doomsday survival

Chapter 30 Thief
In a mountain depression by the forest, two people squatted on the ground, their bodies shivering in the cold wind. Next to it, a black-backed dog squatted, watching the two of them busy.

"Sister, how long will it take?" The child's voice was trembling with cold.

"Don't worry, it will be fine soon." My sister kept rubbing a wooden stick with both hands, and then asked, "Is it cold, my sister will give you the clothes."

"Don't!" The child hurriedly stopped his sister, holding his shoulders with his hands, trying to calm down the trembling of his body, and at the same time trying to block the blowing wind, and said, "I'm not cold, the fire will start immediately."

The elder sister didn't speak, and speeded up her hands.

"It's done!" The child cheered.

Following the child's voice, a wisp of smoke curled up, and red stars flickered on the wood under the stick.

The child handed a piece of birch bark to the red star, bent down and blew gently with his mouth, and the elder sister also speeded up.After a while, the birch bark started to burn, and the child held the flame with his hands and handed it under the firewood pile beside him. The raging bonfire gradually rose, and the two breathed a sigh of relief.

The bonfire reflected on the frozen red faces of the two people, making the redness even more gorgeous.Langya beside him also came over, using the bonfire to drive away the cold. Suddenly, Langya raised his ears and looked around.

Seeing Langya's actions, the child listened attentively. After a while, he turned to his sister and said, "Sister, listen, it sounds like someone's voice."

"No way?" the elder sister touched the child's head and said, "There should be no tribes here, and no one takes things from the old district. And even if there were, who would come out in such a cold day."

Seeing that his sister didn't believe it, the child said affirmatively: "Really, listen, what padded jacket?"

My sister listened to it, and there was indeed a voice mixed in the wind that could be faintly heard, although it was not tactful but high-spirited.

"It seems that there is a real voice." My sister also confirmed.

"A quilted jacket, what is a quilted jacket?" The child raised his immature face and asked his sister, "It seems to be saying something about wearing a cotton jacket when it snows."

"My sister hasn't seen it, so I don't know." My sister replied helplessly, "I heard that uncle said it, but he probably hasn't seen it either."

"Sister, do you think the padded jacket can be as warm as our fur? Will that person freeze to death wearing a padded jacket? I'm cold even wearing a fur." ​​The child's questions followed one after another.

My sister didn't know how to answer, so she said vaguely, "I guess not?" There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

"Sister, do you think we can go find that tribe tomorrow?" the child said to his sister expectantly.

"This..." My sister seemed a little hesitant, "Uncle said that some tribes eat people, just like those zombies."

"Really?" The child was a little frightened and shrank his shoulders, but there was a trace of regret in his tone, "Didn't uncle say that only when people unite together can they not be eaten by zombies?"

Looking at the child who doesn't understand the sinister heart, the elder sister was speechless for a while, and the two fell into silence.

There was still an intermittent sound in the wind.

"It's snowing...padded jacket...straw hat..."

The next morning, the snow was still falling down.Shi Jian opened the door and took a look at the silver-clad world outside, then turned to Xiaomeng Xiaowei who was huddled by the stove and said, "Let's go out later today? If you don't talk, I will take it as your agreement."

After finishing speaking, he closed the wooden door wrapped in animal skins, went back to the stove and sat down to tease Xiaomeng and Serena.

"Bah-"

Xiaomeng fell down with the sound, but Serena was half a beat behind.Shi Jian flicked Serena on the head as punishment, and Serena protested.

"Protest is invalid! Live!"

As soon as the words fell, the two little guys jumped up at the same time, stretching their heads to search for Shi Jian's hand.Shi Jian handed them two pieces of jerky, and the little ones started eating immediately.

"I said you two are too good to eat, so I just ate." Shi Jian complained to the two lynxes.

In this way, it will soon be noon.Shi Jian wakes up the two reluctant little guys and goes out to check the trap.

The snow outside was so deep that the calves were gone. Xiaomeng and Serena, who had never seen snow before, were a little dazed when they saw that everything was white.

Shi Jian bent down and took a snowball and threw it on Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng jumped over immediately, and Serena followed behind to play with Shi Jian.

After playing with them for a while, Shi Jian led the two little guys towards the first trap.

It may be the reason for the snow, the noose was buried under the snow, the animals did not come out to move, and the prey was not caught after several traps.

Finally, a hare was caught in a trap, which was the first harvest of the day.Shi Jian no longer has any illusions about today's harvest, and there are still three traps left, so there is probably nothing to do.

As expected, the remaining two traps had nothing.But the last trap caught Shi Jian by surprise.

The trap must have been fired, the noose was retracted, but there was nothing, where did the prey go?
Shi Jian scratched his head and carefully observed the ground, but he couldn't see any traces, and the heavy snow covered everything.

"Damn it?" Shi Jian shuddered, "Forget it, maybe it was eaten by some beast."

If you can't think of it, don't want to, so as not to worry about it.Shi Jian walked home with Xiaomeng Xiaowei.

The hands of the clock moved forward slowly in the fluttering snow, and the day passed unknowingly.

The next day, the snow finally stopped.

After breakfast, Shi Jian continued to set off with Xiaomeng Xiaowei to collect prey.It's a pity that nothing was found, but just like yesterday, the prey of the two fired traps were taken away.

Shi Jian was so angry that he jumped up and down, cursing loudly: "Who? Stand up! Dare to steal things from labor and capital? You don't want to live anymore, do you?!" While cursing, he waved his samurai sword.

Except for the echo in the forest, there is no sound.

Shi Jian yelled and cursed, carefully observing the ground.It can be seen that something has been swept on the ground, and the sweep is very careful, almost no traces can be seen.But no matter how careful he was, there would inevitably be omissions. Shi Jian found a shallow footprint in one place.Shi Jian squatted down and looked carefully. This footprint looked like a dog's footprint, but Shi Jian had never seen a dog on the mountain before, so the owner of the footprint should be a fox or a wolf, both of the canine family!
Shi Jian seems to have heard people say that a cunning fox will sweep away its own footprints with its tail when walking on the snow to prevent hunters from chasing them.As for the wolf, it should be a group activity, so the possibility is not great.

Shi Jian immediately made a judgment, this must be a cunning fox, but no matter how good a hunter is, he can't beat a cunning fox, oh, no, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't beat a good hunter.Although I am not a good hunter, but Xiaomeng and Serena must be half of each other, plus myself, can't beat a fox?

Moreover, the little lynxes have grown very big now, more than half a meter long, and they are flexible. Hitting a fox should be like hitting a dog's ears!
The more Shi Jian calculated his chances of winning, the better he said to Xiaomeng Xiaowei: "Come on, go beat the fox with brother, when the time comes, I will ask for the skin when you eat meat!"

As soon as the little guys heard the meat, their eyes gleamed blue, eager to eat it right away, and walked forward closely behind Shi Jian.

Shi Jian walked forward in the direction of the fox's footprints, keeping his eyes on the ground along the way, trying to find clues.

He kept scolding Xiaomeng and Xiaowei in his mouth: "Tell me, why are you two not dogs? If dogs can also smell and chase after them, as for brother, do you use your eyes to look for them here?"

Xiaomeng Xiaowei didn't know why, and followed behind Shi Jian and let him scold him. Suddenly, Xiaowei rushed out, and Xiaomeng also followed closely behind.

Shi Jian looked around, and was so frightened that he almost turned around and ran away. This thief is not a fox, but a wolf!

Although the wolf was not big, its front paws should be able to reach Shi Jian's shoulders when it stood up. Its back was black, its limbs were yellow, and its eyes were dotted with two spots of yellow hair. It looked like it had four eyes.

Shi Jian stood still at a distance, and thought to himself: "No wonder everyone calls wolf dogs wolf dogs, this wolf really looks like a black back!"

He wanted to call Xiaomeng and Xiaowei back, but he didn't expect that Xiaowei had already rushed to the wolf's side and rushed forward, Xiaomeng followed closely behind and also rushed over.

The wolf whimpered softly, and bit Serena's neck. Serena was so flexible that she was able to turn around in the pounce, and dodge the wolf's blow diagonally to the left.And Xiaomeng had already jumped up to the back of the wolf, grabbed the back of the wolf's neck in one bite, and shook it desperately.

The wolf screamed in pain, and shook his body desperately to shake off Xiaomeng, but Xiaowei rushed up and bit the wolf's hind leg.

Seeing that the wolf was at a disadvantage, Shi Jian didn't care whether the wolf was a stray or a sentry, so he raised his knife and killed it.

At this moment, a childish voice sounded.

"Don't! Don't hurt my fangs!"

　The heroine appeared, and Shi Jian's solo show finally finished.Tickets, I want all kinds of tickets!
