The boundless white expanse covers the entire land.

The mountains in the distance were buried, and the snow was falling, from the cotton balls to the air to sprinkle salt......

Zhou Shuangshuang opened the thicker and thicker blade of grass door that had been reinforced.

Next to the door, there is a path that is constantly being cleared and spreads towards the cave.

But the snow had been falling for too long, even though they had to clear the snow around the house and the road every once in a while, but when Zhou Shuangshuang stepped in, the snow boots on her feet still "creaked" and were buried deep in the snow.

But that's about it.

Where they didn't clear it, the snow was thick enough to be seventy or eighty centimeters.

Now it's only about ten centimeters, which is already the result of a lot of care.

Wait a minute, and the next cleanup will begin.

……………………

Zhou Shuangshuang looked at the snow white in his eyes, and the cave in front of him that was pregnant with countless lives-

Through the layers of green doors, she seemed to see a group of goose-yellow chicks leisurely walking through the same pale green vegetables, and pecking at the tender vegetable leaves.

Behind her, Keiya followed.

Not only Kai, but also several other young adults that Zhou Shuangshuang was already familiar with, including Di.

They were wrapped in animal skins, down jackets, and the soles of their feet were also wrapped in animal skins, and a layer of knee-high rain boots, looking at the heavy snow, their expressions were confident and satisfied.

"Lu, when will your child be born?"

Sa asked.

He wasn't strong enough, and the women of the tribe still didn't want to have children with him.

But reproduction is rooted in their hearts, instinct.

These are two traits that all species must have.

One is survival, and the other is reproduction.

And the purpose of reproduction is the transmission of life. ①

When the conditions for survival are satisfied, then reproduction is a matter of course.

And now, this winter, which is obviously very cruel, but because of Zhou Shuangshuang, it is suddenly full of hope, and the people who can't hunt seem to usher in spring in advance.

However, Sa has a long body, and her facial features are a little close to Zhou Shuangshuang - in her eyes, Sa's body and facial features are getting closer and closer to modern people.

But in the eyes of others, his body is not strong enough, his facial features are weird, quite ugly, and there are no layers of hair on his limbs and torso......

Therefore, so far, no woman is willing to let him be the other half and give birth to offspring.

For this reason, Sa has become more and more considerate.

He learned a lot of pregnancy from Zhou Shuangshuang, and is trying to teach it to all women in stumbling language—this behavior makes him very popular.

As a result, he paid more attention to those who conceived children.

As for Lu ......

Lu was injured during the second hunt, and while recuperating from his injuries, a woman from the tribe became pregnant.

That's his child.

Although there is no marriage here, and there is no concept of forming a family, since the other party is willing to conceive his own children with him, Lu works harder and harder.

He liked this woman very much, so he had to work harder, hunting, hoping that the other party would be willing to conceive the next child with him......

Their ethnic group is still too small.

………………………

At this point, they have to clear the road again, clear the roofs and the snow around the houses, and bring in some dry firewood.

Then, in the cave ahead, check if the fire in the stone mortar will be extinguished.

Of course, you have to be careful not to step on the chicks.

Although the weather is unprecedentedly cold, they already have such magical warm clothes on their bodies, and they still have gloves on their hands......

The weaker members of the tribe had begun to learn to weave from the thin, very flexible bark of the torn tree, wrapped in blades of grass.

- Although, I haven't been able to make a pair yet.

However, there was already a pair of strange-looking ones who had not succeeded in separating their fingers, and had been put on their feet by the leader of the tribe, Kai.

Pretty good.

- It's just a little too thick.

This is Kai's impression.

Everyone:......

Although I don't understand this feeling, but according to Zhou Shuangshuang's words, it is-

Hey, I'm so jealous!

………………………………

Temperatures are still very low.

This heavy snow is too thick, although it has become smaller now, but Zhou Shuangshuang doesn't know if it will fall.

At the same time, the snow layer is so thick that even if the sun appears, it will take a long time to melt the snow.

At this time, the house lot they chose by mistake happened to be the end of a "√" type gentle slope - although the magnification was greatly magnified countless times, Zhou Shuangshuang had already seen it clearly when he came back from hunting.

Also, the soil on the mountain is mixed with rocks, and the slopes are not suspended - presumably, even if the snow melts, this place is quite good......

Zhou Shuangshuang thought so, and her heart was also relieved.

Looking at this thick layer of snow, her heart was relaxed, and she casually gathered the snow with her hands, and soon condensed a rectangular snow embryo - although, it was not so regular.

However, she has a lot of strength, and the snow pressure is quite solid at the moment, and it is very strong.

For the entire ethnic group, Zhou Shuangshuang is a very magical person.

Therefore, no matter what she does, everyone will watch very seriously.

Now, Qi, Di, Lu, and Sa, as well as the large crowd of people behind her, stretched their necks to see her squatting there, building up layers of snow.

The weather was cold, and the snow embryos were crushed into the shape of bricks, exposed to the air, and soon became more and more frozen.

Zhou Shuangshuang is just a whim, the Inuit (2) snow house, she hasn't studied how to build it yet.

At this moment, after only casually building three sections, she stood up, stomped her feet, and said to herself: "I wonder if it will be stronger if you splash some water on the snow bricks and put it again?" ”

looked at the white expanse around again, and sighed: "This kind of environment, splashing water to record video, it should be very good......"

Zhou Shuangshuang turned to look at Qi, who was looking at the snow bricks intently, and laughed softly: "If you continue to build it like this, maybe you will build a better, stronger, and warmer snow house than our house!" ”

And as soon as this sentence fell, through the widening eyes of the enlightenment, Zhou Shuangshuang clearly saw himself-

Self that is gradually disappearing.

The familiar feeling of weightlessness came, and she lowered her head, finding that from the waist down, it had turned into a little golden light that she had seen in the last days......

Without any feeling, the golden light dissipated in the air like a fluttering firefly.

And constantly spread to the head.

The last thing Zhou Shuangshuang saw was the palm that Qi had stretched out in vain.

In the next moment, her eyes went black, and she immediately lost consciousness.

………………

In the wind and snow, all the people wrapped in colorful clothes showed their hairy faces, and their black and brown eyes looked at the place where she had disappeared, and did not make a sound.

They stood there in vain, staring wide-eyed at the empty void, motionless, like monuments of history.

And the green house is the hope of the survival of the ethnic group.
