Xie Yan quickly and efficiently stored the sauce in his spatial storage, afraid that the tempting aroma would attract the old lady outside. Although it was snowing heavily outside and the old lady probably wouldn't come over, he was still worried that if she took some, he would have less to eat.
Yu Yue looked at Xie Yan's actions, smiled helplessly, and said nothing.
She then poured the remaining oil from the bucket into the pot.
Xie Yan looked at the empty oil drum and exclaimed, "Wow, we really consume oil fast!" Fortunately, he had bought more last time and still had two drums in his storage space.
At this rate, it seems I should start thinking about buying some more soon.
While Yu Yuehui was cooking the hot pot ingredients, Xie Yan returned to the house and found his medicine cabinet, which Yu Yuehui had made for him, specifically for storing the medicinal herbs Xie Yan brought back or the ointments he made himself.
Xie Yan sat at the table, focused, with several bottles of carefully prepared medicine laid out in front of him.
He first picked up the bottle of the improved liniment for sprains and bruises. The effects of the medicine had been tested at the Xie Yan banquet and were similar to those of the bottle that Liu Yihong had given him.
Xie Yan also gave Liu Yihong a few bottles in return, since it's always good to have these things on hand.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Yan quickly found some hemostatic and analgesic medicine, and after thinking for a moment, he put in a few more bottles. His actions were urgent and left no room for doubt.
Actually, he made these medicines specifically for Yu Yuehui. After all, Yu Yuehui often goes up the mountain, and it would be much more convenient to have the medicine with her if she accidentally got hurt one day.
Although he knew Yu Yuehui was capable, the mountains and forests were fraught with danger, and who could guarantee that nothing would go wrong? These medicines, though small, could be very useful in a critical moment, and it was always better to be prepared.
Xie Yan placed the medicines one by one into a small cloth bag. Then, he pulled on the drawstring at the top of the bag, tied it tightly with a knot, and placed it on the table. The bottle made a soft "click" sound when it touched the table.
Xie Yan looked at the bag of medicine, sighed, and a bittersweet feeling quietly spread throughout her body.
After Yu Yue finished cooking the hot pot ingredients, she came over and saw a bag of ointments that Xie Yan had found for her. She took it out and looked at it. The bottles had labels on them, and they really did have all kinds of ointments.
They even have mosquito repellent.
Yu Yuehui was both amused and exasperated. She seemed to say that it wasn't necessary, but she also understood that Xie Yan would definitely be worried about her going out in such heavy snow, so she didn't say anything and instead smiled as she accepted the medicine.
Although some of the medicines in the prescription seemed useless and unnecessary in the current weather, Yu Yuehui still felt a warm feeling in her heart when she looked at them.
When Xie Yan arrived, he saw Yu Yuehui looking at the bottle of medicine. After thinking for a moment, Xie Yan explained, "It's better to be safe than sorry. This medicine can not only repel mosquitoes, but also animals. Animals don't like the smell of the medicine inside."
This is why Xie Yan put this bottle of medicine in there as well.
Yu Yue looked at the medicine bottle, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bring them all. They don't take up much space anyway."
Xie Yan nodded and then asked, "Do you want the face cream I made for you?"
The wind is strong on the mountain. If Yuehui's skin, which had just started to recover, is not reapplied to any other products, it will definitely revert to its original state!
Yu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. It has a smell, so let's not bring it."
Xie Yan nodded, indicating that he understood.
But I've already started thinking about finding a face cream that's moisturizing but has no scent.
He looked at the clothes Yu Yuehui took out of the closet and asked worriedly, "Just this one piece?"
Yu Yue shook her head. "No, I'll just change into these clothes. I won't bring any!"
Xie Yan: "?"
"Didn't you say it would take about ten days?"
"It's cold up in the mountains, and it's snowing. What if my clothes get soaked?"
Yu Yue looked at Xie Yan, whose brows were furrowed into a deep frown, and stepped forward to gently smooth them out. "It's alright, don't worry. I've been up the mountain in this kind of weather before, not to mention I'm pretty good now!"
"Besides, Master is here, so there's nothing to worry about?"
"There are caves in the mountains, we won't be foolish enough to stay in the wild, don't worry!"
Xie Yan took her hand and nodded.
Just after dinner, a moving snowman appeared at Xie Yan's door, startling him. It wasn't until Xie Yan spoke that he realized it was Gu Che.
Xie Yan: "..."
Is this person even alive? Doesn't he know to shake the snow off himself?
Seeing this guy standing under the eaves, everyone went inside. Xie Yan was also quite helpless. This guy was like a rock in a latrine, both smelly and hard.
All I could do was watch as he said earnestly, "Be careful!"
Gu Che nodded, and a large number of snowflakes fell from his head as he moved.
Xie Yan didn't want to speak at first, but seeing that this guy was obviously in a bad mood, he thought for a moment and said, "If you need any help, just say so!"
Gu Che glanced at Xie Yan with surprise, then his expression returned to calm as he said, "It's nothing, I'll let you know if anything comes up!"
Xie Yan nodded. He knew that Gu Che definitely had something on his mind, but since Gu Che didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything more.
After Yu Yuehui came out of the house with her backpack, she followed Gu Che directly outside.
Xie Yan arrived at his door and watched Yu Yue and the others walk away until they were out of sight. Only then did Xie Yan turn around and walk into the house. After entering, he locked the door and looked at the empty house. His heart also felt empty.
It was just that one person was missing, but why did the room feel so empty? Every inch of air was filled with loneliness, and the spaciousness made him feel uneasy, as if his soul had lost its resting place.
Bored out of his mind, he mechanically circled the room a few times like a headless fly, each step echoing hollowly. After circling the room a few times, he went to the kitchen.
Gu Bin, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, saw this guy come in and joked, "What's wrong? Your wife just left and you're already feeling sad?"
Xie Yan was too lazy to pay attention to this lunatic. He rolled his eyes and left. He was just an unnecessary trip.
After returning to his room, Xie Yan immediately picked up a book and started reading.
Winter days are always exceptionally short. Even though it's still early, it's already dark outside. With the heavy snowfall, there's not a single bird on the road; the only sound is the soft patter of falling snowflakes.
After walking a long way, Yu Yue turned around and looked in the direction of her home, but the vast expanse of white snow obscured her view, and she couldn't see anything in the end.
Gu Che turned to look at her, "Reluctant to part with it?"
Yu Yue shook her head. "I just wanted to take a look."
Gu Che stretched out his hand, watching the snowflakes fall into his palm, which melted into a puddle of water in no time. He asked absentmindedly, "You knew you couldn't see them!"
Yu Yue nodded, and also reached out to catch the falling snowflakes. Looking at their beautiful and delicate appearance, she said, "But I just want to see. I know there is someone waiting for me there, waiting for me to go back."
