Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

With Daowu's help, it became much easier to cut down trees and process bark and grass.

In less than half a day, a top with a pure primitive tribal style was made. At the same time, several tree trunks as thick as arms and several vines appeared in front of Chenxi's cabin.

If local materials were used, these would be the best materials for making a bed. Thinking that he would be able to leave the ground tonight, Chen Xi felt that life was full of hope.

But what made him happier than this was that some small buds began to grow on his empty left arm. Although it did seem to cause physical discomfort, it was also a good sign that his arm had a chance of recovery.

Arrange the wooden sticks into a rectangle according to their length, drill holes and insert the bed legs into them.

Then he wrapped the rattan around in circles to make a bed. It sounded simple, but it took Chen Xi almost the entire afternoon.

It was more difficult than he had imagined to cut the bed legs into the right shape, and due to his lack of experience, the entire bed frame often fell apart when he was wrapping the vines around it.

Of course, there were a few times when I gave up my responsibilities in frustration, but I started over again in shame.

Finally, as the sun was about to set, an uneven trapezoidal bed was finally completed.

"I knocked, it's finally over."

Chen Xi lay down on it with a sense of relief and felt an unprecedented satisfaction.

"The cane is a bit thick here... it hurts my legs; that place feels a bit hollow... it doesn't feel secure; I need to get a pillow when I get a chance..."

"Hoo, ho, ho~"

As he was thinking, Chen Xi fell asleep on the bed. All this he had never experienced before had greatly consumed his curiosity and physical strength.

Although this bed is neither comfortable nor good-looking, it feels very safe to lie on it. After a while, Chen Xi logged off.

However, he is not the only intelligent creature in this forest.

"call--"

The playful cold wind passed over the fire, accurately locked onto Chen Xi's position, passed through his rough clothes, and carefully brushed every inch of his skin, causing Chen Xi, who was sleeping, to immediately get countless goose bumps and wake up trembling.

"Oh my god, brother, I'm exhausted today! I really can't play with you anymore."

With a pair of resentful eyes, Chen Xi pushed open the door of the room.

He knew that he would never be able to see her. When he was working during the day, he could always feel a pair of eyes following him, curiously observing his every move.

He knew it belonged to the Snow Girl, but the problem was that he couldn't lock onto the other person's position at all.

Things have really changed these days. It feels like anyone who comes here has a higher attainment in mystical arts than I do.

Chen Xi sighed helplessly and began to prepare to make a few traps.

I've learned a lot from wilderness survival classes before, and it's quite interesting. I was planning to do it tomorrow, but since she wants to watch it, I'll do it now.

It is still made of rattan, woven into two rings, one large and one small.

Break off the long palm leaf petioles and insert them around the large ring, then secure the tail with a small ring.

Make the whole thing look like a cone, then continue to poke a circle of leaves inside the cone to make it difficult for fish to swim out after swimming in.

Put it upstream of the river. If you are lucky, there may be one or two small fish in it tomorrow morning. Of course, there are also some canned food residues left by Chen Xi in it as bait.

To be on the safe side, Chen Xi set up three such traps in total, but whether the effort and reward would be proportional remains to be confirmed.

By the time I finished all this, the moon had already risen completely.

The food I brought with me is definitely not enough to last until the next rainstorm, so please help!

Praying like this, Chen Xi put down the can in his hand and said to the people around him:

"I'm going to bed! At least don't bother me tonight, okay? Humans need rest."

Regardless of whether the other party heard it or not, Chen Xi turned around and prepared to go back to his room.

"Wow--"

Hearing the sound of the iron box moving, Chen Xi turned around suddenly, but saw nothing, even the position of the iron can seemed to have not changed.

Feeling a little uneasy, Chen Xi couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Crack-!"

There was another sound that was even more intense than the previous one. Chen Xi turned around again, but there was still nothing there, except that the position of the iron box had moved a lot.

Look back once, move a little, but never take it away. It will move back to the original place, but it never stops.

"Why don't you wake me up tomorrow morning in your own way."

Having said this, Chen Xi thought for a moment and added:

"But please be gentle. I don't want to turn into a popsicle so early in the morning."

"Crack-!"

After the last sound, when Chen Xi turned around again, the iron box had disappeared.

"How about I give her a gift someday? It won't be as good as hers, but..."

"Just consider it a reward for being a good kid."

Push the door open and enter the house, and have a good night's sleep.

Early the next morning...

"Ah!"

Chen Xi climbed up from the bed trembling, smoothed the frost on his head, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I remember I told her to be gentle..."

Looking at the white frost gradually melting in his hands, Chen Xi couldn't help but wonder whether there was a big difference between the gentleness of the demons and that of humans.

"Make a fire, make a fire!"

From a common sense perspective, the current weather doesn't require us to consider the temperature at all, but now...

Chen Xi, who was sitting by the fire and thinking about today's plan, was suddenly interrupted by a gust of cold wind.

When he opened his eyes again, the fire in the basin was half destroyed again, but this time the flame ice seemed to be gentler and softer than last time, as if full of apology.

Gently breaking it off, Chen Xi smiled helplessly:

"It's beautiful, but giving the same gift a second time doesn't seem as meaningful."

It was originally just a simple joke, but the moment it came out, the flame ice in his hand suddenly began to melt.

The melted water fell to the ground drop by drop, like someone's tears falling. At the same time, the flame wrapped in ice did not disappear, but turned directly into a warm current flowing into Chen Xi's body.

"Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean it. I actually like your gift! I really do!"

This fairy lady who never shows up seems to have a personality that is a little too simple. She expresses her happiness and sadness directly, which even catches Chen Xi off guard.

"Let's go check out the traps! I won't mind the morning, thank you!"

A cool breeze blew from outside the door, gently brushing Chen Xi's cheek, as if expressing his expectations and the same apology.

"Let's go."

Chen Xi stretched out a hand. Although he never expected that the other person would really hold his hand, he still had a little fantasy.

"call--"

The breeze blew around his hands, as if urging him to set off quickly.

"Haha."

Although he felt a little regretful, Chen Xi quickly adjusted his expression and headed towards the river beach.

At the same time, I also silently decided in my heart that one day, I must take a good look at what the shy fairy lady looks like!

riverside

Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. Among the three traps, one was damaged, one did not catch any prey, and the other one... was a small fish less than a finger long, and the meat might not be as much as the bones.

Sitting dejectedly on the ground, this... the future is darker than I imagined.

However, besides Chen Xi, there was another person who saw all of this.

“Ha~~Ah~~!”

A melodious song came from the depths of the forest. Although the wind was cold, Chen Xi felt as if he was being gently embraced by someone.

Soon the power of the singing became apparent - large and small pieces of ice kept floating down from upstream. Chen Xi reached out and grabbed one, and there was actually a fish trapped inside!

It is still a little difficult for Chen Xi, who currently has only one hand, to grab an ice cube of this size, but this will not affect his high spirits at all!

"Oh my god, this is not Miss Magic! This must be the Snail Girl sent by God. How can she be so capable!"

Then he looked back at the fish he had caught.

"Nothing."

He cursed a few times, then quickly broke free from the idea that he was a loser. Chen Xi summoned Li Chi and Dao Wu to help with the salvage.

"Now I don't have to worry about food for a while."

Looking at the ice piled up like a small hill in front of him, Chen Xi felt a little embarrassed.

"No other work today! Let's make presents!"

Thanks to Miss Yu Mojing's curiosity and affection for him, Chen Xi was able to survive in the forest and not starve to death.

After choosing a piece of good wood, Chen Xi held it with his feet, held the knife in his right hand and began to carve.

His left hand has only recovered one-third of its upper arm, and all it can do is shake it up and down in a funny way, but his current life still makes him full of expectations for the future.

Perhaps it was the fact that he finally had a humanoid companion who could accompany him for a long time that gave Chen Xi a special kind of anticipation. Although she never showed up, her presence was everywhere in his life, and this feeling of companionship still made him feel satisfied.

The sun gradually withdrew its afterglow, but Chen Xi was still carving hard. On the one hand, carving became quite difficult without the help of his left hand. On the other hand, having accepted the other party's help, Chen Xi did not want to end it hastily.

For this purpose, he even moved a fire outside the cabin so that he could chat with her while cooking or tidying up things.

Although he never received a real response from the other party, the wind would tell him the answer.

Now the only step left for the entire wood sculpture is to carve a delicate face for her.

Chen Xi really couldn't imagine what she would look like, but in the end he followed his inner thoughts and carved an innocent and lovely girl's face.

Although it was a little inconsistent with her body, the snow girl's personality still made Chen Xi feel that this was a cute baby!

Smiling, Chen Xi placed the finished product in front of him and turned his back.

"A gift for you, thank you for your help these days."

A trace of snowflakes appeared behind him, and seemed to linger for a long time, but Chen Xi still resisted the urge to turn back and waited silently, until...

"Thank you, I like it very much."

The voice was cold yet a little touching. Chen Xi could no longer control himself and turned around to take a good look at this demon lady, but...

Apart from the snowflakes gradually disappearing before his eyes, only the touch of her slender fingers across her lips reminded him that she had really been there.

He touched his lips blankly and chuckled:

"It's me. I should thank you."
