Night has completely fallen. Although it is a good night with no rain or wind, there is no moon in the sky, not even a crescent moon. In the dense forest, you can't even see your fingers, but for Shangguan Yuntian, it does not affect his eyesight.
The two returned to the carriage together, where a fire had been lit. Nangong Zui and Shan Rong were sitting by the fire. I don't know what Nangong Zui said. Shan Rong was shaking her head gently, and the firelight was printed on her face, looking so...
It was so dazzling that Nangong Zui stared at her in a daze. It wasn't until Xi'er deliberately made a heavy footsteps that he suddenly raised his head and looked at the two of them. When he saw the two of them, he immediately stood up.
Shan Rong also wanted to get up, "Let me help..."
"You're injured." Nangong Zui interrupted Shan Rong's attempt to help, but he came up to him. "I'll come."
Nangong Zui had no chance to help, because Uncle Ma, the coachman who had just fed and tied up the horse, came up to meet him, so he also took the rabbit and pheasant that Nangong Zui had just taken.
Xi'er did not refuse, Shangguan Yuntian just nodded to Uncle Ma, found a flat place to settle Xi'er, took the fruit from her hand, and went to the waterside not far away to wash her clothes.
After drying it, he put it back in Xi'er's arms.
Xi'er took two and handed them to Nangong Zui and Shan Rong respectively. She took another one and stuffed it into Shangguan Yuntian's mouth, leaving another one for Uncle Ma. Uncle Ma came back soon, holding the cleaned rabbit in his hand.
and pheasant. They scurryed very neatly and put them on the fire to roast. Xi'er watched him move a small box out of the carriage, which contained various seasonings...
"Master, madam..." Shan Rong looked at Xi'er with some shame, her face lowered. She originally wanted to stay with her benefactor as a slave, but now, as Xi'er said, they not only want to provide for her
Eat, drink, and take care of her... The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was really incompetent, and I couldn't help but become more frustrated.
"Miss Shan, you don't need to be so polite. You are Mr. Nangong's guest now." Xi'er smiled and put all the responsibility for Shan Rong on Nangong Zui.
"But……"
"Mr. Nangong, how far is the next town? Is the injury on Miss Shan's foot okay?" Xi'er quickly brought up Nangong Zui and changed the topic.
