Chapter 61: Settling In
Outside the window, the snow was falling heavily, and a shallow layer of snow was quickly covered, and the fire inside the house was burning vigorously, dispelling a little of the winter cold.
Liang Jian's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, they were all a little incredulous when they heard the words, hesitated for a while, and saw that Liang Jian's face slowly cooled down, and someone began to respond one after another.
This result made Liang Jian a little satisfied, and the lack of courage was also a little disdainful.
"You guys have a night's rest first, and I'll take you to get acquainted with it tomorrow. Qin Yue saw that everyone was a little afraid of Liang Jian, so he smiled to ease the atmosphere.
However, I have to say that Liang Jian said these words in the tone of reprimanding the employees before, which really gave them a deterrent, even if they got out of the status of slaves, they couldn't think of anything else for a while.
As soon as Qin Yue's words fell, they felt that their tense nerves were relaxed, and it was not early, so they cleaned up and fell asleep at will.
The wooden hut warmed by the firelight was covered with soft animal skins, which made the slaves uneasy at the same time, but also with joy in their hearts.
The curtain of the animal skin was closed, and the few people couldn't help but get into the animal skin, chattering excitedly with the people next to them, only a thin little boy hid in the corner, looking at the others defensively, and his big clear eyes were not closed in the dark for a long time.
The next morning, when the sky was overcast, snowflakes from the north blew into the open room.
Qin Yue was so cold that he covered his ears and stomped his feet, and hurriedly lit the fire with a flint to keep warm, and stared at the two sheep alone.
Liang Jian went out early in the morning, although they had stocked up enough food before the harsh winter came, and it was more than enough for two people to eat, but there were ten more people, and the rations were consumed, so he took people out to hunt.
Qin Yue disagreed in her heart, hunting in winter is difficult, not to mention going out when it is snowing, the difficulty will naturally double, but she can't stop it, Liang Jian has the heart to experience these people, so as not to let them get something for nothing.
He was the only little boy left, Qin Yue saw that he was too thin, and he was not in a hurry to leave him at this time.
"Come here. Qin Yue beckoned to him, smiling kindly.
With a little puzzlement in his big eyes, he hesitated for a moment, but still obediently walked over and stood at a distance of one meter away from Qin Yue.
His body was dirty, with only a single animal skin wrapped around his body, and a few holes, frostbite on his exposed skin, and his little hands were even more miserable.
Qin Yue was silent for a while, but at the age of more than ten years, she was spoiled by her family in her time, and no one knew if she would freeze to death or starve to death here.
She smiled and pulled him to the stove, and brought hot water to wash his dirty little face, and his exposed skin was also cleaned.
When she inadvertently rubbed the chilblains on his body, she heard his subtle inhalation, and Qin Yue took the medicine powder to treat chilblains and carefully smeared it on him, which she had chilblains on her hands before.
"Well, don't touch the water these days. Qin Yue looked at the fruits of her labor with satisfaction, and then noticed that the boy in front of him had big eyes, a pointed chin, and delicate facial features, like a girl.
The defense in his big eyes faded a lot, and he nodded obediently listening to Qin Yue's words.
Qin Yue touched his head with a smile and said with a smile: "Really good." ”
It made his dark little face flush, Qin Yue let go of his hand, and said again uneasily: "You have frostbite on your body, it will be like this when the weather is cold, and your back body will itch, you can't scratch it with your hands, endure it for a while and wait for the frostbite to heal, and it won't itch." ”
In the past, when Liang Jian went out hunting, Qin Yue was always alone in the wooden house, and she was always so busy that she couldn't be idle for a moment like a spinning top, but now that she had someone as her companion, she was suddenly a lot happier.
Even if this person was a little silent, Qin Yue was still happy to talk to him.
Time passed quickly, and when night fell, Liang Jian and his party came back with snow on their shoulders and ice slag on their broken hair.
The bustling shouting woke up Qin Yue, who was lying on the animal skin to make up for sleep, and she opened the animal skin curtain to see Liang Jian with a high-spirited smile.
Seeing this, she was overjoyed, is this a harvest?
Sure enough, there were a few wild antelopes on the floor of the hall that were not fat, but it was extremely difficult to harvest in this cold winter season.
Therefore, Qin Yue did not hesitate to praise, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "It's really amazing, such a big snow can still hunt the prey back." ”
Rao is Liang Jian, who has always been cold, and the corners of his mouth are slightly curled, several other people have seen Liang Jian's amazing archery skills, and they are full of admiration for him, although they dare not say a few words, but they also show admiration in their eyes.
Qin Yue saw that these wild antelopes all hit the vital point with one arrow, and knew that the few people who followed him were probably just following to join in the fun, but he didn't forget to encourage them.
Liang Jian kept one and put it in the ice cellar, and the other two were slaughtered and skewered on the branches of the tree to roast the flowing oil. If it weren't for the heavy snow outside, Qin Yue would have held a bonfire party to celebrate their success.
But for now, I can only give up, everyone is happy, and they have been very restrained and let go a lot, especially in front of Qin Yue, who has always been kind and pleasant.
She took a few frozen fish out and cooked a few cans of fish soup, which was so delicious that people wanted to swallow their tongues, and everyone devoured them, and their eyes lit up when they ate them.
At this time, I am also really grateful to Qin Yue and the others, as slaves, they are not qualified to eat and dress when they are in the Black Wolf Tribe.
Even the people of the Black Wolf Tribe are hungry, how can they eat enough, now they can not only sleep in the warm wooden hut and thick animal skin, but also eat delicious food, they are satisfied.
The arrival of these ten people has little impact on Qin Yue's lifestyle, but Liang Jian is going out more frequently now, after all, there is a shortage of food, so he must be fully prepared.
And they gradually got used to the life here, obeyed Liang Jianyan, and followed them wholeheartedly, this place was more than a little stronger than their previous life in their respective tribes and the life of slaves in the Black Wolf Tribe, they cherished this life very much, for fear that Qin Yue and them would be dissatisfied and drive them away.
Seeing that although he was hunting day by day, the food in the cellar was gradually decreasing, Qin Yue was worried, and his gaze fell on the lake in front of him again.
