Recorded Across Generations.
For Those Who Come After.
在北地，天地本身，就是那头猛兽。 冻死的猎人，远比爪牙下丧命的多。严寒会耗尽你的火，在任何有齿之物赶到之前，先取你性命。 熬过了严寒的人，还得提防钩吾山上那头饕餮。它羊身人面，虎齿，专以人为食。它吞下一个又一个，从不停口，也从不见饱。 再往北，白雪深处，偶尔能望见一只小白鸟，衔着一枚石子飞向大海。那是精卫，一个溺亡后化作鸟的少女。她誓要将那片夺走她性命的海一口口填平。她永远填不满，可她，从未停下。 北地万物皆有耐心。北地万物，皆无仁慈。
In the north, the land itself is the beast. The cold kills more hunters than beasts ever have. It freezes you and takes your life long before anything with teeth can reach you. Hunters venturing deeper must beware of Tao Tie on Mount Gouwu. A beast with the body of a sheep, a human face, and tiger fangs, it feeds on people, swallowing one after another, never stopping, never full. Farther north, deep in the snow, you may sometimes glimpse a bird carrying a stone toward the sea. That is Jing Wei, a girl who drowned and returned as a bird, sworn to fill the sea that took her life, one stone at a time. She will never succeed, but she has never stopped trying. Everything in the north is patient, but nothing in the north is kind.
