Hua Shi walked over, pulled another quilt over him, and covered him with it, sweeping the snow on top to the ground.
Hua Li had his back to her, as if he was secretly wiping away tears.
Hua Yu, on the other side, stood there with his shoulders hunched and his head lowered. His messy hair obscured the expression on his face, making it difficult to see.
The atmosphere in the room was silent and strange.
Hua Shi walked over and closed the small window that was blown open by the wind.
"Bang."
"I'm going back first. If you two are tired, take a nap first. I'll come and call you later."
After Hua Shi said this, he didn't stay any longer, pushed open the door and walked out.
There was a sound of a door closing, and the door was closed again.
Hua Li blinked her eyes, which were sore from crying, and looked towards the door with a confused expression.
He didn't quite understand what Hua Shi said. What did he mean by calling them later... ?
Is it still early? But it looks like it's getting dark, or is it just too dark in the house...?
"Brother, are you tired? Do you want to sleep?"
Hua Li thought for a long time but still couldn't understand what Hua Shi had just said. Fortunately, he turned his head to look at his second brother and asked in a childish and hoarse voice.
Hua Yu silently raised his hand to rub his sore forehead, reached out to spread the rolled-up bamboo mat back on the bed, took off his shoes, turned over and climbed onto the bed, lying flat on it without saying a word.
Hua Li blinked. He was used to his second brother's occasional silence, so he followed his example and climbed onto the bed, pulling the quilt over himself.
He closed his eyes, but his eyeballs kept turning under his eyelids.
He couldn't sleep. The bed beneath him was cold and hard... He hated sleeping in the winter the most. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he would never wake up again...
Just like the first Little White, he had held it in his arms, hiding in the corner, sleeping with it. The snow was falling heavily, and when he was woken up by his second brother and pulled back, the Little White lying in his arms couldn't be woken up no matter what he did... It was frozen cold and stiff...
…
"Bang,"
"Meow……?"
Xiao Hei, who was guarding the door, keenly heard the footsteps outside the house.
After the small wooden door in front of him was pushed open, he meowed towards the door.
The white fox that was dozing on the kang bed also jumped down after hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, wagging its tail happily and trotting over.
As soon as Hua Shi opened the door, he ran into a fox and a cat, who were wagging their heads and wagging their tails, looking very excited.
“Meow meow meow…!”
“Chirp…!”
As soon as the two guys saw her come back, they circled around her twice, rubbing her calves excitedly with their hair and making loud noises of surprise.
"Shh, don't scream so loudly. We need to be quiet. We can't let anyone hear us, especially you."
Hua Shi quickly closed the door, raised his hand to touch the white fox's padded head, and spoke in a low voice.
"Chiu..."
The white fox blinked its confused eyes and obediently lowered its voice.
The black cat on the other side scratched Hua Shi's shoes unhappily until it left two claw marks, and then it loosened its claws slightly.
This stinky fox! I've only been here for one day, and I'm already stealing the flowers!
Whenever I came back from Hua Shi before, I was always the first one to touch it!
"Xiao Hei, you should be good too."
After Hua Shi finished rubbing one, she lowered her head to look at the black cat lying at her feet, which was obviously depressed. She also squatted down and rubbed the hair on its back.
Xiao Hei, whose fur had just been stroked by Hua Shi, immediately lost his anger. He rubbed his head against the back of Hua Shi's hand and meowed softly.
After calming down the two excited guys, Hua Shi finally took the time to look into the dimly lit room.
The house was still the same as when she left. The processed wild boar meat piled in the bamboo basket beside it was also intact, without any signs of being touched.
Obviously, the white fox and the black cat listened to her instructions and did not move.
"Wait, I'll make you something delicious in a moment."
Hua Shi clapped his hands and whispered.
"Meow!"
“Chiu!”
The white fox and the black cat stayed in the house obediently all day without going out and naturally hadn't eaten. Now their stomachs were empty, and when they heard Hua Shi say that there was something delicious, their eyes naturally lit up and they shouted excitedly.
Renovating this small house is neither difficult nor easy. In short, it requires more thought and effort.
Hua Shi first moved the wild boar meat and the basket to the wooden table in front of the kang bed. After placing them neatly, she took out the little white dog that was curled up under the box and was sleeping soundly, and asked Xiao Hei to watch it to prevent it from being scared and running around.
She ran back to the yard where heavy snow was falling and brought back the big knife for chopping wood.
After looking around, I found that this axe is the only thing I can use.
Back in the house, Hua Shi took a deep breath and listened to the sound of wind and snow falling outside. His heart beat twice.
“Crack!”
A muffled sound was heard.
Hua Shizheng held the axe in both hands and hammered hard with the back of the axe at the big hole where the wooden window was missing.
The wall was already fragile, and after a few muffled sounds, a small door frame was knocked out from the bottom.
"call……"
Hua Shi let out a breath, and after the knocking sound on the wall stopped, her heart, which was about to jump out of her chest, finally calmed down.
She was always worried that the noise in the house was too loud and would scare Li and the others, but no matter how careful she was, there would still be noise.
Now that the task is accomplished, I feel a little relieved.
The dim light outside the window came into the house through the small door frame.
She had thought of turning this window into a back door this morning.
If you want to hide your whereabouts in the future, just go out through this small back door.
Outside this door is a large, hidden grove of trees and bamboo forests. If you continue walking up the west side, you won't have to go far before you can turn onto a small path and enter the mountain.
It's just too convenient...
It just so happens that I have three pets in the house. If they want to go out for a walk, they can go out directly from here without having to climb through the window or walk through the main yard.
As soon as this thought came to mind, Hua Shi made up his mind almost immediately...
