"It's always my home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info has been gone for a long time, but I won't forget it. ā€

-- Allen quotes

"Alan, is my firewood chopped? My mother said that she was going to cook, and she wouldn't give you any money if it wasn't good. A little fat man of one meter three or four stood in front of the courtyard with a good-looking ice fruit stick in his hand and shouted, shouting and taking two bites, his fleshy face was red from the wind, but it did not affect his interest in eating in the slightest.

The courtyard in front of him was small, a fence of different thicknesses but the same length of firewood, and two very small civil huts were all there was to this small courtyard. There was still a lot of snow in the courtyard, and only one walkway was cleared.

"Okay, okay, you wait for me for a while, and I'll send it to your house. An answer came from a room in the courtyard, and after a while, a little boy of about the same height but lean came out of the house carrying a bag of firewood, his face was pale as that of a long-term malnourished patient, but he had a refined muscle that looked different from his age, which at first glance was the result of long labor. Simple leather boots and leather coat, with an axe pinned to his waist and a hairband tied around his head, looked like a small hunter.

The little fat man smiled at him, then took out another ice fruit stick from his pocket and handed it over, and the leather boy was not polite, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, rubbed his hands, and took it and ate it. While eating, he tightened the firewood bag on his back, and without delay, he followed the little fat man into the wind and snow.

This is Mir Village, one of the few human villages in this ice and snow world north of the Ditan Continent, and the vast majority of the Ditan Continent does not belong to the human realm, because most of the areas here are covered with snow all year round, except for the pines and cypresses, and the unique thousand needle trees, there is no other green. The perennial cold is not suitable for human survival, and only the ice giants and snow beasts who are not afraid of the cold will enjoy the environment here. The village is not big, with a few dozen people, but it has been around for a long, long time. The reason why they can survive here is said to be because there are people in the village who can communicate with the snow giants, so they can be blessed by the giants as long as they donate a part of their rations every year, without worrying about the invasion of snow beasts. Of course, these are all legends, because there are very few people who have been here, and few outsiders can witness the true face of the ice giant, and no one really sees anyone in the village who is really standing in front of the ice giant and is not hammered.

"Ade, are you getting fat again, how do I feel that your clothes are also small? Listen to me, you can't eat anymore, and your mother will ban you from eating if you get fat. Alan nibbled on the ice fruit stick with one hand, and pulled the oiled paper covering the firewood tightly with the other, and there was an air conditioner on his mouth.

"Don't say it, my mother has already started fasting on me, and I hid this ice fruit myself. I'll go to my house later, don't let me say it. The fat man sighed helplessly, looking like a young man, but he didn't disrupt the rhythm of eating ice fruits.

The two figures advanced in the wind and snow, and the houses on both sides were covered with thick snow, but it did not affect the wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys on the houses. After walking through about five or six households, I came to a larger yard, the same wooden house, the same firewood fence, but this one obviously had to be more elaborate.

The little fat man quickly finished nibbling the ice fruit in his hand in front of the door, and after watching Alan finish eating, he wiped his mouth and shouted "I'm back", and entered the door. It was obviously not the first time that Alan had come, and after putting the firewood in the firewood room, he followed the fat man into the main house.

The furnishings of the room were simple, a round table, a wooden table, a hanging snow hide, and a mess of Orion equipment, and nothing else.

Alan sat at the round table and chatted with the little fat man, and after a while, he saw a fat woman walk in.

"Huad, you steal food again, don't you want to be good, you are fat like this and still eat, and you have a virtue with your father. The woman looked at the little fat man and began to start a fire, and began to twist and writh by his ears, and counted them as she twisted them.

"I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it, mother, you can't lie to me. The little fat man seemed to be in pain, and he tried to knock off his mother's hand while denying it.

"You still say that you haven't eaten it secretly, and you dare to deny it if you can't wipe your mouth clean?" said and wiped the side of the little fat man's mouth with his fingers, and the red juice was still printed on it. Looking at the evidence, the little fat man couldn't deny it, so he had to flatten his mouth and argue that he was really hungry.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Alan on the side was a little envious, he was very envious of such a warm mother-son relationship, but he had never enjoyed such treatment.

The little fat man's mother seemed to sense Allen's emotions, so she let go of the fat man and diverted the topic. "Alan is also here, I'll eat at my aunt's house today, talk to Xiaode first, your Uncle Hu just hit a snow rabbit, and Auntie stewed it for you. After speaking, he didn't wait for Alan to refuse, glared at the little fat man and turned around and went to the kitchen, leaving Ade and Alan to look at each other stupidly.

The little fat man twisted his ears and complained that Alan hadn't wiped his mouth clean before he didn't tell him, and Alan seemed to be lost in thought because of the picture just now.

He had lived here for as long as he could remember, and the village chief told him that he was not from Mir, but had appeared here after a blizzard eight years ago. As for the way it appeared, it was even more bizarre, the blizzard was very big, but after the snow stopped, it was rare to see sunshine. When they went out to clean, they found him still a baby, wrapped in animal skins, lying on the snow in the middle of the road at the entrance of the village, sleeping peacefully, and the surroundings were empty, and there were no footprints on the snow, let alone where he came from. The whole village felt that he was very pitiful, so they decided to raise him together, so they supported him to this day.

Alan is grateful to everyone in this village, because without them there would be no self. But he didn't want to be a burden to the village, so when he had the ability, he would make some returns, from the first time to collect firewood in the woods to the current chopping firewood for each family. It's also amazing to say, his strength seems to be much greater than that of a normal child, and it seems effortless to do these manual tasks at this age.

As for his name, he was given by the village chief, but the village chief said that it was engraved on a small iron piece hanging on his body when he came. That piece of iron Alan is also hanging on his body now, but there are only some complicated and crooked lines on it, where can I see the word Alan. When I asked the village chief, the village chief didn't say anything, so he said that after the iron piece was put away, he would be called Allen.

Alan loves Mill Village, and although he doesn't know where he came from, it's now his home. He likes to go to the woods to catch snow rabbits, follow the adults to hunt snow pigs, and of course he wants to see what the ice giants are like, but unfortunately it has not yet been realized. He had seen the strength of the best hunter in the village, and the wisdom and insight of the village chief, as well as the brutality of the snow beasts, and witnessed the extremely tragic hunting process. It was important for him to find out his background, but the greatest thing was to protect the village, "When I grow up, I must become very powerful, go to the northernmost place to see how tall the ice giant is, if I can defeat him, I will definitely become a very powerful person." Alan secretly made up his mind while thinking about it, but what he didn't know was that he would be the tallest existence on this continent in the future.
