Bai Yueyao wanted to hold Tang Zihao back, but the boy was so slippery that she couldn't hold him and he ran away, which made Bai Yueyao stomp her feet in anger.
Tang Zixuan was also angry. He had already agreed to help this kid and even gave Xia Ning up, yet the kid was still ungrateful. Tang Zixuan said angrily:
"Ignore him, he's an ungrateful wretch. He'll regret this someday. Let's hurry up and head into the mountains!"
The two of them trudged into the mountains, their steps uneven, running against the wind and snow in an attempt to catch up with Xia Ning.
After walking for more than an hour, they still hadn't seen Xia Ning. Tang Zixuan was dressed reasonably well, but Tang Zihao had already asked him to wear his old cotton-padded jacket.
But Bai Yueyao was cold. She was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, and the temperature in the mountains was already low; she was practically frozen. She discussed it with Tang Zixuan:
"Brother Zixuan, could you lend me your cotton-padded coat? I'm so cold!"
Tang Zixuan looked at Bai Yueyao as if she were an idiot and said:
"You're cold, but I'm not. I told you to wear more clothes, but you wouldn't. Now you know you're cold. Just bear with it and we'll find Xia Ning!"
Bai Yueyao was so angry she almost fell over. Who wouldn't want to wear more clothes? She needed to have thick ones. It turned out someone wanted her clothes. Who was she supposed to ask?
I originally wanted to borrow Xia Ning's money so I wouldn't have to return it, but the problem is I can't find Xia Ning now!
Bai Yueyao held onto Tang Zixuan tightly and said:
"If it gets any colder, I'll freeze to death! Let me wear your cotton-padded coat for a little while, just a little while, okay?!"
It's absolutely impossible to dress her in it, but judging from Bai Yueyao's purplish-blue face, she's really reached her limit. Tang Zixuan thought for a moment and said:
"Forget about clothes. I'll freeze to death faster than you if I take off my cotton-padded coat. Let's go gather some branches and make a fire here!"
With no better option, Bai Yueyao resigned herself to her fate and went to gather tree branches. She returned with a large basket full of branches, and the two of them started a fire.
After warming herself by the fire, Bai Yueyao felt much warmer and her mind was able to think again. She discussed things with Tang Zixuan:
"Brother Zixuan, we've been chasing for over an hour, why haven't we caught up yet? Could Xia Ning not have gone up the mountain?"
Tang Zixuan also asked with some doubt:
"Logically, that's impossible. Xia Ning definitely enjoys hunting, unless she's invited someone else to go up the mountain and isn't coming with us!"
Bai Yueyao slapped her thigh and said:
"Yes, that must be it. She must have told Zhong Wanwan that Zhong Wanwan and her younger brother went up the mountain with Xia Ning!"
Tang Zixuan also agreed with Bai Yueyao's statement, and he frowned as he said:
"So what do we do now? Are we just going to go down the mountain like this?"
Bai Yueyao also wanted to continue going up the mountain to catch some wild game, so that she could not only have meat to eat, but also make a big cotton coat from the hides of the wild game.
Unfortunately, my strength simply doesn't allow it!
Bai Yueyao gritted her teeth and said:
"Let's get down the mountain! If we don't get down now, we'll either freeze to death on the mountain or get eaten by wild animals!"
"However, those three guys played us like that, they won't get away with it either!"
Tang Zixuan asked:
What do you want to do?
Bai Yueyao sneered:
"You're dreaming if you think you can eat it all by yourself. The food on the mountain belongs to everyone. I'm going to make them benefit from it!"
Tang Zixuan instantly understood Bai Yueyao's meaning, and rubbed his hands excitedly:
"You mean we should just wait at the entrance to the mountain and then rip them off when they come down?"
