C39 mental protection

Song Yue looked like he did not need to worry, "Madam, it's alright, there's a spring in another place on the mountain."

Bai Xian's mood was very good. This was the first time she felt relaxed in this world. Her steps were slow, and she walked while looking at the scenery on the two sides of the road.

Autumn was a harvest time, and many trees had fruits on them. Bai Xian saw a chestnut tree and told everyone to pick the chestnuts up first.

Song Yue was worried, he followed behind Bai Xian and saw that Bai Xian was bending over to pick up the thorny fruits, he was confused: "This fruit can be eaten too?"

Bai Xian looked at Song Yue's dazed look, and smiled: "Of course, I'll tell you how to eat it later."

With Song Yue's help, Bai Xian quickly collected a bag of chestnuts. Behind her, Song Yue's eyes were blazing with fire.

There were many of these trees on several mountains near the border. People had never thought that these fruits could be eaten when they looked at them.

If what Bai Xian said was true, then it would really be too good to see the citizens of Qiguo have another type of food.

Song Yue took the cloth bag from Bai Xian's hands. He was reluctant to let Bai Xian get hurt in front of him, so he followed closely behind Bai Xian. If Bai Xian tumbled backwards, he could catch him.

At first, she didn't understand why Song Yue was walking behind her. Due to being distracted, when Bai Xian stepped on the stairs, he was not able to stand steadily, and his body immediately fell forward.

At this critical moment, Song Yue reached out and grabbed Bai Xian's waist, allowing Bai Xian to be safe.

Feeling the big hand on her waist, Bai Xian's small face flushed red. She quietly raised her head and looked at Song Yue: "Thank you."

Song Yue released his arm and said seriously: "It's alright, be more careful next time."

The two of them walked forward just like before. Song Yue rubbed his ears, his red face was covered by the mask but his ears could not stop it. When he hugged Bai Xian just now, he was extremely embarrassed.

The two of them finally reunited with Bai’s mother and the others. The three of them were sitting in a pavilion at the side of the mountain, Song Cheng was fiddling with the food box.

The moment Bai Xiu saw Bai Xian, he pounced on her. "Sis, you guys are really slow."

Bai Xian mischievously laughed and said: "Aiya, since Little Xiu thinks I'm slow, then I won't let him eat the delicious things that I picked up."

Bai Xiu was unwilling to let it go and laugh with Bai Xian, so Song Yue gave him a meaningful glance: "Madam, Bai Xian, let's go catch some prey."

Bai Xian volunteered to go and collect firewood. Naturally, Bai Xiu was her big sister's follower, and the two of them picked firewood near the pavilion.

Having been in the Ancient Era for so long, Bai Xian was already used to burning firewood. She first took the chestnuts she just saw and placed them in a shallow pit, then started a small fire on top of the pit.

Bai Xiu asked curiously: "Elder sister, can I really eat that thorny thing just now?"

Bai Xian nodded: "You will know in a while."

Song Yue and Song Cheng returned to the pergola with their hands full of prey. Bai Xian did not expect Song Yue and Song Cheng to deal with wild chickens and rabbits, so she resigned herself to her fate and walked over to them. "Let me go to the river bank to deal with it, tell me where the river is?"

Song Yue silently memorized the map that Lu Yi gave him, picked up his prey and walked in a direction: "I'll take you there."

Seeing him being so familiar, Bai Xian thought that he had come to this mountain often before, but who would have thought that Song Yue had never come before.

After walking for a dozen or so meters, Bai Xian made a turn on the mountain road and saw a clear and small river not far away. She ran happily to the side of the river and watched the river leave spots of light under the sunlight.

Bai Xian suddenly liked this place. She dealt with the ingredients cleanly, and because she could not bear to dirty the river, Song Yue found a big leaf to help her wash.

Bai Xian casually took out the seasonings in his small bag to marinate the two chickens and two rabbits. Then, he told Song Yue to pick a few pieces of the large leaves and wrap them up before returning back to the pergola.

Bai’s mother had already built two fires according to Bai Xian's instructions. Bai Xian placed the things on the fires and started to pull the chestnuts that had just been roasted.

Under the high temperature, the thorny outer shell of the chestnut had already cracked open, revealing the chestnuts inside. Bai Xian picked one up to show everyone.

Seeing Bai Xian eating with relish, everyone started to nervously pick up their chestnuts to eat. No one could blame their inexperience, it was the people of this world that had never eaten this kind of food before.

However, the soft, pink chestnuts tasted extremely good. After eating the first fruit, Bai Xiu and Song Cheng started to eat them one by one, as if they were competition.

's eyes were shining. At this time, Bai Xian was the person he worshipped the most, he wanted to tell his cousin the news, that the people at the border don't have much food. Now that there's one more type of food, this winter would probably be better.

Bai’s mother took out the food from the food box and shared it with everyone. Bai Xian's excellent skills once again conquered everyone present.

Everyone chatted as they ate delicious food. As time passed, the fragrance of wild chicken and rabbit gradually wafted out.

Song Cheng regretted eating so many chestnuts. He still wanted to taste more.

Bai Xian reckoned that the temperature of the roasted wild game was about right. As he was trying to extinguish the fire, he saw a group of people walking up the mountain road.

Seeing that they were dressed like a bunch of scholars, Bai Xian retracted his gaze and focused on looking at the bonfire in front of him.

But the heavens were not fair, and a gust of wind blew the ashes of the fire upon a young master, whose white robe was immediately turned into a grey robe.

had closed her eyes because she was worried that the cigarette ash would get into her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes, she thought to herself: "Young Master, it's really not good."

That Young Master seemed to be the leader of a group of scholars, and before he could say anything, someone jumped out from the side to criticize Bai Xian, "You little girl, do you know who the Young Master is? This is our county's most powerful High Scholar Lin, and he was the Top Scorer back then."

High Scholar Lin's attitude was much better than a small fry. He comforted Bai Xian gently: "Don't worry, if your clothes are dirty, you can wash."

Song Yue and Song Cheng walked to the middle of the pavilion, between Bai Xian and the High Scholar Lin. Bai Xiu nervously pulled her sister's hand.

Song Yue cupped his hands towards High Scholar Lin: "I'm so sorry, we can compensate you for the clothes."

The small fry clamored again: "Our High Scholar Lin is not stinking like you guys."

Song Cheng's eyes changed, this was the first time someone rolled their eyes at him.

Bai Xian took out a silver coin from his bag: "High Scholar Lin, it was my daughter who made a mistake. I am willing to compensate you for your clothes, please accept this."

Seeing Bai Xian's sincere apology, High Scholar Lin could only accept the compensation. He cupped his hands towards Bai Xian and continued to lead the group forward.

Song Yue looked at Bai Xian with concern: "Are you alright?"
