Wolf King

Lan Guo, male, 51 years old, remarried after being widowed, partner Xue Hua, has a son and a daughter.

As an adult male in the tribe, Lan Guo is not considered a strong group. Although his height is not a problem, and his altitude is the same height as that of Hongye, his physique is not as strong as A Shanzhuang... The reason is that he ran out when he was young. The tribe was attacked by a wild beast while playing, and one of its hind legs was bitten. After so many years of raising it, it still walks a little lamely.

Being physically disabled is not a big problem for the Snow Werewolf. He can take on the work of an adult, and the tribe will not regard him as a burden.The clansmen who can survive are precious, and watching the clansmen die just because of the slightest flaw is something that the Snow Werewolf cannot understand.

For example, Lan Guo, he used to live a good life in the tribe. When he was young, his leg was injured and he couldn't be as active as other cubs. He often sat and thought alone, and his intelligence was gradually higher than his peers... He has a flexible mind and can think. Such an adult male is also attractive. After he turned 30, he won the love of a female warrior in the tribe, and the two married and gave birth to a cub.

11 years ago, my friend was called to join the war by the Wang account, and he said with a smile that he wanted to bring back the loot to buy a lot of sugar and salt for the tribe, but he never came back.

Lan Guo was hit hard, and his whole person became depressed. At the worst time, he refused to say a word for a year.The clansman understood his pain, dragged him and his cubs who were devastated, and migrated many times in several years, from the center of the grassland to the southwestern border.

The day when the muddle-headed Lan Guo woke up from his grief was the night when fried fish nuggets and green leafy vegetables appeared in the tribe's dinner.Lan Guo numbly took the piece of fried fish distributed by the patriarch, and ate it numbly. When he grabbed the barbecue, his cub handed over the fried fish with half of it bitten off, and looked at him eagerly.

"Dad, this is delicious."

Lan Guo stared blankly at the cub's caring face, suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

The mate is gone...but the cubs are still there.

He couldn't be lost anymore, he slowly lifted his heart that was immersed in pain, and he and his clansmen searched for wild vegetables in between grazing. The clansmen only knew that wild vegetables were delicious, but he understood that only It would be unhealthy to eat meat. For the sake of the tribe and the cubs, he had to make up for the neglected responsibilities of so many years little by little.

Since the meal of grilled fish and wild vegetables appeared on the dinner, many changes have taken place in the tribe. The unpalatable black beans have become crisp and delicious bean sprouts. There are many pottery in the tribe. Everyone can eat in clay bowls. They made mud bricks that could build a house and a warm kang——Languo found that behind all of this was the hard work of the cub Ayun, and he felt even more ashamed because an adult like him did not take responsibility. As a cub, Ayun had no choice but to stand up to take responsibility!How would he face Ah Yun who was just a cub and also lost his family!

Lan Guo is still taciturn, silently and wholeheartedly doing the work assigned to him, from a setback to recovering, he has won the attention of Xue Hua who also lost his partner. Before the arrival of last winter, Xue Hua stretched out his hand to him.

When he decided to raise their cubs together with Xuehua, Ayun persuaded the tribe to allocate houses to those who confirmed their partnership—this made Lan Guo feel even more guilty, even though he understood this kind of exclusive house It belongs to him and Xuehua, and he has no face to possess it, so he always keeps the cubs in the clan who have lost their parents to live together at home. Somewhat at ease.

Lan Guo, who worked silently, never expressed himself or said a word, but he never complained about the hard work, which was noticed by A Yun, so before this year's winter, A Yun asked him to share with Qingcao and Dashui. Going to lead the work team together - Lan Guo was a little apprehensive about this arrangement. He didn't think that he who had selfishly abandoned his tribal responsibilities and was immersed in sadness could do what Ayun asked, but... he did start After refusing, he couldn't escape again, and was irresponsible to the tribe again.

Bite the bullet and accept the arrangement, and every day in the following days will be a challenge for Lan Guo... There are twelve to thirteen people in each work team. After A Yun divides the team, he will no longer arrange in detail what each person will do. Instead, the captains of the work team roughly set out the work to be done in a day or a few days, and the captains arrange it themselves-the captains are not only Ayun's mouthpiece, but also responsible for the staffing and work details of their own teams. .

When you are only responsible for your own work, you just need to bury your head and do things silently. To be in charge of so many people's work arrangements, Lan Guo's heart is trembling... He has always felt guilty and compensated for his tribe, so he asked him to arrange work for them. This is too difficult!

Among the three work teams, Dashui's method is to divide the manpower into groups to work separately, and let other groups help if there are unfinished groups. Qingcao's method is to simply and rudely let everyone work together, one by one I hurried over; after Lan Guo sneakily observed their arrangements, he found that... there was no way to copy them. The personalities of Dashui and Qingcao were different from his. Anyway, he would never be able to mobilize other people.

After being awkward for a while, Lan Guo found that Ayun's way of dividing the work scope of the work teams was a bit strange—except for the work that required all staff to dispatch, the tasks assigned by Ayun to the three work teams were very different. , Dashui’s work team is more responsible for more trivial tasks, such as assisting the rabbits to kill sheep and pigs, helping the gray dwarves to carry heavy objects to make mud models, and helping Thrall and the grassroots patriarch to make cultivation tanks and breeding base materials , Grinding wheat flour and soybean milk, clearing tribal snow and cleaning and other trivial tasks; for the Qingcao team, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to transport coal and mines, collect bird droppings and humus layers, and steam and smash the bones brought back by the soldiers. But it is much simpler and mindless work; as for my own work team, it is to check for gaps when the two teams are too busy, or directly assist them in doing things.

Lan Guo began to think about why Ayun arranged these three work teams. After observing for a few days, he slowly discovered... Ayun seems to be divided into work teams based on character and ability, and Dashui's team is all the same. They are more careful and patient tribesmen, while Qingcao's work team are more reckless tribesmen.And what about his work team... Lan Guo thought carefully about the 14 people in his team, including himself, and was very unwilling to believe the fact that he found out that the people in his team were either dull-witted, careless or careless. Those who don't have any advantage in physical strength, or those who like to be lazy and complain...

This hurtful fact kept Lan Guo awake for two nights. It turned out that Ayun didn't have much confidence in him, so he didn't expect him to be alone, did he...

His partner Xuehua asked him what was wrong with concern, but Lan Guo couldn't tell Xuehua who was assigned to the Dashui team...

Fortunately, he was relieved after only two days of melancholy, no matter what... Ayun arranged thirteen clansmen for him to lead, which is also a kind of trust, and he had a history of "irresponsible black history" before. ", this time it is impossible to live up to the expectations of the people.

In the second month of winter, the snow was even heavier than last month. The snow that had been cleared the day before woke up and opened the door today, and the snow piled up to the height of a person's waist again.

"Huh... so much snow again." Lan Guo moved away from the wooden door tied with animal skins and planks, looked at the waist-high snow, sealed the wooden door again, turned around and walked to the big stove on the top of the kang, bent down Grab bean sprouts, pickles and salted radish slices cut the night before from the clay pot in front of the stove, and sprinkle them into the iron pot on the stove.

After the gray dwarf's shaft furnace produced molten iron, each family was allocated a hot iron pot that was better than a clay pot, and the broth that was frozen in the iron pot on the stove had already been boiled. , the bean sprouts and pickled radish thrown in were gradually swallowed by the gurgling soup.

He opened the cupboard made of rattan and straw and took out pottery bowls. They lined up in front of the stove, and Lan Guo went to wake up the people who were sleeping on the kang, except for his partner and two cubs. Three cubs are also crowded in his house: "Snowflake, wake up, Wool, get up and eat..."

Hululu, the young couple and five cubs drank a large pot of soup, put on cold-proof sweaters, woolen trousers, animal skin trousers, and new fingerless woolen gloves made by the cats, and the whole family went out together Busy work - the wool will take care of the bean sprouts house, the cubs will join Qingyan to take care of the livestock; with such a heavy snowfall, Languo's work team and Xue Hua's work team must first clear the snow in the tribe, and the tribe will also The places where people come and go should be cleaned up so that no one would fall and get injured... mainly the human Sal, he couldn't stand the fall.

But before that, Lan Guo still has one important thing to do.He carried the snow-removing shovel and went to the room where the goblin lived at the back of the collective bedroom, pulled the snow off the door, and moved the door to go in. Wearing an animal fur blanket, she was also shivering from the cold and unable to get up.

Ayun didn't arrange for Lan Guo to take care of the goblins (actually, this guy forgot), it was Lan Guo who knew the importance of goblins, and came to see them every morning... If there were no stone mills made by goblins, so many people in the tribe would not be able to eat now Such soft and delicate steamed cakes.

Add coal to the stove, check whether the coal is enough, then lift the pot to the stove, cook the prepared bean sprouts, pickles and radishes in each house with a heated kang, and check whether the vents in the house are not blocked. The goblins blocked it (this group of people really blocked it, fortunately they found it early), and then called the goblins to eat some hot soup to warm their bodies-the goblins can't go out to do work, but they are not idle for nothing. After eating, I would stay in the house every day and do some manual work within my ability, such as weaving some rattan grass, bark tools, processing small mechanical parts for gray dwarves, etc.

On the way back, Lan Guo took a look at the three houses where the gray dwarves lived. The gray dwarves were not as afraid of the cold as the goblins. They were drinking soup with the door open, and Charles waved to Lan Guo energetically. .

As for the mantles, these little guys are nothing to worry about... When Lan Guo passed by their house, he saw Qiuqiu standing at the stove, baking the leftover steamed cakes for the mantle cubs from the previous day.

There are so many people in the tribe that it is inconvenient to gather together to eat, and the weather is getting colder, so Xiao Yun asked everyone to stay in a certain room, and each room distributes food according to the number of people every day... The ingredients for breakfast are from the previous day In the evening, Dahe Niujiao, who is responsible for the entire population, distributed it over. If there is any leftover Chinese food and dinner in any room, you can keep it for yourself and eat slowly.

Lan Guo walked to the square in front of the tribe. It didn't take long for the tribesmen in the team to arrive. There was no need to distribute them. When Dashui's team was full, everyone took shovels and brooms made of reeds and gave them to the tribe. Prioritize snow removal for buildings and roads to walk.

"Hey, hey!"

The gray dwarves came out of the collective bedroom area, and the strong and powerful ones walked in front, shoveling the chest-high snow while walking. Seeing the snow werewolf task force clearing the snow from the roof from afar, Baloo waved and shouted: " Big water, the drain pipe in the room on the right where we live is frozen!"

"Understood, I'll ask someone to deal with it later." Da Shui waved his hand.

"Hey, hey!" the gray dwarves yelled as they shoveled the snow and headed for the industrial area.

Qingyan, who was wrapped in a fur ball, struggled to pull the snow out of the dormitory area, followed by a row of yawning snow werewolf cubs.Passing by the square, Qingyan looked around to find Dashui, and shouted loudly: "When you grind the wheat flour, don't forget to grind the acorns too, or the pigs will be broken."

"Got it, got it, come and get it before noon." Da Shui waved his hand.

"Big water, get some clean snow to boil the water, the water is not enough." The number one cook, Da He, came over with a bundle of Chinese cabbage.

"I know, I know..." Da Shui waved his hand weakly.

"Big water, big water—"

Lan Guo picked up a few members of the clan who were lighter in weight and was walking towards the shed area. He looked back at Da Shui silently... Da Shui is very popular now, and he was a little envious and sympathetic...

The roof of the shed area does not have a tiled roof to resist pressure, and the snow must be cleared in time. A gray and dwarf artificial ladder is put on the wall, and Lan Guo, who is also relatively light in weight, climbs to the roof. The broom with an extended handle has just swept it a few times. , and saw the green grass leading the team going out.

In order to allow the team of Qingcao to move in the heavy snow, Ayun asked the gray dwarves to build them more than a dozen sledges with iron frames and wooden boards. dragged away.When Lan Guo raised his eyes and looked over, Qingcao and his group were gathering together for a boxing game, and the loser took off his clothes...and turned into a wolf.

A huge snow wolf is dragging a long team of sleds across the snow field. Lan Guo has found this scene very exciting many times. If he wants to participate, he can change into a wolf... It's a pity that all the sleds are now To use it to run into the forest and shovel the guano humus buried under the snow, no one else has to play if they want to.

The loser of the boxing game took off his clothes and handed them to others, transforming himself into a wolf shape. Qingcao put the rattan and grass straps on the sled on the clansmen and tied them up. He was the first to jump on the sled excitedly, raising his arms and shouting: "Come up quickly, let's go!"

"Yahoo--"

Amid the noise made by the green grass, the sled team left in a hurry...

Lan Guo once again showed a little envious expression, not sure whether she envied the grass or the work they assigned.

After clearing the snow in the tribe and piling the snow under the tribe, the work of this day officially begins.Lan Guo and Da Shui met, and after listening to Da Shui's introduction to the work in the tribe today, he divided the people in his team into two groups. To grind wheat flour soybeans, and acorns.

After eating soft wheat flour steamed cakes, no one wants to eat wheat crackers again. Although the work of grinding is boring, no one will complain... Those who grind soybean milk can drink the first pot of hot soybean milk cooked by Dahe Woolen cloth!

The four hand-pushed stone mills in the mill were made by the goblins before they were completely unable to leave the door. They started working at the same time, two mills for wheat flour, one for soybean milk, and one for acorns for pigs. For the people of the tribe to drink, [-]% is made into bean curd and vegetables, and the rest is made into dried tofu.The gypsum for ordering bean curd and the brine block for ordering tofu are placed in Dahe, and the soy milk can be ordered as soon as it is cooked.

"How many pots of bean curd should we make for a change at noon?" Da He, who was cooking soy milk, came to the mill and asked.

"Okay, okay!" Everyone who was sweating profusely nodded in unison.

"There is no wild garlic, only salt and vinegar."

"no problem, no problem!"

Dahe happily went to order tofu curds.

"...Wait, that green dragon hasn't left yet, and the bean curd may not be enough!" Da Shui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly chased Da He.

"Huh? The green dragon hasn't left yet?"

Lan Guo looked at the others in shock, most of them were as confused as him, only two people who lived in the No. [-] dormitory nodded bitterly: "I didn't leave, I stayed in the mobile room."

The diagonally opposite door of Room [-] is the activity room, so it is true... Lan Guo didn't know what expression to make, why didn't Ayun send the green dragon away this time, how dangerous it is to stay in the tribe !

Lan Guo looked out worriedly, but saw...A Yun came up from the prefab room, his eyes lit up when he saw him: "Lan Guo, come here."

Lan Guo quickly looked intently, Ayun's expression was very relaxed, with a natural smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't seem to be angry with the green dragon, so he ran over full of doubts.

The prefab room is where everyone stays when they are resting. The door frame, door hinges and wooden doors that can be opened and closed are specially made. Lan Guo ran to Ayun and immediately looked into the door behind Ayun—then his expression froze. Living.

The green dragon was indeed inside, sitting between the tables and chairs that were usually unoccupied.Overnight, this green dragon, who doesn't look at people straight in the eyes and always has his chin upturned, unexpectedly became...became as dejected and exhausted as if he had cut alfalfa for five days day and night, with his head hanging down and his face pale, sitting on his shoulders The hands on the table seemed to be trembling slightly, and the eyes that were always glowing with greedy green light lost their spirits, and they stared blankly at the empty table in a daze...

"Lan Guo?" Xiao Yun was surprised.

"Yes." Lan Guo quickly looked away.

Xiao Yun turned sideways, facing the sluggish green dragon, spread his hands, and expressed respect in his polite manner, and gratitude in his tone of enthusiasm: "An old friend of our tribe, the noble Lord Green Dragon, helped us develop a suitable flower share. To express our gratitude, we should prepare the richest banquet for your lord... Go to the tool warehouse to get a bark fishing net (made by goblins) and a steel drill hammer, and dig through the ice to catch some fish , want big fish."

"..." Lan Guo couldn't help but cast a glance into the room, the exhausted green dragon was barely raising his face, making a laborious dry smile... Swallowing, Lan Guo let out the pain in his heart. Press down the question, nod, "Okay."

I have done ice-breaking and catching fish last year, and the blue fruit is not unfamiliar... It's just that the fish in the river has a strong earthy smell, and it must be salted and fried with animal fat to taste delicious, and there are not so many in the tribe oil, so rarely catch fish.

Called someone to help, took the tools and went straight to the river. Along the way, Lan Guo couldn't help thinking: I didn't see any big movements in the tribe last night, and I didn't see a lot of things in the tribe when I woke up this morning. Ayun What the hell did the green dragon do to make him like that? !

In this season, the water level in the river is not high and the ice layer is very thick. I chose a piece of ice and used a steel chisel to carve out such a big circle with the palms of my hands spread out. After a while, large and small river fish gathered under the ice, dragging A few nets were used to pick out a dozen of the fattest fish and bring them back to the tribe. Ayun didn't let Dahe get his hands on them, and ran out to deal with the river fish by himself.

Xiao Yun casually killed the fish to remove the scales, pulled the fishing line to remove the gills, brushed with salt and put it in a basin to marinate. When he looked back, he saw the blue fruit that looked like a transparent person, who was usually not close to him, was sticking behind him.

"Blue fruit?"

Lan Guo hesitated to speak, hesitated before saying: "Ah Yun... that... I don't know if I should say..."

Xiao Yun was startled, his eyes widened, what the hell did he hear such a line from Snow Wolf? !Did he stay up all night in the wrong posture? !

Pinching his thigh to make sure he didn't fall asleep, Xiao Yun cheered up: "Lan Guo, what do you have to say? Just say it's okay."

Usually when this kind of line comes out, it is what the cliff wants to say, and it is enough to echo it casually. As expected, Lan Guo's eyes became firm, and he met Xiao Yun's gaze seriously: "Ah Yun, that green dragon is very dangerous. You are alone. Face him, force him again, what if he attacks you? Next time...don't be alone with him."

Xiao Yun... Xiao Yun's jaw dropped uncontrollably, and he looked at Lan Guo like he was meeting this person for the first time.

Lan Guo didn't care about other things, and thought that Ayun would not listen to his advice: "Either you... let Hong Ye accompany you. If you do this, we will be very worried that you will be hurt by that green dragon."

Xiao Yun...Xiao Yun raised his hand to support his chin, and his eyes staring at Lan Guo gradually showed green light——Snow Flower's partner, taciturn, hard-working, and careful with everyone, this is the Lan Guo in Xiao Yun's impression. fruit.

Stupid and cute as an ox horn would complain that the work he arranged was too much and too tiring, but Lan Guo never complained.

In other words, Xiao Yun tormented the whole family for more than a year, and what Lan Guo said did not exceed 100 words... It cannot be said that he deliberately rejected or hated him, anyway, Lan Guo just didn't get close to him; arrange for him to lead the work team , this guy in communication and work will always only have the three constant sentence patterns of "good, good, and yes"—it's no wonder that Xiao Yun classifies him as "obedient but stupid" , No one can choose, so take him to the category that makes up the number.

Lan Guo noticed that there was something wrong with Xiao Yun's eyes, and felt uneasy: "Ah, Ah Yun?"

"Hehehehe o(*￣︶￣*)o..." Xiao Yun put his hand on Lan Guo's lean and strong arm, and opened his eight petals of big white teeth, "I see, Lan Guo, thank you for worrying about me. "

"..." For some reason, Lan Guo had a bad feeling...
