Chapter Eleven Hungry Climb a Tree to Dig a Bird's Nest
"Ah! It's finally solved!"
Xue Xichen drew back her bow and let out a long sigh of relief. Once her tense nerves relaxed, she suddenly became exhausted.
Feng Qingge walked up to Xue Xichen and asked, "Xichen, can you let me see your bow?"
"certainly!"
Xue Xichen handed the golden crossbow to Feng Qingge. Feng Qingge took it, held it in her hand, and observed it carefully. Leng Junyi and Feng Bi were curious and came forward. The three of them exclaimed, "What a bow! What a bow!"
Although it is small, it is very tough and is just right for women to use. I have never seen this style of bow before, could it be specially made?"
Xue Xichen said: "This bow was specially made for me by Boss Tie."
"Boss Tie?" Leng Junyi was surprised, "Could it be Boss Tie from Qianjin Iron Shop?! The famous swordsmith of Feng Yu Kingdom?!"
"That's right! It's the Iron Boss!"
Leng Junyi was surprised, "Boss Tie actually helped you make a bow himself?! It's incredible! I heard that Boss Tie's rule is to only forge one sword a year, and this year's sword-making quota was as early as three years ago.
It has already been booked by Master Ren of Mingjian Villa. Aunt Xue, how did you convince Boss Tie to make a bow for you?"
Xue Xichen smiled and replied mischievously: "I cooked a table of delicious dishes for Boss Tie."
"A table of good food?" Leng Junyi was surprised.
"That's right! A table of good food!" Xue Xichen said with a smile, "I bought Boss Tie's stomach with a table of good food."
Xiao Liuyue laughed, rubbed Xue Xichen's head, and said in a doting tone, "Xichen has such ability."
"Ah! Where is my little gold?!"
Suddenly realizing that the Golden Phoenix Fox that had been sticking to her side was missing, Xue Xichen couldn't help but knock her head, secretly complaining that she had just taken care of the safety of Feng Qingge, Xiao Liuyue and others, and actually forgot to take care of the Golden Phoenix Fox. She
Looking around at the blood-stained grass, he shouted loudly, "Little gold—little gold—"
Hey, hey, hey!
Hearing Xue Xichen's call, the golden phoenix fox got its head out of the grass and looked around in fear. Its little nose moved, and the strong smell of blood stung its nostrils. It was afraid and quickly retracted its head.
"Xiao Jinzi! Come here!"
Xue Xichen waved to Jinfenghu with a gentle tone, "Come here! Little Jinzi! Come here to mom!"
Hearing Xue Xichen's call, the golden phoenix fox poked its head out again, looked around to make sure there was no suspicious person. It jumped out of the grass, rushed towards Xue Xichen, got into Xue Xichen's arms, snuggled up greedily, and absorbed
Feeling the warmth on Xue Xichen's body, she kept rubbing her little head.
"Xiao Jinzi, be good——"
Xue Xichen gently stroked the soft hair of the golden phoenix fox, raised her head and said to Feng Qingge: "Now that the carriage is destroyed, how can we get on the road?"
Feng Qingge said: "Let's walk to the nearest market, buy some horses and hit the road."
"go?"
"Walk!"
…
The east is white.
Walking along the winding mountain road, you can see the undulating green mountains in the distance, and you can see a lush green landscape in the distance. The winding mountain road is rugged. There is no human habitation, and occasionally birds fly over. The paw prints in the moist soil are left by wild beasts.
trace.
Xue Xichen stood on a protruding rock, making a small shade in front of her eyes with her palms. Looking into the distance, she asked Feng Qingge, "How far is it from the town?"
Leng Junyi replied: "There are still two days to go."
"That means we have to sleep in the woods for these two days?"
Leng Junyi remained silent.
Feng Bi pushed aside the shrubs, leaned over and carefully searched for traces on the old fallen leaves, looking for wild plants with identifiable directions. He said: "This is southeast, there is nothing wrong! Go straight down this road, and you will reach the nearest place.
Lok Ma Town."
"I'm hungry!"
Xue Xichen touched her hungry belly and muttered listlessly, "I want to eat delicious and hot steamed dumplings..."
The golden phoenix fox lying on Xue Xichen's shoulder seemed to feel the fatigue of its master, and also let out a weak moan, stretched out its little tongue and touched Tian Xue Xichen's cheek.
"Xichen, do you want some water?"
Xiao Liuyue took off the water bag from her waist and handed it to Xue Xichen. Xue Xichen shook her head and expressed disinterest, "I don't want water... I want Xiaolongbao..."
Xiao Liuyue frowned. He really didn't understand why Xue Xichen was so fond of Xiao Long Bao.
"Xichen, in the wild mountains and forests here, where can I find Xiao Long Bao for you?"
"Xiao Long Bao... I want to eat Xiao Long Bao... Xiao Long Bao..."
Xue Xichen groaned repeatedly and sadly, her big weak eyes stared at Xiao Liuyue unblinkingly, and reiterated sadly, "Xiao Long Bao... Fragrant and hot Xiao Long Bao..."
Xiao Liuyue's eyebrows twitched, and he was speechless to Xue Xichen. He patted his forehead with a headache, and sighed helplessly, "Xichen, please stop tormenting me! Where can there be Xiaolongbao in this barren mountain and wild forest!"
Among the forest leaves, birds chirped and flapped their wings from time to time and flew over their heads. Feng Bi looked up at the birds flying by, and suddenly suggested, "Can we go up the tree and dig out the bird's nest?"
"Take out the bird's nest?"
Xiao Liuyue's face was covered with black lines. He didn't want to do something so ungraceful and without manners! It was so embarrassing!
"It's good to dig out bird's nests!" Xue Xichen felt her hungry belly and felt energetic. "Anyway, there are many birds and beasts in this forest. We can go up to the trees to dig out bird's nests and find eggs to satisfy our hunger."
Xiao Liuyue stroked his forehead, Feng Qingge was speechless, Leng Junyi touched his chest, took out a cloth bag and handed it to Xue Xichen, "There is some dry food here, you should eat some first to fill your stomach."
Xue Xichen glanced at the dry food in Leng Junyi's hand, wrinkled her nose, and muttered: "Where can the hard food be without the tender and delicious bird eggs? I suddenly want to eat roasted bird eggs..."
Xiao Liuyue "..."
Feng Qingge "..."
Leng Junyi "..."
Feng Bi pushed aside a clump of weeds and saw the footprints of wild beasts in the soil. He made a rough estimate and said to Feng Qingge: "Your Majesty, the footprints of wild beasts around here have begun to increase. I guess, otherwise, we will reach an open area soon."
Otherwise, we are almost close to the water source."
Like Feng Bi, Leng Junyi leaned down to check the footprints of beasts in the soil. He took a few steps back and looked at the footprints in the other direction. Soon, he made a judgment, "There are many and deep footprints on this land, and they overlap one after another.
It's blurry, and I can't tell what animals are passing by. The footsteps on this land are few and shallow, and some even leave no traces. It can be seen that the humidity of this land is higher than this one. I estimate that it is not far ahead here.
There is water everywhere, and the direction of these footprints is towards the water."
"There is water!" Xue Xichen clapped her hands and said happily, "Where there is water, there will be rivers! Where there are rivers, you can catch fresh and delicious fish! Yeah! Let's go fishing!"
Finally able to get Xue Xichen to give up the idea of going up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, Xiao Liuyue said cooperatively: "Let's go ahead and have a look!"
