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."NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
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.
He handed her a bowl of porridge and said, "I made the porridge. He can have some."
Nancy's eyes lit up. "You're amazing!" she said.
Then she ran to Symon with the delicious porridge.
The porridge Shawn made smelled so good that even Ewen and Andre wanted to try some.
"Jinx, please eat something."
The porridge had cooled a little, but it was still warm, fragrant, and not greasy at all.
Symon took the bowl of porridge and pressed his lips together. Then he ate some of it under Nancy's concerned eyes.
The mushy porridge was thicker than water and easy to digest. Even with a tube in his stomach, Jinx could have more.
Watching Symon finish the porridge, Nancy ran back with the bowl.
Then Shawn and Ivan fed Nancy.
With two enthusiastic Russians here, they had a good night.
Andre brought vodka, Russia's tipple.
"How can you eat meat without drinking alcohol? Come on buddy. Here's a bottle of vodka for you."
Andre stuffed a bottle of vodka into Shawn's arms, then took another bottle out for Ivan and Sean.
"You are still young, so you will share one bottle."
Ivan and Sean were shocked.
They couldn't drink.
One of them didn't drink, and the other had some bad memories of alcohol.
Shawn said, "They are still young."
Andre waved his hand and said, "You have to practice drinking from a young age. They can do it now."
Shawn had a headache, but he still took away the alcohol from Ivan and Sean.
"No, children can't drink. It won't be healthy for them. I will drink with you."
Then he opened the bottle and drank from it.
Seeing that Shawn was so forthright, Andre didn't bother much. He also held a bottle and gulped it.
Shawn was gallant when he drank wine, and he looked more handsome under the dancing fire.
But Nancy was worried about him.
Too much alcohol was bad for health.
Shawn was a surprisingly good drinker. When he drank with Andre, Shawn filled the milk for his cousins.
Sean stayed in the corner.
He loved to drink juice and thought that milk was for children.
They sat around the table, with three people drinking wine, three people drinking milk, and one person sitting in silence doing nothing. Symon looked relaxed.
The dinner lasted for a long while, and Andre and Ewen were a little drunk, but they didn't forget to feed the dogs.
Ewen gave Shawn a thumbs-up when he came back.
"You can hold your liquor!"
Shawn did not answer. He sat upright and looked at Andre and Ewen coldly, having a strong aura that no one dared to look at him.
Andre was so scared that he burped.
"Ewen, he looked a bit scary."
Ewen answered, "I feel the same."
Nancy didn't notice anything wrong and was talking to Symon about when they could see the aurora.
"Who are you?" Shawn looked at Ewen and Andre and asked coldly in Russian.
Ewen and Andre were stunned.
They wondered if Shawn was drunk.
Suddenly, Shawn stood up and fought Ewen and Andre.
Everyone was stunned.
Nancy looked over with a shocked look on her face and didn't know what had happened.
In an instant, Shawn, apparently not as strong as Andre, knocked down Andre and Ewen.
Shawn asked in a cold voice, "Are you trying to kidnap my brothers and cousin?"
Both of them were dumbfounded.
They thought that Shawn was wasted.
After dealing with them, Shawn stood up and slowly wiped his hand nobly.
"You're too weak to kidnap them."
His tone and manner showed his disdain toward Ewen and Andre.
Ewen and Andre were wronged, but they dared not answer back.
"Ewen, Andre, are you all right?" Nancy whispered.
Andre didn't understand, but Ewen said, "We're fine."
They got Shawn drunk, and they shouldn't blame him.
"Nancy, come here. Don't stay close to the bad guys."
Shawn quickly took Nancy away.
Andre and Ewen felt speechless.
They didn't understand why Shawn would take them as bad guys when he got drunk.
Andre joked with Ewen, "Your friend looked weak. But I didn't expect him to be a fierce fighter."
Andre and Ewen had even fought a bear.
Ewen said, "He was a black belt in judo when we were in college. No one else in our school could beat him up. And you're lucky that he didn't have a scalpel in his hand, or we'd both suffer."
Andre was shocked. "Is he that terrible?"
