In the midst of the blizzard, the cabin gradually warmed up. This was not only due to the fireplace, but also because everyone had hot broth in their stomachs, which heated up both inside and outside, allowing people to reach a comfortable balanced temperature.
Before it got completely dark, Su Nian saw the bison outside huddled together tightly to resist the blizzard. "Beichen, can they make it?"
Chu Beichen said confidently, "No problem, they will definitely make it. Bison are animals that live in the wild. Today they found a haystack, which not only provides them with food but also shelter from the wind. They just drank the water you gave them, so they are already in much better condition than the other bison!"
Su Nian nodded and withdrew her gaze. Even if she cared about these animals, she could not let them all into the house or run out to accompany them.
"Okay, let's rest early. Starting tomorrow morning, it will be just the two of us entering the cedar forest. We might have to sleep outdoors tomorrow night, and the conditions might not be as good as those of these bison," Chu Beichen said with a smile.
The two men had already taken out their sleeping bags and spread them out on both sides of the room.
Everyone added enough firewood to the fireplace, fed the two sled dogs food and water, and then got into their sleeping bags.
That night, there was wind and snow outside the window, and all I could hear was the sound of the whistling wind. The snow mixed with ice particles hit the glass windows and made a rattling sound. Everyone lying on the ground could feel the cold wind rushing in from the gap in the wooden door from time to time.
Finally, one of his men stuffed the gap in the door with a thin blanket, and things got better.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen have extensive experience and have been to more difficult environments than here, so even in the midst of a snowstorm, they both slept peacefully.
After a good night's sleep, everyone was awakened by the barking of sled dogs. Xiao Wang quickly stopped the sled dogs and opened the door to check the situation. Everything was normal outside the door. Several bison were huddled together head to head, living very peacefully against the haystack.
Xiao Wang came back very confused, "I'm sure there's something outside, otherwise our dog wouldn't be barking!"
Sled dogs are not just about brute force. A rigorously trained sled dog can clearly distinguish whether the surrounding environment is dangerous. In other words, Chu Beichen and his sled dogs must have sensed some danger just now!
Su Nian looked out the window anxiously, but found nothing unusual, and the blizzard had obviously stopped. However, the snow outside was obviously thicker, already piled up to knee level.
"Don't worry about him. There are many such accidents when you are out," Chu Beichen said unconcernedly. "The weather is good today, so just proceed according to the plan!"
The two men agreed and immediately brought in clean snow in an iron pot. Everyone started to cook the snow into soup.
This morning there was still vegetable and meat soup. This might be the last hot meal that Su Nian and Chu Beichen could enjoy today. The couple cherished it very much.
While the two men were feeding the dogs, Su Nian and Chu Beichen packed up their sleeping bags and prepared to enter the cedar forest.
By the time Su Nian and Chu Beichen were ready, the bison at the door had finished drinking the warm water in the iron basin. They shook their huge heads and walked firmly towards the cedar forest one after another.
Su Nian was delighted when she saw this. "Beichen, these bison are leading the team. Let's follow them into the forest!"
