Chapter 471: The Heartless Regent King vs. the Scheming Princess 16
She had no sense of pain, so she didn't notice the discomfort.
Why wouldn't this relative come at any other time? He really doesn't know how to pick the right time.
Really are.
She wanted to deal with it before Xie Zhao came back. Just as she slowly got up, Xie Zhao came back.
He put the hare aside, walked to Lu Zhihuan, and sniffed it lightly with his nose twitching.
[The smell of blood is so strong.]
[Are you still bleeding from wounds?]
Lu Zhihuan (pretending to be) shy and shook his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito, "No."
Xie Zhao was confused.
[If you get injured, you must treat it immediately, otherwise you might attract some wild wolves.]
Not to scare her.
"Got it." Lu Zhihuan was annoyed by his nagging and turned to walk out.
Where are you going?
"Treat the wound."
You are here...
"inconvenient."
[I can just step aside for a while, why do you have to go out...]
Destined to receive no response, Xie Zhao had no choice but to give up.
He looked helplessly at the rabbit beside him, then at his own paws, feeling that he had the will but not the strength.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhihuan finally came back. By then, it was completely dark.
Lu Zhihuan ran back in a hurry, and Xie Zhao immediately became alert.
[What's wrong?]
He looked outside. Could it be that some wild beast was chasing her?
Pitch black, nothing?
Lu Zhihuan gasped, "I'm afraid of the dark."
He quickly went to the fire, his little hands and face already red from the cold, and threw a few pieces of firewood into it to make the bonfire burn more vigorously.
She took the cloth bag made of daylily beside her and took out the things inside one by one.
A small clay pot with some dry food, a few handfuls of millet, and some oil-paper packets containing salt, a water bag, a dagger, and a fire starter.
Xie Zhao's mouth twitched, "You've brought quite a complete set."
"Of course, this place is so far from Shangjing City. It's not easy for me to come here. I want to stay a few more days."
Holding the rabbit in one hand and a dagger in the other, she turned to Xie Zhao and said, "Let's go! Go to the river and kill the rabbit. The water isn't frozen solid right now, so it's perfect for washing the rabbit."
As she stood up, a surge of heat washed over her and she paused, "Hiss!"
[Your wound is not healed yet?]
Lu Zhihuan was speechless. "It's been handled."
[Why do you still smell so bloody?]
Oh! Still asking?
You're asking for trouble, and she's not afraid of him knowing.
"Don't ask anymore. I'm not seriously injured. It's just... women have their periods every month." She said this in an extremely embarrassing way.
[......]
His wolf ears were burning hot. [I...um...be careful.]
Lu Zhihuan picked up a torch and limped ahead, not forgetting to remind Xie Zhao, "Just follow behind me and don't stray too far!"
She will be scared.
Xie Zhao followed her silently, and Lu Zhihuan would look back at him from time to time.
[You are said to be brave, but you are afraid of the dark. You are said to be timid, but how dare you run so far alone?]
Lu Zhihuan didn't take it seriously. "I'm afraid of the dark. I'll build a fire and never go out at night. In the past, in order to feed... my family, I had to go up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits, and pick mushrooms and wild vegetables. I'm used to it!"
The original owner was indeed like that.
When we got to the creek, we found that there was indeed water flowing under the ice.
She stuck the torch into the pebbles on the ground and warmed her frozen little hands.
With this little light, use a dagger to skin the hare and throw away the head!
He picked up another stone and smashed a big hole in the river water, and was about to reach out to wash the rabbit.
[I'll do it!]
Lu Zhihuan was puzzled, "How are you going to wash if you don't even have hands?"
[Can. ]
Xie Zhao picked up the rabbit leg and plunged it into the river water, shaking it vigorously and washing it twenty or thirty times.
[Almost.]
Lu Zhihuan smiled, took the rabbit, took out a handkerchief and wiped his wolf's mouth, "Wipe it quickly, or it will freeze."
The movements are familiar and natural.
Xie Zhao stepped back and said, "Let's go."
Lu Zhihuan raised his eyebrows, and the two returned to the cave. Lu Zhihuan rubbed some salt on the rabbit, added some firewood and started roasting the rabbit.
After roasting it, she used a dagger to shave off a piece of meat and fed it to Xie Zhao's mouth.
Xie Zhao was a little embarrassed, [I'll do it myself.]
"Don't be so pretentious, it's just the two of us, open your mouth quickly."
Helpless, Xie Zhao had to eat it.
Lu Zhihuan also poured the water from the water bag into the casserole and placed it next to him, "Drink some when you're thirsty."
He didn't drink it, but pushed forward with his paw and said, "Put the casserole next to the fire and boil some hot water to drink."
He further explained, "This will keep you warm."
After eating and drinking, Xie Zhao stood at the entrance of the cave.
Whenever I have some free time, I can't help but think about something. [I wonder how Tuying and the others are doing.]
"Where have you been?" She moved the hay closer to the fire. "It's cold. This night is really hard to endure."
[To take care of some things.]
[You'd feel better if you took off your coat and covered yourself with it.]
"Okay." She knew what was going on, kicked off her shoes, and spread a small cloth bag on the hay. She curled up into a ball, covering herself with the coat, leaving her head uncovered.
"Ha! It's much better indeed."
Xie Zhao turned his head and saw the bulging little ball, which he found inexplicably funny.
[There is a hot water bottle in the house, why didn't you bring it?]
Is that something she can possess at her level?
Obviously Xie Zhao had thought of this as well, but was afraid that she was too embarrassed to speak up.
[Go to bed early.]
He turned and walked out. Lu Zhihuan knew that he either had something to say or he couldn't hold it in anymore.
cut!
She has a hot pack!
Xie Zhao walked a distance before stopping and looking back at the flash of fire.
He had seen too many people who were two-faced, but she was unique. She was a bit cunning, and she would sometimes resort to trickery and leverage others to achieve her goals.
Fortunately, she had no ill intentions and would never put anyone in danger. Even if she was short of money and had limited resources, she would always repay a favor sincerely.
This kind of thought alone is rare.
As for Lin Zhizhong, his political achievements are mediocre. He appears to be a modest gentleman, but in reality he is a ruthless person...
Xie Zhao hesitated for a moment.
I accidentally scolded myself.
If such a person remains in the court, he will become a disaster in the future. He looked at the small figure curled up in a ball again.
It's not too late to let you vent your anger and then deal with him. If she can have a smooth life in the future, I just hope that such ridiculous things like spirit possession will not happen again.
About half an hour later, he returned to the cave and added a few more sticks to the fire with his paws.
He was already covered in fur, and he felt extremely hot when he was roasted. He was about to turn around and go to the cave entrance.
Lu Zhihuan turned over and kicked her cotton jacket away. Xie Zhao had no choice but to step forward and try to cover her with the jacket again.
But unexpectedly, she was hugged. "So warm!" she murmured, but her hands hugged him tighter.
Xie Zhao froze.
[What are you doing?]
He was covered in fur now and was indeed warm.
[But there are differences between men and women, so this is really inappropriate.]
He raised his paw, hooked the jacket with his nails and covered her with it.
But she still didn't let go, and kept muttering, "So warm, so warm."
Xie Zhao didn't dare to use too much force, and struggled slightly to free himself, [Let go.]
Not only did Lu Zhihuan not let go, he hugged her even tighter, mumbling, "My stomach hurts."
Remembering that she was unwell, Xie Zhao gave up struggling.
