There is no other way but to clean it bit by bit with a broom...
By the time Hua Li climbed down the ladder from the roof, Hua Shi had also swept all the snow in the yard. He had been clearing snow almost the entire day, and his hands and feet were so sore that they felt weak.
After finally getting a chance to rest for a while, the sky darkened again.
Five siblings sat in a row under the eaves, watching the snow falling in the yard, chewing the winter dates in their hands one by one.
Today is the third day. I have been eating winter dates to fill my stomach these days. My mouth is sore and numb after eating them for so many days.
Moreover, I picked more than three bags of winter dates in the mountains a few days ago, but after three days, only one bag was left.
If the snow doesn't stop, I'm afraid the winter jujubes won't last much longer...
And the day after tomorrow is the date I have an appointment with He Jiang...
Hua Li, who was sitting closest to Hua Shi, rolled his eyes around twice. From time to time, he raised his head, turned around with a troubled look, and looked at Hua Shi twice.
Finally, when Hua Shi was about to get up and go back to the house, Hua Li couldn't help but ask,
"Hey, why hasn't Xiao Hei come out these days? It seems like I haven't seen it for a long time..."
Hua Li looked at her with some trepidation, his expression conflicted, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
It's been so long since we last met, could something have happened?
Even if the black cat didn't often appear in the yard before, he would come out for a stroll from time to time. But for the past three days, he has been watching closely and there is no sign of Xiao Hei...
Hua Shi was really stunned now. Only after Hua Li mentioned it did she react.
That black cat hasn't been back for a long time...
She had just thought yesterday that maybe it was hungry following her, so it ran back to the mountains to find food and hide away for the winter.
Later, Li asked him to sweep the snow. He was busy all day and was so tired that his whole body ached. He couldn't think of anything else.
She naturally put all these thoughts and ideas behind her. Now that Hua Li reminded her, she thought about it carefully again.
She still felt something was wrong. She knew that the spring in her palm attracted animals in the mountains. The black cat had never come back since it ran out to find food a few days ago.
She was sure that the black cat had been so persistent in clinging to her and staying by her side, it was impossible for it to just run away without a word...
Moreover, the wild animals in the mountains seem to be more human-like than each other. If they could speak, they would be no different from humans.
“Why aren’t you talking…?”
Hua Shi didn't speak for a long time. Hua Li frowned and couldn't help but ask.
Hua Shi blinked, coming back to his senses, and then shook his head at Hua Li, "I don't know either, maybe he will be back in two days."
She thought that something must have happened to the black cat in the mountains, which was why he hadn't returned for so long...
Hua Li didn't like Hua Shi's irresponsible answer. She frowned and muttered a few words of dissatisfaction, "Isn't that your cat...? How come you don't know this..."
Hua Shi stood up and listened to his dissatisfied muttering. He said indifferently, "It's my cat, but I'm not it. How would I know where it ran off to?"
Hua Li choked, and her dissatisfied expression became even more intense.
Hua Shi ignored him and turned back into the house.
She planned to go into the mountains tomorrow, if the snow wasn't so heavy, to look for the cat and see if there were any winter jujubes left in the jujube forest. She wondered if they had all fallen and rotted in the snow after a few days of snow.
