Chapter 18 Autumn Hunting in Progress

After the hunting party continues to advance. The weather is getting colder too. Even when the hunting team was just halfway through, Wangjia Village ushered in the first snow of winter, or the first snow of late autumn.

The first snow falls on the eastern fence, and everything is silent.

The snow seems to be trapping the northern land under its silvery whiteness, and even the sounds of birds and animals in the mountains have become sparse. In such an environment, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and people's hearts are becoming more and more desolate.

They not only hope that their husbands will come home late, but also hope that their husbands will hunt more. Only with enough meat and more money can they survive this winter safely.

Here, not only lack of food and clothing, not only lack of oil and water, but even a small wind and cold can kill people. Not only do they have to buy food, but they also need to prepare for the cold winter, so they need to buy more clothes and cotton.

The yield of cotton is low, so the price of cotton is also extremely high. They would rather use untreated animal skins to keep warm than have the money to buy cotton.

Life is the birth of all things, and suffering is the suffering of the people. In the era of alternation of royal power, the wealthy families are drunk and meaty, and the bones on the road are frozen to death. "Du Fu" is not just talk.

People in the north are still struggling for life.

But there are always people singing and dancing at this time. A dynasty that is about to perish is often like wood that has been gnawed by moths, full of holes, strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

It seems that thousands of dynasties have come to congratulate me on a good harvest. What everyone is singing is that the emperor is wise and the people are prosperous.

But if you look carefully at this world, and then look at this world more carefully, it is all desolate.

Whether it is the sparkling light under thousands of lights, or the dim light under the silence of thousands of snow. This snow in the north has been deeply engraved in the hearts of northerners. It is not only telling everyone that the cold winter is coming, but also telling everyone that life is cheap and scarce in this northern land.

The danger that coexists with opportunity and the waiting that coexists with danger. It is the land in the north that feeds the people in the north, and it is also the people in the north that encounter dangers again and again on the land in the north.

It's like a disaster that's coming in a few years. Everything has a precursor, but the poor would rather believe that it is not true, while the rich never pay attention.

Therefore, natural and man-made disasters, wars and wars are not only the foundation of the dynasty, but also the difficulties of the people.

Hunters were walking in the snow in the mountains. This time it was snowing heavily and the temperature was extremely low. Many birds that had no time to return to the tide fell directly from the trees. Ducks that had no time to return to the flock were also frozen on the lake surface. superior.

These things can be picked up, but they don't have much meat. Picking up these things will greatly reduce their progress.

If they are returning, they will pick up these things, so that they can give their family an extra meal. Their target this time is wild boars, wild sheep, etc. The others cannot be sold at a high price.

Generally, chasing wild boars takes a long time, not only because wild boars are dangerous, but also because when winter comes, wild boars will come outside the mountains and harm the food in the village. This hunting is also to protect the food.

After chasing for nearly three days, this group of people finally encountered a group of about 10 wild boars. The wild boars were not small and had extremely powerful attacks. If they were not chased to exhaustion, they would have no chance of getting close to the wild boars. Ordinary bows and arrows Really uninsertable they consist of a protective layer of rosin and soil mixed up on the surface of the skin and the skin.
