Bai Yuan took good care of Shi Wu.
All food and drink were delivered to the bedside, and someone even stood guard at the door when the child went to the toilet.
night.
The cold wind rattled the windows.
Every now and then you can hear the sound of branches breaking.
Shi Wu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
She's been sleeping a lot more these past few days, and now she doesn't feel sleepy at night.
Adding to her unease was the howling wind outside.
Then I couldn't sleep at all.
These past few days, Bai Yuan has been sleeping on the small bed next to him.
There was actually another room next door, but Bai Yuan was afraid that Shi Wu might need to find him, so he thought he should stay closer to her so that she could find him immediately if she needed anything.
"What's wrong?" The man was a light sleeper, and when he heard her tossing and turning, he opened his eyes.
Did I disturb you?
Shi Wu asked with concern.
"fine."
"I wasn't asleep either."
"The wind is a bit strong tonight, did it scare you?"
As he spoke, Bai Yuan got up and went to add some firewood to the kang (a heated brick bed).
Then he went to the window and looked out.
Everything outside was white, and the moonlight made it as bright as day.
"It's snowing again."
Bai Yuan sighed dejectedly as he spoke.
He then poured Shi Wu a glass of warm water and came to her bedside to keep her company.
"When I was little, if there was such a strong wind, my mom would say it was a monster coming."
"I was very scared at the time, but I was also very curious about what monsters looked like."
Shi Wu found it very interesting, and her previously agitated mood seemed to have calmed down considerably.
"By the way, I still don't know where you're from."
Bai Yuan looked at Shi Wu with curiosity.
"People from the South, about 2,000 kilometers away from here."
As Shi Wu spoke, she took a sip of water from her glass, took a deep breath, and looked out the window.
"It hasn't snowed where we live for many years."
"In my memory, it was many years ago."
"Back then, my family lived in a small alley. It snowed in the middle of the night, and the next morning, adults and children alike came out of the alley and had a snowball fight on the street."
"Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."
Bai Yuan felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to Shi Wu speak.
She is beautiful and has a lovely voice.
The more you listen, the more captivating it becomes.
"Do you regret coming here?" Bai Yuan asked curiously.
Shi Wu shook his head.
"Of course I don't regret it."
"It's so beautiful here. This is the first time in my life I've ever seen such thick snow."
"If my foot were fine, I would definitely go out and have a snowball fight and build a snowman."
As Shi Wu spoke, she looked at Bai Yuan.
"Actually, I don't think this accident is a bad thing."
"Whatever happens is all part of my destiny."
"Avalanche is."
"The same to you."
Bai Yuan, who was listening intently, was startled.
"Um?"
He seemed unable to believe what he was hearing.
"What's wrong?" Shi Wu looked at him with a grin.
"Do you regret saving me?"
Bai Yuan quickly shook his head in denial.
He was hunting in the vicinity when the avalanche occurred.
Upon hearing the sound, he rushed over to see what was happening. He was using his bare hands to carefully clear away the snow and rescue the tourists one by one.
"Baiyuan, tell me your story again."
Shi Wu took Bai Yuan's hand and made him sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).
“I’ve never left these mountains since I was a child, so what stories do I have to tell?”
Bai Yuan scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"Then tell me your hunting stories."
The woman looked at him with bright eyes.
For her, hunting stories were much more interesting than those that happened in the city.
"Okay, then I'll tell you about my first hunt."
"My first hunting trip was with my dad."
"The first animal I killed was a rabbit..."
Shi Wu listened attentively and fell asleep without realizing it.
The wind died down in the latter half of the night.
Bai Yuan also went back to his small bed and lay down.
He couldn't bear to extinguish the candles in the house, so he kept staring at the woman in the dim light.
He gently stroked her rosy cheeks with his palm.
the next day.
When Shi Wu woke up, Bai Yuan was kneading herbs beside her.
For leg injuries like Shi Wu's, there is a certain herb that is particularly effective.
But at this time of year, the vegetation in the mountains is covered by heavy snow.
Bai Yuan relied on his memory to uncover the thick snow and collect several fresh herbs.
I saw boots lying in the corner, still covered in snow.
Shi Wu looked at Bai Yuan with some surprise.
"When did you go out? I didn't hear a sound at all."
"I wasn't gone for long," Bai Yuan replied calmly, then continued rubbing the herbs.
He set out at dawn to find herbs, but he didn't mention a word about how arduous the process was.
"Bai Yuan, my leg feels like it's healed."
As she spoke, Shi Wu lifted her leg, wanting to get out of bed and walk around.
"Don't do anything reckless!"
Upon hearing the sound, Bai Yuan quickly put down the herbs in his hand and hurried to the bedside.
He looked at Shi Wu with a worried expression.
Do you need to use the restroom?
"I'll carry you there, don't move around."
As he spoke, Bai Yuan squatted down with his back to her.
"No, I just feel a little itchy on my skin, like it's healing."
"And I just twitched my toe, but it doesn't hurt at all."
