The real awakening was when I was awakened by the alluring aroma of meat.
When she opened her eyes, Yan Susu saw a cave. The walls of the cave were covered with moss and were a little damp. She was lying on a withered straw shop, covered with a snow-white brocade dress, and placed a cowhide kettle.
On the other side, there is a burning flame.
On the fire, there was an iron pot with a hare in it, which was being stewed. The meat was so fragrant that it made people salivate.
The aroma of meat that awakened Yan Susu was wafting from the iron pot. Smelling the aroma, Yan Susu felt hungry. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand, wanting to tear some of the rabbit to eat, but suddenly she seemed to feel something.
What was looking at her, she raised her head suddenly.
Sure enough, there was something above. To be more precise, it was not an object but a person. To be more precise, it was a man dressed in white and outshining the snow.
Above the cave, there is a small naturally formed cave that looks like a small bed. The man is lying on it, leaning sideways and supporting half of his head, looking at Yan Susu leisurely.
Seeing that Yan Susu finally discovered his existence, he curved the corners of his lips and chuckled: "Finally woke up!"
His smile was extremely gentle, giving people a feeling of warmth like a spring breeze. However, at a certain moment, Yan Susu inadvertently thought of Die Guxian's smile.
"You saved me?"
"Yes!" The man jumped down from the cave wall with a single leap, and stood next to Yan Susu, "You must be hungry. It has been stewed for a long time. Eat!"
As he spoke, the man took out a pair of silver chopsticks from the bag on his waist and handed them to Yan Susu's hand.
When Yan Susu heard this, she didn't care about being an elegant lady anymore. She took the chopsticks and started to eat the rabbit in the pot.
After eating until he was five minutes full, he finally paid homage to the temple of the five internal organs. Yan Susu smiled apologetically and stopped: "I'm really hungry. I'm telling you a joke."
"I slept for three days and three nights. I drank some water during that period. It's strange that I'm not hungry." The man still chuckled, his smile was still warm, and he didn't have any objection to Yan Susu because of her ugly appearance.
Yan Susu was surprised: "Three days and three nights?"
"I picked you up from the Zhi River. You were cold all over and your breath was free. I gave you some pills I brought with me and finally saved your life. However, the coldness of the river accumulated in your body and may have invaded the five internal organs.
The six internal organs need to be cured by finding a good doctor in the city."
Seeing that Yan Susu's mouth was full of food, the man took out a piece of handkerchief from his waist and handed it to Yan Susu's eyes.
Yan Susu smiled sheepishly at him, took the handkerchief, and caught a glimpse of a black eagle on the handkerchief, with the word Xiao Yao embroidered below it.
"What's your name?" Yan Susu stretched out the veil, raised her chin slightly, and gestured to the two words.
The man nodded: "Ren Xiaoyao, my full name, what about you?"
"Yan Susu!"
"How did you fall into the water? I see some blood on your clothes. Were you being hunted?"
He lowered his head and looked at his clothes. There were indeed some blood stains on the skirt and skirt. Although it had been washed away by the river, there were still faint pink traces.
Thinking of the assassination that day, Yan Susu was worried about Ji Mo and wondered if she was safe.
Of course, I also thought about the comfort of other people's lives, including the Queen Mother's.
"It's not that I was being chased, it's that I was killed by mistake. A few days ago, when I passed the official road, I saw two groups of people fighting. One group seemed to be the soldiers of the imperial court. I couldn't dodge and was involved. In order to survive, I had to jump into the river.
Survive. Did you hear anything about that fight?"
Wanting to ask Ren Xiaoyao about the situation that day, but not being able to reveal his identity, Yan Susu could only set herself up as an outsider who was accidentally involved.
Xiaoyao was not suspicious at all, maybe because Yan Susu didn't look like those dead soldiers, nor did he look like someone from the palace.
"I saw the remnant scene while passing by. There were many dead people. The ground was full of corpses. You are right. One team was indeed from the imperial court. They escorted those who went to Xiling to guard the late emperor's mausoleum that day. The other team is unknown.
Yes." Ren Xiaoyao recalled what he saw that day, threw a wooden stick into the fire, and looked at Yan Susu again, "But it's night, why are you there?"
Yan Susu smiled calmly, followed his example, and threw away the wooden stick to stir up the fire: "I went to the capital to join my relatives. I thought I would be safe in officialdom, so I only brought a maid with me. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
My maid doesn't know whether she's alive or dead. When I feel better, I'll go check it out."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, looked at the half of the rabbit left in the iron pot, and asked Yan Susu: "Don't want to eat?"
"I'm full, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? For saving my life, or for giving me food?"
"Everything! If I hadn't been saved by you, I would have been exposed in the wilderness long ago. If I hadn't been given the food by you, I would have become a starving and lonely soul. For all of this, I am really grateful to you."
Yan Susu thanked her sincerely, and Ren Xiaoyao smiled softly.
Then he stood up, tied the cowhide kettle to his waist, jumped up on the "small bed" on the cave wall, took out a baggage, and placed it next to Yan Susu: "This place is still a long way from the capital. You can take this baggage with you."
With you, there are some expenses and some dry food, enough for you to walk to the nearest county, rent a carriage and go to Beijing to find your bride. I have something to do, and I am in the opposite direction to you. I can't escort you to Beijing. I'll say goodbye. Your body, remember
You must go to the hospital for treatment to avoid cold syndrome."
She woke up without thinking, and he was about to leave. When she heard him say, "I'm going in the opposite direction to you," Yan Susu understood. He was afraid that he was going to the west for business and met her dying on the way, so he saved her along the way, and
I was delayed for two or three days because of her.
This is such a warm ancient road. Yan Susu was very grateful and hurriedly got up to send him off: "I will never forget the grace of saving my life. If we meet again one day and I can be of any use, I will do my best and never give up."
"Goodbye, see you later!" Ren Xiaoyao said goodbye, walked to the entrance of the cave, took a little step, and soon disappeared into the heavy mist, as ethereal as an immortal, as light as the wind.
Yan Susu looked at his disappearing back, and the strings in her heart were suddenly touched, and she made a loud and clear sound!
