In the middle of winter, the Ancient Demon Forbidden is not too depressed. The greenery is still abundant, the evergreen broad-leaved leaves are getting darker in color, and the thick vines are also vibrant. These tenacious lives did not become depressed by the slaughter of midwinter, but showed their tenacious vitality.

The golden leaves are very thick under your feet, like a very soft carpet, and the dead branches that break from time to time make a crisp sound.

Unconsciously, Ling Chen and his party had already gone through more than half a year's journey. The originally planned three-month journey was now half a year late.

Even Ling Chen was already furious and wanted to ask the boy. And the boy's answer was equally concise: "You are walking too slowly." ”

After the golden autumn season, into the middle of winter. Everything came unexpectedly, but everyone was able to adapt step by step. The hardships and hardships along the way, everyone came all the way with their heads up and smiling faces.

No one asked Ling Chen why he had been gone for so long. Because they could also guess, Ling Chen himself might not know. Superfluous questioning will only increase the disharmony between the teams.

In autumn, the fruits are abundant and the animals are fat. They took advantage of this good season to harvest a lot of food resources. Preparing for the winter of small animals, the whole body is stored with overwintering fat, the most fat and delicious.

And in the Eternal Demon Forbidden, the winter is actually not too cold. No snowfall, no freezing. But the habits of the animals do not change, and those that need to hibernate will hide in cozy and warm holes throughout the winter.

Everyone has felt the obvious drop in temperature. They basically only brought summer clothes, because Dongsheng Academy is like spring all year round, and they don't need padded jackets and coats at all.

So nowadays they are dressed in a coat sewn from hunted hare fur, which seems rough and wild, but it is very warm.

Their skin is also a long-term exposure to the wild, and they are friends with campfire game, and their skin looks a little smoky and quaint yellow. But at least, they still retain the air of the civilized world, and they are by no means barbarians.

The horizon has become much wider, and the danger has also increased. Today's beasts of prey are unusually hungry predators, and their enemies are dark and clear. Many times, they have to be more careful about their surroundings. Halfway through the raid, this kind of thing has long been common.

Life is difficult and difficult, and every day I think about food carefully, and try to satisfy my hunger with edible plants as much as possible. Now in their minds, when faced with a plant that they have never seen before, the subconscious reflex is to be able to eat.

At their age, they should have sat in a comfortable classroom and listened carefully to their instructors. Concentrate on studying, indulging in cultivation, and lay a good foundation for a smooth road in the future.

But now they are hungry and poorly clothed, and they have no new clothes. The shoes are also tattered, and they are patched in many places. It is a wear-resistant sole, which has already worn out. It was still Ning Yuanru's whim, using a fiber from a vine to mash it, and then using needlework to collect the soles of the shoes, and then wrapping them with rags. Solid and durable, and the results are really good.

Little by little, they learn the most basic and practical skills. And these skills are generally the work of subordinates. As children, they may know, but not necessarily will.

This is the place where people can be honed the most, and survival is not life. Life is the pursuit of ideals and reality, and living in a better quality way. Survival is all about doing your best in the current environment and using everything you can use around you

, difficult to live.

There are still many people in the world who live a life that is not as good as Ling Chen and others. They are the same age as Ling Chen, and even much younger. In the prison of the city, it is difficult to survive.

Ling Chen and others can hunt, eat, and live with the gifts of nature. Albeit very hard, far from civilization. But at least, they're still alive.

And some people, in the bustling city, are forever curled up in the darkest corners. Drainage ditches, livestock sheds, thatched houses... They can be found everywhere. They don't care, they don't know how to hunt, they don't even have everything in the civilized world. They pick up garbage for a living and beg along the streets. Even if they have sound hands and feet, they can't find it, and they don't want to find a way to dig for food.

Some people are already doing their best just to be alive.

Perhaps they are no longer worth living in the world. However, the Peace League also stipulates that murder is criminal. No one has the right to take the life of another person for no reason, and this is the equality of all men preached by the Immortal Sanctuary. This is contrary to the rules of this world where power reigns supreme, but because it is the truth preached by the Sanctuary, it exists in the world. Anything that goes against its truth is a crime.

It is precisely because of this law that protects them, and some people are fearless. Turn your weaknesses into strengths, gain sympathy, and test wildly within the boundaries of the law. The Peace Alliance is not without a bottom line, but this group of people is already brazen, even more so than outlaws.

Helplessly, in the gray area of this law, this group of poor people was born. Poor people will have something to hate.

They are just living in this seemingly peaceful world, and they don't care if there will be big changes in the future and what the fate of everything will be. They will only care about what to eat at the next meal.

On a cold night, a group of people sat around each other, keeping warm with each other. The north wind is howling, and the bitter cold wind has never stopped. They didn't dare to make a fire to keep warm, the light of the fire at night was too bright, but it would attract the nearby beasts for a moment.

"I made you a little thing. Ning Yuanru took advantage of the faint light of the starry sky at night to put away the last stitch.

"Oh?"

Everyone was very curious, the things that Ning Yuanru gave them every time were very practical, making people feel comfortable and comfortable. I don't know what kind of good things she will make this time.

Touched four pairs of identical things from the Qiankun bag, and Ning Yuanru handed them to everyone.

"This is the insole I use for bird hair to keep you warm in winter. ”

Winters are dry and rainfall is rare. Walking a lot of mountain roads is a great test for shoes and soles. Although they are used to it now, and their feet have worn out calluses. But there is such a good thing, and naturally it will not refuse.

The feeling of starting is very soft and comfortable, and the workmanship is solid, and every stitch and thread is very serious. Although it is only the hair of a sparrow, and the materials used are uneven, it is very popular with everyone. In fact, everyone likes everything Ning Yuanru does. Kettles, cups, bowls, clothes, and so on and so forth.

Usually sewing shoes, everyone's foot size is basically mastered, which is completely suitable. Ning Yuanru's intimacy is vividly demonstrated in these small details.

"We wear it all over our bodies, but it's all made by Sister Yuanru. Xu Ziqing said jokingly.

"Oh my God! Look! Look, what do you mean by being beautiful! Wang Qingyu, come here and study hard and look good.

Wang Qingyun waved the insoles in his hands, admiring the workmanship and intentions, and at the same time ridiculing Wang Qingyu.

"You go to die!" Wang Qingyu threw a dead branch with his backhand, a little annoyed and angry.

"You have to admit that you're not good enough. Learning with an open mind is the only way out. Right?" Wang Qingyun began to say in the tone of an elder, Wang Qingyu.

"In case in the future, your mother-in-law says that your child will not be a woman, and you will not be dexterous, so you will come to the door. Our dad can't afford to lose that face, can he?"

"Hey, hey, hey!! Ahh ”

Most of the time, everyone has long been surprised by Wang Qingyun's death. even thinks that these two siblings don't have a quarrel, life is not normal, and life has become boring.

Ling Chen breathed in the air with a biting cold, and there was some stinging pain in his nose, but his heart was light.

They have walked through the middle of summer, through the golden autumn, and experienced countless seasons and feelings. In every moment, there is a special feeling, a taste that belongs to memories. They share weal and woe, support each other, and move forward step by step.

At first, they were still full of fear of this unknown world, and panic and uneasiness were spreading. Ling Chen, as a half-tank of water, stepped forward and led everyone to walk out of here.

At that time, they were still full of hope, and they were looking forward to getting out of this forest every day. Then there was a slow disappointment, full of disappointment. After thousands of scenes, they experienced the true affection and care between their peers. They trust each other, and a look, a word, can express all the care.

In fact, there are many things that do not need to be said, even if they are lies, and if you think about it in reverse, you can understand the reason. It's not that they haven't been anxious, and the three months they said were good, but now more than half a year has passed.

Sometimes, they could also see Ling Chen alone in the corner and pondering. The lonely back is distressing. He had endured enough stress and pain, and as a companion, he needed to share it, not question him.

When everyone is completely accustomed to today's life, they find that everything is not as bad as they imagined. Cook your own meals, hunt, set up camps, mend clothes, create new things... Everything starts from scratch.

Share the novelty and joy of it with everyone, and you will reap more satisfaction. They cried, laughed, and despaired. But in the company of companions, everything already seems insignificant.

Every familiar and warm smiling face will be an indelible memory in this life.

They no longer look forward to the future.

Instead of pinning your hopes on tomorrow, why not focus on the present. Look at the road under your feet, and then walk steadily into the distance. As for what is in the distance, it doesn't matter, what matters is in front of you.

Just like now.

Wang Qingyu angrily chased after Wang Qingyun with a terrified face and was dodging around; Xu Ziqing had a smile on his face, and his eyes would drift to Wang Qingyu's body from time to time to secretly look; Ling had long been accustomed to fighting with these two siblings, looking up at the dim night sky, as if looking for those stars that were still shining; Ning Yuanru was still doing his own thing.

Sensing that a gaze was watching her, Ning Yuanru slowly raised her head, just opposite Ling Chen's gaze. The two looked at each other and smiled, and each looked away.
