Hua Shi looked at the half-empty rice bag, frowned and fell into deep thought.

Could the little more than one ounce of silver she had left on her body help her survive this harsh winter?

In just a few days, half a bag of rice was only used to cook porridge, not rice, and half of it was eaten in just a few meals.

As she thought about it, she drank three ounces of porridge from the wooden bowl.

The amount is just enough for one bowl per person, and there will be no more.

But in fact, just eating a bowl of porridge doesn’t make you feel much, it can’t even make you feel full. Even if you just lie in bed all day and do nothing, you will start to feel hungry at noon.

Often at this time, Hua Shi would cook two meals a day, both of which were white porridge. Due to limited conditions, there were no other side dishes.

Hua Shi's gaze unconsciously fell on a fox and a cat not far away on the ground.

The three bamboo basins on the ground were licked clean in just a few seconds, leaving not a single grain of rice.

The white fox sitting on the ground looked over, and the signal it sent was clearly that it wasn't full...

Flower Time: ...

She was silent for a moment, and under the white fox's fixed gaze, she said, "Are you not full?"

“Chirp!”

The white fox's watery eyes suddenly widened, and it barked at her twice, as if responding.

Hua Shi pondered: "Didn't I tell you long ago? If you're hungry, go out and find something to eat. Why don't you go? Why do you have to stick here?"

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…, chirp, chirp! Chirp!”

After hearing her words, the white fox was obviously a little excited and chirped at her for a long time.

Hua Shi frowned and looked at it carefully, trying to understand what it said.

pity……

"Forget it, I don't understand. I still say the same thing. If you're hungry, go find something to eat. All I can give you right now is this small plate of porridge, nothing else."

As Hua Shi spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the back door that she had knocked open that day.

There was no wooden board blocking the back door, so she used straw ropes and a large piece of straw to weave a long and thick curtain and hung it above the door frame. Although wind still let in, it was better than being leaking out.

"Chiu..."

When the white fox saw that he had been talking for a long time but got no response from Hua Shi, he suddenly became dejected.

Hua Shi reached out and rubbed its furry head: "What's wrong with you?"

She was a little confused and worried.

I finally understand what it means to talk about something completely different and have different opinions...

“Meow!”

The black cat meowed twice, then pounced over and lay beside Hua Shi's legs. It held Hua Shi's ankles with its two paws and rubbed them for a while, as if it was acting coquettishly.

The white fox also brought its furry head closer and rubbed it against her calves stickily.

A fox and a cat, each on either side, rubbed her calves stickily, and from time to time looked at her pitifully with their big watery eyes.

Hua Shi couldn't stand it anymore, "What on earth do you two want to say?"

"Meow……"

"Chiu..."

As soon as she said this, the two guys stretched out their voices and cried out again.

Hua Shi held his forehead with his hand, helpless, and changed his tone, saying: "Then I ask you now, if it's you, call out once, if it's not you, call out twice, is that okay?"

"Meow."

"Chiu."

Hearing that they were going to be questioned, the two guys sat up suddenly, squatted obediently in front of her, and stared at her with wide eyes.

Hua Shi coughed lightly, "Ahem, now let me ask you, do you want to go out?"

As she asked the question, she pointed outside the back door.

"Meow!"

“Chiu!”

When they heard the word "outside", the two guys' eyes lit up even brighter, and they looked eagerly waiting.

Hua Shi just felt strange, "Why don't you go if you want to?"

"Woo..."

A cat and a fox both whimpered and looked at her with tears in their eyes, feeling extremely aggrieved.

"It can't be because of me, right?" Hua Shi blurted out as he was stared at by the two guys.

"Meow!"

“Chiu!”

But as soon as she said this, the two of them immediately cried out.

Hua Shi pointed at herself. "Me?" She paused. "I'm not stopping you from going out. If you want to go, go. And when the time comes, just come back by yourself, right?"

She became increasingly confused.

Thinking carefully about the past ten days, she hadn't said anything to these two guys, let alone told them not to go out...

"Meow?"

"Chirp?"

The black cat and the fox tilted their heads, looking at her with suspicion, as if they were confirming the truth of what she had just said.

Hua Shi: "I'm not a vicious mother-in-law. Why would I stop you..."...?

Before she could finish her words, the black cat suddenly kicked its hind legs and jumped towards her.

Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to catch it.

It was obviously a strong and sturdy adult cat, but now it was like a kitten, crawling in her arms and constantly nodding its head against her belly.

Acting like a spoiled child, naked and clingy like a spoiled child...

The white fox also stood up and circled around her twice, as if it wanted to jump into her arms, but it looked around several times with its dim fox eyes. After confirming its body shape and knowing that it could not let Hua Shi hold it, it moved its head towards her.

Hua Shi was silent for a long time regarding the unusual clinginess of these two guys. He held one in each hand and couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time.

What kind of illusion made these two idiots think that I would not let them go out to find food?
