Chapter 76 Catch the night road
After the paste was cooked, Qiao Yi sent it to Yue Xi.
Signaled him to eat carefully, not to burn it, and then returned to sit next to Mu Qing.
Qiao Yi was also polite, and directly picked up a pheasant that passed the test, broke off a chicken thigh, and handed it to Mu Qing.
"Eat chicken legs."
"Um."
Mu Qing took the chicken leg and glanced at Qiao Yi.
Seeing that Qiao Yi looked like he had made a lot of money, he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
His wife is really big-hearted.
For things that haven't happened, it's useless for him to remind him, and this is likely to be mistaken by the wife-lord for jealousy and suspicion.
Thinking of this, Mu Qing sighed, let's take one step at a time, maybe he is too worried.
"Here, eat more."
Qiao Yi also handed the other chicken leg to Mu Qing.
Because they each ate two pieces of scallion pancakes before, they were not too hungry at this time, so two people and one chicken were enough to eat.
Yue Xi drank the ginseng paste that Qiao Yi had stewed, watched the interaction between Qiao Yi and Mu Qing, and said in her heart that she was not envious, that was a lie.
He dreamed of living such a life.
"What's wrong? Are you envious?"
Yue Ying held a roasted rabbit in her hand and sat beside Yue Xi.
Yue Xi glanced at Yueying, didn't speak, but bowed his head to drink porridge.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will always support you, your sister. If, I mean, if you really want to marry her, I will help you."
Although she has a little opinion on Joey, in general, Joey is really a good person.
"You should worry about yourself. I remember that my birthday is also your birthday. Whether you get married or not, you will be stuffed with men."
"No, I have a way."
Yueying looked confident.
"You paid one hundred taels in the sixteenth year, one thousand taels in the seventeenth year, ten thousand taels in the eighteenth year, and fifty thousand taels in the nineteenth year. I'm afraid you can't do it this year without one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Yue Attack directly dismantled Yue Ying's so-called method.
Moon Shadow: "..."
Her brother still likes to tear her down so much.
"Why don't you get married too, I want to be an uncle, you can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever, you should forget about that."
Yue Xi glanced at the one who had been eaten up by himself, and frowned slightly. He was not full yet.
But thinking that I haven't eaten for a long time, I stopped wanting to eat some barbecue, which is not good for my stomach.
"I will, and I should let it go."
"What should you put down? Rabbit? If you don't want to eat, you can give it to me. There are still several people in my family."
Qiaoyi walked over, and when she heard Yueying say put it down, she couldn't help but speak.
"I'm not full yet, why should I give it to you? Go away."
Yueying doesn't like this woman who will take away her brother in the future.
"If you don't give it, you won't give it. Huh? I came here to tell you that it may rain today, and it may not be too small."
"Rain? Do you still watch the weather?"
Yueying doesn’t believe it, isn’t the weather pretty good, the sun is still shining brightly during the day.
Moreover, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and there is no sign of rain at all.
"It might rain in the middle of the night, and now we have three choices, either go up a tree to sleep, but it will definitely rain. Or go to a cave to shelter from the rain, but this possibility is very low, there is nothing nearby Cave. The last option, we go back at night."
It has been sultry and hot for several days, and it is estimated that the rain must be serious.
Thinking of this, Joey felt a little worried.
If it rains heavily, it will be very dangerous in this mountain forest.
There may be mudslides or something at any time.
"Why should I trust you?"
Yueying raised her eyebrows. She has never seen anyone who can predict the weather in advance.
"Look at the sky in the west, is it pitch black? And it has been sweltering for several days recently, and there is no wind. This is a harbinger of a storm."
Joe explained patiently.
"Let me see."
Hearing what Qiao Yi said was true, Yue Ying was dubious, but she got up and climbed the tree, and began to observe the weather.
Don’t really say anything, it’s the same as what Joey said.
"Green Bamboo, quickly call everyone and hurry up."
Yueying flew down and ordered loudly.
"Yes."
Although I don't understand why I have to travel all night, but the master's words are imperial decrees and must be obeyed.
Soon Moon Shadow's subordinates were assembled, and everyone held a torch in their hands.
"Divide into two teams, one team will lead the way, and the other team will be in the back, and go out of the mountain as fast as possible."
Yueying gave an order, bent down and carried Yuexi behind her back.
"Joy, you go in the middle."
"Um."
Joy was not pretentious, and nodded directly.
Going in the middle is the easiest and safest way. She doesn't have the ability to protect herself. Of course she won't be a hero.
Signaling Mu Qing to follow him closely, the group of people covered the fire with soil, took the leftover barbecue and started to set off.
Seeing that Green Bamboo and the others were well-trained to put out the fire without leaving any kindling, Qiao Yi was in admiration.
The security awareness of the ancients was not so strong.
Going on the road overnight, one can imagine the hard work involved.
After walking quickly for two hours, the people who opened the way in front changed twice. At this time, even Mu Qing couldn't move.
"are you OK?"
Qiao Yi looked at Mu Qing worriedly.
Now there are no stars in the sky, and the sky is so stuffy, she feels that it is difficult to vent her breath.
"I... I'm... okay."
Mu Qing panted heavily while speaking.
Even so, Mu Qing's pace did not stop.
"If you can't walk, you can't walk. What can you do? Come here and I will carry you."
Seeing this, Qiao Yi knew that Mu Qing really couldn't move anymore.
"No... no, I... I can."
One word, Mu Qing had to gasp, but he didn't want Qiao Yi to recite it.
Now not only he is tired, everyone is tired, so he doesn't want to drag Joey down.
If he walked like usual, he would be fine for a whole day, but today he walked too fast, and he really couldn't hold on anymore.
"I will carry you for a while, and then you will walk by yourself, hurry up."
Joy's tone was a little tough.
No choice, Mu Qing had no choice but to lie on Qiao Yi's back.
Mu Qing looked at Qiao Yi's not-so-broad but extremely solid back, and felt sweet in his heart.
With more weight on his body, Joey took a lot of heavy steps, but he didn't fall behind the team at all.
You must know that she was a big soldier for two years at the beginning. Although she retired from the army and didn't exercise much after entering the society, she still has a foundation.
At this time, the sky has begun to rain sparsely.
"Palace Master, it's raining, and it's still an hour before we get out of the mountain."
The voice of green bamboo came from the front.
"Speed up and get out of the mountain before it rains hard."
Yueying was talking, but her pace was much faster.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Mu Qing said: "My wife, please let me down, I will go by myself."
Listening to Qiao Yi panting heavily while trotting, Mu Qing couldn't stay on Qiao Yi's back at all.
If you don't carry yourself behind your back, the wife-lord won't be so tired.
"Can you?"
Joy spoke a little worriedly.
