The sea breeze with a fishy and salty smell blows from the east, wet, with a strange warmth.

The snow in winter has melted in the sun, and the hard plowhead can easily penetrate into the wet and soft mud, and the thick black mud is turned up under simple push and pull. The seeds fall from the hands of the woman carrying the scattered basket, looking for a suitable position, enjoying the warmth of spring, drinking plenty of water and falling asleep. When I wake up again, I already have tender buds on my head, a piece of green.

The northern barbarians obviously do not care about the taboos of men in civilized eras. Here, "wife" is just a conceptual title. Few men like wives, which means institutional marriages that are witnessed by the leaders and priests of the village and recognized by everyone. In contrast, "partners" are much simpler. If you like two people, you sleep together, and if you don't like them, you will separate them. With physical and physical strength, men can sell their partners when they have no food in winter, wait until there is enough food before redeeming them, or simply change to a new face and fully experience their fresh life.

Fusong's head was processed and hung on the wall in the form of complete pale yellow bones. It was the gathering place of Panshi Village, with more than 20 human skulls hanging on the walls, all of which were the leaders of previous villages.

Corpse can be buried, but the head must be left as a commemoration for future generations. This is a unique custom of the northern barbarians and has nothing to do with concepts such as horror or evil.

When Tianhao summoned all villagers and publicly announced that the share of grain was reduced to 30%, the slightly young boy became the new leader's successor amid cheers.

Someone must have questioned his superiority, but his voice was suppressed in a very short time. This is an era where you must be prepared to deal with hunger at any time. No one will think that eating one more bite in the bowl is a sin. The requirement to follow Fusong's footsteps to another world can be fully satisfied. Even if the loyal group around Tianhao does not take action, more people in the village will help you realize this wish.

Sneezing is a bad habit. In the eyes of the old people in the village, the newly promoted young leader obviously did not understand what "calculative" means. The eternal teaching of "eating sparsely in his spare time and eating dry when he is busy" has not been confirmed in him at all. Large pieces of venison were distributed, and every household had the strong fragrance of big bones to make soup. When spring came, the cheerful people carried plows and cultivated the land like in previous years, and placed all hope in the depths of the black soil.

The elderly are worried: I have a lot of venison, what should I do after I finish eating it?

But the young people don’t have so many ideas. They are inspired by Tianhao and are full of longing for the future.

Compared with previous years, the arable land area has expanded a lot this year. The population exchanged for grain in winter has become a new labor force. People dig the ground and sow seedlings while the ice and snow melt. After the first rainfall, the tender green seedlings smiled in their eyes.

Burning kilns is not a new thing for the barbarians, and every household has some stoneware items. The tall walls of Chitou City and Heijiao City are enough to prove that cement and bricks are widely used. The reason why Panshi Village did not use these is because burning bricks is too troublesome and not as simple as logging on the spot.

After the spring plowing ended, Tianhao divided two hundred people from the village to burn bricks, and he led the rest to camp at the beach.

There are ready-made stones and mixed plaster on the hillside, and it is easy to build a solid warning tower. Under normal circumstances, the tower can accommodate six people, and Tianhao specially left enough space for the tower. The blacksmith and carpenter are rushing to make new crossbows in the village, and they will be transported here to install after the construction is completed. Usually, when villagers are cooking salt on the beach, the armed personnel who stay in the tower are responsible for the alert.

Wild beasts are the biggest source of threat. When spring comes, they also leave their nests in search of prey to fill their stomachs. In their eyes, human blood is fresh and warm, and human flesh is soft and sweet.

People in Panshi Village are not lazy, they just have no vision. Whether they are dead leaders, living old priests and witches, or hunting captain Yonggang, they never thought of really getting out of this village in their long decades of life. Farming, hunting, and then hunting, farming, and life will always circulate in a simple circle. When encountering danger, they will retract their hands and feet that have just been poked out. The tall and solid village wall will protect everyone, and all problems can be solved inside.

The black howling wolf is a terrible beast. When they stand with four feet, they have a height of more than 1.5 meters. The thick cuticle forms extremely hard claws on the toes. They are in groups, eat a lot every year when autumn begins, and stay in the hole for winter with a lot of body fat. It is not true hibernation, but only minimizes the functions of the body, maintaining a half-sleep and half-awake lazy state for several months, fundamentally reducing the need for nutrients.

No one wants to accidentally walk into the black howling wolf's nest in winter. That's no different from taking the initiative to walk into hell. A group of seemingly lazy beasts will rush up and tear their stupid prey to eat.

Hunger for a long time is enough to prove the tenacity and patience of the black howling wolf. The blooming of spring indicates that they are in the season of activity, and groups of black figures can often be seen in the forest. The anti-canine teeth of the young black howling wolf will fall off at this time, and the reverse erratic teeth that grow from the inner roots will be replaced, and eventually grow into sharp fangs exposed to the outside of the mouth.

When Tianhao ordered that the warning tower be built on the hillside by the sea, many villagers could not understand it. Some people even found the old priest, hoping that he could come forward to persuade Tianhao to give up this idea and put precious manpower into other aspects, even if it was to reclaim more wasteland, it would be good to get back more prey while the weather was warm.

When the wolves attacked, the alerters on the tower immediately issued an alarm. People who were cooking salt on the beach quickly gathered under the tower. They threw away various tools, picked up their respective battle axes and spears, and used this small stone building as the core to form an irregular circular array with the attack spear head facing outward.

In one-on-one situation, the Black Howling Wolf is not the opponent of the northern barbarians. These beasts are filled with the genes of the ancestors of the civilization era. They will divide the work and cooperate to attack the prey from different directions. The reason why the villagers of Panshizhai are afraid of the wolf pack is because they have already learned the tactic of attacking forward and backward. Although the barbarians are strong, they cannot be used with one mind. They focus on dealing with the fangs that block the fangs that bit their throats in front, and they cannot beware of the cruel wolf claws that come from behind, tear the leather robe, and directly reach into the anus, dragging out the intestines in their bodies.

Everyone faced the same attacking style, making it difficult for the black howling wolf pack to get to the prey in front of them. The archers standing on the tower aimed at the target and kept shooting. The arrows made of steel accurately penetrated into the body of the beast, splashing blood flowers in a terrifying black wave.

The battle lasted from early morning to noon, and the black howling wolf, who could not get a cheap one, was forced to retreat amid the shrill howling sounds. They left hundreds of corpses, and even the strongest wolf king, was strongly axed on his legs, cutting off most of his feet. By the season when the female wolf was in heat this year, the disabled and weak would definitely be replaced by young and strong competitors, becoming the food that the wolf pack was forcibly divided during the hunger season.

People sang songs, pulled four-wheeled trucks, ran through the rugged and stone roads, slowly walked into the open village gate, and piled up thick wolf corpses like black mountains in the middle of the square.

The old priest who had just received the news stumbled out of his wooden house and ran out of his head, meeting Yonggang, the hunting captain who was rushing here.

"So many wolves... Oh my God! How many people died in our village?" The nervous-looking old priest was holding a pack of black wound medicine in his hand, and his eldest son Wu and his back were following him with a large animal skin bag. "Humans cannot defeat wild beasts", this is a memory imprint deeply portrayed in the old priest's mind. In Panshi Village, human-beast wars occur every year, and they have always suffered heavy casualties.

Yonggang took off his leather robe stained with a lot of blood, and wiped a handful of wolf blood that had already solidified on his forehead. His deep breathing pushed the chest muscles to rise and fall. His face was filled with excitement and emotion: "I'm not dead, and neither one died. Only two people were injured, and neither was seriously injured."

The old priest was stunned and then furious: "How is this possible? Yonggang, you can't tell lies with your eyes open."

"I really didn't lie to you!" Yonggang took the old priest's hand and sat down on the spot. He picked up a few small stones from the side and explained them vividly as a model.

Yonggang was the captain of the reserve force in the clan and was a person with a tactical vision in the village. He could understand Tianhao's way of building a fortress by the sea. In this way, the spitting stars flew everywhere, and the old priest was stunned. The two of them were so handsome that they attracted the attention of others. Many people gathered around, nodding while listening, and constantly expressing their opinions.

"If Ah Hao hadn't built that tower by the beach in advance, we wouldn't have beaten these wolves today."

"Ahao is a smart person. You don't think about it. If it weren't for Ahao, we would have survived until now? I'm afraid we would have starved to death!"

"This is a howling wolf! After so many years, when did our village kill so many wolves? And no one died."

"Ahao is a good leader, he is stronger than Fusong."

"that is."

The sounds around were messy, but the old priest could hear them clearly. He was not as dazzled as he saw the woman who was gradually following the steps of the man. Their faces were full of curiosity and strange brilliance was cast in their eyes. With men, it was not the turn of women to work hard. The tall and solid walls protected the women, but did not prevent them from knowing the ferocity of the wild beasts from the man. The eyes of the opposite sex were all focused on Tianhao standing in the distance. Some were shy, some did not hide their love, and some were even more direct. When the old priest saw them, he simply walked over and reached out to hold Tianhao's arm, and almost crawled into his arms in front of everyone.
