Hu Li spend most of her time reading. Sometimes she takes walk outside the snow. She sometimes come across some animals. Some frighten, some ferocious. However when she approach with her tail shown, they don't seems to be frighten any more. They follow her to the snow cave and become her friends and family. They realised that she doesn't eat nor drink plus she doesn't force them to stay behind with her. Thus, they learn not to be afraid of her even though she is unusual according to their knowledge. Hu Li during this period doesn't talk at all. She smile a lot and play with them. There is a particular rabbit that she is fond of. She is reminded of her old friend on the moon. They hop the same way like they are injured. Hu Li put the rabbit in a pouch like Chang'er did many years ago. She carry the rabbit in her pouch and walk around her sanction.
One day when the sky is not that grey and the snow is not heavy. Hu Li and her little friends goes outside to play. She help them to find berries and put them in her basket. She is happily plucking them till one wolf comes up to her and nudge her to follow him. She put down her basket and follow him. They walk awhile till she see a figure cover by the snow. That figure is leaning on a tree. The only thing she can see is the finger tips with some long dark red nails are raise up. With her bare feet, she kick the person. Some of the snow are knock off from the head with the kick. She see his hair and bit of the eyebrows. The rabbit grunt loudly in the pouch as it watch with its big eyes. Hu Li decide that she should brush off the snow and check if this person is still alive. As she brush off the snow, his face is reveal to her. A young man with slashes all over his face and maybe body. He smells like a human. Slowly Hu Li dust off the remaining snow. He is indeed fill with dry blood allover him.
Slowly she pull him by his arms towards the cave home. The rest of the animals follow them from behind. Lucky for Hu Li, he is not that heavy. However because of the snow accumulating below the human, he got harder to drag. It takes her a long time to get him into the cave. Finally she have him roll on the blanket and drag it to the couch. She lift him up and put him down carefully. The bats living in the cave are surprise to see another two legged person. They fly around the cave and squeaks loudly. While the deer nearby is resting get up to see what is going on. Hu Li goes off to fetch warm water. She to see the deer licking the face of the young man. She gently pat it and the deer stop. She put down the warm bucket of water. Hu Li push his hair away from his face. Some are paste on his wounds so she remove them slowly as possible. With his wet hair push back, she slowly clean his face. His wounds on his face are deep. Hu Li remember there is a spell that is able to heal wounds but she can't recall the enchantments. Thus she thinks it is best to heal it with medicine. Since she got books on healing by herbs. She remove the blooded stain clothes. Some parts of it are stuck on his wounds. It takes time to remove everything. After careful cleaning him from head to toe, she cover him with the blanket. She walk over to the kitchen and make some vegetable meal for her animals. The wolf doesn't eat it hence it will leave the cave and return tomorrow. After she make their meals, she walk over to the book shelves and look for the book for healing wounds.
It takes her three days to know what to find in the forest for the wounded man. She gather as much herbs she can. With the snow knee deep, she walk with care. She hear the howling of the wind in her ears. Her memories brings her back when she is all alone in her birth place. Hu Li remember when the days pass by without her knowing. Now she is back to a place similar to the moon. However this time, she have company.
Hu Li pound the herbs as per the book have written. She brings it outside the cave and pound with her might. It hurts her knuckles. However she is not stopping. The squirrel who is watching hold it's fist. It feel the pain in its fist. Even the deer feel the pain get up and walk away. After a long time, she stop to see the herbs have actually break down and there are juice coming out of it. She smile and look at her poor knuckle. Hu Li wonder why human pound herbs in this way. She wash her hands and pick up the herbs. Pouring in a pot to boil the all different types of herbs together. She peek inside to see the wounded stranger is still on the couch. She sigh and look at his dirty blooded garments. The rabbit is thumping it's little feet. Hu Li pat the rabbit. She brings the garment to a nearby pond. She doesn't know how to wash clothes, so she dip them in and out the water till there is no blood. After that she brings them into the cave house and hand it around the chairs. She check the wounded man, he is still asleep. Hu Li slowly move her head down to lay on his chest. She listen to the heart beat. It have the same familiar beat, It sound like Di Jun's heart, she miss him so.
