On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Xi received the first "red envelope" in the world - Huo Bai's handmade zuò white jade coin, which looked like a copper coin described by Gu Xi, round white jade, with a square hole in the middle, engraved with rough auspicious Ruyi four characters, this was what he wrote to Huo Bai on the wall yesterday, Huo Bai remembered the customs of the New Year very clearly, and made a red hair to buckle the thread, Gu Xi liked it very much, and pressed it under the pillow.

When Huo Bai came in, he brought in a cold wind, Gu Xi shrank in the quilt and shivered, it wasn't so cold when he ate last night, he felt a little cold.

"Why is it so cold?"

"There was another heavy snowfall last night, and there was a thick layer on the outside"

Huo Bai said, he put on a fur coat, and he didn't feel cold at all.

"Down again? Was it so early in previous years? Didn't you say that there were still seven or eight days before there was heavy snow? Still down? Gu Xi asked.

"Yes, it's still down, it's a few days earlier than before, it's a bit big." Huo Bai frowned, a little worried, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that there will be a snow disaster, there have been before, when the snow disaster occurred, it snowed continuously that day, and the orcs had no way to go out to hunt, and it was even more impossible for the sub-beasts to go out to dig green leafy vegetables, and many people would starve to death and freeze to death.

But this time, the Tiger Clan is worried, but the other tribes are difficult to say.

"If it's too big, I'm afraid that our shed won't be able to hold it, so let's go out to clear the snow for a while, and we have to leave a way out on the road, and when the snow accumulates more, it will be even more difficult to get it." Gu Xi didn't think about it so much, only thinking about what to pay attention to when the snow was big.

Huo Bai nodded, and saw Gu Xi huddled in the quilt with only his eyes exposed, it was really hard for him, such a system that is afraid of the cold, how can he survive this year.

In fact, if it weren't for Huo Bai's natural big heater that he could hold and sleep in at night, Gu Xi would have wanted to sleep in the kitchen at night. But the smell of the kitchen is not very good, and it is next to the clucking birds, and if you sleep somewhere at night, the smell is not good and it is not quiet.

"Okay, I'm up" Gu Xi once again plucked up the courage to crawl out of the quilt, the cold air hit, and suddenly the whole person was refreshed, Gu Xi quickly put on the clothes in the quilt, washed his face, and ate some breakfast first, the steaming fish ball and mushroom soup was light and delicious, and the two boiled eggs warm in the water were full of stomachs, and the people were a lot warmer.

Get to work.

Set up the ladder, Gu Xi supported it below, Huo Bai stood on the ladder, first swept the snow on the roof of the courtyard shed, and then swept the roof of the house where he lived, and the snow swept off the roof piled up a lot of yards, and then the two began to sweep the snow in the yard, swept the snow out of the yard, and then began to sweep the snow outside.

The snow continues to fall, and there is no tendency to stop, and if it continues to fall like this, I am afraid that I will have to do snow removal work once a day, but it is not difficult, and everyone is most happy to have something to do.

Other families in the tribe also came out to shovel snow, the strength of the people was great, and the road was quickly cleared, and there were also those who were not afraid of the cold, remembering last year's snowball fight, they had taken the lead in playing, and the little orcs also built snowmen in their yards.

Gu Xi exercised, finally warmed up, took care of some chores at home, and went out with Huo Bai, he asked Uncle Jiang to make the things he had done, and he just got them back today, he won't be too bored this winter.

The bamboo is cut into small strips or squares of bamboo, this is the prototype of the bamboo slips, Gu Xi has decided to use the winter to carve some enlightenment teaching materials, and wait until the future can teach the tribe people to read, which is more conducive to the spread of knowledge.

The clansmen also expressed their support, they often saw Gu Xi write down words they didn't know, Gu Xi's words were very beautiful in their opinion, they were very interested in learning, indeed, the words of the Tiger Clan were mostly figurative, sometimes a word can draw a lot of things, it is really a bit complicated, many times, people from other worlds simply give up writing, only some large tribes of wise people will learn, hoping that the culture of other worlds can be passed on. Gu Xi wants to teach some daily words, after all, compared to figlyphs, Chinese characters are a zero-stroke fun pavilion www.biquge.info for the clansmen, and it is still more difficult to learn, so it is better to teach some daily commonly used words first.

It is not easy to carve bamboo slips, in order to facilitate everyone to learn bamboo slips, they are also much larger than ordinary bamboo slips, but Gu Xi has not carved much after all, he has groped for himself, and he can carve a little better, of course, he can't achieve the effect of calligraphy, and it is good to be able to draw clearly.

Gu Xi took a bunch of bamboo slips back, sat in the kitchen and was ready to do it, Huo Bai had already prepared tools for him in advance, the stone beast bone knife was too sharp to be used as a carving knife, so he had to prepare again.

The biggest disadvantage of bamboo slips is that they can't be carved, and if they make a mistake, they can't be changed, and a bamboo slip will be wasted, but before finding something that can be replaced, using bamboo slips is a good choice, easy to preserve, and can be taken home by the clansmen to study, so Gu Xi is extra careful.

Let's start with the name.

Huo Bai.

Gu Xi took it seriously and engraved it on the small table, Huo Bai was watching from the sidelines, anyway, he had nothing to do, but he could take the lead in learning from Gu Xi.

When Gu Xi carved it, Huo Bai took a piece of bamboo and looked at it, he knew how Huo Bai wrote, Gu Xi had written.

"Konishi, what about yours?" Huo Bai asked.

Gu Xi smiled: "Don't worry, I'll engrave it for you" Fortunately, his name is not too complicated, lettering is really a very tiring job, at this point, the hand has begun to be sore, but the strength must be mastered, otherwise it will either be too deep or too shallow, and it will not look good.

Huo Bai put the names of the two side by side and gestured them with his fingers, what he wanted to learn first was Gu Xi's name.

Gu Xi rubbed his wrist, saw that Huo Bai had already started to study, and when he leaned over to look, he found that Huo Bai was writing his Western characters, and his heart instantly warmed, Huo Bai was really good.

"Do you know why I'm called West?" Gu Xi hasn't told anyone about his past for a long time, especially about his life, most of the people who know him only know that he was brought up by his grandmother, but most of them don't know about his parents.

Huo Bai's eyes lit up, Gu Xi had talked about his hometown many times, but he didn't mention much about home: "Why?" ”

"The word west represents the direction, that is, the direction in which the sun sets, and I was born when the sun sets, but the main thing is my mother...... It's just that my aunt likes to play mahjong... Mahjong is a kind of game, there is a card on the word is West, when my mother wants to give birth to me, just touch a West, and win... You can get a lot of things when you win, haha...... Interesting, right? This is all what Gu Xi heard from the elders in the village, and later his parents played cards and owed a lot of debts, leaving him still in swaddling clothes and running away for his grandmother, until he came to another world, he never saw them. And his grandmother died long before he was a minor.

Huo Bai knew that Gu Xi didn't really want to laugh, although he didn't understand it, but he also knew that Gu Xi was a little unhappy, and thought that he missed his family, so he put his arm around his shoulder: "Don't mention the past, now we are a family!" ”

Gu Xi nodded: "Don't worry, there are no relatives in my hometown anymore, they are all gone, and now you are my relatives." "In fact, he just misses his deceased grandmother a little, and as for his parents, he has long looked down on them, and he doesn't even remember what they looked like.

"By the way, why are you called Bai, won't it be because you are a white tiger?" Gu Xi asked.

Huo Bai nodded helplessly: "Because I was the only white tiger in the tribe at that time, my father gave it this name." ”

"Your name is also simple" Gu Xi remembered the history of Anhua's naming, and really didn't know what Anhua's children would be called in the future.

The two of them learned while carving, and later Huo Bai was able to master the skills of lettering, Gu Xi wrote the words well, Huo Bai was able to engrave, and the tacit understanding between the two became faster.

Gu Xi also engraved some numbers, compared to the counting method of the tiger clan, the modern number is much simpler, on the exchange day, Gu Xi has used, and many people have begun to try to use it, and it will be popularized in the tribe next year, like everyone in another world loves to learn, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division will definitely be able to learn, haha.

Gu Xi suddenly looked forward to the upcoming otherworldly enlightenment class.

The heavy snow really kept falling, and the outside world had become a white expanse, except for the tiger clan and the popularity, the other places were very quiet.

The Tiger Clan was not affected by the heavy snow, they had plenty of food, and they got up that day to clear the snow, find some capable work, and spend every day boring, so the original ugly fence of some people became more refined, and the house was not beautiful enough to look good, and even the nest of the clucking birds was improved, in short, the life of the tribe has risen from full food and clothing to the level of life.

It's just that this comfort didn't last long.

On that day, the orc stone patrolled the sentry tower, and saw some black spots approaching the tiger clan from a distance, and immediately informed the people in the tribe that although most of the animals hibernate in the cold winter, there will also be groups of beasts in pairs to attack the tribe.

Although the tiger clan lived comfortably, they never relaxed for a day, and the orcs had gathered at the wall.

Until the black dots get closer.

"It's the extreme north," Lie sank his face.

Everyone's expressions were stern, at this time, with the sub-beast looking for the tiger clan, what is the purpose, it is not difficult to guess.

The extreme northern tribe, last time lost the leader, lost a lot of combat effectiveness, this cold winter is heavy snow, there is not much food at all, they can't get along, and some of them know that the tiger clan has plenty of food.
