Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Cough cough cough...cough cough cough"

When Shi Yan heard Zhang Heng's question while drinking soup, she suddenly thought of what she had done yesterday and choked on the soup.

"Drink slowly, no one is competing with you for it."

Su Heng looked at Shi Yan's guilty face and suddenly remembered that he was thrown onto the kang by the person in front of him yesterday. He found it funny.

"That's the room I live in. Maybe the kang was built in a hurry and people slept on it before it dried. Now it's frozen and cracked when the weather gets cold."

Su Heng added it casually.

"Oh, then you can't repair your kang this winter. The soil outside is frozen and there's no way to fix it for you."

"But in winter, it's good for two people to sleep together. It's warm."

Zhang Heng didn't notice anything strange between the two of them. He had a smile on his face, and a hint of envy in his eyes.

After all, although there were many people at the educated youth site, the houses were dilapidated and drafty. Even if some people squeezed in, it would not be as comfortable as Shi Yan and her two companions spending the winter in the same room.

After being reminded by Zhang Heng, Shi Yan suddenly realized that she would have to live with Su Heng for the next period of time.

She used to untie the bandage on her chest and relax every night before going to bed, but now it is very difficult for her to relax if she lives in the same room with Su Heng.

Logically speaking, there is actually an empty room in the house, which is where my mother used to live.

But when Su Heng moved in, Shi Yan said that the house should be left empty as a reminder, and later she set up a mourning hall in it.

Now Shi Yan is completely digging a hole for herself and has no way out.

"It's indeed quite warm, huh~" Shi Yan said helplessly.

"By the way, although our group of educated youth just went to the countryside this year, the team leader also allowed us to go home to visit our relatives. Everyone else wants to go back, but I don't think it's troublesome and I won't go back."

"I thought it would be too lonely to be alone during the New Year, so I wanted to come and live with Xiaolei. I can cook and Xiaolei can just provide the seasoning. How do you think?"

Zhang Heng looked very flattering and put one arm on Shi Yan's shoulder, and the two of them were particularly close.

Su Heng, who had been eating noodles silently, felt more and more annoyed the more he looked at Zhang Heng for some reason, so he quickly spoke up.

"What do you look like with your arms around each other? Can't you see Xiaolei is still eating noodles?"

"I don't plan to go home for the New Year this year. If you are willing to come, I can provide the ingredients and Xiaolei will provide the venue and seasonings."

Although Su Heng disliked Zhang Heng, his cooking skills were indeed not good, and it was not convenient to ask the members for help during the New Year. He could accept Zhang Heng's volunteering.

The two of them talked it over and finally finalized it, and Shi Yan had nothing to lose, so she had no choice but to agree.

Suddenly the atmosphere among the three of them became particularly harmonious. After Shi Yan and Su Heng had eaten their fill, the three of them went up the mountain to collect firewood, carrying baskets on their backs.

...............

Back mountain;

It has neither rained nor snowed recently, so the air in the back mountain is dry and cold.

Shi Yan had just picked up half a basket of dead branches when her face was dry and sore from the mountain breeze.

Shi Yan slowed down her pace, rubbed her hands and prepared to cover her face, but she felt a heavy weight on her head. When she raised her eyes, she met Su Heng's concerned gaze.

"I knew you'd feel cold."

As Su Heng said this, he wrapped the cashmere scarf he had tied around his neck around Shi Yan's neck, covering the lower half of her face tightly.

"Come on, you're still too thin. You need to take good care of yourself during the New Year when you don't have to work."

The two of them were extremely close, and Shi Yan inevitably met Su Heng's gaze.

His expression was serious, but his gaze was exceptionally gentle. Coupled with his already handsome appearance, Shi Yan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

If her face wasn't covered tightly by the scarf, people would definitely see her red cheeks.

"Thank you, Brother Heng."

Shi Yan's voice sounded a little muffled through the cashmere scarf, and the way she lowered her eyes made Su Heng feel inexplicably soft in his heart.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two of them, and soon affected Zhang Heng who was concentrating on looking for dead branches.

Zhang Heng, who hadn't heard any footsteps behind him for a while, stopped in confusion.

Looking back, I saw a tall man and a short man standing opposite each other.

"What are you guys standing there for?"

Zhang Heng's question immediately woke up the two people who were in an ambiguous atmosphere.

Shi Yan was stimulated by the sudden question and subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from. When she met Zhang Heng's puzzled eyes, her mind immediately became clear.

What was she doing just now?

It's really a disaster for men to be handsome!

But he is a gay now, what is Su Heng doing by being so sticky?

Thinking of this, Yan couldn't help but shudder and quickly took a step back. But then she was worried that her reaction was too abrupt, so she turned on tiptoe and walked towards Zhang Heng.

"The wind is too strong and it hurts my face. Let's go quickly and collect firewood so we can get down the mountain earlier."

The dead leaves made a "crunching" sound when Shi Yan stepped on them. In order to show her eagerness, Shi Yan put her arm around Zhang Heng's shoulder when she passed by him and took Zhang Heng to the outside of the mountain together.

"It's really windy. It's whistling and sounds creepy."

Zhang Heng smiled and followed Shi Yan inside.

Listening to the whistling wind, Zhang Heng looked around the forest with curiosity in his eyes.

He had not been in the countryside for long. During this time he had been adapting to working in the fields and collecting firewood in the mountains, and he did not dare to go to Taili.

At this moment, Shi Yan and Su Heng were there. When they entered the mountains, they couldn't hide their curiosity.

So when Shi Yan was still wondering whether Su Hengheng had any special hobbies, Zhang Heng was the first to notice the abnormality on the ground.

"Xiao Lei, Su Zhiqing, look, is this blood on the ground?"

Although the ground was covered with dead leaves, looking in the direction Zhang Heng pointed, one could still see some bloodstains on the ground.

If you follow the blood trail little by little, you can see blood splatters on the branches of trees deeper inside.

"What animal do you think left this behind?"

While Zhang Heng was talking, he kept walking forward, and Shi Yan quickly used her special ability to explore deeper into the woods, and immediately spotted a black shadow rushing towards Zhang Heng.

"Zhang Heng, be careful."

In a flash, in order to save people, Shi Yan had to use her special powers to knock Zhang Heng down before the black shadow.

Looking back, the true face of the black shadow was revealed.
