Chapter 71 The Long Winter

This snow has been falling for a long time, how many days in a row, even the knife one by one can't remember clearly.All she knew was that some of the tribe's houses had been knocked down, one in particular.It was midnight when the house collapsed, and people were sleeping soundly. There were four people living in that room, and none of them could escape, except for one who was slightly injured and was rushed by people who heard the movement from the tribe. The three of them were crushed to death.

Aya felt very heavy about this matter, so she sent more people, and every time it snowed heavily, she would order people to knock on iron pots and go back and forth in the tribe to remind people to clear the snow on the roof in time.He didn't starve to death, he didn't freeze to death, but he was crushed to death, which made people feel uncomfortable no matter what.

Fortunately, the prevention was timely and no one died again, but some collapsed houses were no longer habitable, and houses could not be built immediately. The permafrost underground was so hard that they could not be shoveled. Some people stuffed it into other people's homes again.Even Dao Yiyi and Aiya were not spared. Two people were squeezed in, one named Yimi and the other named Wenlu, both young and beautiful girls. It is said that they were still a pair of sisters. Very popular.

What about just sleeping at night?Although Aya and Dao Yiyi's kang is very big, it's still not so wonderful to have two extra girls lying between them.In the end, Dao Yiyi thought of a way to hang a curtain with cloth in the middle of the kang, and divided the kang into two parts. Yimi and Wen Lu lived in one half, and Dao Yiyi and Aiya lived in the other half.

A girl named Ming Yi was also stuffed into Huahua's house. She was bigger and taller than Huahua, but she was very thin. Huahua's body was twice as wide as hers.Aya would go to see if there was snow on the roof from time to time, and that incident also scared her.Xiao Zongzi also hid in the house when it was too cold.

Afterwards, they went to catch fish twice more, but it was difficult to catch them again. The key was that the weather was so cold that people couldn't stretch out their hands.The rabbits and sheep in the tribe were frozen to death one after another, and they were all slaughtered and eaten.Some were kept in the house.However, the food is still decreasing rapidly, and the storage in the cave is getting less and less. In the past, one meal a day was enough, but now it is dry meal, thin meal, one thick meal and one thin meal. Hand out food.

The big rats raised in the tribe reproduce very quickly. There were already a lot of them, but they couldn’t help eating them. The big rats were the first to be eaten. Now Da Da has extended its claws to the rabbits, which made Haw cry several times. Because these animals have the deepest affection for him, they have been kept by him since they were in the cave.But now, he saw that these small animals were decreasing one by one, and a lot of space had been vacated in the cave.

The sweet potatoes hidden in the cellar are often boiled into sweet potato soup, and those sweet potatoes have also bottomed out.

Although Da Da didn't tell other people in the tribe how much food they had stored, but watching the changes in the food in the bowl, everyone knew that there was not much food in the tribe.

They can only hope that this winter will end soon.

Knives—sometimes they find that they will dig out some stiff worms in the ground to feed themselves.There is nothing she can do about it, sometimes she will feel a deep sense of powerlessness, Aya is right, winter is indeed very good, and this winter will indeed become very, very long as Aya predicted , if her memory is not confused, this winter has lasted for four months.

Her hands have also been damaged by the cold, and each finger is swollen as thick as a carrot head. This is because she wears gloves made of fox fur. If she doesn't wear them, it may be even worse.Maybe it's because Aya is used to this kind of winter, Aya didn't have frostbite or anything, it's just that the knife had never been out of the house, and she was frozen like this, compared with Aya, she was so angry.

Aya looked at the red and swollen fingers of the knife one by one, feeling very uncomfortable, and felt distressed for a long time every time she looked at it.

Once Xiao Zongzi screamed very badly, Dao Yiyi was annoyed by it, and finally went out to poke his head, "Aiya, what's wrong with Xiao Zongzi?"

Aiya told Dao Yiyi sadly that Da Da wanted to kill the sheep, but Xiao Zongzi refused to let him, and started a fight with the tribe.

Dao Yiyi was very puzzled. They had killed sheep before, but they didn't see such a big reaction from Xiao Zongzi. "Kill the sheep?"

Aya: "It's the two sheep, the two we delivered."

Dao Yi was taken aback for a moment, she knew the relationship between Xiao Zongzi and the two lambs, although the two lambs had grown up, but in Dao Yi's eyes they were still the same two newborns. The lamb was brought back by Aya from the mountain.

Dao Yiyi felt uncomfortable, "Can't you stay?"

When Aya heard that she was pushing the knives into the house one by one, she also felt very sad, after all, she delivered the babies and brought them into this world with her own hands.Daoyiyi and Aya also fed them for a while.

Aya took out two jars from the house, and one by one recognized them as the jars where she put the wheat seeds and beans. Aya suggested: "Yiyi, why don't you cook these and eat them?" Let’s get through today’s meal first.” Aya knew that if she did this, she would only temporarily save the lamb’s life, and she would still have to kill it tomorrow, but she had no other way.Between human life and sheep life, as the leader of the tribe, she obviously must feed her tribe and not starve to death.

Dao Yiyi shook his head resolutely, "No, these are leftover seeds." I don't know if the wheat and beans that she and Wu Di planted before will survive. If they are frozen to death in the soil, then these Seeds are her last hope.There is hope only when there are seeds, and nothing can be eaten.It is impossible to kill the chicken and take the eggs.

"Can……"

Both Dao Yiyi and Aya felt unprecedented embarrassment, and now Dao Yiyi has lost a lot of weight.Aya held it much lighter.The little zongzi outside was still neighing desperately, Dao Yi panicked, Aya put the clay pot with the seeds back, there was a slight splash of water.

"One by one, did my leader fail very well?"

Dao Yiyi quickly hugged Aya and comforted her, "No, you are the best leader I have ever seen."

This time, neither Dao Yiyi nor Aiya went out to kill the sheep. They were waiting quietly, waiting for everything to settle.

I don't know how long it took, the little zongzi suddenly stopped crying, and Aiya and Daoyi were silent and didn't speak, just hugging each other tightly.Usually Aya went out to pick up the meal, but today Aya didn't move.When the treasurer went to collect the food, he didn't see Aya, so he came back to help them.

Dao Yiyi and Aya looked at the meat in the bowl, even though they had been hungry for a long time, they were not in the mood to eat it.

In the end, it was Aya who brought it over and persuaded Daoyi to eat something, but the Daoyi didn’t move, so she gritted her teeth and ate a piece, but as soon as she ate it, she froze for a while, her eyes suddenly changed, and then ran out .After a while, he ran back with a smile on his face, "Yi Yi, eat quickly, this is not mutton. I saw that our two lambs are still alive."

Dao Yiyi was also a little surprised, "It's not mutton, what is that?"

Aiya smiled, "It's leopard meat. It's a coincidence. When Da Da and the others were about to kill the sheep, Xiao Zongzi refused to give up, and finally dragged Huahua out of the tribe. Everyone thought that Xiao Zongzi was going crazy and would be bad for Huahua." , hurriedly followed them out. Who knew that two leopards covered in snow were found in the trap ditch under the fence, and they were frozen to death. Fortunately, it was cold and they could still be eaten, and the meat was not spoiled.”

It should be that the two leopards were very hungry and wanted to attack the tribe, but they still couldn't get over the wall. Then they somehow fell into the ditch they dug outside the wall, and after they died, they were buried in snow.This is really good news.

The leopard meat was a bit hard, and it couldn't be chewed no matter how hard it was. According to Aya, it had been cooked for a long time, but Knife Yiyi insisted on forcing himself to eat some.After taking a few sips of broth, I felt much better in my stomach.However, the two leopards can persist for a long time, and if the food problem is not solved, the two lambs cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered in the end.

Dao Yi couldn't help thinking, if there was no more food, would her little zongzi also... Thinking of this made her feel terrible, Dao Yi was in a panic, unable to sleep, and touched the wool on her body This is a sweater woven from the wool that the sheep in the tribe shed when they were still alive. There are only a few in the tribe, and she got one.

Do you want to boil animal skins and eat grass roots?

"Yiyi, why haven't you slept yet?"

In the dark night, Aya's voice sounded, but the voice was very small, and Yimi and Wenlu were still asleep on the other side.

"Aya, let's take some time to go up the mountain." Dao Yiyi suddenly thought of the strange cave that Aya called the ancestral bureau.

Aya was anxious when she heard that, "No, Yiyi, none of us can go."

Daoyi felt that Aya's body seemed to be shaking. She knew that Aiya had misunderstood her. After all, she had heard from Aya from the past that when the winter was too late, the old people in the tribe would go up the mountain to wait to die. Come down for rations to leave the hope of living to the young people.

"Aiya, you misunderstood me. I just ran out of salt and wanted to bring some back." Dao Yiyi hurriedly explained that the reason was so far-fetched that even she herself didn't believe it.If the tribe's totem really possessed mysterious powers, would the ancestors of the Dahe tribe watch their descendants starve to death without giving any hints?Well, Dao Yiyi felt that he was so hungry that he started to believe in these illusory things.

Aya looked at Knife Yiyi suspiciously, and seeing that she didn't say anything about going up the mountain, she coaxed her softly and said, "Yiyi, go to sleep, you won't be hungry after you sleep."

In Aya's soft voice, Dao Yiyi was in a daze and soon fell asleep.When he got up the next day, he found that Aya was gone. When others told him that Aya had gone hunting, Daoyi was completely stupid.

"Aya, you big fool. Big fool."

Dao Yiyi panicked completely, a little confused.Looking at the vast snow outside, it feels like falling into hell. Where can I go hunting in such weather.How dangerous it is to go hunting while snow is blocking the mountains, you can think of it with your toes.

Compared with the severe cold and harsh weather, this is the real severe winter.
