Having said that, Nangong Yan and Murong Yan didn't dare to go far, so they picked up two branches and grass blades in front of them and hurried back. Zhao Jiu cut a few branches, picked up a bag of stones and circled them on the ground, folded the grass and dry branches into a small tower, and took out the flint from his body and hit a few sparks with the back of the knife. The spark fell on the blade of grass, flickering and flickering, and ignited just when the three of them were worried that it would be extinguished.

"Whew-"

All three breathed a sigh of relief.

When the fire was completely burning, the moon came out of the clouds, and the surroundings were much brighter than before. The mountains in the distance, the trees and rocks in the distance, don't look so terrible now. The jumping light of the fire reflected the faces of the two sisters, and the warmth gradually rose, and the tense nerves of the sisters relaxed all the way, and then they realized that they were very hungry. Fortunately, there was still dry food in the baggage, Nangong Yan divided two cakes to give to Zhao Jiu, but when she saw Zhao Jiu pick up the knife and get up, Er Shu was so frightened that she hurriedly picked up the sword for some reason, but Zhao Jiu said: "I'm afraid this little branch is not enough, I'll cut some back!" ”

Nangong Yan was afraid that Zhao Jiu would abandon the two sisters in this ghost place, so she hurriedly said, "I'll help you!" ”

"I'll go too!" Nangong Yan hurriedly put the dry food back into the burden and followed.

The three of them worked together to pick up a lot of branches and grass blades back, Zhao Jiu picked out the soft grass blades and spread a small mat next to the fire, and said to Ershu: "So the ground won't be cold!" The two Shu glanced at each other, both of them were a little moved, and hurriedly took out the dry food and water and distributed them to Zhao Jiu. Zhao Jiu still had a few buns in his baggage, which were also taken out and roasted on the fire and then distributed to Ershu. The roasted buns were fragrant and attractive, and they tasted exceptionally sweet, Nangong Yan couldn't help but say: "I never knew that staying in the wild was so interesting, if I roasted a pheasant or a hare or something, it would be great!" ”

Murong Yan wanted to blame Nangong Yan for a few words, if she hadn't been playful, she wouldn't have been like this today, but when she saw Nangong Yan's smiling face, her heart softened again, so she had to pretend to be a lecture: "You don't say anything, it's good for you, you forget about it as soon as you go out!" You'd better eat quickly, beware of the smell beckoning wild insects—"

"Goo-"

"Goo-"

Before the words fell, two low and hoarse cooing sounds came from the mountains, which frightened Nangong Yan and hurriedly leaned on her cousin: "That, that, that-"

Murong Yan's face was also so frightened that her face turned pale, Zhao Jiu had already heard the voice clearly, and hurriedly comforted the two sisters: "The two girls are not afraid, they are just a wild bird, they are afraid of fire, they dare not come!" ”

Because of the strange sound, Ershu felt that her body was cold, so she involuntarily moved closer to the fire, and Nangong Yan said again: "Catch up big brother, hurry up and add some branches, don't let the fire go out!" Murong Yan also regretted it, blaming herself for being bad, and saying something scary in a good manner! She is not as straightforward as Nangong Yan, even if she is scared in her heart, she is embarrassed to speak, and only quietly clenches the hilt of the sword in her hand. The two sisters were back to back, staring beyond the fire with wide eyes, for fear that something terrible would pop out of nowhere.

Zhao Jiu stared for a moment, dragged a large tree branch nearby and cut it into several sections, sharpened the two ends, and planted them on the ground around the three of them with the fire as the center, using it as a hidden stake to guard against wild beasts. Maybe Ming'er can really eat hare meat.

The night was already deep, except for the occasional crackling sound of the burning fire. Afraid that she would not be able to resist the invasion of tiredness and drowsiness, coupled with the warmth from the fire, Nangong Yan leaned on her sister and slept first, and it didn't take long for Murong Yan's eyelids to stick. Zhao Jiu took off his coat and covered Ershu, and then returned to the same place to meditate cross-legged. I don't know how long it took, Zhao Jiu seemed to see a trace of clarity in the haze, he looked for that clarity for a long time, and finally saw the end of the long road. There was a hut standing there, budding rice was planted in front of the house, spicy seeds were lit under the window, a man was bending over and hoeing the ground, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "Daddy! ”

The man straightened up at the sound and slowly turned his head—

Zhao Jiu woke up, his cheeks slightly cold. When I raised my hand, I suddenly got water stains on my sleeves. The top of the mountain was white, and there were still stars on the fire, Zhao Jiu added some branches to re-ignite the fire, got up and looked around, there was no trace of insects and beasts last night. There is a waterhole behind the mountainside on the opposite side of the mountain, which came in a hurry yesterday and did not find it, but it was particularly beautiful in the early morning. Zhao Jiu went around and washed his face, and was surprised to find that there were fish in Tan. The fish was slender, the body of the fish was flat like willow leaves, and it was playing in the shallow water by the pool, Zhao Jiuxi couldn't help it, took off his clothes and pants and went into the water to catch fish.

The fish was quite clever, scurrying around Zhao Jiu's legs, splashing Zhao Jiu's body in the water. Zhao Jiu played with his heart, and learned to squat and stand still like he practiced money darts at the beginning, but the fish gradually got together. Zhao Jiu saw that the fish was ready to start quickly, and let him fish a lot of them, tidy them up, and use branches to string two large skewers. There was a shout from the opposite mountain, it sounded like the voices of the two Nangong Yan sisters, Zhao Jiu hurriedly dressed and went ashore, and saw that the sisters were really looking for him everywhere, so he hurriedly waved to the sisters and responded: "I'm here-"

When she returned to Shanque, Nangong Yan immediately greeted her, and asked with concern: "Brother Catch Fast, why did you disappear without saying a word?" As soon as the words fell, she saw the fish in Zhao Jiu's hand, and asked in surprise with wide eyes: "Brother Catch Quickly, it turns out that you went fishing——"

Nangong Yan was sharp-tongued, and asked Zhao Jiu where he caught the fish in two sentences, and then took Murong Yan's hand and explained to Zhao Jiu: "Catch Brother Hurry, I want to go with my cousin to see that waterhole, you can't come with Brother Catch Hurry, don't go around again, we'll be back soon!" ”

"I've seen it next to the pool, and there are no wild beasts, but the two girls still have to be careful, and call me out if there's something!" Zhao Jiu made up the fire and put the fish on it to bake slowly. The two girls went for a long time, but they didn't come back until the fish was cooked. Zhao Jiu hadn't tasted meat for a long time, so he couldn't bear the smell of fish and tasted one first. The meat of this fish is delicate, and it is extremely sweet in the mouth, although there is no salt to taste, Zhao Jiu also feels that it is a heavenly delicacy.

After waiting for a while, the two sisters came back, but when they saw that the two sisters had swept away the fatigue of yesterday and refreshed themselves, they realized that the two sisters had gone to the waterhole to freshen up. The daughter's family, after all, is face-heavy.

Ershu was like the red sun rising in the morning, the glow was bright and radiant, Zhao Jiu was a little stunned, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Murong Yan frowning, Zhao Jiu actually immediately came back to his senses and said loudly: "Two girls, the fish has been baked!" I've tasted it, and although there is no salt, there is no fishy smell, but there are a little too many thorns, and the two girls should be careful when eating! ”
