Fang Yuan couldn't help but was too cold, so he quickly closed the door and went to the fire to warm himself up. However, as he got closer, the aroma of the broth in the earthen pot was so strong that it inhaled the tip of his nose, making it even more uncomfortable.
Yang Shuo looked at the rabbit in the earthen pot and was surprised: "Did you catch another rabbit?"
Xihe cut a few pieces of mountain red and threw them into the earthen jar: "Yeah." His expression was light.
Yang Shuo pursed his lips and became silent.
Earthen pots cook things slowly and can only be cooked slowly. Xihe added fire to the fire for half an hour before it was finally cooked.
Fang Yuan and the others inhaled the aroma of meat and felt even hungrier. However, they could only watch as Tan Nu went outside to call for help. Then Zhou Yan and Pang He walked in covered with snow. They even stamped their feet at the door and patted the snow off their bodies. .
"Eat." Xihe sat down on the stool.
Zhou Yan and Pang He nodded and sat down on the haystacks nearby.
There is only one stool in the room. The stool under Ji Qing's butt and the stool Xihe is sitting on is the folding plastic stool Zhou Yan brought with him when he went out. Fortunately, there is some dead grass in the room, otherwise the others would have to sit on the branches.
I saw three people sitting together, eating a piece of food and eating with their mouths full of oil, without any intention of greeting them.
The faces of Fang Yuan and others turned darker and darker, and they couldn't help but said: "Zhou Yan, aren't you going too far!"
Xihe leisurely took a bite of the tender meat: "Excessive? Excuse me, did you hunt the rabbit in this pot, or did you pick up the firewood? You didn't pay anything, and you still want to take advantage of it."
Just now, Zhou Yan and Pang He were clearing snow outside, but each of them was warming themselves by the fire in the house. She hadn't found any trouble yet.
Lin Lei stared at her: "Tan Nu, don't think that with Zhou Yan protecting you, I won't dare to do anything to you."
Xihe: "Oh, then let your horse come over."
Lin Lei stood up with a bang, clenching his fists and about to rush over.
Yang Shuo stopped him firmly: "Lin Lei, don't be impulsive!" Then he looked at Zhou Yan and said, "Zhou Yan, we don't want to take advantage. It's just that the snow is so heavy outside that we can't go out even if we want to find food."
"Everyone had a tiring day yesterday. Can you see if you can..."
It was a bit embarrassing to say it, but the idea was to share the rabbit meat with them.
Zhou Yan put down his chopsticks and raised his eyes: "Xiaozi, our food didn't just appear for nothing. We went out to find it in the heavy snow. Even the firewood was brought back bit by bit by He Zi and I despite the cold. There will be more in the future. I don’t know how many days it will snow, I have to think about Nunuo and He Zi.”
"Besides, don't you still have food?"
He will never help until the situation is desperate.
What's more, after two days of abandoning them and leaving, it remains to be considered whether Yang Shuo and others are worthy of help.
Yang Shuo's face suddenly stiffened, but Zhou Yan said it so straightforwardly, and he couldn't continue to pester him. He could only sit back in silence, but he didn't notice that Ji Qing looked at him with a trace of disgust.
After finishing the meal, Pang He took the earthen pot and chopsticks and went outside to wash them with snow, while Zhou Yan took a long stick to sweep the snow from the roof.
The wooden house has been built for who knows how many years. If the snow is too heavy and keeps piling up, it may be crushed. He is tall and has long legs, and he can quickly sweep the snow away with a long stick. However, after a day and night, the snow is very thick, and it is quite ineffective to sweep it away.
Xihe also went over to help, poking and poking with a stick, but he got too close and the snow pile fell down and submerged her.
"Zhou Yan!"
Xihe thumped hard.
Zhou Yan was startled and quickly ran over to dig people out.
After digging the person out of the snowdrift, Xihe spat out the snow in his mouth, and the tip of his nose was red.
Zhou Yan took off his gloves and gently wiped the snow off her face. Seeing that she was shrinking her neck from the cold, she hurriedly said: "Come in quickly, I don't need your help here."
Xihe shook his head and saw that he was frowning as if he wanted to continue persuading him. Suddenly he became evil-minded and suddenly threw the man down and stuffed a handful of snow into his neck.
Zhou Yan instantly shuddered: "Nu Nuo!"
Xihe rubbed the snowballs with his hands and chuckled: "Come and play snowballs."
Zhou Yan: "...cold."
Xihe raised his eyebrows, then threw away the snowball, and a cold hand touched his face: "Is it cold? Hey, Zhou Yan, your eyelashes are so long."
A cold fingertip gently poked his eyelashes.
The girl's eyes were full of curiosity, and then her fingertips moved from her eyelashes to the tip of her nose to...
Zhou Yan trembled all over, pushed the man away, picked up the stick and ran to sweep away the snow: "Hurry inside, it's cold outside!"
Xihe was sitting in the snow with a confused look on her face. Just then, there was a coughing sound next to her. She looked over and saw Pang He, who had a guilty look on his face and hurriedly went to sweep away the snow with a wooden stick.
She rolled her eyes, got up from the ground, and continued to help clear the snow.
The three of them were clearing away the snow despite the heavy snowfall, but as soon as the snow was swept away, a thin layer was spread on top.
The Xihe in the middle was submerged in snow again. After Zhou Yan dug it out again, he refused to let her continue to clear the snow.
Xihe: ...Okay.
She held the pheasant in her hand and prepared to enter the house.
Zhou Yan hurriedly called to her: "What is that in your hand?"
Xihe lifted it up and shook it: "Pheasant, I just buried it in the snow and picked it up."
Zhou Yan:? ? ?
"Why are there pheasants here?"
I frowned so hard that I could kill a mosquito, and I couldn't help but think of the rabbit that hit the tree in the woods yesterday, which was very strange.
Xihe shook his head: "I don't know, I touched it as soon as I touched it. I probably wanted to run to the wooden house to hide from the snow, but ended up freezing to death on the road." She looked at him and smiled, "We can eat roast chicken today."
After saying that, without waiting for him to continue speaking, he carried the pheasant and scurried into the house.
Zhou Yan: "..."
Frowning, he picked up the wooden stick and prepared to continue sweeping the snow. When he turned his head, he saw Pang He immersed in digging out the snow.
"……What are you doing?"
Pang He: "Let me see if I can dig up a pheasant! If Tan Nu digs one, I will definitely be able to dig one too."
Zhou Yan suddenly didn't know what to say.
Xihe carried the pheasant into the house, and everyone in the house was shocked: "Pheasant?"
Xihe threw it on the ground casually and walked over to warm himself up by the fire: "Yeah." The fire was burning brightly, and Yang Shuo and the others were very close to the fire with their heads hunched.
She noticed that Fang Yuan was now wearing a jacket, and when she saw that Ji Qing was only wearing a jacket, she must have returned Yang Shuo's and Fang Yuan's jackets.
Tsk, these three people are really sympathetic to each other.
Fang Yuan sat up quickly: "Where did you catch it? Are there any more?"
Xihe: "I don't know at the door. You can try it yourself."
When Fang Yuan heard this, he rushed out of the room, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by others, and the other two people also hurriedly ran out.
Xihe curled his lips and refused to help with the snow removal, so he just stayed in the house. Now when he heard that there was a pheasant, they all ran over. What the hell.
However, they were probably going to be disappointed. There was a lot of snow but no pheasants.
[Fuck, I’m freezing to death] The dog barked in his mind.
Xihe closed her eyes and saw a big black dog running in the forest with a small deer in its mouth. She said: [Go to the road where Yang Shuo and others walked to see if you can find Xia Li]
The dog said nothing, but quickly rushed down the mountain.
Xihe breathed a sigh of relief. The weather was not good for going out, so she could only let her dog out to help hunt for some game and look for people.
But after one night, it was freezing and snowy outside, and Xia Li had little hope of surviving.
