It had been snowing all night, and it was really cold without a door. If they hadn't blocked it with branches and leaves in the middle of the night, the snow would have drifted in and accumulated quite thickly.
Shen Tianhuan woke up first and moved the branches away. The snow had already buried half of the tree hole. When he poked his head out, he stuck his palm into the snow and his hand was numb from the cold.
As the daylight came in, Zhang Hanju also woke up. Due to vomiting and diarrhea yesterday, her face was still very pale, and the corners of her lips were dry and without a trace of blood.
Shen Tianhuan said, "I'll go out for a while, but don't come out yet. The snow is very thick outside."
Zhang Hanju's voice became hoarse. She stood up from the ground without saying anything, held a handful of snow at the door, and was about to stuff it into her mouth. Shen Tianhuan knocked it away, "You still eat snow?"
She asked what happened, "It melted in my mouth and it was all water."
Shen Tianhuan shook his head helplessly. He wanted to say something to her but was worried that she was in a hurry. "The snow is not clean. I will go find something and come back. Don't eat randomly."
"You are such a particular person." He completely forgot about yesterday's incident of vomiting to the point of not seeing the light of day.
Shen Tianhuan went out, tied some thin branches under a thicker stick, and swept the snow away around the tree hole.
After he cleaned up, Zhang Hanju saw the scenery outside through the tree hole.
"Wow, it looks like a cream cake."
"Huh?" He didn't understand her metaphor for a moment.
Zhang Hanju pointed outside and said, "Look at the sky, the woods, and the snow. Don't they look like the three layers of a cream cake? The blue sky, the black woods, and the white snow."
He was amused by her, "Are you hungry?"
She said yes, "Aren't you hungry?"
Shen Tianhuan took the gun in his hand and walked out, following her, "What are you doing out here? It's cold outside."
"I'll help you. If you meet them, you will be beaten to death in this snowy day."
"I'm not out looking for them, I'm looking for food."
Zhang Hanju said, "Then I'll go with you. If you can't catch the prey, I can help you."
Shen Tianhuan's footsteps stopped on the ground, and Zhang Hanju asked, "Why don't you leave? I got a gun."
At this moment, he suddenly became violent and pushed her down on the snow with his backhand. The snow foam covered her face and body, "What are you doing? You are sick!" Zhang Hanju used his tricks to make no distinction between friend and foe. Really puzzled.
Shen Tianhuan pressed her shoulders to prevent her from getting up immediately, "You are very weak now. You can't even beat me. If you really meet them, you will only become a burden to me."
Zhang Hanju's lips turned even paler due to the cold wind. She bit her lips and said unwillingly, "That's because I didn't know you would suddenly attack me."
She just wanted to fight back against Shen Tianhuan when she let go and said, "Get up."
Zhang Hanju didn't take the hand he extended, he stood up and dusted the snow off his body, "Okay, you go by yourself, I'll wait for you in the tree house."
She knew he meant well.
Zhang Hanju returned to the tree house, where the fire had been put out. She followed Shen Tianhuan's example and used flint and steel to light the velvet whiskers and burn the remaining branches.
With the fire, she no longer trembled. When she walked out just now, even her steps were weak.
She said she wanted to help him, but in fact she was worried that she would be left behind. It would be okay to freeze or starve to death, but once she closed her eyes, if she had a companion, she felt that she could hold on for a while, as long as she was not killed. Just throw it away.
When she almost burned the remaining branches, Shen Tianhuan hadn't come back yet.
Zhang Hanju said to himself, if he dared to run away and leave her alone, she would kill him first, and then kill the others to end the three rounds, but then she thought about it, if he ran away, she would actually find him soon. He's gone.
Plop, plop, there were heavy footsteps on the snow, solidifying the soft white snow.
Zhang Hanju touched the gun behind him and did not panic. He just waited to see who was coming.
It was Shen Tianhuan's voice, "I hunted a deer."
He left the deer in front of the tree house, and the sweat he produced turned into cold sweat when the wind blew it, as if it was freezing.
Zhang Hanju's eyes widened and he lost all thoughts of killing him, "What, you hunted a deer?!"
She ran out excitedly, "You are amazing. I don't know that you have any ability to survive in the wild."
The two of them made the most of the deer.
He removed the deer bones and handed them to Zhang Hanju, "Do you still want this?"
Zhang Hanju asked him, "Did you use a lot of bullets when hunting?"
"Um."
Zhang Hanju looked at the deer bones and said, "I'll use the deer bones to grind them into a sharp weapon, and then tie it to a branch. This will become a harpoon, and it can be used to hunt rabbits next time."
"Okay, then grind it."
As Shen Tianhuan spoke, he started to skin the deer with the knife Zhang Hanju gave him, "What do you think about us using this to cover the tree hole to block the wind?"
Zhang Hanju said it wasn't necessary, "We won't stay here long anyway, but the animal skins can help us keep warm, so you can handle it."
Watching him handle the venison, Zhang Hanju couldn't help but say, "The two of us really look like the male and female protagonists in farming novels."
Shen Tianhuan said it didn't seem like it, "The two of us are just hunting, not farming and doing business, and we haven't sold pigs to the water yet, so it doesn't count as a farming novel."
The two of them had a hearty meal of venison, which was roasted and sizzling with oil, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. After Zhang Hanju finished eating, he saw him cutting off both ends of a rotten branch, and there was a small hole in the middle. "You can make it with this. What?"
"You'll find out by nightfall."
The inside of the tree hole used to become pitch black as night fell, but now Shen Tianhuan put deer oil in the groove in the wood block and used a piece of cloth as a wick, which turned into a lamp.
Zhang Hanju was holding the lamp, and the shadow of her long eyelashes was cast in the tree hole. She looked innocent like a child. She looked at the lamp curiously, "It's so beautiful."
The light is not very bright, but it is enough to illuminate the dark tree hole. It is cold and freezing outside, and the wind will sweep across the snow, even leaving crooked wind traces on the new snow. Only there is warmth here.
She held the lamp, and her face was illuminated softly, as if she was such a soft person.
Shen Tianhuan looked at her and didn't say much.
"Why don't we get married before we can escape from here?" Zhang Hanju said with long eyelashes like butterflies.
"Ah?" He was stunned for three or four seconds and asked her, "What did you say?"
A voice suddenly rang out from the surroundings, "Violation of the no-confession rule, violation of the no-confession rule."
Zhang Hanju pointed to the top of his head, "Did you hear the others talking?"
Shen Tianhuan was still immersed in her last sentence, "What did you just say?"
"The weapons you equipped in the third round will be taken away." The voice came again. Zhang Hanju covered her ears, but it was no use. Sound poured into her ears from all directions.
After saying that, Zhang Hanju touched his back and found that the gun was gone.
During a shootout in the jungle, when she met the four of them, she pulled out a wooden stick and pointed it at their guns. Wasn't this just telling her to wait for death?
She quickly recalled the seven rules, "Bullshit, what happened before, then we haven't returned to the manor at night, why didn't we take away our weapons?"
The voice had already thought of its words and replied, "The law does not punish the public."
She was stunned. She didn't expect that the game system explained all the rules. It must be Zhong Xingfeng or the project team who was deliberately trying to mess with her.
If you are so deceptive, how can you take away her guns just because she said something out of her mind?
"If I said...my gun was gone, maybe lost, or maybe it disappeared, would you be very...unable to accept this fact?" Zhang Hanju asked him tentatively.
Shen Tianhuan said, "Why did you suddenly propose to me?"
Zhang Hanju breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems you don't care."
She looked at the lamp and calmed down, "Because you can make such a cool lamp."
"Um?"
"Isn't this reason enough?"
Shen Tianhuan couldn't help laughing, "What kind of reason is that?"
"I've never been married to anyone else, so I'm giving you an advantage." Who knows if he has married other users in the game after playing so many games.
Shen Tianhuan looked serious and told her, "This is not a joke."
"I'm not joking."
He asked, "Do you love me?"
Zhang Hanju was amused by this sudden love, "Who can say whether you love someone or not these days? How old-fashioned."
"I will only be with the people I love, the people who love me."
This character is designed to be quite noble and does not like to make messy jokes with women. It is estimated that many female programmers in the project team participated in his design, so he tried to fit the perfect imagination of women.
Zhang Hanju stops talking nonsense. Isn't this character much nobler than many people in the real world?
In the fast food society, who cares about love or not? Houses are neatly opposite each other, bamboo gates to bamboo gates, rich families to rich families, as long as they are well-matched. Love and marriage cannot be equated in many cases.
She thought of an interesting question, "Have you seen "The Holy Girl"?"
"No, what is it?"
"I often watched an anime when I was a child. At that time, my brother liked the heroine in it, and I liked the hero in it. My brother said that when he grows up, he will marry the heroine Haqiu. I said no Maybe, because she is fake, just a cartoon character, she is in an illusory world and shows her charm according to the settings given to her by the plot."
It's getting dark and it's starting to snow again.
"He will probably be very sad if you break his fantasy too early." Shen Tianhuan said.
"I also regret telling him that he did cry and that I was not a good sister."
"If you could go back to that time now, would you still say that to him?"
"No, but I still think so in my heart." Zhang Hanju said.
A real person will not fall in love with someone in comics or anime.
You may like it and be obsessed with it, but that is definitely not love.
"If the heroine comes to his world, can't they be together?" Shen Tianhuan suddenly asked her.
She was stunned by this question and laughed, "Hamei Haigaoka wouldn't steal things everywhere in the real world. She would steal things one day and be caught the next day."
Rapid footsteps suddenly approached, and the snow was quiet, but the voice of the uninvited guest was particularly noisy.
Shen Tianhuan gave her the gun, put his finger between his lips, and signaled her to be quiet.
