From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1146

The sun disappeared without a trace, and snowflakes fell again.

Lightly, slowly, like flying catkins, like light feathers, the air was hazy, as if the fog condensed into snow, as if the snow dispersed into fog.

The earth became a rough jade, and the dead trees became silver branches. Walking in the dreamlike world, Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an held hands more tightly.

On one side of the dense forest, they could see a smooth road ahead, and they stopped.

Li Yu'an cut a piece of stone, sat on it slowly, and said softly: "Come on, little nephew, uncle is tired, take a rest first."

Zhou Yuan smiled, took off his waist knife, poured his internal force into it, and the blade was shining.

He slashed quickly, one knife after another, and it took more than half an hour to pile up the wood.

So he chose a location and started to build a wooden house around a few trees.

It was easy. With enough strength, he just used a knife to dig out the cracks in the ground, and then inserted the wooden boards into it to form a wall.

Soon the walls and the roof were built, and when he looked at Li Yu'an, she said, "We still need to lay the floor."

So Zhou Yuan selected a few branches and fixed them on the ground, and laid the floor on the branches. In half a day, the wooden house was built.

Li Yu'an smiled and said, "As for the bed, it must be built firmly. If it is broken, it will ruin the atmosphere."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "The bed is easy to make, but there is no bedding."

Li Yu'an said, "Anyway, we are immune to cold and heat, so it doesn't matter whether there is bedding or not. The important thing is that you have to grind the wood board very smooth for me, without the slightest bumps, so as not to hurt my skin."

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to do it, rubbing the wood and constantly polishing it to a fine degree, and almost made the wooden bed patina.

He then said loudly: "You can really sleep now, I promise there will be no problem."

Li Yu'an said: "I'm hungry."

Zhou Yuan said: "I'm hungry too."

"What should I do?"

"I don't know, I forgot to bring food."

The two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

"Seclusion? Which idiot came up with this idea? It's so stupid."

Li Yu'an took Zhou Yuan's hand and walked forward, complaining: "I said this is unreliable, but you still don't believe it. Where can we find food in this place?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Why don't we go back first? With our internal strength, we can hold on until we get back."

"No!"

Li Yu'an hummed: "Since we are here, I don't want to leave at all. There is no need to think about any mundane things here. I like it here."

Zhou Yuan said: "But we don't even have basic living supplies!"

Li Yu'an pouted and said, "I don't care, you go find it."

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to smile bitterly, then nodded and said, "Okay, this place is too remote, and the Tsarist army has not swept here. Maybe there are some isolated tribes. I'll go find food."

Li Yu'an blinked and smiled, "That's what I mean. Let's go and find it together."

The two of them were like headless flies, wandering around here, and they didn't see a single person after two days of searching.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, "No! I'll starve to death if I don't eat! Let's leave here and implement another plan to go fishing at the beach!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shouting sound in the distance. A group of about a dozen natives, wrapped in thick clothes, holding homemade spears, kept shouting at Zhou Yuan and his men.

Obviously, they were also full of defense and were very unfriendly to the two people who suddenly broke into the tribe.

Zhou Yuan and Li Yu'an looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

On the third day, they returned to their hut carrying clean animal fur blankets and clean bedding.

Zhou Yuan set up a small stove on the side, while Li Yu'an was trying to tell whether the meat was venison, wolf meat, or bear meat?

I don't know, but the fire in the small stove has been lit. These marinated meats can be eaten after being roasted. Although the taste is ordinary, they all eat them very fragrantly.

"It's a pity that there is no wine."

Li Yu'an laughed and wiped the oil off Zhou Yuan's mouth, saying, "This is a slick tongue."

Zhou Yuan said, "Well... I haven't been slick for a long time. Do you miss it?"

Li Yu'an said, "I miss you if you miss me. I also want to test the results of your training these days."

Zhou Yuan turned around and closed the door directly.

The snow was heavier, and the wind was blowing in the dark night. The trees were rustling, and occasionally the sound of branches cracking and breaking could be heard.

This is a chaotic painting, with only the hut lit with a dim light.

It seems that this little house is the only warm place in the world.

So lonely, yet so warm.

Under the flames, figures overlap.

The sound of wind, trees, and gentle singing are all in my ears.

This cold day is cold and stagnant.

The restless flames are swaying because of this..

The sky cleared up, the sun pierced through the fog, and the whole world was bright.

The door was not open.

If there was no sound, who would believe that there was someone inside.

The internal force was surging, constantly absorbing and strengthening itself, forming a virtuous cycle.

For two consecutive days, no one came out of the room.

Until the third day, the door opened automatically.

Li Yu'an's hair was wet, sticking to her white body, the black and white contrast was stunning.

She opened her eyes, with white light flashing in her eyes. The way of double cultivation made her state reach an excellent level.

"Yin and Yang work together, internal force interweaves, and it is the way of nature."

Zhou Yuan murmured: "I feel the majestic power in my body, it's really magical."

Li Yu'an whispered: "Are you sure you want to tell me these words after the first joint practice?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Li Yu'an."

"Ah?"

She rarely heard him call her name.

Zhou Yuan said: "I feel that the biggest reason I came to this world is because you are waiting for me."

Li Yu'an's eyes were full of tenderness, and she said softly: "I have been wandering around and missed myself. Maybe it is God who arranged for me to wait for you."

Zhou Yuan said: "Life is still long."

Li Yu'an said: "Our skills are enough for us to live for more than a hundred years."

Zhou Yuan said: "Compared to others, we are too young."

Li Yu'an said: "So age is not a problem for us at all."

Zhou Yuan said: "We should have figured it out long ago."

Li Yu'an said: "It's not too late for us to figure it out now."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

They walked out of the cabin hand in hand, looking at the snow and the picturesque scenery...

"So new!"

Li Yu'an was full of energy and whispered, "After a heavy snowfall, the world becomes brand new."

Zhou Yuan said, "As brand new as us."

"Yes, as brand new as us."

The wind blew, and the snowflakes on the trees fell sparsely. Under the sunlight, they bloomed in their best posture.

The two people in the snow walked slowly hand in hand, they were the souls of the painting.
