Huanhuan set up a target in the courtyard and practiced archery when she had nothing to do.

She was quite talented in this. Even though she was self-taught, she was good at it.

After practicing for many days, she could shoot eight out of 10 arrows.

During her archery practice, the fruit wine and pickled bamboo shoots she kept in the cellar were finally ready to be consumed.

That night, Bai Di stewed a pot of meat with pickled bamboo shoots and sweet fruit wine. The family ate their fill.

Mayne suddenly came to their door to discuss business.

“I have to go back to Sun City in two days. I want to buy a batch of vegetables and fruits to bring back. Do you still have the bamboo baskets from last time? If you do, I want to buy some more.”

The weather had been getting colder recently, so Bai Di, Sang Ye, and Shuang Yun had not gone out hunting again.

They had been staying at home, making many bamboo baskets.

Bai Di asked, “How many do you want?”

Mayne asked tentatively, “Will a hundred do?”

“That’s too many. I can only give you 50.”

Mayne thought for a moment, then replied forcefully, “50 is fine!”

It was a small number, but it was better than nothing.

50 bamboo baskets were exchanged for ten colorless crystals. In addition, Mayne also purchased a large number of fruits and vegetables, much more than the previous time. He paid two blue crystals for them.

Bai Di put the crystals away. “It’s almost winter,” he said to Mayne. “After you leave this time, you won’t be back until spring, right?”

Mayne nodded. “Yes. The winter weather is too harsh for business. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bought so many fruits and vegetables in one go.”

“It’ll be very cold. You’ll lose consciousness if you’re not careful. It’s very dangerous.”

Mayne had experienced the panic of being frozen. He nodded quickly. “Yes, yes!”

Bai Di said, “We have special water at home that makes the bodies of beasts heat up after drinking it. With it, it should be much easier to survive through winter.”

Mayne’s eyes immediately lit up, and he asked with great interest, “May I ask what water it is, Master? Can I see it?”

Shuang Yun took the fruit wine from the cellar, filled a cup, and handed it to Mayne to try.

As soon as Mayne took the fruit wine, he smelled the sweet scent of fruit.

“There are sweet fruits in here?”

Shuang Yun smiled. “Your nose is quite sharp. We did add sweet fruits.”

The wine made from the sweet fruits was sweet, a little like wine. The alcohol content was not high, but for beasts who had never drunk wine like Mayne, they could savor it for a long time.

Not long after he drank the fruit wine, he felt a little hot.

This would certainly be helpful in winter!

Mayne smelled a business opportunity and immediately asked about buying the fruit wine.

Shuang Yun tapped the clay jar beside him. “A jar of this size for a blue crystal. We can only sell you 10 jars, not one more.”

He asked for a blue crystal per jar. It was really expensive.

But Mayne knew that this wine was indeed worth the price!

Mayne asked tentatively, “A blue crystal for a jar of wine is fine, but aren’t 10 jars too little?”

Shuang Yun smiled and said, “To tell you the truth, it’s not easy to make wine. Our family only made 20 jars this year. We’re giving Bai Di face by giving you 10 jars. If it were anyone else, we’d only sell three jars at most.”

“But 10 jars are really too few. I can give you more crystals. Can you sell me a few more?”

Sang Ye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke in a very cold tone.

“There are only 10 jars. If you don’t want to buy them, you can leave.”

Usually in the Rock Wolf Tribe, Mayne had more dealings with Bai Di and Shuang Yun. He rarely came into contact with Sang Ye.

In his impression, Sang Ye was a very unapproachable male beast. His dark and cold appearance made people feel afraid when they saw him.

When Sang Ye opened his mouth at this moment, a cold aura assaulted Mayne. Mayne was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak again.

He quickly took out 10 blue crystals, then called someone over to quickly move the 10 jars of fruit wine away.

As soon as Mayne left, Huanhuan came out of the kitchen.

When Mayne came to discuss business just now, Huanhuan was pushed into the kitchen by Shuang Yun.

He said, “Leave business matters to the three of us. Don’t show your face.”

Bai Di had the same thought.

Although Mayne had signed a contract not to reveal the truth about the Rock Wolf Tribe, he was an outsider and a mercenary businessman. Bai Di didn’t want him to have too much contact with Huanhuan.

Huanhuan said slowly, “I made 40 jars of fruit wine. We definitely can’t finish them at home. It’s fine even if you sell a few more jars to Mayne.”

Shuang Yun said unhappily, “You brewed the fruit wine yourself. It’s already good enough that we sold him 10 jars!”

Sang Ye said indifferently, “If it were me, I wouldn’t even sell him a jar.”

The fruit wine brewed by the little female belonged only to them. No outsider was qualified to touch it.

Bai Di said helplessly, “In that case, don’t let Huanhuan make wine in the future. We’ll make it. That way, you won’t find it to be a shame anymore, right?”

Shuang Yun agreed readily. “Sure!”

Sang Ye nodded slightly. “Sure.”

Huanhuan had no choice but to sigh. “Up to you.”

Early the next morning, Mayne returned to Sun City with 10 attendants carrying hide bags filled with fruits and vegetables and bamboo baskets of wine.

On the fourth day after they left, it began to snow heavily.

The long winter had finally arrived.

Huanhuan didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that this winter wasn’t as cold as last year. Even the snow outside the mountain wasn’t as thick as last year. She could vaguely see some dead branches sticking out of the snow.

Last year, there was not even a crack, let alone a branch. The thick snow had pressed the forest tightly.

At least there were still cracks in the snow of blanket this year.

Shung Yuan said triumphantly, “This year’s winter is normal. Last year’s winter was colder than before and lasted especially long. Many animals and beasts froze to death in the forest. If you hadn’t been lucky enough to hide in the rock mountain last year, you would’ve been frozen to ice.”

As soon as Huanhuan saw his smug look, she couldn’t help but reach out to touch his head. His short silver-white hair was hard to touch, but it was comfortable.

She smiled. “You saved me and Bai Di. How can I repay you? Maybe tonight—”

Shuang Yun’s eyes lit up. His ears pricked up as he looked at her expectantly.

“You should eat more meat tonight.”

Shuang Yun was speechless.

How could eating meat be considered repayment? No!
