Ali's Bizarre Adventure

Ari looked at the people lying down in the dark night. These people were motionless, looking like corpses.
But he kept staring, and occasionally moved.
Ah Li also didn't sleep well all night, and in the trance of sleep, she heard a cry of grief.
Then, another ship also heard crying.
The silence was broken before dawn, and those who woke up shouted to those around them while shaking.
Some people wake up, and some people never wake up.
How many people are alive? "
Zura stood at the bow and asked the two ships beside her.
"29, four people died."
A woman answered.
"31, three died."
Ari looked at the three cold and stiff corpses on the deck, one of which was a baby who was several months old.
"Zula, how is your situation?"
Ari looked heavy.
"One of them died on my side."
Hearing the cries in his ears, Zula glanced at the depressed clansmen, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, take off the animal skins from the corpses. The dead are gone, so there is no need to be sad. They just went one step ahead of us. God's side. And one day, we will be reunited with them, but not now!"
Everyone did as Zula said, and the corpses that had taken off their hides were piled up in one corner and covered with a thin cloth.
The ship continued on without stopping.
"Ira."
A 50-year-old woman walked up to a girl whose child was frozen to death, "Don't be sad, God just made a joke with you. But don't blame God, He must have arrangements."
"Um…"
The girl's eyes were red, she was only fifteen years old.
But she also knew that the child who died before the name day was just a joke made by the gods to people.
"All right…"
The mature woman hugged the girl tenderly, "You are already very strong. I have also experienced this kind of thing. Although it is painful, it will pass after all. All you have to do now is to look forward."
"I know."
The girl unwrapped the animal skin that wrapped the baby, and she took the animal skin to another woman who was holding a child.
The child's face was blue from the cold...
----------------
ps: The name day is five winters. Many children in the Freljord will not survive the name day. In order to alleviate the pain, people can only do so.
Chapter 345 Avarosa's Reincarnation
Seventh day.
Everyone on board was tortured by sleepiness, hunger, and cold.
More than half of the people died.
The oarsmen rowed numbly, and the others huddled tightly together. As furnace owners, they were already on the verge of their limit.
Ahri, Lilia, and Ashe cast their nets for fishing.
"Ash!"
There was a hint of surprise on Ari's tired face, "Look...there is snow ahead, land... land has arrived!"
Ashe looked up, the deep blue water was connected with a piece of snow white.
Ash let out a long sigh of relief.
She stood on the bow of the boat and shouted to the stove owners: "The land is coming! Hold on, everyone!"
The furnace households curled up in a ball slowly stood up.
There was a gleam of light in their eyes.
"Warriors, step up—"
Zura was oarsman in another ship, and his old age had seen many hardships and had a stronger will.
It's just that his physical strength can no longer keep up with the young man.
The most feared thing during a long voyage is getting lost, and all you can see is the boundless sea, and people's beliefs will gradually be wiped out by panic and anxiety.The appearance of land cheered everyone up.
The speed of the three sailboats also became faster.
The oarsmen are doing their best.
Ashe saw an invisible force from these furnace households, and their beliefs were united.
……
At dusk, the fleet docked.
People disembarked from the boat, feeling a sense of reassurance that their feet were grounded again.
"Zula."
Ashe found Zura who was carrying the battle axe, "How did Ibrato say goodbye to the dead?"
"Buried in the ground, or cremated."
Zura already had wrinkles on his face, but his muscles were well developed. In order to conceal the signs of his aging, he shaved off all his gray hair.
"Which one is more grand?"
"cremation."
Zula looked solemn, "This is the way of burial in the territory. The fire dispels the cold, and the dead will no longer suffer from freezing."
"Cremate the dead!"
Ashe said.
"But...we don't have enough dry firewood, and ordinary furnace owners don't need to use such a grand method."
Zula was a little surprised. After ordinary furnace owners died, their blood relatives usually dug a pit and buried them silently.
There will be no funeral, no ceremony of any kind.
"Use a sailboat and gather all the dead people on one boat. We only have more than 40 people left now, so we can't use three boats."
"Boats can be exchanged for supplies from other tribes."
"fine."
Ai hoped for those corpses that were frozen to death and starved to death. She felt a little uncomfortable and blamed herself a little.
It's all because of her orders.
But Ashe didn't regret it.
As Sejuani said, as a leader, one must know how to sacrifice. Sejuani's words are always cruel and true.
"Zula, go."
Ashe said.
"Yes!"
Zula took the people together and moved the corpses to the same boat.
Then the sailboat was ignited, and the fire was blazing, and the sailboat that loosened the anchor gradually sailed into the distance, disappearing in the boundless sea.The living bid farewell to the dead in silence.
For them, this is just a brief separation.
They finally meet the dead.
"Ari, come with me to see what's going on nearby. Maybe we can catch some prey, or bring some firewood."
Ashe came to Ahri with the Zhenbing longbow on her back.
"I... I will go with you too..."
Lilia said.
"No, the tribe needs protection, Lilia, you stay here, your magic can protect them."
Ashe touched Lilia's head, "Be good."
"Well…"
Lilia replied in a low voice, "Okay... okay."
She is obviously older than Ai Xi, but in front of Ai Xi, she seems to be treated as a younger sister.
But it's okay, Lilia is more suitable to listen to the command.
Instead of making decisions, give orders.
"Let's go."
Aixi took Ahri's hand naturally, the sunset at dusk, glowing red, dragged their shadows very long.
It seems a little ambiguous.
Ai Xi didn't know when she started to become so close to Ari.
but.
She likes this feeling.
……
Ari and Ai Xi quickly disappeared from people's sight, and the two of them walked into a forest in the ice and snow.
Crooked trees grow indiscriminately.
"Ash, have you told everyone about your True Ice Bow?"
Ahri felt the temperature of Ashe's palm, her hand was softer and warmer, very smooth and tender.
"No."
Ashe shook her head.
"You should probably talk."
Ari looked at Ashe's side face, as if sculpted from ice and snow, "If Sejuani can overcome the difficulties, she will definitely become a powerful war mother. And you... are weaker than her, but you also have your own advantages. "
"Forehead?"
"For example... the reincarnation of Avarosa!"
Ari has seen too many deaths, and the hearts of Beidi are indifferent, but Aixi has kindness in her heart. She hopes that Aixi can also rise.
Ashe sincerely regards Fudo as her family.
This is rare.
"It's a lie..."
Ashe pursed her lips, bowing her head in thought.
"Stove households and small tribes who are struggling to survive will definitely like this lie. Everyone is looking forward to a strong leader to lead them. Sometimes, people are more willing to believe lies, just like the mother of a dead child, more willing to believe The child did not die, but went to the temple of the gods."
Ahri said in a soft voice, "The people from the Ibrato tribe may not be the only ones you can save."
"maybe."
Ashe held the longbow in her hand, feeling the biting cold from True Ice.
Through these stabbing pains, she felt the heart of Avarosa, who was just a weak girl when she was a child.
But she accomplished the feat of unifying the Freljord.
