Dinner was smoked meat, which tasted much better than cheap jerky made in greenhouses, with at least some spices. The spices on the ice fields are not difficult to obtain, and most of their raw materials come from the secretions of wild beasts, and for the ice tribes who hunt for three seasons a year, similar reserves will naturally not be scarce.

Probably to entertain guests, Jasmine's mother cooked a short section of toothed deer's antlers and served it on the table. This is definitely a relatively rare thing, not to mention that the toothed deer is quite rare in the central ice field, and their nearly four-meter-long size and the pair of sharp horns that can pierce ordinary beasts directly are already destined to be extremely difficult to hunt.

In addition, the toothed deer, as a carnivore that resembles a deer, also has two rows of teeth with extremely dense bones. The teeth will even puncture the flesh of their mouths as they grow, leaving them exposed, so that they always look rather hideous on the outside.

However, if you peel off the shell from the sharp corners, the medullary "white meat" inside is an excellent ingredient, rich in nutrients, and will taste a little milky.

Maybe it's because the food tastes good, so this dinner is also quite pleasant.

It was probably when the food on the table was about to be eaten that Jasmine suddenly spoke up and said to De Sade.

"Dad, do you need to go hunting tomorrow?"

"Hunting?" De Sade was a little surprised by his daughter's active communication, and with a little joy, he replied with the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

"No, the results of the previous hunts were very good, especially the last time, with the help of Yanagihara, we harvested at least 30% more prey. Now that the food in the tribe is plentiful, at least at the end of winter, we don't have to go out hunting. ”

"That's it." Jasmine nodded, then suddenly looked at Yanagihara and said, "Then can I let Yanagihara follow me tomorrow, I want her to do something for me." ”

Yanagihara was an outsider hired by her father, something she had heard from the mouths of the tribesmen before.

But her request made Yanagihara and DeSade stunned for a moment.

"Hmm." After frowning and muttering for a while, De Sadd looked at Jasmine again and spoke

"What do you need Yanagihara to help you do, and I can't directly promise you about this, you still need to ask Yanagihara if she wants to."

"What I'm going to do, I can't tell you right now, but you'll know in a month at most. As for Yanagihara, I think she'll promise me, right? ”

As she spoke, Jasmine raised her eyebrows and turned her head, squeezing her eyes at Yanagihara quirkily.

Her idea was simple, that is, since Yanagihara already knew her secret, Yanagihara should naturally do something to help.

Although she didn't know what Yanagihara could do, at least she had heard that Yanagihara had a lot of strength.

After looking at Jasmine in silence for a while, Yanagihara helplessly pulled a smile on his face and nodded.

"Yes, I promise you."

"But Yanagihara ······" DeSade seems to be hesitant.

But then, Yanagihara gave him a reassuring look.

"It's nothing DeSade, and besides, I can take care of this little guy by the way, can I?"

"That's true, but who is going to do the work that belongs to you in the tribe?" Sad's embarrassment asks a fundamental question.

"Uh······"

How to say it, at this time, Liu Yuan had a feeling that he wanted to fish with righteous words, but he was discovered in a serious way, and this mood was really embarrassing.

After some discussion, the three finally came to a decision to let Yanagihara work one day and take care of Jasmine one day.

DeSade was satisfied with this, because through his observations during this time, he had a good faith in Yanagihara's character and abilities.

Being able to let Yanagihara help take care of a little Jasmine, he doesn't have to worry about Jasmine's safety.

Although he didn't know why Jasmine let Yanagihara follow her, he felt that he might be able to learn some clues from Yanagihara's mouth, and then deduce what Jasmine and Yorjock were doing.

It's just that this obviously requires him to pay some more wages.

In fact, De Sade hadn't considered sending someone to investigate his daughter before, but he was always a tribal leader, wasn't he, and the tribe that had just settled down always had a lot of things to deal with, which made him very busy every day. So much so that in the past few years, he has spent a lot less time on his family.

He felt guilty about it, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, as a leader, he needs to be responsible for the entire tribe, rather than always keeping an eye on the whereabouts of a few children.

It's never easy to juggle this kind of thing.

So, when Jasmine offered to let Yanagihara follow her, de Sade was happy to see it.

And he felt that it might be an opportunity, a chance to repair the relationship between him and Jasmine.

He wanted Jasmine to know that he could support her, as long as she was willing to consult with him.

······

After dinner, Yanagihara took Al to say goodbye to the DeSade family.

By this time it was already snowing outside, and patches of silver covered the tribes in the valley, so that a thin layer of hoarfrost formed on the doors and windows of the stone houses on both sides.

It makes the world seem cruel and cold.

But Yanagihara just looked at the end of the road in distraction, and let out a soft breath with a half-sound.

Her expression was very relaxed, like an old man sitting on a chaise longue by the fire.

"Yanagihara." Al, who was walking aside, probably sensed something, and looked up holding the rabbit doll.

"You look like you're happy."

"yes, I'm happy." Yanagihara said, raising his brow lightly, and casually put his hand on Al's head.

"Because I've found that you're growing up."

My children.

For I find that you are taking on the responsibility for the continuation of our race.

Under this sky of despair, your eyes seem to have seen a glimmer of light.
