Qi Feifei was skiing and Huo Sheng was running behind her.

Halfway through the journey, the weather changed, the wind became stronger and stronger, and it started snowing.

Qi Feifei had no choice but to put away her skis and walk with Huo Sheng.

The wind wrapped in snow particles blew on their faces like a knife. The two people had to slightly tilt their bodies, lower their heads, and walk forward against the wind.

Qi Feifei covered her mouth with a scarf and spoke in a muffled voice.

"You said that with such heavy snow, will the leopard hide?"

Huo Sheng, "It's hard to say. What if it gets cold and has no food, and goes into the village again?"

Huo Sheng looked at her and said with some concern, "How about we find a place to stay and wait until the weather is better before leaving? Qi Laoqi should be fine if he goes there."

Qi Feifei, "Although he drives the carriage fast, he hasn't arrived yet! Let's keep going! We can talk later when we can't walk anymore."

The two people walked through the mountains in the wind and snow.

Qi Laoqi and Daliu were not having a good time either. The snow was getting heavier and heavier. They were sitting in the car, unable to move, and it was getting even colder.

My arms and legs are stiff from the cold.

Every once in a while, get off the car and run for a while.

We arrived at the Kaoshan Brigade after dark.

Secretary Wang was also at Captain Yao's house, along with the militia company commander, two comrades from the armed forces department, and several militia backbones.

Everyone is waiting for Qi Laoqi.

Everyone knew how to shoot, but they didn’t understand the habits of the animals, and it was snowing heavily.

They are all guarding in the village, and they don’t know where to find the beast if they want to.

As soon as they saw Qi Laoqi coming, everyone felt that they had found their backbone.

Next, you will always know what to do.

Qi Laoqi greeted everyone.

Then, let's not worry.

"Captain Yao, now, has every household prepared torches?"

Captain Yao, "This is ready. I'll have everyone stay indoors. If any wild animals come, light torches to drive them away."

Qi Laoqi, "Those who can use guns should be divided into several groups and guard the houses at the entrances to the village. If any wild animals enter the village, they can better protect the villagers.

Captain Yao, "So, you mean to wait in the village? Can the beast enter the village?"

Qi Laoqi, “It’s snowing heavily now, and no one can tell whether it has food or will come back.

In this weather, it is not convenient for us to search in the mountains. The traces it left before are all covered by snow, making it difficult to find. "

Captain Yao was a little disappointed. When would this end?

But this is only temporary.

It would be best if we could go into the village and solve the problem right away.

He called his wife who was accompanying his daughter in the hut, "Mother, come out and cook some food for everyone. Brother Qi hasn't eaten yet, and everyone is almost hungry. Make more and let everyone eat more."

Fortunately, we killed the wild boar, otherwise if we didn’t invite people, it would not be good to eat only vegetarian food.

Yao's mother had a slight cold, but she still came out.

Yao Shuqin also came out to help.

I had some rice, sauerkraut vermicelli and dried potatoes in pork bone soup.

Heat up some cooked pork offal.

A big pot of rice and a big pot of vegetables, they were all eaten up.

Yao's mother was so distressed! If there was no leopard, these meat and vegetables would be enough for her family to eat for several days.

With so many people here, I don’t know how many days they will have to stay before they can leave.

Thinking about the meat in the lower house makes me feel sad.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they dispersed to the houses at the entrance of the village to prevent the leopard from entering the village.

The wind and snow grew stronger and stronger, and by the second half of the night the snow was half a foot deep.

Qi Laoqi had been traveling all day and guarding for half the night, so he was very sleepy. He lit a cigarette to refresh himself and asked Daliu to have one as well.

The villager family has fallen asleep.

Two fires flickered in the room.

Daliu, "Seventh Brother, why don't you take a nap first and I'll keep watch."

He wanted to take turns sleeping, he couldn't open his eyes anymore.

Qi Laoqi, "You are sleepy, take a nap first, I will call you later."

Daliu yawned loudly and stretched.

He put out the cigarette and fell asleep immediately.

Qi Laoqi covered Daliu with his fur coat and listened carefully to the noise outside the house.

Apart from the "woo, woo" sound made by the wind on the treetops, there was no other sound.

There was no movement until dawn.

Those who had held out all night came out to check the situation.

There were indeed no animal footprints.

The night finally passed, and everyone went to the captain's house for dinner, made up for sleep during the day, and continued at night.

Everyone was worried because the beast didn't come.

The snow was still falling, and it was even getting heavier.

---------

Qi Feifei and Huo Sheng walked in the wind and snow until it was almost dark. They found a sheltered place in the valley and dug two snow caves.

The two found the Ula grass based on the shape of the snow cover, dug through the snow, and cut two large bundles.

It is stuffed in a snow cave, just like a pig's nest.

Qi Feifei regretted coming out with Huo Sheng. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

The two men lit a fire not far from the snow cave and roasted the corn flour buns they had brought in the morning on the fire.

Snow flakes danced in the firelight.

Two men sat side by side on a log on one side of the fire.

Huo Sheng was turning over the steamed bun stuck on a stick.

"I heard that pheasants will stick their heads in the snow when it snows. Should we go look for them tomorrow?"

Qi Feifei, "I heard that's the case. Maybe if we're lucky, we'll pick it up on the road tomorrow."

Thinking about the sizzling, greasy roasted pheasant makes me even hungrier!

My stomach growled.

Qi Feifei pressed and rubbed her stomach with her hands.

Huo Sheng handed the hot steamed bread slices to Qi Feifei, "Take it first."

Then he took out a tin can of pork from the backpack, cut open the lid with a knife, cut out a piece of shredded meat, and smeared it on the steamed bread.

He took the steamed bread slice, put it on the fire with the meat facing up and roasted it. When it was hot, he handed it to Qi Feifei.

With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Eat it. It's delicious."

Qi Feifei was quite satisfied that her living standard did not drop too much.

Holding the wooden stick in one hand and holding the steamed bread slice with the other hand, you take a bite and it is crispy, burnt, and has a strong aroma of pork.

"Delicious, so delicious."

Qi Feifei said vaguely.

Then he took another big bite.

When Huo Sheng looked at it, he felt warm in his heart and happiness was flowing.

Qi Feifei saw him looking at her, "Huo Sheng, I didn't realize you're quite good at eating, not bad"

Give him a thumbs up.

"You eat too, eat quickly! Aren't you hungry?"

Huo Sheng smiled and roasted the steamed bread slices while placing the military kettle next to the fire.

Flip it from time to time.

After Qi Feifei finished her portion, she handed her the water and said, "Drink some water to moisten your skin."

Then spread another piece of steamed bread.

Qi Feifei ate three steamed buns in one go and a can of pork went into her stomach.

Completely full.

Huo Sheng then toasted some steamed bread for himself.

There were two cans of food in the backpack, which he planned to save for Qi Feifei.

It’s snowing heavily, I don’t know how I can catch prey!

After Huo Sheng finished eating, the two of them went into two adjacent snow caves.
