The Detective Conan's Luck-Changer: Ran Begs for Mercy at the Start

Izuki Qingtian replied.

"Mr. Yi, are you a natural strongman?"

Kazuha was dumbfounded.

The pine tree that Izuki Karuta dragged back was at least ten meters long and weighed at least several hundred kilograms.

"I dragged it down the slope, it didn't take much effort."

Izuki Karuta made up a random excuse.

Quickly collect dead branches from pine trees.

He broke off a large tree branch and used it as a shovel to clear away the snow on the ground.

Kazuha didn't know why Itsuki Karuta was doing this, but she followed suit, enduring the cold and helping with a tree branch.

The snow was constantly pushed aside, and the color of soil appeared a meter below.

"No wonder you slid down!"

He Ye suddenly realized.

It's snowing heavily now, and the temperature is extremely low.

If we don't light a fire, we'll definitely freeze to death here tonight.

A fire started on snow can easily be extinguished by the snowmelt.

It can only burn continuously on land.

Izuki Karuta also admired Kazuha to some extent.

Despite the freezing weather, wearing only a coat and shivering from the cold, he still thought of helping.

"There's another reason."

"However, let's build the house first."

Izuki Karuta collected snow blocks from the vicinity and filled the empty space above her head.

Soon, a simple igloo shaped like an inverted bowl was completed.

With the igloo blocking the cold wind, the temperature immediately warmed up considerably.

"Won't this roof collapse?"

Kazuha was a little worried.

If you want to build an igloo, you usually need to compact the snow first.

However, Izuki Karuta simply glued the snow blocks together in a crude way, which didn't feel very stable.

"Do not worry."

"There's one last step."

What Izuki Karuta wouldn't say is,

The roof didn't collapse; it was only held up by the evil energy below.

Izuki Karuta continued to use the large tree branch to walk to one side of the snow hut and push the snow near the ground to both sides.

Less than half a meter away, a block of solid ice appeared before my eyes.

Beneath the solid ice, the river flows.

"There's a river?"

"Mr. Yizhu, how did you find it?!"

Kazuha no longer knows how to describe it.

At first, she thought that Izuki Shigeta chose this place because it was closest to the ground and she could clear away the snow to start a fire.

But I didn't expect that this place would be so close to a river.

Kazuha was not only hungry, but also extremely thirsty.

Even right after Izuki Karuta left, Kazuha secretly ate some snow.

But I only dared to eat a little, afraid that my body temperature would drop too much and that I would be shivering from the cold.

"Because I heard the sound of flowing water."

Izuki Karuta gave a simple reply.

Using a heavy tree branch to break through the ice, Izuki Karita scooped up river water with both hands and splashed it onto the roof.

The water in the river was already extremely cold, and when it was splashed on the snow and then exposed to the cold wind, it froze directly into ice.

The roof suddenly felt much more secure, and the small holes that used to let in air were now filled with frozen ice.

Seeing this, Kazuha quickly followed suit.

In addition to the roof, the walls around the roof, which are made of loose snow blocks, should also be covered.

When the snow house was covered with a layer of solid ice and there was no risk of it collapsing.

Kazuha's hands had turned slightly purple from the cold.

"Thank you for your help."

Izuki Karita smiled and patted Kazuha's head.

"It's nothing."

"It's just a small favor."

When Kazuha's eyes met Izuki Shigeta's smile, she subconsciously lowered her head.

Izuki Karuta was already very handsome.

Kazuha had assumed that Itsuki Karuta would always maintain a calm and indifferent expression.

Unexpectedly, when he smiled just now, he became even more handsome, leaving Kazuha somewhat... at a loss.

Moreover, that smile wasn't polite or perfunctory; rather, it carried a hint of...care.

Subsequently, Izuki Karuta used the collected dry branches...

Using the oldest brick and wood fire-making techniques, they successfully started a fire.

After a fire starts, be sure to ensure proper ventilation.

Izuki Qingtian deliberately left a relatively long branch and poked two ventilation holes at an angle.

As the fire rose, the room finally felt a little warmer.

Izuki Karuta then used burning wood to burn the pine tree that had been dragged back earlier in half, breaking it into several large pieces, which he then piled up at the entrance of the snow house.

During the process, He Ye warmed himself by the fire while his stomach rumbled.

The wind and snow showed no sign of stopping, growing increasingly fierce, as if they were about to bury the two of them alive.

At noon,

The thick snow clouds made the sky even dimmer.

A thick layer of snow had already piled up on top of the snow house, burying the two of them once again.

But the difference is that now there are snow houses, firewood, and river water.

cuckoo-

Kazuha's stomach growled again.

But she never complained of being hungry; she was just hungry and somewhat listless.

Kazuha squatted on the ground, huddled in her oversized coat, staring blankly at the fire.

Izuki Karuta walked to the river outside the snow house and reached her hand into the broken ice hole.

A dozen seconds later, a large fish was caught by Izuki Karita...

A minute later, Izuki Karuta had caught four large fish.

"Are you hungry? Come and have some grilled fish."

Izuki Karuta patted Kazuha, who was still in a daze.

He threaded a fish through a twig and handed it to her.

"You...how did you..."

Kazuha glanced at the ice cave over there, then at the fish in her hand, and finally looked at Izuki Karuta, her eyes filled with shock.

"The fish mistook my hand for bait."

"Fish in glaciers that haven't taken the bait for too long are quite foolish."

Actually, the evil energy was used to stop the fish from swimming by.

Although she was a cultivator, Izuki Kageta could not go without food and drink and would still get hungry.

While drooling over the grilled fish, He Ye was...

Using a burning block of wood, Izuki Karuta burned a groove into another block of wood.
