Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Looking for a Place to Settle Down

With ice, they could start cooking.

Everyone had brought a good amount of food with them, and Qin Yue hadn’t thought too much about it.

She continued to heat the small pot, and upon encountering heat, the ice quickly melted.

Now, everyone was free from tasks, they just had to prepare the food.

Song Yi took out a bag of sweet potatoes from his backpack and started roasting them right by the campfire.

There were plenty, enough for one each without any problem.

On Qin Yue’s side, she also added instant noodles to the pot, while Jhiang Yuan rummaged through her backpack for quite a while.

She took out a pack of frozen bok choy, which was perfect to put in. A potful was soon cooking.

The instant noodles had their own seasoning, so it didn’t affect anything, and no other ingredients needed to be added.

Fan Qing also took out some dried vegetables, including daylilies, dried tofu skin, and black fungus, adding a bit to the pot as well.

She also brought two packs of instant noodles.

Ye Mianmian, seeing there was enough food, took out some bagged beef jerky and pork jerky to share with everyone, as a snack to tide them over.

Xiao Ling, seeing this, also took out some of her family’s dried noodles.

Thinking they could cook them together later, Qin Yue didn’t want to put her in a difficult position, so she accepted them.

When the first pot was ready, everyone’s cravings were hooked.

Eyes fixed on Qin Yue’s movements, they all knew there wouldn’t be enough to go around, so no one fought for the food.

The two children were served first, and no one had anything to say about that.

"Kaiyang, here’s a bowl for you, eat up. If it’s not enough, wait for the next pot."

Her idea was simple: there wasn’t much food, so everyone could have a bit and then add more later if needed.

"Auntie, give it to someone else first, I’m not hungry yet."

It just so happened that his stomach "gurgled" right then.

Qin Yue chuckled, just like an elder.

"Take it, you’re injured, you should be looked after."

"Uncle is also injured, and he is older. Give it to him instead!"

He was a good kid who knew his manners, which made Qin Yue quite happy.

"No worries, there’s enough for another serving, the remainder can go to your uncle."

Actually, she had wanted to give it to Jhiang Yuan.

But she also understood her daughter wouldn’t accept it, so she decided to give it to those who were unwell.

Then, she hurriedly went to cook the second pot. Xiao Ling constantly helped by her side, and Zhang Kaiyang, who had received noodles, was very touched.

Sitting by the campfire, he ate with Fan Qing.

That scene was indeed filled with love.

In total, they cooked three pots, and everyone had their fill of the hot noodles.

With food in their stomachs, the warm soup made them feel even warmer.

Song Yi’s sweet potatoes were ready, giving off a sweet and inviting aroma.

Jhiang Yuan helped distribute them to everyone.

Now, everyone sat around the campfire, where water was being heated.

Everyone’s cups had to be filled from the little pot, which had proven to be most valuable that day.

"Here..."

Song Yi handed over half a sweet potato, and Jhiang Yuan turned to look at him, instinctively declining.

"You eat it!"

She truly felt that men needed to eat more.

Surprisingly, Song Yi didn’t move, nor did his gaze waver from her.

She felt a bit awkward and took the half sweet potato he was holding.

Why did it feel like he was getting more and more obstinate lately, or there was always this air about him that brooked no questioning? It felt overbearing!

"So sweet..."

Even though she was inwardly critical, once the food was in her mouth, it was a different scene altogether.

Hearing her words and seeing the smile that curved her eyes, he seemed satisfied.

He ate the other half of the sweet potato in his hands, occasionally glancing at her.

But Jhiang Yuan felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. It was frightening; could it be that Song Yi had come into contact with something unclean?

Eerie, an indescribable eeriness.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the stag statue directly ahead, and her heart silently began to pray.

Let him return to normal, let him return to normal, please!

...

Nighttime meant taking turns keeping watch.

With the weather this cold, they couldn’t allow the fire to go out.

In addition, considering the last encounter with a pack of wolves.

This kind of vigilance was necessary, fortunately, the door had a bar across it.

Without something blocking it, they felt somewhat uneasy.

Qin Yue spread out the military coat on the ground for Xiao Nuan and Jiang Yuan to lie on.

She also had brought other clothes with her; squeezing together, they were able to make it through the night.

So they managed the night somehow, but despite having slept, they were far from rested and even felt sore all over.

There was no helping it; this was the reality of their situation.

Jiang Yuan also thought about secretly taking her family into the space.

But the place was only this big, with so many eyes watching.

She couldn’t do that; as long as they could hold on, they had to persevere.

Otherwise, there would be endless troubles.

The next morning, everyone woke up early.

They were still eating noodles, but Qin Yue added plenty of seasonings.

It wasn’t just watery soup; with the additional side dishes, it was quite flavorful.

"Jiang Yuan, you stay here with everyone later. I’ll go down and see if there’s a place we can take shelter," Song Yi suddenly said, making her heart lurch.

"I’ll go with you!"

"No need, do you remember the unfinished building we saw before?"

The unfinished building was not far from the base of the mountain, and it seemed they could take refuge there now.

"You want to go there?"

"Hmm, I’m just not sure if the avalanche hit that area."

Song Yi frowned as he spoke, clearly in a dilemma.

Indeed, if the snow disaster had hit, that building probably wouldn’t survive.

"Let’s go and have a look, but even that place isn’t so great, it has no glass installed. We still need to plan ahead!"

The others were listening in and fell silent at this point.

"Otherwise, let’s go to the rescue center. At least it provides shelter from the wind and rain."

Liang Kang’s suggestion was immediately rejected by Fan Qing.

"The rescue center is nothing like what you imagine.

Factions form inside, and deaths are a common occurrence.

Moreover, the living conditions are poor, everyone is cramped together with no privacy.

With the blizzard now, the situation is likely to get even worse."

Hearing that, Liang Kang became somewhat indignant.

Of course, his resentment was not directed at her.

"Are the government officials not going to do anything? Let them run wild?"

Fan Qing sighed deeply, if he hadn’t experienced it himself, he would certainly not believe it either.

"There are too many people; they simply can’t manage it all.

Their only goal is to keep the peace and avoid trouble.

A few deaths are far too common."

Liang Kang had never heard her talk about these things before, and his values were crumbling.

"What should we do then? Brother Song, let me go with you for backup!"

"No need, I’ll be quick there and back.

You take care of the elderly, children, and the injured."

With that, he even patted him on the shoulder!
