After dinner, Gong Wei cleaned up the dishes.
Without water, she could only wipe it with some cloth. Fortunately, the cabbage soup was not greasy, so it was easier to wipe.
While wiping the bowl, she looked up and found a shadow on the ground. She was startled and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground. A hand reached out from behind and caught the bowl.
Only then did Gong Wei realize that it was Xie Chenxi.
He squatted behind her, the bright moonlight shining on his face, which was as white as jade. Gong Wei was so frightened that before she could recover, she saw Xie Chenxi revealing a guilty smile: "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Gong Wei glared at him and said, "Don't do that next time. It'll scare people to death, okay?"
Xie Chenxi nodded obediently and handed her the bowl.
Gong Wei only felt as if his hand was pricked by something, and there was a slight pain, but it was only for a moment, and then there was no feeling. Gong Wei did not care, took the bowl, and said to Xie Chenxi: "Go inside, don't disturb me."
Xie Chenxi's dimples appeared on his cheeks, and he pursed his red lips: "Okay."
He stood up, and his shadow fell in front of Gong Wei, getting longer and longer, and finally disappearing.
There was a candle lit in the room, which they found in a corner. They were afraid of any accidents at night, so they didn't dare to light more. There was only one candle in the whole room, and the candlelight flickered.
Everyone in this village sleeps on the kang. This family probably has a lot of people, so the sleeping space is big enough and there are quilts, but no one dares to cover themselves with them because they are a little moldy.
Tonight, the ten of them will squeeze in here.
There is no distinction between men and women.
Jun Li was just about to find a place to sleep when she heard Xie Chenxi calling her. She looked over to where Xie Chenxi was standing at the innermost part of the kang. He pointed to a spot against the wall and said to Jun Li, "Sister, you sleep here."
It doesn’t matter where you sleep, Jun Li didn’t care. She took out two pieces of clothes from her bag and lay down.
Then, Xie Chenxi lay down next to her.
Yao Sen was on Xie Chenxi's left, and the position where she originally wanted to sleep seemed to be on Yao Sen's left. Xie Chenxi's accidental discovery of the position saved her from having to lie down with Yao Sen.
She had absolutely no faith in Yao Sen and had no intention of making friends with him, even if he would later possess spatial abilities.
She spread out the clothes she had taken out and covered herself and Xie Chenxi with them. The kang was originally made of stone, and it was hard and cold to lie on. If they didn't cover themselves with something, they would definitely feel cold.
When she was half asleep, she felt someone holding her in his arms.
The next day everyone went up the mountain to look for things. This time they gained a lot. They really found some mushrooms. They picked a lot of them and caught two wild rabbits. Dinner was much richer. It was no longer cabbage soup, but mushroom soup. The mushroom soup was very delicious. Even though it had no taste, it was much better than cabbage soup.
They used a simple and rough method to cook the rabbits. They peeled the skin, washed it with water, and then roasted it directly over a fire.
They still had a lot of water on their backs, but half of it was used up in making soup over the past two days. After dinner, they didn't have much water left, which meant they would never have the chance to enjoy drinking hot soup again. Unless they found another source of water, they would either starve to death or die of thirst.
