"cough……"
Mu Xueyi coughed and woke up dimly.
After opening her eyes, she immediately went to Zhou Zhenyue next to her, "Ayue?"
Zhou Zhenyue and Ge Weinong are shoveling the snow in the house onto the plastic sheet, and then transporting it outside the house, so as not to accumulate too much snow and collapse to the broken straw mat in the middle of the night.
Hearing Mu Xueyi calling her, Zhou Zhenyue did not stop what she was doing, but she answered from a distance: "I am here."
Mu Xueyi looked up and saw that the sky was already half dark, and there was a large pile of wood branches in the middle of them sitting around, which had not been lit yet. It should be prepared for the night.
I just don't know, when A Yue and the others collected so many branches.
Her body is too weak.
The sleep just now was not so much a deep sleep as a semi-coma.
Zhou Zhenyue shoveled out the last bit of snow, threw away the shovel, patted the broken snow on his hands, and walked over.
"Are you hungry?" She grabbed her big backpack, "I bought biscuits and bread at the foot of the mountain. You can eat some first. After the fire starts, I will cook you instant noodles."
Lin Keni, who was laying a blanket on one side, straightened up and asked curiously: "Miss Zhou, have you brought the pot?"
Zhou Zhenyue: "I didn't bring a pot, but I bought some tin foil. I originally wanted to cook some barbecue on New Year's Eve, but now it just happens to be a pot."
She said, took out a roll of tin foil, tore off a large piece, and sat next to Mu Xueyi.
As soon as Zhou Zhenyue sat down, Mu Xueyi leaned over, cuddling her.
"Hey," Zhou Zhenyue fiddled with the piece of tin foil and asked the people around him, "Have you ever played with folding paper when you were a kid?"
Mu Xueyi shook her head, "Just watch others stack up, I won't."
Zhou Zhenyue's lips curled slightly, and she smiled lightly: "Then look good, I'll turn you into a magic trick."
Mu Xueyi grinned and stared at the piece of tin foil in Zhou Zhenyue's hand.
I saw that the slender fingers with the jade ring were playing with the tin foil lightly, folding in half, turning, and reversing. Before I could see the details of the steps, I clicked twice, and I saw a square box appearing in Ayue’s. Hands.
Mu Xueyi widened her eyes in surprise: "How did you fold it?"
Zhou Zhenyue smiled without saying a word, turned around and pulled her big backpack, and opened the zipper to show Mu Xueyi, "Look, what kind of instant noodles do you want to eat? I have braised beef, old altar sauerkraut, and fragrant seafood. , And ham sausage."
Mu Xueyi glanced at the large slices of instant noodles in his bag, and couldn't help asking: "Why would you buy so many instant noodles?"
Zhou Zhenyue: "I didn't eat it myself."
Mu Xueyi: "That's...?"
Zhou Zhenyue: "It's fennel. When he grows up, he doesn't like to eat feed anymore. Once, he accidentally ate some instant noodles leftover by the servant. Since then, he only eats instant noodles. I asked people to buy a lot of instant noodles, add ham sausage, soak it, let it cool, and give it to eat with water."
"Isn't it the Chinese New Year?" Zhou Zhenyue took out a bag of braised beef, "I thought, I bought fennel to improve the food on the mountain, so I bought so much in one breath."
Mu Xueyi took the bag of braised beef noodles, rubbed the crispy plastic packaging bag with his fingertips, and smiled at the corners of his lips.
Ah Yue is so gentle with little animals.
Speaking of the New Year, Lin Keni couldn't help but sigh:
"It's New Year's Eve in two days. I don't know if we can return to the Hot Spring Villa at that time."
Mu Xueyi sighed: "Who knows..."
Ge Weinon, who had been silent all the time, suddenly opened Ching's mouth, faintly spit out two words:
"Will do."
Lin Keni looked at Ge Weinong in a daze, her expression softened for a long while.
"Thank you, Miss Ge." She said softly.
The tone was gentle, as if expressing gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
Ge Wei-Nong turned around to look for the lighter, and stopped speaking, but the tips of his ears were slightly red.
It was completely dark, and they lit the pile of dead branches. After the fire ignited, the surrounding area became much warmer, and the frozen limbs gradually restored normal blood circulation.
Zhou Zhenyue built a simple shelf, put the folded tin foil bowl on top, poured a bottle of mineral water, put in instant noodles, and sprinkled the seasoning.
Several people sat around the fire, holding biscuits and bread to satisfy their hunger.
Mu Xueyi took a piece of dry bread and bit it down. It felt like it had been bitten on rubber glue, cold and hard.
Zhou Zhenyue took the loaf of bread from her hand, skewered it on a long cleaned branch, and baked it on the tongue for a while. When the roast was hot and crisp, she blew it patiently before handing it to Mu Xueyi.
"Thank you, Yue."
Mu Xueyi gnawed on the warm bread and mumbled vaguely.
Zhou Zhenyue smiled lightly and took Mu Xueyi's shoulders, "Come here and let me hold it."
So Mu Xueyi bit the bread and rubbed it here, leaning into Zhou Zhenyue's arms.
Zhou Zhenyue spread out her right hand and connected it to Mu Xueyi's chest, so that all the crumbs she fell when she ate the bread fell into her palm.
Ge Wei Nong looked at them silently, with the light of the fire shining in his eyes, slightly in a daze.
She has been following Mu Xueyi for a while.
In the impression of Mu Xueyi, although it looks weak, but the facts of the behavior are very harsh and straightforward, and there are quite a lot of people in the city, without losing the thick black.
She had never seen Mu Xueyi like this, nestled in another person's arms, her deep eyes that could not be seen before suddenly became clearer than the stream in the early spring.
Ge Weinon recalled before.
When she gets along with Mu Xueyi, it seems that Mu Xueyi is actively controlling everything.
However, when Mu Xueyi and Zhou Zhenyue were together, they willingly handed over control to Zhou Zhenyue.
...What a trust this is.
Only then will a hedgehog expose its belly under the opponent's claws.
The moment the word "sharp claw" flashed in her mind, she suddenly felt something wrong.
Her stereotype always seems to make her think that as Mu's opponents, the Zhou family should always have claws on the Mu family.
But Chairman Zhou to the second lady...
I just want to put her in my pocket and hold her on the tip of my heart.
Ge Wei-Nong couldn't help but think of the situation when he fell a tree in the afternoon.
Zhou Zhenyue sat in the heavy snow with her chin slightly raised, as cold as a jade sculpture.
When she said those words to herself, she looked calm and indifferent, neither humble nor overbearing, neither upset nor down, she was clearly a superior, but she did not have any condescending arrogance at all. It makes people feel that such a person who is not arrogant and unpunished, what she says seems to have a great truth.
The aura of the strong, rightly so.
She just sat there and said that braised beef noodles are better than Laotan sauerkraut noodles. People who listened to it would even nod their heads.
Ge Wei Nong sighed.
No wonder the second lady of her family hunched back and forth in Zhou Zhenyue's arms like a big rabbit.
For a woman like Zhou Zhenyue, which girl doesn't want to arch in her arms.
She smiled and shook her head, don't look away.
For the first time, I no longer looked at the two people from a surveillance perspective.
The instant noodles have been cooked, exuding a rich and attractive aroma.
Zhou Zhenyue cooked two packs. She just folded another bowl, divided the noodles into two, and handed one to Ge WeiNong and Lin Keni.
Mu Xueyi used the spoon in the cutlery bag in Zhou Zhenyue's backpack to scoop up some instant noodle soup and warm it up. The first bite was given to Zhou Zhenyue's mouth.
Zhou Zhenyue took a sip.
Mu Xueyi's eyes crooked with a smile: "Ayue, isn't the fragrance fragrant?"
Zhou Zhenyue lowered her eyes, and each eyelash was wrapped in warm light under the firelight.
"It smells good." She said with a smile.
Mu Xueyi raised the tin foil bowl again, "You eat noodles."
Zhou Zhenyue touched Mu Xueyi's head and said in a warm voice: "You eat, I will eat the rest."
"How can I let you eat leftovers?" Mu Xueyi held up the chopsticks with that unwieldy hand, "Well, you take a bite, I take a bite, and eat together."
Zhou Zhenyue didn't push away too much, she took the chopsticks from Mu Xueyi's injured hand, picked up the tin foil bowl, and said in the ear of the person in her arms:
"I feed you."
The fragrant breath blows in my ears. Mu Xueyi blushed and gave a hmm.
After eating hot soup and hot noodles, all four of them became much warmer. In addition to the burning fire in front of them, listening to the crackling of the burning wood, watching the heavy snow leaking from the side of the eaves, it was a moment of life. Come out with some comfort.
It was late at night, and while they were still warm, they began to prepare for sleep one after another.
Physical strength must be preserved at this time, and adequate sleep is very important.
Ge Wei-Nong fell asleep sitting near the door, and she consciously assumed the responsibility of protecting everyone. If a small mountain beast enters by mistake, she needs to stop it there.
Lin Keni was still sitting beside Ge Wei Nong and squinting. Although she had very little communication with Gravy, she still relied on Gravy instinctively.
She seemed to believe in her heart that if this woman could help her run away the wretched male guest, then she could also take herself out of the immediate danger.
Before going to bed, Ge Weinon collected the communication equipment of four people and gave them to Mu Xueyi. Mu Xueyi basically can't move much because of his legs. The position is relatively fixed and relatively idle, so he can keep staring at the signal.
Before going to bed, Mu Xueyi tried the walkie-talkie and cell phone one by one.
Still can't receive any signal.
She put the walkie-talkie at her feet, leaned back into Zhou Zhenyue's arms, and yawned.
Zhou Zhenyue patted her on the back and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
The night was silent.
The firewood also made a slight cracking sound, and through the roof without eaves on that side, a thick black night sky could be seen on the narrow side.
The heavy snow was dotted there, as if it had spilled goose feathers in the dark well. In a square inch away from the naked eye, embroidered a piece of poetic floral dotted cloth.
When the two people over there fell asleep, Mu Xueyi's eyes were full of guilt.
She closed her eyes, buried her face in Zhou Zhenyue's shoulder, and whispered:
"Ayue, in fact...I always wanted to say sorry to you in person today, really...I'm really sorry. If I didn't run around, I wouldn't drag you to this place."
Zhou Zhenyue's eyebrows were soft, "Do you really think you are wrong?"
Mu Xueyi: "...I always do stupid things."
Zhou Zhenyue did not choose to comfort her with what she said, but asked another question:
"When you couldn't reach me in the villa, what did you think?"
Mu Xueyi smiled dispassionately.
"Just one thought, I'm afraid you are dead."
Zhou Zhenyue said softly: "Yeah, I'm dead or alive, how can you still ask yourself to maintain absolute sanity? Didn't I return to the mountainside twice because I was afraid of your accident? If you say you What I did was stupid, so my behavior can't be called clever."
Mu Xueyi was startled.
Zhou Zhenyue: "Xueyi, none of us are smart people. But you didn't blame me, why should I blame you."
"If I have no reason to blame you, there is no need for you to blame yourself, do you?"
A Yue... really knows how to solve the knots in her heart.
With just a few words, Mu Xueyi felt that there was really nothing to blame.
She chuckled and hugged Zhou Zhenyue's waist tightly.
"Well, I don't think about it. Fortunately, we are all fine now."
A few wisps of cold night wind pierced under the eaves, rolled up a few pieces of goose feather and heavy snow, and blew it onto the jumping tongue of fire.
In a blink of an eye, it burned.
It melts into water, and before it can fall into the hot fire, it evaporates into smoke.
Zhou Zhenyue was silent for a long time.
After a long while, she tentatively asked in a soft voice:
"If... I mean if. If something happens to me and I die, what will you do?"
Mu Xueyi curled her lips and said word by word:
"If you die, I will hit your tombstone to death."
Zhou Zhenyue tightly hugged Mu Xueyi's arm and buried her face in her ears.
"So simply?" She sighed jokingly, "You, you say this because I am making assumptions. When that happens, you will know that when people are really facing death, where will they be? decisive……"
Mu Xueyi raised his eyes and looked at the heavy snow tumbling in the night sky.
"I will be so decisive."
She muttered these seven words extremely softly.
