Reborn in that autumn

Ao Shijie replied: "I will, and you should also pay attention to your safety."

After saying that, they stopped talking and walked cautiously towards the depths. The room became wider and wider as they went inside.

After a while, they came to the end. Ao Shijie checked twice in the cave and made sure it was safe. He said to Xue Xiaoqi: "Miss Xiaoqi, this cave is very safe. There is no danger. It is probably too high. It is normal." No birds or animals can come up, let alone snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Let’s find a place to settle down and set off again tomorrow morning. This is inside a cave and the wind can’t come in. It should be very warm tonight.”

After saying that, Ao Shijie took out the blanket that Xue Xiaoqi covered yesterday and handed it to Xue Xiaoqi and said: "This is the blanket you covered yesterday. You can still cover it tonight! Its heating properties are still very good. warm."

"Even the slightest wind can be blocked."

Xue Xiaoqi took it and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shijie, what are you building tonight?"

Ao Shijie replied: "I have a cloak, which is the same as a quilt."

"If you want to eat something, I'll cook it for you."

Xue Xiaoqi replied: "You can eat whatever you want. It's up to you to decide. I'll eat whatever I have. I'm not picky about food."

Ao Shijie didn't take the firewood in the ring. He saw a pile of branches in the corner and had some thoughts. He must have made fires on the snowy mountains before and the villagers prepared them in time!

Ao Shijie brought back a pile of dry branches, and stacked them up with a few stones. He placed the dry branches in the gaps between the stones, lit them with fire sticks, and asked Xue Xiaoqi to watch the fire go out before he walked out. He took a small iron pot from the ring, collected some clean snow, and carried it back to the snow cave.

Back in the cave, Ao Shijie put the iron pot on the fire.

Then he sat down and started adding firewood. Xue Xiaoqi probably felt embarrassed to do nothing, and said to Ao Shijie: "Master Shijie, let me add more firewood! I can't cook, so I'll trouble you."

Ao Shijie smiled and replied, "I don't know how to do it either, but if I can do it, I can make people laugh."

"If it doesn't taste good, please be patient."

"Miss Xiaoqi, I plan to make some soup. There is fish in my ring, and the rice is a bit troublesome. How about we eat the steamed buns we had for lunch? This time, eating them in the soup will make them softer and not as choking as at noon. "

Xue Xiaoqi smiled and replied: "It's okay. I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever you do."

"I relied on you to take care of me along the way. All the food and drinks were yours, and I had to ask you to cook for me and serve me. I felt really embarrassed."

Ao Shijie cleaned the fish, got some water to wash it, and then put the fish into the boiled snow water.

After simmering for a while, the water inside boiled. Ao Shijie took out the salt bag, grabbed a small amount of fine salt and put it into the fish soup.

Xue Xiaoqi saw it and asked: "Master Shijie, what are you putting?"

After hearing this, Ao Shijie handed the salt bag in his hand to Xue Xiaoqi and said, "Try it."

Unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoqi actually tasted it. He took a little bit with two fingers, put it in his mouth, winced and said, "Bah, bah, bah, it's so salty."

He asked Ao Shijie, "This is salt. How can salt be so fine?"

Ao Shijie asked curiously: "This is salt. You haven't eaten it before. So what do you eat? I've been eating this kind of salt since I was a child."

Xue Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten it before. The salt we eat is very thick and big."
