The cliff up to a thousand meters, which is dotted with dotted dwarf trees, swaying tenaciously in the wind, the top of the cliff is flat and open, this is an artificially built platform, a small figure in the afterglow of the setting sun, lazily sitting on the edge of the cliff, two legs are very bold hanging on the edge of the cliff, shaking unconsciously, it seems particularly lonely.

This is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, with faint broad eyebrows, a pair of slender eyes, he seems to habitually squint, always gives people a feeling of not waking up, the outline of the face is very clear, as if the knife is sharpening the axe, revealing a resolute taste, because he is not yet an adult, a little green, but when you look closely at his eyes, you will notice a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes.

"This world is so fucking perverted! Even the time is different, I don't know how long the fucking time has passed...... Three years, or four years? There are only two seasons in this place, and the warm season ...... Cold Season ...... Alas...... Can't go back......"

The young man sighed, hammered the ground hard, looked at a fist mark on the cyan rock, he showed a smile again, he had almost nothing to be satisfied with in this world, except for the amount of power, this bird place, there is no entertainment, every day to consider in addition to eating, or eating, looking for everything that can fill the stomach, is the meaning of living in this world.

A sharp whistle sounded, the young man jumped up violently, and ran along the top of the cliff, the speed was extremely fast, and in a moment he came to the corner of the cliff, where there was a stone fort, and it was a stone fort protruding seven or eight meters from the cliff, and two big men stood in the small stone fort.

This stone fort is very small, narrow and long, protruding from the cliff wall, the upper part is the top of the fort built of logs, there is a large hole three meters long and two meters wide on the ground, you can clearly see the bottom of the cliff wall, a metal shelf is set up at the entrance of the hole, and a huge wheel is installed on it.

A bearded man saw the young man come in and said, "Ah Feng, the hunting team is back, your eyes are good, see if there is any situation." ”

The young man nodded, he stretched out his hand to hold the wheel, leaned over to look down, only to see a few small black dots below, his eyes flickered suddenly, and a faint silver glow appeared, and the young man said happily: "It's Uncle Ke and they are back...... Put the basket down!"

The bearded man reached out and grabbed an iron ring, and with a hard pull, a huge hanging basket was released and appeared in the hole below, and the two big men began to shake the wheel and put the hanging basket down.

The hanging basket is three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter five deep, a rectangular basket, specially used to pick up and drop off personnel and materials, is one of the portals in and out of Tiger Cliff Fort, Tiger Cliff Fort has a total of two roads leading to the outside, one is here, and one is the tunnel of the back fort, however, that road is more difficult to walk, so the people in the fort are all in and out with hanging baskets.

Soon the hanging basket was lifted up, and there were two big men sitting in the hanging basket, and a lot of prey, the young man glanced at it and said, "Why are they all small prey, Uncle Ke, are there no big guys?"

Most of the hanging baskets were hares, pheasants, ducks, and a few rare sheep.

The so-called Zhen sheep is a special product here, a very small kind of wild sheep, likes to eat all kinds of spiritual grass, its meat is delicious, it is one of the best delicacy here, but this thing is too small, there is not much meat, a Zhen sheep, at most about 20 catties of meat, that is, a little more meat than pheasants and hares.

Uncle Ke smiled: "Ah Feng, I didn't hunt much this time, hehe, but ...... We killed a bucktooth wild boar, weighing hundreds of pounds, and the harvest is good, Ah Feng, go back to my house and carry a pig's leg, hehe. ”

Ah Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll send my uncle home." ”

Most of the people living in Tiger Cliff Fort are hunters, and their families generally grow some grains and potato nuggets in the valley, generally men do not farm, men must go out to hunt, the population of Tiger Cliff Fort is very small, only more than 1,000 people, nearly 200 households, the young Ah Feng is also one of them, there is a grandfather at home, a young sister, and his parents left before he occupied the young man's body, and he didn't know where Lu Dao went.

The past few years have been quite difficult, when I first woke up, the little sister was only three years old, completely dependent on the young A Feng to raise, grandpa is old and frail, has been unable to hunt, at the beginning A Feng relied on the collection of wild fruits, plus some hunters to see the grandfather's family of three is really sad, from time to time to send some prey, only to live hard to this day, the people here are very simple, neighbors, help each other, if you can't help each other here, it is difficult to survive at all.

However, in this year's warm season, the young Ah Feng has to prepare his own food for the cold season, which is a difficult task for him, he not only has to support himself, but also has to feed his grandfather and little sister.

Uncle Ke went down again, this time the hanging basket brought a bucktooth wild boar with more than 500 catties, the meat of this wild boar is not delicious, the meat is rough, there is no certain cooking means, this meat is not delicious, of course, the young Ah Feng doesn't care, it's good to eat, since he arrived here, he rarely feels that he has eaten enough, and the amount of food is so large that he is extremely helpless, he can't figure it out, why can he eat so much?

A few hunters and Ah Feng smiled and carried the prey along the road to the inner fort.

Tiger Cliff Fort is steep, surrounded by cliffs, the depression in the middle is two kilometers square, so there is a piece of land that can be planted, and the people of Tiger Cliff Fort live in the cave under the inner ring cliff, each household occupies a cave, there are natural and artificially excavated caves, and the extended hut is built with logs, in the warm season, you can live in the wooden house, once it is in the cold season, you must enter the cave for winter.

The terrain of the entire Tiger Cliff Fort is like a flat bowl, and the inhabitants live in the bowl, and the outer wall of the bowl is the cliff, which is a natural large defensive fortress.

So the people came down from the cliff and soon came to the settlement.

......

Ah Feng held a wild boar's front leg in one hand and two pheasants in the other, and walked quickly towards his home.

Soon came to a house with a wooden fence, which was a small courtyard with a small yard, a hut built on the edge of the cliff, a little girl saw Ah Feng come back, and said happily: "Brother, brother, brother......" shouted and ran over.

The weather has begun to get a little cooler, the little girl put on a short fur jacket, the long hair dances with the run, like a small hairball rolling over, Ah Feng smiled: "Don't run...... Slow down, slow down......" he crouched down, unable to hold something in both hands.

The little girl rushed into Ah Feng's arms, reached out to hug his neck, Ah Feng stood up, and the little girl hung on him, giggling and saying, "Brother, whose meat did you take......

Ah Feng gently touched the little girl's forehead with his forehead, and said dotingly: "It's the prey from Uncle Ke, is Grandpa okay?"

The little girl smiled and said, "Grandpa boiled salt, and he just came back." ”

Tiger Cliff Fort has a characteristic product, that is, salt, there is an underground salt brine mine, salt brine can be extracted from the ground, after boiling, boiled out of salt, the quantity is not much, but it is enough for the residents of Tiger Cliff Fort to live, which is also the artificial life of Tiger Cliff Fort What can go deep into the mountains to live, with salt brine ore, is a big reason.

Most of the salt boiling is done by the elderly or women, basically enough to eat, it is difficult to communicate with the outside world here, it is a self-sufficient model, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything has to be solved by himself, which makes Ah Feng very unaccustomed, but fortunately, after a few years of suffering, he has gradually integrated into it.

The little girl hung on Ah Feng's neck, and the two walked into the hut laughing, Ah Feng said loudly: "Grandpa, I'm back, look! This is the front leg of a bucktooth wild boar given by Uncle Ke, which weighs about thirty pounds, enough for us to eat for a few days." ”

This is an old man in his last years, sitting on a low wooden pier, with a leather pocket in his hand, he saw the two of them come in, his eyes flowed with a hint of joy, and he coughed and said, "Okay, Ah Feng rest for a while, tired." ”

The little girl slid down from Ah Feng, ran to the old man's side, squatted down with the old man's arm, and said happily: "Grandpa, Aunt Qing sent a piece of wild cow plate skin, I received it to the cave, it's a big piece, my brother's armor is just a piece of plate skin, or a few days, the leather armor will be completed, hehe, grandpa, I can do it!" She had an expression of you praising me, which made Ah Feng couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe, my little sister is really capable!"

Ah Feng praised first.

The old man gently touched the little girl's head, nodded and said, "Yes, our Yaoyao is the most capable!"

The little girl immediately smiled.

The so-called leather armor is every hunter needs protective equipment, the leather armor here has a special shape, completely handmade from various animal skins, and the hard leather armor lined is made of locally produced wild cowhide.

The handiwork of leather armor is extremely complex, there are dozens of procedures, as early as two years ago, grandpa began to make, a large part of which are the handwriting of the little girl, the grandfather and grandson work together, until recently, it is almost completed, because there has been a lack of a piece of brute cow hard skin, so it has not been completed.

This set of leather armor is specially prepared for Ah Feng to go hunting, the hunters of Tiger Cliff Fort, everyone must make a set of leather armor by their family before going out to hunt, this is the custom here, once the leather armor is put on, it means that Ah Feng can officially go out to hunt.

There are three kinds of leather used in leather armor, the innermost layer is a special soft leather, there are countless soybean-sized bubbles inside this skin, not only soft and abnormal, but also excellent cold-proof effect, the middle layer is the hard skin of the wild cow, and the outer layer is a kind of fierce animal skin called long-haired wild hair, long-haired wild hair has more than a foot of hair, after tanning, has a very strong toughness, when making leather armor, the long hair on the leather is woven together to form a pattern, and then smeared with a kind of animal fat to set it, not only to keep warm, but also to have a very good protective power。
