Snowflakes fluttered down, and their feet made a "crunching" sound on the snow. With every step forward, Xihe and the others knocked the snow off the grass and trees, revealing the true appearance of the vegetation... They found a tree of mountain red and some sour autumn pears.
Xihe took a bite and spit it out, his face wrinkled from the sour taste: "Why is it so disgusting!"
Zhou Yan picked all the edible fruits and put them in his bag. He smiled and brushed the snow off her hat. "These fruits grown in the mountains are definitely not as sweet as those grown artificially. But the pears are good for clearing the lungs and relieving coughs. I can bring them back and boil them into water for you to drink."
Xihe nodded: "Okay, you decide." The two continued to move forward.
The roads in the mountains are difficult to walk on, especially when it snows. If you don't look carefully, you may fall down. Therefore, they walked very carefully. For fear of getting lost, they left marks on the trees every two steps.
"Ruoruo."
Zhou Yan held Xihe's hand and led the way.
Xihe looked around and used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings to see if there were any good things: "Hmm?"
This world was extremely oppressive, and her spiritual sense could only float five meters around her at most; she couldn't see any further.
Zhou Yan's trekking pole hit a hole and he immediately turned with Xihe: "Do you think Ruozi and the others will be okay? Can they make it down the mountain? I'm a little worried."
They had only been walking for half an hour, and he already felt his feet were a little cold. It was really not suitable to continue walking.
Xihe followed him, his tone a little nonchalant: "If anything goes wrong, it's their own fault. I've already warned them, but they didn't believe me. They probably think I'm being unreasonable and making trouble for you."
The original owner's image has been deeply rooted in everyone's mind. No matter what she says, it will be useless and will only make people laugh at her.
Just like that Xia Li, even if someone directly told her that she was looking for death, she would not bother to pay attention.
"Ruoruo."
Zhou Yan stopped.
Xihe subconsciously looked up: "Hmm?"
Zhou Yan lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes serious as he said, "You are not being unreasonable. Even if you are being unreasonable, I am willing to torment me."
Xihe: Eh???
Zhou Yan's ears turned red, but he still looked into her eyes and said, "So you don't have to care what they say. You can do whatever you want. I support you no matter what you do. Got it?"
Thinking of their sarcasm and ridicule towards her these days, she felt even more distressed. She didn't know how much injustice she had suffered when he couldn't see her.
Seeing his expression of 'my baby is suffering', Xihe couldn't help but look away: "I know, I know."
Damn it, why does Zhou Yan’s expression look a bit like that of an old father?
Suddenly, her consciousness paused, and then her eyes lit up. She pulled Zhou Yan's hand and said, "Zhou Yan, let's go over there?" She pointed her chin at the woods on the left.
Zhou Yan nodded: "Okay." They were just going to leave casually anyway.
The two walked on the white snow for about five meters when suddenly a gray rabbit rushed towards them and crashed into the tree beside them.
Zhou Yan:!!!
He looked at Xihe in disbelief: "Ruoruo, am I seeing things?"
Xihe nodded, also very surprised: "This rabbit is so stupid, it actually bumped into a tree." Then he became happy, "Zhou Yan, we can eat rabbit meat today!"
Zhou Yan looked dazed. "Strange things happen every year, but this year they're especially numerous. The chickens ran towards us before, and this rabbit foolishly bumped into a tree." He walked over, picked up the bunny, and shook it. "It's quite fat."
Xihe pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. Suddenly, her consciousness moved again.
She blinked, and then, in front of Zhou Yan's stunned gaze, one, two, three rabbits came running over and crashed into the tree beside him and died.
One of them missed and hit his leg. It fell to the ground, got up and hit the tree, then fell down sideways.
Zhou Yan: “…”
He widened his eyes, took two steps back, tightly protected Xihe behind him, and looked around nervously.
Xihe tilted his head in confusion: "Zhou Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Yan swallowed and said, "Ruoruo, I think there is something strange in this forest. When I say one, two, three, we will run. One, two..." Before he finished shouting, he grabbed her and started running.
Xihe: ??? m
She staggered as she was pulled, watching the little rabbit getting farther and farther away: "But, we have to take the rabbit away."
Zhou Yan ran very fast: "No, those rabbits might be problematic."
Xihe: "...Zhou Yan, my feet hurt."
Zhou Yan slammed on the brakes and then picked her up.
Xihe was completely speechless and hit his shoulder: "No, take the rabbit. If you don't take it, I will be angry!"
Zhou Yan refused: "Ruoruo, there's something wrong with those rabbits..."
"No!"
Xihe was furious: "Why is there a problem? Maybe we are lucky. Stop now and go back to get the rabbit, otherwise we will be hungry next. Hurry up!"
Zhou Yan didn't move.
Xihe pulled him: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"
Zhou Yan had no choice but to go back to the big tree with an unwilling look on his face. Just then, a rabbit was about to sneak away.
Xihe stepped forward, grabbed the little rabbit, and handed it to Zhou Yan: "Here!"
Zhou Yan: ...I could only pick up a few rabbits reluctantly.
After this incident, Zhou Yan no longer dared to stay in the woods. Regardless of Xihe's wishes, he carried her back and walked back, constantly reminding her along the way: "The snow is too heavy, and the woods are dangerous. Next time, don't go out. I can go out by myself, okay?" He touched her feet again and asked, "Are you cold?"
Xihe nodded randomly, but in fact he was keeping an eye on all directions to see if there was anything edible.
