Before he finished speaking, the snow wolf crouched down. Nian Tu nimbly got out of the cave and rode on the wolf's back, holding him firmly.

"Long time no see, Amo," she waved and greeted Amo.

For a moment, Amo's face was filled with horror, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

“Nian, Nian Tu…??!!”

"Aren't you dead?!"

He was so shocked that he could barely speak and his speech was incoherent.

When he heard him say Nian Tu was dead, dissatisfaction and ferocity suddenly appeared in the Snow Wolf's gray-blue eyes.

"It's me," Nian Tu was not surprised by Amo's reaction, nor did he mind.

After encountering an avalanche and being trapped in the cave for so long, people like Xiaoli and Yanyan who firmly believed that they were not dead were the rare minority.

"I'm not dead," she explained calmly, "Ah Zhan is still alive."

As she spoke, she rubbed the snow wolf's head along with its fur. The wolf's eyes immediately became docile, and it raised its head and rubbed against her hand.

Amo's heart was pounding and he swallowed hard.

He prepared himself mentally before he mustered up the courage to take a closer look at the man and the wolf in front of him.

...Looking like this, they are indeed Nian Tu and Wu, that's right.

They exhaled white mist in the cold air, proving that they were breathing and alive.

After standing there like a statue for a long time, Amo finally accepted this unbelievable reality, and his frightened pale face gradually returned to normal.

Xiao Li laughed at him, "Idiot! Coward!"

Amo was extremely embarrassed at being humiliated in front of the female he liked, and was too embarrassed to look at Nian Tu's expression again.

He gritted his teeth and retorted to Xiaoli, "It's not that I'm a coward!"

He was not the only one who thought that Wu and Nian Tu were dead and would never come back. Of course, it would be scary to see the dead suddenly appear in front of you.

At the foot of the mountain, the hunting team had just succeeded in hunting, and everyone in the tribe was gathering around the fresh prey and dividing the food.

The prey was a not-too-big calf, and each person could only get a little bit of meat, which was not enough to fill their stomachs.

After finishing this hard-earned meal, they have to spend a lot of effort to find other food. Day after day, they don’t know when the cold season will end.

People's faces were filled with sorrow, and the expressions between their brows were almost numb.

"We are back!", the little fox ran happily in the front.

Hearing the sound, her mother was the first to look up at her, and said in a reproachful tone, "Next time, don't run around anymore. You make me worry so much—"

Her eyes passed over Xiaoli and caught sight of Nian Tu riding a snow wolf. Her voice stopped abruptly. She was so frightened that her eyes went dark, she couldn't breathe, and fainted.

The warm atmosphere froze in an instant.

There was complete silence at first, and then there was a violent noise.

fainted!

Someone fainted!!!

Are they sick too?

Did they eat something poisonous? Otherwise, why would they have hallucinations, as if they saw Wu and Nian Tu coming back? !

"Don't crowd around, spread out a little," Lu Zhan said calmly.

The crowd subconsciously obeyed his words and stepped back a distance to allow the air to circulate again.

Nian Tu checked the unconscious female and shook his head. "It's nothing serious. She's just weak and got scared just now. She will wake up soon."

There is no need for over-treatment, just resolve the misunderstanding, supplement nutrition, and take some tranquilizers.

"Are my medicines still there?" Lu Zhan lowered his eyes and looked at the patriarch.

“Yes, yes…”, the patriarch stammered before he could come to his senses.

"They're all here!" A little wolf that looked like a husky suddenly jumped out of the crowd, dropping the meat he had just gotten. His calmness disappeared without a trace, and he ran towards the snow wolf, whimpering and shouting, "Master! Master's Wife!"

His big fluffy tail swayed like a propeller behind him, and he was so happy that he almost took off on the spot.

Very good!

He felt that his master and his wife must not be dead! !

If he didn't have to take over his master's job and shoulder the responsibility of being a wizard, he would definitely go to the mountains with Xiaoli and Yanyan to look for people every day!

Lu Zhan reluctantly took a half step back, avoiding the silly boy's enthusiastic attack.

"Well, you come and prepare the medicine for her," he decided to test Alan's strength.

During the long period when his master was missing, Alan had been working as the tribe's witch. Although he was forced to do the job, he did it very well and without any mistakes.

But now, in front of Lu Zhan, he was a little nervous.

He raised his eyes and glanced at his master, hoping to get some hints, but seeing that Snow Wolf was unmoved, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and look for herbs, and prepare the medicine according to the recipe in his memory.

The dried herbs were ground in a ceramic bowl, making a soothing rustling sound. The tense atmosphere gradually faded, people gradually came to their senses, and the tribe leader also calmed down.

He looked at Xuelang and Nian Tu and saw that they were in good health and had not lost much weight. He was extremely surprised. "Weren't you buried in the snow? Where were you these days?"

This is a long story.

"We were trapped in a cave and just got out a few days ago..."

Nian Tu simply brushed aside the difficulties of digging a way out, without mentioning a word about the illness and the quarrel, and only focused on the cave that connected the two sides of the mountain.

"There is a lot of food over there, and the weather is much warmer than here, which is more suitable for living. We can move there and settle down."

Xiaoli and Yanyan also nodded in agreement, proving that what she said was true.

"Also," Nian Tu dropped another bombshell, "I discovered a salt lake and clay over there. Our tribe can now make our own salt and pottery, and we don't have to pay high prices at the big trading market anymore."

what……

"Salt?!"

No one understood anything else, but they all knew salt. When they caught the word, they immediately became excited.

"You said, there is salt over there?"

They never dared to think about such a good thing and never expected it.

"Hurry, hurry up!" The clan leader was the most impatient, "We'll move over right away!"

The territory with salt! It must not be occupied by other tribes! ! It must be theirs!

The salt they brought was almost gone, and they were worried about what to do!

At the command of the tribe leader, everyone's mobility became stronger than ever. Before Xiaoli's mother woke up, everyone had already started packing their bags and preparing to set off. Amo carried his mother on his back and followed the pace of the main group.

The snow at the entrance of the cave could not withstand the strength of a group of people and was soon completely dug out, allowing three people to pass through at the same time. People consciously lined up and moved forward in an orderly manner.

Nian Tu rode on the back of the snow wolf, walking in front and leading the way, followed by the tribe leader, Xiaoli and Yanyan.

After passing through the long cave, the view ahead suddenly opens up.

The sight of birds singing and flowers blooming dazzled the patriarch's eyes. He paused, took a deep breath, and ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

Hearing is not as good as seeing. No matter how well Nian Tu described this place, it would not be as reassuring as seeing it with his own eyes.

This side of the mountain is really warm, and food seems to be readily available everywhere, which is more suitable for living than the previous tribe.

but……

"Where is the salt?" The patriarch looked into the distance with confusion in his eyes.

How come he didn’t see it?
