On the top of a barren hill from the Magnus Mountains to the Alphonse Snowy Mountains, on a small flat plot, there is a separate stone house. It is said that it is a stone house, but it is better to say that it is a huge stone with a hollowed out center, but I don't know whether it is a natural formation or man-made, and in the boulder lies a 'wild man' whose body is much larger than that of a normal adult, but he has long hair, a grim appearance, and a withered shape. From his serene countenance and even breathing, it was evident that he had slept soundly. Beside him slept two little boys, one of whom had round and white arms, wrapped around the black and thin neck of the wild man, his little head with blond hair, leaning on the chest of the wild man with thick hair everywhere on his body, his little mouth slightly open from the cold, showing two rows of neat snow-white teeth, and a happy expression on his childish face. Probably something good happened in his sleep. Apparently he hugged the wild man like a blanket. Although he was an orphan, he had a wild man who could be called a 'father', and an older brother who loved him very much and thought of him for all good things.

The boy's name was Toth, and he was wrapped in the fur of a wild animal, and his shoes were made of the hair of some animal. The other boy he grew up with was in stark contrast to his thin hands and feet, and he had multiple frostbites all over his body. In such a climate, wearing only a thin dress that I don't know how many years I have been wearing, looks very tight, has turned black, and has a sour taste, it may be that he wore it when he was very young, but this is good, in such a cold environment, the clothes will firmly wrap the body and not be able to breathe more warmth.

However, because the clothes are so thin, there are still many places on his body that are frostbitten, and he is Toth's older brother, Toya.

Whether the two of them were brothers or not, no one remembers.

Whether it is in this environment that the same kind of people snuggle up to each other, trust each other or what, no one knows. Perhaps, whether they are related by blood or not is not important to these two children at all, Toya regards Toth as his own brother, and Toth also treats Toya as his own brother. Savages don't speak human words, and Toya and Toth can only communicate with each other. Toyah and Toth's names were also acquired by the two for each other. Inspired by the often pronounced by savages, "ta and ts." "Although I can't understand the very simple original pronunciation of the savage, but we have lived together for so long, TA stands for savage happy, and TS stands for savage sadness. It seems like that's the case.

Food is actually abundant here in the Magnus Mountains, but the biggest enemy is this harsh climate, after all, it is close to the Alphonse Snow Mountain, and it is often attacked by cold air, and at night, it is to urinate, and the hot urine has just gone out and poured on the ground, and it has turned into ice. It's so scary.

Speaking of the fur clothes on Thoth's body, it was when they stumbled upon a beast with thick fur when they were helping the wild people find prey like a hound in the mountains many years ago, and it was not very large, at most it was the size of a teenager.

The wild men killed it, and the three of them ate its flesh.

The fur of the beast was only enough to make a garment to wear on a man, so there was a man who was destined not to be able to wear this warm garment, and Toya said that he would not wear anything, and that he would have to let Toth wear it, and according to the reason he gave, he was older than Toth, and he was the elder brother...... Of course, this is also what it looks like is bigger than Toth, but who knows what it actually is. In this near-freezing temperature, Toya was dressed in thin, torn clothes, which could not withstand such a cold at all, and he had some dry dead grass under him, and he hugged the dead grass tightly. Fortunately, there was a bonfire outside the cave that had already burned out and still had some residual warmth.

No, there are very few animals with thick fur that can be made into warm clothes, and you can barely see them, and you may be able to see slightly larger animals over a few hills.

Toya and Toth had only seen it a few times in years, and only once had they succeeded in informing the wildlings to kill it. The beast was very clever and swift, and could escape danger in the blink of an eye.

Usually Toyah and Toth catch some gray squirrels, black grouse, hazel grouse, grouse, arctic salamanders and cold toad frogs to satisfy their hunger.

It is worth mentioning that they collect the down of the birds and spread it underground in the megalithic cave.

Laying one layer on the ground is more effective than sleeping on a cold stone and covering ten layers. If you lie directly on the rock, the stone will absorb the heat from your body...... This is an expert in survival in the wilderness, and what Bei Ye said is very credible. Toth and Toya didn't know Bei Ye, and they didn't get much knowledge from him. But nature itself is the best teacher, forcing man to grow, to adapt, and then ...... Survival of the fittest. This in itself is a very cruel thing. The power of human beings is small, and even now, when technology is advanced and can control the local weather, no one dares to stand up and say that he can fight against nature. Earthquakes, typhoons, flash floods, tsunamis...... In the face of natural disasters, human beings are very powerless. A single natural disaster can wipe out hundreds of thousands of lives.

Without technology as a weapon, human beings are definitely not strong in nature.

A little spider, a poisonous snake...... Even a mosquito that can be killed with just one slap can kill a person. And those beasts that are swifter and more powerful than men, and even—those fierce beasts.

A lot of things Toya and Toth had forgotten, where they came from, who they were, all they remembered was that they lived here, long ago, in the boulder cave at the top of the mountain, and they were taken in by this wild man to survive.

The wildlings seemed to treat them as if they were their own children and did not harm them.

But now the wildlings are hibernating.

Being able to adapt quickly to a variety of environments and situations, and using creativity is a human gift.

It is also because of this that human beings are weak, but they stand in a very high position in this world and create the human world, those cities, those kingdoms...... In the human world, humans dominate everything, weapons that can kill the world's most ferocious beasts with one blow, and those awakened people who can kill brown bears with one punch, can be regarded as new humans created by humans and created with technology.

Here, there is a wild man, and two human children.

A wild man can't create anything, he's extremely simple.

Shelter, water, food. He only knew these three things since he was born, which were essential for him to live, he didn't know why they existed, he didn't think about such meaningless things, he lived completely according to the instinct of living beings.

For these two human children, they adapted to the wild man, saw him as a relative, and were sheltered by him. At the same time, they will create.

They created fire, two stones struck together to create sparks, hit the ignition of the fire, blew out flames, fed with dead grass and dead wood, and formed the most effective bonfire against the cold. The stone they set fire to is called flint, and its chemical composition is silica, and the mineral composition is chalcedony, which is dense and lumpy, and is an ore containing gunpowder. They don't need this kind of textbook knowledge, because nature will teach them many things and will give them many things. Accept it, and then survive the fittest, defy nature, and what you want to contend with will only become the nourishment of nature.

As the fire went out for warmth, Toth crawled up as if his nerves had been touched, and he saw Toya, cowering into a ball of hay...... If Toya hadn't been giving himself the best and wearing 'warm clothes' for himself, he would be the one who is now frostbitten, cowering and trembling.

He was determined to go and collect some firewood and come back and light the campfire again.

There was only one 'warm suit', which was worn on Toth's body, and if Toya was allowed out in such weather, he would surely freeze to death.

"I'll go with you."

Toth didn't want to alarm Toyah, but he didn't expect him to fall asleep...... I guess I was awakened by the cold.

"It's cold outside, I'll go alone, brother, you just rest here."

Toya got up, clasped his hands around his chest, jumped his body to warm his body, and said tremblingly: "It's not cold when you move around, if you continue to stay here, you will freeze to death." ”

Toya was wearing straw sandals stuffed with some bird down, which was not very warm, so he had severe frostbite on his heels and toes, although it was not to the extent of amputation, but if he continued, he would have to be amputated sooner or later...... After all, winter is coming, and the days will get colder and colder day by day.

The jump also caused the frostbite on Toya's feet to crack, and he endured the pain and pretended to be fine. If you take off Toya's clothes, you can definitely see the terrible and disgusting frostbite all over his body, some of which have pus and a foul smell.

Toya leaned against the stone wall and explained that his feet were numb, but Toth knew...... Although he doesn't debunk it, he can understand many things.

He also knew that if he took off his clothes and put them on Toyah, Toya would be angry again. So he stretched out his hand to help him.

"No, I can do it myself."

Toth ignored it, and gently brought Toya upstairs, wanting to share the warmth on his body with Toya, but he didn't dare to push too hard, as soon as those frostbite touched, there would be a pain in the heart.

"Brother, you are so good to me, I swear, my life is your life...... No matter what happens in the future, I will listen to you. ”

"Don't be numb, hurry up and find some firewood, it's cold."

Toya and Toth left the stone house to collect firewood, as the dead branches that could be collected around had already been collected, and they ran a little farther away.

Shortly after they left, several falcons circled the top of the hill and stared at the stone house, as if searching for some prey, and locked on to their target...... The falcon flew away silently.

Toya and Toth left for half an hour.

However, on their way back, they met several people.

Encountering a long-lost human, Toya and Toth are both happy.

From their mouths, Toya and Toth knew that they were hunters, people who specialized in hunting ferocious beasts.

Although Toya and Toth don't know what the beasts are, these hunters shouldn't be bad.

They want to leave this place with Toya and Toth and return to the city where humans live.

Their words are tempting, back to the human world, they will not be cold, there will be no hunger......

Two of the hunters took off their coats and wrapped them around Toya and Toth, making them feel warm.

Now in front of Toyah and Toth are two options.

Continue to live here with that wild man, or return to the human world with these humans......

Toth stood beside Toyah, holding Toyah's hand tightly, and he didn't say anything, staring at Toah with all the shocked eyes of a child, as if to say, "Whatever you decide, I'll listen to you." "Same.

Toyah is a smarter man than Toth, he's a good thinker, if he stays here......

He made the decision for Toth, they were going to leave here and return to the human world.

Rather than freeze to death here, they chose to leave, and that wild man was not actually a human.

Toyah already knew.

He chose to leave.

The hunters who came to their rescue only happened to pass by, and their domesticated falcons spotted human tracks, so they told the hunters.

When they arrived and saw the human children, of course, they would not let them go, so they decided to take them back and hand them over to the welfare agency.

Toya reported his name and said, "My name is Toya, and he is my brother Toth. ”

One of the hunters asked, "Are you the only ones here?" ”

Toth would have liked to say that there was also one of their 'fathers', the wild man.

But Toya stopped him with a look, and he told the hunter that it was only the two of them, and they didn't remember why they were here.

Toya did this to protect the wild man.

He would be considered a monster in the human world, he is not human at all...... Unable to fit into the human world.

This was where he was supposed to be.

He has his freedom here, and if he goes to the human world, he may be captured and studied as a monster or killed.

Toya looked far away and analyzed the stakes, so he hid the wild man.

Although Toth didn't think as much as Toyah, he had already listened to Toah.

In fact, he was reluctant, but he continued to stay here...... Toya will freeze to death.

He doesn't want that! He wanted Toya to live.

He didn't want Toah to be cold or hungry again.

So even if he regarded the wild man as his father, he chose to listen to Toya's words and chose to leave.

The hunters had known about the existence of the wild man for a long time, but after all, it was not in the mission of the Hunters' Guild, and they would not do anything superfluous.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a ferocious beast......
