It has snowed several times in the past few days, and the mountains are already completely white. The branches are covered with ice. The wind blows the branches, and the ice crystals collide and make a sweet sound, like wind chimes.
Su Yuncheng walked in front, and Lin Nianhe followed in his footsteps. After walking for a while, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Su Yuncheng's clothes.
Su Yuncheng stopped immediately and turned around to ask her, "Are you tired? Can I carry you?"
Lin Nianhe looked back at the winding road for about twenty meters, and couldn't figure out why Su Yuncheng dared to say that she was tired.
She breathed out the white mist and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I'm just afraid of getting lost, so I want to drag you with me."
Su Yuncheng's eyes were full of tenderness, and he stretched out his hand towards her, motioning for her to grab his hand.
The two people's hands held each other through gloves, and Lin Nianhe followed closer.
The snow crumbled beneath their feet, crunching for help.
Lin Nianhe held his hand with one hand and put the other on his arm. As he walked, he said, "I plan to take Niu Wa to see Uncle Niu next week. Now that the news has passed, it should be okay, right? "
Su Yun admitted that he really thought about it for a moment and nodded: "There is no problem. Are you going on a day off? I'll say hello to Uncle Liu in advance."
"Well, it's a day off, but don't tell Uncle Liu yet. I'll go to Uncle Wang's for a walk and talk about it when I get back."
Lin Nianhe didn't know what he wanted to do, but Su Yuncheng immediately asked: "Do you want them to meet outside the prison?"
"There really are no secrets in front of you," Lin Nianhe complained, but there was no hint of displeasure on her face. She explained, "There are so many people in the prison that it's hard for the two of them to say anything about themselves." , and I don’t want Niu Wa to go to jail all the time.”
Su Yuncheng nodded and said with a smile: "It's probably impossible for others to make such a request, but if you say it, it should be no problem."
To the extent that Wang Xiao was completely obedient to Lin Nianhe, he could even go to the prison in person to pick up Uncle Niu.
The two of them discussed the details of the matter as they walked.
The snow on the mountain is so thick that it can reach up to our ankles. Su Yuncheng was still walking ahead, and Lin Nianhe stepped on his footprints. Occasionally, he would step askew, and his boots would turn white from the snow.
Lin Nianhe couldn't help but sigh: "It's not even December yet and there's such heavy snow. Will it really be impossible to come to this mountain after a while?"
"If it snows a few more times, the snow on the mountain will be up to the knees, and it will bury people if it falls flat." Su Yuncheng held her hand firmly, "so there are quite a lot of people going up the mountain recently."
"It seems that when we wait for tomorrow, phew, I have to emphasize to my classmates not to go up the mountain..."
The snow was deep and walking was particularly strenuous. Lin Nianhe was a little breathless.
"Wait a moment."
Su Yuncheng suddenly stopped. After Lin Nianhe stood firm, he let go of her hand and took out the slingshot from the bag.
Lin Nianhe saw the white rabbit in the snow at a glance. It almost blended into the surrounding snow, like a naughty elf running out.
Lin Nianhe's eyes lit up: "What a cute rabbit!"
Su Yuncheng had already opened the slingshot. When he heard her say this, his hand moved slightly, and the aiming point moved from the rabbit's head to the hind legs.
The pebbles flew out with a whoosh, and the little rabbit was hit on its hind legs. It felt danger coming and wanted to escape, but it couldn't move because of its leg injury.
"Stand here and don't move."
Su Yuncheng gave instructions, then quickly ran over, picked up the rabbit's ears, and carried it back.
He handed the rabbit to Lin Nianhe and said, "It only hurt its leg, nothing serious."
She just said it was cute, so she probably wanted to keep it, right? But wild rabbits are not easy to feed. If they die...
Su Yuncheng was thinking about how he should comfort her if the rabbit was raised to death, when he heard her say: "Such a cute rabbit must be delicious when braised in braised pork!"
Su Yuncheng: "..."
Although he didn't understand whether the rabbit was cute or not and whether it was delicious or not, he felt she was right.
Su Yuncheng asked tentatively: "Then kill it?"
"Okay, what if it runs away?" Lin Nianhe nodded without any psychological pressure.
Because it was in front of Lin Nianhe, Su Yuncheng gave up the rough method of seeing blood. He turned around, his back to Lin Nianhe and twisted it casually, and the cute rabbit died.
The two continued to move forward, and Lin Nianhe suddenly asked: "Brother Yun Cheng, you said before that the villagers would go up the mountain before the heavy snow closed the mountain, so would the wolves and tigers on the mountain also come down the mountain at this time to look for food? ?”
Today's mountains are not mountains where future generations of monkeys can become bandits. There are really wolves and tigers here!
Su Yuncheng thought she was scared and comforted her: "I have a gun, it's okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a trembling sound of branches coming from the front left.
Lin Nianhe naturally heard it. She frowned and looked over, and saw a four-legged beast that looked like a deer but not a deer, looking towards them.
Lin Nianhe recognized it at a glance: "Silly Roe Deer?"
She had encountered this magical animal when she and Wen Lan and Wang Shumei went up the mountain for the first time. Later, she got a fever. She heard that the silly roe deer they met by chance brought the whole family to watch the fun... and then she was found on the mountain. Their fellow villagers gathered together.
Thinking about how this guy would become a protected animal in the future, Lin Nianhe felt that he should be let go.
She said: "Brother Yun Cheng, I think it looks quite silly. Will it make you stupid after eating it?"
Su Yuncheng had already found the pebble. When he heard what she said, he loosened his fingers and the pebble fell back into his pocket: "Then don't hit it."
"Well, it's not a threat anyway, just let it watch."
Lin Nianhe wanted to let it go, but the roe deer refused.
It was disturbed by their footsteps and ran away. After a while... it followed them again.
Those clear eyes seemed to be asking them: Why don't you two hit me?
Lin Nianhe was speechless and sighed softly: "Natural selection."
Su Yuncheng thought Lin Nianhe liked the roe deer, and even though it came back and forth toward them, he did not kill it.
The roe deer seemed to have seen some new species, running back and forth near the two of them.
For the first time, Lin Nianhe felt like he was being treated like an animal!
And it hasn’t even gotten tickets yet!
"How about beating it to death? It'll make me dizzy..."
Lin Nianhe suddenly paused mid-sentence.
She heard other sounds besides the squeaking footsteps of the silly roe deer.
Heavier, slower, duller, like a beast ready to pounce on its prey.
Before she could issue a warning, Su Yuncheng had already drawn his gun. He threw the rabbit aside and whispered to Lin Nianhe: "Follow the footprints and run back, hurry up!"
Lin Nianhe followed the sound and looked over, only to see a black wild boar nearly two meters long with tusks staring at them eagerly.
There were no wolves or tigers, but they had entered the territory of wild boars.
