Chapter 972: Ancient World Sixteen
"It's time to eat." Ann opened his mouth to call the others.
The first to rush out were the two children wrapped in animal skin coats, Xiao Hao looked at the raw meat and lettuce on the table, and asked suspiciously, "Aunt An, are we going to eat raw food today?" ”
They haven't eaten raw food since they had eaten cooked food. The taste of raw food is completely incomparable to that of cooked food, and they will not be able to eat it if they go back to eating raw food after eating a delicious meal.
In an instant, even a child had a bitter face.
Li An stretched out his hand and pinched the little faces of the two children, after these days of delicious food and drink, the two children have grown meat, their little faces are more round, the meat on their faces is whirring, and the feeling of pinching it is very comfortable.
"Yo, the little face has become a bitter melon. Haha, rest assured, we don't eat raw food, we eat a novel way to eat today, called hot pot. ”
"Hot pot?"
After eating hot pot, the two children fell in love with this way of eating. After the whole winter, the two children asked Li An to eat hot pot every two or three days. Li An didn't make a spicy pot, and he was not afraid that the two children would get on the fire, so he fulfilled the wishes of the two children and made the two children enjoy eating.
"It's snowing." Li An held the bowl and looked out the window, the snowflakes fell from the sky one by one, looking crystal clear and beautiful.
"The snowflakes look small, much smaller than the ones we've seen in the tribe before." Shi swallowed the meat in his mouth and said.
Yu nodded: "The Sprite in the valley is much smaller outside, and the time of snow falling is half a month late." At this time, the outside of the mountain has been buried by heavy snow, right? ”
"Build a snowman, build a snowman." Xiao Lei yelled at Li An to tell him about the game with Xiao Hao, and he and Xiao Hao had been looking forward to the snow for a long time.
Li An touched Xiao Lei's head, grabbed a piece of chopsticks and put it in his small bowl: "Okay, when the weather is good, I will take you to build a snowman outside the valley." ”
There is no snowman in the valley, and the snowflakes that fall from the sky will turn into snow water as soon as they reach the ground, and they will not be able to pile up at all.
"It's time for the abandoned people to enter the forest, and I'm thinking I'll go out tomorrow to look for them." Li An looked up at Yu and Shi Dao.
Yu Mang said: "I'll accompany you." ”
Shi also said: "I'll go too." I'm not with you, I'm going in the other direction, and I'm able to search for more people. ”
Li An thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Xiao Hao can already burn a fire, and he can take care of his younger brother, and the valley is safe, leaving them food and not letting them go hungry. And the three of them won't go for days at a time, they will go out in the morning and come back in the evening. After all, it's too cold outside, so it's better to go back to your nest and sleep warmly and comfortably. As for the question of speed? Li An thought of a solution early on. At the beginning of winter, she made snowboards and sleds made from stone, and caught a beast that could run in the snow and tame it as a sled dog.
The next day, Li An prepared lunch for the two children and set off, and as for dinner, he could bake two sweet potatoes at will to fill his stomach. Li An and Yu were riding in a large sleigh with some food and animal skin cloaks on it, as well as some pills and plasters that Li An had concocted. These are for those who pick them up, and those who are driven out of the tribe must be cold and hungry, and the animal skins with food and warmth on their bodies will also be required by the tribe to leave all in the tribe and let them leave without anything.
Wearing the clothes that Li An had made for herself, and wearing a cloak of animal skins, Yu didn't feel a little cold. He couldn't help but think of the miserable way he had been cast out of the tribe, and how long had it been before he was able to act like a savior to help those who had ended up like him. It's really impermanent.
Yu looked at Li An gently, it was all because of her, it was she who gave him hope, and also brought hope to others.
"What's on my face?" Li An touched his face.
"Nothing." Yu smiled, "You look good." ”
"Thank you, you're good-looking too." Li An smiled sweetly.
Yu held Li An's hand, and just wanted to say some more love words, when suddenly Li An pulled out his hand from his palm, pointed to the front and said, "Look, is that someone?" ”
Feather: "......"
The two men were lucky, and soon after they came out, they met five people, and among these five were three old people, a woman and a child. It is said that there are three old people, but in fact, they are only about forty years old, but in this era, they can be regarded as old people. The woman was a very thin woman, and one hand was disabled, which is why she was abandoned by the tribe. The child is younger than Xiao Hao and older than Xiao Lei, she is a girl, she is the granddaughter of one of the old men, her father died in the hunt, her mother remarried, her grandfather and her old and young, the tribe was unwilling to raise them, and drove the two grandchildren out together.
The five had been hungry for a long time, their skin had been frozen purple, and they all fell to the ground dying, their eyes wide in despair, waiting for the call of death.
At this moment, two human faces appeared above their eyes, one of them with a warm smile, and asked them, "Need help?" ”
When they sat around a pile of fires called "flames" in animal skins, felt the temperature of the flames, ate the food baked by the flames, and drank the hot water boiled by the flames, the five of them felt as if they were in a dream.
They all secretly pinched their thighs with their hands, it hurt, it wasn't a dream!
"You, are you gods?" One of the old men, the turtle, asked in a trembling voice. Only a god could make such a magical fire, right?
"No, it won't." Lean smiled kindly.
Yu followed her words and said, "Ann is a divine envoy. ”
"Oracle?" The turtle and the others stared at each other. O messenger of the gods, the spokesman of the gods in the world, no wonder they can make flames!
The four adults immediately changed their sitting to kneeling, and the little girl Xue was also pulled to her knees by her grandfather and kowtowed to Li An together.
"Meet the Oracle!"
"Get up." Li An did not ask the five people not to worship him, and did not speak out until they had kowtowed. She wants to gather these people and be members of her own tribe, and use the name of the messenger of God. Otherwise, after the winter, what will these people do when they think about their tribe and run back to their tribe? Didn't you steal chickens and rice? With the name of the Divine Envoy pressing, these people will definitely prefer to stay in the tribe where the Divine Envoy is located, and will willingly become the Divine Envoy's subordinates.
The five of them got up tremblingly, and looked at Li An together with fiery eyes. Divine envoys, the legendary existence, actually let them meet.
"Oracle, thank you for saving us. Your kindness, we will always remember in our hearts. The turtle knelt down again and said excitedly, "Please allow us to serve you by your side, and please allow us to be your servants." ”
