680 - Plain of Heaven
To the south of the large mountain range, there is a plain surrounded by mountains, and when viewed from above, it looks like a basin surrounded by mountains.
This plain covers a huge area, and the locals call it the natural plain.
Because of its unique location, it shelters the plains from being invaded by other places.
The land of the natural plain is fertile, the resources are abundant, and it is surrounded by mountains and seas, so there are about a dozen tribes of all sizes living on this plain.
All the tribes together numbered more than 2,000 people.
There is a valley about ten miles away from the coast, and in this valley, there are about eighty or ninety people, who are a tribe called White Lotus in the Heavenly Plains.
In the past, they were a large tribe living in the fertile area in the middle of the Tiansan Plain, but only a few years ago, they were defeated by a rising tribe and were driven to live by the sea.
Although they usually have no prey to feed their stomachs, they are closer to the sea, and they can pick up some fish and shrimp that have washed ashore on the beach every day, and they will not starve to death.
On this day, the members of the White Lotus tribe left the tribe and searched for food by the sea as usual.
Already experienced, they can easily dig up fish and shrimp that are hidden under the sand.
The icy sea breeze blew along the surface of the sea, and every member of the White Lotus Clan couldn't help but shiver, gritting their teeth up and down and trembling: "Most, why is it so cold recently?"
"This, who knows, if it weren't for the lack of food in the tribe, I wouldn't want to come out and find something to eat. ”
"Alas, now I think of the time when we controlled the middle of the Tiansan Plain before, the prey continued every day, and we didn't have to work hard, the prey almost collided with itself, tsk, don't talk about it, I drooled again after talking too much. The person who said this was an elderly man from the White Lotus tribe.
At his age, in the Lihuo Tribe, every day is basically a slip-and-turn and a pressure road, and it will be over at the designated time every month to receive some monthly money.
At the same age, in the White Lotus Tribe, he still has to live by picking up food by the sea with a group of young descendants.
"Father, don't talk about it, how long have we been driven out?Now that the Heavenly Plains are produced, how many tribes still know how powerful our White Lotus tribe was at the beginning?" a middle-aged man said to the old man.
"Alas, there are not many, there are four or five thousand people in the Heavenly Plains, so many tribes together, who doesn't know that our White Lotus Tribe and Black Vine Tribe are the most powerful. However, this has been beaten, and my hair has turned gray, and by now, how many old tribes are left? I heard that not long ago, the Black Vine tribe was also defeated, and they also moved to the seaside. ”
"The patriarch said about this, but the Black Vine tribe and we have always been enemies, what if they grab the beach with us?"
"I don't know about this, it depends on the patriarch and what Lord Li Ya says. If we fight, then we have nothing else, we will definitely fight. ”
Such complaints can be seen basically every day, and almost every ten steps away, an old man gathers a few young people to discuss the strength of the white lotus in the past.
More than forty percent of the people who came to pick up fish and shrimp at the beach were old people who had witnessed the glory of the White Lotus tribe, and it was really not a simple matter to let them forget the past words of their tribe.
Just as the old man was speaking, suddenly, a stern voice came: "You guys are not looking for food, what are you talking about here!"
The old man and his son were stunned for a moment, and immediately looked back, only to see a heroic woman standing barefoot in the wet sand, with healthy wheat skin, holding a bone spear made of fish bones, frowning at the crowd.
The old man immediately knelt down and said with trepidation in his mouth: "Lord Liya, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to say this." ”
The middle-aged man was also busy kneeling down at the woman named Li Ya, apologetic.
Li Ya frowned: "Hurry up, only this time, not next time." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
Seeing the two of them stand up, Li Ya looked around: "It's getting colder and colder, it's not easy for us to come out once, everyone is working hard, this time, let's pick up more food and go back." You know what?"
The fifty or sixty people scattered on the beach shouted loudly, and then lowered their heads and continued to look for fish and shrimp on the beach.
Lea took off a tattered hide from her back, placed it on the ground, and then fixed it with a bone spear in her hand, and then lowered her head and searched back and forth in the sand.
While she was looking for her, Li Ya suddenly heard a noisy sound.
Immediately, the heroic woman frowned, she raised her head a little dissatisfied, every time she led the team out to find food, there were always some old people who liked to talk to young people about the past.
Usually it is okay to talk about it in the tribe, and everyone can pass the time by listening to stories.
But you're out looking for food? Everybody listens to your story, who has the time to get down to business?
Li Ya was dissatisfied, straightened up and walked in the direction of the noise, and scolded: "What's wrong, what's wrong?
When Li Ya came to the place where the noise was happening, she pushed everyone away and approached.
I saw that in the center of about twenty or thirty tribesmen, on a strange wooden sign made of a dozen or so wooden sticks, there was a man covered in animal skins.
The man's eyes were closed, and on his chest stood a wooden spear that looked like a flagpole.
The surrounding circle of White Lotus people couldn't help but drool when they saw the animal skin on the man's body.
Loser, loser, one person wears so many animal skins, as for it.
So, some people who couldn't control their greed reached out to pull the skin from the man's body.
"Ahem!!"
A violent cough spurted out of the man's mouth with a little blood and seawater, startling everyone.
"Live, Live, Live !!"
Li Ya was also taken aback, she didn't expect the man in front of her to be alive.
She hurriedly pushed the crowd away, leaned her head up, and reached out to touch the skin of the man's neck.
It's cold, but there's still a hint of warmth.
Glancing at the man's pale face and the wound on his chest that faintly smelled of rot, Li Ya was even more surprised, and said that he was not dead from such an injury?
"Lord Lea, this person..."
There was a White Lotus Clan next to him who asked.
Li Ya lowered her head and thought for a while: "Carry him up first." ”
As she spoke, Li Ya carried the raft with her own hands, and when all the White Lotus people saw this, they all came up to help.
When Lian Ren carried the raft to a safe place, Li Ya knelt on the ground, lying on the man's chest, her head in the direction of the man's upper body, and her ears were close to the man's chest, to listen to his heartbeat.
When the heartbeat of Dong~Dong~ extremely weak sounded in her ears, Li Ya shook her head and said, "This person is dying, even if he takes it back, he can't save it." ”
The surrounding circle of White Lotus Clansmen immediately radiated a greedy light in their eyes: "Then what are you waiting for, Lord Liya, this guy is wearing so many animal skins, hurry up and take them off." ”
"It's just that, it's a waste, even the feet are covered with animal skins. ”
As he spoke, the crowd came up and pulled the man by him.
Lea shook her head and sighed, but did not speak.
Instinctively, Li Ya hated the clansmen doing this, but as the clansmen said, it was a waste of resources for a dying person to wear so many animal skins.
So, she didn't stop everyone.
However, just when everyone's hands were about to touch the man, the man who was supposed to be dying opened his eyes at this moment.
The eyes were blurry, and when the man saw Li Ya's appearance in a daze, an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Snow, is that you? Where am I..."
Li Ya was taken aback, not only her, but also the people of the White Lotus Clan around her, and they all stopped their hands and looked directly at the man: "He, isn't he dead yet?"
Li Ya didn't answer, but frowned and looked at the man, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Xue, who is she? It seems to be a woman's name.
Why was the first thing this man shouted when he opened his eyes was snow?
