Chapter 1 Yukino's Battle
PS:
[Xiaofeng admits that the first two chapters are too much for the foundation, but it will be fine when the protagonist appears! And this book starts from the second volume, which is absolutely wonderful! You must insist on reading it!
Around December 1987, heavy snow fell in the Himalayas, and several consecutive days of blizzards caused heavy snow to seal the mountains. Even in some low-altitude areas of the Himalayas, places where animal activities could be seen have become lifeless due to the loss of food.
Towards evening, on the edge of the southern slope of the Himalayas, a group of staggering "people" finally stopped their slow footsteps and prepared to rest here for a moment.
Although this group of "people" are really like human beings, they can walk upright and often communicate in a strange language. But their heads are pointed, with red hair, gray-yellow hair all over their bodies, and their height ranges from 1.5 to 4.6 meters.
It turns out that this is a group of half-human and half apes, which usually only appears in legend - snowmen!
According to many sources, the snowman does not only exist in legends, but also has its own things! In the remote Himalayas, it has been rumored that there have been "snowman" for hundreds of years. Snowman is called "Yeti", which means animals living on rocks; in Tibetan, it is called Migui, which means humanoid monster; some people call it snow demon, which is endowed with many mythological colors. Since 326 BC, legends about snowmen have been circulating in the world.
Originally, this group of snowmen lived in a low-latitude area in the depths of the Himalayas. However, because of this once-old heavy snow completely cut off their food sources, they had to migrate and wanted to escape from the deep mountains to find another way to live.
Although these snowmen are dangerous and dangerous all the way, they are worthy of being legendary creatures, not only overcoming hunger and cold, but also breaking through the blockade of the blizzard...
However, they have also paid a considerable price for this! There were not many snowmen, but after escaping from the deep mountains, there were less than 30 or 40 left. Most of the people who are still alive are young snowmen and a few small snowmen who are still minors.
Now, these snowmen just look back at the way, and they still look like they have lingering palpitations.
##
Motuo County is the most remote county in southeast Tibet. And the destination of this group of snowmen's trip is the last secret place of mankind - Mot!
After a night's rest, the snowmen set off again early the next morning. After walking for half a day, I have walked out of the Himalayan area. Looking around, I can see a few green spots dotted among the mountains.
Suddenly, a faint baby cry firmly attracted the attention of all the snowmen. Immediately, the snowmen quickly searched for the source of the sound as if they had found some treasure.
Not long after the snowmen walked forward, they came to the front of a cliff. At this time, they found that the source of the sound was still under the cliff. Without hesitation, the snowmen immediately went down the cliff and still looked for the cry.
Finally, when a baby who had just been one month old suddenly appeared in front of the snowmen, they were all overjoyed and even danced happily!
You should know that the reproductive ability of snowmen is very poor, so they attach great importance to newborns! This can be seen from the fact that there are no old snowmen but small snowmen among the survivors - their thoughts that they value young and the old.
It is also because of this concept of attaching importance to future generations that the snowman group can continue to this day without annihilation in the long river of history...
But when several snowmen took a few steps forward and wanted to get close to the baby, a big stone rain suddenly fell from the sky and smashed those snowmen with meat and eight vegetables! Then, dozens of creatures that were as close to humans jumped out of nowhere and confronted the group of snowmen.
It is also ironic: where there are no human beings, there is life and prosperity.
Because of its special geographical environment and harsh climate, Motuo County is still an inaccessible place in China. This creates favorable conditions for the survival of various animals and plants.
Even, there are not only all kinds of rare beasts living here, but also a beautiful place of mountains and rivers; moreover, it is also a blessed place for a group of unknown savages and ghosts.
Savages are taller than people, their heads are larger than people, their foreheads are relatively prominent, and their fingers and toes can be separated like people. Therefore, these savages also use simple tools and often wave sticks and stones to demonstrate when they meet people.
At this time, both sides of Xueye are carefully observing each other's strength and guessing each other's intentions and their own chances of winning.
Not long after, a snowman, who was about 4.6 meters tall and unusually tall, strode out. It is the current patriarch of the snowman family and the most powerful one among the snowmen.
The snowman patriarch looked very serious and said angrily, "Who are you? Why did you hurt my people for no reason?"
Because the language and culture of Xueye is not very developed, as long as some body movements and facial expressions are added, they can clearly understand each other's meaning.
I saw three savages walking out of the wild crowd opposite at the same time, one old, one middle school and one young.
I heard the old savage answer vibly, "Because you want to take away a sacred life!"
The snowman patriarch understood the meaning of this sentence. He was a little excited and said angrily, "What is robbery? We found the baby first! You should be the ones who want to rob, right?
The middle-aged savage heard this and said disdainfully, "The Holy Child appeared in our territory, so it is our clan!"
Although the number of savages is much more than that of snowmen, their future development is also very unoptimistic!
The living environment of savages is relatively worse than that of snowmen. Although food is not a problem, there are too many natural enemies: such as Tibetan bears, snow leopards, big golden eagles, wolves and even humans. Therefore, they attach no less importance to life and reproduction than that of snowmen.
In particular, the baby's origin is unknown and his identity is a little mysterious. Those uncivilized savages think that this is the holy baby given to them by God and can lead them to prosperity. In this way, the baby is more valued.
When the snowman patriarch heard this, his face suddenly sank. If it is put in peacetime, even if they attach great importance to life, they will not fight for it under the balance of pros and cons.
But now, in addition to this, there is another factor - that is, they also want to survive in this land now!
However, the savages are very domineering and have circled this place as their territory and will never allow others to invade at all.
Therefore, a war between the snow and the wild, which is about life and death, is inevitable to happen...
The battle has begun without warning.
The first to attack was the snowman side, because they just found out that a snowman was dead!
The snowman died suddenly because of his long fatigue, and he was hit in the head by a stone thrown by the savage.
And the snowmen attributed this misfortune entirely to the savage's fault. Therefore, the snowmen suddenly turned red and rushed over one by one, led by the patriarch who was four meters tall.
Xueye and the two sides were shocked by each other. The snowman is burly and brute, and his fighting style is basically straight, which belongs to the kind of punching with his fist;
The power of savages is going to fall behind compared with snowmen, but the good is that they are small and flexible, and they are good at using tools, such as wooden sticks and stones.
More importantly, there are a large number of savages! As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands. Even if the snowman can fight again, no matter how powerful it is, they are often one to beat others, so it is difficult to please them.
Therefore, the strength of Xueye is basically the same, and there is no one-sided situation.
However, it is this war of attrition that is the most terrible for both sides. After a while, there were varying degrees of casualties on both sides participating in the war.
###
But just as the two sides of the snowfield were inexsoluble and inseparable - suddenly there was a sad cry from the sky, and several adult Tibetan antelopes struggled and fell from the sky.
Both sides of Xueye, who had been fighting with blood, were all stared on the spot because of this sudden accident. For a moment, they both stopped fighting!
Just as everyone stopped moving and the valley was quiet for a moment, a harsh gunshot came faintly from above.
As soon as the savages heard the sound, their faces changed, and they immediately sent people to investigate.
After a while, a savage reported that they saw a group of human beings coming up the mountain, all holding long black sticks that could kill people and besieging a group of Tibetan antelopes.
It turned out that a group of humans were hunting. They forced a group of Tibetan antelopes to the cliff. When they were about to be successfully captured, they did not expect that some stubborn Tibetan antelopes would rather jump down and die than be caught by humans, so that the previous scene would happen.
Soon, savages reported that those greedy humans had hunted all the Tibetan antelopes on the mountain, and some of them did not even let go of these dead Tibetan antelopes and took a detour to the bottom of the cliff.
At this time, there were still many snowmen and savage bodies lying on the ground, as well as some wounded people, even those traces left by the fight, which could not be disposed of in a short time. Although it is still too late to escape, these obvious traces will undoubtedly let human beings know their existence. Even if they escape, they may soon be caught up.
Looking at all the things in front of him, the snowman's eyes flashed wisely. It now fully understands the situation of both sides and has made the wisest choice!
It took a step forward, with aggressive eyes, and said neither humble nor arrogant to the savage, "That's it. I have a request!"
An old man came out of the savage and waved his hand and said, "Please tell me!"
When the snowman patriarch saw the old savage come out, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, he said sincerely, "I would like to exchange my body for tomorrow's sunrise; but I hope to sow the seeds of friendship and protect our people to grow up!"
It turned out that the snowman patriarch actually meant that he wanted to stay here alone to attract human attention and buy time for the savages and snowmen to escape. In this way, the savages owe it a favor, and naturally they will acquiesce to other snowmen to survive here.
Looking at the snowman patriarch's proper expression, he probably doesn't think it will be a sacrifice in his heart. On the contrary, it thinks that if it hadn't been for the emergence of this group of human beings, its people would not have known how much they would die, let alone how to survive in the future.
The snowman patriarch feels that there is no better time than now, and there is no better way to resolve the feud between Xueye, so that the snowman can survive in this land.
The old savage looked at the snowman in front of him because he was selfless and fearless, and he couldn't stand himself for a long time.
Although it also understands that the tall snowman in front of him is only for the sake of its people, the old savage is also deeply shocked by the spirit of sacrificing himself!
The old savage didn't say anything more, just took a few steps forward, picked up the baby on the ground, and said to the savages, "Please follow us!" At sunset, the other side of the West Mountain will be our common home!"
Other snowmen are overjoyed to hear the words. Who is willing to bleed and sacrifice? Who is willing to fight with others? Is it not for survival that the current situation can be caused?
As long as they can continue to survive, these snowmen will not care about the enemies that have just been sworn, because this kind of survival that can be exchanged for without fighting or death is what they need most!
However, there are also some smart snowmen who realize something. They observed the snowman patriarch and found that they did not escape with them, and they realized that their survival was based on the premise of sacrificing the patriarch!
At this time, none of these snowmen who were eager to live were willing to leave again.
In the end, no matter how the snowman patriarch dissuaded him, the snowmen refused to leave it. The wild people are anxious, and the snowman patriarch also knows that time is running out, and it will be too late if they don't leave.
Finally, the snowman grew fiercely. As soon as it gritted its teeth, it found a wooden stick and hit it fiercely according to its thighs. The meaning is obvious: Even if you don't leave, I will break my legs, and no one will be able to walk!
Finally, the snowmen realized the patriarch's determination to die, and had no choice but to escape with the savages. However, all the snowmen walked very slowly. They turned back step by step and finally fell in love with the tall figure, the patriarch who once sheltered them from the wind and rain and led them to seek survival!
This is the simplest and kindest person in nature! Although they are not like human beings, they have advanced technology and a high degree of civilization, their true feelings and righteousness will never be worse than human beings!
Shortly after the snowmen and the wild men left, the human laughter and footsteps faintly came from the distance. The snowman patriarch knows that his life is coming to an end!
