Through the wild age

"Why is it you? It's so late. What's the matter?" Standing outside the door was Brother Geng. After this old man lived in the tribe, he didn't walk around with everyone very much. Today he came to his house in the middle of the night. What is it?Chen Qiao felt more and more ominous in her heart!

"Did you hear the rumbling just now?"

"Yes, did you hear that too?" Chen Qiao tensed up unconsciously.

"Yes, I don't feel safe in my heart, so I came to ask you."

"What do you think..." Brother Geng was older than himself after all, so naturally he was more knowledgeable than himself, so Chen Qiao wanted to hear his opinion at this time.

"It may be that the snow on the mountain has slid down." He had heard of such a thing when he was in Airrow City before, but he hadn't experienced it himself, so he didn't have experience, so he wasn't very sure.

"Is the snow on the mountain sliding down?" Avalanche! ?

"I'm not sure. There's been a lot of snow on the mountain recently. We'll go and have a look at dawn, so we can rest assured."

"..." Chen Qiao was already stunned. Yes, why didn't he expect it? After leaving the original world for so long, has he even forgotten this most basic common sense?

"Don't worry too much. Even if it is, it may not necessarily happen on the mountain where they are. Anyway, let's go and see first." Although Brother Geng said that, he was already [-]% sure in his heart. Nearby, the one that is closest to the tribe is the tallest mountain, and that mountain has a steep slope, which has the highest possibility of causing an avalanche.

This Chen Qiao naturally thought of it, that's why he was so flustered.

He thought that as long as he accepted his fate and stopped struggling, he could live a life with that man in such an ordinary way.

Why can't it?He turned his head to look at Dila, who was standing silently by the side, and Mai Xi, who was wrapped in a quilt and stood dumbfounded at the door of the room, feeling very helpless all of a sudden.

Since when did he become so naive, put on a posture that all this was forced on him by others, and he took it for granted to enjoy others' kindness to him, as if accepting these was such a helpless thing.

When did he become such a ridiculous person?Because of being pampered and tolerated by others, do you unconsciously become stupid?

Recalling the past scenes, when he first arrived in the tribe, the man's indifferent side face; when the man came to the beach, he stood tall and straight on the hill; in the city of Airo, he came back in the rainy night When he returned home, the night he committed himself to himself, the unstoppable love on his face...

He can't see it, he can't feel it.He's just used to it, putting on the posture of a forced person, he's just used to it...

Chen Qiao turned and went back to her room, Mai Xi and Dila also went in, the three of them just sat there, no one said a word, and for some reason, it was dawn, Chen Qiao opened the At the gate, I found that Brother Geng had gathered all the people in the tribe. Everyone brought shovels, baskets and shovels, all of them looked serious and ready to go.

Yeah, where's the time to be cowardly?

On the way to the mine, everyone was silent, and the more they walked, the more uneasy they felt.When the big mountain appeared in front of everyone, someone finally couldn't help crying.

There is only a vast expanse of white snow in front of me, where is there any trace of the mine?

"Hurry up, everyone, do you remember where the mine is?" Brother Geng didn't give everyone time to relax, maybe because there are no relatives in the mine, maybe because he is older and has experienced more hardships, Anyway, he was the most composed one.

Because the house of Ge Geng's family has not been built yet, when the tribe decided to come here to clear the snow, they did not count their family members. Although Ge Geng was more determined to contribute, he was politely refused by Baya up.

"The open space on the mountainside is the one without trees." Chen Qiao quickly adjusted her mood and began to cooperate with her elder brother.

"Well, let's speed up our pace now. The heavy snow is actually breathable. As long as the snow is removed in time, the people in the mine should be fine."

"Brother is right, let's go over and dig up the snow." Chen Qiao stared at the white snow, this open space is no longer what it used to be.

Clearing the snow is a big project, especially on the thick snow. We can't determine the exact location of the mine, so we can only make a rough estimate.This greatly increases the workload.

"Dig here." Chen Qiao pointed to a place and said that the tribe gave him the right to decide life and death, and he is not a god. He knows it himself.

But at this time, there is no room for hesitation. Even if they dig in the wrong place, they can continue to dig in another place, and waiting and hesitating will only waste time in vain.

The snow was very thick, and the three sons of Gegeng and Hao Sheng dug the snow around with shovels, and then the others carried the snow into baskets with their hands, because it is not yet known how the mine is located. The specific location, in this area, it is unwise to pile snow anywhere, so they had to move the snow to a relatively far away place.

Because they were in a hurry when they went out, Dilla and Macy didn’t have time to put on their hats and gloves, so they just picked up the snow with their bare hands, and everyone was the same, just working silently and having the strength to speak, it’s better to save more Do some work.

The first hole was dug to the height of three people before seeing the ground, and there was only a tree branch broken by the snow below, and nothing else.

Don't panic!This tree is also a sign, and the location can definitely be judged!What kind of tree is this?Pine trees, yes, but there are pine trees everywhere on this mountain, which one is it?

The knife mark, yes, there is a knife mark on it. This location should be the flat ground where everyone usually sits and rests. There is a pine tree that does not grow well there. Everyone usually dislikes that its crown is too small to shade , Yes, it must be this tree!

Chen Qiao walked crookedly for more than twenty steps in the direction down the mountain, and then stood still in one place.

"It's here, it must be here! Come and dig here, everyone!" He squatted down and picked up the snow with his hands.

Although everyone didn't know why he was so sure, but at this time, if they had time to talk nonsense, it would be better to dig more snow. No matter how bad it was, if they cleared the entire area of ​​snow, they would always find the location of the mine.

Because the terrain in this area is relatively slow, the snow is really thick, and the excavation process is also very difficult. Everyone gradually felt exhausted. This morning, they went out before they had time to eat. , Working on the snow for a long time made everyone feel a little short of breath.

"You guys, go back and get something to eat, and cook some ginger soup if you can." Chen Qiao ordered a few women and children to go home, and found someone in a while, whether it was buried or digging snow, it is estimated that they will not be able to get home. Frozen.

"Go with a few more people and get some dry animal skins."
