After bolting the door, the cabin quivered slightly, and the smoked rabbits hanging on the edge shook, dropping the accumulated snow from the roof's edge. A blizzard had passed some time ago, completely covering the cabin's roof with snowflakes, but due to the steep slant, the snow wasn't thick.
Seeing the swinging rabbits, the sled dogs beside drooled with desire, Bi Fang looked up following their gaze and slapped his forehead.
"Forgot to bring them inside."
If he didn't take them back into the cabin, who knows what might eat them by the time he returned.
Gathering the smoked rabbits from the edge, Bi Fang placed them inside before setting off once more, traveling across the vast ice plains and witnessing more of the landscape.
The temperature remained very low, only around minus thirty degrees, but compared to the minus sixty degrees during the recent blizzard, it was now considered "warm".
Despite the monotonous grey-white environment surrounding him, Bi Fang didn't feel lonely.
On the eternal ice fields, every day new animals appeared, new things happened; every morning was fresh, each animal with its own novel story.
The wind brought the seeds of stories, time allowed them to sprout.
Bi Fang enjoyed such a life and didn't find it arduous.
In mid-January, it was the time when the sun was about to reinvigorate, perhaps in the next couple of days.
Charcoal burned quietly, the red and yellow glows scattering sparks, warm... The warmth of a fire!
Covered with a musk ox skin on the kang bed, Bi Fang's forehead glistened with sweat, and his back exuded layers of sweat, every pore stinging like needle pricks, unbearable!
"Heh-ha!"
Bi Fang suddenly awoke, his back damp with sweat, and subconsciously reached for the spear leaning against the wall. It was only after grabbing it that he realized he was still in the cabin, and nothing happened.
Strange, a nightmare?
Bi Fang was puzzled but wasn't affected by the nightmare. He reached out to touch the kang, which wasn't any warmer than previous nights—wondering why he sweated so much today.
Am I running a fever?
Bi Fang touched his forehead, but couldn't make sense of it. Beside him, Goudan was panting, looking almost like a dead dog with no reaction at all.
Just when Bi Fang thought everything was an illusion, perhaps an unease that emerged from his subconscious for the first time staying so long in the wilderness, a subtle scraping sound came from outside the cabin.
Bi Fang startled, his grip on the spear tightening, his veins protruding like a creeping snake.
Outside the door, there was something!
...
Zheng Fahua was an earnest student and also a mature university student. He went through middle school decorously, attended an ordinary high school, and similarly went through high school in a decorous manner, eventually getting into an average university.
What was different was that Zheng Fahua heeded the advice of his elders, none of whom had been to university, and treated university as a relaxing place, skipping classes every now and then, gaming and reading novels in the dormitory, to this day.
