Back to the Wilderness

The sky seems to be addicted to snow, and since that snow, it has been falling non-stop.Before the heat of the volcano melted the first layer of snow, the second layer fell down overwhelmingly.

Xie Chengji, Fuyun and the others took advantage of the occasional snow stop to go outside to look for food day and night, and only came back when the heavy snow raged again.After several times in this way, although it was snowy, they would not starve.

But then, even if the snow stopped for a few days, they stopped going out.Thousands of miles of snow cover, snow up to the waist, like walking in slush, every step requires all the strength of the whole body.Except for the pines and cypresses, the hills are all withered, and the beasts and birds are gone all day long.The river is covered with a thick layer of ice, and it takes half a day to dig through the ice to catch a fish.Even if you go out, you won't gain much.

Anyway, the food they stored was enough for them to live for a month or two, so they might as well stay in the crater and enjoy themselves.As for what will happen in a month or two, we'll see then.This snow can't keep falling like crazy until the end of time.

In the volcano, everyone was not really idle.Xie Cheng trained them whenever he had time, from secret codes to skills, he didn't let go.Everyone complained about their suffering for a while, but suffering will come to an end, and no one is willing to let go of this rare opportunity.Xie Cheng's teaching hit the nail on the head, what he taught them was what they lacked the most, and what was most suitable for dealing with the immediate crisis.Even the women practiced in a decent manner, not as good as Huangfu Yixiu, but not so powerless.

Sometimes, Xie Cheng would hold a martial arts competition on a whim, and many people had extraordinary performances in the competition.

After Xu Huihui received several compliments from Xie Cheng, her tail was almost up to the sky, and she would say that she was the reincarnation of a chivalrous woman when she saw people. Unfortunately, she was born at an untimely time. If it was in the troubled times of the past, she would be a proper hero.

So Gao Yiyang kept flattering her in front of her, almost calling her the reincarnation of Dongfang Bubai.

The snow was falling, and the crater was undisturbed and hot.Everyone is full of energy from day to night, and there is no feeling of bleakness in winter.

The long days of rain and snow have caused their quilts to remain dry, and the fluffy and warm cotton leaves have gradually become dry and cold.

Gao Yiyang slid into the bed, exhaled a breath of coolness, saw Ji Fuyun covered the quilt with his expression unchanged, and asked, "Brother Ji, are you cold sleeping alone?"

"It's okay." Ji Fuyun said, and it took only a while to be cold.

Gao Yiyang said enviously: "I heard that people who practice martial arts have a hot air in their bodies. I don't know if it's true or not. But Wei Xing said that when he slept with Brother Zhou, he felt that Brother Zhou's body was warmer than the quilt. Sigh , It’s just that my life is miserable, and I have to help an old man warm his bed.”

Lao Wang, who was waiting for the bed to warm up, gave Gao Yiyang a shudder, "Who are you talking about, the old man?"

"Who would dare to call you an old man here except you!" Gao Yiyang covered his head, his eyes wandered to Xie Cheng, "Hey, Boss Xie, are you really not afraid of the cold, and you also have a heater effect?"

Xie Cheng took the time to pat the quilt: "Want to come over and have a try?"

Gao Yiyang swallowed, looking forward to it, but still said: "Forget it, I don't dare."

After a while, Gao Yiyang urged Ji Fuyun unrelentingly, "Brother Ji, go and try it, I'm really curious!"

Ji Fuyun closed his eyes nonchalantly, "I don't dare either."

Xie Chengle said, "Why, I'm scary?"

Gao Yiyang hurriedly said: "Boss Xie is scary to the enemy, but to us he is amiable! We are not afraid of you, but respect you!" In Xie Cheng's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Gao Yiyang Yiyang immediately turned his head, "Master, come to sleep, I've already warmed the bed for you!"

"Why is it getting warm so fast today?" Pharaoh wondered.

Gao Yiyang has a serious face: "Probably after the wise teaching of Boss Xie these few days, I have also become a hot body!"

Training during the day and chatting at night, 20 days of this kind of life will pass.

The heavy snow had a tendency to stop, and the sun hung brightly in the sky.

And this day is the birthday of Zhao Lan and He Zhongqing.Ji Fuyun only knew about He Zhongqing's birthday, but overheard He Zhongqing mentioning that she and Zhao Lan were born on the same day by coincidence, so Ji Fuyun prepared two birthday presents.

Not many people knew that Zhao Lan and He Zhongqing were going to celebrate their birthdays, except for Ji Fuyun, who was Xu Huihui, and neither of them wanted to make any noise. They planned to send a small gift to say happy birthday and passed.

At night, Ji Fuyun and Xie Chenggao were chatting, and Xu Huihui looked at this side with her head probed.

Ji Fuyun understood, found an excuse at random and left, Gao Yiyang also wanted to follow, but was frightened away by Xu Huihui's stare, and complained to Boss Xie with a very unbalanced heart.

"Come quickly!" Xu Huihui greeted Ji Fuyun, and pulled him to the outer edge of the crater, where Zhao Lan and He Zhongqing had already been brought by her to wait.

He Zhongqing smiled and asked: "Brother Fuyun, Huihui said that you have something to ask me and sister Zhao Lan, what's the matter, and you still want to talk about it secretly?"

Ji Fuyun coughed twice and looked at Xu Huihui.

Xu Huihui nodded, took Zhao Lan and He Zhongqing for a few steps, and turned around again.

"..." Both Zhao Lan and He Zhongqing were stunned.

In front of him was endless snow, glowing white under the moonlight, and in the middle of that piece of snow, there were four big characters written in gully: Happy birthday!

He Zhongqing was still at a loss: "Is today my birthday?"

After they came to the wilderness, they lost the concept of the date and didn't react for a while.If it wasn't for Xie Cheng, Ji Fuyun wouldn't know the exact time.

"Dangdangdang!" Xu Huihui took out two red stones that were ground into a heart shape and handed them to them respectively: "Happy birthday! I'm giving you all my heart!"

Zhao Lan touched the stone that was still warm, her heart felt sour, and she almost shed tears.He Zhongqing still had a child's nature, she realized that it was her birthday, her face was full of joy, and she liked it even more when she saw the stone.

Seeing this, Ji Fuyun also took out the gift he had prepared.

What was given to Zhao Lan was a pearl the size of a baby's fist, shining brightly against the backdrop of the snow and moonlight. It was obviously a pearl of high-quality material.This would be invaluable in a civilized society, but now it seems that it is really useless except for decoration.Ji Fuyun was fishing in the river, and found it from a river mussel the size of a washbasin, without much effort.

From Ji Fuyun's point of view, this is not worth mentioning, but to Zhao Lan, it's different, the tears she held back before instantly fell down.

Xu Huihui was dazzled by the pearl's light, "Pearl! Hero Ji, you really don't give me face. I gave you stones and you actually gave me pearls!"

Ji Fuyun seemed to explain it to Zhao Lan, comforting her, "The one I gave was fished from the river, and the one you gave was ground by hand, which one is so precious?"

Xu Huihui giggled.

"Happy birthday, it's useless, just take a look." Ji Fuyun handed the pearl to Zhao Lanna.

Zhao Lan's eyes were full of tears, and she felt that her heart was enveloped in a layer of gentle mist, and the inferiority and cowardice she had hidden since childhood were melted away.Growing up in the mountains, I am proud when I go out, but I can't help feeling inferior when I come into contact with Huahua World.She dare not make friends with others, because she can't afford the occasional gifts between friends, she is busy studying and making money, and she has no time to develop friendships.She hasn't had a birthday since she left for high school.

But here, when the pressure of survival is heavier than before, I have gained sincere feelings.Zhao Lan felt that if it wasn't for worrying about her parents who were still in the mountains, it would be very good to live like this all the time here, very good.

"Sister Zhao Lan, take it." He Zhongqing advised from the side.

Zhao Lan wiped away tears, holding a warm heart-shaped stone in one hand, and a cold pearl in the other, the two touches with different temperatures but the same essence moved Zhao Lan again, "Thank you, thank you very much! "

"Oh!" Xu Huihui patted her on the shoulder embarrassingly, "My friend, thank you for what you said!"

Ji Fuyun chuckled, and then took out the gift for her under He Zhongqing's expectant eyes.

"Wow!" Xu Huihui always made sound effects for face.

In fact, it is just a necklace made of animal teeth. With Ji Fuyun's handwork, it can at most be cleaned and the outer layer removed, and nothing more can be asked for.But this string of necklaces with some primitive wildness is very popular among girls.

He Zhongqing was even more excited to put it on on the spot, and the animal teeth with vague vigor diluted her petite and weak temperament, making her look a lot more courageous.

This is exactly what Ji Fuyun expected, "You are already a grown-up."

"En!" He Zhongqing nodded heavily, she understood the meaning of Ji Fuyun's words.

Several people chatted for a while in the cold wind, and Ji Fuyun urged them to go back to the volcano, it was not so cold outside.

Gao Yiyang had been scratching his head curiously for a long time, and when he finally saw Ji Fuyun coming back, he rushed forward, "What did Huihui tell you to do? Hard work? Why didn't you call me?"

Ji Fuyun: "You called Huihui so soon?"

The innocent boy Gao Yiyang's face turned red instantly, he hesitated and said: "Brother Ji..."

Ji Fuyun couldn't help showing a smirk, Shi Shiran walked to the fire, and ignored Gao Yiyang.

The old Wang rolled his eyes, and with one sentence, Ji Fuyun's expression of watching the show was broken, "I saw that girl Zhao Lan's eyes were red, so it must be you who bullied her?"

Gao Yiyang jumped over, "How is it possible! Brother Ji still bullies girls, so did Huihui pull him out and trample him?"

"The bullying I'm talking about is not that kind of bullying." Old Wang smiled strangely, "I don't think that girl was wronged, but moved!"

"Moved?" Gao Yiyang rolled his eyes, and immediately laughed at Ji Fuyun, "Oh, Brother Ji, I can't tell!"

Ji Fuyun said angrily: "Are you thinking a little too much?"

"No!" Old Wang and Gao Yiyang shook their heads together.

Ji Fuyun said coolly: "Last time, you also said that Huangfu Yixiu and Xie Cheng were having trouble with each other."

"Uh..." Old Wang Gao Yiyang received a blow of understanding. They had sworn at the beginning, but after so many days, there was no spark between Huangfu Yixiu and Xie Cheng.

Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "When did it happen?"

"Ah!" Gao Yiyang changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "Brother Ji, we are talking about you now, don't try to change the subject and confuse the public!"

As expected, Old Wang was used to cooperating with Gao Yiyang, so he immediately chimed in: "Do you dare to say that Zhao Lan didn't have your reason for crying!"

Ji Fuyun paused, although he did account for half of the reason, but...

After such a meal, Pharaoh and Gao Yiyang already showed the expressions of "I understand", and let out a long "oh" in their mouths.

Even Xie Cheng's eyes circled around Ji Fuyun several times.

Before Ji Fuyun had time to declare his sexual orientation again, he heard Ye Feisheng's laughter.

Ye Feisheng and Huangfu Yixiu came here by wading through the snow.

Xie Cheng's eyes flashed: "These two people don't come to visit if they have nothing to do. I'm afraid something big will happen."
