What will people become when they discover a terrifying secret?

Yang Fan's reaction was to pretend that she had never discovered the secret. The person she was going to cheat was herself.

From that day on, she ate and slept as usual, and did not react particularly when she saw Nick. She would not deliberately avoid him, nor would she be too close to her.

She needs time to think about whether she has any other choice.

She has never given up leaving Nick's own life. At present, it seems that this goal is not completely hopeless.

For example, the land she is in now does not have predators that are more terrifying than the Nixons. If she could avoid the Nixons, she might not be eaten by other wild animals.

For example, this world has a long and warm season, and the "Autumn" that lasts about two years. If summer and spring are included, the weather in this world is still very suitable for her to live.

For example, the food she knows so far, potatoes, winter melons, eggs and dates, and pot fruits, can be regarded as her food, and potatoes can also be stored.

The only problem is that she needs to find a place to live, a cave, or a tree hole, or she can try to build a straw shed that almost allows her to nest. This is the only one she has not solved, but it should not be too difficult.

So, it seems that everything is ready. She can leave Nick at any time.

But there are two prerequisites. The first is that Nick will not catch up after she escapes. If he chases her, she must be able to escape.

The second is how long is the coming winter now and is this season very dangerous.

Yang Fan decided to stay by Nick's side first, spend this winter while ensuring food and safety before considering whether to escape.

The Nixons are preparing for the coming winter. They are divided into two parts, part of which goes out to hunt every day, and the food they get is stored at the entrance of the cave. The other part is to dig the cave deeper.

Yang Fan found that the Nixons had no leader, and their behavior seemed to be spontaneous. There was no certain requirement for whom to hunt and who stayed to dig holes. There was no difference in the distribution of food. Every Nixons could freely use the food he wanted, and they would not waste it.

From that day Nick brought her potatoes back, the Nicksons seemed to have discovered the benefits of potatoes. They used it to trap dirt rats, and she guessed that Nick taught them this method.

She sneaked to the entrance of the cave, where the earth rats piled three layers inside and outside along the stone wall on the inside of the cave, but the outer layer of the stored earth rats surrounded the gravel from the cave, as if they wanted to protect the food.

Are there other animals who come to grab food?

Yang Fan felt that she might see other predators in this world except the Nixons this winter. I don’t know which of the two is stronger.

Looking at the number of those earth rats, she was worried that the Nixons might kill all the earth rats nearby. If this is true, then after spring comes tomorrow, if the number of earth rats decreases, what should the Nixons use as the main food?

Yang Fan felt that her worries were ridiculous and sad. She could not teach the Nixons to protect ecological balance and leave a way out for the earthly rats so that they would not have food to eat in the end. So now she clearly thought of this possibility, but she could not do anything.

She would go to the entrance of the cave every day to take a look. The Nixons hunted very quickly and had more food every day. In addition to a large number of earth rats, there were also many horse and cows and cows. She could now see the difference between them.

When she first saw that the animals that were almost the same as those in the cave turned into food and stored here, she was shocked, and then she felt sad and cold in her lips. Obviously, in addition to the few heads that happened to be picked as partners, even those of the same race would be treated as food by the Nixons.

She restrained herself from thinking about these things, but she still couldn't help but feel that she might be really lucky. Thinking about this way, the Nixons' estrus should be between autumn and winter. During this period, they will find suitable females to reproduce, and all except this period are food.

If she appeared in front of Nick now, she would probably be eaten immediately by him as food.

The Nixons hunted very smoothly. Even if they kept catching the animals, many animals rushed to the mountains every day. Yang Fan once saw seven or eight Nixons rushing towards a group of horses and cows. They ran around and advanced to a higher place. Those who fell behind would be caught and killed.

Back in the cave, she saw the horse and cow that was raised by the Nixons again. It looked bright in fur, lying on the warm ground, slowly chewing on the grass in its mouth. Compared with its other similarities, it was so happy that it made people angry.

It's also scary.

Yang Fan found that, including her, all the animals raised here by the Nixons were very quiet and obedient, and they did not want to escape nor resist.

She was afraid that she would eventually become a pig and dog that was tamed by Nick. Even if he really wanted to kill her, she would not have the ability to resist, and she would not even have the consciousness of resisting, just like these animals.

Yang Fan began to spend more time outside the cave. No Nixons mistakenly thought she was killed by prey. She guessed that Nixons actually had a way to distinguish similar auras. For example, Nixons often used their tongue to clean her, so these Nixons did not kill her like those horses and cows.

She would not walk far away, but only wandered at the entrance of the cave. The cave was a hole suddenly dug at the hillside, and there was not even a slope for buffering in front of her. This should prevent some animals from climbing up to steal food or attacking the cave, and they could be easily pushed down at the entrance.

Looking out here, the sky and the earth are white. The thick clouds can completely cover the sky and press down on the earth.

There are no traces of the rays on the ground. The rays on the ground may be yellow and dry, and I don’t know where the wind has been blown. The dark brown ground is exposed, and it seems that there is a layer of white frost on it.

Looking down from Black Stone Mountain, the earth in front of you seemed to be a slightly downward slope, with no trees nearby, and the forest was just a small black dot in the distance.

Yang Fan stood at the entrance of the cave. After several days, he felt that something seemed to have rushed down from the top of the mountain and became such an obvious slope. This is also the reason why there were no forests nearby. Maybe there were some before, but after being washed away by something, the nearby forest was wiped out, leaving only the forest in the distance.

She guessed that there were three possibilities when rushing down from the top of the mountain.

1. When a volcano erupts, it is magma that rushes down.

2. Mudslides are landslides caused by heavy rain. From a distance, there is no vegetation on Blackstone Mountain, which is very likely.

Three, melting snow. It can also cause mudslides.

She used the method of elimination for these three possibilities. For example, the Nixons ran to Blackstone Mountain to spend the winter, which means that the volcano is not at risk of eruption for the time being. If it is caused by a volcano, it should be a matter of recent years since the forest did not grow up nearby. Therefore, the volcano is eliminated.

Mudslides caused by heavy rain or snow melting. She hasn't seen rain since she came, but it's not a desert, so there must be rainy season. There is little possibility of heavy rain in winter, so heavy rain can be lined up behind a volcano.

In the end, only the melting snow remained.

If the snow melt after winter can have such a big impact, then the winter here will be less simple.

Yang Fan thought that the winter, which conservatively estimated that the two-year period would be able to change the snow, would become heavier and heavier.

She didn't know if she could really survive this winter.

The potatoes used by the Nixons to trap soil rats were useless after the prey was arrested. Yang Fan was worried that when winter came, the Nixons would probably withhold her and these animals' food. So she wanted Nixons to help her bring back the potatoes that Nixons abandoned.

She left all the potatoes Nick gave her to make dried potatoes, and then signaled to him with the dried potatoes. She imitated him and made a cooing sound. Although it was not very similar, it still worked. I don’t know if it was because she made all the potatoes into dried potatoes, or if her imitation was successful, Nick began to bring her a few more potatoes every day.

Whenever he gave her the potatoes, she showed exaggerated joy by the big belly monkey.

Since she can't communicate with words, she will use behavior. She regrets why she didn't think of this move earlier.

So she would take the potatoes and circle him happily, adding words: "I'm so happy!" and then laughed. It looked silly, but Nick's reaction was very good, and he seemed to finally understand what she meant.

She then added many moves, such as hugging him, shaking his hands or tail, and doing everything possible to show that she was happy for the potatoes he gave her.

And stared into his eyes, made sure he was looking at her, and then called her the name she gave him: "Nick."

He began to bring back more potatoes for her. Because eggs were not easy to preserve, she began to refuse to eat meat and eggs. She said that the only food she ate was potatoes and she didn't eat anything else.

Nick was a little uncomfortable with the change in her recipe at first, but he was not opposed to her storing dried potatoes.

She took Nick to choose another place close to the stone wall and used it as their nest in the corner. She piled all the dried potatoes inside and she always stayed outside. This might be her food for the next two years, and she would not give them to anyone.

Other animals were attracted by dried potatoes and showed some interest, but Yang Fan picked up the skeleton of a cow and horse, first grind off the blood-stained meat with a stone, and then placed it in front as a barrier. When Nick was away, she did this, effectively preventing the animals from running to her territory.

Her dried potatoes were collected quickly because the potatoes used to trap soil rats were dug up by other Nixons, and in a considerable number, all Nick had to do was bring them back. When the corner she chose was filled, the dried potatoes collected were like a mountain behind her, able to bury her completely underneath.

Yang Fan had to expand her territory. She was cautiously afraid that other Nixons would be dissatisfied, but found that she expanded her territory so much that those Nixons would avoid it accordingly. They seemed not to object to her possession of too many places.

But she wanted to collect dried potatoes until she could no longer collect them, so she didn't know how many dried potatoes she would store. Of course, it wouldn't work if she was too much.

Later she thought of a solution, and she asked Nick to help her dig a few more stone chambers in the hole wall that had been dug, just like he used to hollow out the stones and make a home for them.

After Nick came back, she held him and stood in front of the hole wall, and took his hand to scratch the hole wall. After a few times, he understood what she meant. He helped her dig several storage holes, and the hole entrance was as small as the stone cave they lived in before, and could only get in like a dog hole and cat hole.

She moved all the dried potatoes inside and breathed a sigh of relief, so that she would not have to worry about other animals stealing her dried potatoes, nor would she have to watch them every day. As long as she blocked the hole, she would not believe that those who looked like cows and horses could stretch their hooves in and get them.

And in this case, no matter how many dried potatoes are, you won’t be afraid of having no place to put them.

Yang Fan, who was so happy and excited that he was a little out of control, hugged Nick who was helping her dig a storage hole and kissed him hard on the face covering Xiaoxiaolin.
