body.After watching Li Xia's movements for a long time, Fei Anda knew how to do it, so she also took the snow and wiped it.Seeing that he was ready to smear, Li Xia went to the side to help Bolton continue to smear, and it took a while for Bolton's small body to warm up.

The stoves in the living room and the kitchen were both on. Originally, only the living room was needed to keep the three bedrooms of Ernst’s family warm. But Li Xia didn’t like the room getting cold when he left the room, so he also lit the stove in the kitchen, so the guest room was also warm. warm.It would just be cheap for the Hockleys to move in.
