A ray of sunlight penetrated the dark clouds, like an unparalleled sword piercing down from the sky, towering above the earth.
Before long, more sunlight came out from the clouds, shattering the dark clouds in the sky, and a sun emerged from behind the clouds.
It didn't take long before the sky, which had been gloomy for many days, cleared up completely.
"#￥%@!"
A man with frostbite on his face noticed the change in light outside. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help but shouting excitedly.
Then the whole tribe was alarmed.
The people wrapped in animal skins and gathered around the fire ran out of the cave cheering.
Looking at the sun in the sky that had not been seen for a long time, looking at the sky that was finally no longer gloomy, looking at the sunlight that was even more dazzling under the reflection of the snow, those who ran out of the cave jumped and danced with joy, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground facing the sun in the sky, tears streaming down their faces.
The sun finally came out! They finally saw the sun again!
The cold that has caused them so much suffering will be driven away, and they will no longer have to suffer such hardship!
These people basically have frostbite on their faces, hands, and feet. Even those who don't have frostbite have many dry cracks with thick scabs on the edges. If you are not careful and touch them, they will bleed and be accompanied by extremely uncomfortable pain.
In the past, they also suffered from the cold in winter, but it was never as severe as this year.
On the one hand, this year seems to be colder than in previous years. On the other hand, the heavy snow fell when they had still stored enough snow.
Under such circumstances, at the beginning, they had to brave the wind, snow and cold to go to the places where they used to collect food, and bring the fruits that they had not had time to pick and collect back to the tribe.
Things like this have caused them enough suffering.
So much so that one person in the tribe had his ear and two toes frozen off, and he was wailing in pain in the cave.
It was also because of this that the work of harvesting food in the wind and snow was stopped after a few days.
If they continued, most of them would freeze to death before the food stored in the cave was finished.
However, because the snow fell so early, the food stored in the tribe was much less than in previous years.
Even if they added the ones they collected in the wind and snow, it would still not be enough.
Except for the minors in the tribe who are still ignorant, everyone else is deeply worried about the lack of food.
In such circumstances, of course we are very happy to see the sun come out and the weather clear up.
In addition, there is another reason. These people feel that the heavy snow fell too early this year, and the sun coming out at this time should be able to melt the snow that fell too early.
Then the weather will get warmer and they will go back to storing fruit on a large scale to get through the colder months.
The weather won't get cold again until they have stored some more food.
Just as they had hoped, after two consecutive days of sunshine, the snow really showed signs of melting, which made these people even more excited.
Even on the second day, their leader brought some stronger men, wrapped in thick furs, and went to the place where they used to collect and store food. They used sticks in their hands to dig through the melted snow to look for fruits that had fallen on the ground.
On a sunny snowy day, the temperature is not high, and is even lower than when it was cloudy before.
On the one hand, this is because the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water take away the heat. On the other hand, the dark clouds in the sky can act like a quilt, intercepting the heat on the ground.
Although the temperature is lower than before, your body will still be relatively warm if you are directly exposed to sunlight.
And such bright sunshine makes people feel warm in their hearts just by looking at it.
So those who left the cave and looked for food again found it much warmer than before.
As the weather warmed up and some of the food they found was brought back into the cave, these people who were originally very desperate now became full of hope.
They were more convinced that the weather would remain warm for a while, just as they had expected.
But they didn't know that the time that should have belonged to autumn was occupied by the previous cold weather. According to the time of previous years, it was already winter at this time.
Therefore, their joy only lasted for a few days before it was shattered by another heavy snowfall from the sky.
Some people thought the weather would get warmer and went to a place far away from the tribal cave to look for food, but they were frozen to death outside by the sudden snow and wind.
Their companions did not abandon them. They trudged through the snow and braved the cold, and still managed to drag back their frozen companions.
However, there was no funeral, instead they were roasted over a fire...
The snow that fell again was heavy, even heavier than in previous years, and the temperature became even lower.
In some tribes, after getting up in the morning, there would often be one or two people with strange smiles on their faces, and they would never get up again...
Cold, hunger and death, like the dark clouds outside, enveloped them tightly...
The Qingque tribe, which was further south than them, was covered with heavy snow after experiencing a period of cold weather.
The distant mountains, nearby trees, and surrounding fields are all covered with heavy snow, looking all white.
Under the silver blanket, the entire tribe seemed quiet, and most people became lazy.
After the arrival of the Son of God, their winter was no longer like before, when they had nothing to do but stay in the cave, eat, sleep, and go hungry. Now, even in winter, there were still many things to do.
However, compared with the rest of the time, winter is still very leisurely, which is a feeling that can be deeply felt both physically and mentally.
Of course, the tribe seemed so quiet at this time because the children who liked to play snowball fights had not arrived at the battlefield.
If the children arrived at the battlefield, the tranquility after the snow would immediately disappear without a trace amidst the flying snowballs, cheers and laughter.
On the east side of the Qingque tribe, about thirty miles away from the bamboo forest, a small piece of land was cleared.
Some rather shriveled grains of millet were scattered on the ground, and a large straw sieve woven with bamboo was propped diagonally above the grains.
A rope was tied to the lower end of the stick that supported the grass sieve at an angle.
The rope leads all the way to the bamboo forest.
Near the edge of the bamboo forest, there is a low-lying area that is like a trench.
The rope that leads to the bamboo forest stops here.
Han Cheng is now squatting in this low-lying area, holding the rope in his hand.
On his left is Fu Jiang who is squatting rather than standing, on his right is Little Pea who is standing with his head sticking out, and on the other side of Little Pea is the chubby giant panda Tuan Tuan.
The two men, the dog and the panda were now standing or shielding in a row, with only their heads showing. None of them said a word, and all of them stared at the erected sieve.
Such a scene seems to be very funny, but also has a sense of vulgarity that is overwhelming and cannot be shaken off.
Under their gaze, birds that could not find food elsewhere chirped and hopped around the grass sieve, looking around.
Faced with such seemingly unexpected food, most of these birds seemed to be relatively cautious. They did not eat it directly, but stood there and looked around.
People die for money and birds die for food. This saying is absolutely true. In such a season, faced with such food, these birds cannot resist the temptation from delicious food no matter what.
After looking around for a while and finding no danger, the birds happily came under the grass sieve to eat the food.
"dad."
Little Pea lowered her voice and shouted to Han Cheng, reminding him to pull the rope.
"Wait a minute, the two big doves haven't gone in yet."
Han Cheng also lowered his voice and spoke to Little Pea.
Not only did the turtledoves not go in, but also the birds were basically staying at the edge of the grass sieve, and not many of them went in. If the rope was pulled at this time, many birds would fly away, and not many would be caught.
After waiting for a while, the birds finally relaxed their vigilance and came to the grass sieve where there were the most grains to peck at the food on the ground.
The two large turtledoves also joined the ranks.
"Now it's OK."
Han Cheng whispered to Little Pea.
Then he pulled the rope in his hand hard, and the stick supporting the straw sieve fell down. The straw sieve, losing its support, fell down all of a sudden.
The reason why the straw sieve is buckled so quickly is, on the one hand, because the straw sieve is not raised high and the distance between it and the ground is small.
另外一方面，就是在草筛的上部，韩成给绑上了两块砖。
有了这样的重量加持，在失去了树棍支撑之后，它往下扣的当然快。
树棍拉倒、草筛扣下，这些沉浸在美食之中的鸟雀立刻就被惊动。
靠近竹筛边缘、反应快的鸟扑楞着翅膀惊慌失措的飞走了，那些吃的太过于忘我的鸟，则被竹筛直接扣在了地上，顿时就是一片的惊恐焦急的叫声，并有不少鸟都在努力的扑棱翅膀，想要从竹筛里面飞出来。
但这是不能的事情，那样大的草筛，上面还压着两块砖，它们怎么可能会飞的起来，只能是在里面胡乱的扑腾罢了。
“哇哇~！”
“呜呜呜~”
在草筛扣下，诸多鸟儿惊慌失措的时候，小豌豆嘴里哇哇叫着便从这里冲了出去，一同冲出去的还有兴奋的不已的狗子福将，以及圆滚滚的团团。
韩成手里拎着一个大大的袋子跟在后面。
到了草筛边上之后，没有急着将草筛掀起，而是先用之前放在不远处的砖坯，围着草筛在垒了一大约三十厘米高低的一圈，在一个地方留出了一个大约二十厘米宽窄的口子，并将手里的袋子在这里撑开，将整个缺口都给完全包裹进去。
做好这些之后，韩成才将竹筛从留有口子的这一侧掀起。
在他将竹筛掀起的第一时间里，便有一些被吓得不轻的鸟，顺着这个口子钻进了袋子里面。
至于那些没有第一时间钻进袋子里的鸟，没用太久的功夫，便也都乖乖的钻进了袋子里。
这倒不是因为这袋子有多大的吸引力，而是因为小豌豆、福将、团团几个家伙对着竹筛又是拍又是喊叫的。
被竹筛扣住的那些鸟，透过竹筛底部上的孔，能够看到外面的景象。
被这三个恐惧的家伙一起轰炸，它们要是不往袋子里面钻才是怪事。
待到竹筛下面没有鸟了之后，韩成将袋子的口一握，所有被扣住的鸟就都跑不了了。
这下收获不小，加上那两只大斑鸠，大大小小得有十几只之多，按照这样的趋势下去，再捉上几次，就能凑够一顿够不少人吃的晚餐了。
当然，如果是用来煮汤喝的话，单单是现在捉到的这些，就足可以让部落里的所有人都吃上一顿美味的百雀羹了……
对于捉到的这些鸟雀，韩成最喜欢的就是那两只大斑鸠。
这东西除了羽毛的颜色之外，其余的地方跟鸽子长得都非常的相像，吃起来味道也差不多，在鸟类之中个头不算最小的，身上有肉。
不管是烤着吃，还是煮着吃，味道都非常的不错。
不过韩成最喜欢的吃法是，先将之煮了，把肉剔出来，撕成一条一条的，再用煮斑鸠的汤混着这些肉丝下面条吃。
不过这种吃法，现在也只能先想着。
鸟雀这些东西，在后世的时候，在被人各种吃，以及山林等繁衍生息的地方遭受破环、不断缩减的情况下，数量在急剧减少，大多都成为了保护动物。
但在现在这个原始时代，相对于数量庞大的、种类齐全的各种鸟类而言，人类才更像是需要被保护的珍惜物种的存在。
青雀部落名为青雀，并且所祭祀的神灵，以及图腾都是青雀，但部落里的人对于这各种鸟类，并不友善。
这主要是这些鸟类，在庄稼即将成熟，以及收获之后，总是喜欢过来吃庄稼。
在这样的情况下，青雀部落的人要是对这些鸟类有好感才是怪事。
不过，虽然如此，却并不妨碍他们继续对青雀图腾进行崇拜。
因为他们所崇拜的，是被神子进行加工之后，显得惟妙惟肖、以图画、雕塑、与刺绣的形式而存在的青雀，不是那些一到庄稼成熟，就来他们这里疯狂打秋风的鸟雀。
将这个装着鸟雀的袋子搭在福将的背上，用绳子稍微的捆绑了一下，使其不至于掉落之后，韩成对福将指了指部落所在的方向，福将便迈开四条腿颠颠的往部落跑去，在雪地里留下串串梅花。
福将离开之后，韩成便和小豌豆一起，重新布置陷阱。
将砖坯移开、竹筛支起、重新撒上干瘪的谷子这些。
把这些弄好，两人一熊猫重新在竹林里面躲好之后，福将也从部落里跑了回来。
背回去的袋子已经空了，而且袋子也转移了位置，由它的背转移到了口中，被人叠好的那种。
韩成将袋子从福将的口中接过，而后伸手在福将的脑袋上摸摸。
被摸了脑袋的福将高兴的尾巴一摇一摇的。
“儿子，这次你来拉。”
韩成将绳子交到了小豌豆的手里。
小豌豆接过绳子，兴奋又紧张。
经历了刚才的那一遭经历之后，好一阵儿筛子周围都没有鸟雀出现。
这样的情况持续了一阵儿之后，开始有鸟雀抵不住美食的魅力，从别处飞了过来，落在竹筛边缘，继续进行试探。
有一只鸟雀在这里，很快就有其余鸟雀陆续飞过来。
“爸，拉吗？”
小豌豆看着那些鸟雀，小脸绷得紧紧的，看的出来，他显得比较紧张和忐忑。
“你自己看着办，觉得可以拉了就拉，不可以拉了就等等。”
韩成没有直接给出答案，而是又将这个问题丢给了小豌豆，让他自己看着办。
得到这样的回答之后，小豌豆有些拿不准主意，看看那些鸟雀，想要拉绳子，但又下不了决心。
遂转过脑袋求助似的看着韩成，想要从自己的爸爸这里得到帮助。
面对小豌豆求助的目光，韩成依然没有给出什么答案，只是伸手在小豌豆的脑袋上摸摸，笑着低声道：“你自己看着来，爸爸不管。”
从自己老爹这里得不到什么答案之后，小豌豆只好再次转过脑袋，瞪着乌溜溜的眼睛去看二三十米开外的竹筛，以及竹筛周遭的鸟雀。
看了一会儿之后，猛地拉动了手里的绳子。
绳子扯动，木棍跌倒，压着砖头的竹筛扣下来。
几乎与之同时发生的，是鸟雀扑楞着翅膀惊慌的飞走。
牵动绳子之后，两人一狗一熊猫的奇怪组合，便飞奔着朝着竹筛而去。
过去之后，小心脏扑通扑通跳个不停的小豌豆先趴倒竹筛上面，透过细细密密的竹筛孔往里面看。
这一眼看下去之后，小豌豆差点没有哭出来。
因为被竹筛扣住的只有一只没多大的小鸟，其余的鸟都飞走了，和自己老爹刚才的时候相比，差距不是一般的大。
“爸爸~”
如同之前那样，将这只小鸟从竹筛下面弄到袋子里之后，小豌豆看着韩成又是委屈，又是忐忑的喊了一声。
“没事，这是你第一次做这这样的事情，当初爸爸这样捉鸟的时候，半天都没有捉到一只，你已经比爸爸当初做的好了。”
韩成笑着对自家的儿子说道。
随后父子俩个人便一起动手将这里整理好，再次来到竹林这里隐藏好。
“爸爸。”
小豌豆将手里的绳子往韩成手里送，刚才的打击对着孩子有些大，让他有些不敢再做这样的事情了。
韩成没有接，笑着摇头道：“你继续拉，刚才做的已经很好了，多拉拉就好了。”
小豌豆只能继续握着绳子，只是心情与刚才比起来，更加的忐忑。
“你想想，刚才为什么只扣住了一只鸟，其余的鸟都飞了。”
韩成看着自家儿子笑着问道。
小豌豆伸手摸摸自己的脑瓜，忽闪着眼睛。
过了一会儿开口道：“我、我拉的太早了。”
“那这次该怎么做？”
韩成笑望着小豌豆说道。
“晚、晚点拉。”小豌豆有些不确信的数道。
“嗯，按照你想的去做。”
韩成点头对小豌豆的话做出了肯定。
这个年龄段的孩子，对于不少事情已经有了一些自己的认知，对于一些事情已经能够理解了一些，所以韩成就借这样的机会，对小家伙进行一些教育。
或多或少，总能让小家伙知道一些东西。
随着这里恢复平静，渐渐的再次有鸟雀从别处陆续的飞过来。
一番试探之后，开始到竹筛的下方去吃下面的谷子。
远远的看过去，大约已经有八九只鸟雀来到了竹筛下方，而且还是比较靠近中间的位置。
同时，在外围还有十几只鸟雀在那里徘徊。
按照韩成的看法，此时完全可以拉动绳子，将竹筛扣下来了，但是小豌豆却一直没有没有拉。
韩成知道，这是他吸取了上去拉的过早的教训所造成的，因此上也并不催促。
和逮捕一些鸟回去满足一下口腹之欲相比，韩成更加在意的是对于小豌豆的教育。
一些鸟雀还没有被他放在心上。
小豌豆小脸绷得紧紧的，带着手套、握着绳子的手心里居然出现了一些汗，两只眼睛紧紧的盯着竹筛那里。
他在等着外围的那些鸟雀来到竹筛的下面，这是这些鸟雀就是不怎么往里面进。
Either they walked in, pecked twice and then quickly walked out, or one bird walked in and the rest walked out.
He had always wanted to see more birds coming in, but that never happened.
So he just waited like that but nothing happened.
But the effect was not good. After a while, the situation he was waiting for not only did not happen, but the birds also flew away one after another.
This is because the shriveled millet scattered under the bamboo sieve was basically eaten up by the birds.
"puff!"
The longer he waited, the fewer birds there were. When there were only three left, Little Pea finally couldn't wait any longer and pulled the rope in his hand...
