Early in the morning, I woke up from the cold fire, and although I was still covered with the quilt, I couldn't help but shiver, feeling like I had fallen into an ice cellar.

He opened his sleepy eyes, went bare-chested to the rough wooden cabinet to find last year's leather coat, hurriedly put it on, felt a little warmer, and then walked out of the house.

The heavens and the earth were overcast, and heavy dark clouds obscured everything. There is no morning sun, no blue sky, only the bitter cold wind roaring wantonly between heaven and earth.

The wind, sweeping through the fallen leaves, rolled them up and down mercilessly, like a naughty boy messing around. The fierce stream ripples in the wind. The wind blew, and it was bone-chilling, as if the sky had suddenly transitioned from a pleasant late autumn to a bitter winter.

Leng Huo looked around for a while, and found that Tie Feng and Cang Ye were not far from the door of the house, and he hurriedly walked over, ready to ask what was going on.

Suddenly, several crystal clear snowflakes fell aimlessly from the sky, leaving Leng Huo unable to move. Cangye reached out to catch a few snowflakes, and let these snow-white six elves slowly melt in the palm of his hand. His face was unsightly and abnormal, as if he had been bitten hard by a saber-toothed tiger.

Next to the night, Tie Feng's white hair was messed up by the wind, curling like a weed, standing upright. His expression was grim, and he no longer had the nonchalant smile that had been hanging on his face. However, Tie Feng still stood straight, like the Dragon's Back Mountain Range that never bent over.

Somehow, Leng Huo saw this scene behind him and felt that his eyes were a little sour.

The snow was falling in a hurry, and in a short time the ground was covered with a light layer of white. Suddenly, several people in the tribe shouted in unison, "The spear-bearer immediately goes to the ancestral hall to collect the rattan armor, and then lines up at the exit and brings three days' worth of dry food himself." ”

Tie Feng smiled when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is the rhythm of a big fight, it seems that the clan elders of the ancestral hall can react quickly enough." ”

Cangye was silent, and immediately turned around and strode into the house. When passing by Leng Huo's side, Cang Ye opened his mouth, as if he had endless words to tell, but in the end, he just touched Leng Huo's head and said in a low voice: "Leng Huo, you are already a man, take care of your grandma." ”

Leng Huo smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, whoever dares to touch a finger of grandma, I will chop off his head." ”

Seeing that Cangye entered the house, Leng Huo hurriedly took two steps forward, tugged at Tie Feng's sleeve, and begged with a smile: "Grandpa, are you also going hunting?"

"Smack!" Leng Huo slapped again on the head.

"Stinky boy, do you think those beasts are vegetarians? You honestly guard at home, and you are not allowed to do too much, you know?" Tie Feng looked fierce, but he loved this grandson in his heart very much, and it could almost be said that he was afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of being frightened when he held it in his hand.

However, he is a rude man who will only express his feelings with slaps and sticks. At this point, Tie Feng and Cangye can be said to be in the same vein.

Leng Huo frowned sadly, and said in a low voice: "I'm about to become an adult, why do you always treat me as a child." ”

Tie Feng didn't say anything more, patted Leng Huo's back, and walked into the wooden house.

The whole tribe was in an uproar, and the hunters ran to and fro, clad in armor and spears, and stood in formation like a tide. Then the hanging door was raised, and the hunters hurried away. The nervous look seemed to be a beast chasing them.

Leng Huo stood for a long time before he turned around, but saw his grandmother holding on to the door frame, staggering, and her eyes were full of sadness as she watched the hunter go away.

Seeing Leng Huo looking back, Leng Huo's grandmother immediately smiled, "Yan'er, the meal is ready, come and eat." Leng Huo nodded hurriedly.

As usual, Grandma Leng Huo still gave most of her share of rations to Leng Huo. After Leng Huo finished eating, he wiped his mouth and shouted, "Grandma, I'm going to play in the stone field." ”

"Well, go ahead, don't hurt yourself. ”

The quarry is on the left side of the valley, deep in the valley, where a stone called lapis lazuli is abundant. Lapis lazuli is exceptionally strong and has a very beautiful texture, and it has a good market in Tianci City after being ground into various birds and beasts. Of course, most of these jobs were done by the clansmen when they had nothing to do after the heavy snow closed the mountains.

There are also some finely polished stones in the stone yard to pass away some excess energy of the children. Of course, it's a joke, but the kids come here mainly to get some exercise. Without a healthy body, you cannot be called a qualified hunter.

Leng Huo held a stone stone of more than 40 catties, throwing it up and down, a little absent-minded. He was thinking about the strange behavior of Tie Feng and Cangye this morning, but he still had no clue.

In the stone field, children of seven or eight years old and teenagers played in the snow, giggling and playing with each other. Leng Huo put down the stone stone, stood aside, and sighed, quite lonely.

After watching it for a while, Leng Huo felt very bored, so he returned home on his own. In the evening, the snow did not stop, and the cold wind intensified.

Leng Huo couldn't help but be a little worried, his parents and grandfather who were hunting in the wild didn't know if there was a place to hide from the cold winter? For the next three days, the snow fluctuated but never stopped, and the snow on the ground was already more than two feet thick.

During these three days, Leng Huo rarely went out, and most of the time he stayed at home with his grandmother. He felt that his grandmother had treated him more gently in the past three days. Hush Han asked Nuan not to say, but also talked to Leng Huo about what happened when she was a child. For those things that are long ago, Leng Huo is a little impatient to listen. Grandma Lenghuo quickly noticed this and stopped talking about the past.

And in the past three days, Leng Huo seemed to find that his grandmother was thinner than usual, as if a gust of wind could blow her away, and Leng Huo was a little worried.

If nothing happens, this evening is the day when the adults return from hunting. In order to see Tie Feng earlier, Leng Huo walked to the gate early and waited. There were many people who thought the same way as him, and the half-sized children lived in thick leather clothes to resist the erosion of the bitter cold.

People breathed softly in the palms of their hands, and the whole valley was quiet, only the sound of snowflakes falling.

Suddenly, a crunching sound came from outside. It was the sound of someone walking on snow. Waiting for the boy to make a slight commotion.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore and screamed out out of frustration, "Dad, Mom, are you back?"

It's a hilarious question, but no one can laugh at it.

The hunters walked in silence from the stream, they didn't use the buried pillars, because they were unnecessary. In just three days, the stream has been completely frozen. They stepped on the ice under the snow and walked into the valley.

After entering the valley, the hunters silently threw their prey on the ground.

After that, there was an embarrassing silence.

The hunters went out with five hundred and twenty men, but this time only four hundred and eighty returned.
