Deep in the Northern Wilderness, in a valley, there are all kinds of simple huts made of wood and thatch, and under the cover of snow, it is difficult to see that there is a large village here.

As the first rays of sunlight fell in the morning, the first wisps of cooking smoke rose from the originally lifeless thatched huts, followed by the second and third wisps .......

The women make fires, and the men skillfully disembowel the prey they have caught yesterday, and everyone does their part.

After a beautiful breakfast, it's time to go on to hunt for the day.

Winter is coming, so you have to get enough food ready before it comes.

Everything went according to the usual rules of life.

Among the various grass huts, there is a building that is different from the others.

It is a wooden three-story building on stilts, with more than 10 rooms on each floor. Although it is only made of simple wood, it is particularly eye-catching in the valley full of low thatched huts.

In the courtyard of the stilted building, men and women were quietly preparing breakfast for the tribal leaders and elders, not daring to disturb the dormancy of the big people.

A man's angry roar broke the silence in the courtyard.

"What did you say?"

"Jiu'er went to the Savage Valley and didn't return last night?"

The person who spoke out was none other than Wei Xu, the leader of the winning department.

"I didn't return overnight, why did I report it now?"

"Yesterday you went out hunting together, and I didn't know if my Jiu'er was lost?"

"What are you still doing?"

"Immediately send an order down and send a ranger to search for my Jiu'er!"

"If she has three longs and two shorts, then the people you traveled with yesterday will no longer have to suffer from the wind and cold, and send you to the ground to warm up!"

In the Savage Valley, the white horse walked happily behind a little russet mare horse, sometimes running to the little mare horse, sometimes running in front of him, and his eyes were completely fixed on the little mare, so that one moment the horse's hooves kicked the raised stones on the side of the road, and the next moment his head hit the trees on both sides, and the thick snow fell on the horse's back.

The little mare carried a dead deer on its back, and the burden on its back made it difficult for it to walk, so naturally it had no leisure to take care of the attentive white horse.

A woman and a man followed in the footsteps of the horses, one after the other.

From time to time, the woman looked back at the man behind her angrily.

The man ignored the woman's dislike, and just walked unhurriedly behind him with a dead face.

These two people are naturally Han Shi and Wei Peijiu, a young girl.

The forests of the northern wilderness are not as green and full of life as the forests in the south, even if the sun rises in the east and everything wakes up in the early morning, it is still quiet.

The two of them didn't say a word all the way, except for the crunch of their feet on the snow.

Han Shi, who has only been accompanied by a little white horse for the past four or five days, is enjoying this quiet time very much at the moment.

So even if the woman didn't want to pay attention to herself, at least she didn't have the loneliness that she had before and was suppressed to death by the snow and lifeless woods.

The most desperate thing in the Northern Wilderness is never the harsh environment, but the loneliness brought about by the uninhabited snow and lifeless silence.

Wei Peijiu was tired of walking, or he was tired of worrying about his horse carrying heavy prey, so he raised his hand and put his index finger together and put his thumb in his mouth and whistled.

Hearing the sound, the horse trotted back to Wei Peijiu's side, shook the snow off his body, and stood quietly beside the woman.

When the little white horse saw the little mare running back, he ran back after him.

Wei Peijiu unloaded the heavy flower deer on the horse's back, wiped the snow on the raised bluestone on the side of the road, and didn't care about the person behind him, and sat on the bluestone to rest by himself.

Seeing Wei Peijiu sitting on the bluestone to rest, Han Shi looked around, and there was no place to accommodate his buttocks, so he sat down with a big grin towards the only slapped free place left by the bluestone where Wei Peijiu was sitting.

Naturally, the vacant space of bluestone is not enough to fit the buttocks of an adult man.

Wei Peijiu was squeezed by Han Shi like this, and her body was uncontrollably squeezed forward for a lot of distance.

Originally, the bluestone could only accommodate one person to sit upright, and it naturally looked very crowded when two people sat upright.

Han Shi was silent, leaning on the body of a young woman with a stunning appearance, and his heart was naturally very useful.

Han Shi, who was secretly happy in his heart, closed his eyes and felt the soft touch coming from his back. Suddenly, I felt that something was on my waist, and when I turned my head, I saw that the tip of the knife was pressing against my back and waist.

A woman's indifferent voice came from behind him: "If you don't get up again, I'll let you sleep here." ”

Han Shi had no choice but to get up suddenly, walked about four or five steps away from Wei Peijiu, and smiled awkwardly.

Wei Peijiu closed his eyes and recuperated, and Han Shi stood obediently, not daring to make a mistake.

"I said, Miss, your old man is comfortable. ”

"I have followed you all the way, and I have never rested. ”

"It's empty here, and you're the only one. ”

"Why don't you move your body, let me rest for a while. ”

Han Shi was talking to himself, spitting and spitting.

Wei Peijiu still closed her eyes and ignored Han Shi's chatter.

Suddenly, a dull loud clicking sound came, and the birds and beasts in the forest chirped in unison, and all kinds of birds flew up from the branches, and the black pressure crushed in horror and galloped away in the opposite direction of the snow-capped mountain behind the forest.

After a while, I saw the black wolves rushing towards the direction where Han Shi and the others were.

Han Shi watched the fierce wolves rushing towards him, and was overwhelmed with fright for a while. Slurred shouted, "Wolf... Wolf... Wolves come and go

up, run... Run... Run. ”

The two horses were also frightened at this time, and kept neighing.

The wolves were followed by bears, deer, tigers, and leopards...... All kinds of forest animals are rushing in unison.

Han Shi wanted to run, but the call seemed to take root and grow on the ground, and he didn't listen to the call at all.

Wei Peijiu jumped and jumped on horseback.

"Fool, why are you still standing stupidly!" Wei Peijiu dragged Han Shi onto the back of the horse he was riding and galloped in the direction of the bird's flight.

Then the first little snowball rolls down the mountain, then the second, then the third...... With each roll, the snowball is one point larger, one, two, and three times...... , huge snowballs rumbled towards the bottom of the mountain.

As soon as the snowball hit the tree, it flew out like droplets.

The snowball that followed rolled up the snow foam from the previous snowball and continued to run rudely and brutally down the mountain.

The first tree, which could not withstand the violent impact, was cut off by a raging snowball with a clatter, followed by the second tree falling, the third tree falling, four, five .......

Countless huge snowballs continue to roll down from the peak, and countless large snowballs converge on the mountainside, like a huge torrent pouring down in nine days, and like a warm and clean pure white quilt, to experience the cold under the mountain

of the creatures covered with warmth.

The valley rumbled loudly, the ground shook, and the dense woods were reduced to nothing as the overwhelming stream of snow passed.

Twenty miles away from the Savage Valley, a cavalry team of more than 100 people was galloping towards the direction of the Savage Valley, and the leader of this group of people and horses was Wei Xu, the leader of the winning department.

The strange movement that came from the direction of the Savage Valley in the past naturally knew what it meant to the people of Winbu who lived here all year round.

With that loud bang from the Savage Valley, Wei was struck by lightning. Immediately, he was angry and bloody, and as soon as he saw darkness, he fell from the back of a galloping horse.

When Wei Xu fell off his horse, his head hit the raised rock on the road. At this time, there was a long wound on his forehead, and blood was flowing down his cheeks, and the pain in his heart came from his forehead.

Wei Xu stretched out his hand to wipe the blood on his face, ignoring the pain, and ordered the rest of the people to continue to rush to the Savage Valley without stopping.

Wei Xu himself immediately turned on his horse and galloped towards the Savage Valley.

...

The two men and two horses led the way, and the creatures of the forest followed closely behind and galloped for their lives.

The avalanche came suddenly, and the creatures in the forest tried their best to flee for their lives, but they were still unable to resist the raging snowflow.

One by one, the animals with poor physical strength were overtaken and devoured, and they disappeared into the field without even a single scream.

For Han Shi, Wei Peijiu, and those who are worried about these two people in their hearts, this disaster is undoubtedly extremely unfortunate.

For the people of the Northern Wilderness who eat the mountains by the mountains, this is undoubtedly a great gift from heaven and earth.

When the avalanche stops, waves of people fight for winter food buried in the snow.

Hunting empty-handed is a common thing for people in the Northern Wilderness. If there is not enough food to survive the winter, then it will be reduced to food for others to survive the winter.

In the Northern Wilderness, where the living environment is extremely harsh, eating human flesh has never been a taboo thing.

The food in the tribe must first feed the group of chiefs, and the rest of the scraps will be eaten by the people below. If the superior people can't eat enough, the inferior people have to find a way to feed the superior people. If the inferior people can't eat enough, they can only feed themselves by their own ability.

There is an unwritten rule here, survival of the fittest. Except for women and children, and horses and hunting dogs, the rest can be eaten according to their ability.

In the season when the mountains are covered by ice and snow, there will be no one missing in the family, and everyone knows where they are going.

In the bitter winter when food is scarce, whimpering sounds can be heard from huts of all sizes, and those who hear them sigh that they are lucky enough not to be turned into food for others.

Compared to fighting for life in exchange for the food needed for survival, it is undoubtedly irresistible to only dig a few feet of snow to obtain enough food necessary for life.

Both men and women here, because of the need for survival, hunt on horseback all year round, and all of them are good hunters.

Wei Peijiu galloped skillfully on a horse, and the strong sense of bumps seemed to her to be nothing.

And Han Shi grew up in a hotbed since he was a child, and although he knows how to walk with a horse, he only walks with a horse.

But you can't gallop on a horse.

At this time, he was just lying on the horse's back, and the strong bumps naturally made him miserable, Han Shi only felt that the world was turned upside down, and then his eyes rolled, and he fell off the horse and fell backwards heavily.

Two people and two horses galloped into one man and two horses galloped.

Wei Peijiu struggled to pull the reins and wanted to stop and pull up Han Shi, who had fallen off the horse, but the horse was uncontrollable, and continued to gallop desperately for his own life.

Wei Peijiu turned his head to look at the person behind him who was getting farther and farther away, and turned his head with a sigh, closing his eyes and turning his head, unloading the force that pulled the reins.

"It's not that I'm only concerned about my own safety, but I can't take care of you at this time. Wei Peijiu muttered to herself.

Countless mountain creatures galloped towards the place where Han Shi fell.

The number of animals trampled to death due to physical exhaustion is far greater than the number of animals that are unable to reach their feet and drowned in snow.

Animals do not have the compassion of human beings for the pitiful and pitiful, only the instinctive desire to survive.

The Han Shi who fell to the ground was naturally the result of trampling to death.
