Seeing Huangfu Jingchen's doubts, Xia Wenjin said without changing her face: "Shortcut!"

As for whether it is a shortcut, only God knows.

Xia Wenjin knew that Xia Wanqing had come down the mountain to catch her, so how could he dare to walk on the official road? Of course, he was walking in the countryside.

There is inconvenient news and easy to hide.

She was determined not to go back.

For Huangfu Jingchen, there is actually no difference between the roads and small roads.

The only difference is probably that the road is wider and Xia Wenjin rides a horse faster. He has to raise his internal strength from time to time to perform his light skills.

The road is sometimes narrow and difficult to walk, so Xia Wenjin lets the horses walk slowly. The roadside is weeds, and the mountains and valleys are low in the distance, and the scenery is pretty good.

When it was dark, Xia Wenjin had no intention of staying there, and Huangfu Jingchen didn't care. This was a mountain countryside, and there were no inns and restaurants.

Although you can go to the villagers' homes to stay, Huangfu Jingchen prefers to sleep in the open.

He was seriously injured at that time. They had been in the wild for nearly ten days. Wen Jin was taking care of him, and he wanted to take care of her.

The place where Xia Wenjin chose to stay overnight is a slope, with a clear water pond not far away, and there is a clump of lotus flowers and a water chestnut at the east corner of the pond.

Huangfu Jingchen asked Xia Wenjin to take a break, volunteered to cut down the thatch, and sleep on a spread out tonight.

Poor his soft sword was probably the first time he acted as a hatchet. When the sharp blade rolled over, a piece of thatch fell to the ground.

Xia Wenjin let the horse go and let it eat grass by itself. She smiled and watched Huangfu Jingchen turn his sword and cut the grass.

The bright smiling face and smiling eyes were almost dazzled when Huangfu Jingchen looked back.

His mood also improved, and the sword in his hand was flying more and more chaotic.

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "Enough! We are just staying overnight for a while. We have to lay the ground and separate the dust. If we cut it down, we can make a big bed directly!"

A big bed?

Huangfu Jingchen raised the corner of his mouth. He was very happy, but probably Xia Wenjin was not happy!

Huangfu Jingchen said: "I'll go hunting!"

Xia Wenjin looked around and said, "It doesn't look like there is any wild game here. There is a farmhouse two miles west. Just go buy a chicken."

Huangfu Jingchen went to buy it immediately without saying a word.

Xia Wenjin took a break for a while, got up and stretched her arms, and looked at the corners of the pond covered with water. She couldn't help but use the branches to pick up a lot of tender water chestnuts on it. She picked some of the big ones and picked some of them, and picked a few lotus leaves.

Just as I was about to pick up some firewood, Huangfu Jingchen was already back.

He bought two fat hens.

Xia Wenjin said satisfied: "How much does Huazi cost?"

Huangfu Jingchen was in a very good mood and said, "It's very cheap, only ten taels of silver!"

Xia Wenjin: “…”

Very cheap? Ten taels of silver?

This young man probably didn't know that ten taels of silver could be eaten and used by the mountain farmers for most of their lives.

However, Xia Wenjin did not feel a pity. It is not easy for farmers in the mountains and fields. If some money can make them live a better life, it would be considered a good thing.

Huangfu Jingchen talked about buying chickens and sighed: "Wen Jin, you don't know, their family only has two chickens. I originally wanted to buy one, but after paying the money, the aunt insisted on capturing the other one to me! There was a little piglet in his family, and the aunt asked the uncle to give me the little piglet together. It was because I tried my best to refuse that they gave this idea. Wen Jin, the people in the mountains are real!"

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "It's still true, but fortunately you didn't bring that little pig!" The farmer was simple and knew the value of ten taels of silver, and wanted to give everything he could.

They didn't know that ten taels of silver were nothing to Huang Zheng.

Xia Wenjin said: "Let me go, I will pick up some firewood first and deal with this chicken later!"

Huangfu Jingchen immediately said: "I'll go pick up firewood!"

Xia Wenjin smiled and said, "I want dry firewood!"

Huangfu Jingchen blushed, remembering the incident when he was sleeping in the open for the first time, he said embarrassedly: "I'll pick up dry firewood!"

Seeing him running to pick up firewood as if he was flying, Xia Wenjin smiled, picked up two chickens, and went to the pond to deal with them.

Remove the chicken's feathers and open the veins and clean them. I applied a layer of salt to the chicken's stomach. Add the large ingredients she bought when she went shopping yesterday, and a thick layer of pond mud was placed on the batter. I wrapped it with lotus leaves and carried it back.

When I went out, I had two chickens, and when I came back, I had two balls of mud.

When she came back, she found that Huangfu Jingchen had not only picked up firewood, but also had fire.

This time, the smoke was not enough to make people feel bad. It turned out that Huangfu Jingchen used dry thatch to ignite, put small branches on them and then some thick ones on them.

Xia Wenjin looked at him with appreciation. This man learned things very quickly.

She walked over and picked up the dagger and dug the soil on the ground.

Huangfu Jingchen didn't understand, and said strangely: "What are you doing when digging the soil?"

Xia Wenjin said casually: "Dig a hole and roast chicken!"

"Didn't it be baked on a rack?" That's what she did last time.

Xia Wenjin raised her eyes and smiled, "Let's make a fresh one today."

The dagger was sharp, and she quickly dug a small hole on the ground, put the mud bag in, and dug another hole.

Two balls of mud, two pits.

Then set up a pile of fire on two pits and burn the fire.

The weather is not the time to burn the fire now. After Xia Wenjin moved the fire to the pit, he added the dead branches of appropriate thickness and asked Huangfu Jingchen to watch the fire and not let the fire go out, so she went to the pond to wash her hands.

As time is almost over, she comes back leisurely.

Huangfu Jingchen was adding firewood. When he saw Xia Wenjin coming back, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't see how Xia Wenjin dealt with the two chickens, but he also guessed that it was in the mud ball. In fact, it was strange. Can the chicken be eaten in the mud?

Will you eat chicken or mud in a while?

Or, is it a mud-soup chicken?

However, no matter how suspicious he was, he was not at all displeased. Instead, he still had some expectations. Even if it was a chicken with mud soup, as long as it was made by Wen Jin, it would definitely be eaten.

Xia Wenjin slashed it with branches, and the two mud balls were already dry and cracked, but the cracks were very small.

She used the thick branches to turn the two mud balls over, added some heat, and roasted the other side to dry and cracked.

Seeing that it was almost done, extinguished the fire and brought out two dry mud balls from the pit.

Huangfu Jingchen looked at the two oval giant dry mud eggs. He felt that he would not say anything first. If Xia Wenjin was not baked well, it would definitely be embarrassing.

He even thought that if it was really bad, he would go hunting. Even if there was no wild game here, he would always find something to eat.

The thick branches in Xia Wenjin's hand poked the mud eggs and rolled a few times. The outer ring was about to be burned into bricks, which was very hard.

Xia Wenjin reached out and handed over the shabby branch: "Come on, come and knock it open!"

Huangfu Jingchen said: "Knock?"
