When Chu Feng and Yun Xin returned to the shelter, the sun had already disappeared into the horizon. The only thing left was the sunset glow. The clouds in the sky looked especially beautiful.
"I haven't seen such a sky for a long time.”Yun Xin raised her head and looked at the sky with infatuation.
She didn't know when it started, but she rushed to school and home. She just didn't stop and look up at the sky.
"Don't worry, you'll be able to see such scenery in the future.”Chu Feng took advantage of the fact that the sky was not very dark and started digging with the shovel.
"Ka da ka qiang!"
The sound of the shovel colliding with the rocks gave people goosebumps.
"Then I'll start making dinner." Yun Xin said softly. She was just a little emotional. Life still had to go on.
"Alright." Chu Feng responded and piled the soil he dug up beside the pit. This way, he could fill it up after he went to the toilet.
It was just a temporary toilet. After finding enough food, he would have to start planning for a new shelter and water.
" Huff huff huff…" Chu Feng slowed down his work to prevent sweating again.
He fixed the wooden cage and began to dig waterproof trenches around the shelter to divert the excess water so that it would not seep into the ground.
"Done." Chu Feng lit small bonfires around the shelter and worked for another half an hour before he finished the waterproof ditch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, thunder boomed from the horizon.
Chu Feng raised his head and looked at the night sky. What he saw was pitch black, and he couldn't even see the moon in the sky.
He frowned and sighed,"Is it going to rain tonight?"”
In the distant sky, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky. It disappeared in an instant, followed by the sound of thunder.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"It looks like it's raining in the distance.”Chu Feng was not nervous at all. They had a shelter to shelter them from the rain.
He took the shovel and extinguished the small fire around the shelter. After that, he returned to the shelter.
"Gulp…"
When Chu Feng arrived at the entrance of the shelter, he smelled the fragrance of meat and the sound of boiling water.
He saw Yun Xin sitting by the fire, lowering her head and using a chopper to cut a wooden stick into chopsticks. There was already a pair of sharpened chopsticks beside her.
"Done?" Yun Xin raised her head and said softly. She put down the chopper and shook her slender wrist.
"Let me do it." Chu Feng went forward to get the chopper.
"No need, you can taste it first.”Yun Xin said as she pushed Chu Feng's hand away.
Chu Feng didn't insist. He opened the lid and saw the stew inside, which was wild vegetables and snake meat.
He picked up a piece of snake meat with a pair of chopsticks, blew on it a few times, and took a bite.
"How is it?" Yun Xin's black pearl-like eyes were filled with anticipation.
This was the first time he was cooking a field meal. There was no skill involved, and there were no ingredients at all.
"The taste is not bad. Thanks to these wild vegetables, the smell of snakes has disappeared.”Chu Feng chewed on the snake meat and commented, looking like a gourmet.
"That's good." Yun Xin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Come, try it." Chu Feng took a bite of the snake meat and brought it to the girl's lips.
Yun Xin's ears turned red. She opened her mouth and bit the snake meat. After chewing it twice, her slender brows furrowed and she said in distress,"It tastes a little bitter."
"It's okay. Bitterness is also a kind of flavor.”Chu Feng said disapprovingly. At least the smell was not stinky.
Yun Xin didn't hesitate and said,"It's already been stewed for half an hour. Take it down."”
"Alright." Chu Feng took the steel pot down from the wooden hook and placed it on the stone beside him to cool it. He waited for the girl to finish sharpening the chopsticks before eating the wild game dinner together.
A few minutes later.
"Chu Feng, eat meat." Yun Xin said in a strange tone as she picked up a piece of snake meat and stuffed it into Chu Feng's mouth.
"You eat, I've already eaten a few pieces.”Chu Feng said softly. Before the girl could react, he had already picked up the steel pot and started drinking the soup.
"I'm not blind." Yun Xin muttered softly and wrinkled her nose. When Chu Feng put down the steel pot, she reached out and stuffed the snake meat into his mouth.
" You..." Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and started to chew on the snake meat.
"You should eat more. You'll have the strength to work tomorrow.”Yun Xin muttered and picked up the wild vegetables to eat.
She had noticed earlier that Chu Feng had been letting her eat the snake meat.
"Alright, I'm full. I'll give you the rest.”
Chu Feng threw the snake bones into the fire and stretched his body.""Eat all of this, lest the night brings bears.”
Bears had a very strong sense of smell. They could smell blood from 20 kilometers away. If it was a hungry bear, then good luck.
" You…" Yun Xin pouted and looked at Chu Feng, saying unhappily,""You have to eat more meat. I want to lose weight.”
"You'd better lose weight next time." Chu Feng said unhappily. This excuse was too lame. If he continued to lose weight, only bones and skin would be left.
He saw that the girl still wanted to say something, so he comforted her,"I'm really full. I've eaten a lot of wild vegetables and soup. I can't eat any more meat.”
Yun Xin complained in her heart,'Chu Feng's excuse is still so bad.'
"I don't like meat."
She glared at him with her black eyes and said with difficulty,""I hate snake meat."
" Pfft…" Chu Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The girl's ability to lie through her teeth was getting better and better.
He stared at the remaining three pieces of snake meat in the pot and quickly picked up one piece and stuffed it into his mouth. His voice was muffled,"Don't refuse. The remaining two pieces are yours.”
"..." Yun Xin wanted to say something, but Chu Feng glared at her and she obediently hugged the steel pot and started eating.
This kind of daily routine was often played out. When they rented a house, the two of them would fight with wits and courage to make each other eat more meat.
Chu Feng quietly looked at the young girl drinking the soup. There was a faint sense of warmth. For an orphan, perhaps this kind of scene was the most beautiful.
