Xia Han started a new life.

However, the new life brought by Route 2 has not changed so spectacularly, no matter what he looks like in the eyes of outsiders, Xia Han himself just sings everywhere according to his habits. His life was peaceful, and Xia Han didn't hate it—and he had a new friend.

Wujian is different from the others, she is the only one who belongs to Xia Han herself, so he is closer to her than the others. Although she is a taciturn girl, she is very serious in her work, and she takes care of almost all the usual chores of Xia Han.

This makes Xia Han's life orderly.

In fact, it is difficult for a person's relationship to remain cold and strong at some time, maybe it is to welcome the first rays of sunshine together every day, to wait for the sunset of dusk together, or to hear a 'good night' from a girl sleeping on the floor every night, and to find that she is still washing her clothes under the moonlight when she gets up in the middle of the night.

After dozens of days and nights of getting along, Xia Han's heart that had been empty for too long had one more person. Of course, this is not to say that he is in love with Wujian, but she has at least become a 'relative' of his, the closest person in the world.

He didn't mind the swordless appearance because the girl had a delicate heart.

No one will stay by Xia Han's side like her without asking for anything in return, even if it is Bai Xue, it is with her own careful thoughts. And Wujian rarely spoke, she just quietly followed Xia Han's side, repeating her work again and again.

This kind of saying is calm and happy, Xia Han wandered around Jade City and the surrounding towns, his singing did not enter the field of vision of the upper class, but caused a huge sensation among the lower classes, and even many commoners and merchants trekked from outside just to witness their princess demeanor.

The sensation also brought trouble to Xia Han, and it was okay to have a protected stage performance in Jade City, but he had to act quietly every time he went to the township to stay safe.

On this day, he returned to the city after finishing his work in a town. On their way back to the city, they passed through a lively village. The village was filled with a large number of beast carcasses, and the villagers were smiling as they took out their spatulas to cook.

Xia Han's carriage was invited by the villagers, a village that had hunted too much game today, and the joyful villagers invited passers-by to their feast.

"Passing by here is fate, this road is rarely passed by outsiders, you eat hard!"

The people of the village were very bold, and in fact their women had already scraped out the good meat and took it home to pickle, but in the end there was still a lot left. Xia Han rarely saw such a lively scene, so he naturally did not refuse.

Jade City is located in the middle of the Yulin Mountains, and most of the towns and villages it controls are hidden in the mountains. In the evening in the mountain village, the figures of the people disappear, the smoke rises in laughter, and the trees next to the houses move in a dim yellow color in the setting sun.

Xia Han sat on a stone block on the side of the village wearing a mask, and even if he concealed his identity, it was not suitable for him to walk into the crowd, because it would be easy to be exposed. Xiao Sheng walked among the villagers, and he explained to others that Xia Han was just one of his introverted sisters.

No one doubted it.

"Your Highness"

Wujian walked out of the village with a few portions of barbecue, but stopped halfway. She looked at Xia Han sitting alone in the sunset, his hair glowing golden in the evening breeze, and when it fluttered, he was as beautiful as the rumored elf.

"Your Highness, this is your barbecue."

A moment of envy flashed in his eyes, and Wujian handed over the barbecue to Xia Han.

"Oooh! Thank you. ”

Xia Han, who stood up, thanked her, and he took the barbecue and ate it: "Isn't there no broth?" ”

"Yes."

Wujian lowered his head and replied calmly: "There are too many chili peppers in that broth, so I poured it." ”

Xia Han raised his eyebrows, he ate spicy food, and he didn't hear anyone in the village shouting about the taste of chili peppers. Obviously still shouting 'it's so hot' and 'this meat is well roasted', how can no one shout 'it's so spicy'?

"If not, forget it." However, Xia Han didn't care, he just had meat to eat.

The barbecue has a strong aroma of herbs, which is typical of the countryside. Villagers who live by hunting don't spend money on expensive spices, but they are so familiar with the forests they have lived in for generations that they have learned to cook with plants instead of spices.

Xia Han chewed on this unique flavor of barbecue, his face was full of happiness, but the weather in the mountains changed as soon as it was said, and it suddenly darkened.

The sun had not yet set, and it was a sudden cloud that obscured the sun.

"It's going to rain, pack your things!"

"Guest, take a rest in the village, too!"

The people of the village hurriedly began to pack their things, and they sent an invitation to Xiao Sheng, but Xiao Sheng waved his hand and refused: "No, we still have to hurry." ”

He escorted Xia Han and Wujian into the carriage, and then left on the bumpy mountain road. The torrential rain crackled and poured down, thumping like hail on the wagon. However, the carriage had undergone special blessings, and the wind and rain did not hurt it.

On the way back, however, there was an accident - the carriage could not withstand the bumps in the wet mountain road, and the wheels broke.

"Little princess, you get out of the carriage first and hide under the tree, and we will fix it."

After Xiao Sheng went down to take a look, he felt that the situation was not optimistic. They had to tilt the carriage forty-five degrees before they could make repairs, and Xia Han and the two had to temporarily come down and hide aside.

A hundred meters from where the carriage stopped, there was a small stream, the water of which was flowing in a torrential rain, and the original beautiful color became chaotic.

Xia Han and Wujian waited under the big tree not far from the stream.

"Your Highness, it seems to be raining heavily at dusk" Wujian opened her mouth to break the silence, she stretched out her hand and gently brushed the leaves off Xia Han's shoulder, skillfully as if she was taking care of her own family.

"Well, when this rain is over, it will probably be night." Xia Han smiled, he looked at the sky in front of him, the continuous rain curtain blocked all vision, it seemed that the return trip after the carriage was repaired was also a big problem.

Swordless squeezed his body.

The tree was huge and lush, but it still couldn't stop the raindrops from falling. Wujian gave up the best place to Xia Han, but let half of his body bear the dripping raindrops.

"It's my job."

Before Xia Han opened his mouth, Wujian calmly explained to him.

"That's it" Xia Han took off the mask that covered half of his face and put it on the shoulder of the swordless, and the dripping raindrops were blocked by it: "Then this is the work prop I gave you!" ”

"Who would have thought that masks could be used like this! Without a sword, do you think I'm a genius? ”

Xia Han raised his eyebrows, smug and complacent.

"Well, His Highness is a genius." Wujian smiled bitterly in his heart, but accepted this kindness. She knew that His Highness sometimes liked to avoid the topic in a joking tone, thus confusing others.

On the other side, Xiao Sheng and the coachman were busy repairing the carriage in the torrential rain.

Xia Han didn't see the figure of the masked thief, and couldn't help frowning: "That undedicated masked man is lazy again"

Wujian shook his head: "No, Your Highness, I think he should be working." ”

"What?"

"Look."

She pointed to the stream, and Xia Han took a closer look, only to find that there was a trace of blood flowing in the chaotic stream that had been stirred up by the mud, which was the blood of the dead. Perhaps because Xia Han showed up a lot, he had recently begun to be assassinated by many unknown reasons, and Xiao Sheng and the thieves maintained a high degree of vigilance every day.

"I think he's dealing with threats for you, and this kind of weather is prone to accidents."

Wujian explained, Xia Han also understood that it was very dangerous to advance in the rainstorm, he looked at the blood flowing in the creek and did not speak again.

The rain was getting heavier, and Xia Han, who was sheltering from the rain under the tree, suddenly heard the sound of a rustling, he looked up in surprise, and then a pitch-black object fell from the sky.

"Your Highness is dangerous!"

Wujian reached out and slapped the black object to the ground.

"What's that?" Xia Han was startled, he turned his head to look, only to find that the black object that fell on the ground was a bird's nest made of dead branches.

Perhaps the rainstorm was so strong that the nest fell from the tree.

"Let's see if there are any eggs in there!" Xia Han walked over and opened the nest, but he didn't see any eggs - only the dying chicks inside. This is a fledgling that has not yet grown into wings, and its whole body is fluffy and round, like a small local chicken.

"Squeak~" it screamed with its mouth open, and its voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible.

"Oops! It was injured, and I heard that the chick that fell from the tree will no longer be recognized by its mother," Xia Han recalled that the man and nature in his previous life seemed to have talked about such a thing, and immediately caught the fat bird, and then returned to Wujian's side: "No way, it looks like it is very nutritious, well, take it home and cook it." ”

"Your Highness, I think it's better to steam." Wujian glanced at Fat Bird, who seemed to be as unsympathetic as her master.

A few hours later, they returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

But Wujian suddenly fell, her face turned blue, and she claimed to have a cold. Wujing didn't send anyone to treat her, he said coldly, "Anyway, tomorrow will be fine, why treat." Swordless's body is strange, and her illness and injuries will recover the next morning.

However, Xia Han couldn't bear to see her so uncomfortable, he changed his clothes for Wujian, and then helped her lie down on the bed.

"Laundry" late at night, Wujian struggled to wake up. Xia Han hurriedly stopped her, he had already washed his clothes.

"You're catching a cold with such a little rain, it seems that your body really needs to be replenished!" He brought out a bowl of hot soup and fed it to the girl by candlelight: "This is the fat bird in the evening, I have people make it into soup"

"Poof" Wujian almost squirted out the hot soup: "You really killed it?" She thought Xia Han was joking.

Xia Han calmly took a sip of soup and asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No, no problem," Wujian finished drinking the soup.

Then, the next day

"Your Highness, why is this fat bird hanging in a cage at the door so familiar?"

"It was picked up by the masked man, and yesterday's rainstorm was really heavy."
