Survival In the World of Beasts

Li Shizhen was also a little dumbfounded. God knows, he just disguised a magic stick just now, first stabilize everyone and give Yu Amu a little confidence. After all, whether Chiapa and the others can come back, they all must have it this snow season. Live on. Could it be that the first time disguising a **** stick was so effective. As the figure approached, Li Shizhen could see that they had come back in vain and brought back a lot of prey, many of which were alive. Obviously these ten young people He also hurried back, with a layer of snowflakes all over his body, and Ah Hu followed Li and drove down.

Seeing the scene below the sacred fir, all the young people were very anxious. They had heard about the snow season in the past, but they did not expect that the snow fell so early this time, and these old people and the females who had gone through the ceremony were actually in their absence. A decision was made.

Bai threw the thing aside Li Li directly, and ran over by himself.

Li Shizhao was a little disappointed and relieved again. Although it was not Chiapa and the others, they were at least able to control the situation better when they came back. There were a lot of people and strength, and they could better rescue Yang Apa below.

As soon as Yu Amu saw that the females came back, they were a little disappointed. However, this cannot be said to be the failure of Sheng Cong. Bai and they did bring their prey back from the south. Everyone looked at each other. Those wishes can be realized? Can all the males who went to the Southern Howling Valley come back? Maybe they might all survive this snow season?

For a time, a ray of hope pierced through the heavy snowflakes and lit up in everyone's heart.

When Bai came back, he saw Li Zhizhen and Yu Amu standing under the sacred tree. Although their eyes were red, at least they were standing there properly. He was slightly relieved, and Li Zhizheng quickly said in a few words: "Yang Apa and Lan Emu went in, and Yu Emu was also going in just now, I stopped, you..."

Bai comfortedly patted Li Shizhen, then turned around and said to Yu Amu: "Eminem, we have hunted a lot of prey, and we also found a lot of edible things in the lake. This snow season will definitely go on!"

Then he glanced at Li Shizhao, looked around at everyone present, and said loudly: "I'm going to bring Yangappa and Eminem here now."

Several eminems said at the same time: "No!" "Don't go!" "No!"

Yu Amu stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai's hand: "No, don't go down! They didn't come out after entering the snow cave. Sheng Cong has never let anyone who goes down come back. It has been for so many snow seasons before, you can't bring you back. Yang Apa and the others! If your Blue Eminem is here, they won't let you go down!"

When Ache and Aman heard Yu Amu say this, they cried again "Wow", and for a while, the females who had relatives in the snow cave also cried bitterly.

But Bai yelled loudly: "Don't cry!" He took a deep breath and said to Yu Amu: "Amu, do you remember that year? I walked alone in the snow for so long, and came to Saint In front of Cong, you and Lan Amu saved me. Last time I was fine. It was because of Holy Cong's blessing. There will be nothing wrong with entering the snow cave this time. Holy Cong will continue to protect me. You believe me."

Yu Amu was choked for a while, and his mood was ups and downs, he could only hold his hands tightly and shook his head desperately. However, Bai Xin was determined, he hugged Yu Amu, and handed him to Li Zhizhen, who was aside.

Li Zhizhen held Yu Amu, but there was an excitement in his heart. No one has ever been able to come back? In such a place similar to a burial cave, the air and the like must not circulate, and it is cold here, he was a little anxious for a while, not knowing that Yangpa and the others could bear it, but for a while, he was a little worried and didn't know. It's not safe to go down in white.

"I'll go with you!" Li Shizhao insisted on taking a look.

Bai shook his head and looked at Li Shizhen seriously: "I'll go down first, and I will come back immediately if the situation is not right. You stay here to take care of Eminem and the others, Ah Zhao, obedient!"

Facing those clear blue eyes, Li Zhizhen saw Bai's determination and pleading, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

Later Xiao Heyong came up and probably heard what had happened, "I will go down with you." "I will go too!"

Bai waved his hand: "You stay on top first. I will check the situation first. There are too many people and it's not easy to deal with it. It's easy to get into trouble."

Li Shizhao calmed down a little, thought about it carefully, and then confessed a few words with Bai, and then asked Eminem who was in charge of the warehouse next to him for something. He digs out the plastic bag left in the schoolbag. This bag of bread has no weight or space, so he keeps it in the schoolbag. He filled it with air, tightened his mouth, and handed it to Bai. You can still have some spare fresh air if you don't breathe well.

The Eminem next to him found a long rope and torch from the storeroom at Li Zhixun’s request. Li Zhixuan tied a rope around Bai’s waist. In case of anything, he asked Bai to sway the rope according to the agreed secret sign. They are also easy to respond.

Holding the torch in white, the group of people walked around for tens of meters and turned to the back of Sheng Cong. Only then did Li Shizhen see clearly that there is a natural cave on the back of this big tree near the snow peak, which is very cold and dark. , I don’t know how deep it is.

Li Shizhen was uneasy, but at this time, he could only pray piously, so that Bai and the old people would come back safely. He pulled Labai, stuffed the sacred fir into the small bag around the white waist, and then watched the white torch walk into the gloomy cave. The faint light of the fire appeared so small in the dark cave, and it could be extinguished at any time when it flickered.

Holy Cong, you just responded to my wish like that. If you have spirit, please bless everyone to come back safely.

Li Shizhen lowered his head in silence, with a pious expression on his face. He prayed silently in his heart, raised his head and took a deep breath.

He has to do something to avoid the uneasiness and cranky thinking at the moment. Thinking carefully about the various situations that may come out in vain. Quickly, he instructed the restless eminems next to each other to boil hot water, prepare warm animal skins, beds, and long branches.

Yu Emu, who was in an ups and downs mood, was arranged by Li Shizhen for two young females to help them back to rest, but Yu Emu refused to leave. He had to see Bai come back before he was relieved. Li Shizhen did not stop him, just let these two A female supported him to rest.

The male on one side left four ropes carefully observing the entrance of the hole, and if there was any movement, he immediately notified everyone to pull people out. Li Zhizheng repeatedly urged these males that if they shake the rope, the air inside is probably not clean. Even if they go in and drag people, they must keep their breaths. If they don't, they should withdraw immediately. Don't try to be strong. But he himself has made a silent decision. If it doesn't work, he will definitely rush in and drag Bai out.

The rest of the males were told by Li Zhixun to make simple stretchers out of animal skins and branches. He was afraid that the elderly would be in a bad condition, and he was afraid that carrying them would make them uncomfortable, so as soon as he was rescued, he would immediately use a stretcher and thick warm animal skin to keep him warm.

Li Zhizheng called Ahu and several females who were fairly stable in mood, carefully and repeatedly explained to them how the old people should come out after a while, how to massage their limbs, how to wipe them with warm water, and how to keep warm until they repeat. Unmistakable.

At this moment, there was a shout from the entrance of the cave: "Quick, come out, come out!" "What about the wooden shelf, quickly!" "Skins! Quickly wrap it up!" "Still alive!"

There was a burst of joy in the crowd. Everyone, crying and laughing, arranged the people in a stretcher and covered them with thick animal skins.

Li Shizhao couldn’t squeeze there for a while, but from the gap in the crowd, Bai was seen standing properly. Everyone seemed to only remove two people from him to look at his figure and clothes. One of them should be Yang Apa, Li Shi Zhun heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the tall trees that were silent and silent, and a sense of unwarranted awe rose in his heart.

Seeing that people were all around the entrance of the snow cave, Li Shizhao exclaimed: "Don't be around, all spread out, it's not good to be around!" He couldn't explain for a while the surrounding is not good for the breathing of the elderly, so he had to let everyone first. After dispersing, he turned his head and instructed the females around him to let them wait for one person to take charge of an old man, and be sure to let them slowly recover their body temperature.

At this time, the crowd had dispersed. Li Shizhao ran and followed the stretcher to look at the two rescued old people. Both Yang Apa and Shi Amu were not in good health, and their faces were very pale.

Yang Apa seemed to be wrapped in warm animal skins, regained a little consciousness, and murmured something. Li Shizhao fell down and listened, "Alan...Alan..."

Li Zhizhu tucked the animal skins for the old man, and said in his ear: "Lan Eminem will be back soon." The old man seemed to stop worrying and whispering.

Li Shizhao stopped and watched the two stretchers quickly moved to the warm stone house to the north. The situation was much better than he expected. It seemed that the old people didn't go in for too long.

Li Shizhao turned his head and Bai was already organizing a few males to go in with him. Li Shizhao guessed that the conditions in the cave might not be as terrible as he had imagined, otherwise Bai would not just organize people like this.

Bai did not care to say hello here. He saw that Li Zhizhen had already arranged everything, so he immediately turned his head and carefully instructed the next group of people who went in with him, where to hold their breath, and when they wanted to. How to get out quickly, how to shake the rope in case of a situation, and how to respond to the people outside, he arranged like usual hunting. Fortunately, everyone had a tacit understanding during this period. After a while, they tied the rope again and prepared to enter. cave.

Li Zhizhen didn’t know the following situation, but Bai did. He just used up the plastic bag that Li Zhizhen gave him just now, just because he couldn’t find anyone underneath, he walked across the road and felt dizzy. Fortunately, there is some spare air, otherwise he can only pull the rope. This time he had figured out the way below, filled the bag with gas again, prepared the torch again, and then set off.

Li Shizhao saw that Xuedong was already in order, and when he turned around, he saw that a few children who were frightened had been comforted by a few females, so he asked them to take the children back first. He himself immediately ran to the stone house where the old people were resting. After all, they were all very old, and they had frozen like this for a while. They needed to be warmed up slowly. He was not anxious. Li Shizun was not at ease, so he still wanted to go and take a look. I'm afraid I will have to boil some warm soup later.

Both sides were busy separately. Fortunately, the old people didn’t go in for a long time. A few fainted, but they were still breathing. Because Lan Emu was a little younger, he was willing to come out until the end, but he was a little bit cold. I was stiff and couldn't walk, but fortunately, his breathing and thinking were still normal. Ache Aman had been taking care of him without leaving any step, and Li Shizhen was relieved.

The people in the valley finally settled down, and their previous thoughts gradually settled in this busyness.

All the old people have some frostbite. Li Shizhao spends a lot of activities in Yang'apa's wooden house. Knowing that he has these frostbite medicines, he plans to go straight to get some.

From a distance, Li Shizhen saw Mu Apa. He did not enter the snow cave, nor did he stop Yang Apa and the others, but he had been watching here in silence. Li Shizhen was a little confused for a while. What kind of existence does the ferocious old man have for the valley, and what kind of feelings does this old man have for the valley?

The old man seemed to be in a daze. It took a long time to find Li Shizun who had come over. He snorted coldly and turned around and walked away. Only then did Li Shizun find out that he had always thought of the tall and hideous old man, whose back was so stumbling and lonely. Lonely.

Yang'apa’s wooden house is very neat and tidy, so the herbs needed and possibly used have been prepared one by one. He even saw the knots and symbols arranged by Yang'apa on the desktop, because he was afraid that he would not be able to personally save it. Teach these one by one to the next recorder.

Li Shizhen took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his chest. He found the frostbite medicine marked by Yang Apa among the herbs. He glanced again at the things Yang Apa put on the table. He didn't even have it. To touch those things, as if it was blasphemy to touch them, turned around and walked out of the wooden house.

Bai and the others were already busy. They came and took a look at the old people. They saw that there was nothing serious. The females were taking care of them. They went to pick up the prey **** in Taniguchi. After all, the heavy snow season still counts on these prey to survive. .

Those prey were all **** in Taniguchi in a mess. Everyone didn’t care about it for a while. One or two of these prey could not be cleaned up. Bai directed the young males to drag the living prey to the hot spring area in the north. The fence of the shed also came in handy. The severely injured and the dead are dealt with on the spot, and they are handed over to the cheered up females like Yu Amu to cook dinner.

After taking medicine and feeding some soup, seeing that a dozen old people had recovered, Li Zhizhen and a group of females put a big rock in their hearts. Every old man was left guarding by his side, and the rest of them withdrew to the lake. In the open space, after the hustle and bustle, the sky was already dark. Supper was ready at this time, this rare and rich meal, everyone was already hungry, but they were just silent and unaware of food.

For many young people present, the old people and the females walking into the snow cave during the heavy snow season are just tragic stories passed down from old age. Today, if it weren’t for Li Shizhen to stop them in time and they came back in time, this tragedy will happen to them. On his own relatives.

The females finished eating silently, and went into the stone house to replace the people who were left behind. It was only then that Bai relaxed a little and sat beside Li Shizhao.

Li Shizhao had never seen Bai's expression so tired. He lowered his head and said sadly: "I don't care about the two eminems too much."

Li Shizhao gave him a comforting hug, and the two of them embraced each other quietly, speechless for a long while. For them, there are too many places for them to reflect on the changes in this place. They almost lost those respectable old people. Now, all they need is a warm embrace to comfort each other's shaking souls. Then, cheer forward.

After a brief comfort, the two of them ate this unknowingly tasteful dinner in twos and threes, and each split up to arrange follow-up work, patrols at night, caring for the elderly, and feeding the prey in the hot spring area.

The two people who returned to the stone house were exhausted. They lay their breath in bed. This feeling of exhaustion was really uncomfortable. The two exchanged some information. At this time, the valley had just experienced these turbulences, and the heavy snow season It has come, there are many tasks that need to be arranged, and there are many omissions that need to be summarized.

In the heavy snow season, the old people and females will walk into the snow cave silently. Although it is a tradition, Li Shizhen still feels an unspeakable sadness. He can feel all the warmth and comfort when he comes to this valley. People living and friendly, thinking about it now, it is so difficult for such a warm valley to stretch to this day.

However, Li Shizhao still couldn't agree with this approach, and things were not in desperation. Why were they so pessimistic. Isn't it too unclear to follow the tradition blindly? Perhaps too many traditions and events have been recorded. Yang Apa and the elderly are already preparing for this day?

Have they always ignored the rituals in the valley? Although young people are impetuous and prone to problems, these old people and adult females also need attention.

Both of them believed too much in these people's ability to withstand stress and self-adjustment, and many plans did not involve them. This resulted in miscommunication. The two did not realize the pessimism spreading in the elderly and females, these lurking Their emotions are not as obvious as that of young people, and they are not easy to detect and remove; and they did not know that many plans for young people's enthusiasm are actually feasible, and things are not so desperate at all.

It is not just young people who need to change and grow in the valley.

On the other hand, the two have to come up with ideas about various tasks in the valley over a period of time.

Li Shizheng glanced at him: "Qiapa and the others haven't come back, are you going to pick it up?"

Bai Shen Yin: "I asked Eminem about that place today. It's too far. I'm afraid it will take too long to come and go. Moreover," Bai wryly smiled, "Now there are not so many manpower available in the valley. Only patrols can be allocated. The squad should go farther and try to get as far as possible."

Li Shizhen sighed, and he stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one: "Yang Apa and the others need to be arranged to take care of them. The snow has already fallen, and the Congguo will be picked soon, so I can’t wait any longer. On my side, You have to pay close attention to planting corn, raising animals, and so on. You brought so many living creatures back. Every day just for them to eat and drink, a lot of people have to collect grass and leaves. By the way, how is your research on fish? ?"

"You can eat more and you can't eat less. I think those animals will be fine if they eat it. I'm afraid I have to try it myself next time. I don't know how the poisonous fish was transmitted in previous years."

Li Shizhao nodded: "Try it next time. I haven't eaten fish for a long time, but it's better to take this kind of uneaten food step by step, and try to eat it little by little to see if there will be any problems. As for the rumor, Maybe only a few fish are poisonous, but if they are cooked together, they will be poisonous in one pot."

Bai nodded and frowned: "I'm afraid that the lake will freeze soon in the snow season. The salvage you said will work?"

Li Shizheng was slightly surprised: "Ice? I'm afraid I can't cast a net on the ice. How can I salvage it? If the ice is too thick, the boat can't pass."

After Bai reacted, he sighed deeply: "There is not enough manpower." He planned what he was going to do soon, fishing, hunting, and patrolling, not counting the fruit picking. A headache.

Li Shizhao also nodded: "Indeed." In his heart, he silently counted the planting, breeding, caring for the elderly and children, and arranging daily cooking. He also had a headache without counting the fruit picking.

The two of them thought about it carefully. The snow has fallen. Once the fir fruits are ripe, they must be picked immediately. They cannot be dragged. The lake will freeze during the snow season. When the time comes, you will be able to catch fish or something, even if you know the non-toxic species. The method is to use Li Shizhen's method to salvage on a large scale, and planting and breeding is also a long-term work that will pay off, and it must start now. There is a lack of people!

The two of them looked at each other, with a clear heart, and said in unison: "Eminem!" Then they looked at each other and smiled.

Now Chiapa and the others still haven’t come back, but the trees in the valley have not been picked, the fish in the lake have not been caught, and the cultivation and planting are all involved. They all need manpower. It is better to include the old people and the eminems into this system. When you are busy, you will naturally not think about it when you see hope.

It used to be just a little play among young people. Although it seems to be very effective now, when the entire valley needs to be turned up and a group of old people fell, Eminem and others can no longer be outside the entire system as they did before. Moreover, it is better to take this opportunity to let them see some changes.

Bai took the lead and said: "Before that was not possible. You can no longer let everyone come and go at will. You have to arrange everyone's work quickly. Eminem and you are no exception. You can arrange what you should do. Maybe they can get better."

Before today's incident, the organization of the young people was actually relatively loose. Everyone was just randomly divided into groups, and after what time and what to do, everyone was free to move around.

It now appears that perhaps it is necessary to standardize the organization's form, which is more rigorous and more efficient, and after the great shock of the valley, perhaps such an effective organization form will be more conducive to the stability of the people. After all, if you have work to do all the time when you are in a state of anxiety, and then you find that there is something to be gained and rushed after doing the work, you will naturally not have so many distracting thoughts.

The two of them had agreed on a general plan, and they were relieved. The specific rules and so on can be discussed tomorrow, and finally there is an implementation plan.

For both Li Shizhen and Bai, they began to think that they were just "taking care of" the things in the valley, but now they have to be responsible for the affairs of the entire valley. They were a little caught off guard and under a lot of pressure. Neither of them has done such a thing. After having at least a reliable idea, both of them have a little bit of heart.

Under the faint light, Li Shizhao blinked his eyes and rolled over. He was already very sleepy and tired. The plan had been determined, but he couldn't sleep. The shock of today's events has not faded until now he realizes how big it is, and it hasn't faded yet.

The guy next to him actually closed his eyes after discussing it, and his sharp features were bright and dark in the dim light, and he didn't know if he was too tired or too calm, so he fell asleep soon. Li Shizhao was in a daze. Fortunately, this guy came back in time today. Otherwise, let alone rescue Yang Apa, he might even be reluctant to stop Yu Amu. It seems that I am still not strong enough, there is always something powerless.

I don’t know where his thoughts have drifted. Li Shizhao gradually closed his eyes. In confusion, he seemed to hear a soft smile next to him, and then the whole person was surrounded by familiar body temperature again. This time, he really slept. Finished.

Under the warm light of a house, the room is peaceful and quiet, and the snow outside has gradually stopped. This turbulent day finally passed.
