Chapter 4 There will be wild beasts eating people today

Yu looked at his adoptive father's eyes and said, "Everyone is having a hard time now, but even if this is the case, you can't just see death and not save it, right?"

"Hmph!" Tian Kun sneered, "You are above board, we are all insidious villains!"

"That's not what I meant. Yu didn't want to argue with his father.

"Everyone is dead, what's the use of arguing about this?" Tian said, "Yu'er, now is not as good as in the past, everyone is precarious, after eating the last meal, you Aunt Tian's death, you can't blame anyone, if you want to blame, blame God!"

Yu stopped talking, his arm was sore and itchy, and he was even more depressed, so he sat for a while and simply fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the two sons had already fallen asleep, and Tian Kun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Hmph, I don't have any ability, and I still want to care about the life and death of others, and I don't want to think about whose food I eat!"

Tian was taken aback: "How can you say that about Yu'er, if it weren't for this family, he wouldn't have become like this!"

Tian Kun said: "If it weren't for this family, he would have died a long time ago, besides, what kind of effort did he do to this family?

Tian Zhengse said: "Brother Jiu, when our couple was middle-aged and childless, we were blessed by our ancestors and picked up Yu'er at sea, and at that time we swore to our ancestors that we would treat him as our own son." Although Zheng'er was born later, we can't say that there is no partiality, but Yu'er is very sensible, and treats Zheng'er as his own brother, and takes care of him in every way, and is also very filial to us, without half a word of complaint, you come to dislike him now, he is lonely, where can you tell him to go, don't you feel uneasy about your conscience?"

"Conscience?" Tian Kun smiled bitterly, "I see clearly now, is conscience important or alive, you tell me?"

Tian was speechless for a while.

"Actually, I don't need you to say it, if conscience is more important, then Tian Chang's family will not die!" Tian Kun stared at the flickering flames and said coldly.

The two of them only cared about talking, and did not pay attention to Yu, who was sleeping sideways with his back to them, and a line of tears flowed from the corners of Yu's closed eyes.

After half a month, almost all the boats that went to sea found nothing, and some people even said that they met Tian Changshou and his son, who had been missing for almost three months, on the beach, and rumors spread for a while, everyone said that there were ghosts of Tian Changshou and his son in the sea, so that everyone could not catch fish, so that the original frustration added a fear. Almost no ships dared to go to sea anymore. The whole tribe was shrouded in despair and pessimism.

Fortunately, although the sea is merciless, someone caught a snow rabbit in the nearby snowy mountains. The snow rabbit is a kind of rabbit that lives in the snowy mountains, the whole body is snow-white, the meat is fat and tender, but this kind of rabbit is very smart, and it is like flying on the snow, and ordinary people can't catch up at all, so it is difficult to catch.

When the news of the first person catching the snow rabbit came, people didn't react much, thinking that it was just luck, but when the second person who entered the mountain also caught the snow rabbit, people began to get restless.

According to the person who caught the snow hare, there seems to be some powerful beast in the snowy mountain, causing many snow hare to be injured and slow to move, and it is easy to catch.

But this statement is quite suspicious, first of all, the beast is faster than humans, since it can hurt the snow hare, it is impossible not to kill, let the snow hare that is slow to move after being injured and leave it to humans to hunt, what beast will be so kind?

However, even if there are many doubts, at the moment when food is quite scarce, people can't care so much, so people continue to go into the mountains to catch snow rabbits in twos and threes, although not everyone has gained, but the successful example has inspired more people to go to the snow mountain.

This afternoon, Tian Ying'er went out with a piece of fish secretly taken out of the house, she seemed very careful, if she was seen by the medicine department, she had to scold her, in this era of food shortage, this kind of eating inside and outside is very taboo. She walked straight to an igloo and knocked on the door, and it was Tian who opened the door.

"Tian Ying'er is here. Tian said happily. Since Yu was injured, Tian Ying'er has been running here, making this home that has become a little indifferent recently a little warmer.

"What about Yu?" Tian Ying'er couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw that there were only Tian's mother and son in the house.

"He, he went into the mountains with his father. Tian said.

"He also went?" Tian Ying'er was a little surprised, "Isn't his hand still good?"

"Isn't there no way?" Tian sighed, "Yu used to run in the mountains when he was a child, and he was more familiar with the snow-capped mountains, and he heard that there were wild beasts in the mountains, so he followed him to take care of his father. ”

"That's right. ”

"My father said that even if you have a broken hand, you have to do something, otherwise it will be a burden to everyone. Tian Zheng shouted casually.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Tian hurriedly scolded.

"Then I'll go first, Aunt Tian. Tian Ying'er said a little unhappily.

"Won't you sit down for a while?" Tian said.

"Nope. Tian Ying'er left the house, and even forgot to hand over the fish and meat stolen in her arms to Tian. When she remembered that she wanted to turn back, a person suddenly appeared from the side of the road, and this person was Tian Zongren.

"What are you doing here?" Tian Ying'er said with a cold face, "You can't be following me, right?"

The embarrassment on Tian Zongren's face flashed, and he said with a smile: "Look at what you said, I just happened to pass by, and I wanted to say that you were following me!"

Tian Ying'er said, "Am I crazy?" After that, he ignored him and walked towards Tian's house.

Tian Zongren followed and said, "I saw that you came out not long after you went in just now, why did you run back again?"

"What's your business!"

"That kid isn't home, is he?"

"I'm not here for him. ”

"Really?" Tian Zongren smiled slightly, "I heard that there will be wild beasts eating people in the snowy mountains today." ”

Tian Ying'er stopped and glared at him: "Who did you listen to?"

"Did that kid go into the mountains with his father?" asked Tian Zongren.

"So what?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a sentence, and I don't know whether to say it or not. "Tian Zongren sold Guanzi.

"If there's a fart, let it go!" Tian Ying'er was very polite.

"You have to beg me, I'll say. Tian Zongren said with a smile.

"Dream!" Tian Ying'er was about to leave without looking back.

Tian Zongren hurriedly said: "Do you think that the broken hand is just the hand?"

Tian Ying'er turned around: "What did you say?"

"The world is different, Tian Ying'er. Tian Zongren showed an unfathomable expression, "Manpower can't win the sky after all, and no one is an exception." ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about, your mind isn't clear, I'm not going to tell you. Tian Ying'er no longer ignored him and walked straight towards Tian's house, but for some reason, the closer she got to Tian's house, her mood became heavier and heavier.

Tian Zongren's sentence "There will be wild beasts eating people today" has been echoing in her mind, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.

In the evening, the sky suddenly snowed heavily, and the people who went into the mountains to hunt returned to the tribe one after another, and today's harvest is still very small.

Tian Ying'er was boiling water in the house uneasily, her mind was full of what Tian Zongren had said during the day, and suddenly the door opened, and Yao Si shook the snow on his body and walked in.

"Yu gave the beast food!" said Yakuji in a solemn tone.

With a "bell", the kettle in Tian Ying'er's hand fell heavily to the ground.

After dawn, the wind and snow finally stopped, and the whole tribe was almost buried by the snow, and under the gloomy sky, this small fishing village by the sea seemed to be dull, and there was no figure to be seen on the road, and the tribe was quiet, as if it was still asleep, and only the smoke from the chimneys of one or two rooms still showed a little vitality.

The people of Osawa have always been late risers, and this is especially true today.

Because of the news that spread yesterday, the whole tribe was talking and in high spirits, and many people didn't go to bed until late.

In order to appease his daughter, the medicine department spent a lot of energy, and spent a lot of tongue, Tian Ying'er still burst into tears, and when she was persuaded to go to bed, it was already early in the morning, the medicine department looked at the sleeping daughter, shook his head and sighed, Yu's death made him feel pity, and his daughter's sadness made him feel even more pitiful, but the matter had come to this, and he couldn't do anything.

"On a day like this, let's count it as a day. The medicine secretary sighed like this, and then went back to sleep.

After dawn, Yao Si was still asleep, but Tian Ying'er woke up early, she had a nightmare, dreaming that Yu was bitten by a saber-toothed tiger on the neck, before dying, Yu was still smiling at her, she wanted to save him, but was pulled by Tian Zongren.

"I told you that there will be wild beasts eating people today. Tian Zongren pointed at Yu and said proudly.

When she heard this, she slammed it hard, and she sat up from the bed, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the fire in the room had been extinguished, and only some embers were still flashing red.

The scene in the dream is still vivid, she can't help but feel a heartache when she thinks that Yu is really dead, but the scene in the dream reminds her of a problem, last night she just cried and forgot to think about this problem, but now she thought about it, so she quickly put on her clothes and boots, and went out.

The snow on the road was very deep, and when she stepped on it, it almost didn't reach her knees, and it was very difficult to pull her feet, although her speed was not fast, but she walked very hard, her hands and face were frozen red, but she seemed to be unconscious, her boots were soaked with snow, her toes were almost numb, and she still didn't slow down.

She stopped in front of an igloo, which was a bit of a stranger in that it was larger and had a fence that enclosed a courtyard.

She pushed open the courtyard door, walked over to the igloo, and knocked the door.

"Who, my father isn't here!" said an impatient voice in the room, still sleepy.

"It's me. Tian Ying'er said.
