Chapter 99 Catching Fish

"Did you find anything?"

"No, we chased for a long distance, but didn't see anyone else appear." Lin Yun frowned slightly. His idea was the same as Xiao Yan's. There must be someone behind Scarface, otherwise they wouldn't be so brave, but he didn't find anything.

"Since they are hiding behind, they will definitely not let us find them easily." Xiao Yan was not surprised by this result. After all, it was impossible for them to find them so easily if they didn't show up.

Fearing that they would not give up, in the next few days, except for a few people who went to check if there were prey in the trap, everyone else stayed in the tribe, but it was calm for a few days. Scarface didn't show up again, and no suspicious people were seen.

After guarding for a few days without anything happening, they thought about going to find some food, but when they went out the next day, they found a vast expanse of white. The trees in front of the tribe had already been wrapped in silver, and there were a few strings of crystal clear ice beads hanging on the treetops.

Just standing at the entrance of the cave, Shen Xiaoxiao felt the biting cold wind. She quickly closed the door, hugged herself and rubbed her arms, and quickly ran to the animal skin and wrapped herself up like a dumpling.

The snow was so thick, it must have been snowing all night, and it probably just stopped. It had been cold some time ago, but the snow was a bit unexpected.

Shen Xiaoxiao shrank her neck in the animal skin, Xiao Yan hugged her and said with a smile, "Is it so cold?"

"Yeah, it's snowing." Shen Xiaoxiao felt better after a while, she was really shivering. When she got up, she felt that today was much colder than yesterday, but she didn't think much about it. Good guy, opened the door and gave her a critical hit.

"It's winter now. If you feel cold, then you can stay in the cave. I'll go and light some fire and warm you up later." Xiao Yan said calmly. In fact, they rarely moved in winter, and basically all cats stayed in the cave.

"If you want to go out, put on this fox skin." Xiao Yan took the snow-white fox skin that was placed aside. He had made this skin suitable for her to wear. It was just right for her to wear now, and she didn't have to worry about being cold.

"Yeah." Shen Xiaoxiao didn't refuse. She didn't want to freeze to death here.

It wasn't until Xiao Yan lit a fire in the cave that Shen Xiaoxiao wrapped herself tightly and got up. After washing with hot water, they started to cook food.

"I'm going to see how the chickens and sheep are doing later." Suddenly, a heavy snow fell. She was afraid that they would freeze to death. Although she also built a fence for them and put grass in it to keep them warm, she was still a little worried.

"Okay, I'll go and see." Xiao Yan agreed. Although his injuries were not fully healed, he had no problem working.

After eating hot food, Shen Xiaoxiao felt comfortable all over. In this kind of weather, she should eat something hot.

"Boss, it's a good thing that we joined the White Tiger Tribe." Xiaobai said thankfully.

"Yes, otherwise we would have to find a way to get food. It's not as easy as it is now. We have food and shelter, and we don't have to worry about the cold."

A Shu also nodded beside him. This was the most comfortable winter he had ever had. In the past, he disliked winter the most because there were fewer prey to hunt in winter and it was cold. Sometimes he thought he would freeze to death in winter. Now he can roast by the fire and eat hot food. This is something they didn't dare to think of before.

Lin Yun didn't speak, but in his heart, like them, this was the best winter he had ever had.

"Go and remind the witch doctor later that when they light a fire in the cave, don't close the door so tightly, and leave a gap for air circulation."

"We used to light fires in the cave, and nothing happened."

"Before, there was no door at the entrance of your cave, and it was okay to light a fire in the cave as long as the air circulated. Now there is a door at the entrance of the cave, and there are many people in the cave. Lighting a fire inside, without air circulation, is prone to lack of oxygen." Seeing that he didn't understand, he said, "Just understand it as poisoning. This behavior is dangerous."

Hearing what Shen Xiaoxiao said, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, "I'll go now." This matter concerns the lives of the tribe members, and it is of great importance.

Xiao Yan went back after talking to the witch doctor, "I've already told the witch doctor, she will tell the others."

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Does it snow here often?"

"Not necessarily, sometimes it snows for several days in a row, and sometimes it snows only after a period of time."

"How long will it be cold?"

"About a hundred days."

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded, "Will you stay in the tribe all winter?"

"Yeah, it's too cold." They will freeze to death if they go out, and if the animal skins are not warm enough, they will freeze to death. He has met stray savages who have been frozen to death before.

Shen Xiaoxiao understood it as soon as she thought about it. There were not many things to keep warm at this time. Roasting by fire was their best way to keep warm. Once they left the fire source and had no animal skins, going out was no different from sending themselves to death.

Even if they had animal skins, they did not have cold-proof shoes on their feet, and their feet would be frozen after a while.

But when the weather got warmer, Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't stay any longer. She went out wrapped in animal skins. Although they didn't go out, they would sweep the snow in front of the cave entrance. Except that it was a little colder than before, there was no difference in other aspects.

Others stayed in the cave to warm themselves by the fire and had no intention of coming out.

"Sister, what are you doing out here?" Ah Shu asked, huddled at the cave entrance.

Shen Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "Nothing, go back quickly." Ah Shu wanted to say something, but when he saw her eyes, he shrank back and returned to the cave.

"Xiao Yan, let's go fishing." Shen Xiaoxiao suggested. Anyway, they were free and it would be nice to move around and keep warm.

"The river is frozen, there are no fish to catch." Xiao Yan thought Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know, so he explained.

"I know, but I have a way." Shen Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously and asked him to bring his stone tools, "Let's dig a hole in it." However, their tools were not very handy, so she found a place where the ice was not very thick, but in this way they couldn't stand on the ice, so as not to be dragged down when digging the ice.

"Here, dig a hole at this position." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed to a piece of ice on the shore. Xiao Yan didn't say anything and used the stone tools to dig on the ice as she said, but the effect was not very good.

Shen Xiaoxiao went back to the nearby area and searched for a long time before she found a stone with a sharp end and a round end. She took it and returned to the riverside, "Wait a minute." She called Xiao Yan and pushed the sharp end onto the ice, holding the stone and said, "Hit it here."

Xiao Yan didn't hesitate and hammered at the stone she was holding. Several cracks appeared on the ice. Xiao Yan hammered a few more times, and a small pit appeared. Soon a pit was formed, breaking the last layer of ice, and the icy cold river water appeared.

Shen Xiaoxiao threw the stone aside, "Okay, if a fish swims over later, you can knock it out with this." Shen Xiaoxiao pointed at the tool in his hand and said.

Xiao Yan didn't believe it in his heart. After all, how could there be fish in such a cold day? He was just worried that she would be too bored, so he played with her.
