C63 (1/2)
After getting rid of Liu Xiaolan, Liu Dao Xiang quickened her pace, and quickly rushed towards the back mountain.
Liu Xiaolan looked at her skinny back and couldn't help but spit. She scolded in a low voice: ”Poor thing, a useless thing, only fit to be my servant girl.”
”Where is he?”
The corner of Liu Dao Xiang's mouth twitched.
Too cold.
”It's all your fault. If you weren't so good-looking, would I have been stopped by my aunt?” Can you hold this old man back for a long time? ”
He could not admit that he had been delayed by something else.
Su Ziye had obviously seen through her, but what did she mean by those words? Was he admitting that he was good-looking?
In an instant, it was like a bowl of ice-cold sour plum soup in the dead heat of the night. It was so comfortable that it caused his heart to tremble.
Seeing that she was smart, Su Ziye decided to let her go.
”Lead the way.”
If he wasn't angry with her, he couldn't make her be cocky either.
Still wearing a handsome face, he pointed to the mountain.
Liu Dao Xiang immediately listened to him like a dog and led the way obediently.
He picked up a long branch from the side of the road and scanned the bushes in front of him. ”Can you hit your prey?” he asked casually. What do you want to fight? ”
”What is it!”
After a while, when Liu Dao Xiang thought that he would not answer, his cold voice came from behind.
”Wild chicken, wild rabbit, or the occasional wild boar that comes from other hills. But the wild boar is too big to carry back, so why don't we call some mountain rats? This restaurant is very expensive, and I heard that the mountain rat's meat is very delicious.”
Mountain Rat? Did she like it?
”It depends on luck!” After thinking for a moment, he still answered. If he could shoot them down, he would hunt more mountain mice. If he couldn't, he would hunt some pheasants, wild rabbits, or ask his dark guards to get more mountain mice?
Behind him, Su Ziye stared at the little girl who was walking around happily, his heart thinking about the possibility of letting the hidden guards do the same.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it would be more convenient to call the dark guards. These people usually received special training, and since they were good at living in the mountains, catching mountain rats shouldn't be a difficult task.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that he didn't recognize the mountain rat.
Liu Dao Xiang who was leading the way did not consider this issue at all, since she knew Chicken and Rabbit.
While heading towards the mountains, he would also pick some mushrooms at the same time.
As he walked and stopped, Su Ziye raised his head and looked towards the sky. He was extremely thankful that he had sent the hidden guards to look for prey.
Liu Dao Xiang ran around the mountains happily, she would pick two wooden ears whenever she saw one, eating fresh ones would easily cause allergic reactions, but, if she made minced meat and wood ear soup after drying and used some chopped onion, it would be so fragrant that she could take off her tongue.
She didn't notice that ever since the two of them entered the mountain, they hadn't met a pheasant or a hare.
In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. She had picked half a basket of mushrooms and fungus from her basket.
After finding a place to sit down, Liu Dao Xiang put down the basket and reached out to pat the empty spot beside her, then raised her head and laughed: ”Quickly come sit down, your legs are almost broken. If it wasn't for you accompanying me, I wouldn't dare to walk this far.”
The sunlight passed through the tree branches and scattered on her small face. Sweat dripped down her temples, and her pale face had a tinge of red.
Su Ziye was very happy, this way she was very energetic, it made people feel like they did not come to this world for nothing.
This made him feel that all the girls he had met were like stagnant water, with bottomless depths.
Seeing that he was standing motionlessly, Liu Dao Xiang laughed and scolded: ”Why are you still in a daze, come and rest quickly, although it's a little cold, but it's still hot, it shouldn't have any effect on your wound.”
”Yes.” Hearing her chattering, Su Ziye's mood also became cheerful.
After seeing her take out the things in the basket, she took out the things in the banana leaf bag from the bottom of the basket and took out the bamboo tube hanging beside the basket. She asked, ”Why are you picking so many things?”
”Eat, there's still some fresh meat at home, I'll take it back to make a soup. This black one is wood fungus, but the fresh one doesn't taste very good. We'll have to cook it after drying it before it tastes good.”
Liu Dao Xiang could not explain the allergic reaction, and only made an excuse to say that it was not good.
”You were happy just because you picked these things?” Su Ziye liked to see her smiling so much that her eyes curved into slits.
”Yes, it's delicious.” Liu Dao Xiang replied with a smile. Mushroom broth was very fresh.
Su Ziye thought, so the delicious food could make her happy.
She recalled what she had seen and heard back in the capital. She had never been as happy as those beautiful ladies.
