Li Yan sat in front of the fire, warming her frozen hands and face. Over the past few days, the further north they went, the colder the weather became. Li Yan had already developed frostbite on her hands and face.
At this moment, the temperature in the cave rose. Li Yan touched the prickly cheek. It was too painful to go out in such weather!
Zhou Xun, who was sitting opposite, saw Li Yan scratching her face from time to time. He took out a bottle of ointment from his bag and handed it to Li Yan: "Stop scratching it, it will break if you scratch it again. Apply some chilblains medicine!"
Li Yan thanked Zhou Xun and took the ointment from him. Li Yan sighed in her heart, fortunately she had brought Zhou Xun with her. If it weren't for the frostbite medicine Zhou Xun prepared along the way, her hands and face would have been frozen and rotten!
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and there was a cold wind outside the cave. Heavy snow fell from the sky, and soon the ground was piled with white snow.
Lin Feng: "Let's rest here tonight and leave tomorrow when the snow stops!"
Li Yan asked, "Uncle, the roads are even harder to travel after the snow. Why didn't we brave the wind and snow to get to our next destination earlier?"
The monkey nearby explained, "Miss Li, you might not know this, but the North is sparsely populated. It's still two days' journey from here to the next village. With all this snow, we can't camp outdoors. Let's just take shelter here for now!"
As night slowly fell, Lin Feng took out the flatbread he had prepared on the road and roasted it on the fire.
After a day's journey, everyone smelled the aroma of food in the air and felt their stomachs were empty.
Lin Feng distributed the baked bread to everyone, and they finished the meal with boiled snow water.
After dinner, Lin Feng said: "Everyone, take a rest first. I will keep watch at night!"
Guo Dalang: "Boss, you go and rest, I'll keep watch!"
Lin Feng: "Okay, go to sleep, you can come and take my place in the second half of the night!"
After traveling for a long time, everyone was very tired. They wrapped themselves in their quilts and slowly fell asleep by the warm fire.
A sudden burst of wolf howling broke the quiet night sky.
The people who were sleeping soundly were awakened by the howling of wolves.
Everyone was very nervous. Judging from the howling, the wolves didn't seem to be very far away from the cave they were in.
The howling of wolves echoed in the cold night sky. Everyone was very nervous and remained alert, hoping not to be discovered by the wolves.
Everyone sat in the cave until the sky gradually brightened.
Everyone pushed open the rocks in the cave, and Li Yan looked at the vast expanse of white in front of her. At this time, the mountain forest had already been covered by thick snow, and everyone had a solemn expression on their face.
Heavy snow was drifting all over the sky, and no one knew when it would stop. Monkey asked Lin Feng worriedly, "Brother Feng, the snow doesn't seem to be stopping. Should we continue on our journey today?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "The goods we brought cannot withstand moisture, so let's not take any risks for now!"
Then he turned around and asked Li Yan, "Yan'er, how many days will our food last?"
Li Yan: "The food in the carriage is enough for us to eat for seven days, but I'm afraid the water won't last for a few days!"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "To be on the safe side, from today on we will only eat two meals a day until we reach our next destination. As for water, there's no rush. We can boil the snow on the ground and drink it!"
