Chapter 554: Interracial Wild Wolf vs Noble Queen (26)
Wei Yi hung the curtain to separate the sight of others and make it easier for the queen to apply the medicine.
"I bought it from the previous village, and it is a must-have wound medicine for local hunters, you can try it and see if it works."
Ning Xi uncorked the bottle, and a fragrance of herbs came to her nose, and she handed it to Wei Yi, "Wei Yi, please help me rub it." ”
His strength was great, and the ointment had to be rubbed open to be effective, and if she delayed any longer, she was afraid that her ankle would swell into pig's trotters the next day.
Wei Yi didn't say a word, squatted in front of her and lowered his head to help her rub her ankles.
Ning Xi was looking at the top of his hair and his resolute face, but suddenly found that his chest was a little bulging, as if he was loaded with something.
With her previous experience in hiding peaches and sugar gourds, she reached into his pocket and asked curiously, "What's hidden in here?" ”
Wei Yi was startled, and subconsciously looked around, there were guards outside, and the others naturally didn't dare to lean over, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the hand inside the placket searched restlessly.
Wei Yi grabbed her hand that was touching randomly, "I didn't hide it, it was all given to you, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity yet." ”
Ning Xi pulled his hand away, "You continue to apply the medicine." ”
As she spoke, she reached in with both hands and took out a small package from his bosom.
When I took it out, there was the sound of silver bells colliding.
Ning Xi opened it curiously and found that there were some jewelry inside, with a unique style, which was the characteristic of the tribal village and was completely different from the jewelry outside.
She picked up an ankle ring, and on it fell some small round beads of agate, which looked quite joyful.
After comparing it, the size was just right.
Wei Yi looked up at her and said with some hesitation: "My hands are not smart enough. Not sufficiently finely done. ”
"You made it yourself?" Ning Xi asked in surprise.
"Well, I learned it from the villagers."
Ning Xi raised the ankle bracelet in his hand and asked, "How do you know my size?" ”
Wei Yi's ears turned red.
How dare he say that when he was in bed before, he had held her ankle several times, so he naturally knew the size.
Now when asked, I have to change the subject dryly, "Do you like it?" ”
She is the queen, how many precious jewels have not been seen in this world?
The jewelry he gave was very simple and not delicate enough, and it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy in his heart.
Ning Xi leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "Put it away." ”
"When we travel the world together in the future, you will have to help me put it on."
Wei Yi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect to get the queen's promise.
Even if the promise was false, he rejoiced.
Ning Xi kicked him with his foot, "Hurry up, are you kneading, my uncle will be over soon!" ”
"Right away!" Wei Yi hurriedly packed up his things, and the smile on his lips could no longer be suppressed.
After the rain stopped, Ning Xi and his party hurried to set off.
The rain had shrouded the mountains in the mist, and they walked along the river, and they had not yet encountered large beasts.
When you take a break, cook your food locally.
Wei Yi specially forked two fish to boil fish soup and brought them to the queen, Qin Wu kept looking at the two of them, and did not stop them, looking at the queen's bright eyes and swallowing all the words that came to his mouth.
Ning Xi looked at the milky white fish soup and drank it in small sips, thinking that there would be a fishy smell without seasoning, but it was unexpectedly sweet.
"Wei Yi, the fish soup is delicious."
"If you like it, if you like it." Wei Yi sat in front of the wooden pier and grilled fish.
Liang Yuanchu looked at the master and servant who were not leaving, and frowned slightly.
Before, he guessed that this noble girl was the queen of Yongzhou, but how could the queen have a guard mixed up? It's incredible.
After lunch, they continued on their way.
Ning Xi rode a donkey, bought from the stockade, and walked forward unhurriedly.
Someone in front of him was opening the way, Wei Yi suddenly grabbed the reins of the donkey, and pressed his other hand on the long sword at his waist.
In the next moment, the spy shouted, "Danger! ”
Ning Xi was surrounded by Qin Wu and Wei Yi with elites in the middle, and a large group of people watched the surroundings vigilantly.
In this group of guards, another group went out to inquire about the situation, to see if they had encountered a large beast or a sneak attack by gangsters.
Ning Xi was protected in the middle, and could only hear the movement of the fight, and the others could not be known, so he could only wait for someone to come back and report it.
The battle was too fierce, and Qin Wu brought a lot of people over, only Wei Yi protected Ning Xi in place every inch.
After a while, the people who went out all came back, and Ning Xi saw that many people were injured, so he hurriedly asked the other guards to go to the medicine.
"What's going on?"
"It's a few beasts, all killed, miss, don't worry."
Ning Xi took Wei Yi over to check, and three beasts that resembled tigers but were the size of elephants died tragically on the ground, dripping with blood and staining the wet soil red.
Wei Yi subconsciously blocked in front of her, worried that the queen would be scared and couldn't sleep at night with nightmares.
Ning Xi clapped his hands, "It's okay, by the way, are those injured people local villagers?" ”
"I'll go and ask, you sit down and rest for a while."
It soon became clear that the hunting house of the next tribe was out hunting when he accidentally ran into a large beast.
If it weren't for Qin Wu leading people to help kill the beast, those villagers would have no chance of survival.
The people in the village said a lot of words, but Ning Xi couldn't understand them, and he had to rely on the villagers he hired back to act as interpreters to understand.
To thank them for their rescue, the injured villagers invited them to visit the tribe.
Ning Xi raised his eyebrows, this is really a blessing in disguise.
If it weren't for this accident, it might have been difficult for them to enter the next tribe, after all, the deeper they went into the mountains, the more the people inside rejected outsiders.
The tribe was in a valley, with a fence around the village to ward off wild beasts, and a small river running around the village, where many women washed their clothes.
When they saw strange outsiders, they looked over one by one, their eyes full of inquiry and vigilance.
In the end, when they learned that the outsiders had saved the hunters in the village, the villagers became enthusiastic and took out the food from the house to satisfy the hunger of the outsiders.
Ning Xi sat on a bamboo chair, eating food wrapped in banana leaves, the taste was glutinous, full of fragrance, I don't know what it was called, anyway, she had never eaten these things in Yongzhou.
After she ate one, she asked the local guide, "Is there often such a large beast in this deep mountain?" ”
The guide communicated with the hunters of this tribe, and came back to pass the word, "It's not common, this time it's bad luck, I actually encountered three large beasts at once." ”
The tribal patriarch looked at the sky and told the guide to tell him that it would soon rain heavily, and advised them to stay in the tribe to rest and recuperate, and wait for the heavy rain to stop before going on the road.
The food and daily necessities they need to live in the tribe will be provided by the village to repay them for saving their lives.
Ning Xi glanced at the sky, it was useless to hurry away, after all, there was still a long distance from the place where the immortal medicine was picked, so he asked Qin Wu to take everyone to live in the tribe.
The tribe's dwellings have local characteristics, tall bamboo huts, which look simple on the outside, but are well decorated inside.
