Chapter 25 Psychological Changes
When Chen Yi woke up, it was already dawn the next day.
She was woken up by the cold and felt very cold all over.
Even though she was sitting on a log, the cold air could still seep through her clothes.
"Awake?" He Mingcheng saw that she was awake, and quickly went over to her and said, "Are you cold? Come over here and warm yourself up."
He never put out the fire all night, keeping it warm.
But even so, it is impossible to make this cold cave as warm as a house.
Chen Yi stretched her body, nodded and said, "How are you?"
The two of them have been here for such a long time, it must be cold.
He Mingcheng smiled bitterly and replied: "No problem, I just dragged you down. I won't let this happen again in the future. I'm sorry."
If he had been more careful, this problem wouldn't have happened.
After all, it was my own lack of consideration that put me in my current situation.
Chen Yi shook her head. She believed that He Mingcheng was definitely not like this because of his bellicosity, but was forced to do so.
No one would want to face a starving wild boar alone, right?
"This is not your fault, so don't blame yourself too much. Just be more careful next time. Warm up and let's go down the mountain, shall we?"
She herself didn't realize that she now subconsciously cared about He Mingcheng.
He Mingcheng could tell that others cared about him, and while he felt happy, he did not forget to stay calm.
What if I’m too enthusiastic and scare others?
"Okay." He nodded with a smile, then sat beside the fire and toasted the pancakes over the fire.
Chen Yi took the pancake he baked and took a bite. It was hot but a little hard.
"Why don't you eat?" She looked at the person next to her.
He Mingcheng smiled and replied: "I've already eaten, I'm not hungry, you eat quickly."
He is indeed not very hungry now, and even if he is hungry, he can endure it.
You're a grown man, it's okay to skip a meal.
You can be hungry, but you can’t let your wife go hungry.
Seeing Chen Yi finish her pancake, he stood up and said, "Let's go home."
The two men put out the fire. Fortunately, there were no wild beasts attacking last night. It was a blessing in disguise.
Chen Yi saw a stretcher made of branches at the entrance of the cave, with dismembered wild boar meat on it.
The weather is so cold that the pork is frozen.
There was a layer of white frost on the meat, and it looked like it had been prepared last night.
"Can I take this back?" she asked.
After all, it was a collective system at that time. If he took it back rashly, not only would he not be able to keep it, but even the team leader would have to teach He Mingcheng a lesson.
Hunting without permission is not allowed now, even if you have no choice.
He Mingcheng shook his head and said, "I'll hide this for a while. If we are discovered, it will be difficult for the captain to do it."
After all, they are a relative, and Li Qinglin usually takes good care of him.
It would not be good if it caused him trouble.
Chen Yi didn't quite understand the relationship between them, but she couldn't say much about it.
After all, they are just nominal husband and wife, and it would be bad to say too much about some things.
Since the other party has made up his mind, she should just listen.
He Mingcheng dragged the stretcher into a small woods and asked Chen Yi to wait there.
Chen Yi frowned and said, "Hurry up."
She wanted to say "Don't come back again", but that sounded too unlucky, so she didn't say it.
He Mingcheng knew that she was worried about him, so he nodded and quickly walked towards the grove.
Chen Yi sat on the firewood and looked at the four piles of firewood. How could they get down the mountain with so much?
She tried it just now, but couldn't lift it at all...
Of course, a bundle of firewood weighs more than 50 kilograms.
In addition, there was too much snow on the road, making it difficult to walk, let alone carry firewood.
Not long after, He Mingcheng came back with a large piece of pork in his hand, weighing about twenty pounds.
Chen Yi pursed her lips and said nothing, silently carrying the firewood.
Sorry, I couldn't resist...
He Mingcheng took the firewood from her hand, and then tied the four piles of firewood into a big pile with a rope!
The pork was also wrapped in hay and hidden inside. He placed a large pile of firewood on a higher stone, and then with a strong effort, he carried it up on his back.
Although it seems a bit strenuous, it does not affect walking.
Chen Yi was a little stunned. This must be more than 200 pounds, right?
Wow, I didn’t realize that he has such great strength despite his not-so-strong body.
Seeing her surprised look, He Mingcheng said reluctantly, "Why, shouldn't I have this much strength?"
His tone was a little unhappy. Looking at Chen Yi's expression, it was as if she was being questioned. Who could be happy?
Besides, he is at least 1.80 meters tall, how is it possible that he can't even carry more than 200 kilograms?
Although……
A bit strenuous...
The two people went down the mountain one after the other. On the way, Chen Yi looked at the back and felt some inexplicable emotions in her heart.
Because we came back very early, before six o'clock, we didn't see anyone on the road.
He Mingcheng's home was close to the mountains, so no one noticed them at all.
After returning home, He Mingcheng started to take off his cotton jacket. He was so tired from the journey that his forehead was covered with sweat.
However, he must not reveal any flaws in front of his wife.
"Chen Yi, you go and have a rest. I'll make a fire and cook." He cared more about Chen Yi than himself, and didn't want to let anyone get tired.
Chen Yi shook her head and said, "I'll help you light the fire and you cook."
She wouldn't wait for dinner, and she could see that He Mingcheng was having a hard time lifting things and it wasn't easy.
The journey is long, and it is not easy to reach home without rest.
He Mingcheng saw her firm expression and did not refute. It was just right to light a fire to keep warm.
The house hasn't been heated for a day and a night, so it's normal for it to be cold.
The two people had a clear division of labor. Chen Yi lit the fire while He Mingcheng washed the pork and then cut it into small pieces and put it into the pot.
The wild boar's fat was only as big as the little finger's. It must have become thin due to hunger because it had not eaten for the whole winter.
There is a lot of lean meat, and it looks a bit dark red.
After He Mingcheng threw the meat into the pot, he cut the vegetables and kneaded the noodles.
The two of them worked faster together and soon they had wrapped half of the dumplings.
Skim off the blood foam from the pork, then add some seasonings and steam the dumplings in the steamer.
The dumpling filling is cabbage, with added lard but no meat.
There was so much meat, and although Chen Yi didn't know why he didn't put it in, she didn't ask.
After all, she just needs to eat the food cooked by others, why ask so many questions?
Seeing her puzzled look, He Mingcheng took the initiative to explain: "This wild boar has not been bled, so it won't taste good when used to make dumplings. It can only be eaten cooked."
There was too much blood foam in the meat, and it wouldn't taste good, so he didn't use minced meat.
It’s not that I’m afraid of trouble, nor am I afraid of Chen Yi eating it.
Chen Yi nodded, not quite understanding. Is there such a thing?
