The resting place was an inconspicuous cave,
Most of the entrance was covered by a pile of snow,
They couldn't see the situation inside clearly,
The surrounding terrain was flat, so they couldn't feel any cold wind.
Tie Chuanjia parked the carriage on a flat ground about ten meters outside the cave and instructed the old and young people in the carriage not to get out of the carriage for the time being,
He rolled up his sleeves and pushed away the snow at the entrance,
He held a torch and entered the dark cave.
Li Yue opened the curtain a little,
She quietly observed her surroundings through this gap. She watched as the light in the cave gradually dimmed,
Suddenly, without any warning, it went out.
Then the roar of a wild beast came from the depths of the cave,
After a few loud noises, the fire lit up the cave again,
Tie Chuanjia walked out with a torch in his hand.
"Little Miss,
Doctor,
I've already cleaned up inside. You can get out of the carriage. "
Without waiting for Tie Chuanjia to reach out his hand,
Li Yue was the first to jump out. She walked around Tie Chuanjia to make sure that she didn't see any wounds on his body before she was relieved.
Li Yue had just stood at the entrance of the cave when she smelled a strong stench unique to wild beasts,
But now was not the time to be picky,
She pinched her nose,
She didn't say anything.
Tie Chuanjia was worthy of his identity as a golden nanny. He took out some herbs from the carriage, lit them, and sprinkled them inside the cave along the way. The unpleasant smell instantly subsided by a lot.
The cave was not very complicated, and the road under their feet was dry gravel. When Li Yue and the old doctor entered the interior together, the two of them gasped in unison.
There was no other reason. There was a huge black bear lying in the cave, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
Li Yue didn't need to think to know that this black bear was definitely the original owner of the cave.
Black bears usually hibernate until March or April before waking up. In modern times, they were hunted by humans and had become endangered and protected animals.
This one must have encountered Tie Chuanjia while it was half asleep. Not only did it not win against the two-legged beast to defend its territory, it was also easily taken away by the other party. It was simply tragic.
Looking at the crescent-shaped white fur on the black bear's chest, Li Yue couldn't help but feel an itch in her hands. She glanced at Tie Chuanjia, and when she got his nod of approval, she ran all the way to the black bear's side. She rubbed her hands vigorously, and the warm, furry feeling spread from her hands to her whole body.
If it wasn't for the strong smell of the black bear, Li Yue would have buried her face in the black bear's fur. But after touching it for a while, her face suddenly turned pale.
"Uncle Tie, this … this bear is still alive!?"
"It's not dead, it just fainted. We're just staying here for one night. Moreover, this time we left in a hurry, so we didn't bring all the knives. Killing it would be too troublesome. Bear meat is rough and hard, so it's not easy to handle. The carriage also can't fit it.
But Little Miss, don't worry. Wild beasts are very clever. Even if it wakes up, it won't have the guts to hurt us. "
"That's not the problem … Uncle Tie … you … I …"
"Little Miss, what else do you want to ask?
I see that Little Miss seems to like this black bear's fur very much. How about this, when we set off tomorrow morning, I'll take the black bear's fur and take it away. It won't take too much time to just take the fur. "
"… Forget it, Uncle Tie. I'll just touch it. It's not easy for it to live."
Li Yue finally dispelled Tie Chuanjia's idea of skinning the black bear and taking its gall bladder. The two of them cleared out the surrounding hay and cleared out an empty space. They also picked up some dry firewood from the cave and piled it together to keep warm.
The bonfire burned their legs and made them sleepy. The old doctor was old, so his body swayed as he hugged the medicine box. He leaned against the stone wall and fell asleep.
Li Yue originally wanted to keep watch with Tie Chuanjia, but after a while, she couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing the little girl's eyelids repeatedly closing and opening, Tie Chuanjia piled up the hay in the cave to make a space. He took off his coat and laid it on the hay, coaxing the little girl to sleep.
Lying on the makeshift bed, Li Yue's blurry vision was only left with the crackling of the bonfire and the mountain-like figure beside it. As she closed her eyes, she secretly made up her mind.
No matter what happened in the future, she wouldn't let Tie Chuanjia be alone.
When Li Yue woke up in the morning, Tie Chuanjia was still keeping watch near the extinguished bonfire. She was just about to yawn when she suddenly noticed that the black bear on the ground seemed to be moving.
Li Yue's hand, which was originally covering her mouth, froze in mid-air. After a moment, she repeatedly rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. The black bear was indeed awake.
The little girl's actions naturally attracted the attention of the bearded man. The man's first reaction was to look up at the black bear. The ferocious beast that was slowly moving its body on the ground was far more agile than its size suggested. It actually stopped all of its movements the moment the man made his move.
Looking at the black bear that was pretending to be dead on the ground, and the grievance in its beady eyes, the little girl burst out laughing.
The snowstorm outside the cave had unknowingly stopped. Because Tie Chuanjia had been guarding the entrance all night, the entrance wasn't covered in snow like before. Li Yue rubbed her hands as she walked out of the cave, only to see a vast expanse of silvery white between the sky and the earth.
Tie Chuanjia originally planned to hunt some game with the old man and the little girl. However, the outskirts were too cold, and they would return to Shuo Province City in a few hours. Li Yue and the old doctor didn't agree with Tie Chuanjia going hunting, so they didn't plan to eat a sumptuous breakfast. They just casually ate some dry food to fill their stomachs.
When they left, they were filled with anxiety. Li Yue always felt that the journey was too long, so when they returned, she didn't feel any pressure. She even had the leisure to joke with Tie Chuanjia, but the old doctor, who was planning to catch up on sleep, glared at her.
The old man and the little girl fooled around like this, filling the carriage with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere. Even Tie Chuanjia's face revealed a rare smile.
When the carriage arrived at Shuo Province City, it was already late in the morning.
The Lantern Festival temple fair was still in progress. Most of the people in the city were gathered there, so there weren't many pedestrians on the road.
Tie Chuanjia drove the carriage to the old doctor's clinic and stopped in front of it. He helped the old doctor put the medicine box on the table and paid the old doctor extra for the consultation. The old doctor didn't refuse and went to the backyard with his little disciple.
After confirming that the old doctor went to rest and that the clinic wasn't going to open today, Tie Chuanjia returned home with Li Yue. The two people bumped into Li Xunhuan.
After living together for so long, Li Yue already knew that Li Xunhuan was a handicap. However, she didn't expect that without Tie Chuanjia by his side, Li Xunhuan couldn't even put on his clothes properly.
Not to mention the underwear, the inner garment was carelessly worn on Li Xunhuan's body. The belt of the outer garment was also tied in the wrong place. Even the belt looked loose, as if it would fall off at any time.
In a sense, the person who came in third could also be considered to have a slender waist and a slender figure. Fortunately, he had this appearance and temperament. If an ordinary person were to dress up like this, they would sooner or later be beaten by the aunties on the streets with rolling pins.
Li Yue wanted to laugh, especially when Tanhua Lang looked at her with a blank face. She even wanted to whistle, but when she thought of the name that was like a curse, she stopped all thoughts of teasing.
Tie Chuanjia skillfully went forward to tidy up Li Xunhuan's clothes. Li Yue sat on the wooden chair and rested her chin on her hand as she pondered. She only came back to her senses after the man who came in third a few times.
The neatly dressed Li Xunhuan walked in front of Li Yue. He knew that Hoodlum was Li Yue's new friend, so he simply asked about the illness of Hoodlum's relatives and whether they encountered anything else after leaving the city.
When Li Yue replied that Hoodlum's mother was suffering from a heart disease and that the illness had entered her lungs and was incurable, Li Xunhuan seemed to have thought of something and his expression became rather gloomy.
She went forward and hugged Li Xunhuan's waist. Li Yue's voice was incomparably clear.
"Uncle Li, even if it's for your own sake, please take care of your body."
Tanhua Lang didn't answer directly. Almost when Li Yue thought that he wouldn't answer, Li Xunhuan responded to Li Yue with a voice that was so soft that it couldn't be heard. He then gently patted the little girl's head.
Li Yue didn't tell Li Xunhuan about what Bai Feifei said. The Blue Dragon Society was already enough for Tanhua Lang to worry about. However, in Li Yue's heart, Shi Guanyin was far more terrifying than the Blue Dragon Society. This woman was an unscrupulous devil who played with everything.
If Li Xunhuan provoked Shi Guanyin because of her, then Tanhua Lang's woman who was far away in the Central Plains would definitely be implicated.
Similarly, the engraved jade pendant that Bai Feifei gave to Li Yue was also not pawned by Li Yue. Instead, she kept it close to her body so that it wouldn't be lost.
Based on the size of the jade pendant, it was indeed very valuable. However, to some people, it was a priceless treasure.
Li Yue wasn't short on money at the moment. If there was a day, the jade pendant could be used to prove Hoodlum's identity.
After the Spring Lantern Festival holiday, Li Yue continued her life of studying at the Elementary School as usual. On the days off, she would come out again to continue promoting the Long Dragon's industrial transformation. She would supervise the local ruffians to make soap and do publicity.
When the first batch of soap was completely saponified and carved into various shapes, Li Yue was discussing sales with the gang's younger brothers. Unexpectedly, she saw a young man dressed all alone at the entrance of the main hall.
Both of them hated nonsense and preferred action, so Li Yue directly dragged the boy to the restaurant next door. Relying on her cute face, she bought a can of goat's milk from the back kitchen of the restaurant. Then, she gave the milk and the fox cub to Tie Chuanjia.
Thus, a rather strange scene appeared in the restaurant. In the middle of the scene was a fierce-looking Bearded Man who was eight feet tall. He was holding a fox cub in one hand and feeding it goat's milk with the other. His expression was calm and his technique was skillful and experienced. He was comparable to a professional nanny in a big family who had been taking care of children for 30 years.
The onlookers were stunned. When they thought of the fierce appearance of the man protecting Li Xunhuan near the restaurant, they silently lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.
On the other side of the table, Li Xunhuan was always satisfied as long as there was wine in the restaurant. He didn't care what Li Yue and Tie Chuanjia were doing.
The fox cub was finally properly settled, but the boy refused to accept Li Yue's money. Unable to persuade him, Li Yue could only think of other ways.
The girl's gaze passed through the restaurant, moved from the snow on the street to the passers-by, and finally stopped at the icicles on the eaves. She suddenly clapped her hands and smiled at the boy:
"Since Ice Snow is so hateful, do you want to take revenge?"
