through the ancient times

When the snow stopped in the afternoon, Adi took the lead in sweeping the snow in the yard. Yang Jun and Ali Asa went to the yard to make a snowman in the middle of the sweep, and then played snowball fights.A Di was tricked by Yang Jun and threw him down in the snow. A Li and Asa got up and pressed on top of him childlike. The four of them stacked up and Doudou jumped to the top of Asa's back in three steps and two steps.

Adi at the lowest level looked at Doudou speechlessly: "..."

Doudou licked her tongue, opened her mouth feeling bored, and slid off the four of them.

Asa who was stepped on by Doudou couldn't laugh or cry.Yang Jun smiled and touched Doudou: "Want to turn over and become the master? I don't agree to your master. As a punishment, today's meat will be halved!"

Ali Asa knew that it was just a joke to talk about halving at this time.Every time it is said to reduce, but which time has it been reduced?Even if the pheasants frightened by Doudou squatting next to the hen pen did not lay eggs, and the rabbits were often chased around so angry that he gritted his teeth and threatened to cut off its meat, but what happened in the end?Not only did it not stop, but also added meals.As far as Yang Jun told Doudou, he was so distracted!

After the heavy snow stopped for several days, Yang Jun began to teach the two little ones how to use the sled.The skis and snowball fights were all done earlier, and Adi, who is so familiar with the game, looked at Yang Jun and felt relieved to let the two bear children go tossing around.

Hearing the noise in the yard, Yang Jun looked out from the kitchen: "You're back? Why did you come back so early today?" In the past, he didn't come back until he finished cooking, but today he just started cooking without even burning the fire.

"It's going to snow."

"It's going to snow again? This is really poisonous." Yang Jun curled his lips and read a few words.

Ah Li and Asa went to change their clothes and hats, and Adi took off the cloak that was stained with wind and snow, and in the room, the stone stove brought charcoal to blow on the dry pine hair and dead branches. Gradually add firewood.

Halfway through the meal, there were snow particles outside the house, and by the time the meal was finished, there were already heavy snowflakes.In order to save charcoal fire, lunch was eaten in Yang Jun's room.Eel, fried rabbit meat, stewed venison, steamed bacon, black fungus and mushroom soup instead of vegetables, and a bowl of steamed sweet potatoes. Adi divided the three of them. Half of the pottery rice was enough for Yang Jun, and there was a little left for A Li Asa ate.

"When the snow stops, we can smash the ice. We can smash more to avoid not enough in summer, and we can also eat fish." Fish raised in streams and springs are no better than fishes raised in lake water. They have no muddy smell and taste delicious. Sweet, tender meat, fried, deep-fried, boiled, steamed, how to make it delicious.Yang Jun gulped down his saliva, wishing he could smash the ice and fish for fish right now.

Adi smiled and touched Yang Jun.

As soon as the heavy snow stopped the next day, Adi did not rush to clear the snow all over the yard. Instead, he took A Li to break open the ice with the method Yang Jun had taught him, and fished out some fresh fish.

Yang Jun's brows and eyes were frowned with a smile, and he made the fish hot pot that he had been thinking about for noon. After eating, his belly was round and didn't move, so he lay on his side and hummed.

A Di cleaned up the dishes, A Li wiped the table and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash, and Asa brought the teapot to make tea.After Ah Li finished washing the dishes, Yang Jun had already let Adi rub his stomach until he fell asleep.

"Play chess?" Asked Asa, who had nothing to do.

Ah Li nodded.

Black and white pebbles are used as chess pieces to play backgammon. One is calm and confident;

Yang Jun looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that the two brats would get angry, so he buried his face in Adi's neck and laughed secretly.

Adi patted Yang Jun on the back and hugged him tightly for fear that he would fall.With a dazed look on his face, he didn't know what he was laughing at.

The white snow outside the house has not yet melted and new snow is added, and the cycle goes on and on, almost forgetting the feeling of spring.Yang Jun counted the days with pebbles, and soon it was New Year's Eve.

Adi passed once last year. He got up early in the morning and consciously killed chickens, rabbits, eels, and shells. A Li and Asa had been nagging for a few days, and he consciously helped with cleaning.Prepare all the ingredients in the morning, eat some casually at noon, and then boil water for the family of four and one wolf to clean up. As the sky darkens, extra-large candles are lit in the room, and fresh delicacies are served on the table one after another.

Ah Li Asa has never celebrated the Chinese New Year. Although I knew that there would be a lot of dishes to eat at the time of helping, I felt the shock when all the dishes were actually served on the table.In their concept, when the freezing period comes, no matter whether it is a person or an animal, they must save on food. It is a blessing to not be hungry for a long time and not starve to death. Have you ever had the extravagant hope that the table is full of food?

Yang Jun washed his hands, smiled and looked at the two dumbfounded children. "What are you still doing? Come and sit down."

Yang Jun has been inculcating the concept of Chinese New Year for a few days, and it is no longer repeated on the dinner table.He only told the two of them to eat and eat well, to lead them to say some auspicious words, and to talk about the beautiful and interesting things about the Chinese New Year. Although even Adi still had a half-knowledge and couldn't understand it, Yang Jun believed that one day, this beautiful festival would be remembered by the ancients. People accept it sincerely, and then pass it down from generation to generation and finally turn it into the biggest festival of the year.There are no firecrackers, no fireworks, no joyful Spring Festival Gala, but he has the people he likes, Doudou, who is mighty and wolf-like, and the newcomer Ali Asa, his life will only get better and better.

Spring went to autumn, and four years passed in the blink of an eye. Ah Li and Asa had grown into a strong young man. He went to the jungle to hunt and fish in deep water.Yang Jun has nothing to do when he has nothing to do, so he likes to hang around in a hammock under the shade of a tree to accompany sleepy bugs.

"Yang,"

Yang Jun opened his eyes in a daze, not wanting to speak, and lazily changed his position on the hammock.Under the sunlight, Adi's firm body and bright eyes are still handsome.

Adi didn't force himself, and kneaded Yang Jun's waist with appropriate force.

After being made comfortable, Yang Jun didn't want to move any more, he squirmed his body while yawning and asked Adi to knead in another place.

"The tribal chief is here."

Yang Jun was startled: "What is he doing here?"

"I want me to take over the position of the patriarch." Adi was originally one of the best candidates for the position of the patriarch. If there was no accident like Yang Jun, I believe that Adi would take over the position of the patriarch the next year.Seeing Yang Jun in a daze, he said, "I refused. It's fine now."

After several years of learning, Adi's Chinese has become very fluent, even the occasional dissonance has disappeared.

"Adi," Yang Jun really couldn't say anything against letting Adi take over as the patriarch. Now life is beautiful, easy and happy, and he likes it very much.

He grasped Yang Jun's hand in understanding, and said hesitantly, "...Asahui."

Immediately understanding the meaning of the words, Yang Jun couldn't help standing up in amazement: "Asa is only 11 years old!"

"You can be independent." Tribal children are already precocious, and they will be able to find a spouse in two years. "When I was this age, I already lived alone."

The life of modern children cannot be applied to tribal children. Yang Jun had to accept this fact after watching on the sidelines for so many years. "What about Ali?"

"Same."

Yang Jun scratched his hair. Over the years, he was used to the two brats making trouble for him from time to time, and he would not be used to it without them. "when are we leaving?"

"tomorrow."

"So fast? Can't it be later?"

"...can't." The sooner you go, the sooner you get used to it, Horde warriors are never afraid of a challenge.

Ali Asa's departure is an established fact, and Yang Jun has no power to change nor his position.In the evening, I set up a table of dishes like Chinese New Year. Seeing the silence of the two burly boys, Yang Junqiang smiled and said: "Don't make it look like you are parting from life and death. You just go back to the tribe. It will only take you a few days to come back and follow your pace." Pack two bowls of white rice and press it down: "Here, I have to get up early tomorrow and go out to eat more, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage enough rice like at home when I get to the tribe." The rice they have cultivated in the past few years is enough for a family of four. There is still a lot to eat. Although the tribe has learned it, the rice still needs to be distributed equally, so they must eat fast. "Go back tomorrow and bring some seeds for the rest of the food. You all know how to plant them."

Ah Li Asa took the bowl and thanked each other.

Thanking you is just a formality, but Yang Jun was very pleased to hear it.Thinking back when the two bears first arrived, they were not very proficient in using chopsticks, not to mention washing their hands before meals, and even brushing their teeth. It's not as comfortable as looking clean now. "I won't say much about how much you have learned in the past few years. I just hope that you can use what you have learned to lead your tribe to prosperity. I also hope that you will abide by your original oath and not launch an aggressive war."

A Li and Asa nodded and listened in silence, Yang Jun stopped talking too much, he greeted the two of them to eat well, told them to pack up and salute before going to bed.The next morning, I pretended to sleep in and didn't go out to send it off.

Adi got up early to send the two of them off.Finally staring at the two of them: "You guys are the leaders when you go back, I don't care what to do, A Yang's bottom line is war, don't make him angry and don't let him down." back.He didn't know that after he turned around, he raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, exchanged eyes that only understood each other, and then parted ways without hesitation.
