Fox meets golden retriever

Chapter 14

It took two full days for Chang Nian to store the grain reserves hung all over the walls in the two cellars respectively, and the rows of green leafy vegetables were packed up before the frost.

After doing this, Chang Nian was completely relieved.From now on, you can slow down and wait for winter to come.

Chang Nian lay comfortably on the big rock, as if he was still a human being, with his head up, belly exposed, and his limbs stretched out. This is his most relaxed posture.

When the mind is empty, many memories come flooding back.

Fa Xiao who is far away from the earth, the little golden retriever who accompanied me through the most tangled time, the serious Tiger, the squeamish Cha Cha, and the earth-digging artifact Xiao Yo...

There will be many more after that, but they are just passers-by in life.

Chang Nian is very clear that he will not stay in this primitive tribe forever, and is willing to be a silly pet for the rest of his life.

Jiang Hong said that there are many modules in the Magic Continent, and different modules are at different social levels.Although this is still a primitive society, there are always some places that have entered the age of civilization or a more advanced level.

Jiang Hong also said that the Magic Continent is a magical world.Therefore, the high IQ of the animals here quickly calmed down after the initial surprise.Or, he will have a chance to cultivate into a fairy, which is in line with the general routine of time travel novels.

Therefore, Chang Nian was waiting for an opportunity.Get your chance and get out of here.

With a lot of thoughts, it seems that the world has quieted down.

Chang Nian wrinkled her nose subconsciously as the icy cold touch fell on the tip of her nose.Then eyelashes, pointed ears, pink belly...

Chang Nian reluctantly opened his eyes, but opened his mouth wide in surprise the next moment.

The fluttering snowflakes are like climbing a ladder and sliding down from the sky with a parachute on their backs, like elves who have strayed into the world, dancing gracefully silently.

Great joy spread to the heart, Chang Nian maintained the original posture motionless, for fear of disturbing them.

Chang Nian was born and grew up in the southern country, and occasionally on business trips, he always misses the time. It can be said that he has never seen snow with his own eyes.The snow in the ski resort is just a man-made product, far less than one ten-thousandth of this.

Regarding the soft and beautiful snowflakes flying between the sky and the earth, Chang Nian had no special desire before, and only when he saw it did he know what a surprise it was.

A small animal poked its head at the entrance of the cave, calling out "Yo Yo, Yo Yo".

Only then did Chang Nian regain control over his body, Gu Lu got up and responded cheerfully.

Only then did Yoyo summon up the courage to run to the little fox, twisting her body to express the grievances of the past two days.

Chang Nian has been busy stockpiling grain for the past two days, and has no time to pay attention to this little thing. Every time it appears, he will rush aside impatiently.

Fortunately, the little thing didn't hold grudges, but he was wronged after all.Chang Nian took the initiative to contribute her fluffy cheeks, and let the little thing rub her up, which is also a way of expressing apology.

The two little friends quickly reunited and rolled in the snow to play.

Rolling snowballs, playing snowball fights, making snowmen, Chang Nian has tried all the sports that he has heard of but never played. Anyway, he is wearing a layer of fox skin, and he has no self-consciousness of a 30-year-old adult man.

Chang Nian was surprised again.The little land beast is short in body but powerful, especially when it is rolling a snowball like a dung beetle, it has an absolute advantage in terms of speed and quality.

Of course, with Chang Nian's strong personality, he would never allow himself to lose to a small long-term worker, so the competition between the two gradually unfolded.

They chose to use snowball fights to decide the outcome.

At this time, Chang Nian's body without a single hair showed its advantages.What is snow white?If you can't find it in the snowdrift, then it is called the real snow white.Therefore, Uncle Mei took advantage of the color of his fur to carry out various sneak attacks on Little Yoyo without shame.

The war is heating up, and no one will be outdone.

Chang Nian didn't realize that since he came to the Magic Continent, he has been farther and farther away from the image of that mature, rigorous, black-bellied and sullen handsome uncle.

******

Chacha put down the basket full of fruits and meat, and sat down beside the stake worriedly.

Tiger pushed the door and entered the house with the prey on his back, and when he saw the things in the basket, he immediately showed the same expression: "You still haven't collected it?"

Chacha nodded, and said "yes": "The old orcs, please ask the patriarch to tell everyone that if food is 'wasted' on them again, they will leave the tribe." Chacha deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "waste", Because this is the original words of the old orcs.

"What did the patriarch say?" Tiger asked.

Chacha shook her head: "The patriarch feels uncomfortable too, but there is no way to do it. This is a common practice. You know, our fox clan is very rigid, and the matter between the two of us was..."

As if unwilling to recall that difficult past, Tiger stopped Chacha from continuing, and then hugged his partner distressedly.

At this time, Chang Nian lay on the small bed and pretended to be asleep, so he listened to their conversation word for word.Apart from the matter itself, Chang Nian also cares about the title "beastman".If I remember correctly, this was the first time he heard it.

Just like we don't talk about "humans", orcs don't use the term "orcs" very often.Chacha said this at this time just to express her respect for the old man—more precisely, the old man who is about to pass away.

Chang Nian doesn't understand these things, he's just habitually sensitive.He wanted to hear more, but Tiger and Chacha fell into silence, with an unconcealable sadness on their faces.

Chang Nian was curious about what happened.Ever since Luoxue, the entire tribe seemed to be filled with a depressive atmosphere, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Not wanting to continue pretending, Chang Nian got up from the bed and left the cabin without saying hello.

Tiger noticed his movement and signaled to Chacha worriedly.

Chacha chased him out and shouted at the door: "Don't go too far, come back early!"

Chang Nian raised her voice and said "squeak--" as a response.Only then did Chacha feel relieved.

In fact, even if Cha Cha didn't say anything, Chang Nian would no longer wander around like before.In the winter when prey is scarce, not only humans but also wild beasts in the forest are anxiously looking for food.Chang Nian will not make fun of his own life because of "playfulness".

He just wanted to walk around the tribe and see what was going on.

Speaking of which, the distance between each household in the tribe is relatively far, but there are also relatively concentrated places scattered around the central square.Except for the patriarch and the core members of the clan, most of the residents there are old people.

Chang Nian is not sure whether the "old orc" in Chacha's mouth refers to them.So he decided to find out.

The central square is easy to find, and the old orc's wooden house is nearby.

Chang Nian went to the familiar houses, and found that all of them had closed doors, and there were baskets of fruit and meat outside the door, and some even had two or three in front of the door, obviously no one came out to take it.

Chang Nian knows that the young and middle-aged men in the tribe are responsible for supporting the elderly, regardless of blood relationship.For such a simple and kind emotion, he silently praised it when he first knew about it.

The strange thing is, the old people would gladly accept these gifts before, why are they resisting now?

Looking around, the entire tribe, or the entire jungle, was covered in a vast expanse of snow, with a thickness of five centimeters by visual estimation.The sky overhead is overcast and there is a good chance of another snowfall.

Looking back at the closed door and the untouched bamboo basket again, Chang Nian felt a "thump" in his heart, thinking of a possibility - these old people want to give up on themselves? !

In the winter when food is scarce, every household has to count the rice grains. When they are hungry, this basket of things may save a few lives.The purpose of the old people's refusal to eat and drink can be imagined.

The old man was supposed to enjoy his old age peacefully, but now he is going to die of hunger strike...not one or two, but a batch.

For the first time, Chang Nian clearly realized what kind of world this is.

Although I understand it, I cannot accept it.

Chang Nian threw away his rationality at that moment, and ran anxiously to the doors of each house like a drunken fox, pushing the food basket as far as possible, and knocking on the door , and later simply changed to hit.

However, no one came out to answer the door.It was eerily quiet inside.

Chang Nian even wondered if they were... dead... inside.

As soon as this thought came out, great fear ransacked his brain.Chang Nian subconsciously spread his paws and ran home, he wanted to find Tiger and Chacha for help, no matter what, he had to save people, save people!

At this time, if someone pushes open the wooden door and looks along the messy footprints, one can find a little white fox crawling and rolling through the snow, with its belly stuck to the cold snow and its limbs completely sunk. snow.However, he was undaunted and moved towards his goal.

Chang Nian stopped the car at the last moment.

The icy snow gradually calmed down his restless emotions, and Chang Nian immediately realized a big problem - the rules.

This tribe, or the rules of this world - the strong prey on the weak, survival of the fittest.

Are you really going to be the one who breaks the rules?

If it is a human being with sound limbs, Chang Nian will not hesitate to stand out.However, at this time, he was just a pet fox with short limbs, snow-white fur and a fluffy tail.In front of Tiger and Chacha, he dared not even speak human words, let alone express his "rebellious" thoughts.

Unknowingly, Chang Nian turned around and came to the No. [-] base, a place that gave him a sense of security countless times.

Surprisingly, at this time, the little ground beast was lying on the big rock, trembling.It seemed to be so caught up in a mood that it didn't even notice Chang Nian coming.

Chang Nian hesitated for a moment, but still came to Yoyo's side.Although he didn't intend to inquire about his beast's body, but he often thought about it, what if it needs him at this very moment?

When the little beast turned around, Chang Nian knew it, he guessed right.

I haven't seen him for two days, but the little beast has lost a lot of weight, his eyes are red and swollen, obviously he has been crying for a long time.

Chang Nian felt distressed without any suspense: "What's the matter, Yoyo?"

Yoyo raised her head, saw the familiar white fur, heard the familiar voice, finally couldn't hold back her emotions, "Wow—" and burst into tears.
