(Thank you for the reward of Wei Qingshan, thank you to all the book friends who rewarded, I love you)

Twelve-year-old Ayi has a shrewdness that is not commensurate with her age: "Why? ”

Tianhao glanced at her approvingly: "Tomorrow you have to go out with me, so you must eat enough today." Also, prepare some food to bring with you. ”

Almost immediately, Ayi asked, "Where are you taking us?" ”

What had happened before in the Rock Village appeared in the host's mind in the form of memory fragments. Tianhao quickly found and read this part of the memory. He gave a comforting look to Ayi, who was full of vigilance: "Don't worry! I'm not going to sneak you out and sell you like Pingjun did. ”

He then turned around and looked around: "I'll feed you." It's not just today, and it's not just this winter. ”

……

Humans have been observing the stars since primitive times, and predictions of the weather have also been produced. Warlocks, soothsayers, psychics...... The occult has always found its place in a different era. But no one can deny that among those bizarre and illusory so-called "prophecies", there is always a part of the true and credible content.

Two days ago, the old priest Wu Xing declared that "there will be no snow in the near future". This prophecy should have come from his years of experience observing the sky, or it could have been the wisdom of his predecessors.

Tianhao spent three days walking around the Rock Village. Thick snow has severely hampered speed, and if it were in other seasons, the exploration time could have been reduced by at least a third.

To the north are continuous mountain ranges with dense needle pine forests. From time to time, the sound of wild beasts roaring could be heard from the depths of the primeval forest, but it was impossible to determine the exact location.

There is a rugged path to the northwest that is said to lead to the "burning mountains". The old priest pulled out the dry hard clay tablets that had been used to record affairs, and Tianhao looked at it carefully, and he thought that it might be an active volcano.

To the south, about 10 kilometers vertically on the map, there is also a continuous mountain range. Along with the Northern Mountains, the north and south sides are like a pair of palms that close from the wrist and are diagonally separated towards the left and right sides. The Panshi Village is located at the bottom of the shape of the "eight", facing the middle of the opening that has not yet been closed by the "eight".

To the east is the sea, and there is a huge ice floe floating on the sea.

Some places can be explored by reading the host's memories, and there are some places that the host himself has not visited and must visit in person. This work can only be carried out during the day, and the black night means danger to the barbarians living in the Rock Village, who must return before sunset.

When Tianhao's team returned to the stockade, Pingjun came up to them.

His rough-skinned face was clearly filled with hatred and jealousy: "I thought you wouldn't come back." Tut-tut...... The youngest "Ten Leaders" in our village can kill a hero with a maned bear alone. Let me see what prey you bring back...... Hey...... Nothing? Didn't even catch a snowcock or a hare? Hehe, it seems that your luck will not always be so good, and you can always pick up a frozen bear on the mountain. ”

Yes, the bear that froze to death, this is Pingjun's understanding of Tianhao's first two hunting trips. He didn't believe it was Tianhao's work at all, and the leader and the old priest didn't reveal the secret of the Giant Horned Deer's possession.

Pingjun stared at Ayi viciously. When there was no snow, he often went to the stockade in the south, knowing that certain special women could fetch a high price there. I went there a lot of times, and I met a few acquaintances over there. Pingjun described Ayi's figure and appearance to them, and the other party promised: If Ayi is really as Pingjun said, he can give him two bison.

This is equivalent to double the price of a normal woman's transaction.

The cold weather is naturally not as good as the warm season, and Pingjun estimates that even if he takes Ayi to trade now, the price will definitely be lower than before, or even much lower. After all, the people in the southern village also have to eat, and the value of a beautiful woman can only be reflected in the season when the stomach is full. In the days when women had to be slaughtered to sustain themselves, height and weight replaced looks and stature as the most direct measure of exchange value.

Xu Ping is dead when he dies, why should I give the population under my control to Tianhao, a little bastard?

If it was in another season, Pingjun would not hand over the Ayi family anyway.

But now it's winter, and it's a different story.

Looking at Pingjun's face distorted in anger and jealousy, Tianhao asked lightly, "You want to duel with me?" ”

This is one of the accepted rules used by the northern barbarians to settle personal grievances. As long as both parties agree, it can be played under the referee of the elder or a higher status until one of the parties dies, or concedes defeat.

Ping Jun smiled evilly, slowly moved his shoulder joint, and made a crisp sound: "Even if I want to, it's useless, do you dare?" ”

Anger instantly rushed to the top of the fierce Tianmad's head, and he stood between the two of them without thinking about it, looking at Ping Jun condescendingly like a mountain: "Do you want to find death?" ”

Pingjun suppressed the ferocity in his eyes, and his flustered gaze revealed a bit of unwilling anger. He took two steps to the side to make sure he could see Tianhao, who was blocked by the Heavenly Maniac, and shouted indignantly, "I'm looking for him, not you." ”

"Ah Hao is my brother!" The furious Tianmad reached out and grabbed Pingjun's shoulder, and the latter, who had been prepared, hurriedly retreated and retreated to a safe enough position.

The shouting and arguments soon took center stage, and more and more villagers gathered around.

Tianhao grabbed the Tianmad who was about to pounce and dissuaded in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, he did it on purpose." ”

This is the main road in the stockade. Tian Hao had just taken a closer look at where Ping Jun had been standing before, and found that there were some shoe prints around him that were the same as his footprints. This means that Pingjun stayed here for a long time, just to wait for himself to appear.

Killing a hated person through a duel is a legitimate way to resolve conflicts. There is a premise for this to be done, and the provoked party must be sure to accept the duel.

In the presence of a large number of onlookers, anger can also multiply. Even the most level-headed person can hardly stay awake in a noisy environment. Tianhao had to admit that Pingjun did pick a good time for a duel, and he was only in the first stage of the fusion form at present, and the focus was on the brain. If you have a higher level of integration and invest a fusion point in physical fitness, you can at least have a tie with Pingjun.

Avoiding the angry Celestial Mania, Pingjun stood in the crowd and kept shouting provocatively.

"I'm just going to duel you. Hao, do you dare? ”

"You shrunken turtle, what qualifications do you have to be the head of the ten?"

"If you're not convinced, come here! I'm standing right here, coming to duel with me! ”

Tian Haoning glanced at him fixedly, a strange and contemptuous sneer on his face.

At such times, it is useless to say anything. The only way to prove yourself is strength. The wise man never competes with the barbarians, and the chieftain and the old priest value him, and the hunting captain is on his side.

The noise produced a loud noise, and the leader, Fu Song, came out of the wooden house, frowned, and stood on a high place unhappily and asked loudly, "What are you all doing over there?" What happened? ”

Tianhao hurriedly walked over and saluted respectfully: "Leader, I have something to report to you." ”

Fu Song's expression eased slightly: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Tianhao lowered his voice: "It's about hunting, I found a lot of prey. ”

Fu Song couldn't help but perk up, and turned around while greeting Tianhao: "Let's go, go into the house and say." ”

When he walked in with the leader, Tianhao deliberately glanced sideways at Pingjun. He made no secret of the sarcasm in his gaze, as well as the deep murderous intent.

Many times, killing people doesn't need to be done yourself. Tian Hao, who came from the era of civilization, had seen too many scenes where only one order from the superior could decide the life and death of countless people. Just open the lockbox and press the button lightly, like the nuclear bomb of the Deathbringer will spew fire and smoke, destroying cities one after another.

Duel?

Hehe, that's a boring game that fools love.

……

For the next two days, regardless of gender, young and old, everyone in Panshizhai was doing the same work.

A knife is used to dig holes in fist-sized blocks of wood and insert them with a finger-thick horizontal log, with a thin triangular wooden wing strung in between. The carefully sharpened wooden wings are very delicate, and if you gently pluck them with your hands, they will rotate and make a "whirring" sound of the wind. If you come close and blow with your mouth, the wings will spin faster, and the sound will become clearer, with a special melody.

Making this wooden wind whistle is a technical job. The leader and the old priest gathered everyone in the stockade, and in front of everyone, Tianhao made one. He continued to improve, hollowing out the inside of the wooden whistle with a knife until the sound of the wind whistle was in order.

This kind of thing is not difficult, as long as you have seen it once, you will be able to do it. The raw materials are also very simple, every household has enough fuel before winter, and only needs to cut a piece of firewood.

According to the order of the leader Fu Song, at dawn, the entire Panshi Village moved.

The old man had been left with little to eat, and all the villagers, except for the emaciated children, were concentrated in the square in the center of the village. Under the leadership of the ten people in charge of each other, they were divided into three groups, led by the leader Fu Song, the hunting captain Yonggang, and the newly promoted ten people Shou Tianhao, and walked out of the gate of the wall.

The old priest pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked into Tianhao's house. Tianshuang, who was feeding Tianfeng broth with a spoon, hurriedly stood up, and the old priest looked at the soup bowl in her hand gently, and smiled kindly: "Leave me alone, busy with you." ”

The hot broth went down to his stomach, and Tianfeng's whole person felt comfortable. He raised his head and looked at the old priest with a look full of respect and a little uneasiness: "Witch, my brother...... Do you think they'll go out this time? ”

The old priest nodded slowly, and his wrinkled face showed a hint of solemnity: "Ah Hao is the smartest person in our village. ”
