Chapter 2201 Nowhere to Hide
The husband and wife held hands and hurried towards the small wooden house at the entrance of the village. For them, that place was their home and could help them shelter from the wind and rain.

The strong wind brought heavy snow down, and the two of them ran forward desperately, covering their eyes with their arms.

Large white snow flakes fell in the air, taking advantage of the wind and swirling rapidly.When a strong wind blows, the snow on the snowdrift is blown into the air, and will circle with the newly fallen snowflakes. These snowflakes collide with each other in midair, just like a tornado.

The other houses in the village seemed to disappear in the flying snow, and everything on the ground was gone.

The two of them tried their best to run back to their cabin before they lost their way. Chu Beichen pushed Su Nian into the cabin, and then closed the door of the cabin with all his strength, "Oh my God, there's a storm coming to this place. It's so fast!"

If they didn't understand what a storm was before, the experience during this period perfectly explained the meaning of a storm.

A layer of hoarfrost formed on the small wooden board blocking the window, and large flakes of snow particles came in through the gap. Su Nian found an old fur and plugged the gap tightly, blocking the cold wind outside.

Chu Beichen quickly added firewood to the fireplace, and then lit the kerosene lamp. The flames of the kerosene lamp began to flicker, and soon the room became brighter.

However, the wind and snow outside the house was raging at the moment, and the roar sounded like a pack of wolves howling around the cabin.

Chu Beichen looked at the trembling cabin in the storm with some anxiety, hugged Su Nian in his arms and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, everything will pass!"

The best way to fight against darkness and fear is food.

The two quickly cooked a soup, and baked the mushroom pie brought by the village chief on the fireplace to heat up.

This mushroom stuffed pie looks rough on the outside, but the aroma it emits after being heated is not trivial. No wonder the village chief said that this mushroom stuffed pie is a specialty of their village.

Su Nian sniffed it and said with a smile, "This pie smells like matsutake!"

After a while, the soup was ready, and the stuffed pie was ready. The husband and wife ate it together. Sure enough, the stuffed pie was filled with the best matsutake, the most exquisite and expensive ingredient in modern times. For people who live in the cedar forest, it is just a common material for making pies.

The husband and wife thought it was an ordinary night. After eating and cleaning up the house, Chu Beichen suggested that they could go to the warehouse to check in their free time.

The two of them tied the big flashlights to their shoulders and went out the door holding hands together. The bone-piercing wind was blowing, and the night seemed to be coming early.

In the darkness, Chu Beichen suddenly pointed to the fence at the door and said to Su Nian, "There seem to be some dark shadows there!"

The two covered their eyes and looked towards the fence together, and sure enough they saw a few shadowy figures there.

At this time, the blizzard had already started, could it be that some villager came to find them?
The two struggled to the side of the fence with doubts to check. They were surprised to find that there were several big animals standing close to their fence wall. antlers.

These red deer seemed to have lost their way in the snowstorm, their eyes were tightly closed, their heads were lowered against the fence wall, and they did not dare to move.

Chu Beichen stretched out his hand to touch it, and the red deer didn't resist, nor did it run away. Chu Beichen didn't feel any signs of human domestication such as bridles or reins on it.

"Su Nian, these seem to be wild red deer, let them in and lock them in our barn," Chu Beichen said before opening the gate of the fence.

The couple quickly released the red deer into their yard, closed the fence gate, and guided the red deer into the empty barn amidst the snowstorm.

They pulled in a total of five red deer. After entering the barn, these helpless animals opened their eyes, and stood in the middle of the barn docilely and restlessly.

The barn is made of logs, which is even stronger than the wooden house that Chu Beichen and the others currently live in, but the heat insulation will be slightly worse.

People and animals in the barn relaxed now that the strong wooden doors kept the storm out.

Su Nian took a closer look at the five red deer, and found that only one tall one was a male deer, the others were female deer, and the smallest one seemed to be a fawn.

"My God, this seems to be a family." Su Nian is naturally fond of animals. Seeing the cute appearance of these animals, she couldn't help reaching out and touching the ear of a doe. The doe was very docile and would not hide He didn't avoid it, and even rubbed Su Nian with his head.

"It just so happens that our family has a barn, which allows them to avoid the snowstorm," Chu Beichen said with a smile, and added, "If we can't find any prey in a few days, we can kill one and eat it!"

"My God, you have such a terrible idea, you should go hunting honestly!" Su Nian didn't want to eat such a cute animal, she hurriedly urged Chu Beichen to go with him to fetch hay from the storage room, They are also preparing to burn snow water to melt to feed these red deer.

The roadmen exhaled white smoke, and because of their presence, the barn didn't look cold.

Chu Beichen found a pitchfork in the corner of the wall. He used the pitchfork to clean up the barn. He first picked up the wet hay on the ground and threw it to the door. On the ground, so that the red deer can lie down and sleep in a fluffy and warm place.

Then the couple took fresh hay from the storage room and put it in the trough until the four stone troughs were filled. The red deer didn't care much about their lives, and soon they all started eating fresh hay. .

At this time, the water in the house also melted, Su Nian poured warm water into the basin, and the red deer seemed to be thirsty, so they immediately gathered around and drank.

Seeing that the red deer had drunk the water, Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief, because even in the barn, the warm water would freeze in a short time.

The temperature outside the barn is at least minus 40 degrees Celsius.There is no fire in the barn, and the temperature is kept at about 0 degrees Celsius when it is strenuous.

At this time, Su Nian remembered the existence of rejuvenation. In such a bad weather, it would be great if there was rejuvenation, even if it was just eaten as a fresh vegetable, life would be much easier.

Su Nianjing couldn't help thinking that tomorrow, when the storm is a little lighter, she must search in the yard, choose a place that is easy to dig, and have a look. What if there is any harvest?

By the time the red deer were settled, it was already completely dark.
