Jiujiu melted the snow into water and cleaned up the pheasant and rabbit. Then, she used the pheasant and ginseng to make ginseng chicken soup for Wang Yiqiu. As for herself, she roasted the rabbit just like yesterday.
In view of Little White's performance today, Jiujiu prepared to roast a rabbit for Little White alone.
The chicken soup was boiling in the pot and the rabbit was roasted over the fire. Jiujiu used a dagger to cut the tree stump as if it was tofu. She used the tree stump to make two sets of tableware, a spoon, and a spatula before she stopped.
After Jiujiu finished making the tableware, the chicken soup was almost done. Jiujiu scooped a bowl for herself and Wang Yiqiu. As she drank the chicken soup, she rotated the rabbit so that it could be cooked faster.
After drinking the chicken soup, Jiujiu gnawed on a rabbit leg. Then, she gave the rest of the rabbit to Little White.
As she sat by the fire to warm herself, she asked Wang Yiqiu, "Why did you come here?"
When Wang Yiqiu was attached to Jiujiu, he was really attached to Jiujiu. However, when Jiujiu asked him why he came here, Wang Yiqiu was really mute.
Sensing Wang Yiqiu's sudden silence, Jiujiu turned to look at him. She saw that Wang Yiqiu's big and bright eyes instantly became confused. There was still a lingering fear on his face.
Wang Yiqiu was afraid.
Why did he come here? It was a very scary thing for him.
However, when she thought about it, no normal person would come to the deep mountains and forests for no reason.
Moreover, Wang Yiqiu was just a child who was still wet behind the ears.
Looking at Wang Yiqiu's painful expression, Jiujiu sighed. She raised her hand and flicked Wang Yiqiu's forehead. "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
She didn't have a hundred thousand whys. She wasn't that curious about why Wang Yiqiu came here.
Seeing that Jiujiu didn't continue to ask, Wang Yiqiu let out a long sigh of relief. He lowered his head to look at the burning fire.
The orange-yellow flames danced and flickered in Wang Yiqiu's eyes, making Wang Yiqiu's immature face look even more profound.
Jiujiu no longer looked at Wang Yiqiu and turned to look at the snow outside.
It was colder in the mountains than outside. It had just snowed last night, and the snow that had just reached her calves had now reached her waist. If Jiujiu didn't bring Little White out, she wouldn't have been able to survive.
Jiujiu stroked Little White's head and muttered, "When we're outside, I'll make something delicious for you."
Little White didn't know about the complicated feelings in Jiujiu's heart, but when he heard Jiujiu say that it was delicious, Little White's eyes instantly lit up.
Seeing Little White's greedy look, Jiujiu couldn't help but laugh. She pinched Little White's cheeks and lowered her head to kiss Little White's eyes. She turned to Wang Yiqiu and said, "If there's nothing else, go to bed early."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she yawned and snuggled into Little White's arms.
When Wang Yiqiu saw Jiujiu snuggling into Little White's arms, he obediently lay down on the bed.
As time passed, the days in the mountains became colder and colder. With the snow getting thicker, Jiujiu and Wang Yiqiu couldn't find any firewood at all. Jiujiu had no choice but to chop trees with Little White and drag the branches into the cave. When the branches were slightly drier, they could use the branches to start a fire.
Not only did Jiujiu have to chop the branches, she also had to look for food with Little White. Naturally, Wang Yiqiu was in charge of the cave's affairs.
For example, Wang Yiqiu learned how to deal with the game that Jiujiu brought back. He even knew how to make a small broom out of the branches to clean the cave.
Jiujiu saw Wang Yiqiu's change and remembered it in her heart.
Originally, Jiujiu was only thinking of parting ways with Wang Yiqiu when spring came and the flowers bloomed. However, for the first time, she had the idea of sending Wang Yiqiu to Shengjing.
Although Wang Yiqiu didn't say it, Jiujiu's eyes were very sharp. How could she not see that Wang Yiqiu was actually from Shengjing?
The silk and satin that Wang Yiqiu was wearing was specially made for the royal family. The jade pendant hanging around his neck was priceless.
Moreover, the current royal family's surname was Wang. Wang Yiqiu's identity was obvious.
Even if he wasn't a prince, he was still the son of a prince.
However, Jiujiu didn't know how he ended up in such a sorry state with his noble status. Jiujiu was surprised and curious at the same time.
After Jiujiu sighed at the impermanence of the world, she and Wang Yiqiu ate some dried fruit that she got from the tree in the cave. As they ate, she said to Wang Yiqiu, "When the weather warms up, I'm going to Shengjing. What about you?"
Upon hearing the two words' Shengjing ', Wang Yiqiu's ears twitched. After a moment, he looked up at Jiujiu and said, "I'm going to Shengjing too."
Jiujiu spat out the dried fruit shell in her mouth and said, "I'm going to Shengjing for business. What are you going to Shengjing for?"
Wang Yiqiu's eyes flickered, but he said, "I'm going to Shengjing for business too."
However, Wang Yiqiu didn't say a word about what business he was going to Shengjing for.
Since Wang Yiqiu didn't want to say, Jiujiu didn't continue to ask. She nodded and continued eating the dried fruit.
There was no time in the mountains.
Jiujiu didn't know how long she and Wang Yiqiu stayed in the deep mountains. Anyway, after the snow melted and the small trees sprouted tender green shoots, she pondered about leaving.
However.
Compared to leaving, Jiujiu felt that it was more important to find normal clothes for herself and Wang Yiqiu.
Although they lived in the deep mountains, because of Little White's feeding, she and Wang Yiqiu were like inflated balloons. They became fuller and fuller day by day. By the time the snow melted, Erya's chicken claws had become round little pig trotters.
As a result, every time Jiujiu looked at her own hands, she felt particularly sad.
They said that they would grow up together and become beautiful, but who knew that they would eat until they became meatballs.
Of course, compared to Jiujiu who ate until they became meatballs, Wang Yiqiu was a little miserable.
He only had one set of clothes for the whole winter. No matter how expensive the silk was, it would become as dirty and smelly as a rag.
Moreover, boys grew faster. Under Jiujiu's feeding, Wang Yiqiu grew so much that a large part of his sleeves and trousers were exposed.
They couldn't feel it in the cave where the fire was burning all day, but once they were outside, they could instantly feel the malice of nature.
At least, Wang Yiqiu's delicate body couldn't bear the temperature of the mountain.
Jiujiu asked Wang Yiqiu to wait in the cave while she went down the mountain to find clothes.
As for how to find clothes, Jiujiu said that she would just steal them.
Jiujiu rode on Little White and went down the mountain.
The temperature in the village was obviously much warmer than on the mountain. Little White sent Jiujiu to the entrance of the village and waited for Jiujiu at the side. Jiujiu swaggered into the village and prepared to steal clothes from Erya's adoptive mother.
Before Jiujiu reached Erya's adoptive mother's house, she heard the villagers talking about Erya's adoptive mother.
After Jiujiu left that day, Erya's adoptive parents waited for a long time but didn't see Jiujiu come back. Then, the two of them went to the river to look for Jiujiu.
The two of them searched for a long time but couldn't find Jiujiu. The villagers said that Jiujiu fell into the river when she was washing clothes and was washed away by the river.
