Su Bujing carefully selected two pairs of fluffy trousers from the Immortal Mansion, and then winked at Su Buyi, indicating that he was ready.

Su Buyi nodded clearly, first pointed at himself with his index finger, and then pointed at Su Bujing, indicating that he would come first and Su Bujing would follow.

Su Buyi nodded in agreement and handed the dagger tied to his ankle to Su Buyi.

Then, Su Buyi held the dagger, carefully looked at his pants, and then controlled his strength to cut along the seam where the pants touched the ice. Su Buyi held up a dead leaf and a cane to give him light.

Fortunately, the dagger was still sharp, and his pants were easily cut open, allowing Su Buyi to escape from the ice.

Then he quickly put on a pair of longer trousers that were placed on Su Bujing's shoulders.

When it was Su Bujing's turn, she was even faster. Without even blinking, she slashed the trousers on her face to pieces and put on the trousers on her shoulders.

Su Buyi stared at him.

Sister, really... aren't you worried about scratching your skin if you use too much force?

He didn't know that Su Buying was very skilled and would never make such a stupid mistake.

After the two changed, they did not relax immediately. Instead, they stood up and methodically found a place lined with silver trees.

"Let's go here. The four silver trees in front of us form a square. We can tie the cloth on the tree branches to make a simple tent." Su Buyi pointed to the silver trees and said.

Su Bujing squinted his eyes and observed, thinking that Su Buyi's idea was very good.

So, as she was told, she took out a few large pieces of dark gray cloth from the fairy mansion, and picked up a handful of dry and tough grass stems. Together with Su Buyi, she twisted the straw stems to make a straw rope.

Since they had learned how to weave straw ropes from the fleeing team, both Su Bujing and Su Buyi skillfully weaved dozens of straw ropes in a short period of time.

After making the straw rope, they worked together to poke holes in the four corners of the fabric, then twisted three straw ropes into a thick rope and passed it through the holes in the four corners of the fabric.

Su Buyi tied the upper hole of the cloth tightly to the branches of two silver trees, and tied the lower hole of the cloth to the tree roots.

Then, the two tied the other three pieces of cloth in the same manner until the cloth formed four tightly wrapped "walls".

This wasn't the end yet. Su Buyi carried Su Buying on her back and asked her to cover her head with two pieces of cloth. In this way, a tent with walls and a roof was ready.

However, to be cautious, Su Bujing hung a second layer of cloth on the outermost layer of the tent.

Only in this way can we ensure that the tents will not be exposed to snow and wind.

Looking at the dark gray tent that blended in with the night and black snow, Su Bujing and Su Buyi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this tent is poorly made and very rough, it is not as delicate and strong as the military tents of marchers.

But it is more than enough to be used as a temporary resting place, and the color of the tent is similar to the environment. If an outsider breaks in, it is extremely difficult to be discovered, and it has a certain concealment effect.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi didn't stay outside to admire it for too long, and immediately went into the tent to hide from the wind and snow.

learn from mistakes.

This time they entered, they did not sit down in a hurry, but first spread a thick layer of leather on the snow inside the tent.

Su Bujing collapsed on the leather with a thud and sighed: "Oh, it's really not easy. One step away from here could be fatal."

Su Buyi smiled bitterly and said: "Fortunately, we are wearing thick clothes. If we only wore a pair of pants, what we did just now would have paralyzed our legs and made us unable to move due to the cold."

"We have no experience climbing snow-capped mountains. We won't notice some details until we get to the end. We are bound to make mistakes." "Be more careful next time and don't make the same mistake again." Su Bujing lay on the leather, feeling comfortable. He stretched his body and replied.

Su Buyi hummed, then took the two wooden crutches placed outside the tent and inserted them upside down into the exposed soil at the door of the tent, using them as lighting fixtures.

The dim light of the leaves gradually spread inside the tent, and the darkness inside the tent was suddenly dispersed by the light.

Neither of them spoke, and they looked quietly at the only light in front of them, seeming to be in a daze, but also seeming to calm down the complicated emotions in their hearts.

For a moment, the tent was quiet, and the noise from the cold wind beating against the tent was heard, which was particularly harsh.

Su Buyi put her arms behind her head and broke the silence, "I don't know when this wind will stop."

"Even if the wind stops at the next moment, we won't leave. The tents are all ready. How can we get through it if we don't take a good rest and sleep?"

Su Buying took out two thick quilts and threw one to Su Buyi. He took off his slightly wet boots and was about to nestle in the quilt to rest.

"Don't sleep yet. We have to light a fire in the tent first, otherwise we will get sick if we fall asleep."

"If you get sick, not to mention the suffering, our journey will also be slowed down." Su Buyi reminded thoughtfully.

Su Buyi's words made sense. Su Buying cheered up and took out some of the silver wood firewood that had been collected and stored in the fairy mansion. He stacked it into a moderately sized triangular fire and placed it in the middle of the tent.

Su Buyi lit the fire with a fire stick.

Dry firewood ignites when exposed to fire. The wood and flames burn cracklingly, bringing in billowing heat. The orange-red firelight intersects with the dead gray light, illuminating the inside of the tent brightly.

Although the space inside the tent is not large, it is more than enough for two people and a fire.

Su Buyi heated the two sweet potatoes in his arms in the fire, picked up two smooth and round stones nearby, and threw them into the fire to roast.

"When the fire burns out, these two stones will be warm. Then we can hold the stones to keep warm." Su Buyi explained.

"Then let's put more rocks in. We can also use them to sleep on and cover our feet. It's much more practical than a fire." Su Bujing said eagerly.

After all, you can't hold a fire in your arms.

Su Buyi smiled and nodded, then picked a few more stones without sharp corners and threw them into the fire.

Su Bujing took out a piece of ice cubes and put it into a small pot, preparing to boil some hot water for drinking.

Drinking hot water when it's cold can help your body warm up faster.

Seeing that there were still gaps around the fire, Su Bujing suggested:
  "Brother, let's take off our shoes and footwear and bake them by the fire. It's very uncomfortable to wear them like this."

After walking in the snow for a long time, their shoes and footwear were more or less damp. Although it did not hinder walking, it made their feet very uncomfortable.

Su Buyi moved her toes and nodded sympathetically.

The shoes were really uncomfortable, wet and greasy.

So Su Bujing and Su Buyi took off their shoes and footwear and put them by the fire to roast. Their bare feet were wrapped in the quilt, so they weren't cold at all.

Su Bujing and Su Buyi put their hands side by side and leaned close to the fire to keep warm. They chatted endlessly, trying not to make the atmosphere quiet.

After a while, the sweet potatoes and hot water were ready to eat.
