Chapter 528: Chapter 522: Finally Got to Eat Meat Chapter 528: Chapter 522: Finally Got to Eat Meat She was always a serious person, so seeing her act carefree for once was quite rare.
Gu Ning stood aside, letting her have her fun.
Several people had already emerged from the tent.
As soon as Li Jia and Lin Yile saw Tang Yuxin building a half-finished snowman, they felt their playful side awaken.
It wasn’t just the girls who felt smothered by the endless snowfall; the guys were feeling it too.
Finally, the weather had cleared up, and while they wouldn’t be going home right away, at least the snow had stopped.
This meant one step closer to home and, more critically, one step closer to surviving.
The outside was filled with laughter, while inside the tent, a small fire continued to burn.
Yuxin touched his face and couldn’t help but pull back the curtain.
He smiled widely, looking both naïve and dopey.
“Guang, did you see?
The snow stopped, the sun came out, and soon, the snow will melt.
We can go home soon.
We will be fine.
We will survive.”
What Yuxin didn’t know was that Liu Guang, who had been unconscious for a long time, had finally opened his eyes, breaking into a wide smile.
He too, felt hope.
Perhaps this truly was their lucky day.
The weather was clear, and although the snow had yet to melt, they could already feel a significant increase in warmth.
Despite the cold, their hearts were filled with warmth.
The clear day lasted all day, and their luck held out too.
Gu Ning had managed to catch a remarkably fat rabbit.
Tang Yuxin was curious, with the ground frozen solid with snow and not a blade of grass in sight.
What could this rabbit be feeding on to grow so plump?
Regardless of how it achieved its size, the rabbit was eventually turned into a soup and shared among the group.
The soup had no seasoning, just boiled with snow water.
It had a natural, meaty aroma, and while it lacked flavor, it was heavenly for the hungry group.
The natural taste of the meat was surprisingly good, and after going several days without tasting meat, their palates were craving it.
Even those who didn’t usually enjoy meat found themselves salivating at the smell of it.
And Tang Yuxin decided that when she got out of there, she’d eat meat every day.
Tang Yuxin savored a spoonful of the soup.
She still had some meat left in her bowl.
“Would you like some more?”
Gu Ning offered his bowl to her.
He hadn’t had any yet, but he seemed indifferent to the meat.
He left the bowl in front of her.
Yuxin takes Gu Ning’s bowl, but his eyes remained calm.
But a faint smile on his lips suggested he was content, warm like the sunlight that day.
Tang Yuxin tipped her wrist and poured the remaining chunks of meat into Gu Ning’s bowl.
She then held the bowl in front of him.
“Uncle Ning, help me finish this.
I’m too full.
Oh, and let me have a sip of the soup first.” She placed the bowl to her lips and took a big gulp.
She knew Gu Ning wouldn’t take advantage of her.
Since she had had some soup, there’d be no objection to him having the rest.
Ɲονǥօ.сᴑ
Gu Ning took the bowl and began eating his share of the meat in silence.
The rabbit was quite large, but there were eight of them, excluding Liu Guang, who was on a light diet.
So, each of them only got a small share of the rabbit.
But they had plenty of soup, as snow was free of charge.
“Uncle Ning, when we get back, I want to eat meat every day,” Tang Yuxin leaned onto Gu Ning.
They had been through several life-and-death experiences together, so they definitely weren’t strangers.
“Okay,” Gu Ning replied, swallowing another piece of meat.
The flavor had already soaked into the soup, and he was not one to fuss about his food.
However, in this harsh environment, he found himself craving meat.
“Uncle Ning will treat me.”
Tang Yuxin decided she needed a food sponsor.
She was quite poor.
Although her salary was high and the hospital provided board and lodging, she did not squander her earnings.
“Okay,” Gu Ning agreed readily.
“As long as we can get out of here, I’ll treat you to a month-long feast of meat.” With that, he placed his large hand on Tang Yuxin’s shoulder and patted it gently.
Tang Yuxin’s heart fluttered.
She lowered her head, playing with her fingers, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips without her even realizing it.
Thinking about Gu Ning’s fate in his past life, she felt flustered.
Damn that Zhang Xiaomei for making Gu Ning suffer.
If she dared to hurt her Ning in this life, Tang Yuxin would kick her back into the mountains.
She was really furious, harboring deep resentment against Zhang Xiaomei, who would probably return soon.
She wouldn’t let Zhang Xiaomei ruin the man she worked so hard to save.
She wouldn’t let that pig ruin this good cabbage.
That night, it was not as cold as before.
Perhaps because they no longer heard the sound of falling snow, they could sleep peacefully, knowing they could wake up the next morning.
As long as it didn’t snow again, they could probably leave soon.
Tang Yuxin had a good sleep that night.
She rested her head on her backpack, which was almost empty.
All the medicines were used up.
Besides the herbs she had brought back, only her needle skills were keeping the two injured people alive.
Otherwise, both would have died.
Although her backpack was empty, it was still soft.
Filled with dried grass, it made a decent pillow.
In the middle of the night, she opened her eyes to find two large cotton coats covering her.
One was hers, and the other undoubtedly belonged to Gu Ning, as only his coat would be big enough to cover her from head to toe.
The warmth provided by the two coats was more than comfortable.
Because they were windproof and there was a fire in the tent, it wasn’t too cold.
However, as she sat up, the cold wind quickly found its way in, as though eager to seep into her very bones.
