Collect crowd into immortals

It was snowing heavily and the wind was bitterly cold.

In a small wooden house, Xiao Congrui hugged his knees and huddled up.

Put your hands to your mouth, breathing in the heat.

In the space formed by his knees and chest, a white fox and a gray squirrel were lying quietly in his arms.

"so cold!"

"But it doesn't matter! Winter will be over soon! When spring comes, we won't be cold anymore and we will have something to eat!"

Speaking of food, Xiao Congrui rubbed his hands, moved his body, tried hard to find a small leather bag under the bed, and took out a handful of nuts from it.

As if they smelled the food, the little fox and the little squirrel immediately woke up, raised their heads, and looked at Xiao Congrui's fist eagerly.

Seeing this, Xiao Congrui smiled slightly, then opened the nuts and fed the two little things.

"Slow down, don't worry! It's all there! It's all there!"

"Come on, let me throw one and see who can catch it correctly!"

"Come on!"

"Xiao Hui, you are indeed a nut expert, and you can eat them accurately!"

"Come on, Xiaobai, I'll throw one to you too!"

"Hey, I threw it all in front of you, and you couldn't even grab it. You can't do this!"

"Come on, come on, one more!"

"Hey, that's good now! I caught it!"

"Come on, come on, one after another!"

……

While playing around, suddenly, there was a loud roar from outside the door.

Roar!
The roaring tigers in the mountains and forests are astonishingly powerful.

Hearing the roar, the snow-white fox and gray-furred squirrel immediately stopped caring about eating and shrank into Xiao Congrui's arms, trembling.

Seeing this, Xiao Congrui quickly rubbed the fur of the two little ones and comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, he can't come up! He can't come up!"

As he said that, a trace of helplessness flashed in Xiao Congrui's eyes and he opened the door.

In an instant, a world covered in silver appeared before his eyes.

White, white, still white.

What caught Xiao Congrui's eyes were the dry tree trunks and the gloomy sky, in addition to the snowy scene as white as new.

Of course, there is also the beautiful tiger looking up under the tree.

(The cabin is in the tree)
Seeing Xiao Congrui appear, the big and colorful tiger was even more anxious, its eyes were surrounded by green light, and it was obvious that it was very hungry.

But the other party's house is on a tree, and it has a right angle specially designed to block people. Even if the tiger can climb the tree, it can't get up at all and can only pace down below.

on the tree.

Xiao Congrui looked at the unfamiliar and familiar figure under the tree and couldn't help but joked:
"Xiaohu, you've become so thin! When I asked you to collect some food, you refused, so now you're worried! There's no point in being anxious, and my family doesn't have any food left."

If he had the ability, Xiao Congrui would like to save the other party. After all, it is a life, but there is no way, and his family is not enough.

Yes, he is kind-hearted and kind, and he does not want to see a good life perish in front of his eyes, but there is no way, his ability is only so great, and this is all he can do.

After saying that, Xiao Congrui took a deep breath of air, then returned to the house and closed the door.

Out of sight, out of mind. Instead of watching helplessly, it would be better to just go home.

And as the door closed, the colorful tiger under the tree shouted again.

Roar!
However, the food on the tree remained unmoved and still did not come out.

However, this colorful tiger was obviously very patient. He kept pacing for several hours. When he was a little exhausted and extremely hungry, the colorful tiger gave up on this difficult prey and planned to go somewhere else.

And as it walked away, Xiao Congrui, who was watching all this through the crack in the door in the tree, sighed deeply again.

"Hey, there's nothing I can do!"

Helplessly, Xiao Congrui looked up at the dark clouds on the horizon.

He knew that this heavy snowfall was definitely caused by the spell cast by his gentle sister.

The reason may be to see him make a fool of himself.

However, he will never give in.

It's just winter, he will definitely be able to get through it safely.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was two months.

However, two months have passed, and the spring that Xiao Congrui was looking forward to has not arrived, but has become colder.

By this time, the food stored in his home had been exhausted. For this reason, he had to go out to find food, just like the colorful tiger he met before.

However, after a whole winter, everything edible has been eaten up long ago. Where can I find food now?

Xiao Congrui had no choice but to peel off the bark of nearby trees, dig up mushrooms buried in the snow, and take them home to make soup.

Fortunately, occasionally there are still some living insects in the bark of the trees, and occasionally you can dig up some insect corpses in the ground, which is not bad.

But on this day, Fox Xiaobai caught a frozen green snake from nowhere.

When Xiao Congrui saw this, he didn't feel any pity. He stewed it into soup and drank it until he was full.

From then on, Xiao Bai seemed to have an enlightenment and could dig out something from the ground from time to time.

Green snakes, toads, scorpions, mice and other small animals and insects that have lost consciousness due to freezing.

Gray squirrels are no less impressive. They can often dig out bird eggs or even bird carcasses from trees.

Xiao Congrui was naturally not polite about this, and just made soup and cooked it to eat.

But the food was always limited. In the end, they, like countless evil spirits in the mountains and forests, embarked on the road of exile again.

At this time, due to the fact that this winter is too long, more than [-]% of the animals in the forest have been reduced, and only a few lucky ones are still alive.

But unfortunately, in order to survive, these lucky survivors have to step out of their comfort zone again and compete face to face to become the final winner.

As for Xiao Congrui, because of his principle of not actively attacking other animals, he gradually fell to the bottom of this survival sequence.

After all, it was impossible to feed him with just a little squirrel and a little fox.

On this day, the weak Xiao Congrui was once again surrounded by a group of evil wolves.

Due to not eating for a long time, Xiao Congrui was already dizzy from hunger and could hardly walk. How could he be a match for these evil wolves?

In just three or two blows, he was thrown to the ground.

The moment he fell to the ground, he just subconsciously stuffed the little fox and squirrel into his arms to protect them, and then lost consciousness.

A long, long time later, when Xiao Congrui opened his eyes again and woke up, what he saw was a vibrant mountainous field.

The heavy snow has melted, and the pines and cypresses on the edge have sprouted green buds. Even in the ears, there is a chirping sound, which seems to be calling the breath of spring.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Congrui immediately realized that spring is finally here!
After reacting, he seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously put his hand into his arms. Seeing that the furry little guy was still warm, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It's great that the two little guys are alive too!
While murmuring softly, Xiao Congrui raised his head and thanked: "Sister, thank you!"

Xiao Congrui knew that if it weren't for his sister, he would never have survived the disaster unscathed.

Even if he does have protective spells on his body, those ordinary wolves can't do anything to him, but as for Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui in front of him, they may not be able to survive without the help of their sister.

So the credit for all this must go to his sister.

After the thank you, there was no response from the clouds, but Xiao Congrui didn't care at all, and left alone with two pee in his arms.

He had to find something to fill his stomach and comfort his five internal organs.

By the way, there are also two little guys in his arms.

But, what a pity, spring is here, everything is sprouting, where is the food?
There is no fruit on the tree at all!

Even though Xiao Congrui had broken off the buds as much as possible, it was not enough, or even far from enough.

Looking at the two dying little guys in his arms, Xiao Congrui had no choice but to change his mind and break his principle.

He began to consciously hunt other animals and use their blood and meat to quench his thirst and satisfy his hunger.At this point, he seemed to understand that some principles were meant to be broken.

In other words, when a principle is a principle, it is just because it has not yet been broken.

Just like him, he said he loved animals, loved every animal, and was even willing to make friends with animals, but the result was that he was so hungry that his eyesight was dim, his two friends almost starved to death, and even were killed by those he Wild beasts that were once free prey.

Is this what he wants?
Not at all!

What he wants is for him and his friends to grow up happily and live freely, not for those evil wolves and hungry tigers that covet him and even attack him.

After figuring out the key, Xiao Congrui made no secret of it, and soon relied on his indestructible body and sharp spear to establish a large territory in the forest.

In the territory, whether it is a tiger, a black bear, a wild boar, or a giant python, all prey must be offered to him.

Even those low-level monsters that were specially let in were beaten to pieces by Xiao Congrui, and they no longer dared to act recklessly.

For a time, one person, one fox and one squirrel lived a life like a human being.

Every day, countless wild beasts come forward to please him, and endless prey are offered as offerings every day.

The little fox and the little squirrel each became the leader of the group and became the dominant one in the forest.

However, the period of prosperity is always short-lived.

Not long after, when summer came, a severe drought broke out in the forest.

The river stopped flowing, the trees died, and the wild animals that relied on this forest began to flee.

However, this forest is completely an artificial forest, and it is also an artificial forest built on the desert. It is surrounded by endless sand and no grass grows. Where can they escape to?
There was no way, another round of cannibalism began.

Due to the relationship between Xiaobai and Xiaohui, their two groups occupied a lot of resources, so they were the first to be purged.

That day, endless wild wolves, weasels, cheetahs, wild dogs, and vultures rushed into the territories of foxes and squirrels, and the two groups of creatures were completely bloodbathed.

When Xiao Congrui arrived with a spear, Xiao Bai had disappeared, leaving only a white tail. Xiao Hui was also eaten half of his body and died completely.

The two companions were treated like this. The angry Xiao Congrui went crazy and slashed all over the scene with a spear, but there was still no effect.

Instead, the smell of blood here is getting stronger and stronger, attracting all the surrounding carnivorous animals.

Often, just after Xiao Congrui stabbed to death a wild wolf that coveted Xiao Hui's remains, a large number of hunting dogs suddenly appeared and dragged away the body of the vulture that they had stabbed to death.

Once he changed his target and went to pursue him, the body of the wild wolf was taken away again.

All in all, he could care about the head but not the tail, he could care about the top but not the bottom.

In sadness and despair, Xiao Congrui could only shout: "Sister! Sister!"

After the words fell, Chen Congmiao appeared like a savior.

Seeing this, Xiao Congrui quickly asked for help: "Sister, save them quickly, save them quickly!"

Although both friends have lost their lives, Xiao Congrui still holds on to a glimmer of hope. He hopes that his omnipotent sister can help him.

Looking at his pitiful eyes, Chen Congrui shook his head slightly, then waved his sleeves, and in an instant, two lively little animals appeared in Xiao Congrui's hands.

When Xiao Congrui saw this, he was immediately overjoyed.

He didn't expect that his sister actually had the ability to come back from the dead.

Chen Congmiao shook his head.

She didn't have that ability. She just saw that the two little animals were in danger and was afraid that her brother would be sad, so she used the illusion to protect them.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad!

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Hui, it's great that you are still alive!"

After a moment, seeing that his brother's mood had stabilized, Chen Congmiao asked, "Xiao Rui, have you figured it out?"

When Xiao Congrui heard this, he was slightly startled, then he glanced around, looked at the earth that was all stained red with blood, and sighed:
"Understood!

Fearless kindness is useless, people must have the means to protect their own kindness!
If I had still had my magic power at that time and could still deter them, Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui would not have been killed at all! "

Although Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai are still alive, in Xiao Congrui's heart, they have already died once.

Because of his negligence, he died once.

Therefore, he has made up his mind that he will never do this again.

He must have the means to protect himself, his family, and his companions.

Otherwise, being soft-hearted and kind-hearted may actually harm others and yourself.

At this time, the two fathers also appeared.

Looking at his remorseful son, and then at the tragic scene around him, Qingxuan said in a deep voice:
"There is nothing wrong with being kind! There shouldn't be anything wrong either!
But we should analyze clearly what kind of talents we should be kind to and what kind of talents we should be cruel to.

It is indeed a miserable thing to be born as a monster and be eaten and hunted by us humans.

But if we want to live, if we want to eat and drink well, if we want to enjoy life, we must do this.

Monsters are like this, and plants are like this too!

Are the elixirs and herbs in the world meant to be eaten by people when they grow?

Of course not!
But just like monsters, if we don’t eat them, we can’t live, we can’t become immortals, and we can’t cultivate.

And if we cannot practice, then we can only be eaten by monster beasts and monster plants.

So, that's all we can do.

Of course, Dad is not forcing you to change, but he wants you to recognize a fact, that is:
Now you have good food and drink, and you don't lack anything. Naturally, you have the heart to be kind to the aliens, but there are so many people in the world who don't have access to good elixirs or use good magic weapons.

In their concept, monsters are meant to be killed and eaten.

You can't force them, you can't force them, you understand? "

"understand!"

Xiao Congrui subconsciously stroked Erxiao's soft fur and replied firmly.

Seeing this, Qingxuan smiled slightly,
“Actually, what I just said may not be right.

But I know one thing, the most important thing for those of us who cultivate the spiritual path is persistence.

What is right or wrong is different for everyone, and everyone has their own standards of judgment.

Just like your ninth uncle, he spends his time in brothels, seeking romance. In fact, I can't stand this, but it's his business and I won't care too much.

As for you, just think about it yourself.

The most important thing is to keep persisting, don’t just fish for three days and dry the net for two days! "

"Dad, I know, I will hold on!"

"Well! Your grandma made your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake today. Let's go back quickly, otherwise it will be snatched up by others in a moment!"

"Osmanthus cake? Let's go quickly, I haven't had it for a long time!"

Flying into the air, Xiao Congrui suddenly looked back at the dry forest below, and his heart suddenly became heavy.

They were all in trouble because of him!
Just at this moment, his father saw a flash of mana fluctuation, and then the dark clouds covering the entire forest suddenly appeared, and then it poured down with heavy rain.

"Let's go! They should be fine!"

"Oh oh oh, thank you daddy!"

"fine!"

The father and son turned into light and disappeared from the horizon. In the forest below, the plants that had been nourished by the spiritual rain began to rejuvenate and sprout again.

A little deer raised its head, widened its mouth, and tried to eat as much of the spiritual rain in the air as possible.

Moisturized by the spiritual rain, its fur began to become smooth and the wounds on its body began to heal.

On a burnt tree, a dying squirrel suddenly moved its eyes. After a moment, it stood up straight, jumped onto the trunk, and opened its mouth wide, trying to eat the rainwater from higher places.

In the mountain forest, several wolf cubs who were about to starve to death followed their mother to the outside of the cave. They bathed in the rain and completely wiped away the fatigue and hunger in their bodies.

……

Everything seems to be back to normal.

(Originally I wanted to write that as the drought progressed, the two little guys also left Xiao Congrui. When Xiao Congrui's eyes were dim with hunger, they wanted to eat Xiao Congrui's body, but let's think about it. Too cruel and not good!)
