Chapter 161 The Cold Season Arrives
"Nothing, just eat something quickly and finish your school tasks. Don't waste time."
Qian Jingyao quickly put away his silly smile, his expression became serious, with a hint of concern and encouragement in his eyes.
Xia Yueke nodded obediently, turned and walked to the corner of the house where the school supplies were placed, ready to start the task assigned by Qi'an.
She spread out the paper made of animal skin, picked up the bone pen, frowned slightly, tried hard to recall the key points that Qi'an had said, and wrote carefully stroke by stroke.
The next morning, the outside world was covered with a thin layer of frost, and the weather became increasingly cold.
Xia Yueke and her three friends Duzi, Juanjuan and Rongqiu set out for school as usual.
Qian Jingyao was worried that Xia Yueke would catch a cold, so he carefully took out the thick animal skin that Qing Yan had carefully made last time, and carefully put two layers of skin on Xia Yueke. He also carefully adjusted the collar and cuffs to ensure that no cold wind could get in.
Xia Yueke's black braid grew a little longer and swayed gently behind her as she moved.
This braid used to cause her a lot of trouble. She found it troublesome to take care of it every time and even thought about cutting it off many times.
But Qian Jingyao has a special liking for this braid. She always spends time and effort to use various colorful animal tendons and exquisite bone ornaments to tie beautiful hairstyles for her in different ways.
Xia Yueke looked at the exquisite hairstyle in the mirror. Her love gradually overwhelmed her annoyance, so she gave up the idea of cutting off her braids.
After arriving at the school, Xia Yueke secretly encouraged herself and decided that today must not be like before.
She thought optimistically, just treat it as a review, after all, this knowledge seemed familiar.
But her thoughts suddenly drifted back to what Qi'an said yesterday: "Review the past to learn new things." She was startled and her body suddenly became stiff.
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind instantly. She slapped her head anxiously and exclaimed in a low voice:
"Oh my god, this is not going to be exposed, right? No, no, this must also be from the Saint's Cult. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
She kept comforting herself, trying to calm her pounding heart.
In the days that followed, Xia Yueke and her three cubs continued to go to Qi'an every day to learn the animal language knowledge that they had never been exposed to before, until they had completely learned the animal language.
However, she could always feel that Qi'an's gaze was strange, as if it contained many questions and a strong sense of wanting to say something but stopping.
Xia Yueke was frightened. In order to avoid Qi'an from asking further questions, she listened very carefully in his class, staring at Qi'an without blinking, afraid of missing any details. The pen in her hand kept recording the key points, and she was completely immersed in the learning atmosphere.
Finally, until Qi'an finished teaching the few people the content that they had not learned before, Qi'an did not find a chance to ask Xia Yueke again.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Snowflakes fluttered down like thousands of jade butterflies dancing in the air, or like stars breaking free from the shackles of the night and sprinkling freely onto the earth.
Xia Yueke, Duzi and others were originally in class, but in the blink of an eye, snowflakes began to fall, covering the distant mountains. They were looming in the misty snow, like beautiful buildings in a fairyland.
The branches of the nearby trees were bent by the accumulated snow. Some branches could not bear the weight and with a slight shake, they shook off balls of snow that fell like blooming pear blossoms.
"Oh my god, is that snow?"
Juanjuan immediately exclaimed, her voice full of surprise and astonishment. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the snowflakes flying in the sky outside the window. After all, they had never seen snow before!
Duzi stood in the distance, gazing at the snowy scene. His face flushed red from the cold wind, and he exhaled puffs of white air. "It's so beautiful! But it's a little chilly."
As he spoke, he couldn't help shivering and shrinking his neck, but he still couldn't bear to take his eyes away from that silver-white world.
The ball of fluff was so excited that it jumped up and down on the spot, waving its hands non-stop. "Wow! This is snow! I really want to go out and touch it!"
The other cubs were also in an uproar. Some of them lay by the window, their noses pressed against the glass, chattering away:
"Why is the snow so white?"
"Will it wet us like rain?"
Some of the cubs ran directly to Diexu, tugged at her clothes, and asked expectantly:
"Can we go outside and see the snow?"
The whole stone house was in chaos.
Die Xu looked at the group of excited cubs and shook her head helplessly, but a doting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Die Xu cleared his throat and raised his voice and said:
"Alright, kids, be quiet and go back to your seats."
The stone house suddenly became quiet. Although the cubs could still hardly hide their excitement for the snow, they still obediently returned to their seats.
Die Xu looked at these innocent faces and spoke slowly:
"Now that the winter season has arrived, as per tradition, our cub initiation school is coming to an end. During this time, I taught you a lot about herbs, which is very useful."
Die Xu's eyes flashed with anticipation. "When you go back, calm down and think carefully about what I've said about herbs these days. Go over the appearance, properties, and effects of each herb in your little heads. After the winter is over, I'll check to see who's the most attentive and clever little one who remembers the most."
When Duzi heard that the school was about to end, he was stunned for a moment, then a hint of reluctance appeared on his face, and he muttered softly:
"It's over so soon. I still have a lot of questions to ask."
Juanjuan excitedly pulled Xia Yueke next to her and said:
"Although I'm reluctant to leave, there are still many fun things to do during the winter season, and we can review our knowledge of herbs together."
Xia Yueke felt a bit of a headache when she thought about all the herbal knowledge. She found that she seemed to have no talent for studying Chinese medicine.
I forget everything after listening to it once, and then I have to ask Rongqiu and the others.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these three people’s brains. Although they are not as smart as me, their memory is impeccable. No matter what you ask them, they can almost remember it immediately.
Several people were immersed in their own thoughts when Hu Wanchou strode in.
His burly figure seemed to carry a gust of cold wind, but his eyes were still as bright as torches, revealing his innate ferocity and majesty.
"I didn't expect time to fly by so quickly in this Cub Initiation School. It feels like I've only just started a few lessons. It's all because the progress was so slow this time. We kept teaching you the basics of hunting. I thought the next lesson would teach you how to survive in the wild and truly face the challenges of nature."
