However, Wang Dali and others encountered tigers on the outskirts of the mountain forest. The heavy snow had not stopped, and the villagers became more and more frightened. They were afraid that the wild beasts in the mountains would go crazy with hunger and rush down the mountain to look for food and hurt people. Even if there were Xiaohua and local dogs. There was no way to reassure them, so the patrol team began to patrol every night in the freezing cold.

Its no wonder that the villagers are worried. The snow has reached up to their knees. It is indeed difficult for animals in the mountains, whether they are birds or beasts, to find food. Many birds had landed on the wall of Mo's courtyard before, waiting for an opportunity to steal the food of the roosters in the backyard.

Mo Yan has met them several times and couldn't bear to see the little guys shivering in the wind and snow. When feeding the chickens, he deliberately scattered some corn kernels or grains on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Those clever little guys probably understood Mo Yan's kindness many times. Every time she came to the backyard, they would flap their wings and hover above her head, making bursts of joyful cries.

Not long after, there were many more birds flying to the courtyard wall waiting to be fed. When the wind and snow were heavy, they would even fly to the eaves to take shelter. The cries of some birds are very pleasing to the ear, but their behavior of defecating everywhere also gives Mo Yan a headache.

After the three local dogs said hello to Mo Yan, they gathered around the brazier to warm themselves up. Seeing that the fire in the brazier was not strong enough, a local dog cleverly took out a few charcoal sticks from the sack and put them in.

As soon as the charcoal met the heat, sparks exploded. Two native dogs were unable to avoid it, and the sparks splashed onto their fur. There was a "squeak" sound, and a burning smell arose.

The other local dogs were not surprised when they came to Mo's house. Their bodies were more or less burned by sparks, but they couldn't resist the warmth of the brazier. Every time they came back from the outside with the cold air, they were always happy to seize the best spot. Fire place.

Perhaps they had eaten prey on the mountain. After the food was served, the three beasts and the local dogs continued to take a nap by the fire pot, instead of circling around the dining table as before. Seeing this, Mo Yan only served the family's noodles and ignored them.

The noodles are cooked with chicken soup that has been simmered for a day. They are particularly fragrant. After boiling, mushrooms, vegetables and shredded pork are added. The smell is very appetizing.

Mo Yan held the pot helmet in one hand and dipped it into the noodle soup, and held chopsticks in the other hand to pick up the noodles from time to time. Her whole body felt warm as she ate. The others also immersed themselves in eating, but Xin'er frowned slightly, biting slowly and unable to swallow.

Seeing this, Mo Yan asked with worry: "Xin'er, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

When the others heard this, they all raised their heads and looked at Xiner with concern.

Xin'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled reluctantly: "Sister, I don't feel well at all. I just ate too much at lunch and I'm not hungry yet."

As soon as Mo Yan heard this, she knew that she was not telling the truth. It's just that everyone has their own little secret. Xin'er doesn't want to tell it, and she can't force her to tell the truth.

Its cold now and the nights are long, so its better to eat more to stay warm so as not to get hungry again at night.

Hey, I know. Xin'er agreed quickly, picked up the bowl and drank several mouthfuls of noodle soup.

Li Yan on the side looked at Xiner several times while holding the bowl, and opened her mouth hesitantly, but ultimately said nothing. But when she and Xin'er were clearing away the dishes after dinner, she still couldn't hold it back. She leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Xin'er, are you worried about Tang Xin?"

Xin'er was a little surprised. Seeing that there was no one else in the dining room, she nodded and said with a frown: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, but her family can't afford the money to repay the usury money, and her stepmother doesn't treat her well. Tie I want to sell her. I heard that in order to sell her for more money, Tang Yushi will sell her to that dirty place. I, I am very worried about her. "
