Chapter 239 The Sleigh

Shawn didn't feel tired at first, but gradually, he felt that his arms got tired.

Finally, he had to let Ewen hold Nancy for a while.

Nancy was a bit speechless.

"Get the tent up before it gets dark."

The auroras didn't show up until around 9 or 10 p.m., so now they needed to find a place to set up their tents, and they would just camp out in the wild.

Ewen had set up tents many times, and with the help of several young men, they soon found a suitable, open place to pitch the tent.

Then Ewen took out a stove, charcoal, and food from the sled cars he had brought up.

Ewen said, "I'm going to get some wood. If I can hunt rabbits, that would be great. Anyone wants to go with me?"

Nancy wanted to go with him.

Ivan raised his hand and said, "Me!"

Symon didn't want to walk anymore, so he sat down by the fire, his dark eyes staring up at the sky.

Shawn carried Nancy's clothes and hat, saying, "Take a rest here."

Nancy nodded. Although she wanted to go with them, she listened to her cousin.

Shawn tapped her little head and said, "I'll take you with me tomorrow."

Nancy smiled happily.

"All right." After saying this, she took the initiative to tilt her head and rub it against Shawn's hand.

Ewen left with Ivan, so Sean went around to see if there was any wood to pick up.

It got dark early, and Ewen and the others returned before it was dark.

"Hey! We're back!"

Ewen was waving a dead rabbit as if to show off.

"Look, we're in luck. Two fat rabbits!"

Ewen ran over excitedly with two rabbits. There was even a pile of dry wood in the sled car.

"My friend Andre is coming over. He will bring a generator here so that we can do more."

Speaking of the devil, a voice shouted from the bottom of the hill. Ewen put the rabbits down and smiled.

"Hey, Andre, I'm here!"

Nancy squatted on the ground and poked her finger at the rabbits. They were indeed dead, with a hole in their stomachs. The blood froze because of the cold weather.

Shawn covered her eyes and said, "Are you scared?"

Nancy shook her head and whispered, "No. I've seen chickens and rabbits being killed before."

Although the rabbit was very lovely, she would not waste the food so that the rabbit didn't sacrifice in vain.

Shawn looked at Nancy with some surprise. Seeing that she didn't fake it, he laughed.

She had gotten more nervous than he thought.

Andre came by on his snowmobile, and it only take him a few minutes to come here.

"Hey, man, I almost lost you. Are these your friends?"

Andre patted Ewen's shoulder as soon as he arrived. The strength made Nancy feel pain for Ewen.

Andre was a very tall and burly man with a beard. He looked a little fierce, but his laughs were hearty.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Andre, Ewen's friend."

Andre said it in Russian, and Nancy and Sean couldn't understand it.

Even though Nancy had a good memory, she couldn't learn Russian in just a few days.

Andre shook hands with Shawn and others, and the atmosphere was lively.

With a generator, they could get hot water and cook something like a fried steak.

The grown-ups got busy with dinner. There was a lot of meat, like mutton, beef, ham, fish, and so on. They didn't have many vegetables.

They were not short of meat, but it was hard for them to get vegetables.

Nancy was playing with dogs. She was clumsily running forward, with the dogs following behind her.

"You can't imitate me!" Nancy said angrily.

The Huskie howled excitedly.

Then all the other dogs started barking too.

Nancy was speechless.

But soon she played with the dogs in the snow, and sometimes she got stuck in the snow and was quickly dug out by the dogs, without any help from adults.

Andre looked at her and laughed.

"It's rare to see Rick like someone so much. I'll make friends with you guys!"

Andre liked dogs very much. He also liked the people his dog liked, and he was enthusiastic.

Shawn was making shrimp for Nancy. That was what she loved most. When he looked up at Nancy, he smiled.

"Well, she's very popular among animals."

It was dark now, but the snow was white, so they could see the way, especially when they had lit a fire.

The smell of food wafted far away. Nancy and the dogs sat in rows, with their big eyes staring at the food on the table.

The grilled meats were so delicious, and their mouths were watering.

Shawn took a shrimp, slowly peeled off the shell, and fed it to Nancy, who was looking at him eagerly.

The little girl opened her mouth and ate the fat shrimp.

"It's delicious."

Then she turned to Symon and whispered, "Can Jinx eat?"

Shawn looked at Symon and shook his head. Nancy lowered her eyes and felt a bit sad for Jinx. She was holding her chin with her hands and looked worried. It would be terrible if she couldn't eat so much delicious food.

Seeing that Nancy looked worried, Shawn smiled with relief and stopped teasing her.
