Chapter Twenty-Three: On the Hunting Ground

Xi Shi's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be calm and asked, "General Fan is injured?" ”

Xi Cheng nodded and said, "The day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw that he didn't know when he had a color on his face, and he didn't say anything when I asked him what was going on." ”

Xi Shi subconsciously looked at Yin Shisan, and the bruises on Yin Shisan's face were basically indistinguishable after using her home remedies.

It seems that he didn't suffer on the day he fought with Fan Li......

Xi Shi came back to his senses and said to Xi Cheng again: "I heard about a home remedy, you can tell General Fan when you see him." Soak the hard-boiled eggs in water and peel them, and after the eggs cool down, roll them on the face for a while, and it will not take long to reduce swelling and bruises. This home remedies, if General Fan believes it, you can try it. ”

Xi Cheng thought for a moment, and then said, "But the eldest brother is still quite busy in the past day, how can he have time to boil eggs." Why don't Miss Xi Shi help General Fan cook a few, and I will hand over the eggs to him immediately after cooking, so as not to provoke criticism with a wounded face every day, what do you say, Miss Xi Shi? ”

Xi Shi thought that this matter was caused because of her, so he agreed.

After putting the ointment away, Yin Shisan followed Xi Shi to the kitchen with a calm face.

After Xi Shi washed his hands, he filled a scoop of water and poured it into the pot, the maid Ah Duo helped Xi Shi chop wood to make a fire, and Yin Shisan leaned against the door with his hands in fists to watch them work.

The originally small kitchen was even more crowded by three people, so Xi Shi subconsciously said: "Brother Yin, it's too crowded here, do you want to go out first?" ”

Yin Shisan's face was ugly and said, "What? Don't you think it's useless for me to stand here? Why don't you wait a while and I'll help you personally send this egg over, and then peel it for General Fan's face, what do you think? ”

Xi Shi frowned, looked at Yin Shisan, and said, "How do you talk yin and yang, it's just a boiled egg, and you want to cook a few more for you." ”

Yin Shisan snorted coldly and said to Ah Duo: "Ah Duo, let me do this kind of thing, you go and rest." ”

Ah Duo put down the firewood with a look of recognition, thanked him, and then withdrew.

Listening to Ah Duo's footsteps and walking away, Yin Shisan closed the door and stepped forward to pick up the firewood on the ground and threw it into the stove, and asked casually: "Did you cook the eggs you gave me that day?" ”

Xi Shi said while picking up eggs from the basket, "It's late that day, and Ah Duo and the others are all asleep, so I can only make my own fire and boil water for you." ”

Yin Shisan raised his eyebrows, he didn't notice the smile on the corner of his mouth, but he still said arrogantly: "Then Ah Duo and they haven't slept today, why do you still cook it yourself?" ”

Xi Shi replied without thinking about it: "Xi Cheng's words have been said to that part, it's just a boiled egg, and it's not anything else." ”

After hearing this, Yin Shisan stood up silently and put the egg in Xi Shi's hand into the basket again, and regardless of Xi Shi's obstruction, he picked up the pot and poured out the water that Xi Shi had just put in.

Then, Yin 13 gently pushed Xi Shi to the door and told her to stand still. But he turned around and poured a spoonful of water into the pot again, picked three eggs from the basket again, put them in the pot, covered them, and finished it in one go.

After finishing it, Yin Shisan clapped his hands with satisfaction, and said to Xi Shi: "Your hands are still less cooking for other men, and you can't cook eggs." ”

Xi Shi smiled helplessly and said: "What do you call other men, I'm still a child, I don't have a man, don't frame me." ”

Yin Shisan replied casually: "I don't care, since you have rejected him, don't do this kind of misleading thing again." ”

Xi Shi wondered, thinking, Yin Shisan and Fan Li are brothers, shouldn't they think about Fan Li everywhere, how can they limit themselves everywhere?

Seeing that Xi Shi had been silent, Yin Shisan said in a soft tone: "Okay, you go back to the house and sleep, I'll let Xi Cheng send the eggs over later." ”

Xi Shi didn't bother to think about it, and left after answering.

After Yin Shisan handed the boiled eggs to Xi Cheng, Xi Cheng looked at the kitchen and said in a low voice, "Didn't you let Miss Xi Shi cook it, why did you cook it." I thought I'd make my big brother happy. ”

Yin 13 explained: "She has to get up early tomorrow, so I let her go to bed first." It's me who didn't think about it, next time. You tell the eldest brother that this egg compress works very well, I tried it. ”

Xi Cheng looked at Yin Shisan suspiciously, didn't say anything else, turned around and left.

When the eggs were delivered to Fan Li, Xi Cheng told Fan Li the ins and outs one by one, although Xi Cheng saw Fan Li's ugly face, but he still didn't want to deceive and hide him, until Fan Li listened to the last sentence.

"Thirteen asked me to tell you that this egg applied to his face worked very well, and he tried it."

As soon as Xi Cheng finished speaking, he heard a sound of "Gaba", and when he looked down, it was Fan Li who directly crushed the hard-boiled egg in his hand!

"Big, big?" Xi Cheng asked tentatively.

Fan Li took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and slowly exhaled that breath. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "Old eight, how much do you like Miss Zheng Dan." ”

Although Xi Cheng was confused, he still replied: "I like it very much, Miss Zheng Dan is the only girl in the world that I can look at." ”

Fan Li asked again: "But Miss Zheng Dan is red-blooded and enthusiastic, and she must definitely go to Wu to complete her plan." So, are you still willing to like her? ”

Xi Cheng hurriedly returned: "Of course I do." I like a person but can't hide it, and I am willing to follow her to Wu Country to help her fulfill her dreams. ”

Fan Li nodded and said, "The same is true for me and Xi Shi." But Xi Shi refused me because he knew my intentions, and he didn't want to give up going to Wu with Miss Zheng Dan for me, let alone let me wait for her. Then can you guarantee what kind of result will be after Miss Zheng Dan knows your mind? ”

Xi Cheng listened to Fan Li's words, understood that he was advising himself, thought for a while, and replied: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I'm just worried that after I say it, I won't even have to be a friend, so I don't dare to say it." ”

Fan Li sighed, patted Xi Cheng's shoulder, said no more, and asked him to go back first.

Xi Cheng walked slowly on the road, thinking back to Fan Li's words.

If you don't say it, lock this heart firmly in your heart, and you can always be by the side of Sister Zheng Dan; If he said it, he might be like the eldest brother and Xi Shi, and the relationship would stop there......

Xi Cheng stopped and looked at the moon in the sky in distress, the moonlight was bright and flawless, as moving as Zheng Dan's sister's bright eyes, he was really afraid that he would accidentally destroy this beauty. Therefore, Xi Cheng's eyes gradually became firm, and he thought to himself, no matter what others said and persuaded him, he must keep this secret.

Since that night, Xi Cheng's attitude towards Zheng Dan has changed quickly, and he is no longer as lively and cheerful as before, chasing Zheng Dan's sister long and sister short all day long, but like Yin Shisan, he has a straight face every day, but he looks like a serious guard.

Although Xi Cheng was not in a hurry, the onlookers saw these changes clearly, and while wondering if Xi Cheng's changes were because he didn't like Zheng Dan, he was openly and secretly testing and matching the two of them.

Xi Shi and Su Yi were very restless when they watched them make no progress every day, especially if they were not sure if it was Xi Cheng's youthful temperament, and now they didn't like Zheng Dan anymore. Therefore, after the two of them discussed, they decided to shout Yin 13 to arrange a big scene to test Xi Cheng.

Yin 13 listened to their plan, and took the task out of the palace to arrange it noncommittally.

It's time to leave the palace once a month, and many animals come out to forage for food in the autumn to prepare for the winter, so this time they asked for the king's order and went to the hunting ground to play.

King Yue repeatedly told them to pay attention to safety, and sent Fan Li to accompany them, so that the three Yue girls and the guards, as well as Fan Li, a group of seven people entered the hunting ground.

Among the seven people, except for Xi Shi, everyone else can ride horses and shoot arrows, and after Su Yi is famous, in addition to not knowing martial arts, he also has everything. Therefore, Yin 13 led his horse with one hand and walked slowly with Xi Shi's horse in the other. Fan Li rode a horse and silently guarded behind Xi Shi's horse and accompanied him all the way. When the others entered the paddock, they were very excited, and immediately rode their horses and galloped, and when they saw a living creature on the plain, they all raised their bows and arrows to fight for the living creatures.

The laughter of a few people diluted the autumn breeze a little. But only a few hares can be found occasionally on the plain, Zheng Dan and the others drove the horse to Xi Shi's side with rabbit ears, and said to Fan Li: "There are only some small animals here, why don't we go into the forest to hunt?" ”

Fan Li took out seven small bamboo tubes from his bosom and distributed them to everyone, saying: "There are many wild things in the dense forest, so pay attention to safety." In case of a fierce beast, open the bamboo tube to the sky, and we will rush over as soon as we see the signal. Brothers, you must follow and protect the beauty. ”

After receiving the order, the guards beat their horses and followed their beauties into the jungle.

Before leaving, Zheng Dan didn't forget to say to Yin Shisan and Xi Shi: "Brother Yin, Shi'er is weak and timid, don't take her deep into the jungle." Shi'er, take care of yourself, I'll go first! ”

Xi Shi responded obediently and watched them go away.

When the sound of horses' hooves faded away, Xi Shi turned around and said to Fan Li politely and reservedly: "General Fan, I don't know how to hunt, just stay on the plains and catch some hares to play, and let Brother Yin accompany me." Go and follow them in the jungle, and if there is any danger, you can solve it as soon as possible. ”

Fan Li glanced at Xi Shi deeply, Xi Shi's heart was beating, but he still pretended to look back at him calmly.

Seeing this, Yin 13 said, "General Fan, rest assured, I will protect Xi Shi." ”

After Yin 13 finished speaking, Fan Li withdrew his eyes, then took a dagger from his waist and handed it to Xi Shi, saying, "Keep it for self-defense." ”

After speaking, without looking at it, Yin Shisan whipped and chased after him.

After Xi Shi saw Fan Li walk away, he looked down at the dagger in his hand.

The dagger is simple and agarwood, the blade is extremely sharp, and there are some flowers carved in the middle, which looks very delicate and small.
