Chapter 497: No, You Didn't...
Although Xu Qing didn't bring much luggage along the way, he still brought some dry food for emergencies.
Originally, Xu Qing planned to let Xiao Ruxue watch the fire here, and then go hunt some prey by himself, and roast it with dry food to deal with it.
But after walking around in the woods, Xu Qing felt that he overestimated his own level.
There were no large prey around this forest. Of course, fortunately, there was none, and he would not be able to hunt any of them. Since there were no large prey, Xu Qing had no choice but to find some small prey.
At this time, the problem came again, he couldn't catch up with small prey such as rabbits at all, he took things, and ran too fast, and it was dark, Xu Qing was not good at tracking, and he disappeared without paying attention.
Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who was empty-handed, stood up and patted his shoulder, and said, "Look at the fire."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxue took off the bow and arrow from the horse, and walked into the woods with the own snow sword on his back.
Xu Qing looked at the little girl who entered the woods, would she still be hunting?
Xu Qing expressed doubts.
But before Xu Qing could finish his doubts, he heard the sound of bows and arrows "cluster--", and then Xu Qing saw Xiao Ruxue walking from the woods with a rabbit in his hand.
"Xu Qing Xu Qing! Hurry up and roast the rabbit!"
...
That's why there was a scene of the two snuggling up to warm the fire. Of course, Xu Qing who was roasting a rabbit and Xiao Ruxue who was snuggling next to Xu Qing didn't know that they had just escaped a group of bandits.
Of course, if they knew about this, they would not feel lucky, and would even feel very sorry and hate the bandits for their lack of vision.
Could it be that the tens of thousands of taels of silver bills on the two of them can't compare with that caravan?
...
Xiao Ruxue sat quietly on the rock next to Xu Qing, resting her cheeks with both hands, watching Xu Qing turn the rabbit on the simple grill, her little nose moved from time to time: "Yeah, it smells so good!"
Xu Qing used a dagger to cut off a thin piece of meat that was almost roasted on the outside and sent it to the mouth of the little princess next to him who was waiting for food.
Xiao Ruxue chewed the barbecue meat, ate another piece of dry food that was roasted by Xu Qing and turned golden, and finally took a sip of the mountain spring water in the water bag, a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on her cute face.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue, who was satisfied just because he ate a piece of barbecue and dry food, and couldn't help laughing.
Not looking for delicacies from mountains and seas, nor delicacies on jade plates, just a piece of ordinary roasted rabbit meat can be eaten with such relish.
Princess Yongle is definitely the most well-supported lady he has ever seen.
not far away
The shadow guard, who was snorting and gnawing dry food, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva when he smelled the aroma of Xu Qing's roasted rabbits.
The leader doesn't do anything that touches people!
Thinking so, they took another bite of dry food...
...
A dozen bandits in night clothes lurking on the hillside stopped to swallow their saliva. Grandma, the couple who seemed to have eloped just now roasted the rabbit so deliciously that they tortured them to death. This area can be regarded as unscented, so I can concentrate on grabbing things.
One of the bandits looked at the crowd below who were setting up tents, and at the goods parked by the roadside guarded by caravan guards, and asked, "Master, why don't we do it?"
The head of the household shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."
The bandit was puzzled and asked, "Why?"
The head of the family said: "Those who do great things must be able to endure loneliness. How can they continue to kill in such a ruthless way? How is it different from those gangsters with strong limbs and simple minds?"
The bandit minion scratched his head: "Aren't bandits and robbers both robbers?"
The head of the family knocked on the bandit's head and said: "You stupid, look at the caravan guards below, the number of them is not much worse than ours, if you don't follow the rules at this time and rush to kill them, will you rob them or kill them?" Someone robbed you?"
The bandit minion asked; "The big boss, when are we going to rush down?"
The head of the family said: "Of course, we will wait until they have set up their tents. At that time, there will be few guards left outside. Then we will rush down. According to the terrain, we are called condescending and powerful. According to the combat power, our number accounts excellent."
Although the bandit didn't understand what the big boss said, he flattered him: "The big boss is so cunning, if he goes to the army, it must be luck... luck... anyway, it's the big general..."
The head of the family had a black line on his face: "That's called strategizing."
The bandit, hey, smiled and said, "Your master, I haven't read a book."
Another bandit said: "The master, since we still have to wait here, why don't we snatch those two people before coming here?"
Before the head of the family could speak, another black-clothed bandit said: "You are stupid, if you rob them, won't they startle the snake by screaming? What if the big fish is let go?"
...
campfire
A rabbit with some dry food is enough for two people to have a full meal. Two horses, one black and one white, shield the two from the cold wind blowing behind them. From time to time, they lower their heads to eat grass on the ground. .
Because they slept on the side of a desolate path today and missed the post hotel, the two horses couldn't find decent horse grass, not to mention concentrate feed, so they had to deal with it like this, and let them eat some more tomorrow OK.
After filling the stomach, the night is already dark.
Xu Qing took off her robe and put it on Xiao Ruxue's body, saying: "It's cold at night, wear more, don't catch the wind and cold."
Xu Qing's robe was a bit too big for Xiao Ruxue, Xiao Ruxue looked at Xu Qing who had already put on the robe and sat aside and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
Xu Qing said: "I'm not afraid of the cold, you're almost ready to dress, you are more susceptible to diseases than me at your age."
Xu Qing was talking with Xiao Ruxue while adding firewood to the bonfire.
Camping outside requires someone to keep watch, and two people cannot rest, there is always one person who needs to add fuel to the camp.
Just when Xu Qing was about to speak again, the First Stage suddenly appeared on her shoulder, and the little girl had already fallen asleep breathing steadily.
Xu Qing stretched out one hand to stop Xiao Ruxue's shoulders to prevent her from sleeping dishonestly and falling backward, and with the other hand, she held a branch to fiddle with the bonfire.
not far away
The shadow guard, who was hiding in the dark and guarding everywhere, couldn't help but froze when he saw the two people by the campfire. The prince's favorite princess fell asleep on the shoulder of their leader? !
At this moment, the captain came over and asked, "Is there a vision?"
The shadow guard couldn't help pointing to the two people at the bonfire, and said hesitantly: "School...Sir Captain, my subordinates saw the commander and princess...he...they..."
Such a situation made the Shadow Guard, who had always been in front of the landslide without changing his face, a little speechless.
"What happened to the princess and the commander?" Lieutenant Xuanjia looked impatiently at the bonfire.
When Lieutenant Xuanjia saw the scene at the campfire, he couldn't help being surprised:
Long live! Why is the princess hugging the commander!
The shadow guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "This subordinate sees the princess and the commander hugging..."
Captain Xuanjia quickly covered the shadow guard's mouth: "No, you didn't..."
