The winter on this continent does not come gradually like the world we live in, but comes suddenly and unexpectedly.
The day before, everyone was hunting in the forest. When they woke up, they found that the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.
Winter here is like this, without any preparation or signal.
Chen Miaoyi hid in the house she had just renovated. The foundation was made of stone, the walls were made of wood, and the bed was covered with a thick plush blanket and a quilt that she had made in a hurry.
There was dried bacon hanging on the window, and several large wooden boxes were filled with storable food. She was about to face her first winter here.
At this point, one has to say how blessed it is to have three furry children, they are simply moving hot water bottles, and she has three more.
The animals were afraid of the cold. Looking out the window, there was not a single trace of animals on the ground. It was as if the entire continent had frozen overnight.
Foxes grow so fast. I don’t know if Fu Guang’s nest of snake eggs have hatched. Such cold weather must have affected the hatching of the eggs.
Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, covering the branches, the ground, and the lake. No place was not white. She knew it was cold here, but she didn't expect it to be this cold.
"Mother, what is this?"
The little foxes were so excited when they saw snow for the first time that they wanted to run out to see it. This flower-like thing, falling from the sky, could actually dye the entire earth with color.
"It's snow, cold snowflakes. Do you want to go out?"
She quickly opened the door, and the little foxes, with their thick fur, ran out in a flash. A cold wind blew in, and she quickly closed the door and started a fire.
Not long after, the door was knocked again. The three little foxes couldn't stand such cold weather at all. It was the first time they had encountered such cold weather since they were born.
Drinking hot soup, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky, with lovely children around, this kind of life is quite interesting.
Heavy snow fell for many days in a row, and no animals appeared during this period. According to the records in the parchment, winter will come after the bubble fruit ripens.
If it is not in this order, it means that the winter of this year will be very, very cold.
The bubble fruit is a small red fruit used to make wine. Of course, not many people in mainland China know how to make wine now.
She had long observed that the bubble fruits had ripened, fallen to the ground and rotted, and winter had not yet come, so she led the people to hunt on a large scale and make charcoal to resist the cold winter.
Most of those unintelligent little animals will be frozen to death in this cold winter. It would be better to kill them in advance and let them die in their own stomachs. Maybe these little animals will even thank her.
The tiger tribe, which couldn't bear it anymore, finally came to help. The heavy snow never stopped. The tiger tribe had the biggest appetite but the least food storage. Such heavy snow was seldom seen once in 100 years.
Haru came when the snow was a little lighter. Fortunately, the place where she lived was not far from the three tribes. It was in the center and there were huge rocks behind her to block the wind.
Otherwise, Haru might not be able to arrive safely, and the Tiger Tribe would have to change its dynasty.
"Saint! Please save my people!"
As he entered the room, he was surrounded by warm air and his bruised lips gradually felt better.
With a thud, he knelt down. The honest tiger didn't have so many tricks. He only knew that he was the leader of the tiger tribe and he should protect and save his people at any cost.
"Let's drink some ginger soup first."
Chen Miaoyi gave him a bowl of hot soup to prevent him from freezing to death.
Haru gulped down the drink, and felt an inexplicable comfort and relief in his body. His eyes lit up slightly. The saint's things really contained energy!
Although the soup doesn't taste very good, it feels like drinking medicine.
Even when drinking soup, he knelt on the ground.
"I asked you to bring your tribe and submit to me, but you refused to listen. Now you know how much you will have to pay, don't you?"
Haru's face showed pain, and his tribesmen were no longer able to hold on.
"Saint, I am willing to submit to you with my people. From now on, we will obey your orders. I only ask that you help us overcome this difficult time."
He felt sorry for the decision he had made. If it hadn't been his wrong decision, how could anyone in the tribe have died!
"I am the Saint of the continent. I am here to protect the entire continent. You think too much. People of the Saint Clan will never make decisions based on their own selfish desires."
Although he looked a bit rough, she could still look at him. Facing the honest Haru, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
"I accept your surrender, but you have to become my harem, do you understand?"
Haru looked puzzled, "Harem?"
Why are you so serious? You make the non-serious people look like me. Haru looks too much like the wild and rough guy who is very good at farming in the period novels.
"It's just like Fu Guang and Hu Zhan. He's a male who can only mate with me... Do you understand?" She tried her best to describe it so that Haru could understand it better.
Haru's face suddenly turned red. Saint, the Saint actually had such an idea!
It turns out that the saint really coveted him, not the tiger tribe!
"I, I, I"
Haru stuttered, unsure how to respond to her question. Logically, he should have agreed to save his people, but he couldn't even form a complete sentence.
Okay, a rough guy on the outside, but a puppy on the inside?
“You are a hero for sacrificing yourself for the tribe, and you cannot mate with any female except when I need you.
Can you stay in your own group and follow my arrangements?
Apart from me, there is no female on the entire continent who can bear your offspring."
In such places, females often have a higher status than males because females can reproduce, but the leader needs to fight for territory, and if he is not careful, he may even lose his life.
Therefore, the leaders are all males, who eat well and dress well, but it is the females in the tribe who have sufficient resources.
"Yes." Haru said with a red face. His mind was in a mess. It was all about the saint, mating, offspring, little tigers, and other things.
The look he gave the Saint was no longer pitiful and pleading as before, but rather... shy.
"Okay, bring some people to get charcoal, and I'll teach you how to make it. Whether you can survive this winter depends on your courage."
"As for food, I will take you to borrow from the other two tribes. When winter is over, you must return more food."
