Early in the morning, Ping Lei and the winter hunting team had already assembled. More than 20 people in the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info marched in the direction of Beichuan Mountain in the north in the wishes of the villagers.

"Hunt some snow beef and come back!"

"And the most delicious snow venison!"

"Stay safe!"

"Be safe ......"

The villagers spontaneously went to the entrance of the village to say goodbye, after all, winter hunting is still a very dangerous task, and there are often casualties. The group carried the heavy responsibility of the winter food supply for the whole village.

Bachelor Kane stood alone on crutches on the attic of the fence gate at the entrance of the village, watching Ping Lei and his party go away, and an ominous premonition inexplicably rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and meditate.

"For the sake of my many years of service to the Holy See, may the Pope bless my villagers!" the scholar prayed silently.

......

At night, the winter hunting team had already set up campfires.

Ping Lei stood alone on a boulder and looked into the distance, as if he was looking for something.

"Brother Lei, are you still looking here? I can't see clearly in the dark. Hurry up and eat some cakes made by Tenghu!" Feng You couldn't help but persuade after packing up the dry firewood and seeing that Pinglei was still standing on the stone and watching.

"Hey, in the wilderness, this little rabbit cub is coming back later and later every day!

"Okay, Brother Lei, it's been three days, you see how uncomfortable it is to be safe and follow us slowly on the first day. If you don't have to argue that you go to practice alone during the day, don't you come back every day at night, and there is no danger around, so it will be fine!" Feng You had to comfort.

"No matter! Let's go eat first! Don't leave this kid behind! Don't come back early after he is hungry!" After saying that, he walked towards the campfire with an angry face.

On the side, Feng You had to pout and follow awkwardly, he didn't believe that Ping Lei would starve his precious son.

......

"Look what good stuff I've brought back!"

Before Ping Lei could walk to the campfire, a safe and crisp voice came from afar.

After a while, I saw a small body with a naked upper body, carrying a double sword wrapped in animal skin, and a snow deer on his shoulder.

"Isn't this a snow deer, running faster than a wolf and letting your kid catch it alone?" Feng You was a little incredulous.

"Yes, today I ran to the edge of the Beichuan Mountain, and happened to see a herd of snow deer grazing, so I quietly slipped over and grabbed the opportunity to catch one!

"Hey! It's really a snow deer! I haven't eaten snow venison for almost a year, and I really want to salivate when I see it now!" Erdan was immediately excited when he saw Xuelu.

"The snow deer is difficult to catch, a few years ago in the winter hunt, we found that the snow deer herd in a large circle to outflank the two old, weak, sick and disabled snow deer. ”

The villagers who participated in the winter hunting around the bonfire also got up and gathered around to see the excitement, and they discussed it with each other.

"You kid is really talking lightly! We haven't caught the snow deer, how can it be so easy to catch as you say! Hurry up and tell the truth what's going on! Also, why did you just run to the Beichuan Mountains alone! There are snow wolves there, and they won't be easier to deal with than alien insects! It's so dangerous!" Ping Lei crossed his hands and stared at Ping An angrily and asked a series of questions.

"Why don't you believe me! I really caught the snow deer like this! I walked not far today, and I found that I could already see the Beichuan Mountain, and it was not very far away, so I ran over to take a look, and by the way, I also caught a snow deer and came back!"

Where did the people of Pinglei know Ping'an's ability in his previous life, and this kind of ability to lurk was easy for Ping'an.

"Run over and have a look? If you can see the mountains and rivers to the bottom of the mountain, you have to walk for half a day, to say the least!

"Yes! I ran very fast, and it took me half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain, and I found that there were already many people camped there. ”

"Not to mention fifty miles away! Your kid ran in half an hour, and his physical strength is really good!" Feng You couldn't help but admire.

After the blood mist continues to wash and temper the meridians, now Ping An's skeletal muscles are many times stronger than in his previous life, even if he keeps running at high speed, he can't consume any of Ping An's physical strength, and now only high-intensity and high-explosive training will make Ping An feel tired.

"Okay, everyone, don't just watch the excitement, if you want to eat snow venison and eat, hurry up!"

Now Ping Lei feels more and more unable to see through his son, there will be a little surprise every day, and Ping Lei's rapid growth makes Ping Lei feel so unreal.

......

At the campfire, father and son sit side by side roasting venison.

"Ping'an, just now you said that you have seen a lot of people camping at the foot of the mountain, how many people are there?"

"I'm afraid there won't be less than five hundred, scattered into a dozen camps, and each camped!" replied casually as Ping An bit off a piece of venison.

"There are so many people? are you not mistaken?" Ping Lei was suddenly a little surprised, there were not so many people in the winter hunt in previous years.

"Sure, I snuck to the bottom of the mountain and didn't let them find out. ”

"Yes, this year's winter hunting is waiting for your sword to set off later than in previous years, we have to hurry, we have to catch all the prey in the future, so we must not go back empty-handed." ”

"Where are all those who come to winter hunting?"

"Most of them are people from nearby villages within a radius of hundreds of miles! Usually, if it weren't for the marriage of each other, there wouldn't be much intersection between the villages. But every year, in order to survive, they will trek to the foot of the Beichuan Mountain Pass, and hunt together for the winter. ”

"If you don't hunt in winter, will you definitely starve to death?"

"Yes, many years ago, the insect tide invaded and ravaged several times, and it was difficult to find a living creature in a huge piece of land, resulting in a lack of materials in the land where we lived. The winter is unusually long and cold, but the farming time is too short, and farming alone cannot feed so many people, everything is for survival!"

"Then why don't people move to a better place to survive?"

"A better place? Most of the entire empire will not be much better than ours, only when the insect tide invades the entire Western Continent, the central empire is unable to resist, and the Holy See will send troops to exterminate the alien insects. The other half of the Western Continent is the bottom line that the Holy See adheres to without being infested by alien insects, and it is the territory of the powerful class, and the territory is hereditary. The poor will not be able to afford the taxes they have to pay to the landlord in the past, unlike us here, where a large area of territory is given to others and no one wants hereditary inheritance, all because of poverty, and only by the imperial appointing himself can he rule here. ”

"At the beginning, your mother and I just wanted to disband the mercenary group and go to a safer place to give birth to you after completing the last mercenary mission, live a good life together, and train you well, but unfortunately I messed up in the end!" Ping Lei said, tears couldn't help but flow down the corners of his vicissitudes of life.

"Father, I will make you proud of me in the future!" Ping An got up distressedly and helped his father wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and swore silently.
