Chen Haobei escaped from prison, and he must have planned to take revenge on me.
So Ye Feng had to keep these women by his side, and he didn't want to see bloodshed in the village during the New Year. After hearing Jiang Yuxin's proposal, he nodded in agreement, and then went out to borrow a few dog-skin cloaks and hats to wear into the mountains.
Wei Qingxuan naturally would not wear clothes that had been worn by others, but she had been prepared and got a set of winter outdoor equipment such as a self-heating vest and a windbreaker from the trunk.
"This thing of yours is useless. Although these clothes look ugly, they can really keep out the cold!" Looking at these things, Ye Feng curled his lips.
The deep mountains in winter are more dangerous than usual. The biggest danger faced by people entering the mountains is not the wild beasts in the mountains, but the severe cold.
These outdoor equipments may be fine for wearing in the city, but they are useless when you go into the real mountains.
Not to mention, the heavy snow just stopped yesterday. Although the snow in the village is only half a foot thick, the snow in the mountains is probably more than a foot thick. Especially in the mountains, the wind is strong, the snow is surging, and the heavy snow piles up, forming snow pits more than one person high in some places. Once you fall in, even if you use all your strength, you may not be able to climb out.
"When I bought it, they said I could wear it even on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!"
Wei Qingxuan refused to believe it, shook his head vigorously, and then walked out first.
Having said that, Ye Feng was too lazy to persuade him any further. After all, in many things, people will learn their lessons only after they suffer losses.
When they were in the village, the group of people didn't feel anything. But once they walked into the mountains, especially to the entrance of the valley, although there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, the wind was like a knife. The skin exposed outside the clothes felt as if it would be cracked and bleeding immediately when it was blown lightly.
Jiang Yixue and Jiang Yuxin wrapped their clothes tightly and pulled down the brims of their dog-skin hats. Although they looked like walking big stupid bears, they were warm inside their clothes and did not feel cold at all.
But Wei Qingxuan is suffering.
When the mountain wind blew, even though her jacket was said to be able to withstand the cold, the cold air still penetrated into her belly along her neck. After a while, even her chest was cold, and she walked like two frozen lumps of ice. It was so uncomfortable.
Not only that, the white breath that came out of her mouth froze into white frost when it floated onto her eyebrows and eyelashes, making her almost look like a snowman.
But she was unwilling to admit that what Ye Feng said was the truth, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
But the more I stretched myself, the colder I felt. My calves began to shiver when I walked.
"Don't force yourself, just wear mine..."
Seeing that Wei Qingxuan would probably freeze to death if he didn't help, Ye Feng sighed helplessly, took off his cloak, and wrapped Wei Qingxuan in it.
Wei Qingxuan struggled to take it off, but the warmth she felt inside the cloak made her reluctant to take it off.
"Just listen to him. He knows this place better than us city people."
Seeing this, Jiang Yixue came over to help Wei Qingxuan put on her hat and said with a smile.
Wei Qingxuan's cheeks turned slightly red. She glared at Ye Feng, then carefully sniffed the collar of the cloak.
To her surprise, the cloak did not have any sour smell of men's sweat, but instead had a fresh scent of grass and trees, and that smell seemed to be quite to her liking.
There is really not much beautiful scenery to see in the mountains in winter, especially after a heavy snowfall.
Apart from snow, there is nothing but snow. If the snow were to cover the green pine trees, it would still be a little different. However, most of the mountains here are covered with oak trees. The leaves had fallen off long ago, and the mountains are bare, which looks very solemn.
Woo…
After walking for a while, Xiaobai suddenly stared ahead vigilantly and made a low humming sound.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Jiang Yuxin looked forward in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a red fox with red fur squatting in a snow pile in the distance. When it moved, its big fluffy tail swayed, making it look like a piece of burning charcoal.
This guy was not afraid of people when he heard the noise. He raised his pointed head and glanced at Ye Feng and the others. He showed no sign of leaving. Instead, he sniffed around on the snow.
"Such fine leather will definitely look great as a shawl!"
Wei Qingxuan couldn't help but admire, and then glanced at Ye Feng silently.
Although she was tempted, she knew that she did not have the ability to catch the fox.
Not only Wei Qingxuan, Jiang Yixue and Jiang Yuxin also looked at Ye Feng with some anticipation.
"Ladies, let's not think about it. There are very few wild animals like this in the mountains now. If we harm them again, our descendants won't be able to see them in the future. Let's go into the mountains this time to see the scenery, catch a few rabbits and pheasants, and if we're lucky, we can catch a wild boar and bring it back."
Ye Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, ruthlessly rejecting their pleading eyes.
Although Jiang Yixue and the others were a little disappointed, they also understood that what Ye Feng said made sense, so they had to give up their ideas.
"I didn't realize you have such a kind heart." Wei Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.
When in the capital, Ye Feng did things decisively and efficiently. She thought that this guy was a ruthless and ruthless person, but she didn't expect that he would show leniency to a fox.
"It's not that I have a heart of a bodhisattva, I just grew up in this place and I can't bear to destroy it." Ye Feng said calmly, turning his head to look at the vast mountains.
Yuanhu Village is not only his home, but also his roots. Even if a person travels thousands of miles away, he must not forget his roots, let alone harm his roots.
"Let's stop here and get something to eat before we continue into the mountains."
After letting the red fox go, Ye Feng led the group to walk forward for a distance and came to a frozen stream. Seeing that the place was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the mountain wind could not blow through, and Jiang Yixue and the others were a little tired, Ye Feng smiled and said.
"It's just like this in the mountains, nothing fun..."
After sitting down and rubbing her frozen face, Jiang Yuxin said with some disappointment.
She thought that this time when she went into the mountains, she would be able to see a beautiful girl fighting a tiger or a wolf, or at least a wild boar. But she didn't expect that after being in the mountains for so long, she only encountered a little fox, and Ye Feng stopped her from beating it.
"This is the outskirts of the forest, and wild animals don't move around here. If you go a little further in, you'll see more large animals."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "You guys sit down and rest for a while. I'll take Xiaobai to get some game."
