Chapter 192 Shoveling Snow
Chapter 192 Shoveling Snow
The little boy was held in Mu Qingqing's arms, his face turned red with shyness, and he was at a loss with the spatula in his hand.
"Yuer said that the dishes I cook are more delicious..."
Mu Qingqing touched Langqi's head affectionately. This kind of intimate contact was something Langqi had never experienced before. It made him feel very strange and uncomfortable, so he shrank his body and turned into a little wolf cub.
The beast-like Langqi was obviously relieved. Compared with the human form, the beast form made him feel more comfortable.
Mu Qingqing felt helpless as she watched his tail swinging back and forth.
She might be able to guess what Langqi was thinking.
The beast form is like a mask for Langqi. Only when he hides behind the mask does he feel safe.
In addition, Mu Qingqing always liked to hold him in beast form and stroke him non-stop, so deep down he felt that he was only popular when he was in beast form, but not necessarily in human form.
To put it bluntly, it's a lack of security.
After petting the little wolf cub for a while, Mu Qingqing added two more dishes and served them out.
At this time, Mo Xiao had finished his test paper.
Mu Qingqing took a quick look and found that everything was basically correct.
Glancing at Mo Xiao's smug look, Mu Qingqing sneered, "Don't be so proud. It's just some arithmetic problems. When the time comes, I'll see if you still have the ability to learn advanced mathematics."
The heavy snow started falling the night before the two returned and continued until the evening without stopping.
The snow was so deep that it went above the ankles and reached the calves.
In the dark night, the street lights in the tribe gradually lit up.
It was at this time that Lang Yi knocked on Mu Qingqing's door.
After he had dealt with the cold-weather issues in Wanshou City, he returned to the tribe and came here to have a bite to eat while it was still early.
He immediately saw the freshly baked meat buns in the kitchen, and without hesitation, he grabbed a bun and put it into the little monkey's hand.
The weather was cold, and the little monkey nestled obediently in Lang Yi's chest and couldn't be pulled away. Its face was full of dependence and attachment, which was very different from the timid look it had when it was adopted before.
Mu Qingqing was beaming with joy, but Lang Yi had a gloomy face and held his forehead with his hands helplessly.
He just wanted to take a kid out for some fun, but he didn't expect that he would become a dad.
Lang Yi picked up another meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth. The aroma of fresh meat made him squint his eyes.
"He took you to the North?"
Mu Qingqing was still making buns. There were many children at home, and they were all big eaters. They also loved the taste of buns.
She stuffed a large amount of meat filling into the dough and kept kneading it so that the dough could perfectly wrap the filling.
Hearing this, he responded without even looking up: "Well, how did you know?"
"Toraze told me that he came to look for you guys, but you weren't home."
"Did he say what he came to us for?"
Lang Yi looked around and said, "Looking for your Dan Lao Si."
Mu Qingqing paused and raised her head. Her cheeks were covered with flour, which made her look a little funny.
The little monkey nestled in Lang Yi's arms saw it and pointed at her and giggled happily.
Mu Qingqing wiped her face carelessly, but it became dirtier and dirtier.
"Any news?"
Lang Yi hesitated and said, "Maybe a little? He caught several poisonous snakes from the forest recently..."
As he spoke, Lang Yi showed a trace of disgust: "Then use silver needles to cut them open, take out the beast core and observe..."
Because of Hu Ze's heroic deeds, the beast pill was sometimes damaged, and the released poisonous gas would occasionally emerge from the room, poisoning the beast warriors at the door and knocking them out.
Dissection? Research?
Mu Qingqing's eyes lit up. Hu Ze was doing an experiment.
"He has been observing for a while, so he wants to take you back to study you."
Mu Qingqing raised her chin nonchalantly, "Look, on the sofa, Mo Xiao is sleeping with his head down on his head."
Lang Yi: “…”
Lang Yi took Dan Lao Si away and also packed some buns to take away.
Mu Qingqing was quite generous. She was bored at home and had plenty of time to cook.
But I didn’t expect that Mo Xiao would be so angry after waking up.
The handsome and charming face seemed to have turned into a puffer fish due to anger.
"Why did he take all my buns away?"
Mu Qingqing said calmly: "Those are not your buns, they are made for everyone."
Mo Xiao's face was gloomy, "No, that's mine."
Mu Qingqing crossed her legs and ate melon seeds. "Okay, okay, yours, yours. So what are you going to do?"
Since when did this snake become so protective of its food?
Mo Xiao pursed his lips slightly and walked out of the room without saying a word.
Seeing this, Mu Qingqing hurriedly got up and leaned against the window to look out. From the direction of their house, she could see the location of Lang Yi's house.
Mu Qingqing saw Mo Xiao go out the door, and then stood at the door of Lang Yi's house motionless.
Immediately afterwards, Lang Yi came out with the little monkey in his arms, and the two looked at each other in confusion.
Mu Qingqing saw Lang Yi open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
As a result, Mo Xiao transformed into a beast right in front of him without any warning!
Mu Qingqing was wondering what Mo Xiao was going to do.
Suddenly, with a "wow" sound, the little monkey in Lang Yi's arms let out a cry that was so earth-shattering that it made the worlds cry.
Mu Qingqing: “Hahaha.”
Lang Yi's face immediately darkened. He carefully covered the little monkey's eyes and glared fiercely at the black snake in front of him.
"What are you going to do!" he roared in a low voice.
The black owl hissed and was very indifferent.
"Give me back the meat buns Qingqing made."
Lang Yi: “…”
"Just say no, why are you scaring my little brat like this?"
He said unhappily.
Mo Xiao transformed into a human form, stood with his hands behind his back, and repeated the process again.
"Give me my stuff."
Lang Yi frantically comforted the little monkey, then turned and went into the house to get some buns. When he handed them to Mo Xiao, he did not forget to stuff one into the little monkey's arms.
Mo Xiao carried the buns home with satisfaction. Mu Qingqing laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back. She joked.
"How can I take back something I gave to someone else?"
Mo Xiao slowly opened the bag. The buns were almost cold, with only one or two still steaming. He picked up one and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes in satisfaction.
His reaction made Mu Qingqing, a chef, feel very accomplished, but Mo Xiao's behavior was still a bit unethical.
Mu Qingqing was thinking about making some more buns and sending them to Lang Yi tomorrow.
But I didn’t expect that the snow would be so deep the next day that it was above Mu Qingqing’s knees.
The snow fell day and night, fluttering down in large flakes, so incredibly heavy that it seemed like there was no end.
Mu Qingqing thought it was abnormal.
But the tribesmen said that this was a sign of the coming of winter.
They used to build houses on trees to avoid heavy snow. After the heavy snow, there would be two months of extremely cold weather. That was the most difficult time, as it was cold and there was nothing to eat.
Mu Qingqing looked at the knee-deep snow in front of her, then turned her gaze to the tribesmen who were working hard to shovel snow not far away.
This won't work. At this rate, we won't be able to shovel all the snow, and we'll be exhausted.
Near the entrance of the tribe, Mu Qingqing noticed that the group of orcs on the other side were also shoveling snow. They came out to shovel snow every few hours, but even so, they could not keep up with the speed.
So Mu Qingqing decisively took out several snowplows and generators from the space.
Mu Qingqing found a few trustworthy tribesmen and taught them how to use the snowplow. She couldn't preach as she didn't know how to do it herself, so she just followed the steps in the instruction manual.
The tribesmen were full of curiosity when they saw this huge machine. They learned quickly and were able to operate it in no time.
The tribesmen used snowplows to shovel the snow in the tribe into the woods, which was empty and uninhabited.
The tribesmen were actually very careful in their actions, but unexpectedly, they were still seen by the orcs on the other side.
