Xiao An was so angry that she punched and kicked Pang Yi as he was going away. Until a piercing cold wind whistled and brushed across Xiao An's face like a knife, Xiao An suddenly shuddered all over. She quickly climbed back into the carriage and wrapped the quilt around herself. She was shivering and continued to curse Pang Yi in her heart.
When Pang Yi came back, Xiao An almost cried, not because she was cold and hungry. She was just too scared, such a deserted place, and in the middle of the night. It was really too much for a girl like her. At this time, she heard the footsteps coming from outside, and she finally felt relieved. She didn't care about being laughed at by Pang Yi. She hurriedly got out of the carriage.
"Why did you come back just now?" Xiao An was aggrieved and complaining. She rubbed her hands and looked at Pang Yi. "I was scared to death."
Pang Yi looked at Xiao An's delicate appearance, and somehow, he felt his scalp tighten. He squatted down, put down the firewood in his hand, untied a wild rabbit from his waist and threw it on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "By the way, I shot a rabbit in the woods."
Xiao An looked at the gray rabbit on the ground. She felt even hungrier, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and moved towards Pang Yi, whispering, "How do I eat this?"
Pang Yi ignored her and took out the flint and steel to make a fire. He was used to doing this kind of thing in the military camp, so his movements were quick and decisive. It took him only a short while to make a bonfire. Then he squatted down to skin the rabbit.
Xiao An also squatted down to warm herself by the fire, but her place was downwind, and the smoke was very strong, making her cough continuously. But it was too cold. Although she didn't like the choking smell of smoke, she was reluctant to move. She wanted to move to Pang Yi's side, but Pang Yi was peeling a rabbit, which was bloody and scary. She didn't dare to go over, so she squatted downwind honestly and cowardly, coughing constantly.
Pang Yi couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the coughing. He immediately quickened his hands and cleaned up the rabbit. Then he stood up to find strong branches to build a rack. Xiao An took advantage of this time to move towards him. When she saw the blood on the ground, she was frightened again and hurriedly scooped up a few handfuls of clean snow to cover it.
Pang Yi set up the rack, took the kettle and dry food from the carriage, filled the kettle with snow, and then put it on the rack to boil water, while he forked the rabbit and pancakes and roasted them over the fire.
"How long will it take before we can eat?" Xiao An smelled the strong aroma of meat in the air and was so hungry that she couldn't stand it. It was not her fault. She hadn't had a good hot meal for several days.
"Here." Pang Yi handed a hot pancake to Xiao An, meaning that she should eat it first to fill her stomach.
"I don't want to eat noodles anymore. I've been eating them for days," Xiao An grumbled, staring at the greasy rabbit roasting on the fire, swallowing her saliva in a cowardly way. "I want to eat meat."
Pang Yi stuffed the pancake into his mouth and ate it slowly. Maybe it was because he was too hungry, but Xiao An felt that the sound of Pang Yi eating was particularly loud today. The sound was so loud that it was audible. Xiao An became even hungrier. She took a few breaths, but couldn't help it. She looked at Pang Yi in a accusatory manner, "Can you eat a little quieter? Why are you smacking your lips?"
"Who smacked their lips?!" Pang Yi felt wronged and speechless. He discovered that even if he ignored Xiao An, she still had plenty of ways to make him very angry.
"It's you, you keep smacking your lips like that," Xiao An raised her chin and pointed at Pang Yi's mouth, "Is there something wrong with your mouth? Can't you close your mouth even when you eat?"
Pang Yi turned his eyes away angrily, and silently stuffed the biscuits in his hand into his mouth, chewing loudly as if on purpose.
Xiao An was so busy that she straightened her back and looked at Pang Yi with a smug and cocky expression: "I told you, if you don't believe me, listen for yourself..."
"I smack my lips more when I eat meat, do you believe it?" Pang Yi said slowly, breaking off a rabbit's front leg and starting to eat it. He said leisurely, "I can finish such a small rabbit by smacking my lips..."
"No!" Xiao An was about to cry, and moved closer to Pang Yi pitifully, "Leave some for me, I don't eat much, just a little bit is enough, please don't eat it all..."
