It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

When the cool snowflakes fell on Song Lai's face, Song Lai was at a loss for a while. The so-called winter came just like this. His hut hadn't been strengthened, and his food reserves were not enough. Struggling to think all day, many problems have not been figured out yet, winter is coming like this.

The patriarch and Oss called everyone to the square and told everyone to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave.

Looking at the busy people, Song Lai suddenly remembered what An Ye once said to himself, what did he mean by not being afraid of having a shack.These people dismantled all the shacks, and then used straw ropes to surround their bodies little by little. The whole person was like a haystack for activists.

Oss began to distribute food and salt. For this tribe, salt is just a small condiment to improve the taste of food, so everyone didn't care much and just put it in straw bags. This made Song Lai very speechless, dear Ah, you just leave it there and wait until the little salt in the place will melt the snow away.After talking to Oss, Oss suggested that everyone put it in pottery. Every family now has a small jar, which contains either lotus root powder and lotus root dregs, or dried meat. No one really puts salt. In their eyes, salt is not as valuable as pottery.

The wicker baskets helped a lot, especially this year, there were a lot of things, such as dried salted fish, dried meat, mushrooms, lotus root powder, and all kinds of food. Everyone carried one on their backs. All empty.The patriarch divided the people into two groups with more women and children, and one group with more obviously strong people. An Ye was finally assigned to the group of women who followed Song Lai.

The men walked in front, the women followed behind, and everyone walked forward like this.From waking up in the morning to discovering that it was snowing until now

It was only one day and noon after people left the camp, because everyone took it for granted, making Song Lai think it was a normal thing to leave like this, until the evening, everyone camped on the spot, and then ate together It was during dinner that Song Lai felt that this matter was unimaginably absurd.Just because it snowed, everyone dismantled the shack and moved collectively? "Where are we going?" "The gathering place." An Ye glanced at Song Lai strangely, "Didn't I tell you many times? When winter comes, we will go to the gathering place." "The so-called winter is the first Snow?" Song Lai asked with some breakdown, An Ye didn't even bother to talk to Song Lai anymore, isn't this obvious.

Song Lai's whole body is not well, and he has never seen a whole tribe pack up their belongings and go to an active volcano that may erupt at any time to spend the winter.Although everyone has accumulated some food, it is obviously not enough to eat, let alone not being able to hunt for three or four months.There is a problem even if you take it for a month.Song Lai was about to continue talking to An Ye about what he was worried about, but was hugged by An Ye in his arms. "Hey, be careful to crush the baby." Song Lai carefully hugged the baby between him and An Ye. Seeing that the baby did not wake up, he raised his head in relief and planned to continue the topic just now, but An Ye had already closed his eyes. , obviously refused to call again.

Hmph, ignore me now and one day you will regret it!Song Lai angrily turned to sleep.An Ye opened his closed eyes lightly, smiled slightly, and covered Song Lai's body with the animal skin.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone had a simple meal and continued on the road. The snow continued to fall one after another, and the sky was gray. Song Lai still felt a little cold in the double-layered animal skins, and couldn't help but think that they hadn't tanned well before. What will it look like when you go on the road with dry grass?

When I first started on the road, I could still see some green. Yes, it was green. In the past, there would be a colorful autumn before the winter in Song Lai. As a result, it changed from green to white here. I didn’t leave any preparations for Song Lai. .Slowly, the field of vision is full of white.

After looking at the white color for more than half a day, Song Lai suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes, due to snow blindness, Song Lai suddenly yelled, An Ye quickly appeared by Song Lai's side, and softly asked him what's wrong. "Quickly tell everyone to close their eyes, and take me to find Oss." An Ye looked at Song Lai with tears streaming down his face, and felt that the matter might be really serious, so he yelled loudly for everyone to close their eyes, and then took Song Lai with him. Lai went to find Oss.

Oss and the patriarch were talking about something together, Oss’s eyes occasionally shed tears, “Oss, everyone must close their eyes and stop looking at the white snow, otherwise many people will go blind " Hearing what Song Lai said, Oss' face was a bit ugly, "How can we go on our way if everyone closes their eyes? If we don't rush over, we may not even be qualified to enter the cave." The patriarch was very embarrassed He said, "Then lead the way in batches, or you will really be blind. There should be a lot of people's eyes hurting now." "Why didn't we have this kind of trouble before." "Maybe it's because you have taken vitamins. Eyesight has improved." Song Ling muttered softly.

Oss stretched out his hand to pull the patriarch, and then ordered softly, "Let the person whose eyes are hurting close his eyes first, and the others take him away. If anyone's eyes are hurting, he will immediately talk and change the person to walk with him." After the person delivering the order left, he asked Song Lai softly, "Is there any other solution besides closing your eyes?" Of course, wearing sunglasses is the easiest way. If you don't have sunglasses, you can smoke the glass black. You can put a black cloth over your eyes, but there is no black cloth, anyway Song Lai can't think of a way to work, so you have to close your eyes.

Today's journey is only half of what it was yesterday, and the patriarch is obviously very anxious. Song Lai thought about it and told the patriarch to separate out some people who have no eye pain, and then use straw ropes for those who have symptoms of snow blindness. Connect one by one, and then let asymptomatic people take them away, so that each person can take a lot, and then switch and close their eyes from time to time, so as to avoid blindness.

The patriarch had no other better way, so he did as Song Lai said, and the method turned out to be good, until the first time he met a beast, when Song Lai saw it for the first time, he thought it was a huge husky, gray and white Hair, green eyes and white teeth.Because of his love for dogs, Song Lai almost stepped forward to touch the other person's chin.Until An Ye's hand tightly grasped Song Lai's arm.

The crowd panicked because of the wild beasts, and people ran around in panic, but because the straw ropes connected everyone, a stampede occurred. Fortunately, the patriarch made a sound in time to avoid greater casualties. Only a few people suffered minor injuries. Trampled.The men quickly surrounded the city with their spears, and when the whole body of the gray wolf appeared, the patriarch was visibly relieved, "This is a lone wolf, everyone be careful to kill him to eat meat at night. "How does the patriarch know it's a lone wolf?" Song Lai felt a little sad when he heard that the patriarch said he wanted to kill this animal.Although this wolf is thin, its skeleton is still there. If it is carefully raised for a period of time, it will be incomparably beautiful.

"Too thin. The wolves in the wolf pack will not be so thin. Be careful, the very hungry wolf is very dangerous." "Understood, you can help." Song Lai likes all large dogs, After seeing this wolf in my heart, it was like a hand was scratching and scratching, and I always wanted to take a closer look.But An Ye watched too closely from his side, saying that the baby was still on his back, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The men let out threatening roars, and the wolf who had been waiting and watching immediately stood upright and pulled the corners of its mouth upwards, baring its teeth, and let out a whining growl.

Not long after the stalemate between the two sides, I saw a tall man from the tribe flying towards the lone wolf with a spear in his hand. It was not easy for the wolf to see the spear approaching, instead of retreating, it rushed towards a person. The spear in the patriarch's hand suddenly shot out, and flew towards the running wolf. The wolf twisted strangely in mid-air, and even avoided the spear of the patriarch. The person the lone wolf was facing, Because the wolf pounced on him, he took two steps back subconsciously, but the wolf that landed on the ground suddenly ran out of the encirclement.

Song Lai thought that the wolf would run away, but the wolf turned around and ran towards the women. Song Lai's palms began to sweat. These were not the shaman huskies he raised.This is a real wolf that can eat people.An Ye threw the spear in his hand at the wolf, but the wolf's body was too nimble, so he missed. The wolf kicked its hind legs and jumped forward. Song Lai felt that he could see the wolf. His throat was tight, Song Lai closed his eyes in fright, but subconsciously stretched out his legs and kicked.It felt like kicking a wall.Open your eyes and see what's going on.An Ye was lying on the snow, with the wolf under his body, and the bloodstains under the wolf's body were still steaming in the snow.

Damn, maybe An Ye was bitten by a wolf.Song Lai went forward to check quickly, and saw two teeth marks on An Ye's shoulder, bleeding slightly, but An Ye's hand was holding his own black dagger, and it was stuck in the heart of the wolf. parts.

It turned out that An Ye saw the wolf pounced on Song Lai, so he flew over to defend him, but Song Lai kicked him, and An Ye went to face the wolf, but he avoided the bite by mistake. After listening to An Ye's narration, Song Lai just felt that the wolf's death was a bit wronged.

The wolf was skinned, and the blood was buried on the spot. I ate fresh wolf meat for dinner. In fact, the wolf meat was really not as delicious as fish meat. The fiber was rough and slightly sour.

An Ye simply degreases the wolf skin at night and then tans it with plant ash. Song Lai is a little confused. This skin is winter skin, which is of better quality than all of them. Why don't they dry it in the shade and treat it properly? After sloppy handling, An Ye told Song Lai that this leather was used as a qualification for entering the cave, and it can't be done too well, otherwise accidents may happen.

Song Lai really doesn't like that gathering place. It's better not to go to an active volcano, not only not to go, but also to leave far away, but he has never been through the winter here, so he really dare not go. Nonsense, just continue on the road with confusion.
