Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 561
Chapter 561 Accidental Harvest
Half an hour later, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin had already built a simple house.
It was said to be a house, but in reality, it was only supported by four pieces of wood. Then, layers of leaves were used to build it. It was empty everywhere. Obviously, it was impossible to avoid the wind, but it could avoid the rain.
Yun Xiao looked at the sky outside. Wherever she could see it, it was pitch black everywhere. Especially in this dense forest, she could not even see her fingers.
In this kind of weather, if one wanted to find someone, it was simply impossible to compare to ascending to the sky. Yun Xiao could also feel at ease.
Sitting under a simple shed, he watched as Rong Jin skillfully lit the fire and roasted the dry rations they brought with them.
Through the faint flames, Yun Xiao saw that Rong Jin’s expression had also become gentler.
After a long time, Yun Xiao smelled a faint fragrance. Rong Jin had already roasted the dry food and handed it to her. “Try it first. This roasted food tastes good. See if you can handle it first.”
Yun Xiao was not polite either. She held the dry food in her hand and sniffed it for a moment. She whispered, “It really smells good. It’s much better than eating the dry food.”
He took a small bite. She said with a sweet smell, Eating like this, For Yun Xiao, this is the first time in her entire life that she has experienced this. “I think this is not bad. If only we could add some more seasonings. After we go out, I want to properly test it out and see how it tastes. If possible, we can add another dish to our restaurant in the future.”
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she secretly nodded her head. She felt that her idea was very good.
Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao’s expression of having found the treasure and was slightly stunned. Then, he revealed a doting smile and shook his head, sighing.
Right at this moment, Yun Xiao said quickly, “I think if it’s feasible, we can add some other things to try roasting. If possible, I want to promote it in the restaurant.”
Rong Jin laughed, “Eating doesn’t stop your mind from doing business?”
Yun Xiao was speechless and smiled embarrassedly, “I was just a little too excited for a moment.”
Rong Jin also smiled indifferently and did not compliment Yun Xiao. He just said indifferently, “Indeed, this kind of eating method is indeed good. However, there is one problem. For some nobles, they may feel that the roasted food is not clean, so it is very likely that it will be unsaleable.”
Yun Xiao thought for a moment and felt that what Rong Jin said was reasonable. She ate while taking a sip of the water that Rong Jin handed over. She immediately felt much better. This also confirmed Yun Xiao’s determination to promote the roasted food.
“We ‘re baking with wood now, Some nobles may feel uncomfortable or even unclean, but we can think of ways to bake things, or we can change the wood into charcoal fire, and add a layer of iron plate to the charcoal fire. This way, although the taste is slightly different from the directly baked things, I think it should not be much worse. ”
“That’s an idea. However, don’t be too tired. It’s already very late now. Hurry up and eat and rest for a while.” Rong Jin urged, and he understood clearly in his heart that Yun Xiao had a good mind to do business.
As Yun Xiao was eating, she suddenly heard some intermittent sounds coming from outside. She poked out her head and looked outside. She did not expect to actually see a light rain outside.
She looked at Rong Jin in surprise. She didn’t expect him to be right like this. “I didn’t expect you to be able to predict the weather. You were right.” Although Yun Xiao had always felt a little doubtful about whether it would rain or not. Although she believed Rong Jin’s words, she couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious in her heart. Seeing that the rain had really fallen, the feeling in her heart was really subtle.
“If you carefully observe the reaction of the ground when it rains, you should be able to guess,” Rong Jin said calmly. However, his gaze was looking out from afar. The rain would probably increase the difficulty of Zhou Jingyan’s pursuit.
Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin in shock. She had always felt that Rong Jin was omnipotent. Many things could be easily solved by Rong Jin’s hands. It turned out that he wasn’t necessarily relying on talent, but on his own hard work the day after tomorrow.
A person who could even observe the rain, she should not doubt him. At the same time, there was a trace of sympathy and heartache in her heart.
Apart from sleeping, most of his time must have been used to increase his knowledge or read books, right?
Yun Xiao seriously thought about it. Cooking, Xiao Yi, chess, medical skills, strategies, and arrays didn’t seem to be something he didn’t know. He must have spent a lot of effort to learn so many things, right?
Rong Jin looked sideways and saw Yun Xiao’s dull gaze. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile as he teased, “Don’t look at me like this, otherwise I will be unable to help it.”
Yun Xiao did not expect Rong Jin to tease her. Even if she had a big red face, she immediately turned around and patted her face. She then looked at the rain outside and whispered, “Do you want to predict now if it will get heavier and heavier? Or how long will it be?”
“I can’t predict this, but I don’t think the rain will be too light.” As if to confirm what Rong Jin had said, the rain gathered in the sky was getting heavier and heavier.
Yun Xiao was speechless as she rolled her eyes, “Aren’t you too divine?”
“It’s just a coincidence,” Rong Jin said. He glanced at the ground. Fortunately, he had already used quite a few branches to build it. He could let them rest for a while. However, because he was familiar with building it with some straw, it would be very uncomfortable to fall asleep. He took off his outer robe and placed it on the straw before looking at Yun Xiao. “Do you want to come and sleep?”
After walking all the way, he had originally planned to spend the night in the inn tonight, but he didn’t expect that he would still end up wandering outside. Yun Xiao was also very sleepy, so she said without thinking, “Of course.”
The two of them lay under a simple shed and listened to the sound of the rain outside. Although they were very sleepy, it was as if they had discussed it. Neither of them spoke.
Holding onto Rong Jin’s embrace, Yun Xiao was a little confused about the future. However, she knew that she could feel much more at ease wherever Rong Jin was. “Where do you plan to lure Zhou Jingyan?”
Rong Jin shook his head. “I don’t know either. Let’s wait for reinforcements to arrive before we talk. Let’s waste our time in this dense forest first.” In the dense forest, Rong Jin was familiar with the terrain. Although Zhou Jingyan had brought many people, Rong Jin could still use the terrain to disguise himself.
Yun Xiao heard that there were reinforcements, Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. But looking at the dark forest, Only the dim light they were in made them feel a little scared. After lying in Rong Jin’s arms for a long time, Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin whisper, “If you’re sleepy, sleep for a while. If there’s any movement here, I’ll watch. Your current body shouldn’t be too tired, otherwise it’ll be very difficult to recover in the future.”
Although Yun Xiao had already given birth to Er Xiao, it was already past the time of her month, but she still needed to rest. However, this journey was tiring and she was afraid. She had already injured her body. In the future, if she wanted to recuperate, she would need to recuperate for a few years before she could recover.
…
On the other side, Zhou Jingyan and his bodyguards chased after Rong Jin and Yun Xiao into the dense forest. However, they didn’t chase for long before they disappeared. Fortunately, the footprints of the horse’s hooves were left behind for them to search for. However, after searching for a few hours, they found nothing.
The guard couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged. He was worried that something terrible would happen in the forest, so he repeatedly tried to persuade Rong Jin to leave with him.
However, Zhou Jingyan insisted on going his own way, completely ignoring the persuasion from his surroundings.
Zhou Jingyan also patrolled a bodyguard who wanted to retreat.
At this moment, Zhou Jingyan heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away. He frowned and said, “Be vigilant!”
Zhou Jingyan relaxed when he discovered that it was the general guarding the city. Then, he frowned and said, “What are you doing here?”
“This subordinate is worried about His Highness the Third Prince, so he came to protect His Highness the Third Prince. Don’t worry, Your Highness. The matters of the Border City have already been arranged.” After the general finished speaking, he glanced at the pitch-black sky before saying, “Your Highness, the general is always in the vicinity of the Border City and is somewhat familiar with the dense forest here. If possible, he can lead His Highness to search for people.”
Zhou Jingyan heaved a sigh of relief. Today, they had searched for several hours, but they had never found anything. Furthermore, they had suffered a great loss in the forest. It was much easier for them to have someone familiar with the road lead them. “Alright, since you have already arranged what has happened, then stay here for the time being.”
Just as they were speaking, they heard the drizzling rain falling on the ground, giving off a pleasant rustling feeling. However, Zhou Jingyan and the city guard general couldn’t help but take a deep breath, “Quickly find a place to shelter from the rain! Also, let’s see if we can build a shelter from the rain.”
It was raining in this kind of ghostly weather, and many of them didn’t bring any change of clothes. At that time, they would be wearing wet clothes, and they would be very susceptible to illness.
Everyone was busy building shelters from the rain. However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Everyone was afraid. Especially after the rain, the torches they were holding were extinguished because of the water. Looking at the pitch-black sky, many people had thoughts of retreating.
However, without Zhou Jingyan’s orders, no one dared to leave at will. They could only use their fastest speed to build the wooden house. However, when they finished building the simple small house, the rain gradually lessened.
