Chapter Seventy-Seven: Embarrassment
After walking for a while, Yuan Niang stopped, she realized that she was too naïve, the thieves chased her, and the footprints were messed up, at this time she had already circled here, and she had not found a way out.
It doesn't matter if it's dark, it's just that in this cold day, if you don't get eaten by wolves, you will freeze to death.
She couldn't stop, the more she was like this, the more she couldn't stop, even if she walked for one night, thinking that the road she came from was south, she looked up and saw the Big Dipper, and hope rose in Yuan Niang's eyes.
She struggled to run forward, that side is south, as long as she keeps going that way, she will definitely be able to return to the official road, and as long as she keeps walking, she will definitely find someone.
Yuan Niang didn't know how long she had been walking, so long that she had forgotten the whole world, and her chest was about to explode, and when she saw the love in front of her, Yuan Niang sat on the ground and cried excitedly.
Yes, there was a small hut there, and although there was no way to find it, there was a glimmer of life.
After crying enough, and feeling cold again, Yuan Niang got up from the ground and stumbled towards the cabin, except for the sound of her stepping on the snow, only the wolf howl from a distance from time to time, and there was no sound next to her.
Yuan Niang stood outside the door, panting, knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered, knocked for a while, no one answered, she pushed the door and walked in.
There's no heat in it at all, I don't think it's been a long time since I lived, it's a place for hunters to rest when hunting, Yuan Niang got used to the light in the house, and only then did she see the furnishings in the house through the small window.
A wooden bed with a quilt on it, a table against the window, and two chairs, and at the end of the bed is a stove, on which are some bottles and cans, and on the side of the stove are firewood.
Yuan Niang finally let out a long breath, she cautiously walked to the door, and forked the door, so that at least the wolf would not come in, as for the bad guys?
Deep in the mountains, you don't have to worry about it.
Yuan Niang was really tired, walked to the side of the bed and lay down, the coolness passed through the clothes to the body, Yuan Niang finally sat up, if she really slept like this for one night, she would definitely get sick.
She walked to the stove and groped for it, and it turned out that there was really a fire, it seems that the ancients were still very careful, although it was a place for hunters to rest when they were tired, and the things were actually ready.
After lighting the firewood rack under the stove, I opened the pot and saw that the water inside had already frozen into ice, which was just right, so I had to go outside to get snow.
The ice in the pot melted, and there was some heat in the house, Yuan Niang put the pot on the lid, and took the quilt on the bed to the lid and heated it until the quilt was hot, and then stopped the fire.
Holding the hot quilt, Yuan Niang returned to the bed, and after lying down, she was really much more comfortable, and then she had time to think about Lan Mei, and she didn't know how she was.
Yuan Niang, who was in a daze, fell asleep, where did she know that Zhuo's mansion had become a mess at this time, Dou fainted after hearing the news, she didn't care about Yuan Niang, but if Yuan Niang was gone, how could she marry by mistake?
He didn't dare to alarm the Hou Mansion, Zhuo Mansion could only secretly find someone, until early the next morning, a letter was stuffed into the hands of Zhuo Mansion's doorman who asked for food, and Zhuo Mansion was relieved.
As long as the person is okay, it is not difficult to get some money.
And the lost Yuan Niang, when she woke up, it was already dawn and almost noon, the soreness of her body made her frown slightly, and after getting used to the temperature for a while, she went out of the house, picked up the snow in the clean place and ate a few bites, and her throat was more comfortable.
Looking around, except for the tree or the tree, I can't see the road with Ben, I think there is a little us must have been covered by snow, after a while, Yuan Niang sneered, this is better, to let Zhuo Fu go in a hurry, to see how they married wrongly.
In a good mood, Yuan Niang also began to study her own situation, now the water is easy to solve, there is snow, you can pick up some branches with firewood, as for food, it seems a little difficult.
Back in the house, Yuan Niang turned it over again, but turned out some rice, but this rice is a porridge a day, at most ten days, the current weather, want to go out of the mountain with this impossible, unless someone can take her out, the hope is even more minimal.
But there is a broken net, thinking of the book she read when she was a child, Yuan Niang smiled, hoping that this method can really help her catch some food, swept out a clearing in the yard, Yuan Niang grabbed half a handful of rice and sprinkled it into the yard, and used two branches to prop the net on it, and pulled a rope on the top of the net, all the way to the house, as long as there is something to eat, how can you catch it with a pull.
Yuan Niang lay behind the door for nearly two hours, and no prey came to the door, and her patience had already been worn out, but the screams from her stomach from time to time reminded her that if she didn't insist, she was afraid that she wouldn't even have this opportunity.
Finally, in what she thought was a dream, she heard a cooing sound, and after a while, a colorful pheasant walked over with a proud step, and Yuan Niang swallowed her saliva, which was her meal for the past few days.
It's just that the pheasant is also weird, walking in the yard, not going to eat those rice grains, Yuan Niang didn't even dare to breathe when she saw it, until she watched the pheasant slowly finally go into the net to eat rice, and she didn't breathe anymore.
One step, two steps, four steps、、、 Yuan Niang pulled hard, the net fell, the pheasant also fluttered its wings and cooed, Yuan Niang ran out like a child who won an award, yes, cheered.
When they came to the pheasant, they were dancing with joy, and they noticed that the people standing by the hut were stiffened by her expression.
Yuan Niang's eyes were green when she was hungry, where would she find someone, she pounced and held the pheasant down, hugged the pheasant tightly in her arms, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile into the house.
Sima Shangyi sighed, this woman is still in the mood to catch chickens here, do you know how worried he was after knowing that she was missing, he didn't stop looking in the woods all night, if he hadn't seen smoke here last night, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find her now.
But there was a smile on the corner of her lips, in this situation, she could find food by her own cleverness, and it made him more and more curious about her, how did she think of such a stupid way to catch pheasants, but it was also the only way for people who could not hunt and kung fu.
When Sima Shangyi entered the house, he saw Yuan Niang squatting next to the stove, pressing the pheasant with both hands, and throwing the chicken directly into the pot.
Such ruthlessness、、、
"It seems that you are doing well yourself, at least you don't have to starve."
Suddenly, someone behind her spoke, the startled Yuan Niang's hand trembled, and the fire fold also fell to the ground, she turned her head suddenly, and the moment she saw that it was Sima Shangyi, she had never been happy.
Even more disregarded the rules, he threw himself into Sima Shangyi's arms, and cried with a wow, distress flashed in Sima's eyes, and he stretched out his hand to comfort the woman in his arms, but he didn't want to stop crying.
The body was pushed away again, and he didn't understand it for a while, only to see Yuan Niang wipe her face, "Why are you here?" ”
Sima Shangyi returned to his previous expression, "Passing by here, I don't think you are actually here, by the way, what's in the pot?" ”
Yuan Niang's face couldn't help but turn red, the eyes seemed to complain that he was asking knowingly, and ignored him, turned around and squatted down to continue to light the fire, Sima Shangyi didn't make a sound, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, took off his boots, lay on the bed, coughed a few times from time to time, and when the chicken in the pot stopped fluttering and quieted down, Yuan Niang looked over, and the person was asleep.
Seeing that he was thinly dressed, he thought for a while, then got up and walked over, took the quilt and covered him, at this time, as long as he protects his body, it doesn't matter if he is clean or not.
Yuan Niang didn't know that her movements were very natural and lightened, opened the pot, turned the chicken in the hot water a few times, and then took it, and put it outside on the snow while blowing her hands while plucking the hairs while it was hot, she thought about killing and then plucking the feathers, but she really didn't kill the chicken, after dealing with it, she opened the cavity and washed it with snow, and then washed the pot, raised the fire again, and paused the whole chicken, and found the salt in the jar on the stove, and boiled it on the fire.
The cabin, which was originally cold, slowly became warmer, and the sky outside became dark unconsciously.
Yuan Niang took advantage of the time when people were asleep, and collected some snow and put it in the basin, put the basin on the lid, the snow turned into water, and the water slowly heated up, the moment Sima Shangyi woke up, what he saw was such a warm scene, Yuan Niang, who was handsome and dressed in cotton robes, was sitting by the stove and burning the fire, and the room was filled with fragrance.
Born in a wealthy family, it was the first time I felt the warmth of this kind of family.
"When you wake up, wipe your face and eat." Feeling the other party's gaze, Yuan Niang turned her head sideways.
Yuan Niang also stood up and took down the basin on the pot, took out the handkerchief from her arms, wet it in the water and twisted it out, handed it over, Sima Yishang seemed to be used to this, took it and wiped her face, and repeated it several times, Yuan Niang finally wrung out the handkerchief and put it on the head of the bed.
Don't say it's dinner, or should it be said that it's the first meal for two people in two days, Yuan Niang naturally didn't know that the other party was out to find herself, so after the two of them ate a chicken, there was nothing left.
"Isn't Miss Zhuo afraid of being here alone?"
Yuan Niang cleaned up and looked at him, "Don't be afraid." ”
Now pretending to be an uncle again, Yuan Niang pouted, unwilling to worry about him, thinking that she was going to go out of the mountain, and she would have to rely on him at that time, otherwise how could she serve him like an uncle today?
Don't look at him who you want to marry in the future, and don't say that you can't help it, you really married by mistake, then your own generation will be his aunt at that time.
"It's late, I don't know if the son can think about it, how to rest at night" Yuan Niang looked up and smiled, to see what to do with this well-behaved man.
Thinking of making poems like that before, this man was so angry that he was so angry that he was looking forward to what he would do?
