  At the beginning, Veria felt that it was enough to organize fifty Otto supporters. He never thought that as many as five hundred people were preparing to go north that night.

   I stayed in my house during the long winter, and the feeling of boredom became more and more irritating.

   went out to greet the leader's return, and this trip may have any unexpected gains outdoors.

  Some brave people are preparing, and some women have also spontaneously acted because their husbands have not returned with the leader Otto.

   The news of being priests reached these women's ears, and they firmly believed that their husbands were pacing hard in the snowy field with a lot of harvest, because there were too many prey, even a strong man could not easily carry them.

   Wife’s anxiety was wiped out, replaced by joy in the prospect of a bumper harvest.

   Nearly two hundred women, and some even took their children, one by one, dressed like bears, began to prepare sleds for pulling goods overnight. The sledge is loaded with a large amount of dry food, even animal hide tents for outdoor camping, wood logging and axe for killing wild animals.

   In the end, nearly a thousand people were organized, including men, women, and many children.

   Even Rurik himself was drawn into this mighty army by his mother Niya.

   More people saw that even the leader Otto’s wife and the highly anticipated Rurik had acted. The northbound search can no longer be called a search.

   is the warmest expression Roseburg made to the triumphant people.

   When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shattered **** the pale earth, the sense of holiness penetrated people's hearts.

   Everyone who had eaten started to act together, and the mighty team spontaneously constructed a broad search line to make it easier to find the returning people.

  Lurik also sat on the sled, dressed like a bear.

   Of course, he is completely different from the bear in that he always wears a knife in his waist to protect himself and cut meat.

   Like other women, Niya is dressed quite thickly, and she will pull her sled to move north.

   Not to mention, even if it is a woman, even if it is a snowboarder with some heavy provisions, everyone can still move faster on the snow.

  For Rurik, today’s action was actually his first departure from Roseburg in the fjord!

   left their homes protected by the hills. In order to go north, they walked directly on the frozen sea because the road was very smooth.

   is right next to Rurik, his cousin Arik is also trailing his sleigh, accompanied by his wife Peravina.

   The north wind is like a knife, watching the back of his mother struggling forward, he can't help but feel more worried.

   "Mom, should I go down and walk?" he suggested.

   "No! My child, at least now I can easily move you."

  Niya is really quite old, thanks to the usual eating too much red meat and fish, as well as a lot of physical work, her physical fitness is still very good.

  Lurik didn't say anything, he sat obediently during the short day, until night fell, people began to camp one after another.

   They carried a batch of charcoal blocks, so a bonfire soon appeared on the ice.

   There is no need to worry about the charcoal fire being the ice layer under the roasting camp. Because of the continuous freezing for more than ten days, the average flat thickness of the Gulf of Bothnia has exceeded one meter, and the ice layer is thicker closer to the coast.

   The people who go north to find some leaders are very smart. The road on this ice is indeed the most convenient.

  Otto certainly knew such a superior way back home, but his thoughts were finally changed due to the death of a large number of reindeer.

  Naturally no grass grows on the ice surface. Those deer who were forcibly expelled, only two days of walking on the ice surface caused a large number of deaths.

   Ottoben had a hundred deer trophies, and when he led the tribe to return to land operations again, there were only half of them.

  Because the nutrition of the grass under the snow is limited, reindeer do not hibernate. They will survive the whole winter, at the price of which they have to use the whole winter to eat grass.

   This is why the reindeer must graze in winter.

   If they can have a lot of grains, they can feed the deer with this kind of extremely nutritious food, but that is absolutely impossible.

   Feeding reindeer with wheat is really incredible.

   But he can't get enough energy, but he has to drag the sleigh and the relaxed and comfortable Roth man sitting on the sleigh. Forcibly running for more than two hundred kilometers can cause a large number of reindeer to die.

   Reindeer, although they are traditional species in the Arctic Circle, they migrate for hundreds of kilometers every year.

   They naturally have extremely strong endurance, but this is definitely not a reason to abuse animal power.

  The smart deer breeders will not madly order their own deer, and go hungry for a few days to walk through the migration route that they completed in two months.

   Otto and his men are not deer breeders, and their attitude towards deer is also predatory. If the deer can return to Roseburg alive, they can continue to breed for a period of time to try to get more value. If they die halfway, don’t worry, the owner of the deer can immediately strip off the precious deer skin and antlers. The remaining venison is The best dry food.

   Regardless of whether they have done meritorious services or not, they have at least two deer.

   Now everyone has to face the terrible reality, and many people are left with the last stagnant deer.

   Some of Otto’s subordinates helped him drive away the deer, and he himself had to stare at the last deer-raiser girl.

  The half-dead deer is not a catastrophic problem. Many of his men went to deal with the deer carcasses, the skins went to the leader, and the venison went to his men.

   The opportunity to easily obtain a large amount of delicious red meat is right in front of him. Fifty heads of venison belonging to Otto quickly turned into pieces of meat, and quite a few have already entered the belly of the masses.

   Otto, he still cares about the deer girl most.

   Along the way, this child doesn't cry or make trouble, but sits quietly on a sled wrapped in thick leather. She ate meat, she also drank water, and she had no intention of running away for a few days.

   "This kind of person is simply a natural servant?"

   Otto became more and more curious~www.novelhall.com~ As everyone knows, the girl saw her deer being eaten by barbarians, and her heart was bleeding.

   But what else can a child who has lost all his family and been controlled by barbarians do?

   She didn't understand the language of the barbarians, and now she showed complete obedience, but she didn't want to die. Because she is now cowardly, she has not the courage to commit suicide like her own mother did. He was also very unlucky, not being frozen to death like his brothers and sisters.

   But he is the only one who lives, and his hands and feet are still bound.

She didn’t know where she was going to be escorted, but looking at the current situation, before she determined her fate, she was afraid that her deer would have to die of exhaustion and starve to death on the vast snowy field, and her personal fate would be similar. Tragedy.

   The girl remained silent. She longed that after falling asleep one day, she would never see the sun again.

   It happens that I have been alive, but the deer are declining day by day.

   Otto and his party turned back to the old road. According to the marks left before, everyone basically determined their geographic location.

  Everyone is also very happy, at most two or three days to go back to Roseburg.

   The only thing that is unhappy is that the deer pulling their sleds are all dead. The two-day journey I was afraid to take three days or more, because on their sledges were not only their various snow camping equipment, those large amounts of animal skins, and a large amount of frozen meat, they brought Heavier weight.

   It’s a good thing to return with a full load. It’s more hopeful that you can bring them back without too much effort.

  Otto hopes that his team in Roseburg can send someone to help you bring the baby back, let alone the people of Roseburg have missed you for too long.

   "Maybe I should send someone a shortcut to inform them immediately!"
