Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

Ding Yi and Feng Huacai left with their only two daggers and camouflaged the entrance to the valley. Bao Tianming and Jing Qiuyun stayed in the valley to dig potatoes.

In the inner world, strong winds are rarely felt.

Now, a fierce cold wind is blowing, blowing on the face, leaving a shallow mark if you are not careful, like a knife or sword, which can take your life.

Only one day and a dozen hours had passed since yesterday, and the sky was like a country road without street lights in the evening. Under the haze, there was an unspeakable horror.

It was even darker in the forest.

Ding Yi and Feng Huacai just went by their feelings.

When he returned with nothing, Ding Yi felt a chill on his face. He looked up and saw snowflakes falling.

"Snowing!"

"what's wrong?"

Feng Huacai, who was walking in front, did not hear the footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Ding Yi standing still.

"It's snowing!" Ding Yi repeated again, tilting his head back. Snowflakes fell on his curled eyelashes, turning into water and wetting his eyelids, giving him a look of broken beauty.

The pair of deep eyes under the eyelashes give people a sense of calmness. No matter where its owner is, he can still handle it with ease.

Standing alone, he is like a cloud floating high in the sky, free from all worries and untainted by dust.

Feng Huacai was stunned by what he saw.

Ding Yi lowered his eyes. Snowflakes fell densely, landed on his head, and quickly melted away.

"Let's go, go back."

The sky will be the same as when you leave and when you return, except that it gets darker day by day, casting a shadow over people's hearts.

The next day, the two went out as usual.

There isn't much time left for them.

The snow outside never stopped. The moment I walked out of the house, the cold wind mixed with fine snowflakes blew in my face, so cold that my brain suddenly became clear.

"Let's go dig up some potatoes while the snow isn't thick enough and the soil isn't completely frozen. We'll go out today and tomorrow, and probably won't go out again after that."

The tiny snowflakes were bigger and denser than yesterday. Even with the snow as a backdrop, the sky was getting darker day by day.

If this trend continues, the day after tomorrow, heavy snow will probably fall from the sky and the polar night will begin.

Walking out of the valley, Ding Yi looked back. The entrance to the valley seemed like a door, separating him from the outside world.

Turning my eyes to the right, I saw footprints on the snow that had not been covered in time.

Ding Yi's eyes lit up, and he pulled Feng Huacai, pointing at their footprints and said, "In this kind of weather, other animals have either already entered hibernation, making them hard to find and dangerous. But some, because they were not prepared, are still struggling to stockpile food after the season arrives."

"You mean..." Feng Huacai's eyes lit up, and Ding Yi nodded slightly to him.

That day, they wandered in the forest, staring at the ground covered with a thin layer of snow, trying to find hope in it.

The next day, which was also the last day, they still didn't find any clues and returned home with regret.

The snow on the ground was already half a foot thick. In the quiet forest, the sound of the snow breaking the dead branches was crackling.

He returned dejectedly. Outside the simple house, there were piles of firewood of various lengths. In the corner of the hall, there was a pile of nearly a thousand kilograms of potatoes.

When this temporary residence was first built, several people argued about why the living room was so large while the bedroom was only five or six square meters.

At the moment, it seems that big has big advantages.

At least it can be installed.

People don't feel constrained when staying inside.

On the first day of staying at home, a warm fire was lit in the living room. As the flames extended or retracted, bright light shone on the faces of the four people.

Through the cheerful flames, the expression was somewhat distorted.

Now they have excellent hands-on skills. They can build houses, make flint, dig the ground with branches, and even Ding Yi polished a stone pot with stones.

No water? Isn't it snowing?

There is no pollution in the inner world of the earth, not even a little dust. It can be drunk after melting.

Jing Qiuyun missed the broth for a long time. As she drank the warm soup, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

"Xiaoyan, I'm so happy."

Rubbing her head against Ding Yi's neck like a lazy cat, Jing Qiuyun half-closed her eyes and cried silently.

How does it feel when someone cares about you?

The feeling is just like what Jing Qiuyun feels now, having a best friend who never makes big promises and works silently. Jing Qiuyun feels that the warmth given by her best friend is too real. What should she do if she doesn't want to fall in love in the future?

Ding Yi brought back a stone at that time, and while others were chatting and gossiping, she was thinking about it alone, day after day.

When others finally noticed the stone, it had already been polished into the shape of a stone pot.

Doing a little bit every day, slowly polishing it, he finally made the first stone pot in the center of the earth.

If Ding Yi knew what Jing Qiuyun was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.

She just wanted to have a sip of hot water when the weather was cold, not because of friendship.

It seems that she doesn't have any friendship with her best friends.

Ding Yi, who is a little slow in emotions, seems a little disgusted with Jing Qiuyun who is crying. Why is she crying for no reason? Is she scared?

Impossible, there is no danger around.

With this stone pot, many things become much more convenient.

Here, Ding Yi and Jing Qiuyun were strolling around after dinner, still wandering in the valley.

At first I thought the valley was not big, but later I found a small hole covered by vines behind the valley. Through the hole, there was another small valley.

When it was discovered, the white ground was covered with heavy snow, and only then could we see the uniqueness of the cave entrance.

Bao Tianming jumped up and dug through the snow to look at the ground in the valley to see if there was anything delicious.

As a result, after digging for a long time, all I saw was dry and yellow grass on the ground.

People are prone to psychological problems if they stay in the same place for a long time, so Ding Yi and Jing Qiuyun put on sunglasses, walked through the cave, and came to the small valley hand in hand.

They don't stay in the house all the time. They need to spend at least one or two hours every day to collect firewood in the snow.

Many branches fell off because they could not withstand the pressure of the snow, and these became an important supply of firewood for the four people.

The snowflakes continued to fall for many days, and the bottom layer had already been frozen solid.

When you step on it, you can hear a constant creaking sound.

Ding Yi had a blank expression and a cold face, and let Jing Qiuyun hold her arm.

Even while walking, Jing Qiuyun fell into the snow from time to time and had to rely on Ding Yi to pull her out.

Jing Qiuyun was even more reluctant to let go.

When you walk to the edge of the small valley, you will see a huge puddle with no water in it. It may be that water gushed out from an underground river and washed out a puddle. The water receded and never came back for a long time, and the water in the puddle dried up.

When they found it, there was not much snow inside, and there were some sparse yellow grass poking through the snow.

Later the snow became thicker and covered everything.

This time, through the sunglasses, Ding Yi found something different.

Small flowers seemed to bloom in the puddles and on the snow. When the snowflakes fell, the small flowers were slowly covered.
