Seeing Liu Bian sitting beside the tree house, Diao Chan climbed up with a little bear, leaning against Liu Bian, touching the little bear's head, and said with a smile: "Husband, can we take them with you?"

Liu Bian smiled and shook his head: "They are suitable for survival here, so why do you take them to Xuanming Sea? Without the familiar environment, they will not be able to catch enough food. Then you feed them?"

Diao Chan blinked: "Then let's take the little bears away, they eat less. "```"

"Do you have the heart to take them away from your parents?"

Diao Chan closed her mouth, hugged the little bear in her arms, rubbed the little bear's careful fluff with her cheeks, and was very entangled. Liu Bian didn't say anything, but just looked at her silently with a smile. After a long time, Diao Chan raised her head and said, "Let's go."

"Don't you have been playing with them for two days?"

"I will break up in two days, and I may be even more reluctant to let go at that time. Why not leave now."

Liu Bian looked slightly. "When fate is finally over, it is better to let go when it is time to go. If you have fate, you will get together again in the future."

"Yeah." Diao Chan responded, hugged the little bear and returned to the ground, and said a few words to Kawujie. Kawujie looked back at Liu Bian, then gestured with Diao Chan and said something, as if there was a dispute. However, Diao Chan was very persistent. She stomped her feet in anger, put down the little bear and ran to the sled alone to sit on the sled. Diao Chan picked up the little bear and placed it in the nest where they had been resting for the past two days. She squatted in front of the nest and looked motionlessly.

Liu Bian jumped out of the tree house and began to pack up.

The two giant bears came back. Diao Chan stood up with a deer in her mouth, slowly returned to the sled, pulled up her hood, and covered her face.

Liu Bian waved his whip, and the reindeer began to exert force, pulling the sled slowly. Two giant bears stood up, and two giant palms arched in front of his chest, as if saying goodbye. The three little bears ran out of the bear's nest, screaming and chasing the sled, but they were getting farther and farther away.

Diao Chan sobbed silently, her shoulders thrust. Kawujie, who was sitting beside her sulking, screamed angrily, and turned around and hugged Diao Chan.

Liu Bian did not look back. At this moment, he knew what he should do.

The reindeer stepped on four hooves and pulled the sled and ran on the ice field.

...

Xun Yu jumped off the sled and walked step by step up the steep ice peak.

This ice peak is about thirty feet high. It is very abrupt on the ice field. From a distance, it looks like a lying fox facing the south. The fox's ears are not very big. It is not like the fox unique to Xuanming Sea, but like a common breed in the Central Plains. The fluffy tail is curled behind it, like a question mark and a torch.

Xun Yu stood between the fox's ears, feeling the wisdom conveyed by his ancestors three hundred years ago.

Dongfang Shuo's travel notes record this ice peak and has a name: The First Hill. Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs" says: When a bird flies back to his hometown, the fox will die. This ice peak looks like a dying fox, and faces the south, which is exactly the same as the intentions of the people traveling north, so it is named First Hill.

After more than three hundred years of wind and snow, the Shuqiu has changed its appearance. The fox looks not so realistic, at least not as realistic as Dongfang Shuo recorded. However, in Xun Yu's eyes, this ice peak named Shuqiu is exactly the same as the ice peak mentioned by Dongfang Shuo.

At least their intentions are exactly the same.

Xun Yu stood on the hill for a while and returned to the old man.

"Brother-in-law, you can send it here. I will go there alone for the next road."

"Sage, how can you do it alone..."

Xun Yu shook his head, interrupted the old man, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I am very grateful that you can send me here. The road ahead is very dangerous and not something you can handle. It will be useless to barely follow up, but it will only increase casualties. You have paid a huge price, and there is no need to make unnecessary sacrifices. Go back and prepare to order good wine. If I can go back and go find you again, we will drink and talk about it and stop drunk."

Seeing Xun Yu insisting, the old man knew that he would not change his mind, so he had to sigh and let someone leave Xun Yu with sufficient supplies. Then he said goodbye to Xun Yu in tears. After seeing the old man off, Xun Yu boarded the prepared one-timbered boat, held the oars tightly, and began to march into the depths of the sea.

He will walk alone for the next section of the road.

Half a day later, he saw an island shaped like a drum platform and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This shows that he was in the right direction. In the records left by Dongfang Shuo, there are more than twenty islands of various sizes, connected into a string, leading to the ice field deep in Xuanhai Ming. Although Xuanhai is called the sea, most of the areas are an ice field that has not melted for many years, floating on the sea and connected by countless ice peaks.

After getting on the island, Xun Yu dragged the canoe ashore, drew a wooden stake on the ice and snow, tied the canoe, made a sign, and then carried a bag and walked towards the nearest ice peak in front of him. After walking for more than half a day, he arrived at the bottom of the ice peak. The first thing that caught his eye was two black wooden stakes inserted in the snow. A layer of ice was sealed on the wooden stake. If you don’t look carefully, it is easy to ignore it.

Xun Yu stood in front of the wooden stake for a while, took out a dagger from his backpack and dug it up. He didn't take long to dig a pit behind the wooden stake. There was a corpse in the pit, with blood stains and white bones, but there was not much meat, and there were some knife marks on the bones. It was obvious that the flesh on the corpse had been cut away.

Xun Yu's eyebrows twitched. He forced himself to vomit and opened another pit.

It is also a skeleton without much meat.

Xun Yu stood in front of the pit for a long time, feeling desolate and anger and self-blame.

He could guess who did it. The reason why he refused to go with the old man and wanted to go to Xuanminghai alone was because he had already estimated that this possibility and was unwilling to let the old man and his companions see this scene. The old man had arranged six people to send Xi Zhicai to Xuanminghai, and these six people had never returned to the tribe, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. The old man optimistically thought that they accompanied Xi Zhicai and kept moving forward, but Xun Yu knew that their supplies were not enough to cope with such a long journey. The six people did not return as scheduled, and there was only one possibility: they were dead.

Xun Yu knew the character of Xi Zhicai. Xi Zhicai was a poor man, but it did not mean that he was a kind person. For his own goal, he could hope for any person. These barbarians were undoubtedly the kind that could be sacrificed for him. It was already very rare for Xi Zhicai to dig a hole for them and then put up a wooden stake.

What would happen if such a person had strong power?

When Xun Yu thought of Liu Bian's guess, he shuddered.

...

Liu Bian shook his whip, hummed an unknown song, and rode his sled on the ice field.

After several days of practice, he has surpassed Kawujie and has become the main force in sledding. Kawujie is also happy to be lazy. He nests on the sled with Diao Chan, wrapped tightly, and whispers all day long, not knowing where they have so many words to say. Liu Bian doesn't care and immerses himself in his own perception. His mentality is relaxed and his itinerary is calm. He finds that even on the running sled, even if the north wind is as cold as a knife, he can still maintain an empty state. It seems that his control is not needed at all. The eagle knows to lead the way in the sky, and the reindeer knows which direction to run.

Liu Bian enjoys this state very much.

The originally arduous journey turned into a casual trip inadvertently. If you want to go, you can stop. It was still early. Liu Bian suddenly felt his heart, his wrist trembled, and the whip "pop" sounded. The reindeer slowly stopped his steps, and the eagle in the sky also swung down like a meteorite and landed on the sled.

"What's wrong?" Diao Chan poked her head out and asked in confusion.

Before Liu Bian could speak, Kawujie suddenly changed his face: "No, camp quickly, there is a heavy snowstorm." As he said, he jumped off the sled and ran to the sled loading the tent, and began to untickle the ropes with his hands and feet. After hearing this, Diao Chan did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly came out of the hot blanket and worked with Kawujie.

Although Liu Bian didn't understand what Kawujie said, he had already sensed danger from the big eagle's actions. When he saw that there was no cover, he immediately picked up an axe to break the ice. As soon as he got down, the ice on his feet, which was as hard as steel, immediately broke a big gap. The earth was shocked. Not only the reindeer were startled, but even Kawujie screamed. When she looked back, she changed her face and rushed over and grabbed Liu Bian's axe, screaming loudly.

Liu Bian couldn't understand, so he reached out and pushed Kawujie away. Kawujie blushed and rushed over again. Diao Chan grabbed a step and stopped her. Liu Bian swung the axe, adjusted his strength, raised the axe and fell, and the ice chips flew. After a while, a big hole was dug out.

The argument stopped, and Kawujie looked at Liu Bian in amazement, his mouth wide open and he was shocked.

"Stop looking, hurry up and keep the reindeer clasp and hide in the cave." Liu Bian sniffed: "The storm will arrive later."

Diao Chan translated Liu Bian's meaning to Kawujie. Kawujie woke up from a dream and hurriedly shouted, holding the reindeer together to prevent them from being blown away by the storm. Liu Bian picked up the tools to build a camp, and then laid a few thick wooden stakes on the ice to fix the sled. He was amazing, and what ordinary people needed to do together was very relaxed by himself. The three of them cooperated with each other and quickly made all preparations.

After a meal, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, with strong winds whistling and heavy snow all over the sky. Liu Bian and the other two sat around the ice cave, raised a bonfire, and cooked deer milk. The warm milk fragrance filled everyone's nose.

"How did you know that the storm is coming?" Kawujie looked at Liu Bian curiously and asked with a gesture.

Diao Chan was afraid that Liu Bian would not understand, so she helped him translate. After hearing this, Liu Bian smiled slightly: "Have you ever told you about Xun Yu? The unity of man and nature." (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
