Mu Qing soon discovered that there was no way to hide things like pregnancy from him. The direct reason was that at night, he wanted to press her, but she wouldn't let him. After a few rounds, she had no choice but to whisper into his ear and tell him the news. Of course, she didn't forget to emphasize "it's just possible." But Li Mang probably only listened to the first half of what she said, and didn't hear the rest at all, or he automatically ignored it when he heard it. But after being stunned for a moment, his next move really shocked her. He suddenly used his hands to support the stone couch, turned over upside down, and pushed his head against the rock wall with his feet up. Then he raised his face and giggled at her.

He actually expressed his joy with such childlike behavior. This made Mu Qing both funny and angry. But this came from his pure joy that infected Mu Qing. Her heart was filled with happiness and fullness. He couldn't help but playfully put his hand under his armpit and gave it a tickle. Limang was ticklish, so he turned over and hugged her tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

His beard had just been shaved yesterday, and the stubble that came out made her feel painful and itchy. She couldn't help but laugh and dodge, but she couldn't escape him. Seeing that he was about to pin her down again, she hurriedly shouted to be careful. Child, he let her go, but he still refused to let go. Instead, he let her lie beside him and hugged her with one hand, while the other hand gently touched her belly.

The play between the two of them alarmed Xiao Hei who was dozing next to the fire wall. Xiao Hei suddenly popped his head out of the turtle shell and stared at it for a while, but then lazily retracted it. It is really not surprising that it has seen such scenes many times. Except for seeing the male owner performing a handstand, which was relatively new, the rest were too old-fashioned to attract his interest in taking a second look.

She knew she was indeed pregnant. Because from that day on, eating became a big problem for her. Not to mention eating, sometimes I feel nauseous even when I smell the smell of pickled fish meat or cooked wild mushroom soup. Dried fruits or dried wild vegetables are better. Seven or eight days passed like this, but the morning sickness did not improve at all. She knew this was a normal phenomenon in the early stages of pregnancy, so she wasn't too worried. After vomiting, she forced herself to eat as much as she could, hoping that she would get through this period. But Li Mang seemed very worried, and sometimes he asked her to comfort him.

Mu Qing not only has a poor appetite, but is also more afraid of the cold than some time ago. That day, I was sleeping in my tiger skin, when I suddenly felt a chill coming over my face. When I opened my eyes, I saw Li Mang opening the door curtain and coming in, followed by jumping Xiao Hei. Looking again, he actually had two fish in his hands.

Although the fish has been frozen stiff, you can tell it is fresh at a glance.

Mu Qing stared at the two fish in surprise. Unexpectedly, Li Mang went out early in the morning to get fresh fish.

Because the streams in their valley are relatively shallow, they have almost all been frozen, and there are no fish to catch. Unless he stepped through the thigh-deep snow to the big river about a kilometer away to break through the ice and grab it.

Mu Qing looked at his hair, brows, and whole body covered in snow that had not yet melted. His chest felt hot, but his words turned into soft complaints: "Why do you need to spend so much effort to catch two fish? The snow is so thick, what if..." The next words could not be said.

"I'm familiar with the terrain, it's okay. You can't eat pickled food, I want you to eat fresh food."

Li Mang said it simply and didn't look careless.

He quickly turned around and left. Xiao Hei also hurriedly followed.

Mu Qing knew he should be cooking fresh fish soup.

Ever since he found out she was pregnant, he had taken over the cooking duties, and after a few days, he seemed to be a master at it.

While he was squatting in front of the fire making fish soup, she couldn't help but come behind him, silently hugged his neck from behind, and pressed her face against his still cold neck.

He turned back to smile at her and pushed her in.

Mu Qingxian finally understood what it means to open your mouth when you have food and stretch out your hands when you have clothes.

She originally thought that her stomach would be repelled by the smell of fresh fish, so when he was making fish soup, he silently thought that he would eat it no matter what, and even if he wanted to vomit again, he would suppress it. That was his intention. Unexpectedly, when he brought it in and brought it to her, she saw a few pieces of green-brown dried vegetable tender hearts and slices of bacon floating on the white fish meat in the steaming milky-white soup served in a red pottery basin, and she felt a sensation in her mouth.

The fish under the ice in the severe winter is fatter and fatter than in summer and autumn, and the soup is fresh and salty. The beauty is that it does not taste fishy at all.

Mu Qing had such a big appetite that he ate a whole bowl of fish in one go. He drank not even a drop of the soup and finally burped. He raised his head and saw Li Mang looking at him and smiling, while Xiao Hei was squatting there with his mouth open and drooling, and then he felt a little embarrassed. It turns out that my poor appetite before was just a lie, but my craving for fresh food was real.

From then on, Li Mang would go out to catch fresh fish for her every few days. Sometimes if he was lucky, he would bring one or two small prey with him when he came back to look for food. If you can't finish the fresh meat, just put it outside. As long as it's not eaten by the little black guys, it will soon become frozen. Just take it in and defrost it when you want to eat it.

Mu Qing felt that he was working hard and felt a little sorry. After trying to stop him several times to no avail, he had no choice but to let him go. Only Xiao Hei was very enthusiastic about the male protagonist's actions. Because it also benefits from this, you can occasionally eat fresh and delicious meat.

Mu Qing never looks forward to the next spring. If spring comes, their food sources will be much richer, and Limang won't have to brave the cold to go out to satisfy his appetite.

Li Mang went out to catch fish again that day, and Xiao Hei, who loved to join in the fun, followed him. In fact, her morning sickness has improved a lot, and she won't vomit easily when eating other foods. But he probably wanted her to enjoy it, so he didn't stop.

Although her morning sickness was better, she was still a little sleepy and felt like dozing off. So now I am lying comfortably wrapped in warm tiger skin, thinking that Li Mang will probably come back. My eyelids were a little heavy, and I yawned. Just when I was about to fall asleep, I suddenly felt a slight shaking under my body.

The shaking was very brief, lasting only two or three seconds, before she realized it was the aftershock of the previous earthquake and it stopped. If it weren't for some dust falling from the ceiling, she would have thought she was hallucinating.

She turned over suddenly and sat up, subconsciously trying to run out. When she opened the door curtain and felt the biting cold, she was shocked to realize that if she went out like this, she would be frozen to death in a short while, so she hurriedly turned back to get the tiger skin. When her fingers touched the soft fur, she suddenly heard a strange noise.

She couldn't tell what the sound was. But it came from above her, getting closer and closer, bringing with it a frightening power.

The roof of the cave was shaken, and the sand began to fall again.

Before Mu Qing could react, he was pushed unsteadily by a force from behind and fell onto the couch. When she turned back, she was horrified to find that a large pile of snow had rushed behind her.

The snowdrift filled the entire outer cave, pushing down the wooden raft between the outer cave and the inner cave, and extending it into the inner cave. Mu Qing was choked by the snow dust and coughed non-stop. The torch that was burning in the gap in the cave wall suddenly went out.

Mu Qing fell into darkness.

The sound soon stopped. Everything was calm again.

Mu Qing suddenly understood what happened just now.

The slight aftershock from the ground was fleeting, but its power affected the accumulation of snow on the top of the mountain for a whole winter. They were unlucky, as the snowdrift on the top of their heads collapsed, burying the entrance to their cave.

At this moment, Mu Qing almost stopped breathing, and her heart was beating so fast that she could hear it.

After a brief period of unconsciousness, she immediately regained her consciousness, fumbled for the flashlight beside the stone table where she usually slept, and opened it with trembling hands. The sight before her made her again frightened.

The originally spacious inner cave was now occupied by nearly one-third of the area due to snow, making it appear much smaller. As for the outer cave, it was completely buried by snow.

She must get out, otherwise she will suffocate to death here when all the air is used up.

There were no tools in the inner cave that could be used to dig out snow. She stepped on the snowdrift up to her knees and clawed at the snow with both hands. But before long, the snow layer became so compact that she could not dig deep with her hands, and her hands were already so cold that they started to hurt.

She began to pant and had to gasp for air to feel comfortable.

She finally stopped digging in the snow. Because she thought of a very serious problem.

The cave is enclosed and has limited air. The more she moves, the more oxygen she will consume. Even if she dug out the snow that blocked the outer cave before running out of oxygen, the entrance to the cave would still be buried. She didn't know how deep the snow was buried outside, but judging from the force with which she rushed into the cave, there must be not a small amount of snow falling outside. Even if she reached the entrance of the cave, she would still suffocate to death. Besides, it would be impossible for her to dig out the snow for that long with her bare hands.

Her heart was beating wildly again, and she felt the coldness on her fingertips spreading throughout her body. The temperature in the cave is dropping sharply. Because the flashlight hadn't been charged in the sun for a long time, the light began to slowly fade.

She turned off the flashlight, wrapped the tiger skin tightly around her body, and slowly lay down.

Li Mang should have returned.

What she can do now is lie quietly to reduce oxygen consumption, prolong her life, and wait for Li Mang to dig in from the outside.

She closed her eyes and breathed slowly, letting her heartbeat slow down as if she had fallen into trance. Whenever she felt that she was about to be suffocated by the silence and boundless darkness around her, she would turn on her flashlight to illuminate it. The flashlight emits dim light like the sun, allowing her to gain confidence and courage again.

But the oxygen is still slowly decreasing.

I don’t know how long it took, but when the flashlight could no longer light up, she could no longer feel her limbs. But she still curled up, using her arms to protect her lower abdomen, hoping it would be warmer and warmer.

There is a life that belongs to her and Li Mang.

She felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. My eyelids were too heavy to open.

But she knew she couldn't sleep.

She bit the tip of her tongue tightly with her teeth, and the sharp pain made her mind seem to be clearer again.

But she couldn't hold it anymore.

Every breath is so difficult. She was like a fish out of water, opening her mouth helplessly in the dry pond, but she could not find the source of sweet life.

It was as if her eardrums were swollen, and she heard the sound of blood rushing through her ear walls.

She thought she couldn't hold it anymore.

Why hasn’t Limang come yet?

A warm and moist lick on her face woke her up. Vaguely, she seemed to hear Xiao Hei making a huffing sound.

She opened her eyes with force.

It's still dark.

But the constant licking and kissing on the cheek was so real. Then she felt something bite her clothes and drag her hard.

She reached out and touched a warm, furry body.

It’s Xiao Hei!

She struggled to get up from the ground, followed Xiao Hei's lead, and almost crawled forward.

Her face touched the cold snow wall, and her mind suddenly came to her senses.

She breathed air.

Cold, but fresh.

She opened her eyes wide, reached out and touched forward randomly, and found a small hole in the snow wall.

She stretched her head to the entrance of the hole, opened her mouth wide and breathed greedily. The pain in her lungs, which had been so painful, seemed to be comforted, and finally the pain slowly stopped.

Xiao Hei still kept cupping her chest, whining softly.

She hugged it to warm her body and put her face on its neck.

Li Mang must have been afraid that she would suffocate inside, so when digging out the snow, he asked Xiao Hei to use his sharp claws to dig a hole in first.

At this time she heard a call coming from the entrance of the cave. It was intermittent and not very clear, but she really heard it.

That was Li Mang's voice, full of anxiety.

She immediately put her head towards the hole, wanting to answer his call and let him know that she was still alive.

But her throat was so dry that she could not make a complete sound, leaving only a hoarse sound. Li Mang must not have heard it outside, because she heard him calling her name again, his voice anxious.

She hurriedly reached to the bedside, found the knife, cut off a strand of her hair, tied it into a knot, and then stuffed it into Xiao Hei's mouth.

She patted Xiao Hei's buttocks, and Xiao Hei yelled, immediately got into the hole she had made, and crawled out.

She wrapped herself in a tiger skin and sat next to a snowdrift.

When Li Mang sees the knotted hair in Xiao Hei's mouth, he will know that it is the message she sent to him. She is still alive.

The skin on Limang's feet was frozen tightly with the fur shoes, as hard as ice.

With almost tears in his eyes, Mu Qing put his feet and shoes into the turtle shell in warm water and soaked them. She finally helped him take off his shoes, then heated them over the fire while rubbing them with her hands, hoping to restore blood flow to them.

When he said that he finally felt her hands rubbing his feet, she excitedly leaned over and kissed him, then opened up her clothes, gathered them into her warm arms, and continued to cover them with her chest. Heat them.

He deserves ten times as much treatment from her.
