The man in the snow has always been reserved and calm. His short hair is spread out, slightly exposing his forehead. His long eyelashes have clear snow particles, and his gloomy eyebrows reveal a bit of emotionless indifference and innocence that is not familiar with the world.
He saw that Shen Lianqing was neither angry at her unreasonable troubles nor showed too much expression to her, but just looked at her quietly.
Shen Lianqing didn't like the look in his eyes, as if she was just a dead thing in his eyes. She raised her foot and kicked Ji Mao, who was lying in the snow, with contempt in her eyes, "Get up and let me push again."
"oh."
Ji Mao obediently climbed up from the snow and spread his arms again as she asked.
Once, twice, three times...
Shen Lianqing had a great time, and in the end she was content to follow Ji Mao with silver hair.
The direction they were heading towards was the other hunting area. There were usually not so many dangers here and certainly not that many prey. Ji Mao was used as a guide for Shen Lianqing along the way.
As she walked, she looked around and asked Ji Mao to explain the plants on the mountain to her. Ji Mao had to add another task.
Although he rarely came back over the years, every time he came back he would come to this mountain to explore the topography, so he was familiar with every road.
It's just that Ji Mao is not an old hunter after all, nor is he a knowledgeable doctor or a well-informed traveler. There are many things in the mountains that he can't name.
When Shen Lianqing pointed at a strange-shaped tree and asked him again, Ji Mao shut his mouth and stared at the tree with his eyes, as if he was trying to poke a hole in it.
Shen Lianqing waited for a long time but still didn't find out why. She was a little surprised and dissatisfied, "Aren't you very powerful? You don't even know what this tree is called?"
Ji Mao was carrying a basket on his back, and a lot of snow had fallen in it unknowingly. It was heavy, but he didn't seem to feel anything. He stood on the side of the tree, pursed his lips slightly and let Shen Lianqing teach him a lesson.
He stood there silently, tall, thin and powerful, and his simple winter coat integrated his temperament into the silent forest, as if he was part of the snow in the forest.
Shen Lianqing was speechless when she saw him like this. He scolded him but he didn't deserve it. He didn't seem to feel any pain when he hit him. Whatever he or she did, he was as calm as if he could hold countless abyss, without any response.
"Ji Mao."
"Um."
"Uh-huh!" She pushed the tree next to her and walked straight forward. The snow on the tree fell softly and fell on Ji Mao's head. He raised his hand to touch the snow above his head and lifted his feet into the snow. Here, follow her step by step.
The hunting destinations in the west are very large, and from time to time you can see some ferrets and silly roe deer running by. Shen Lianqing saw one and asked Ji Mao to catch one, but he refused.
Shen Lianqing became even more angry. Even if he couldn't answer the question when he asked him, why not ask him to hunt?
How could this be true? It really could not be true.
"Ji Er!" She grabbed his clothes fiercely and raised her eyebrows angrily, "What's the matter with you? Aren't you out hunting?!"
Ji Mao let her shake her body vigorously. She was dressed in gray plush and a lot of snow fell on her clothes. Her whole body was white, and she seemed to be as white as the snow.
The black pupils in the beautiful Danfeng's eyes were bright and burning because of her anger. Ji Mao lowered his eyes and looked at her hand on his chest, coldly and silently.
After she was shaken for a while and she was tired, Ji Mao said, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to go hunting today."
"Why not fight?" Shen Lianqing asked directly.
Ji Mao stared at her and seemed to sigh, "Hunting requires calmness and patience. If I stay with my sister-in-law all the time..."
He didn't say any more, but the rest of the meaning was self-evident. Shen Lianqing punched him in the chest, "You mean I hindered you?"
Ji Mao lowered his head in silence.
Not saying anything means admitting it.
"Okay, okay, Ji Mao, you--" Shen Lianqing didn't know what to scold him, her eyes turned from him to the basket behind him, "Since you know you can't hunt, why are you pretending to carry a basket?"
She thought that even if he couldn't hunt tigers, he could at least hunt deer, foxes, etc. But in the end, he couldn't even catch a squirrel. He was a waste!
"Sister-in-law." He put down the backpack on his back again, put it in front of her and poured out the snow inside, and said, "This backpack will be filled with some ginseng later."
"It's getting cold, and I want to make some soup for you, sister-in-law, to warm you up."
W-what?
Shen Lianqing was particularly concerned about taking advantage of things like this, and she was overjoyed when he heard what he said, "Really?"
"Um."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" She gave him a strange look and looked forward, "Where are we going?"
Ji Mao hung the backpack on one shoulder on the left side, stretched out his right hand and handed it to Shen Lianqing, "We will go up the mountain in a while, sister-in-law, hold on tight to me."
"Ji Mao! You still have your heart!" Shen Lianqing smiled like a flower. She was also afraid of danger and naturally listened to Ji Mao's words for once. She reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his hand directly.
Ji Mao ignored her nonsense. He led her through a downhill path first. There were some grasses buried in the snow. At first glance, he didn't find anything there, but when they walked down, the grasses became an obstacle for them. Trouble moving forward.
The path was very curved and crooked, and it would slip from time to time. If it weren't for the Ji Mao in front of him who was like a sea-fixing needle, Shen Lianqing would have fallen down countless times.
After passing the downhill path, we had to climb up again. After climbing for more than half an hour, Shen Lianqing was actually a little tired. She was so tired, there was a lot of snow, and it was super difficult to climb.
She shouldn't have come out to climb the mountain on a whim...
"Ji Xiaoer, how long until we arrive?" she asked.
Ji Mao silently measured the distance in his mind and replied, "There's still half an hour."
Half an hour?
That's an hour?
Shen Lianqing is really stuck. It's still an hour to go, but it will be more than an hour to go back. It's a dilemma.
"Ah Maung."
Her name for Ji Mao became Ah Maang again, and the name added to the name was a nickname that Shen Lianqing thought could shorten the distance between them.
Her self-righteous nickname sounds more like a pet than Xiao Fu. After all, the word "mai" in Ji Mao's name is homophonic to "cat".
The origin of this name is also because the parents of the two brothers are not well-educated, and their family has good genes and good looks. When they were young, they were often praised for their handsomeness, so they directly named them from the word "appearance".
Ji Mao walked in front, carrying a backpack with one hand and two hands on the other arm. All of Shen Lianqing's weight fell on his arm.
He turned around to look at her, his face was slightly gloomy without speaking, but Shen Lianqing saw a "What's wrong?" in his eyes.
