Huddled under the animal skin, the man's calves are short, but the cover is tight, but he still feels the biting cold.
No wonder it’s called the cold season. My mother-in-law feels like she’s facing a formidable enemy.
In such extreme weather, there is no fire to keep warm, and no cold-proof clothing, so we can only rely on our bodies to hold on.
They were no longer in the original cave, but in a deeper one, just below the original cave.
Lin Yan discovered that before the cold season came, Aniang had dug out three caves bit by bit with sharp spikes polished from stones.
The deepest one is used to live in, and the smaller one on the side is used to store food and water.
Most of them are sun-dried wild fruits and dried meats, as well as dried animals. A large pit was dug in the remaining space, covered with smooth stones, and covered with a layer of extremely large leaves. It is the canna leaf that can be seen everywhere here. One leaf is very large, about 20 centimeters wide and 50 centimeters long. It is shiny and thick and has many uses.
Before the cold season came, her mother-in-law filled the pit with water.
The other largest cave contains various debris, including various stones, bark, leaves, hay, etc.
It turns out that the cave is closest to the ground, and the entrance is sealed with stones, leaving a small gap for ventilation.
A lot of sand was piled inside, and a pit was dug. Later, Lin Yan discovered that it was a toilet.
He didn't know how long it would take for the cold season to pass. Looking at such a crude and dark cave, Lin Yan became even more autistic.
She didn't know if she could survive the cold season.
Lin Yan asked Pang Bao to record the time. Day by day, she slept all day except when she was breastfeeding.
The same goes for Hua Hong, who is basically sleeping.
I really couldn't sleep, so I went to the cave next door to rub tree bark. The rubbed bark will be softer and can be used as a rope.
Lin Yan couldn't see clearly what A Niang was doing, but Pang Bao knew and reported to her every day.
When the water in the pit is almost exhausted, Hua Hong will open the stone at the entrance of the cave, bring back some ice cubes and snow, and stack them in the pit to turn into water.
During these torturous days, Lin Yan became more and more numb.
Just when she thought she couldn't stand it anymore, one day the temperature started to rise, and in just two or three days it was the hot season again.
Huahong said in surprise: "My dear, the hot season is here and we have survived it. Mom will take you out."
Lin Yan became energetic instantly.
God knows she has thoughts of not wanting to live several times a day. The only thing she is lucky about is that she is still a little baby and has milk to drink and does not need to eat raw meat jerky.
If she had been like her mother, she would have killed herself long ago.
The smell in the cave is mixed, and the various smells are mixed together, which is really deadly.
I don't know if she stayed there for a long time, but her sense of smell became more and more dull, and it took her three difficult months.
That's right, Pang Bao kept time every day, and Lin Yan was sure that the cold season had passed ninety days.
When he breathed in the fresh air and felt the warmth of the sun, Lin Yan felt like he had gone from hell to heaven in an instant.
She was so eager to breathe free and bathe in the sunshine.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Yan shouted happily: "I'm finally alive."
I thought I would say "Ahhhh" as before, but unexpectedly it changed this time.
She can talk.
Huahong hugged her little darling and said happily: "My darling, you can talk now."
"Uh-huh, grandma." Lin Yan burst into tears. It was so difficult. After more than five months, she was finally able to speak.
"My dear, you are so smart. You can say so much at once."
Huahong was surprised and happy. The two children before were jumping from word to word, but Lin Yan could speak a complete sentence fluently as soon as he opened his mouth.
This makes Hua Hong even more convinced that Guai Guai is born different.
She laughed and said: "My dear, grandma's little darling, smart and good-looking. Come on, grandma will take you to see the water."
Lin Yan nodded immediately and said obediently: "Mom, let's go, let's go quickly."
This was her first opportunity to leave the cave five meters away, and she couldn't miss it.
Huahong tapped her forehead, and her rough fingers touched the baby's delicate skin. She immediately restrained herself and only touched her gently.
After being exposed to the sun for more than a month before the cold season, little Guaiguai turned a lot darker. After a cold season, it has returned to its white and tender appearance.
Huahong hugged Lin Yan and ran all the way towards the Sun River.
Lin Yan's eyes were twitching, and he kept looking around, trying to see clearly what the land of life looked like.
There are plants and trees everywhere, with some buds just sprouting and bright green.
Most of the branches are covered with dry leaves that are falling.
This is a relatively flat place with overgrown weeds and tall trees everywhere.
Although it looks like a wild place, there are still traces of human life, with various stones scattered throughout.
The largest number of stone slabs are used by the Sun tribe people to dry dried meat and wild fruits.
After walking about a thousand meters, they arrived at the Sun River.
This is a very wide river, sparkling in the sun and flowing slowly.
The ice on the river is melting.
You can vaguely see trees on the other side of the Sun River.
A beautiful and peaceful scene, like a picture scroll.
Lin Yan had never seen such beautiful scenery before and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."
Huahong nodded, "It's beautiful. Little darling, the cold season has just passed and there are fish in the water. Mom, go catch them. You lie here and be a good boy."
Lin Yan nodded, "Okay, grandma."
As soon as Huahong left, Lin Yan immediately turned over and crawled towards the river using both hands and feet.
You can't see the beautiful scenery at all while lying down, the field of vision is completely blocked by the grass.
He found a place with a lot of river sand and few weeds. Lin Yan lay on his stomach and played with the sand for a long time.
She suddenly discovered that being a baby was fun.
By the time Huahong came over with a big fat fish, Lin Yan had turned into a little clay figurine.
Huahong put the fish aside, picked up her daughter, and went to the water to clean it.
Although the temperature has risen, the ice has not completely melted and the water is still very cold.
Lin Yan was so excited that he couldn't stop trembling.
"Be good, you'll be fine soon."
Lin Yan took the opportunity and said, "Mom, I gave myself a name, Lin Yan."
Huahong was stunned for a moment, then quickly accepted, "Okay, my little boy's name will be Lin Yan."
In fact, people in the tribe just choose names at random, and everyone gets used to it by calling them names.
When Huahong was little, she was also called Guaiguai. Later, when she became wiser, she saw that red flowers are beautiful, but there were many people named Honghua in the tribe, so she named herself Huahong.
Lin Yan said that she was just surprised that her daughter knew how to name herself at such a young age.
"Lin Yan, it sounds nice to me. My little darling will be called Lin Yan from now on. My little darling has his own name too. Auntie will call you Lin Yan from now on."
As for the meaning of the name, the bonus is not considered at all.
Lin Yan didn't expect it to be so easy. He was stunned for a moment and said cheerfully: "Mom, there are so many people by the river, why do we live so far away?"
She found out that many people lived not far from the river bank, so she asked this question.
Their cave is more than a thousand meters away from the river bank.
Huahong quickly washed Lin Yan clean and wrapped him in animal skin. "The place on the river bank is owned. Only powerful people can live here."
"How can he be considered a powerful person?" Lin Yan asked curiously.
