"Yuan, you came so early today."

On the path between the tribal stone houses, a resident greeted him warmly as he watched Yanagihara pass by with a basket of stones on his back.

"Ahh Yanagihara nodded in response, and then continued to carry the basket of human-height stones towards the outside of the tribe.

After a day of probation, de Sade finally decided to hire Yanagihara to prepare for the winter.

No way, after all, you can't find such a good workforce anywhere.

Oh, and don't get me wrong, it's just that it's just a lot of strength, a hard worker, and there's no other metaphor.

In short, Yanagihara and Al will stay in the tribe for a while, helping them with all the tasks before the winter, including hunting beasts, preparing food, building defensive walls, and so on.

"Bang bang." With Yanagihara's footsteps, the heavy stones behind her bumped against each other with a muffled sound.

The residents wiped their foreheads with shame as they watched the woman, who was clearly not strong, walking down the road with a basket of rocks about the height of hers.

"Hara's strength is really great."

"yes, I heard that she killed a snowwolf when she was hunting yesterday."

"Hey, so powerful?"

"It should be true, my cousin Scott was also involved in the hunt yesterday, and he told me that Hara's marksmanship was very accurate, and he didn't miss a shot all day."

"What does it mean that you haven't missed?"

"That's what it means to kill a dozen beasts."

"My mom, that's better than a hunting team."

"Indeed, hey, do you think she will be a member of the Central Mercenary Group, I have never seen anyone else do things so well other than them."

"It's possible, and judging by her appearance, she's also a core member."

"Hey! What are you two talking about there, winter is coming, if you don't want to freeze to death, hurry up and work! ”

"Got it, got it!"

"Tsk, that's annoying."

······

On the outskirts of the tribe, Yanagihara and DeSade's team are building stone walls to defend against wild beasts.

The way to build a stone wall is as simple as stacking stones that fit together, filling the gaps with snow, and finally pouring hot water from a thermos on top of it.

Today, the weather on the ice sheet is cold enough to freeze the exposed ordinary liquids quickly.

However, de Sade is still quite glad for this, in his words, the weather is much warmer this year than in previous winters.

However, Yanagihara didn't feel much about the temperature, after all, she couldn't feel the change in temperature.

So she just continued to do what she was doing, appearing to be concentrated.

Truth be told, this kind of work of stacking objects of different sizes together can sometimes be inexplicably pleasant.

It's like a game called Tetris that she used to play when she was a child, and every time the cubes fit perfectly with each other, it makes people feel a burst of comfort.

(So, you just like to stack blocks, right?) ）

Don't care about Yanagihara's childish behavior.

On the other side, DeSade was laboriously putting a stone on the wall, and he didn't have the strength of Yanagihara to treat his work as a game.

Suddenly, perhaps noticing something, he looked at three figures who were sneaking in from outside the stone walls.

"Jasmine! Joel! York! You three stop me! I heard DeSade scream harshly.

The three figures, who had planned to sneak into the tribe, immediately stopped in place.

Yanagihara looked sideways and saw their appearance clearly, these should be three children who were still a little young, all about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"How many times have I told you, these are extraordinary times, don't let me run around. Is it so difficult for you to stay in the tribe and help the adults do something? ”

DeSade chattered as he frowned as he walked towards the three small-looking teenagers.

"Dad, we're doing things right now, how many times do you have to say it before you understand that we're doing something meaningful to all of humanity."

Listening to her father's nagging, Jasmine turned her head back and said a word of dissatisfaction.

Then, before de Sade could react, she turned around and shouted at the other two teenagers named Joel and York.

"Run!"

As soon as the words fell, the three little ones who had already had a tacit understanding ran away in three different directions at the same time, so that DeSade could only scream angrily behind their backs.

"You guys! Stop me! Damn, can't you save people snacks!? ”

But it obviously didn't mean anything, and the three children ran into the tribe in a hurry.

Knowing that he could no longer catch up with the three little things, de Sade sighed helplessly, walked back to the stone wall, and buried himself in his work.

"Are they all your children?"

Yanagihara asked curiously as he stood aside.

"No, only the youngest girl is my child, and the other two boys are orphans in the tribe. Their parents, died one winter. ”

DeSade said, a subtle hint of nostalgia and sentimentality in his eyes.

Yanagihara didn't mention the past with interest, but continued as if chattering.

"Looks like three naughty little ones."

"yes, if only they could be half as well-behaved as your sister." DeSade shook his head with a smile, looked in the direction of the three children's departure, and raised his brow helplessly.

yes, I think Al could have half as lively as them.

Yanagihara shrugged his shoulders flatly, placed a stone on the stone wall again, wiped two handfuls of snow, and poured some hot water on it.

"By the way, what are they talking about that is meaningful to all of humanity?"

Probably because of boredom, Yanagihara asked casually.

"Who knows, you can believe what your child says? It's just that Jasmine babbles every day, saying that Joel and York are going to live on the stars. ”
