Chapter 159: Comfort
It had been snowing for a long time and finally stopped. Aling and Xiaozhu went to Yi Xiaorou's place early in the morning to have fun. Seeing that the weather was good, they were about to run to the edge of the forest far away to play.
There were several plates of porridge and side dishes and a plate of chocolate snacks on the table. Aling and Xiaozhu attacked the porridge and white steamed buns, and the plate of chocolate was exclusive to Yi Xiaorou.
She was not used to those cooked foods, and only chocolate suited her appetite, so chocolate became her staple food.
She also particularly likes this kind of sweet and slightly bitter gadget, which feels particularly delicious.
Aling was tearing up the white steamed buns in his hand while discussing with Yi Xiaorou and Xiaoji, "What do you want to do later? It is said that there is a poisonous snake at the edge of the forest and it is very beautiful. Why don't we go and kill it?"
How about catching the snake?"
Yi Xiaorou just remained silent and looked at Nalan Xianzhen subconsciously, waiting for her reaction.
Aling followed Yi Xiaorou's gaze and saw Xiaoji staring at Yi Xiaorou in a daze, "Xiaoji, what do you say, Xiaoji~Xiaoji?" He raised his hand and waved it in front of her.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Nalan Xianzhen suddenly came back to his senses.
"Why are you so absent-minded and still staring at Xiaorou? She has no opinion and wants to see your opinion, but you still have no idea like her? You have always been the most troublesome."
"Huh? I'm absent-minded. Where can I be? When it comes to having fun, just do whatever you want." Xiaoji waved his hands and glanced at Aling with disdain.
"What's that look in your eyes!"
"The look in your eyes that despises you, hum! I despise the stupid Aring!" Nalan Xianzhen turned his head and curled his lips at Yi Xiaorou, "Xiaorou, don't you think so?"
During the fight, the three of them had already approached the edge of the forest, but after all, they didn't really provoke snakes or anything like that as Aling said. The weather was just right today, and naturally there were a lot of birds flying around.
They chose an open space and cleared away the snow, then sprinkled the grain that the birds loved to eat on the ground, then set up a trap, held the rope that pulled the trap, and quietly hid aside. According to Xiaozhu, this is called grain keeping.
Waiting for birds.
Normally, Aring and Xiaozhu would handle matters involving traps and catching birds. Yi Xiaorou could only stay aside and watch them catch birds, and naturally today was no exception.
She stood behind the two of them, quietly watching a bird flapping its wings in the distance, then stopping on the ground and walking step by step toward the trap. She was also extremely nervous, and her heart was pounding as the bird walked further and further away.
When you are in a trap, your heart beats faster.
She sat on the ground, covering her chest with a pale face.
Something's wrong!
Her heart was beating faster and faster, and she always felt like something was happening that frightened her.
The shuddering coldness went straight to her bones, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She plopped down in the snow, and no matter how thick the cotton clothes were, she couldn't stop the chill emanating from her bones. She curled up and shrank her whole body into a
He was in a ball, and even if he rubbed his body hard, he couldn't stop the deep chill, and his body was shaking like chaff.
This feeling is so familiar...
It's...it's him.
What to do, he is here...
It's him who's coming...
"Oh Xiaorou, what did you do to scare the bird away? You... what happened to you?" Looking at the bird that was only one step away from the trap but flew away because of the noise made by Yi Xiaorou sitting on the ground.
Xiaoniao, Xiaoji can't be said to be angry, but just when she turned around to complain, she saw Yi Xiaorou curled up into a ball, her face so pale that even her lips couldn't help but tremble, but when she looked up,
The sun is just right and the temperature is just right. This kind of weather shouldn't react that way.
"What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever?" Aling was worried and raised the back of his hand to look at Yi Xiaorou's forehead, but it was colder than the wind blowing in the winter.
"It's so cold..." He couldn't help but sigh.
"You idiot, she has Netherworld Ice and Natural Ice on her body." When Xiaozhu heard that, he was so angry that he slapped Aling on the back of the head.
"You..." He wanted to scold her, but when he saw Yi Xiaorou's appearance, he felt it was not the right time, and he couldn't bear to be angry with Xiaoji.
"But what's wrong with her? She seems to be very cold..." As A Ling said, as if she thought of something, she suddenly took off her cotton coat and put it on Yi Xiaorou.
He turned to Xiaozhu and ordered, "Go find Auntie first and I'll take her back."
Xiaoji was startled, her eyes fell on Aling's hand holding Yi Xiaorou, and his worried expression. She hesitated for a long time, and when Aling urged her, she shook her head and ran back on the way back.
.
"Why are you trembling all over? What's going on?" Aring muttered while helping Yi Xiaorou back to the original route step by step.
Waves of smoke were rising from the charcoal-burning furnace, and almost all the doors and windows around her were closed tightly. Even though she was covered with several quilts and holding a heater in her hand, Yi Xiaorou still couldn't stop trembling.
"Come on, drink the hot water quickly!" A Nian held a cup of hot water and handed it to Yi Xiaorou, then turned around and handed it to A Ling for him to feed her to drink.
"How's it going, Auntie?" Aring stared anxiously at Yi Xiaorou, who was still trembling.
"Where did you go and what did you do in the morning? How could she be like this?" It was okay if I didn't say it. When I said it, A Nian became angry and turned to stare at the two little devils who were standing there because of her words.
.
"No, it was just that we went hunting birds in the morning, and then, for some reason, she suddenly acted like this." Xiaozhu opened her mouth and replied.
"Yes, Auntie, we don't know how she could be like this."
"Catching birds?" A-Nian narrowed his eyes and looked them both up and down, "Where to catch them?"
She knew that children naturally love to play, but they didn't come out other times. Why did it become like this this time?
"No, we are just at the edge of the forest and have not left the forest, right, Aling?" Xiaozhu turned to ask Aling.
Aling nodded, "Yes."
A Nian looked at them carefully. They would definitely not dare to hide this situation. Her eyes suddenly fell on the wind chimes hanging by the window. The wind chimes that had never made any sound suddenly suddenly "ding ding ding" without sound.
The wind started to pick up, and she frowned secretly, feeling uneasy in her heart.
"I understand, just leave her to me. You can go out first," A Nian said.
"But..." Nalan Xianzhen and Zi Ling seemed to want to say something more, but when they saw her slightly warning look, they could only reluctantly leave and closed the door behind them.
As soon as they left, Ah Nian quickly sat beside Yi Xiaorou's bed and said nervously, "Is it...he's here?"
Yi Xiaorou just curled up in a corner, buried her head deeply in her knees, and said nothing.
"It's really him?" A Nian exclaimed.
"Wait... how could it be, how did he know this place, and how did he get in?" Anian tried to calm his thoughts, trying to calm down, "You... don't worry, I will handle this matter.
I will take care of it..."
She kept repeating this sentence, as if she could give herself confidence by repeating it.
