Chapter 119 Blizzard Night
After finishing the barbecue, everyone felt full and warm.
So, everyone tacitly climbed onto the earthen bed, ready to rest for a while.
However, even though the temperature inside the cave was pleasant, the occasional sounds of impact and howling wind still made everyone uneasy.
After all, although orcs possess strong physiques, they still appear so small compared to nature.
Yong lay on the earthen bed, gently patting Miyue's back, trying to comfort her fearful heart.
It turns out that Miyue's parents had once left their home in similar severe weather, but never returned.
Therefore, she was filled with fear and unease about this extreme weather.
The cave was unusually quiet at this moment. The usually noisy little beastmen had all curled up on the earthen bed, not daring to make a sound.
The only sound in the entire cave was the crackling of firewood.
The great shaman sat by the fire, divining how long the terrible weather would last.
However, after spending a long time divining, the result was not very ideal.
Ruan Mianmian had already hidden in her tent; it would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid.
She used to be able to hide behind Sen and Yu out of fear, but ever since the wolf clan joined, she has started to deliberately cultivate her persona and try to make herself look more dignified.
Although she knew this was just a facade, she still hoped to maintain this authority, because as the leader, she needed to bring confidence and a sense of security to everyone.
However, now, faced with such terrible weather, she could hardly hide her fear.
After all, it's hard to imagine or experience such weather in the original world.
Moreover, people tend to have a greater sense of awe towards nature.
She hid in the tent, wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, and tried to alleviate her inner unease in this way.
She didn't know how long the blizzard would last, but the strong winds gradually made her uneasy.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She told herself she couldn't be afraid, she couldn't let fear control her.
So even now, shivering in her sleeping bag, she dares not make a sound, for fear of attracting the attention of those around her.
Sen was the first to notice her fear; he keenly sensed Ruan Mianmian's unease and apprehension.
He lingered in front of Ruan Mianmian's tent for a long time before finally deciding to go inside and take a look.
As he gently pulled back the tent flap, a warm breeze wafted out.
He went into the tent and found Ruan Mianmian curled up in her sleeping bag, her body trembling slightly.
He walked over to Ruan Mianmian and gently patted her shoulder.
Ruan Mianmian suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with terror.
"Don't be afraid, it's me," Mori said softly.
Ruan Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little nervous.
She sat up, looked at Sen, her eyes filled with gratitude.
"Thank you, Sen," Ruan Mianmian said softly.
Sen smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome. I was just worried you'd be scared."
After a moment of silence, Ruan Mianmian suddenly asked, "Sen, are all your winters like this?"
Sen thought for a moment and replied seriously, "There have been a few such incidents, and a few orcs even died because of the harsh weather. However, such incidents are rare, and our cave is so warm now, you don't need to worry at all."
Ruan Mianmian nodded, feeling a little more at ease.
She looked at Sen and found his eyes firm and confident, as if everything was under his control.
"Sen, you are so brave," Ruan Mianmian exclaimed sincerely.
Sen smiled slightly and said nothing.
He knew that only by remaining calm and courageous in the face of danger and challenges could he find a chance to survive.
"Okay, don't worry, go and get some rest. There's a lot to do tomorrow," Sen said, gently tucking Ruan Mianmian into her sleeping bag.
Ruan Mianmian gave him a grateful look, then lay back down.
She closed her eyes, tried to calm herself down, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
Sen looked at her sleeping peacefully and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He turned and walked out of the tent, continuing to guard her side.
