You don’t need to boil water to skin a wolf, because all you need is the fur on the skin.
After the water was warmed up, Xia Zhaoyi watched Shen Lie wash his hands before getting up and dragging the wolf corpses deeper into the jungle.
Kang Jian followed subconsciously: "Miss Ali, I'll help..."
"Don't follow." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Skinning is a very cruel process, and Xia Zhaoyi himself is extremely uncomfortable with it. With others present, this feeling will be even stronger.
Hanging the wolf carcasses upside down on the thick branches one by one, Xia Zhaoyi took out his dagger, paused, and raised his hand to cut them off.
There are many howling wild beasts in the snowy fields, and they frequently come out at night, deep in the mountains and forests, far and near, one after another.
At the same time, there are a lot of miserable wailings, and there is hunting going on everywhere. This is a real world where the jungle is strong.
After completely removing several pieces of wolf skin, Xia Zhaoyi turned around and came out. In the increasingly heavy wind and snow, a tall, tall and lean figure stood outside the intersection.
The firelight in the distance was dim, except for the outer robe, under the black clothes with waist and sleeves, his broad shoulders and narrow waist were clearly visible.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shen Lie turned around.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him with empty hands.
Shen Lie leaned over and lifted up the small wooden basket beside his long legs: "I just made it, it's quite strong."
Xia Zhaoyi went over to pick it up without saying a word, and found that there was also a small cover, which was not very round, with some concavities and convexities, but the shape of the wooden branches on the outside could be seen to be circled with great force.
It's weird...cute.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It's hard for you, I'll go and pretend first."
"Um."
After the girl left and then returned, Shen Lie stepped forward and picked up the heavy wooden basket.
"Very few people come here," Xia Zhaoyi said casually. "The last time Zhi Changle and I were here, we were attacked by wolves, but we didn't have much murderous intention at that time. After repelling them, we walked overnight Already."
"We have also encountered wolves several times, and they are very ferocious."
"Then we have to be more fierce," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "They have strength, sharp claws, and teeth, but we have more destructive weapons."
"When you build roads, you will avoid the mountains and fields where these wild beasts are frequent." Shen Lie asked.
Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "Yes, but many wild beasts will not care if they are so hungry."
The two walked back while chatting. Kang Jian had prepared warm water, steamed fish and wild fruit soup.
After eating, wash your face and rinse your mouth. Finally, you can rest and recharge yourself for tomorrow's journey.
The bedding was prepared by Zhai Jinsheng. Several very thin silk quilts were spread out on the soft grass behind the leeward slope. The exhausted Xia Zhaoyi fell into a deep sleep not long after.
Shen Lie, who was talking to her, didn't hear the sound and turned to look at her. The girl was breathing very lightly. With each breath, the body under the robe rose and fell slightly, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Shen Lie stood up quietly and covered her with his robe.
Xia Zhaoyi moved slightly and whispered in a drowsy voice: "Thank you."
"...You're welcome." Shen Lie replied seriously.
"You're welcome." The girl murmured, her sleepy voice still had a lovely crisp milky air.
"..."
Shen Lie has never shown such extreme tenderness before, and his black eyes are like gentle water waves that want to melt the frost and snow in the world.
Thinking that a smart and calm person like her has never shown such "silliness", the smile on the corners of her serious lips became brighter and brighter, and the deepest feelings hidden in her heart turned into a romantic and free spring breeze, in this harsh winter frost The light spirit is flying in the cold.
Resisting the urge to kiss her on the lips, Shen Lie lay back, paused, turned to the left, and turned his back to her.
