She could no longer afford to support them. These two had grown up in the mountains and were good at hunting and foraging. They could feed themselves outside and come back. Of course, she was looking forward to it. How could she possibly stop them?

Hua Shi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Alright, alright, you've been rubbed. Go ahead if you want. I won't stop you. Just come back when you're full. Didn't you see I even opened a door specifically for you to come in and out easily? But you've stuck to the house for more than ten days without going out. Where did I get so much meat and food to feed you..."

"Meow?"

“Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!”

Black Cat: 'Misunderstood?'

White Fox: "I thought Hua Shi was going to chase us away. I was so scared. It turns out it was a lie...!"

Hua Shi would never have thought that these two guys were making trouble and after being disliked by her, they started to have wild thoughts and discussed with each other. They all felt that they had been clinging to Hua Shi and were disliked by her.

Afraid that I would run out to find food, I wouldn't come back when the flowers bloomed. I stayed in the house for more than ten days, and would rather starve and not eat meat than leave...

After Hua Shi's explanation, he finally made the two guys believe that he did not stop them from going out.

The black cat and the white fox became visibly agitated...

…

"Xiao Hei, run slower!"

Amidst the blanket of snow, the once green grove had turned white under the vast expanse of snow after more than a month of snowfall, as if covered in a thick coat of snow...

A figure dressed warmly with a cloak on the outside, followed by a black and a white shadow, quickly passed through the mountains and forests.

Hua Shi followed the white fox and the black cat breathlessly, and had just walked into the mountains along the winding thick snow road.

The white fox in front of him seemed to be having fun, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

White hair, mixed in with the vast snow fog, nothing can be seen...

Hua Shi's eyes followed closely the black cat shadow not far in front of him. He quickened his pace and moved forward with difficulty on the snow that did not reach his calves.

"Xiao Hei, wait for me, it's too fast, I won't be able to find you soon..."

Hua Shi followed forward and shouted.

He reached out and patted his shoulder, which had been piled with snow without him noticing. Hua Shi frowned unconsciously, and his lips turned a little pale from the cold.

Although she was wearing thicker clothes than before, with a cloak and a hat on her shoulders, the biting cold wind penetrated every corner and made her face hurt.

Who knows... She just let Xiao Hei and the white fox go into the mountains to find food by themselves and didn't plan to follow them. But for some reason, the black cat's eyes lit up, and it bit her trouser leg and meowed loudly, insisting on taking her into the mountains with it.

Seeing that the snow was piled up thickly outside, she had no plans to go out, let alone go into the mountains.

But the black cat kept meowing loudly, looking desperate, biting her trouser leg and refusing to let go while taking her out.

Xiao Hei had never acted like this before, and she couldn't figure out why. There was a reason for it. She hesitated for a while, but still followed the two guys out.

Who knew that just after entering the mountain, the white fox ran away in a short while, and Xiao Hei also ran away happily, almost leaving her alone in the vast snow...

“Meow meow meow…”

Hua Shi was tired and stopped for a while. Not far in front of her, a black cat with half of its body buried in the snow seemed to have noticed that she was not catching up, so it finally stopped.

"Where exactly are you taking me?"

Hua Shi exhaled a breath of foul air, inhaled through his almost frozen nose, and walked towards the black cat, muttering to himself.

“Meow meow meow… meow meow meow!”

The black cat meowed happily and dug its front paws into the thick snow.

Looking at Xiao Hei's round cat eyes, the doubts in Hua Shi's heart became even stronger.

Is there really something...?

I don’t know how long I walked, but I was wandering around in the thick and dense forest. The white snow made me feel dizzy.

The black cat running in front of her suddenly leaped up and jumped into the dense bushes, making a clicking sound.

Hua Shi's thoughts were in a daze, and he was startled by the sudden sound. He gasped and trotted over.

“Rustle…”

Pushing aside the layers of bushes that were piled up to half height and blocking the view, a rustling sound was heard.

Hua Shi was stunned by the scene before him for a moment and stood still.

“Meow, meow, meow…!”

The black cat seemed particularly excited and meowed at her several times.

In the white snow, what comes into view is a large hawthorn forest, with bright red fruits hanging in large bunches on the branches.

In the snow, this large area of ​​crimson color is particularly eye-catching.

The hawthorns, so ripe they had fallen from the branches, mixed with the withered leaves and red fruits, dotted the thick snow one by one...

“Meow meow meow!”

Hua Shi pushed aside the bushes, came in, and blinked her eyes in surprise.

There is actually a large hawthorn forest hidden here...

She thought back to the winter jujube forest they had visited last time. It was the white fox that had led her there. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for her to find these fruit trees alone in this vast forest...

She couldn't remember the season when hawthorns ripened. Looking at the forest full of hawthorns in the snow, her mind became active again.

Hawthorn can be used in many more ways than winter dates, including hawthorn cake, canned hawthorn, hawthorn jam... Moreover, candied haws are made from hawthorn...
