Survive in the beast world

Chapter 67

This seed made Li Shizhen even a little excited. This is a seed that is very similar to corn. The yield of corn is much higher than the species he is tossing now, and it can also resist the harsh environment, although it is not sure whether it is corn. , but let Li Shizhen see a glimmer of light.

God knows that the dwindling inventory has made Li Shizhen's heart heavier and heavier. This golden seed is just a ray of golden hope, and it is related to Ahu's hesitation last time and the fact that he knew he was there today. Li Shizhen asked happily, "Ahu, thank you, do you have any other seeds?"

Ah Hu couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Shizhen's smile, and nodded vigorously, "Yes, Ah Chao is so smart, I brought other seeds with me when I came out from... I put them in animal skins."

Seeing his cheerful smile, Li Shizhen didn't ask about his past, but continued to smile and said: "Let's go and see, if it can really be planted, Ahu, you really helped everyone in the valley." .”

Ahu quickly waved his hands: "No, no, everyone has always been nice to me, but I..." He clenched his hands again.

Li Shizhen couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay, Ah Hu, everyone didn't know you were shy at first, it will be fine after a long time."

Ahu nodded. Among all the people, he thinks Ajo is the best. Although Aman is a bit fierce, he is still the most afraid of standing. When he thinks of the snow-white wolf showing its fangs, he can't help but slap him. trembling.

Li Shizhen comforted: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if Ah Hu can't grow it, we are all working hard, everything will be fine."

Ahu shook his head in a panic: "No, it can definitely be planted. In the past, Eminem and I used this to survive the snow season."

Li Shizhen had no doubts about Ah Hu's words: "That's great, let's go and see other seeds." I don't know if they are the same seeds or different.

Li Shizhen and Ahu went to his residence, and then Li Shizhen found that Ahu didn't live in the warm north, but next to the warehouse in the south?He couldn't help but secretly blamed Li for being so careless, for a female to live in such a cold place and deserted.

Seeing Ahu holding an animal skin bag, Li Shizhen smiled and said, "Go to my place, it's warmer."

Naturally, Ah Hu had nothing to disagree with, and the two returned to Li Shizhen's stone house.

Li Shixuan smiled and said, "How is it? It should be warmer here, or you can move to the north as well. The south is indeed too cold."

Ahu shook his head quickly: "Well, there are too many people in the north..." As he said, he lowered his head again.

Li Shizhen wondered secretly, no one had lived in the south side before, it seems that this Li knew Ahu's fear and arranged it like this?If so, that's really interesting.

Li Shizhen said in relief: "It's okay, it's good that you like living in the south, but you need to wear more clothes and cover more at night."

Ahu nodded: "There are a lot of animal skins on the bed, it's not cold," and then added: "This is already much better than where I used to live."

Li Shizhen smiled again when he thought of those furs that were obviously newly hunted, not in stock.Unexpectedly, Li Shizhen, who usually seemed taciturn and even a little indifferent, turned out to be such a person. Li Shizhen had never dealt with him directly, but only heard careful and shrewd comments from Bai, so he probably couldn't be wrong.

But it seems that Ahu in front of me still doesn't know anything, and Li Shizhen didn't bother to point it out: "Then let's see the seeds you brought."

Ahu is holding a somewhat old animal skin, which is quite heavy, and it makes a dull sound when it is placed on the table. Li Shizhen smiled slightly. Maybe Ahu looks shy, but he is actually not weak. Such a heavy thing He actually walked all the way to the valley alone.

The animal hide wrapped in many layers was opened, and some small packages were divided inside.

Ah Hu said with some embarrassment: "These are different seeds collected by E-Mu and I. The one we just showed you is the one we planted the most. Others, there are some other seeds."

Li Shizhen smiled and opened them one by one to look at them.They really collected a lot of corn-like seeds, a big bag full, and it seems that Ahu and his Amu have some planting experience, the seeds are full, and they are obviously left after screening of.

Li Shizhen couldn't help admiring: "You and your mother are really smart and hardworking. These seeds are very good!" Indeed, it takes personal efforts and exploration to accumulate such high-quality seeds, and I don't know how much they paid. effort.And the Ahu in front of him was all handed over to Li Shizhen in this way. This is not only a hope to survive the heavy snow season, but also a heavy achievement and trust.

Ahu nodded happily, and his speech speed also accelerated: "Yes, my mother is smart, we planted it many times, and found that the large seeds will yield more, so we saved these large seeds later. "Then his voice sank again, full of sadness: "It's a pity that E-Mu couldn't come here together, it's warm in the valley, everyone is alright..."

Although Li Shizhen didn't know what happened to his aunt, but in such a dangerous living environment, Li Shizhen sighed and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Ahu, if you see that you are living like this Well, your Eminem must be very happy."

Eminem nodded vigorously, and two drops of crystal water gently fell to the ground.

Then he raised his head and smiled at Li Shizhen: "Well, I know. So I will definitely live a good life."

For a while, Li Shizhen felt a little emotional and sad. Ahu was about the same age as him. In modern times, he should be a young man who grew up with a lot of love and love. At least he will be depressed for a few days, but Ah Hu looks so timid, yet so strong.Perhaps, it is really the environment that makes us have to be strong and brave.

Li Shizhen put aside those thoughts, and was about to pull Ahu to sit by the bed, but Ahu shook his head quickly.

Li Shizhen was a little confused.

Ahu's face flushed a little: "That, no, this, no." He pointed to the finger bed and shook his head desperately again.

Li Shizhen was a little puzzled. Could it be that he was afraid of meeting strangers or something: "A few days ago, Bai and the others said they found prey and they were going to go hunting farther away. If they won't come back for a while, you don't have to worry about meeting him."

Ahu blushed even more: "No," he said incoherently, "Yes, there will be a smell." After he finished speaking, he was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.

Li Shixuan: ...

Why do people keep emphasizing the taste to him today!He flipped the table, he must be listening in the wrong way!

But Li Shizhen didn't force Ahu either. Perhaps for orcs, the bed is a territory that cannot be violated by others, so they reserve each other's territory by default?Li Shizhen was a little confused, didn't think about it, and turned to ask him a question that he was more concerned about now: "Ahu, can you tell me how you planted it at that time?"

Seeing that Li Shizhen no longer pulled him to sit on the bed, Ahu breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to talk about their planting process.

According to Ahu, the five members of their family live in the northern plains.The climate is very dry and cold, with little vegetation, few animals, and few predators.This seed was discovered by his mother. It turned out that they lived by picking this kind of fruit for a period of time, but his mother found that the place where this kind of fruit dropped would grow again in the next year, so he wondered if it was this kind of fruit. The fruit is buried in the soil and will grow back.

After many years of experimentation, they gradually figured out the growth law of this fruit.Usually planted in warm spring, it will gradually germinate, and then the fruit will grow up and bear fruit in warm and rainy summer. His mother even tried to plant it again in warm summer, although it will bear fruit in winter There are fewer knots in summer, but there will still be harvest.

Successively, they thought about whether the several edible plants around could use the same method to harvest more fruits, and then his mother collected many other kinds of fruits and vegetables, and started other experiments one after another.

But the good times didn't last long, and their stable life attracted the attention of other orc groups. Those people picked the fruits they planted, and the number of them was larger than them, driving them out of their homeland.It was in a panic that Ah Hu was stuffed with these seeds by his own Ah Mu, and escaped first under the protection of Ah Mu, but his Ah Mu was captured by those people.

Moreover, in the chaos, Ahu was also separated from his other relatives, and finally met Li and was forcibly taken back to the snow wolf group and returned to the valley.So now he is particularly worried about his Eminem.

After listening, Li Shizhen comforted Ah Hu and said, "I think your mother is probably fine."

Ahu opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Shizhen nervously: "Really?"

Li Shixuan nodded with a smile: "Think about it, those people don't know how to plant, even if they occupy that piece of land, it's useless. In the end, I still need your mother's help. I guess they will not hurt your mother, after all They have something for you, Ah Mu." This is the most likely situation, Li Shizhen guessed that those people must have observed the actions of Ah Hu's family for a while, otherwise how would they know to catch Ah Mu? ?

"So, you don't have to worry too much, there will be a day when we get together." Li Shizhen nodded.

Ahu laughed suddenly, although he didn't say anything, but those green eyes were filled with the most sincere joy and gratitude, which made Li Shizhen feel warm for a while.

Then the two began to seriously discuss the matter of planting this corn. They said it was a discussion, but in fact it was Li Shizhen who kept asking, and Ahu answered after careful consideration.According to Ahu's description of the plant, Li Shizhen feels that this is a variety of corn even if it is not corn. Water, and the temperature should be suitable.

After figuring out these most basic conditions, Li Shizhen was greatly relieved.Sowing seeds under such conditions, adding some fertilizer, and Ahu's "guidance" on the side, the combination of the two, greatly increased Li Shizhen's confidence in this success.

In view of Li Shizhen's obsession with collecting information in detail, the discussion between the two lasted for a long time, and Ah Hu was really patient, actually thinking about every bit of Li Shizhen's questions before answering.

Both of them were a bit tired from standing, and Ah Hu refused to sit on the bed, and finally they both sat cross-legged on the ground to discuss. Fortunately, even the floor in this room is warm, so it doesn't matter.

Li Shizhen also wanted to ask about Ahu's other seeds. After all, corn is high-yielding and there are many seeds in Ahu's belt. Other seeds may also have surprises.

Aman rushed in with sweat profusely on his face, he pulled Li Shizhen up and said, "Quick, come with me!"

Li Shizhen staggered a little all of a sudden, what's the matter, he looked so anxious.It seemed that something serious happened, Li Shizhen grabbed Aman back, put his hands on his shoulders, and shouted loudly: "Aman, calm down!"

Aman seemed to regain his senses after being drunk, so he stopped, looked at Li Shizhen intently, and cried with a "wow": "Ama, save me..."

Li Shizhen shook his shoulders severely. Bai and the others are not here at the moment. It will be worse if this guy doesn’t explain the matter clearly. Li Shizhen said loudly: "Don't cry! Why are you crying! Explain the matter clearly first !"

As if frightened by Li Shizhen's stern words, Aman choked and said: "Amu went into the snow cave to look for Yang Apa, but he hasn't come back yet. Ata wants to go in, but they won't let him in. Ata wants to rush in, let me I'll come to you first, wow, ah, you're so good, you can definitely save me, right?"

Li Shizhen's temple was aching from his crying, but the words "Snow Cave" and "Yang Apa" touched his sensitive nerves, so he shook Aman again: "Where is Xue Cave?"

Aman looked at Li Shizhen with tears in his eyes and replied with sobs: "The snow, the snow cave is under the holy fir tree, old people will go there..."

Li Shizhen's eyes went dark, and he felt that something was churning in his body, and all the cells in his body seemed to be trembling, as if something he was afraid of, something he tried his best to avoid, was happening before his eyes and he was powerless to stop it.

However, at this moment, with Bai not by his side, he had to calm down, and a moment of delay might really be life-threatening.

They won't let them in, who are they, or are they all the people in the valley? !

Li Shizhen took a deep breath, turned around and grabbed his schoolbag, his movements were extremely quick, but his tone was surprisingly calm: "Let's go, Aman, you lead the way."

Seeing Li Shizhen's solemn face, although Ahu was afraid of seeing so many people, he was a little worried about Li Shizhen, so he followed behind.

As soon as he got out of the cave, it was already covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, and even this warm valley was covered with a layer of white. Li Shizhen's nose was sore, because the snow season had come and the pine fruit hadn't even had time to pick. The reduction in production will be more serious, did Yang Appa lead the way into the snow cave?

I don't know how long Yang Apa and the others have been in, why they didn't come out even after Lan Amu went in.With too much anxiety in their hearts, Li Shizhen and Aman ran faster and faster, and Ahu was panting after chasing after them.

Under the tall holy fir, probably because of the power of the Holy Spirit, there is an empty space with no vegetation, only this giant tree that seems to reach the sky above and connect to the nine springs stands erect.At this time, the sky was full of heavy snow, solemn and solemn, only the area covered by the canopy of this giant tree was clean and free of snowflakes.

The clearing is now full of people standing in chaos.Li Shizhen looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was also flustered. When he saw Aman's six gods, he knew that this matter was not good for Aman.

He grabbed Ahu, who was following him, and grabbed a whistle from his bag: "Ahu, you know how to blow a whistle, right, with the end facing your mouth, blowing hard, yes, you go to the mouth of the valley to blow this whistle right now, three Short, yes, until the patrolling males come back, tell them something's wrong, come back!"

Seeing Li Shizhen's anxious and solemn face, Aman nodded his head heavily, and ran towards Taniguchi.

Ah Che, who was usually gentle under the tree, had lost his gentle and peaceful appearance. He cried desperately and begged: "Amu, Amu, let me in, woooo..." But he was hugged tightly by several Amu. Don't let him get close to the giant tree.

Seeing Ah Che's appearance, Ah Man burst into tears, then left Li Shizhen and ran over: "Yu Ah Mu, please let us in... Ah Mu is still inside..."

Yu'am, who always had a bright smile on weekdays, hugged Ah Shi with a pale face, crumbling: "Ache, Aman, don't cry, you see, it's snowing, it's snowing... woo woo..."

Halfway through the talk, he hugged Ah Shi and burst into tears: "Why are you going, Apa, why...why didn't you bring me...I'd rather he stay and we go into the snow cave together, so that we can be together again ..."

Yu Amu stuffed the startled Ah Shi into the sluggish A Man's hand, his eyes were red and he said hoarsely: "Good boy, don't cry," he gently wiped away the tears on A Man's face, " I'll go in and see your mother, it's such a long snow season, take good care of yourself, don't let your mother and I worry about you."

He lowered his head and looked at his young son lovingly: "Be obedient and obedient, do you hear me, or Ah Mu will spank your ass." He lowered his head and kissed the little tiger's forehead tremblingly, caressing the top of his head reluctantly One or two drops of rolling crystal splashed on the small tiger's forehead for the word "King", and soon disappeared.

He seemed to want to touch the child's soft and furry ears again, but in the end he withdrew his hand, only showing a tearful smile: "Ah Mu went to the Holy Fir to ask you Apa to come back, you stay here obediently, you know No?"

The frightened little tiger nodded blankly.

Yu'am turned around and walked towards the giant tree without looking back.Suddenly there was crying all around, it was a kind of desperate heart-piercing, it was the howl of losing a loved one, it was the unspeakable sorrow of parting from life and death.

Between the heaven and the earth, this piece of mournful crying, the heavy snow all over the sky, the blue canopy, seems to be a mourning hall built by the heaven and the earth, and several Ah Mu, like Yu Ah Mu, also stood up and followed.

The males couldn't come back because of the heavy snow.In a place like the Howling Valley in the south, how could they come back alive under the heavy snow, why not let the children live.

Li Shizhen seemed to hear the sighs in their hearts, tears streaming down his face, he blinked, tears wet his face, the sky above his head was cloudy, but the snow was falling more and more, without any compassion for the world.

God, they have tried so hard to live, why are they so cruel, these old people, they have done so much for the valley, why are they forced to give up their lives in the end?These females, they are all year round, only in winter they are protected by the holy fir here without being threatened with their lives. Why do they have to experience such a life and death parting this winter?

Li Shizhen didn't care about everything that was blurry in front of him, but rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Don't go in, Yu Amu, don't go in! Please, think about Bai, he's still outside, think about Ah Shi, He is still so young, he still doesn't know anything, think about Qing Apa, what if he can't find you when he comes back!"

Li Shizhen strode forward and stopped Yu'am.

Yu'am looked at Li Shizhen and smiled slightly. The tears and swollen eyes did not damage the tranquility in this smile: "Silly boy, your Apa has come back, he is already waiting for me. Back then I also Stop the Emmies like you, I just know now, as long as you can survive, I am willing to do anything, and you must be when Apa leaves, so don’t stop me again, you can stop once and you can keep going Stop it?"

Seeing Yu'am's determination, Li Shizhen said loudly, "Then I'll go in with you." He also wanted to recite Yang Apa and the others.

Yu Amu seemed to see through what he was thinking, and patted Li Shizhen's head: "You and Bai still have a long, long way to go, Amu is tired, go in and rest first, you have to take care of yourself ah."

Li Shizhen's tears flowed down again, he hugged Amu Yu: "Amu don't go, Qing Apa will definitely come back."

Yu Amu hugged him, as if she was comforting Ah Shi, and gently patted his back. Her voice was quiet and gentle, like the lullaby her mother hummed when she was a child when coddling him: "Ah, good boy, you haven't grown up yet!" In the future, you will have many little tigers with Bai. Watch the little tiger grow up, and then he will accompany you back to the Holy Fir. Ah Mu has already passed by, now I have to go in to find Apa .”

Li Shizhen didn't have time to understand the meaning of Yu'am's words. When he heard the word "Shengcong", he raised his head and frantically dug out the fruit from his bag: "A'mu, I have this, Apa I will come back safely, you trust me, okay?"

Yu'am smiled and poked Li Shizhen's forehead lightly, and sighed like looking at a child who didn't know anything: "Ah, look, it's snowing, and it's starting to snow now, so long Snow season, Ah Mu has never seen him in my life, you have to live well, Ah Mu is really going to Apa, if he doesn’t come back, I will go in and wait for him.”

Seeing a few eunuchs looking at him tenderly, Li Shizhen wiped away his tears. He looked at the females and children around him. Yes, females. It was the first time he saw them squarely, even though they had the same appearance as men. , but their lovers have two forms of humans and beasts, but they are also unswerving in their feelings. They breed and raise offspring, and their motherly love nature is no less than any human mother.Just like Yu Amu, because of his kindness to Bai, he loved Wu and Wu, and gave him selfless love.

How could he accept such love without regret and not reciprocate it?The people here gave him so many things that he never got when he came to this world, how could he just watch like this?

All that is left in this valley are orphans and widowed mothers. Li Shi lifted up the miraculous fruit that had not changed at all like a blessing in his heart, and said loudly to Shengcong: "The ancestors lived in Shengcong made an oath, saying that Shengcong saved his life, he will definitely come back here, and repay Shengcong's kindness with body and soul."

"Shengcong, you once gave me the holy fir fruit. Today, I would like to ask you three things. If Shengcong can agree, I am willing to serve Shengcong devoutly and let the fruit of the holy fir spread all over the continent."

"First, people who went to the south will definitely return safely with their prey; second, this year's pine fruit will definitely not be less than last year; third, this year's snow season will definitely not let a single person starve to death!"

Such a loud and loud wish made everyone silent for a while, Li Shizhen turned around and said: "Mum, don't go in! Shengcong's wish will definitely come true, if not, I will go in with you! Let's at least take a look , can the people from the south come back?"

Li Shizhen pointed his finger to the south, as if in response to his oath, a dozen figures appeared one after another at the Taniguchi in the south, and the tall figure in the front walked heavily, as if he was dragging something heavy, accompanied by the screams of countless animals, the holy The females under the fir were stunned and shocked: "The wish of the holy fir has really come true!"
