In March, the grass flies.

But the snow ice is not.

The snow is there all year round, and every second of every day is a harsh winter.

Everyone who lives here wear thick leather robes, and the fur of the beast is cut into less-suitable clothes, whether it looks good or not, can withstand the cold.

Reindeer skin, bear skin, fox skin, seal skin, even wolf skin, dog skin, but all the beasts that can survive here, the fur is very thick, make a fur, wear a walk, wear nothing inside, here people do not wear underwear habits, men and women are the same.

Warm and easy.

The beast is fierce, the ability to hunt is not much, thick and durable clothes, often high prices, most people wear clothes are worn and old, some wear for a few years or more than ten years, some are simply passed down by their parents, and even from others.

Dead people, or dying people.

It is a small village with a total of dozens of people.

The nearest town is also 20 kilometers, the snow is difficult to walk, the ice is more difficult to walk, one back and forth for half a day, often early, late to come back, if you can get back -

Although the sled is easy to use and not too difficult to make, the sled dog is too expensive, a total of more than 50, do not belong to anyone, belong to the hunting team, belong to the whole village.

The village is a small tribe, and everyone has relatives.

It is impossible to grow here, and if you want to live, you can only fish and hunt.

Fishing requires technology, relatively safe, and hunting is more dangerous, because the creatures who can survive in such places are not a good deal, whether it is snow icy bears or sea whales, even ice wolves, winter wolves, and icy foxes, are their prey.

But sometimes, the prey is not necessarily the prey, and the hunter is not necessarily the hunter.

As long as there is a hunt, there may be casualties.

In this kind of place, as long as the injury becomes a burden, the difficulty of hunting will become more and more.

If you can't get enough food, then waiting for them is not a person who stares to death, nor is a family starving to death.

It is everyone who is starving.

In the snowy ice sheet, everyone in a village freezes to death and starve to death, which is the norm.

There is no family planning.

As long as there is enough food, how much can be born, because people are powerful, because only the continuous increase of new blood can supplement the lack of labor caused by death.

Elsewhere, such as the Principality of the Thousand Islands, the average life expectancy may reach forty or fifty years, and some live long, and even live seventy or eighty years.

But in the snow ice field, even if the physical fitness is better, few people can live to 40 years old.

After the age of thirty, not frozen to death and starve to death, or killed by the beast in the hunt, will be slowly eliminated because of the continuous decline of physical fitness.

The harsh natural environment has created a cruel law of survival.

Food is not distributed on an equal basis, nor is it distributed as needed.

Who can afford more food?

Surviving the fittest, survival of the fittest.

“This weather is getting colder!”Watt checked the sled and complained in a low voice.

It was a severe winter, the coldest time of the year, fifty or sixty degrees from the night, and old John, the eastern head of the village, died yesterday.

The cold wasn’t the only cause, and there was hunger.

Eating too little and resisting, he was not the first.

Five have died this year.

Twenty years ago, there were about 300 people in the village, and now there are less than 200.

It is getting harder to survive.

“Don’t complain, work hard!The captain said, this time a big thing!The bear in the north, take it!”A strong man grunted and said, “It’s going to be cut off!”

Watt's face was dark.

According to previous habits, enough food should be saved two months ago to spend the coldest time.

But not this year.

There were 27 hunters last year, and this year there are only 18, three dead, four disabled, and two more running.

The winter goddess seems to be in a bad mood, this year is colder in the past, even the beast is restless, the hunt is getting more and more difficult, the result is not enough food, has been hunting.

Otherwise you will have to starve to death.

Watt sighed.

The bear's nest in the north, a dozen adult snow-capped bears, and many bear cubs, if they can really end it, they can get a lot of food.

The key is that the bear skin bear will get the town 20 kilometers away, and you can get at least 10 talismans from the Winter Goddess Church!

Wear talismans, can withstand the cold, do not need to wear thick and heavy leather robes!

Thinking of this, Watt touched the talisman in his arms and sighed.

The talisman left by the father has expired early, and this thing is valid for one year.

I don’t know if I can get one.

As long as there is a piece, the wife and children rotate to wear, can live through the winter.

As for themselves?

The body is okay, right?

Those snowy ice bears are not easy to deal with, some 1st, 2nd, and some 3rd, if not in a hurry, the captain can not let everyone to deal with them, who let the nearby beasts are gone!

"It's time to go, Watt."The strong man said.

Some people rushed to the training dog, set, a group of people gathered together.

“What about Mel?Why didn’t he come?”The captain ordered a little number of people and frowned.

"I'm sick, maybe... I can't get through."Someone answered.

Watt lowered his head and jerked his mouth.

Is there hope?

Is there hope for this village?

“Go away.”The captain said.

“Hmm.”Watt carried a bow and arrow, and held kan'da0, and a sled, which was not a taste in his heart.

Shouldn’t God be sheltering her followers?

Great winter goddess, you are the master of winter, why can't you make winter less cold?

We are all your people!

Does a God like you really exist?

Why don't you die?

“Look, there’s someone there!”

When I arrived at the village, someone shouted.

anybody?

This year, someone else is running to our small village.

Watt looked up, then froze.

There is a man, and he is very thin, there is only one robe!

Just kidding, right?

The snow ice field in this place wears such a thin robe, is not looking for death, freeze you!

“Be alert!”

The captain's eyes narrowed, ordered to stop, and drew the knife.

This kind of weather, wearing a robe, is still alive, who must be!

Such people are too dangerous.

“Stop, outsiders, you are not welcome here!”The captain drinks.

The man really stopped.

But soon, a soft voice sounded:

"I am a traveler from the kingdom of Azeroth, to the nearest city.Can anyone be my guide?I can pay for ten silver coins."

The captain frowned, "I'm sorry, no one in this village can be your guide, please leave."

“That’s a pity.May the gods of Azeroth protect you, and may the light be with you.”

The man raised his hand, a light flew over, then divided into 17 parts, fell on everyone, and then turned away.

At first, the captain tried to hide, but he couldn’t hide.

Then suddenly his face changed.

He felt that his body was warm, so comfortable, and even his strength recovered a lot, and his spirit was much better.

If you can keep this situation, hunting may be easier!

In addition, it is no wonder that the man wears so little is still alive, and there is such a means!

Such a person may be a little dangerous, but if you can let him stay...

"Foreigners, if you can help us, I'd like to be your guide."The captain whispered.

"Well, that's great."

The man heard the words, turned around, and lifted his hood, showing a young face.

His face was full of laughter.
