Chapter 867 The Lost Boss Bai
Chapter 867 The Lost Boss Bai
He took the frozen, dirty clothes from Lu Qingqing and hung them on the makeshift clothes rack.
Then he moved the clothes hanger next to the stove and slowly dried the frozen clothes.
Lu Qingqing sat on a small stool by the fire, poking the red-hot coals in the stove with a hook to make the fire burn even brighter.
Place your still-icy hands above the stove to slowly warm them up.
Once I felt a bit better, I picked up the milk tea from the small table next to me and sipped it slowly.
During this time, the white wolf cub smelled milk and ran over.
Seeing that it couldn't get any goat milk, it paced anxiously around its legs.
Lu Qingqing was annoyed by its whimpering, so she took its bowl and put half a bowl of goat milk in it.
When the white wolf cub saw the goat's milk, it immediately buried its head in it.
With its little bottom sticking out, it diligently licked the goat milk in the basin.
Actually, the white wolf cubs should have been weaned long ago.
However, this little guy, just like dumplings, has a particular fondness for goat milk.
Nowadays, goat milk is more like an after-meal drink.
The white wolf cub eats raw meat with Dumplings every day, and after meals he pesters Lu Qingqing for a bowl of goat milk.
The goat milk for today was actually finished this morning.
However, this little guy had Lu Qingqing figured out.
Every time she acts cute, she can get half a bowl of milk.
After receiving the goat's milk, it will, as always, lick it diligently with great effort.
Before long, they licked the bowl clean.
"Dumplings, come here and take this away!"
After shouting, Dumpling slowly stood up from behind the two of them.
It came over and licked the goat milk off the white wolf cub's mouth, then took it away.
Judging from his leisurely demeanor, he's clearly gotten used to it.
Lu Qingqing strongly suspected that the two little ones were conspiring to trick her out of her goat milk.
Qin Lang added some more firewood to the stove, and the flames were briefly suppressed, but they quickly flared up again and burned even more fiercely.
Seeing that Lu Qingqing's toes were red from the cold, he brought over a small stool and placed it next to the stove.
He directed her to put her feet on the stool and stand close to the stove.
My feet, which were originally cold, slowly warmed up after being warmed for a while.
Lu Qingqing used her mind to look outside the space. Seeing that no one was coming, she continued to drink her milk tea in peace.
This is really a great life!
Outside, Bai Song was leading his men, chasing rabbits with great effort!
They didn't have the tools that hunters used; their best weapon was a bow and arrow.
But not everyone knows how to use a bow and arrow.
And because they had a limited number of arrows, they used them very sparingly.
This led to the famous scene of a rabbit running ahead while a group of people chased after it.
The once quiet mountain forest became lively because of the sudden intrusion of about a hundred people.
More than a dozen teams were scattered throughout this large area of mountains and forests.
Wherever it goes, chickens and rabbits are thrown into turmoil.
By this time, Bai Song's team had already killed four rabbits and two pheasants.
Thinking of Lu Qingqing's archery skills, which allowed her to hit exactly where she pointed, Bai Song guessed that they had shot down at least seven or eight birds.
He immediately encouraged the officers and soldiers in the team.
“We brothers can’t lose to those two kids. Let’s go, let’s walk a little further and see what’s going on.”
As he spoke, he strode forward through the knee-deep snow.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang in the space had warmed up.
When people move from a freezing, snowy environment to a comfortable and pleasant one, they inevitably feel sleepy.
Looking at the time, there was still about half an hour left.
After estimating the time it would take to climb the mountain, the two decided to lie down on the bed and take a nap.
When Lu Qingqing woke up, she checked the time and realized it wasn't late yet.
At this moment, Qin Lang brought over the dried clothes.
While she was getting dressed, he went to the rabbit pen and shot four fat male rabbits.
The rabbits kept in this space aren't very noticeable when viewed individually.
But when you put them together, you realize that even among the same breed of rabbit, there is a significant difference between domesticated and wild rabbits.
The domesticated ones are heavy in your hands, at least a third heavier than the wild ones.
A comfortable environment easily breeds lard; this applies to all carbon-based organisms.
However, Lu Qingqing was not worried that Bai Song would discover anything.
Rabbits, just like people, can be fat or thin, which is perfectly normal.
Arranging these four rabbits in a row with the pheasants and rabbits we caught earlier, it looks quite impressive.
I'll take it back and give it to Bai Song later; I doubt he can say anything about it.
After packing everything up, the two of them, wearing warm cotton-padded jackets and trousers, left the space with large backpacks on their backs.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the space was too great, and even though she was dressed very warmly, Lu Qingqing still felt a little cold.
I stretched my arms and legs while standing still, and then put a hot water bottle in my pocket before I felt a little better.
The two walked out of the path where they had been hiding and looked back.
There was no one on the mountain we came from.
I imagine they've already reached the mountain where we're supposed to meet.
Lu Qingqing checked the time and quickened her pace.
However, when the two arrived at the mountainside, they did not see Bai Song.
To be precise, none of the seven people in Bai Song's team returned.
The officers and soldiers waiting in the same spot were so anxious that they paced back and forth.
Upon seeing Lu Qingqing and her companion approach, someone anxiously stepped forward to inquire.
"Young Master Lu, did you run into Boss Bai and his men on the road?"
Lu Qingqing shook her head.
They deliberately chose a secluded path, so they couldn't possibly run into Bai Song and his group.
The soldier became even more anxious when he saw Lu Qingqing shake her head.
"Brother Lu, you know the mountain roads better than we do."
Boss Bai and the others didn't come. We brothers were all worried that something had happened to him, so we wanted to go and look for him.
By the way, we've searched both paths up this mountain, but we haven't seen anyone!
"Do you think there are any other places around here?"
Lu Qingqing stood on the high platform next to her and looked down.
After looking around and thinking about the route Bai Song had chosen, they suggested searching that area.
In fact, what Lu Qingqing said was only a general direction.
But the soldiers were unfamiliar with the situation in the mountains, so they readily agreed.
The group searched while calling out to people in a controlled voice.
After all, they still remembered what Lu Qingqing had said before: making a big commotion might get them buried by the snow on the mountain.
This large group of people was divided into teams according to the previous plan.
They dispersed in the direction Lu Qingqing had indicated and conducted a thorough search of every alleyway.
At this moment, they were still in the same spot where they had separated not long before.
Because many people have stepped on it, the footprints on the ground are messy and disorderly.
Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang chose a side path and searched while trying to guess what Bai Song and the others might encounter.
None of the seven people returned, so it's not impossible that they encountered the same snow cave as before.
Furthermore, since there are snow caves on this mountain, there may also be other traps.
With this in mind, the two became even more cautious in their actions.
