Chapter 39 Encountering a Little Squirrel

Seeing that the sun was getting lower, the kitten was full. The tiger could go out and catch some food to eat without having to drag it back to roast it.

Finally, the two of them discussed and decided that He Jing would stay in the cave while Gu Zheng would go out to hunt.

He Jing wrapped herself in a blanket at the entrance of the cave and watched the sunset, with rosy light spreading across the sky.

A little squirrel came over and nestled in the kitten's blanket. He Jing carefully stroked its tail, "Did you turn over from the other side?"

The squirrel wagged its tail.

"It's very cold here. Let's go back as soon as the sun comes out tomorrow!"

The squirrel rubbed her hand, which was warm.

I lowered my head and played with the little squirrel for a while, then looked up again and saw Gu Zheng coming back.

Coming with the colorful sunset behind her.

His figure and the sky were reflected in He Jing's wide-open eyes, and did not fade for a long time.

The little squirrel wanted to run, but He Jing held him down unconsciously and he couldn't run. Seeing the tiger approaching, he could only lie down and pretend to be dead.

"Want to eat?" Gu Zheng asked.

He Jing snapped back to reality, "Huh? What?"

Gu Zheng walked to the side and sat down, raising his eyebrows at the squirrel.

He Jing reacted and quickly loosened his grip, "No! It might have come from the other side. It's so cold, it's so small it will freeze to death outside."

Gu Zheng hummed softly, "Stay one night."

The little squirrel squinted its eyes and observed secretly. It moved its little feet tentatively, and when it was sure there was no danger, it sat up with its round body and stopped pretending to be dead.

The two men returned to the cave only after the last trace of sunset glow disappeared from the sky, and the little squirrel crawled into the supply box.

There is an occasional squeaking sound, but it is not disturbing.

He Jing was worried that Gu Zheng wasn't full, so she took out a watermelon-flavored supplement from her bag and asked, "Want to drink it?"

Gu Zheng shook his head, "No, you keep it."

He Jing put it back, took out an apple and stuffed it into his hand, then took out another one and held it to eat.

The crunching sound attracted the little squirrel, and He Jing took out another cherry and handed it over.

The air was quiet, but not awkward.

He Jing felt a little drowsy and looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock!

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy." A low voice floated into my mind like a layer of fog.

Oh my god, all I do every day is eat and sleep. Sooner or later, Gu Zheng will turn me into a pig...

The kitten fell asleep in the quilt. The squirrel looked at it, then tactfully crawled into the supply box and soon calmed down.

Gu Zheng sat by the fire, looking at the cute sleeping kitten.

The chubby face makes people want to rub it.

He reached out and touched it lightly; it was soft.

The kitten's sleep time has become longer, and the transformation is almost complete.

When He Jing woke up in the morning, he saw the tiger beside him and was still a little dazed. His eyes fell on the tiger's face, staring at it blankly.

Oh, yes, there are no animal activities here in the morning.

She lay back down again, feeling warm and sleepy, and fell asleep again while thinking.

When I woke up again, Gu Zheng was no longer around. He must have gone out to find something to eat.

Gu Zheng has been taking care of her. Now she has no ability to repay him, so it’s good enough that she doesn’t hold him back.

He Jing turned over and found a few pine nuts on the quilt. The little squirrel had left.

She picked it up and ate it. It was really magical. Whether it was given by Gao Songyang, his brother, or this little squirrel she met by chance, it was more fragrant than the ones she peeled herself.

She left a few pills for Gu Zheng, packed up and walked out of the cave.

If we wait for Gu Zheng to eat, there will definitely not be enough firewood, so we can look around nearby.

Strange, why does it feel like the firewood is burning fast and slow at the same time...

The sun was already high in the sky, and the snow wasn't so cold underfoot anymore.

She searched around and found a lot of~

"He Jing!"

"Huh? Here!" He Jing raised his head and smiled, "The fallen branches here seem to be better than...what's wrong with you?"

Tiger was breathing rapidly, and He Jing hurried to meet him.

Gu Zheng lowered his head and rubbed the kitten's head, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, since you're not here, the fire is out."

"Sorry, I forgot about the intelligent computer. I should have sent you a message first." He Jing let the tiger's head rub against his face, feeling a little guilty.

Hey, I just said I wouldn’t hold you back, but now I’m causing trouble.

A lot of firewood was found this time. She originally thought she would have to make two trips, but Gu Zheng only had to come once.

The two of them carried it back to the cave and rekindled the fire. Gu Zheng brought back a snow deer, which was quite big and big enough for the two of them to have a good meal.

Snow deer look no different from those on the grassland. If you have to say, the meat may be firmer.

But her teeth have become much sharper in the past two days, so it’s not that difficult to bite.

The sun outside was getting higher and higher, and they were ready to set off after dinner.

While Gu Zheng was packing up, He Jing built two small snowmen at the entrance of the cave. There were no details, just one tall and one short. When Gu Zheng came out and saw them, he stopped and looked at them a few more times.

The sun is shining brightly today, and the occasional snowflakes brought by the wind are blown away by the sun as soon as they fall on the fur.

Not a trace left.

He Jing went out for a run and found a few tea trees. They tasted them and found that the aroma was more elegant and the taste was less bitter and more sweet.

Soon we reached the foot of the mountain. An icy river stretched into the distance. "What kind of river is this?"

"Polar River."

"I think I heard the sound of running water?"

"Well, there's living water beneath the ice."

"Are there any seafood?" Kitty rubbed his hands.

Gu Zheng chuckled, "Yes, there is a thawed area ahead. Be careful, there is a high probability of encountering a snow bear."

Stumbling forward, of course, it was the kitten that was stumbling, while the tiger took every step gracefully.

The snow seemed to have grown deeper. He Jing looked at the snow that was not even up to his chest, and struggled to take two steps, then two more steps... Good job, the "seem" can be removed.

Gu Zheng fished the kitten out of the snow, shook it a few times, and threw it onto his back. "The one in front might be deeper. If you keep burying it in there, you'll catch a cold."

He Jing stretched himself out and lay on the tiger's back to dry its fur.

"Thank you, the snow here is so thick!"

"I'll let you down to play when we get to a thinner area."

He Jing nodded, realized he probably couldn't see, and said loudly, "Okay!"

The tiger took each step steadily, with only a slight sway, which sounded more like a lullaby than a bump.

He Jing fell asleep in a short while.

Gu Zheng felt the long breathing on his back and slowed down his pace.

He Jing opened his eyes and didn't expect that he had fallen asleep. He was stopped just as he was about to open his mouth.

"Shhh."

He Jing opened his eyes wide instantly, his sleepiness swept away, and he quietly turned over and looked forward.

!!!

Snow bear.

A snow bear enjoying a delicious meal.

His body was much bigger than Gu Zheng's. When he looked up at him, He Jing held his breath instantly.

1 second, 2 seconds, the snow bear lowered its head and continued eating.

The two of them lay in the fern bushes, covered by snow, and with trees in front of them to block their view, they were relatively safe.

I don’t know how long they lay there. There was cold air everywhere, and Gu Zheng’s heat had been consumed a lot. Only the bracelet on the kitten’s wrist conveyed warmth to the two of them.

The temperature is slightly weak, neither cold nor warm.
