The little fox tilted his head and thought: I think it should be possible!

Xia Wanniang took out a broken bowl from the space, picked up a handful of noodles and put them in the bowl, and added some soup to it: "Try it, if it doesn't work, I'll change it for you."

The little fox narrowed its eyes into crescents and moved its nose towards the noodles in the bowl.

Xia Wanniang watched it take a bite, and didn't notice anything unusual about it, so she continued to eat the noodles in the bowl.

Xiao Chiye took the bowl to the snow to wash it, then came back and handed it to her to keep: "Find a place to sleep, I'll watch over you at night."

Xia Wanniang was indeed tired after walking all day. Her shoes and socks were soaked through. She took them off and put them next to the fire to warm them: "I'll take your place later."

Xiao Chiye shook his head: "No, I'm not tired."

Xia Wanniang didn't say anything. She took out a worn-out quilt from the space, put a layer of hay underneath it, and got into bed comfortably.

The little wide-eared fox was full and saw a warm place to sleep, so it ran to the quilt at Xia Wanniang's feet and curled up in a circle.

Xiao Chiye added a lot of firewood to the fire, leaned against the entrance of the cave, and watched her fall asleep, her breathing gradually becoming even.

With you around, days in the mountains seem as relaxing as a vacation.

Xia Wanniang turned over and faced him. Perhaps because she was close to the fire, her little face looked a little rosy.

Xiao Chiye himself didn't even notice that a warm smile appeared on the corner of his lips at this moment.

He looked towards the dark forest outside. There was no tenderness in his eyes anymore, only coldness and murderousness.

Three years ago, the Xiao family was destroyed overnight. He and his three children were poisoned. If they had not been saved by the wandering Doctor Hua by chance, they might have died that day.

My eldest brother's family, my second brother, and my youngest sister all died that night, and my mother had to take them away.

Until now, he still doesn't know who attacked his family and why.

Although he managed to save his life, his body was already broken and now he was just wasting time.

His mother didn't know that he was also poisoned. She was just worried that he would be lonely after she and her three children died, so she married him to such a wife.

He originally thought that he had a silly wife who would accompany him till the end of his life, but he did not expect that he had actually picked up a treasure.

He had never thought about investigating what happened back then. After all, they didn't have many years of good life left. Even if they found out, what would it matter? Could they still take revenge?

But now it’s different. She might be able to cure them, so he wants to avenge this grudge. He can’t let more than a hundred lives of the Xiao family be lost in vain.

"Crackling!" The sound of the dry firewood exploding due to the burning fire also brought him back to his thoughts.

Xia Wanniang slept for two hours. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Chiye sitting at the entrance of the cave, looking lonely.

She climbed out of bed, put on a coat, and walked towards him.

Xiao Chiye heard the noise and turned to look at her: "Why are you up?"

Xia Wanniang sat next to him and said, "I've had enough sleep. Go to sleep for a while. I'll call you when it's dawn."

"I don't need it." Xiao Chiye refused.

"No, you're more familiar with this forest than I am. If you don't stay healthy, we won't be able to deal with it if we encounter danger tomorrow." Xia Wanniang looked at the darkness outside, and the words she said turned into white mist.

Xiao Chiye pondered for a while, then stood up and walked towards the cave: "Don't go out, call me if there is any danger."

Xia Wanniang nodded.

Xiao Chiye slept in the same quilt she had just slept in. There was still her warmth and faint body fragrance in it, which made his face turn red all of a sudden.

He looked at her with her back to him, let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

There was a little wide-eared fox in Xia Wanniang's arms. This guy woke up after she woke up.

It didn't sleep on the bedding either, but climbed onto Xia Wanniang's legs and gave it a look: Put your hand on my belly, little fox, I will keep you warm.

Xia Wanniang didn't know why she understood its meaning, but she really did what it said.

The little fennec fox curled up and wrapped her hand in its fluffy fur.
