Chapter 575: An Ancient Voice
The cave entrance wasn’t large, but the horse wasn’t tall—lowering its head, it just barely managed to squeeze inside.
Outside, the wind and snow were dark and heavy; inside, the cave was even dimmer.
“You’ve done well.”
Song You removed the pack from the horse’s back, then pulled out a small cloth mat. He touched it—it was icy cold—so he began to rub it hard with both hands until it warmed slightly. Only then did he place it in front of the calico cat. “The ground is cold. Come lie on the mat.”
The cat stared blankly at him, then lowered her head. After thinking for a moment, her expression still dull, she finally crawled up, took two steps forward, and lay down on the mat.
Then she turned her head to look at him again.
“...”
Seeing her like that, the Daoist simply smiled and went on with his work.
He took out wool blankets and mats one by one and laid them on the ground.
The swallow didn’t dare share a small mat with Lady Calico, but it could still burrow into the wool mats and blankets, which offered some protection from the cold.
Knowing there would be no firewood on the mountain, they had brought a bundle of wood on the horse. And since it was also difficult to use spells freely up here, Song You had come well prepared—he had fire-starting materials and tinder all ready.
