Last night in front of the hunters, Regett didn't give Tick any more face, which made Tick's heart even more resentful and uneasy in his heart with a good face and a strong sense of vanity. How did this Regit, who is usually not good at words, hesitate to do things, and even have a little inferiority, suddenly seem to be a different person, bold and brave, calm and decisive. Could it be that everything he used to do was disguised? Could it be that it was the position of leader that gave him self-confidence and incomparable strength? Tiktor had not been able to sleep last night, and his eyes were open, and he had been thinking about the dawn of the day.

The adults and children on the floor were still sleeping soundly, and Tiktor gently put on his clothes and went to the fire pit to light the fire. The sound of a crackling wood stammering explosion woke Golotta's father. The old man shook his sleeping son awake and said to him, "Get up quickly, there may be something going on in the tribe today." Golota groaned and sat up, rubbing her eyes, and seeing that Tyktor was already sitting by the fire, she hurriedly put on her clothes, and opened the door of the house, and grabbed a handful of snow outside, and made it into a snowball with both hands, and sat down opposite Tyktor, and rubbed his face and hands like soap now.

"You say, what should we do next?" Tiktor said as he looked at the flames as he massaged his wrist, which had been hurt by Reget's spear handle before the battle with the Dire Wolf last night.

"I said," Golotta said, glancing at Tiktor's face, "hehe, let's observe for a while, if he really has the ability to manage the tribe well, then, forget it?" ”

"Nonsense! Our purpose is the ivory scimitar! Tyktor was furious, and couldn't help but raise his voice.

The sleeping people on the floor were woken up, several old people sat up, and a child began to cry. The mother is comforting the child, don't be afraid, don't cry.

"It's okay, you go back to sleep." Tiktor said to a few of the people on the floor, and then, in a low voice, said to Golotta, "Golotta, you are still too kind and stupid. You see, Regitte has only been the leader for a few days, and he can't get along with us, and if it takes a long time, he establishes his prestige, and at that time, all the dirty work has to be done by our brothers, and everything will be too late. ”

Golota was persuaded by Ticto, who promised Tictor that everything would be up to him.

Outside the house, the horn sounded three times. The people of the goshawk tribe understand that the three trumpets mean to work. In today's blizzard, going out to work is definitely not hunting, it is nothing more than cleaning up last night's battlefield.

Golota got up to see if the hunters had all come out, but Tictor drank and sat down again.

By the Rainbow Bridge, several hunters were already standing there with spears and Regit waiting for everyone. Regit said to one of the hunters, "Linko, go and see in the house of Tiktor, and tell him to come out quickly." "Holo." Lin Ke agreed and went to the Tictor house.

Although the snow was thick, due to the low temperature, the snow that had fallen last night had frozen into ice, and the snow had not had time to freeze since dawn, and it could only drown people's calves.

Lin Ke pushed open the door of Ticto's house, saw that Golota was also inside, and said, "Golota, you are also here, just in time, the leader asked me to go to the battlefield last night." Tyktor, let's go together. ”

"Go, go, you go first, we'll come later." Tiktor said impatiently.

Lin Ke is five big and three thick, he is the tallest, the most powerful, and the largest hunter in the tribe, he can eat half a roast sheep and thirty small green fruits at a time, when the hunters have nothing to do, they organize three to five people to wrestle with him, and they have never beaten him. Once, while the venison was being divided among the tribes, a hunter made a bet with him, and the hunter said that if Linkor could frame a little two-year-old mammoth that was about to pass them, all his venison would go to Linkor. Lin Ke looked at the little mammoth, which weighed at least twice as much as his own, and he tightened his belt and came to the little mammoth. The little mammoth understood that the people of the goshawk tribe would not harm it, so he did not watch out. Lin Ke bent down, got under the little mammoth's belly, pressed his shoulders against the little mammoth's belly, and with a force, the little mammoth's four feet left the ground. In order to prove his strength, Lin Ke also took the little mammoth around in two circles. The little mammoth screamed in fright. The big mammoths immediately surrounded them, ready to come to the rescue. The hunters were worried that Lin Ke would be attacked by the mammoths, and hurriedly shouted: "You have won, hurry up and put it down!" Lin Ke then put down the little mammoth, and the little mammoth turned around and ran towards his mother. An adult mammoth came up to Lin Ke, flicking his nose and blowing a voice to demonstrate to him. Lin Ke touched its fangs with his hand, but the adult mammoth raised his head and turned away. It's like saying, what do you mean?

"Wait? How long will it take? Lin Ke stood there and didn't move.

Seeing that Lin Ke would not give up if he did not call him away, he thought that if he followed Lin Ke now, it would be equivalent to obeying Reget's orders, and it would be equivalent to surrendering to Reget, thinking of this, he smiled at Lin Ke and said, "You are worthy of being a person who can complete the task." In this case, let Golota follow you first, and I will clean up the fire pit and come right away. ”

"Good. You have to hurry. Lin Ke said and turned to leave.

"Phew!" Tyktor spat in the direction of the door, "Stupid rice bag! ”

Golota's father, who was sitting on the floor, said, "Linko can't hear it, and everyone is gone." ”

Carrying a bag of things in his hand, Uger led the hunters to the corpse of Wangmu. Because he was at the bottom of the cliff, in a sheltered place from the wind, Wangmu's body did not have a thick layer of ice and snow, but his body was all frozen, and he could not stretch out in a posture of sitting bent. "We can't let her sit like this forever, can we?" "Let's move her to the house and make a fire so that her body can stretch out." The hunters express their opinions and come up with ideas.

Ug called Regit aside and said something to him. Regitte looked at Ugg with a half-believing look and said, "Okay, try as you say." ”

Regit said to the hunters, "Carry Wangmu to the cave on the other side of the Pine Cliff." Be careful! ”

The hunters carefully moved Wangmu's body down so that her body was facing forward, and the eight men took turns carrying it to the Pine Bluff.

The goshawk tribe called this cliff the pine cliff, not because the cliff was shaped like a pine tree, but because in the valley below the cliff, there were several extremely thick and straight towering ancient pines, and even the lofty goshawks were willing to perch on their branches. Mammoetha's son was buried at the foot of one of the pine trees.

The hunters carried Wangmu's body to a hole halfway up the cliff and gently lowered it on a step. The plank road leading to this cave is very dangerous, and if you can't step on it for a while, you may fall if you can't grasp it tightly, and all the carnivores can't go up, so the goshawk tribe will place the undead here, which can be regarded as protecting them, at least, so as not to make the undead be trampled by the beasts.

Uger took out a piece of cooked meat and a few fruits from the bag, placed them in front of Wangmu's corpse, asked everyone to kneel, knelt in front of him, put his palms together in front of his chest, looked at Wangmu's corpse, and said: "There is an end to the vast snowy region, and the sun and the moon are often reincarnated." Who has no death in the world, and makes the return a destination. The widow drove away on the crane, and we were overwhelmed with grief. For the goshawk tribe, it can be described as a great loss. For her husband Mai Aten, she has never lost her beloved wife. Yu beloved daughter Aida, never lost her mother's love. The destruction of all things is arranged by God. Thou shalt pass away from the gods, and it is the summons of the gods. Forever in the world, away from the chaos, break the bad fate, and return to Hongfu. The old chief has traveled far away, and we will always look forward to returning. Ayida is the elder, and I accompany you every day. May the Heroic Soul travel well and live a long life in another world! Feast! ”

As Ugg said this, he could already see that the ice and snow on the exterior of Wangmu's corpse were beginning to melt. She pinched off the minced flesh and threw it into the air, picking off the slices of fruit and throwing them into the air, for the wandering soul of Wangmu to accept.

As he was done, Ugg began to mutter a term that none of the hunters present understood. None of the hunters could understand her, but Ugg's voice grew louder and faster, telling that she was chanting a spell. It took about a long time to walk from Wangmu's house to the top of the Rainbow Bridge, and the snow on the surface of Wangmu's corpse had melted, and the snow water flowed down the steps and down the edge. Immediately afterwards, the body's muscles and bones became weak, and while it fell on its side, it lay down.

At this time, Uger's face was already covered with beads of sweat. She said to the hunters, "Lift up your heads, lift her to the innermost part, and let her sleep well." ”

Regett and all the hunters looked up, stood up, and looked around at the corpse of Wangmu, who looked like a sleeping person, and was so surprised that they couldn't believe their eyes.

Titor spear in hand, followed the hunters' footprints to the bottom of the pine cliffs. He looked up at the mouth of the cave, didn't know what he was thinking, turned to leave, and stood still. After hesitating, he climbed up from the plank road.

As Tiktor entered the cave, the hunters picked up Wangmu's corpse and prepared to go inside.

Seeing that everyone was carrying a woman's corpse intact, Tiktor hurriedly ran over, and when he saw it, it was Wangmu! "She? What's going on with her? Tyktor asked.

The hunters carried Wangmu's corpse into the cave without even looking at him. As if he had phlegm stuck in his throat, Uger "clicked" vigorously, indicating that he was not welcome.

Golota walked behind and whispered to Tyktor, "Last night, after giving birth to a child, Wangmu was very weak. Her house was on fire, and when she escaped, she got the cold and ......"

Tiktor nodded slightly, a smug smile crossed his face, and whispered to Golota, "Hmph! That's what happens if you don't take me Tiktor seriously! ”

"You" Golota seemed to guess that the fire in Wangmu's house last night was Tyktor's work. He gestured at Tictor, but stopped talking.

"Go, see off the woman of your old chief." Tyktor said, turned and walked out of the cave.

Golotta looked at Tyktor's back and shuddered.

After all, it's a thief. When Tiktor descended the boardwalk, he had always seen the scene of him placing the torch behind Wangmu's house the previous night, slipping under his feet, his hand was not steady, he knocked on a raised stone, fell, "sigh", and lay in the snow and ice. He hurriedly got up, covered his aching buttocks on the cliff when he fell down just now, and limped towards his house.

After placing Wangmu's body, Ug asked Regit to rub the fire and light a pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave, and everyone took care of each other and went down the plank road.

On the way back to the tribe, everyone praised Ugg's magic skills. Ugg just listened, and did not speak.

Uger deliberately walked to the last side and said to Regit: "Wait, chief. ”

Reget, hearing Ugg call out to him, told the hunters to go back and get some rest, and stood still.

Ug came to Regit and said straight to the point: "Chief, the fire in Wangmu's house last night may have been deliberately done. ”

"I also find it strange," Regitte said. The last house that caught fire was separated from Wangmu's, and according to common sense, it should have been the upper one that caught fire before it burned. ”

Ugg pinched his fingertips with his right hand and said, "That's right." A life is not easy to come by, and it can't just be left at that. ”
