Chapter 196 Snow Arrows

"..."

The response to her was a long silence.

Although Xie Wei's face was pale, he leaned against the dark rocks, but his body was slightly tense. His calm posture was like a beast ready to attack, and his sharp gaze was almost like a sword falling towards her in an instant.

Jiang Xuening didn't take it seriously.

She waited for a while, only to see that although Xie Wei's face was extremely ugly, he slowly clenched the bow and arrow in his other hand, without any real intention of making any move.

So he let out a hiss.

I'm sorry he can't do such a thing, and I'm too lazy to bother him anymore. I walked straight towards the forest by the stream, leaving only one sentence: "I'll find some food to eat."

The world is really strange.

In her previous life, she had nowhere to go. At night, she picked up soup and recommended a pillow to the high sitting Grand Tutor. As a result, someone smiled at her like smoke and dust, asking her to "take it seriously"; In this life, she had self-awareness and avoided this shining sage like a snake or scorpion. Unexpectedly, the person's soul inexplicably lingered, and it was her turn to mock and ridicule.

Jiang Xuening had an idea in her heart——

What kind of nonsense about cooking!

In this vast mountain wilderness, although few people can be found, food is not impossible to find.

When she was young on the farm, she liked to play around.

I have some thoughts about what can and cannot be eaten.

Following the stream, I didn't dare to go too deep and only searched at the edge of the mountains and forests. Fortunately, I found a few edible berries that I could even pick on tiptoe.

She took a bite and carried the rest in her arms.

Although this trip was not long, it was not short. When I returned, I saw a skinned and dirty wild rabbit lying on the rock. There was a faint smell of blood by the flowing mountain stream below. Xie Wei's bow and arrow were placed aside, and the blood on one arrow had not dried up. It was obvious that the unlucky wild rabbit had been pulled out not long ago. And he himself sat casually by the newly lit fire, holding a short knife in his hand and slowly cutting off the branches and leaves growing on a hard bamboo joint.

That short knife

Jiang Xuening has never seen her along the way.

A long time ago, she had seen and even used it.

She walked over and put down the berry she was holding in her arms. She glanced at the skinned rabbit, frowned secretly, but didn't put any beak on it. She just sat next to the fire and picked up the berry she had previously gnawed on, saying, "Sir, this knife hasn't been changed for years."

Xie Wei didn't speak, shaved the bamboo, and then picked up the wild rabbit to put on.

Jiang Xuening looked away and said, "Aren't you more at ease as a cook than tinkering in the court?"

Xie Wei glanced at her but still didn't answer.

Jiang Xuening remained silent.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the two of them had escaped the night. They were already exhausted and hungry, sitting silently beside the fire, watching the rabbit gradually being licked by the flames.

Everything appears quiet.

It seems that the recent dark tide and sharp confrontation have never happened at all.

They all know that——

Wild mountains and ridges, people are like wild beasts.

Here, there are neither Miss Jiang nor any young master Xie Wei. In the face of life and death, no one is more noble than anyone, and no one needs to be afraid of anyone. Even with thousands of troops and horses in hand, the wealth of wealth and wealth is now nothing more than a single person, living alone. Even those grudges, hates, loves, resentments, are like the mist of this morning, drifting and misty towards the horizon.

When Jiang Xuening took the rabbit leg handed over by Xie Wei, she politely said thank you.

There is not much oil, salt, sauce, or vinegar in the wild mountains and ridges.

The rabbit is roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with excellent heat. Its golden surface is coated with a layer of oil. Tearing off a piece and eating it in your mouth gives you a better taste of the meat. You can also vaguely taste the pine wood fragrance that comes with the burning pine branches below.

She almost ate her own finger.

Although it is indeed difficult to compare it to when there is seasoning, it can already be considered the most exquisite taste in the world at this time and under this scenery.

Over the years, Xie Wei can be considered a high-ranking official in the court. As the saying goes, a gentleman can cook far away, but unfortunately, his skills have not declined?

After eating half full, Jiang Xuening couldn't help but glance at him.

Xie Wei had already stepped on the fire and extinguished it, sweeping it along with the traces of the fire into the stream. He stood up indifferently and said, "Once you eat well, let's go."

Jiang Xuening watched as he tied the short knife back to his wrist, picked up the bow and arrow, and wiped it clean along with the arrow that had hit the rabbit before, putting it back into the arrow pouch.

Just the blood hole on the index finger joint is still somewhat prominent.

She is really afraid that this person will die on the road.

So he said, "Is your wound really okay?"

Xie Wei said, "If it weren't for you causing trouble, it would have healed now."

Jiang Xuening: "..."

She choked for a moment and smiled, "I thought Mr. had fainted from poison."

Xie Wei looked back and said, "Just sit down and rest."

After finishing speaking, he said, "If you can distinguish between fainting and rest, perhaps that little bit of three legged medical skills can save a few people from harm."

Oh, it's all her fault.

For some reason, Jiang Xuening looked at his lukewarm and indifferent appearance, very irritable. After enduring for a while, I suppressed the urge to argue with him and picked up three or two leftover berries on the ground, following him forward.

The two of them waded through the mountain stream and entered the forest on the other side.

The days on the road are really boring.

As the old saying goes, "I hope the mountain can run a dead horse.". Xie Wei previously said that after walking through this mountain, one can reach Jinan Prefecture. But this mountain and wilderness may not seem very far at first glance, but when you walk, you can't even see your head for three to five days.

Although Jiang Xuening didn't spoil her temper at this moment, her body wasn't very capable of enduring hardship.

On the third day, there were already blisters on the soles of the feet.

Even if she doesn't want to drag people down, it's difficult for her to walk fast.

On this day, they will climb over the ridge of a mountain.

The mountain terrain is quite steep.

After taking a few steps up, she broke out in a cold sweat and her feet became soft. If it weren't for Xie Wei holding her by the side, she might have fallen down.

Jiang Xuening could not help smiling bitterly, looked up into the sky, hid deep anxiety, and said to Xie Wei: "The border is waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation. His Royal Highness Royal Highness Princess Chang is in danger. I am a waste, and this journey is difficult. You take me with you, just for fear of making it worse. It's better for you to leave me here and go to Jinan House first. I will be in the mountains, and I will not walk around. You can send someone to find me when you take care of things."

Xie Wei remained silent and only tugged hard at his own hem.

With a hiss.

He tore off a piece of the already stained snow-white Taoist robe and tied it directly to Jiang Xuening's hand. Then, he tightly tied the other end to his wrist, his face sinking like water, and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Xuening thinks this person is sick.

Clearly, what she proposed was the best solution.

But Xie Wei didn't even consider or pay attention to her, so he grabbed her hand and walked forward with her.

However, what they were most afraid of was still what happened——

At the moment they struggled to stand on the ridge, the new wind howled towards them!

To the north, the sky is shrouded in bright clouds.

Climbing high and looking far, it was clear that there should be a vast expanse, but at this moment, Jiang Xuening felt a suffocation and heaviness like the pressure of a large army.

She looked at Xie Wei.

Xie Weili stood in the wind, hunting in his Taoist robe, only looking at the clouds that came from all over the sky.

The fundus of the eyes was unusually clear.

As if the deeply buried dust and haze were swept away by the cold wind.

She heard his calm and indifferent voice: "Ning Er, it's going to snow."
