Chapter 313 I hope the days like this can go by more slowly
It was a very cold winter and the snow fell heavier and heavier. After several days of snow, a thick layer of snow accumulated in the yard.
The small trees were also covered with heavy snow balls, and their branches hung low. When the biting cold wind blew, the branches swayed gently, and fine snow powder was sprinkled, which was very beautiful.
Si He originally wanted to build a snowman in the yard, but Ning Ji was afraid that she would be cold, so he asked her to sit aside and watch.
He held the snow in his hands and piled it up bit by bit. Although he was wearing leather gloves, his face was a little red from the wind, but he seemed unaware of it and occasionally looked at her with a smile on his face.
The weather was so cold that the breath he exhaled turned into white mist.
In the white snow, he carefully built a snowman for her, as if he would satisfy her and work hard for her no matter what she wanted to do.
Snowflakes were still falling, and the white snowflakes landed on his head and shoulders, and even on his eyelashes. The cold wind blew from time to time, like a wounding knife.
In this situation, Si He's heart trembled, and suddenly she didn't want to make a snowman anymore.
She stood up, walked out of the eaves and stepped into the snow.
As she stepped on the snow, her feet made a crunching sound, leaving a row of shallow footprints on the snow.
She walked over to Ning Ji, squatted down, and reached out to brush away the snowflakes on his head and shoulders. "Let's go back to the house. It's cold."
He looked at her and smiled, "I'm almost done. Go inside and sit down first, don't freeze."
Seeing him like this, she had no choice but to say, "I'll help you."
Ning Ji wanted to stop her, but she said, "I want to play too."
Seeing her say that, he had no choice but to let her play for a while.
When my palms touched the snow through the thin gloves, the chill penetrated deeply and it was really cold.
But she still stretched out her hand and built the snowman bit by bit.
Soon, two snowmen were built, one slightly bigger and one slightly smaller, representing Ning Ji and her.
Although the snowman is a bit ugly, it has a good meaning.
She turned her head and looked at Ning Ji's upturned mouth, obviously in a good mood.
However, the wind was strong in the yard, so Ning Ji took Si He back to the house first and took off her gloves. Her hands were a little red from the cold.
"You've been playing for so long, your hands are frozen." As he said this, he rubbed her hands and took her to the stove to warm up.
"Then just warm my hands." She looked at him with a smile, her voice sweet.
He chuckled and then warmed her hands carefully.
Sitting by the fireplace, they looked up and saw a pair of snowmen outside the window, one tall, one short, symmetrical and harmonious. The snowmen's arms were replaced by branches, and their eyes were decorated with pebbles. Although the work was crude, it added a touch of warmth and elegance to the courtyard.
The winter was extremely cold, and the entire town was covered in ice and snow. Most of the people in the town hid in their houses.
Ning Ji and Si He also began to hibernate during the winter. However, he was worried that she would be bored in the house, so he would occasionally take her out for a walk, or go to the ditch to knock on the ice and catch fish.
The days are plain and beautiful.
When the last chill of winter quietly recedes, warm spring arrives and all things come back to life.
The snowman in the yard disappeared, and buds began to sprout on the branches of the small tree, slowly growing tender green leaves.
The entire town and the nearby mountains and forests began to be full of vitality, with gurgling rivers and lush greenery in the mountains and forests.
Momo also woke up and crawled out of the cave.
It's good that someone feeds it. As soon as it wakes up, it eats its fill.
Ning Ji's health has improved a lot after several months of slow recuperation, but the damage to his physical foundation is difficult to recover to the same state as before. This is already the best result.
Si He is in good condition and does not need to take spiritual essence for the time being.
After the weather warmed up a lot, the two packed their bags and set off again to look for the Dragon Spirit Flower in the heart of Tianshan Mountain.
The Tianshan Mountains are so vast, Si He thought, there is always a glimmer of hope.
In the warmer spring, many people go into the mountains, most of them are hunting, and a few are looking for medicine. They usually travel in groups of three or four, so it is quite common for people like Si He and Ning Ji to travel like this, and it is not strange in the eyes of outsiders.
The only strange thing is that the two had no intention of hunting the small animals they encountered along the way. At most, they would hunt a small animal and roast it when they wanted to eat.
Ning Ji did not pick the common medicinal herbs in the forest and did not look down on them. Only when he came across some precious medicinal herbs would he stop and pick them.
The two of them traveled all the way to the heart of the mountains. Apart from occasionally encountering some ferocious wild beasts along the way, there was no other danger.
They walked and stopped along the way, and only slowed down when they reached the depths of the forest. Like before, they stopped nearby, searched carefully, and then continued searching in the next place.
Since returning to the forest, Momo has become a little excited and runs around outside all day long. It seems that he was too restrained in the small town before.
Ning Ji and Si He didn't pay any attention to it. It was not an ordinary little snake. It was very smart. If it was in danger, it would find a way to crawl back.
However, it is inappropriate to describe it as a small snake now. It is really not small now. Ordinary small animals are scared and turn around when they see it.
Time flies in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, it is summer and then autumn.
Getting nothing is the norm.
During these days, both of them hid their disappointment deep in their hearts. Apart from looking for the Dragon Spirit Flower, they were more focused on living a lighter life.
She picked flowers in spring, played in the water in summer, and picked fruits in autumn. Ning Ji tried his best to cook different kinds of food for her.
Both of them hope that days like this can go slower and slower.
But after the fall, Si He began to need to take spiritual essence, which was a sign of beginning to fall asleep.
This time she was awake for a relatively long time, a year.
When she started taking the spiritual essence, her journey to find medicine ended.
After taking the spiritual essence, she could still hold on for some time, so the two of them went to Dayan Kingdom first to inquire about the news from Liu Mao.
The result was as expected. Tianyuan Trading Company has not received any Dragon Spirit Flowers so far.
Disappointed.
The two then returned to Beisha Kingdom, but after returning to Wumeng Town, Ning Ji hired someone to build a house on the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains.
It’s not that living in a small town is bad, but Momo is a little older now, and it feels uncomfortable if I always confine it to the yard.
The house was built on the edge of the forest outside Tianshan Mountain, not too far from the town, and Momo could move in and out of the forest freely, and it was also quieter here.
Money makes things easier. With a large sum of money, a group of people quickly built the house and planted a plum tree in the yard.
At this time, Si He had taken the spiritual essence for the third time. It had reached the limit of her body's tolerance and she was becoming increasingly sleepy.
In late autumn, she began to fall asleep again. It was a pity that she could not accompany him to watch the snow scene this year.
Momo also crawled into the cave and began to hibernate.
