After settling the sika deer, Su Nian and Chu Beichen came to the storage room again.
Half of the storage room was filled with firewood, and the other half was filled with hay. The firewood was chopped into lengths that could be thrown into the fireplace, and the hay was soft and dry. Although it had been in the storage room for a while, it was still suitable for feeding deer.
In addition to these things, there was a pile of tools on the ground that caught Chu Beichen's attention. He picked them up and studied them carefully and concluded that it was actually a sled.
Su Nian smiled, "Beichen, it seems you need to train deer. Once you train these deer, you can take them with you when you go hunting!"
Chu Beichen smiled without saying anything. His wife spoke in a calm tone. It seemed that she had accepted this reality and made plans to live in this strange place for a long time.
Anyway, this is better than complaining and sighing.
In addition to the sled, Chu Beichen also found two spears. The spears were made of hard wood and had sharp iron heads at the tips.
It seemed that the people in the small village they visited were indeed good people. Everyone knew that the owner of the cabin was gone, but such important weapons were always kept in the storage room and no one had taken them away.
After carefully looking at the storage room, Su Nian and Chu Beichen returned to the cabin hand in hand.
The short distance from the storage room to the cabin was extremely difficult for Su Nian and Chu Beichen to walk. The blizzard raged again, overwhelming the two people. They couldn't even see their own fingers.
After just a few steps, the two were blown to the bone. They really didn't know what would happen if this blizzard continued for a few days.
Suddenly, Su Nian tripped and stumbled a few steps. Chu Beichen pulled her up and said, "Be careful, my God, there is a well in this yard!"
When Su Nian heard this, she didn't have time to think about it or look closely. She was dragged up by Chu Beichen and walked towards the cabin again.
It was freezing outside, but warm as spring inside. The two people only realized they were frozen after they entered the house.
There was ice on both of their hair, which soon began to melt and became wet. Su Nian found a towel and wiped her own and her husband's hair.
In any case, the living environment in the cedar forest is not optimistic. First of all, it is unknown when this bad weather will pass.
The blizzard was getting stronger and stronger, the sharp sound of the wind kept coming, and the snowflakes blown by the strong wind hit the wooden walls, making a whistling sound.
Chu Beichen hugged Su Nian and sang softly in her ear. It was an old song with a simple and lively rhythm. Su Nian responded softly, and soon the room was filled with their singing.
The fire in the cabin was warm and the lights were bright. The two people were having a great time. Although tomorrow was still an unknown, everything seemed so beautiful.
In the morning, the roar of the storm outside could no longer be heard, only a continuous whistling sound. The cabin was no longer shivering, but the temperature was still very low. Although the fire in the cabin was burning brightly, it was still not warm enough.
"It's getting even colder today," Chu Beichen said. "Su Nian, you stay in the cabin. Let me go to the barn and see if the well in the yard can be used!"
Su Nian helped Chu Beichen open the door. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the storm outside was much smaller.
Chu Beichen went to the yard to busy himself, and Su Nian boiled water to make breakfast. When the water in the pot boiled, she wiped her hands and face with a towel dipped in snow water.
From the utensils left in the cabin, we can see that although the original owner was a very diligent and clean person, the residents of this place probably do not pay much attention to personal hygiene.
First of all, the couple didn't find a single towel in the cabin.
Fortunately, there was still some food in their backpacks, otherwise the two of them would have faced the problem of having nothing to wipe their hands with.
When Chu Beichen followed the strong wind and snowflakes and entered the cabin again, the small pot on the fireplace was already bubbling with fragrance.
Su Nian was surprised to see that Chu Beichen was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, which was full of water, and the water seemed to be steaming.
"Su Nian, this place really surprised me. We both worked in vain these few days. This place not only has well water, but also hot spring water in the well," Chu Beichen was surprised and happy. He didn't bother to clean the snow on his coat. He took Su Nian's hand and let her feel the water in the wooden barrel.
The water in the bucket was indeed warm, with some ice particles and snowflakes floating on it.
Su Nian was surprised and delighted, "Oh my God, we didn't even know there was a well in the yard, and there was even a bucket!"
The couple always felt very strange. Buckets are necessities of life, so why didn't there be any in this small cabin? It turned out that the owner of the cabin hung all the buckets in the well.
"Hurry up and wash up. I have just fed water to the sika deer and even cleaned the shed!" Chu Beichen said happily.
Su Nian burst out laughing. It was hard to imagine what it was like for the precious Chu Beichen to do farm work.
Since coming to this strange place, the couple had not found enough water to wash. Now that they had warm and clean water, they both washed up and felt refreshed.
After cleaning it, Chu Beichen took the bucket out again, poured out the dirty water, and put the bucket back into the well.
In this kind of weather, a wet wooden barrel will freeze if placed anywhere. It will only avoid freezing if placed in a cabin or hung in a well.
The storm outside had subsided a lot, and the two of them sat down and ate the broth peacefully. Su Nian had already made up her mind that no matter whether the storm had stopped or not, she would dig in the yard to see if there was any regeneration.
They have become accustomed to a comprehensive diet and cannot survive on a diet consisting solely of meat.
After breakfast, the storm was much smaller. Chu Beichen simply went to the storage room to get the training equipment for the elk and tried to put it on the elk.
Strangely enough, these sika deer did not dodge or evade when they saw the bridle and reins, and allowed Chu Beichen to put them on. It was only then that Chu Beichen suddenly realized that these sika deer were not real wild animals.
Perhaps because of the storm or some other reason, these elk were separated from their owners.
No matter what, getting these helpers is definitely a good thing for Chu Beichen and his wife who have nothing.
When Chu Beichen finished these chores and pushed open the door of the barn, he was pleasantly surprised to find that, as if by magic, bright sunshine shone through the thick clouds, and the cedar forest was finally clear.
Chu Beichen was overjoyed and shouted towards the cabin, "Su Nian, the sky is clear now, we can go hunting now!"
