Qi Xie quickly returned to the kitchen and brought out a pile of firewood. He planned to light it directly in the yard to melt the ice.
The ice has to melt. The person is completely unable to walk normally anymore.
In no time, a fire broke out in the yard. Feng Ran then threw a few more tables, chairs, and benches onto the fire.
The fire burned until dinner was over, and only part of it melted. There was nothing we could do but wait until tomorrow to continue.
Otherwise, if a fire breaks out on the mountain in the middle of the night, wouldn't that be telling others that there are people here?
The fire was lit the next day, and by the afternoon the ice had finally melted. There was too much water to drain away. The surrounding area was completely frozen over. The ice was at least half a person high.
It's really scary.
Having no other choice, the group used a basin to scoop up water from the melting ice and, taking advantage of the high temperature from the fire in the yard, poured it out.
We worked until just before dinner and finally finished.
Now that's great, it'll be even harder for outsiders to spot their three houses!
A thick layer of ice, about half a person high, had also formed on the surface of the valley.
It's now even more completely blocked.
The next morning, the Wang brothers came to check on Feng Ran and the others. They said the entrance to their cave had also been sealed off. They had worked all day and barely managed to get out. Seeing that Feng Ran and the others were alright, they went back home relieved.
However, Wang San San brought some news.
Two days ago, they were attacked by a wolf while they were chopping wood on the mountain.
Wolves travel in packs. If there's even one, it can't be a lone wolf. Wang San San told them to be careful.
Good grief, another job is coming up...
With no other option, the group worked through the night to raise the fence.
Reinforcing it is out of the question. The fence next to it is frozen solid.
The group discussed and considered whether they should simply add an iron fence to the top.
They were in a depression. Now the ice layer above them had raised the elevation even further. It would be troublesome for the wolves to jump down directly.
It would be better to just cap it out.
"That's not realistic..."
Bai Lian thought about it for a while and then refused.
Firstly, the top is too large, and the process is too cumbersome.
Secondly, if something happens, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Also, if the wolf really does fall, we can easily catch it like a turtle in a jar!
“That’s right. We have weapons, so we don’t really need to be afraid of wolves. What’s more terrifying than wolves is the human heart. As for wild wolves, everyone just needs to be careful. If all else fails, we can start a night watch,” Qi Xie said.
"That works. Shall we take turns doing it during the night?"
"Okay." Qi Xie readily agreed to Bai Lian's suggestion.
Feng Ran didn't get a word in edgewise. But at least she didn't have to keep watch.
Feng Ran agreed with a smile.
See? It's good to have underlings.
The Wang brothers actually brought a large pile of firewood the next day. They also told Feng Ran that they were worried they would be stuck in the valley and unable to cut firewood.
He ran away without taking the big bag of corn that Feng Ran had given him.
Feng Ran knew that this brother genuinely and simply wanted to bring them some firewood.
I feel very comforted.
During the day, Qi and Bai would take a nap after dinner. Feng Ran would continue reading her novel. However, everyone joined the ranks of those conserving electricity, only charging their phones and turning on the lights occasionally.
Unfortunately, solar power generation is practically useless now. Diesel power generation definitely needs to be reduced.
If we're talking about good luck, Feng Ran is truly lucky.
Can you imagine a wild rabbit falling from your head while you're taking a walk in your yard?
She was knocked unconscious on the spot.
If Bai Lian hadn't seen it and checked on her, Feng Ran would have thought she had fallen to her death.
The idea of stewing rabbit in an iron pot was nipped in the bud.
After all, eating meat once is nothing compared to eating meat permanently!
"Hehe... Shall we raise them?"
Under Bai Lian's approving gaze, Feng Ran's drool dripped to the corners of his mouth.
Alright...
Now I'll have to raise rabbits again...
Unbeknownst to the two, Qi Xie was standing behind the house and throwing it towards Feng Ran. His original plan was to kill the person and keep the food.
Who knew she was just knocked unconscious...
The two rabbits that lived in the previous space have already had another litter of baby rabbits.
Moreover, Qi Xie Mingxing discovered that rabbits get pregnant and give birth much faster than those outside.
This skill is absolutely amazing.
In the afternoon, Bai Lian found a cage for the rabbit and put it in the kitchen.
Feng Ran stood by and watched for a long time, but had no choice but to throw in a few vegetable leaves and then turn around and leave.
I couldn't help but look at her again.
"...Is this a male rabbit?" Jixiang asked, looking at Bai Lian beside her.
"I didn't see... let me see." Bai Lian opened the cage and turned his belly over. It really was.
"A male rabbit?" Feng Ran turned back, looking at the rabbit with delight.
"Um."
"Eat it! Male rabbits don't reproduce."
"Um."
Hahaha... Feng Ran was overjoyed.
In the afternoon, Qi Xie finished preparing the rabbit, and Feng Ran offered to cook.
"Sizzle—" Hot oil is poured into the pan!
Little white rabbit, so cute! Lift up its two ears!
After cutting off the neck, they cut off the thigh. So cute, not moving at all.
Little white rabbit, so cute! It's so smooth and soft without any fur.
Peel it, chop it into pieces, and throw it into the pot to stir-fry.
Little white rabbit, so cute! Dancing in the pot is too dangerous!
Chop some scallions, smash some garlic, and mix in sesame oil, chili, and star anise.
Feng Ran hummed a tune as she stir-fried the rabbit meat.
The mouths of the people sitting by the fire nearby twitched as they listened.
Qi Xie almost burst out laughing.
Spicy rabbit meat cubes in chili oil. I stir-fried two large bowls of it.
That evening, the group ate steamed buns as a meal. Feng Ran even took out her treasured coffee and milk tea to drink.
That night, Qi Xie used the excuse of going to the toilet to hide away in the space alone.
At this moment, Li Luo had finished the small plate of rabbit meat that Qi Xie had brought into the space.
The man, whose lips were slightly swollen and red, watched Qi Xie enter without even glancing at him.
He just stared at the rabbits running around in the space.
"Is it delicious?"
"...It's still edible."
"Then I won't waste my time bringing them to you anymore."
"...Bringing some is fine too."
She's so stubborn.
"Here, please help feed these vegetables." After saying that, Qi Xie placed the old cabbage leaves and some radishes that he had brought into his space on the ground. He was about to leave the space when Li Luo called him back.
"Wait. The task I mentioned..."
"Understood." He then immediately left the space.
He couldn't understand why this guy, who clearly wanted to see Jixiang, wouldn't just say so directly. Why go through all this trouble?
Even though I really want to do it, how would I know if the other person wants it or not...
If you're not careful, being kicked out would be the least of your worries.
Moreover, even after he delayed several times, this guy only talked about it and didn't actually do anything wrong.
However, there are still some things to be aware of.
"Qi Xie?...Qi Xie?"
"Hmm, oh? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Did you hear what I just told you? Why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?"
