The atmosphere was very strange for a while, and no one spoke in the end.

After an unknown amount of time, Tao Hai stood up and said, "Don't worry, you are rich and beautiful, you can just treat me as your servant, don't worry about it."

When he left, he let out a long sigh, which made Tang Zhaozhao even more distressed, and his heart was very blocked.

Then he inevitably thought of Chu Mu again, wondering how he was being treated now.

The two stayed here for three days. On the day Tang Zhaozhao passed away, she felt as light as a swallow, and when she came out of the cave again, she felt as if she had passed away.

Tao Hai's requirements were too strict these two days, and she was not allowed to step out of the cave at all, nor was she allowed to blow cold wind.

Who would have thought that this libertine could do everything in every possible way.

Tang Zhaozhao felt that she was more comfortable with Tao Hai these days than with those court ladies.

She didn't even need to say anything, Tao Hai had already arranged everything properly.

Except that she is not allowed to go out.

On this day, as soon as Tang Zhaozhao walked out of the cave, he saw snowflakes falling from the sky.

In winter, it was so much earlier.

It's already very cold here before it snows on weekdays, but now it's snowing again, it's really impossible to stay here.

To be honest, she even suspected that she was going to freeze to death here.

She was not wearing thick clothes now, just a grass cloak and her own dress, and she hurried back to the cave.

As soon as he arrived at the cave, Tao Hai paused anxiously, took her hand, and pulled her closer.

"where did you go?"

Tang Zhaozhao glared at Tao Hai: "I'm going out for a walk, do I want to report to you too?"

Tao Hai shook his head: "Not really, it's just that the mountains are not safe."

Tang Zhaozhao didn't speak, Tao Hai said: "Come here, I've made a leather jacket, put it on and have a look."

The fur is good, the fur on it is snow white.

However, in order to keep warm, she had to wear the fur side inside and the leather side outside.

It's really not beautiful after wearing it.

However, very warm.

Tao Hai took the rest of the variegated fur and sewed one for himself. He used the straw rope and stone needles he made himself, and it was still warm to wear.

But compared with the cold outside, it is still not warm enough.

Tang Zhaozhao sighed, if only she was by her side, there are a lot of warm clothes in the mother's room, but it's a pity that she is with Tao Hai now.

Thinking of this, she really regretted it.

If she had known at that time, she wouldn't have played with that kite, and she didn't know if her father, queen and queen had sent someone to look for them.

For the sake of Tao Hai being so considerate recently, she wouldn't blame him, but she also didn't want to see him again.

After Tao Hai lit the fire, the temperature in the cave rose a bit.

But it was still a little cold, and a little choking at first.

It got better after waiting.

Tang Zhaozhao said, "When can we go down the mountain?"

Tao Haidao: "I estimate that at least half a month will be trapped in the mountains."

Tang Zhaozhao frowned: "Now that winter has come, there are fewer animals that come out to move around, and all the crops are buried under the snow. The days ahead will be difficult for us."

Tao Haidao: "I've been out hunting for the past few days, and I've dried up some of the meat. I'll go to the river to have a look at that time. When the time comes, I'll dig through the ice, and I should still be able to catch some fish."

Tao Hai looked at Tang Zhaozhao: "You stay here now, don't go anywhere, I'll take advantage of the first snow to go fishing in the river again."

Tang Zhaozhao frowned: "Do you regard me as an ordinary woman? I can do it with you too."

Tao Haidao: "You are still too thin in this body."

Tang Zhaozhao looked at Tao Hai, whose clothes were thinner than his own. His hands were red from the cold, but he still thought she was wearing thin clothes.

"I'll go with you," she said.

Then cut another large piece from the top of the fur sheet.

"Let's wrap the sleeves of the leather jacket."

Probably to save materials, the two leather jackets have no sleeves.

"If you've cut that fur so much, you'll sleep cold at night."

Tang Zhaozhao said: "The most important thing is to live now. If it doesn't work, I'll go find some hay."

She really didn't have any strength a few days ago, and her whole body was sore, so she left everything to Tao Hai. She just did some work like weaving straw mats.

But now that she is well, she naturally wants to work with Tao Hai.

This will increase the chances of survival for both of them.

Tao Hai nodded, and sewed sleeves together with Tang Zhaozhao.

Moreover, Tang Zhaozhao purposely sewed the sleeves a little longer and closed them so that the cold wind would not flow in.

In this way, the leather jacket really kept warm, and the two of them went out.

Fortunately, the snow is actually not that cold, it's just that when the snowflakes fall on the top of the head, it will be cold for a moment.

So they put on the bamboo hats and coir raincoats they made before, so it wasn't too cold.

In terms of fishing, Tang Zhaozhao is actually quite good at it. When she was studying on the mountain, she also went fishing to improve her food.

Moreover, with the fishing skills taught by her own mother, fishing is easy for her.

It's just that today, there are still fewer fish.

The two of them fished for a day, and only half of the basket was caught, but Tao Hai volunteered for anything that needed to be launched into the water.

Tang Zhaozhao didn't think she was the kind of little girl who needed to be protected by personnel. She also wanted to go into the water, but was stopped by Tao Hai.

After the two of them caught the fish, their limbs were already stiff from the cold. Tang Zhaozhao kept shivering, and Tao Hai was also shivering all the time.

Then Tao Hai hugged Tang Zhaozhao, and the two warmed each other up, which made things easier.

Seeing that Tang Zhaozhao wanted to break free, Tao Hai said, "Now it's a matter of life and death, so don't care about those vain rituals."

Tang Zhaozhao was persuaded, and it was really his wife who was cold.

When they returned to the cave, the two of them saw the hot spring, and they were so cold that they just wanted to jump into the hot spring.

Fortunately, there are two pools in this hot spring, and there is a stone standing between each other, which can block them for a while.

The two took off their clothes and went into the hot spring, Tang Zhaozhao felt alive again.

It was too cold outside, and it was so warm in the hot spring that Tang Zhaozhao didn't want to move anymore.

At this moment, Tao Hai said, "Don't soak in the hot spring for too long, I've already built a fire, and the cave is getting warmer, so get up quickly."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded, groped for the clothes immediately, then climbed up the boulder, stood in the opposite direction and began to put on the clothes.

Tao Hai kept staring at the fire in front of him, and didn't look at Tang Zhaozhao, but his rolling Adam's apple and red ears revealed his inner unrest.

When Tang Zhaozhao got dressed and walked out slowly, he saw Tao Hai looking at her with burning eyes.

There were stars in those eyes.

She had always thought that Chu Mu's eyes were the prettiest, but now that she looked at Tao Hai's, she realized that Tao Hai's eyes were also very good-looking.

The tails of the peach blossom eyes are red, which is indescribably beautiful and beautiful.

Tao Haidao: "Come here, I've already grilled the fish, I've been hungry all day, eat some hot food to warm my stomach."

Because there is no salt, the taste of the grilled fish is not so delicious, but the two of them are already very hungry, as long as they have a bite to eat, they don't care whether it tastes good or not.

But they didn't eat salt for half a month, and the two of them were still a little weak in limbs.

When sleeping at night, Tao Hai built another straw mat on top of Tang Zhaozhao's quilt, while he himself only built a bed. He curled up into a ball, shivering from the cold.

Tang Zhaozhao frowned, the more Tao Hai did this, the more she couldn't equate Tao Hai with the prodigal son.

Even, I was moved by his not breaking the rules.

In the middle of the night, Tang Zhaozhao woke up from the cold. Looking at Tao Hai again, he was shrunk into the straw mat, still shivering.

She thought that sleeping like this would not be good for either of them.

The so-called chastity does not have to be alive.

The queen mother taught herself that in everything, you must live first before you can have a future. Chastity is important, but it can be put aside when life and death are at stake.

There is nothing more important than life.

What's more, they just slept together and kept each other warm, which was really nothing.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhaozhao said, "Tao Hai, are you asleep?"

Tao Hai raised his head tremblingly, his face was already a little blue from the cold.

"It's so cold, how can I sleep."

Tang Zhaozhao said: "Come and sleep with me, we two will be warmer."

Tao Hai was languid from the cold, but after hearing Tang Zhaozhao's words, his eyes immediately lit up.

Tang Zhaozhao suddenly felt that Tao Hai looked like a fox now.

She suddenly felt a little regretful, and before she could open her mouth, she found that Tao Hai had crawled into her straw mat like lightning, holding his straw mat, and at the same time covered his straw mat on top.

Before she could speak, Tao Hai had already hugged her.

Tang Zhaozhao's cheeks were flushed, she was really ashamed and wanted to die, she grew up so big, she had never had such close contact with the opposite sex.

But during the more than half a month of getting along with Tao Hai, she tried everything she had never tried before.

It was the first time to be kissed by a man, the first time to be taken by a man during menstruation, and the first time to wear a man's clothes.

Also, sleeping with a man for the first time.

For the first time, he was held tightly in his arms.

Tang Zhaozhao struggled a bit, but Tao Hai hugged him even tighter.

"Don't move, it's too cold now, if you move the air conditioner, you'll run in."

Tang Zhaozhao had no choice but to stay still.

I have to say that in the cold winter, with a heat source around, it will really be much warmer.

But it was still cold in the middle of the night. She looked at the fire and found that the fire had gone out.

She kicked Tao Hai's foot.

"Go and light the fire."

Tao Hai nodded and went to light the fire.

Tang Zhaozhao found that it was getting warmer, so he wanted Tao Hai to sleep by himself, but Tao Hai consciously got under Tang Zhaozhao's quilt.

"It's so cold, so cold."

Tang Zhaozhao: "."

She has lured wolves into the house!

She pushed Tao Hai: "It's warm now, you can go outside."

Tao Hai looked at Tang Zhaozhao in disbelief, as if she was the heartbreaker.

"I went to light the fire just now, I was blown by the cold wind just now, you don't know how cold I am."

"But, you are the warmest here now, and you actually asked me to sleep outside. Do you want to freeze me to death?"

Tang Zhaozhao looked at Tao Hai's accusing eyes, opened his mouth, but never said anything.

Tao Hai hugged her tightly and fell asleep again.

Tao Hai's body warmed up quickly, and Tang Zhaozhao fell asleep in the warmth after a while.

When I woke up, I found that it was already morning and the sky was bright.

And Tao Hai had already woken up, and even made breakfast.

The breakfast was light, and he cooked some chestnut porridge.

He looked at Tang Zhaozhao: "The chestnut tree is a bit far from the cave. I was worried about you before, and I didn't dare to go far away. Now let's go over there to pick up chestnuts. This is the only thing that can be used as a staple food."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded.

Tao Haidao: "Besides, I also want to go over there to confirm some things."

Tang Zhaozhao also nodded in agreement.

After they had breakfast, they both put on their backpacks and set off.

There was also a hoe made of stone in Tao Hai's back basket. The stone was hard, and he didn't know how Tao Hai made it.

When he reached the chestnut field, Tao Hai first scraped away the snow with a hoe, and then used the hoe to get the chestnuts into the newly made dustpan.

Tang Zhaozhao followed suit, and together with Tao Hai put the chestnuts into the dustpan.

Now there are thorns on the chestnut, and there is still snow. If they pick it up for a day, their hands will definitely be frozen. As long as they take the chestnut back to the cave to pick it up, they will not be so cold.

Both of them have light kung fu, and they went back and forth several times a day, and there were a lot of chestnuts piled up in the cave.

Then, Tao Hai said: "Follow me to a place, there may be salt there."

Tang Zhaozhao thought that there was a salt lake, and then found that the further they walked, the further they went into the mountains.

Tang Zhaozhao didn't ask, and when he arrived at the place, Tang Zhaozhao realized it was a stone.

Tao Haidao: "I saw herbivores come here to lick the rocks before, so I guessed that there would be salt here, but there are also beasts here."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded: "It's okay, the two of us will go together."

Tao Hai chuckled lightly, looking at Tang Zhaozhao with bright eyes.

"Okay, let's go together then."

The two of them approached the rock, and as soon as they approached, they saw blood on the ground, and the blood was still fresh.

The two looked at each other, approached each other, and then walked step by step to the place where the rock was.

With all his strength, Tao Hai knocked off a large piece of the rock, which would be enough for the two of them for a long time if they were extracted.

When they were done, the two backed away side by side, always on guard against the beast.

When they were about to leave there, the beast did not come, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

When they walked halfway, they suddenly saw a wild boar rushing out of the surrounding.

Tao Hai frowned when he saw this wild boar.

This is an adult wild boar. Although there is not much meat on its body, if they catch it this time, they can survive at least a month.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes that they were bound to win.

Then the two men led the wild boar and ran into the woods.

When they arrived in the woods, they had something to hide from, and the wild boar's attacks were rampant, but they were limited.

Moreover, their flexible stature is more conducive to their display.

When they got to the woods, the wild boars were still chasing them. Tao Hai asked Tang Zhaozhao to climb up the tree, and he ran below himself, attracting the wild boars to chase him.

Seeing that there was a tree in front of him, but Tao Hai refused to give way, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

The wild boar also sped up the speed, and when it got close, Tao Hai made a sudden leap, jumping onto the tree with his whole body.

And the wild boar couldn't stop the car, and the whole pig crashed into a tree, and its fangs got embedded in the tree trunk, making a terrifying howl.

Tang Zhaozhao and Tao Hai descended from the tree at the same time and attacked the wild boar's neck.

Both of them carried daggers with them, and they were the sharpest daggers in Datang. Even though the wild boar had rough skin and thick flesh, the wild boar was completely killed after a few downs.

The wild boar was too big for one person to carry, so the two stopped again and began to cut down trees to make a wheelbarrow, and then they pushed it into the cave.

Going out this time has yielded a lot, and both of them are very happy.

The wild boar was taken care of by Tao Hai. With a dagger, he disassembled and cleaned the wild boar, and then hung it in the cave.

The smell of the wild boar is fishy, ​​and it smells a little bad when it is hung in the cave.

As for Tang Zhaozhao, he refined the salt on the sidelines.

She knows this, but the process is more complicated.

After the refining was completed, the wild boars on Tao Hai's side were also processed.

Tang Zhaozhao put the salt in a small jar, and then caught the snow and boiled the water.

It takes too long to boil water in a stone pot.

Only then did the two begin to peel the chestnuts.

When Tang Zhaozhao saw the chestnuts full of thorns, he couldn't help but sigh.

"There were so many chestnuts before, it must be difficult for you to peel them?"

Tao Hai smiled and shook his head: "No, I think it's okay, anyway, I peeled it for you to eat."

The eyes he looked at Tang Zhaozhao were so focused, without the usual teasing, Tang Zhaozhao's ears gradually turned red.

"Peel it off quickly."

Tao Hai took out a pair of straw woven gloves. The gloves were thick, and the process seemed complicated.

"You should wear these gloves to knock the chestnut skin. After you smash the chestnut skin, let me peel it. It will be easier."

Tang Zhaozhao nodded, and then looked at Tao Hai's bare hands.

"Why don't you wear it?"

Tao Hai smiled and said, "These gloves are hard to weave, it's okay, I have thick fur."

When Tao Hai said this, Tang Zhaozhao believed it.

Because she does know that some people have practiced iron sand palms, maybe Tao Hai is such a person?

When she first peeled the chestnuts, Tao Hai did it quickly and well, but later, as she peeled more and more chestnuts, she realized that Tao Hai's fingers had been peeled to bloody flesh.

At this moment, Tang Zhaozhao's heart was stabbed severely.

With Tao Hai's playful nature, he managed to hold back the pain.

She looked at the chestnut and suddenly found it hard to swallow.

"How about we switch?"

Tao Hai smiled and said: "It's okay, there is still a little bit left to be peeled, if I don't peel it today, it will be even more difficult to peel the chestnut skin when it is dry."

Tang Zhaozhao said: "Then let's change, I'll peel it, you will knock it."

Tao Haidao: "There is only one-fifth left, and it will be peeled off soon."

"After peeling, the chestnuts and wild boar in the pot are ready to eat."

Tang Zhaozhao saw that Tao Hai insisted, so she didn't say anything, but speeded up the chestnut knocking. After knocking the chestnuts, she also joined the chestnut peeling army.

Even though she was wearing a glove, the chestnuts were still not easy to peel. There were so many chestnuts that her hands hurt from being poked.

Not to mention Tao Hai without gloves.

She took off the gloves.

"I won't knock, you wear it."

Tao Hai raised his head, as if he wanted to touch her head with bloody hands, but he seemed afraid of staining her hair, so he stopped in mid-air and didn't move again.

He withdrew his hand, with a smile on his face.

"Zhao Zhao understands that she loves me, and I'm very happy."

Tang Zhaozhao stared angrily with his usual coquettishness in this smile.

She is crazy to feel sorry for Tao Hai.

She took off the gloves and threw them in front of Tao Hai.

"I won't peel it off."

Tao Hai smiled and nodded: "Then you go to rest and soak in a hot spring."

Tang Zhaozhao ignored Tao Hai, but subconsciously followed Tao Hai's arrangement.

When I entered the hot spring, I was sulked again.

Why did she listen to Tao Hai? Tao Hai is the most annoying person.

After soaking in the hot spring, his body was warm, and then he looked at Tao Hai. After putting on the gloves, his peeling speed was a bit faster.

It's just that the grass gloves were also stained red with blood.

She frowned, opened her mouth, and finally forced herself to close it again, looking away.

She went to check on the chestnuts and pork, and they were already cooked, but there was still an unpleasant fishy smell.

But with the current conditions, there is no way to ask for anything, and it is not easy to be alive.

After eating, it was Tao Hai who cleaned the bowls and chopsticks. Tang Zhaozhao cleaned up the cave and cleaned out the chestnut skins.

After Tao Hai finished washing the dishes, he came over to clean up with Tang Zhaozhao.

The cave has returned to its previous cleanliness.

Tao Hai yawned.

"I'm going to take a bath and then I'm going to sleep."

Tang Zhaozhao gritted his teeth: "Then remember not to soak your hands."

Tao Hai chuckled lightly, indescribably romantic.

"it is good."

After soaking, Tao Hai spread out the bedding, and then looked at Tang Zhaozhao.

"Zhao Zhao, I'm asleep."

Tang Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't sleep."

Thinking of how badly Tao Hai's hand was injured, she felt that her tone was too harsh.

She thought about it and added a sentence.

"I'll take a look at your wounds."

When Tao Hai heard that Tang Zhaozhao was going to treat him, his eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up to Tang Zhaozhao and raised his hand.

There was a bit of grievance in the tone.

"It still hurts."

Tang Zhaozhao said unhappily: "Don't you know how to wear gloves? You also give me the gloves. I don't touch the chestnut skin much when I smash it."

Tao Hai shook his head: "But you have delicate skin and tender flesh. If you touch that chestnut skin, the injury will definitely be more serious than now."

His eyes are so deep, only Tang Zhaozhao's figure is reflected in his eyes.

"In that case, I will feel bad."

His voice was so pleasant that Tang Zhaozhao's whole body felt numb when he heard it.

Sensing Tao Hai getting closer, Tang Zhaozhao pushed him.

"Go and sit there."

Tao Hai was very obedient, and even patted the straw mat next to him after sitting down.

"Zhao Zhao, sit here."

After Tang Zhaozhao sat down, he had time to carefully examine Tao Hai's injuries.

His nails were already cracked, and the tips of his fingers were rotten. Seeing such injuries, Tang Zhaozhao felt a twinge in his heart.

This injury is too serious.

It's all because of pity for her, he didn't let her peel the chestnuts, and he gave her the gloves, otherwise his injury wouldn't be so serious.

So when applying herbal medicine, Tang Zhaozhao's movements were very gentle and slow.

Tao Hai chuckled lightly.

"Zhao Zhao, are you in love with me?"

Tang Zhaozhao glared at Tao Hai, she was really crazy.

Then she applied the wound with normal strength, Tao Hai hissed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Tang Zhaozhao sighed, she really had nothing to do with Tao Hai.

She relaxed again.

The corners of Tao Hai's mouth curled up indistinctly.
