The wind carried a slightly unpleasant smell, causing Xie Zimo to think of something else. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and moved the pot of porridge away from the fire. The rice stuck to the pot was almost black, leaving two bowls of porridge in the pot. Since it looked edible, Xie Zimo put it away. He carefully placed it in front of her, picked up the spoon, blew on it to cool it, and then tested the temperature before placing it next to her lips. Kui Xue opened her mouth and took a sip, and then, her expression was a little strange.
"I thought of Liuchuan, he cooked porridge for me too."
"I will be jealous if I think of him for no reason." Xie Zimo pretended to be angry, putting down the bowl and ignoring the sweet snow.
"The porridge cooked by Liuchuan is very salty, but the porridge you cook is bitter." Kui Xue laughed.
As expected, the porridge cooked by a man who had never cooked porridge before was extremely peculiar. While Liuchuan cooked with salt, Xie Zimo cooked with half the porridge. If these two were to stick together, they would probably starve to death.
"A bitter taste of good porridge." Xie Zimo couldn't help sneering back, "How about we cook another pot?"
"Don't waste it. Each of you can eat one bowl. You'll have energy after eating. Go and get some other game." As they were not sure how long they would live here, they tried not to waste anything edible. Just like that, the two of them savagely finished the bitter rice porridge.
Speaking of the Cliff, it seemed like he hadn't heard of it since he met it in the hunting grounds. Xie Zimo and Baili Qiangxue waited at the bottom of the cliff for a few days, but still didn't come back. Not only had the cliff never appeared, even the mountain had never appeared before. Xie Zimo and Baili Qiangxue had nowhere else to go, so they could only live a couple lives under the cliff.
After Baili Xueyi recovered from his illness, he handed over the matter of cooking porridge to her. Xie Zimo was like a hunter, hunting every day, sometimes fish, sometimes pheasants, and occasionally wild animals like leopards and cats. Fifty miles of snow dried the skin of the leopard cat to make a scarf around her neck. She and Xie Zimo each took one.
There were no bees at the bottom of the cliff, so every time she played with the leaves, she could not attract them.
They were truly cut off from the outside world. However, this wasn't a bad thing. At the very least, he didn't need to think about anything else and could live a normal life.
One afternoon, Xie Zimo came back with a fox. He wanted to roast it, but was stopped by Baili Xiang Xue. She recognized the fox. It was the fox they had first met when they had fallen to the bottom of the cliff. Baili Kui Xue took the fox from Xie Zimo's blade and hugged it to protect it. She even threatened Xie Zimo, if you dare to touch even a single strand of its fur, don't even think about touching her. Xie Zimo was helpless, but he could still compromise. Thus, the two of them started to raise foxes.
Fifty kilometers away, the fox was given the name Xiao Chi. Xie Zi Mo turned around and smiled. This name was really difficult to describe. After seeing Xie Zimo sneer at her, Kui Xue rolled her eyes at him. Then, ignoring him all day and not letting him sleep on the bed at night, she threw him a pillow and pointed to the floor. Xie Zimo shamelessly coaxed Kui Xue for an entire night, finally sneaking into bed after she fell asleep.
One day, the sweet snow woke up and found that Xiao Chi had disappeared. She suspiciously looked at Xie Zimo, thinking that Little Chi was in Xie Zimo's stomach. As a result, the two of them had quarreled for the entire morning.
Later, in order to prove his innocence, Xie Zimo searched around the cliff for an entire day. Finally, he saw Little Red in the cave behind the water curtain. He was lying on his side, and several foxes of similar color were drinking milk. Seeing this, Xie Zimo became excited, and he quickly ran back to the wooden house to find the 100 miles of fragrant snow.
"I found Little Red. It gave birth to a litter of foxes, and behind the water curtain …" Xie Zimo saw Baili Kui Xue excitedly talking, pointing towards the water curtain, he suddenly saw something in her arms. Baili Xiang Xue was gently caressing the scarlet red thing in her arms.
"Little Red is a male fox." Kui Xue had a helpless expression as she looked at Xie Zimo's cold expression. They had been together for so long, yet they still didn't know that Little Red was a male fox?
In the next moment, the little scarlet red light in Mo Xie's arms jumped down and ran in the direction that Xie Zimo was pointing.
"Hey, Little Chi, where are you going?" Baili Yu shouted, and the two of them chased after him, one in front and one behind.
Xiao Chi stopped beside the female fox that was feeding the milk and intimately rubbed his baby fox. It seemed to be conveying something to Mo Xie, and also seemed to be worrying that his wife and children would be hurt by Xie Zi Mo's evil hands.
"So it's Little Chi's wife and children." Xie Zimo reached out his hand to hook her up to him, and then pecked her on the cheek, "When are we going to have a nest too?"
"If you want a nest, then give birth to it yourself." Baili Xiang Xue rolled her eyes at Xie Zimo in disgust. She crouched down and gently picked up the four little foxes. She placed them in her bosom and led Little Red and the female fox back to the wooden house. Xie Zimo, who was being ignored, pouted as he followed behind them.
Two months went by in the blink of an eye, the first snow since winter began to fall in drifts. The water at the bottom of the cliff, though not frozen, was bone-chilling cold. Kui Xue stood in front of the door with Little Red in her arms, looking at the snow together. She was wearing a red dress and stood out on the snowy ground, looking extremely eye-catching.
Xie Zimo leaned against the wooden house and looked at the fragrant snow for a long time. Then, feeling bored, he walked over and hugged the sweet snow. Little Chi, who was in her embrace, tactfully jumped away and went somewhere else.
"Hugging Little Red all day, ignoring me."
"Then you and Little Chi's wife can depend on each other for life." After saying that, Baili Xiang Xue started laughing at herself.
"No, I want you. I don't want the female fox. Come, let your husband marry you." Xie Zimo pulled Baili Kui Xue into his arms and kissed her cheek, "The sky is so cold, shouldn't we do some exercise to warm our bodies?"
"Then go hunting."
"Do you remember the night you got drunk in Anduo?" Xie Zimo purposely lifted her flushed cheeks, "I think you were the most adorable at that time."
"Don't mention it!"
"You'll get wrinkles if you get angry that easily." "I want to remember everything that happened with you. When you get old and I don't remember, I'll read it to you every day."
"If you want to be old, you have to be old first." Baili Xueyi, her face blushing, lowered her head.
Xie Zimo was about to say something when he heard other sounds.
"What is that sound?" Baili Yu Xue was on guard for a moment, and the two of them looked towards the source of the voice.
Outside the fence, the mountains lay bloody and exhausted.
Kui Xue hurriedly went up to see what was going on. There were many knife wounds on the mountain, and in some places, sharp arrows were still sticking out. From the looks of it, he had escaped from a life-and-death battle. If that was the case, then the cliff that was with the mountain would not be much better.
Thinking of this, Xie Zimo was a little worried. Would the Cliff have been taken away by Lu Shaoheng or the people of Anduo during the Great Hunt?
"Xie Zimo, take a look at the mountain, I'll go gather some healing herbs." Baili Yu Xue stood up to look for the herbs, while Xie Zimo looked at the mountain with concern.
The fragrant snow within a hundred miles came back in a short while. The two of them treated the wounds on the mountain, and only finished treating them very late. After confirming that the mountain was safe, Kui Xue and Xie Zi Mo went back to rest in their wooden house.
After a few days, the mountain's injuries healed quickly under the meticulous care of the 100 miles of fragrant snow. However, the mountain was depressed and unhappy every day. Fifty miles of fragrant snow guessed that it was thinking about the cliff. However, it was not a human, and it could not speak, nor could it tell Baili Qiuxue what had happened. Everything could only be known after the mountain recovered and they left the mountain.
Three days later, the mountain was completely healed. It seemed to be very eager, wanting to bring Baili Kui Xue and Xie Zimo away from here, hoping that they would go and find the cliff.
Baili Yu Xue also felt that she should leave before the water froze, so she and Xie Zimo silently left the place. The two of them followed the mountain through the water curtain and arrived at the exit of the cave. The mountain dived into the water, revealing half of its body. It bowed its head, signaling Baili Kui, Kui Xue and Xie Zimo to come up. Just like the first time they went out, Kui Xue and Xie Zimo tightly held onto the iron chain around its neck, enduring the water pressure in the water for a long time before they finally broke out of the water.
"Shan Shan, you go back first. Wait for news of the cliff, I told her to find you." The sweet snow of the hundred miles patted the head of the mountain. The mountain seemed to be able to understand what Kui Xue meant, it turned around and dived into the water.
It was snowing outside, and they felt unusually cold as they were drenched in snow. Xie Zimo was worried that the sweet snow would catch cold again, so he carried her all the way to where there was smoke.
This place was quite a distance away from the capital, and Xie Zimo stayed at a fisherman's house for the night. The fisherman was quite cordial as well. He found two dry clothes for them to change into and went to prepare dinner. The two people in the room had changed clothes and looked like good-looking fishermen. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with the phrase "clothes alone".
"Dry your hair first, or you'll get sick." When Xie Zimo saw that the 100 li of fragrant snow hair was wet, he took a cloth and walked over to wipe it off for her.
"Your wife is so beautiful." said the fisherman when he called them out to dinner.
Kui Xue was in Xie Zimo's embrace before she could react. Xie Zimo proudly said, "My wife is the most beautiful in the world."
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Kui Xue shyly and angrily looked at Xie Zimo. "You're annoying."
"My wife, eat the fish."
"My wife, hubby will help you pack your food."
"My wife, have some soup."
The fisherman couldn't help but snicker when he saw Xie Zimo's meticulous actions. There was only the 100 miles long sweet snow that was about to lose its patience. Xie Zimo also continued to laugh evilly.
At night, Xie Zimo slept in the fisherman's guest room, holding a hundred miles of fragrant snow. The sleepless Xie Zi Mo naughtily woke her up. He teased her, "My wife, I'm so bored. Why don't you get up and chat with me?"
"…" Baili Xiang Xue didn't want to bother with him.
"My wife, stop pretending to be asleep."
"…" Kui Xue still ignored him.
"My wife, if you ignore me any longer, I'll …"
"You want to sleep on the floor?" Finally, Kui Xue couldn't take it anymore, and used her elbow to push Xie Zimo away.
"My wife, I have a headache." Xie Zimo retracted his arm that was wrapped around Mo Li's waist, "It hurts."
Fifty kilometers away, Kui Xue was a bit worried. She turned around and looked at Xie Zimo rubbing his temples.
"Let me see." As soon as Kui Xue's hand reached over, Xie Zimo pulled her over and hugged her tightly.
"It doesn't hurt now." Xie Zimo smiled in satisfaction. Smelling the nice scent on her body, he closed his eyes in relief.
"You! You go sleep on the floor! "
"I'm sick. You have to take care of me."
"You!"
"I love you."
"…"
