Chapter 655: Chapter 637 Encounter Again_1
"Hurry up and curl up in your bedroll. If anyone catches a cold and can’t travel tomorrow, don’t blame me for leaving her stranded halfway. This is the wilderness. If you really get a high fever, I won’t be able to save you."
Su Pan’er was deliberately scaring her.
With the current situation, her words, although meant to scare, were the truth nonetheless.
They were going to treat His Majesty’s illness, so obviously, they couldn’t stay on the road for the sake of a low-ranking servant. The best-case scenario would be for no one to fall ill.
Xiao Min, who had planned to persevere, quickly retreated to her bedroll.
If who in the company is the most carefree and receives the best food and drink, it’s probably that rascal pig. It had gobbled up its can earlier and then curled up in a corner to sleep heavily.
Su Pan’er was guarding the fire, ceaselessly adding firewood. She didn’t dare let the fire go out.
Fortunately, Qin Yi didn’t take long to bring back an armful of firewood. He was holding a soaking wet wild chicken in his hand, and his face lit up in a particularly joyful smile to Su Pan’er!
"Pan’er, look, I happened to catch a wild chicken!"
Su Pan’er saw him soaked through her clothes and realized that the actual situation couldn’t have been as easy as Qin Yi described.
She quickly rose to her feet to receive the wild chicken. "I’ll process this since I’m used to it. You, on the other hand, should quickly get those wet clothes off you, definitely can’t risk catching a cold."
Qin Yi also understood the situation and immediately disregarded any etiquette, stripping off his drenched clothes. He then draped himself with a dress belonging to Su Pan’er and started drying his wet clothes by the fire.
When they left the farm, they had taken several sets of Su Pan’er’s clothes. Qin Hong was genuinely kind to Su Pan’er, these dresses were not only of good material but also kept her warm.
As Qin Yi was drying the clothes, Su Pan’er quickly drained the wild chicken’s blood, mixed some snow with yellow mud to apply on the chicken’s feathers, applying a thick layer of it. She then wrapped the wild chicken in a mud lump and moved the fire apart to roast it inside.
After she finished these tasks, she washed her hands with a couple of handfuls of snow and once again sat next to Qin Yi.
"Come! I’ll help you."
As she spoke, she also lifted a corner of her clothing to dry it.
Qin Yi didn’t refuse but instead curiously asked her, "So, what happened back then when we were at the Huangjue Temple?"
"You don’t know?"
Su Pan’er was a bit surprised.
"I certainly know some of it, but my knowledge is not comprehensive. Moreover, all of it was relayed to me casually by the others."
"In essence, it’s just as you know it!"
"Apparently, some forces took advantage of the chaos at the Huangjue Temple to fish in troubled waters. They not only snatched away many young and beautiful daughters of officials but also extended their demon claws towards Ke’er and me."
Su Pan’er laughed. "Still, Ke’er and I managed to escape. Yet in the end, we were captured by Prince Xuan’s men, and it was Qin Hong who took us away and brought us here. By the way, what about you? What happened to you that day?"
"Prince Xuan had sent people to deal with His Majesty and they attacked in waves. In the end, they even pointed a rocket launcher at us..."
Just mentioning it made Qin Yi’s face darken.
He and Ye Han both knew how dangerous that weapon was and did not dare to resist. They were captured by the opponent and were made prisoners of lower rank. He recalled that people in the court were discussing this matter.
When he remembered how powerful that weapon was, Qin Yi became even more silent!
While he was deep in thought, he heard Su Pan’er casually say, "If you like those rocket launchers, I can get some for you."
Of course, Su Pan’er knew how to make gunpowder, but if she wanted to produce a weapon more powerful than the primitive rocket launcher used by the opponents, there would undoubtedly be many difficulties at present.
However, this still caused Qin Yi’s eyes to light up instantly!
"Pan’er, do you know how to produce gunpowder?"
"Let’s talk about this later."
Protected by the screen of clothes, Su Pan’er firmly grasped Qin Yi’s hand.
Qin Yi paused and then understood.
"Okay, these clothes are pretty much dry. You should get some sleep first. I will wake you when it’s time."
Unreservedly, Su Pan’er flipped the mud lump in the fire. Leaning against Qin Yi, she fell asleep.
No one came to chase them that night, releasing some of the tension. However, just when there was the faintest touch of white in the sky, Qin Yi woke everyone up and dug out the yellow mud chicken. It was a hard lump on the outside.
As Qin Yi removed the chicken feathers from its surface, the aromatic chicken meat was revealed, sending everyone into the frenzy. They all came forward, necks extended to see the well-cooked duck. Qin Yi didn’t keep it for himself, distributing a piece of meat to everyone to eat.
Although it was barely dawn, everyone quickly packed up and continued to set out.
The slippery downhill path, helped by the smooth ground, made the group walk faster than expected. By the time the sky was entirely light, they had already reached the bottom of the hill.
At the foot of the hill, there was a river, but no bridge was visible. They moved along the river until, after a long time, they saw a bridge only to encounter an unusual circumstance up ahead.
However, it was the rascal pig who discovered this.
"There are many men hiding on both sides of the entrance to this village. We just don’t know if these people are playing hide-and-seek with us."
Flapping its big fan-shaped pig ears, the rascal pig laughed lecherously.
No wonder it was laughing, in its eyes, this was indeed a fun thing. However, in the eyes of Su Pan’er and the others, it wasn’t so pleasant!
Those men guarding the entrance of the village were undoubtedly arranged by Qin Hong!
Since he realized Su Pan’er was missing, he flew into a rage, severely punished the people in the manor, as well as quickly analyzed the surrounding terrain in an effort to find Su Pan’er and the others.
Given the strong winds and the snow, along with the womenfolk in their party, they definitely couldn’t move quickly. What he had done was to use his familiarity with the surrounding terrain to station his men at nearby vital exits, awaiting Su Pan’er and the rest of the group to reveal themselves.
However, his guards didn’t expect that Su Pan’er and the others would reach this point so quickly.
You must know, it just dawned and it snowed last night.
At this moment, they were huddled together, enjoying breakfast. As a result, Su Pan’er and the others had already come very close to them.
