After a while, everyone could see the inside of the cave by the light of the fire.

This hole is only half a room deep, a room wide, the top of the cave is not like the circle of the kiln, but the flat top, the hole is a relatively smooth earthen wall, the wall has brown moss, touch a little tide with your hand, the strange thing is that the flat top of the soil hole has not burned hard after so many years, but it does not collapse, it is a miracle.

It seems that this was cultivated by the ancients in the past, and it is not clear what it is for. Seeing that this place could be used as a place to spend the night, the father hurriedly divided the work among everyone, he was responsible for cleaning up the cave, and lighting the fire to ward off the cold and cooking, the eldest son was responsible for chopping wood, the third son was responsible for carrying firewood and picking firewood, and the dogs and little wolves were responsible for standing guard nearby.

As soon as the father's words were finished, the two sons each took the good hand and set off. They cut firewood nearby, first picked up a few dry firewood, and then began to chop wet firewood, and also considered cutting some big trees as a door to the stone cave, without which it is not possible to spend the night at night.

Father's arrangement today is very simple, no longer thinking about hunting or finding some wild vegetables to eat, one to find a place to spend the night delayed some time, two to bring food on his body, today can be the first to respond to the emergency, three to when everyone is busy, you can call two dogs and a little wolf to catch a few small animals nearby to eat, do not delay things.

When it was dark, the firewood was ready, and half of the hole was piled up, and the door of the cave was made of two big trees that had been crushed by the snow a few days ago, first they cut two pieces with axes on the big tree, and secondly, they left an eye in each of the upper and lower middle three places, which were used for running smoke, inlet the wind, and looking, and the stump of the big tree was three or five hundred pounds, and it was impossible for ordinary animals to move it.

The dogs of the hunt, the wolf cubs, and the dogs in charge of the guard worked together to catch a jackal black bear, a snow hare, and a pyridine beast that were hanging around nearby, enough for everyone to eat for two meals.

I didn't plan to hunt, I didn't expect the harvest to be so big, mainly because the animals here have never seen people and dogs, and they don't run when they see it, thinking it's a fun animal.

My father also found a large handful of Lei Gong feces on the grass outside the cave, which was a good thing to eat after washing it.

The hole was already steaming, the moisture on the walls was fading out, it didn't feel so cold to the touch, and the pot was tumbling with pieces of meat and bud paste. After the three of them took turns to have a quick dinner, it was time to arrange the matter of standing guard for the night.

Needless to say, tonight we can only stand guard in a ratio of two to one, changing one person every half an hour, the eldest son and the second son stand on the first shift, and the father sleeps and rests first.

The dogs and wolf cubs slept half-closed, half-squinted in the cave by the doorway, accompanying their new owners on their first hunt, but they were now able to rest while listening to the movements around them with their ears open.

The night in the mountains on a snowy winter day is quiet, and only occasionally you can hear the sound of dead branches falling to the ground.

Originally, the night was a good time for the animals to come out to forage for food, but after the snow, the animals' habits changed, and the animals that were able to move around simply came out during the day to find something to eat.

In the past, animals came out at night mainly to cover their whereabouts and avoid predators, but the rustling sound made by stepping on dead branches and leaves is not small, and the danger still exists.

Now the animals do not have to worry about stepping on the branches to make dangerous noises, the sound of walking on the snow is much smaller, and at the same time, some animals are inconvenient to walk after snowfall, which also limits the speed of running, the range of activity and interest.

This way, it's safer during the day than at night. Another benefit of the snow is that small animals such as the Flying Squirrel that likes to eat dried fruits no longer have to hide behind trees or leaves to secretly pick fruits and eat them.

In winter, the leaves are basically dropped, and the sight is very good, and when other animals approach, they must be large animals, and large animals will make a loud noise when they step on the snow, and if they are other small animals, they are definitely not natural enemies.

If the big animal approaches from the ground, but from the air, it will definitely climb the branches, so that when climbing and bending the branches, the snow on the branches will fall, and it will also make a rustling sound, which is undoubtedly an alarm sound for rats, so the animals like to come out during the day after the snow.

Because of this, the night after the snow seems to be extraordinarily quiet, a little unbelievably quiet, so quiet that people are at a loss, they don't know what to do, and they feel that what they do will destroy this quiet.

The other side of silence is the invisible pressure and great fear that silence brings, which makes people crazy and uncomfortable.

The floor of the cave was covered with a layer of dry leaves and dead grass, and the quilt was spread on top of the leaves and dry grass, which looked a little uneven. The father lay in the middle, covered with a quilt, and slept soundly, the old man was slowly getting older, and he could not withstand this bump.

The eldest son and the second son sat beside their father, and put the steel drill into the fire to burn, one with a killing knife in hand, and the other with an axe, while talking with a pair of people, while looking at each other's backs vigilantly, although behind the other was a gray and black earthen wall, and at the same time with the eyes of the hole where two large tree stumps were piled up, as if to prevent animals from appearing around at any time, and from time to time they listened to the movement outside the cave.

The fire on the side was burning strongly, and the cave was warm, but they still felt a compelling cold, and with the sound of the sound outside the cave lingering around the cave, it was a feeling that had not been felt for a long time, and it was impossible to say whether it was true or not.

The eldest son couldn't sit still, so he simply stood up, took the red-hot steel drill, and looked out of the cave from the lookout, but he couldn't see anything outside, only a faint gray-white snow.

The eldest son instinctively seemed to see the red line formed outside the cave after the light from the cave shining through the lookout, and he could sense that the other animals must be interested in this red line on a snowy night, but he couldn't decide what it was.

When he was suspicious, his father got up from the quilt and asked if it was his turn to stand guard.

The second son hurriedly said no, it's still early.

In fact, he wanted his father to sleep a little longer, but he couldn't figure it out if it was time, so he said it casually.

The father said that he couldn't sleep either, so he would talk to the children. But after talking about it, everyone didn't have much to say.

They don't need to say anything more between them, just a few people, just a few people, just work according to their father's arrangement, and they don't need to think about any problems, just protect the safety of the family.

The eldest son told his father how he felt, and his father said that he felt it too, and it was estimated that he couldn't sleep because of this, but look at the dog and the little wolf sleeping next to him, they slept peacefully, and they didn't look like they were in any danger.

Everyone was completely convinced of the feelings of these two special family members, but strangely enough, all three of them had some indescribable feelings of irritability and fear.
