The village was filled with joy because the polar bear had brought them salt.
Ningmao was very unhappy.
"Don't you feel very resentful?"
"Hmm." Ning Mao nodded; he was indeed very unwilling.
It was something his brother found, but it ultimately led to the creation of the polar bear.
Do you think the polar bear went too far?
That's not it. He knew that Uncle White Bear was kind-hearted, and even though he was sharp-tongued, he was the most soft-hearted.
It is indeed difficult for the villagers to obtain salt.
"I just feel like my brother was forced to take out that salt." Ningmao was already twelve years old, and even though he looked small, he understood the importance of salt to their village.
It was donated by his brother, but no one knew about it.
"Cat, sometimes, showing off isn't necessarily a good thing."
"elder brother?"
"There are just too many bad people in this world. What do you think they would do to us if they knew that my brother had a way to get salt?"
"them?"
They'll definitely arrest the two brothers and interrogate them about how they got the salt.
Once they obtain the method, the two brothers will naturally have no reason to exist.
Ningmao gasped.
He finally understood what his brother meant.
The real meaning of that sentence, "They are really too weak."
It wasn't because they couldn't do anything for the villagers, nor because they were afraid the villagers would look down on them, but because they were afraid their safety would be threatened.
Too many people in the village hate them.
Even the village chief didn't like them.
"elder brother?"
Ningmao's eyes reddened.
"How can we become stronger? I want to become stronger, brother, I want to protect you."
Tears welled up in the cat's big eyes, and Ning Hong stroked Ning Mao's head, saying, "Yes, we will definitely become stronger and more powerful."
Because in the future, even more difficulties and obstacles await them.
That night, at midnight, Bai Xiong arrived at the Ning family's house carrying a whole bag of things.
"This is what we got from exchanging salt today, it's all for you."
"Uncle Bai, what are you doing? I already told you, all that salt is for you."
“Hongze, listen to me, winter is coming soon. The most important thing now is to store up more food. This is not the season for saving face and suffering.” If it were spring, even if they really had no food, they could go to the mountains to dig for wild vegetables, but that wouldn’t be possible in winter. With heavy snow covering everything, even the deepest forests would be covered in white snow, and there would be no way to find food.
It must be fate.
His first meeting with Ning Hongze was also on a snowy day.
That winter was particularly cold.
Ning Mao was still quite young at the time, so Ning Hong would usually tie him to her body to take care of him.
At such a young age, he was carrying a child even smaller than himself on his back. Almost everyone in the village would help him in some way when they saw this.
When he saw him, he seemed to be extremely hungry.
They squatted on the ground and grabbed snow to eat.
One handful after another, I ate them while shivering from the cold.
What shocked him most was that he stood up, shook his somewhat stiff hands and feet, and carefully took out the steamed bun from his arms and fed it to the child on his back little by little.
It's quite remarkable that these two children have grown up so much.
"Uncle Bai, I really have to thank you back then." Ning Hong retrieved this memory from her mind.
"Oh dear, your Uncle Bai is just a rough man, don't speak so formally." Bai Xiong said embarrassedly, reaching out to pat Ning Hongze on the back, causing Ning Hongze to stumble and almost fall.
Damn, Uncle Bai's strength is just too great.
His back is probably swollen.
Ning Hong felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.
It must be said that although the original owner was somewhat weak, he was indeed a good older brother. He went to great lengths for his younger brother.
In the end, Ning Hong accepted the food.
He and Ning Mao'er dug a small underground tunnel in their house and stored all their food inside.
This is the winter ration for the two brothers.
As for their daily routines, the two brothers continued to perform their duties as usual.
Sometimes you reap a great harvest, and sometimes you get nothing at all.
Moreover, there is one more crucial thing.
The weather is getting colder.
But the two brothers didn't have any clothes to wear.
The people here usually wrap themselves in animal skins to get through the winter.
Ideally, it should be animal hide with fur still attached.
But neither of them had a single item.
You can't exactly use the skin of a duck-dragon as clothing.
Ideally, you should capture a wolf-like beast or a long-eared beast.
Among low-grade ingredients, only these two animals have thick fur.
Of course, the pelt of the Saber Tiger Beast is the best. However, the Saber Tiger Beast is level six, and they are no match for it. Even the polar bear, if it encountered the Saber Tiger Beast, could only fight to a draw and could not determine a winner. They might even be injured in the process.
"Cat, we need to capture some long-eared beasts."
Wolf-like beasts are level two food items. They resemble wild wolves, but are slightly weaker in combat than wild wolves, though definitely stronger than cats.
So after thinking about it, I decided to go and capture the Long-eared Beast.
"Brother, look."
Just as Ning Hong was pondering how to capture the long-eared beast, Ning Mao suddenly exclaimed and pulled out several pieces of long-eared beast fur from a leather bundle.
"Brother, we have something to keep warm."
The long-eared beast's fur was extremely soft to the touch, and Ning Hong touched it with her hand, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
"Cat, where did this animal skin package come from?"
"I found it at the door."
It was thrown right in front of their door; they saw it as soon as they opened the door.
"This should have been sent by Uncle Bai."
Uncle Bai is so kind. In order to prevent them from refusing him, he secretly delivered it over, not afraid that someone else would take it.
"Yes, Uncle Bai is really kind. When I grow up, I will definitely repay Uncle Bai."
"You must remember what you said today." Ning Hong then draped a piece of fur over Ning Mao's body. The weather was getting colder and colder, and this linen garment offered no protection against the cold.
It's windy today.
Snowflakes began to fall faintly.
It drifts in the air.
Today is Minor Snow. In a few days, the snow will fall heavier and heavier, and eventually, the entire village will be covered in white snow.
The days of hibernation are coming.
They had already stored up a lot of food and firewood; all they lacked were warm clothes.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Bai was a lifesaver, bringing them so many long-eared beast pelts.
only??????
Ning Hong looked at the fur of these long-eared beasts.
Given Uncle Bai's strength, why would he only capture long-eared beasts?
