Chapter 247 The Night After



"Brother Wenhua, do you still have the strength? Get us some branches. This fire can't go out. We haven't eaten, our body temperature is out of control, and we've used up so much energy. If we don't have a fire, we might freeze to death here if we fall asleep."

"Okay, I'll go get some."

"I...I'll be with you."

Wang Tianxin struggled and went out with Wu Wenhua.

Wu Qiancai's arm had been torn open by wolves earlier, and he had been bleeding for half the night, resulting in significant blood loss.

He persevered through the wolves, but now that the danger was over and he relaxed, he collapsed to the ground, just like Wang Tianxiao, unable to move.

Wang Tianxiao and he looked at each other and smiled.

“Brother Qiancai, you can’t fall asleep. Let’s rest for a bit before we go down the mountain.”

"Okay, boss."

Wu Qiancai agreed, but his eyes still instinctively wanted to close. He felt very sleepy and didn't even have the strength to keep his eyelids open.

Wang Tianxiao saw this and felt a little anxious, knowing that this was a sign of exhaustion.

He struggled to crawl to Wu Qiancai's side and found that his arm was still bleeding, and his clothes were soaked with blood and frozen into hard ice by the cold weather.

Wang Tianxiao gritted his teeth, tore off a piece from his vest, folded it into a strip, and used it to bandage Wu Qiancai's wound, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

It's only thanks to Wu Qiancai's good health and strength that he's been able to hold on until now; if it were anyone else, they probably would have collapsed long ago.

Wang Tianxiao felt extremely grateful, yet also ashamed.

To be honest, although we've spent a year together, we're basically like family.

But ultimately, it's just an employment relationship.

He couldn't let others suffer along with him, and he shouldn't get caught up in such a crisis.

Although he was unaware of this danger.

When we get back, let's give them a raise.

Although it wasn't a life-saving favor, it was close. We've been through thick and thin together, so it can't be compared to what we did before.

He couldn't let these kind and compassionate people feel disheartened.

Instead, it lets them know that as long as people are kind-hearted and give, they will receive more in return.

A little while later, Wu Wenhua and Wang Tianxin returned carrying firewood.

The three men rebuilt the fire.

The flames slowly began to burn brightly again.

It's much warmer around here.

Wang Tianxiao had burned his coat while trying to extinguish the fire, so he was wearing very little clothing at the moment. Despite the heat of the fire, he was still shivering from the cold.

Wang Tianxin saw this, took off his coat, and said to him, "Brother, here, let's share this, it'll keep us from getting so cold."

Wang Tianxiao smiled and said, "No need, I'll just keep going. You should get dressed quickly so you don't get cold."

"It's okay, I'm in good health, how could I get cold? Besides, isn't this just like when we were kids?"

Wang Tianxiao was stunned.

Then, with a slight smile, she slipped into her younger brother's clothes.

Like wearing raincoats, the two brothers carried overcoats on their heads.

Wang Tianxin was talking about things from when the two of them were children.

At that time, Tianxin was particularly naughty. His mother wouldn't let him go out to play, but he would sneak out. As a result, when he came back, Zhang Yufeng, who had a bad temper, wouldn't let him come back in.

Wang Tianxin could only huddle outside the door, shivering in the dead of winter.

When Wang Tianxiao realized he couldn't let his younger brother come back, he would grab his clothes and run out, then huddle together with his brother at the entrance of the alleyway in the pit courtyard to keep warm.

This has happened many times.

Wang Tianxiao would have forgotten about these things if Wang Tianxin hadn't suddenly brought them up.

It happened forty or fifty years ago, and it was a trivial matter.

Are you scared?

Wang Tianxiao flipped the wolf leg on the stick and asked his younger brother with a smile.

Wolf meat, well, it has a slightly earthy taste, not that delicious...

However, whether it tastes good or not is hard to say.

Wang Tianxiao gradually realized that what he thought was unpalatable might be delicious to others, so it was really hard to make a definitive judgment.

Moreover, the flavor of barbecue mainly comes from seasonings.

Without seasoning, no meat will taste very good.

But things are different now than before.

Everyone hasn't eaten anything since lunch yesterday. Even if we just sit quietly, we'll be starving, let alone after fighting intensely for most of the day and night.

Even with all his might, he had exhausted it.

At this time, anything edible will smell delicious to them, and they won't care about the taste at all.

That's not possible.

Fortunately, there's nothing else, but now there are wolves and jackals lying all over the ground, which we can eat.

Because jackals have a complex diet, eating them is generally a bit dangerous and they are prone to parasitic diseases, so it is not recommended to roast them directly. Wolves, on the other hand, are a different story.

You can just put it on a grill and eat it.

Four wolf legs, one for each person to gnaw on.

They were actually enjoying the munching process immensely.

"If only I had a drink right now."

Wang Tianxiao said quietly.

He doesn't actually like drinking much, but for no reason, he suddenly felt like having a drink.

He recalled the characters in martial arts novels who ate with great gusto, saying that a true man should eat meat and drink wine heartily without any coyness.

Living on the edge of a knife, we live for today, for tomorrow we may die; who cares if tomorrow brings a deluge?

While it may seem that Thailand is more free, it also exudes a sense of nonchalance.
