Chapter 273: The End of Winter

"Actually, something was done. ”

Xia Xiao looked at Ah Candle, waiting for her next words to be amazing.

"You see, we had four barbecue meals and went to the tavern five times......"

Ah Candle recalled, licked his mouth, and enjoyed his face extremely much, as if he was still at the barbecue table, eating barbecue and seafood. Xia Xiao knew that what she was going to say was this kind of thing, so she symbolically lifted the corners of her mouth, and then leaned against the round window, looking at the sea outside the window, and was startled that the seagulls were confused.

If you think about it carefully, Xia Xiao really feels that he hasn't done anything, and he hasn't even walked a few more streets and gone to a few more shops like he did in Yugu. Although the Dragon Palace went, he was only injured, and the unknown pearl was the only harvest, and the rest were only medicine pots, medicine bowls and medicinal incense.

"What are you thinking?"

Ah Candle asked Xia Xiao, he lay flat on the bed, and said lazily:

"Sleep. ”

"It's a pig, and you're embarrassed to talk about me. ”

Ah Candle's voice was very soft, but he couldn't escape Xia Xiao's ears. But he didn't answer, he never minded how others looked at him, he didn't bother to explain. When Ah Zhu was sleeping, he got up to wash the medicine jar and medicine bowl, and cleaned up his things, and prepared some food.

Because she got up early, Ah Candle also slept for a while, she was a real pig, but when she woke up, she was bored and fiddled with a pair of long legs. Ah Candle pressed his legs straight against the wall, admiring it repeatedly, straight and long, and white, and his little face was really perfect. Ah Candle was stupid, but he felt strange when he thought that he couldn't attract Xia Xiao.

"It's really visionless. ”

Ah Candle muttered, her straight legs pressed against her abdomen. She thought it was fun, but when the ship had completely left the harbor and staggered in the waves, her head hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Ah Candle's leg kicked Xia Xiao's bed, waking the latter up. He glanced at Ah Candle, who turned over, and got up with a flat face.

"I was wrong. ”

Ah Candle was the first to apologize, but Xia Xiao just opened his backpack and put his palm in. Ah Candle hurriedly spread the sheets and quilts that had been dragged off the bed by herself, and sat quietly on them, as if she would definitely not make any more noise.

"If you have something to eat, settle down. ”

Pulled out two packets of dried fish, both of which were spicy, and Ah Candle drooled when he looked at it.

"When did you buy it?"

"In the morning you are sleeping. ”

Ah Candle blushed, but Xia Xiao lay down again, wanting to sleep for a while. Anyway, Ah Candle doesn't get seasick, eats when it's okay, and sleeps when he's full, which is the most worry-free. People who have a significant preference are the easiest to coax, especially Ah Candle.

After eating a small fish, Ah Zhu shook his fingers and began to sense his vitality. She's going to get through the induction and get on the road. Ah Candle remembers that Master said that as long as you enter the path, you will be able to use your vitality.

A candle who practiced hard made Xia Xiao, who woke up, a word, and also made a seal. There was a lot of vitality that he had gathered, and the fluctuation of vitality that Ah Candle sensed was even greater. After several times, Ah Candle was able to use her vitality, and she carefully clasped her hands together, like protecting a little bird that could not fly yet.

"Let me show you the results of my practice. ”

Xia Xiao raised his chin and asked Ah Candle to start quickly. She mysteriously opened her hands and slowly opened them, lest she startle the little thing inside. Ah Candle has calluses on her fingers, even if she has several layers of skin deducted when she is in a hurry and bored, it is still obvious.

The open palm is like a small mouth, and there is a colorless gas in it, and they are gathered together, like water in the palm of the hand, which is lighter than water.

"Yes, I'm on my way to the line. Once you can use more energy than this room, you'll be able to try to condense the energy seed. ”

"Yay!"

Ah Candle raised his chin quite proudly and said with a smile:

"I'm about to catch up with you. ”

"It's far away, but if you take out the strength to eat, it may be fast. ”

"Then you can't become fat in one bite!"

"You can eat it in one meal. ”

Ah Candle clenched her fists, but Xia Xiao turned her head and slapped her eyes, like a temptation, as long as she dared to do it, Xia Xiao would dare to let her see what cruelty was. Forced by obscenity, Ah Candle just snorted, shook his hair when he turned his head, and put on an expression of nonchalance.

The ships kept moving, constantly moving north, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Xia Xiao didn't need to cover the quilt at all when he first slept, just like when he slept in Haikou, he could gradually cover himself, first his stomach, then half of his body, and finally wrap himself tightly, like a silkworm baby.

This change in temperature made Xia Xiao realize that it was only the end of winter, and this slightly cool feeling made him quite comfortable. It's better to be cold than hot.

Because the southerners seldom sailed far, even if the ship went to the north at this time, it did not reach the Golong Bang. Therefore, Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang took advantage of the boat to stop four days later and entered the vast prairie of the barbarians. And this ship will continue to move forward, going to the polar ice land in the north, looking for extremely precious ice stones, and returning to China to change towns and towns. But no matter how precious things are, they are not as important as Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's goals.

Carrying his bag and walking on the grassland, Xia Xiao repeated what he had said several times.

"This grassland is so vast that we can only walk it with our feet. There were few shopkeepers on the road, and we had to hunt the creatures of the grassland or feed on dry food. We have no choice but to move forward, either to live or to die. ”

Ah Candle was not squeamish at all, and with a guarantee that the trip would definitely not be delayed, and then asked about the things on the grassland.

"What's there to eat on the prairie?"

"It's hard to say anything else, rabbits definitely have. ”

"Is the rabbit delicious?"

"Can you eat something so cute?"

Xia Xiao deliberately teased her and talked, this road could become shorter.

"It's cute, but it's life-threatening. Grandma said that rabbit meat can be grilled and eaten, but we don't have salt. ”

"Brought it. ”

Xia Xiao patted his backpack, causing Ah Candle to praise for a while.

"That's great, it can all be considered, but it's better to have chili flakes and cumin. ”

Xia Xiao said that there was, and Ah Candle came to the end, shouting to catch rabbits. There is a skill in catching rabbits, although she has never tried it, but grandma said that you must set a trap to catch that kind of clever guy, otherwise you can't catch it. She wanted to try, looking around, looking for a target. But these places will be walked by them, and they will never come back, so Xia Xiao said:

"It's better to walk with more strength, and when you're hungry, I'll catch it." ”

"What if you can't catch it?"

"Then eat something else. ”

"What?"

"Horse thief. ”

Ah Candle has heard this word, probably means robbers on horses, but they are also human beings, so they can't eat it, right? Ah Candle's questioning tone made Xia Xiao laugh, horse thieves naturally can't eat it, but their food can be eaten. There is no shortage of horse thieves in this barbarian steppe, which is a specialty here, large or small, which can make them full of embarrassment in the future.

"It's good to meet them now, you can grab two horses. ”

Ah Candle muttered a few words and took two breaths of cold air. Haikou and the south are in the spring, and even in the summer, but the Goulong Bang clan in the north is still living a winter life. Fortunately, winter is almost over, and their movement will be easier.

After walking for several days, Xia Xiao and Ah Candle ate rabbits as they wished and met a group of poor horse thieves. The status of this group of horse thieves is too low, there are only two inferior horses, they do not run fast, and they need to rest every two hours, otherwise they will quickly fall to the ground and convulse. But no matter how slow it was, it was faster than walking, so Xia Xiao and Ah Candle rode all the way, tying them to an erected stake at this time.

The bad horses were eating grass, and Xia Xiao and Ah Candle ate dry food. Although it was just some coarse grains, Ah Candle finished eating half of the cake and smiled at Xia Xiao.

"The last piece, after eating it, we have no dry food. ”

Xia Xiao tore half of her cake and handed it to Ah Candle, but she didn't take it. Xia Xiao said it didn't matter, and Ah Candle said again and again:

"You must be fed, and the horse thief has to rely on you. ”

Wooden vines curl like a hut. Xia Xiao and Ah Candle were wrapped in clothes and curled up inside. Sleeping like this, although it is colder, is better than the open air.

On this day, Ah Candle, who never stayed up at night, woke up, she looked at Xia Xiao beside her, but there was no one.

Pulling open the curtain made of leaves, Ah Candle poked his head out and asked Xia Xiao when he saw him.

"Why?"

"Look at the view. ”

Ah Candle wrapped his clothes and sat next to Xia Xiao. The surroundings are pitch black, and the only way to see the scenery is to look up at the sky.
