Chapter 691 Food

The pure white snow suddenly radiated dazzling light, Su Jin quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Zheng Guanqing was also awakened from his deep sleep by the sudden bright light.

raised his hand to block his eyes for a while, and when his eyes got used to the light, the two slowly put down their hands and slowly opened their eyes.

"General Zheng," Su Jin clapped his hands and stood up with a smile, "You watch the fire here, I'll go pick snow lotus and snow thistle, and by the way, I'll pick up some dead branches."

"I'll go too, and I'll have someone to take care of." Zheng Guanqing also got up, he naturally couldn't let Su Jin, a weak woman, go out to work, but stay here and enjoy the fire.

Su Jin is helpless, in fact, where is the need to take care of him? There are many tall pine trees growing in clumps in this area, and dry pine branches of various sizes can be seen everywhere on the ground. It is easy to pick up large piles of firewood. There are ready-made fires, and it takes time to dry them. Save it directly on the fire.

As for snow lotus and snow thistle, you can just go to the place where you went yesterday and pick it now. There are several snow lotus flowers, and snow thistle is also nearby, so there is no trouble at all.

It's just that Zheng Guanqing didn't give Su Jin a chance to refuse and stood up, so Su Jin had no choice but to let him.

Picked up snow lotus and snow thistle, and brought back two large piles of firewood. Su Jin hurriedly prepared the medicine and let Zheng Guanqing take it. There is still a lot of food left over from yesterday, and a little saving is enough to last until tomorrow.

As soon as the sun came out, it shone brightly and dazzlingly all over the snow-capped mountain. It was cold outside, and Zheng Guanqing also needed to recuperate, so neither of them went out and stayed in the snow cave to bake the fire.

Su Jin suddenly thought that a man's appetite is different from a woman's, and General Zheng is recovering from his injuries, and his body needs to absorb enough nutrients. If it can be done, he still needs to be full, so he smiles: " By the way, General Zheng, do you think this food is enough for us to eat until tomorrow? Do you want to think about getting some back?"

General Zheng glanced at her, then nodded after thinking about it: "I'll go out for a walk and see how lucky I am."

Although he is a noble person, he has suffered a lot from his apprenticeship since he was a child, and later in the military camp, he could not talk about the exquisite clothes and food, but Mrs. Qin is a woman after all. She held it in the palm of her hand and held the posture of pampering, where did she suffer from it on weekdays?

If it wasn't for herself this time, she wouldn't have to be afraid. How can I feel sorry for myself if I can't even provide her with a bite of fresh food?

If you can’t do it, that’s all.

Although Zheng Guanqing's poison has been relieved for the most part, Su Jin is not worried about letting him go out alone, so he smiles: "Then I will go too, maybe I can help."

Zheng Guanqing also didn't want her to leave her side. Although this place is sparsely populated, normally it is unlikely that there will be any danger, but who knows what if? Therefore, the two should not be separated.

Before leaving, Su Jin gathered up the ashes that had burned all night, and carefully covered most of the burning fire, so as to prolong the preservation time of the fire as much as possible, and the two of them would come back to avoid the trouble of lighting again. .

came out of the snow cave, and the two went down.

It was a bit difficult to find any prey during this period of white snow, but the snow gradually disappeared, and the vegetation was quite lush. When going up the mountain yesterday, Su Jin also saw a frightened snow chicken flapping its wings and screaming. run away.

went down about two or three hundred meters, and came to a broad and gentle place. When we got here, the snow had become sparse, and even the grass roots had not been submerged.

The vegetation on the high places of the snow-capped mountains is greener and greener than in the plains, and the air is clean and clear, which makes the color of the vegetation so full and green that it seems to flow out into a fluid.

The flowers on the high mountains are equally gorgeous and scorching, blooming with a different kind of beauty in the cold wind and the dazzling sunshine.

It was just the two of them, but they didn't have any intention of admiring the beautiful scenery. Both of them stared at each other with their eyes fixed and held their breaths to see if there was any prey around.

Su Jin's eyes lit up, and he pointed to a cliff not far and near to the left and whispered in surprise and joy, "General Zheng, look, there are wild sheep there!"

There are about seven or eight wild sheep, not very big, the largest looks like only 20 pounds, with gray-white fur, long curved horns, strong posture and firm flesh, they are walking slowly on the cliff. Chew and eat.

Zheng Guanqing's eyes also lit up, and he chuckled: "It seems that we are lucky, that's them! You are waiting here!"

squeezed the sword in his hand, he felt a little regretful. It's a pity, if there is a bow and arrow in hand at this moment, where is the need for such trouble?

Such a distance is difficult to achieve in the eyes of others, but for him, the arrow must be missed.

"Wait a minute," Su Jin said, "These wild sheep seem to be good at escaping. If they are disturbed, we will go home empty-handed. I will go around there. How about General Zheng waiting for the rabbits in ambush? "

Zheng Guanqing glanced in the two directions she pointed, and nodded with a chuckle: "Mrs. Qin thinks so much, so let's do it! Madam Qin, be careful, this mountain road is steep and difficult to walk."

Su Jin smiled: "Well, let's split up and act!"

Yesterday, she climbed the snowy mountain all day, why is she afraid of the steep mountain road?

Zheng Guanqing naturally understood this, so she did not reject her, and let her go over and startle the snake.

Su Jin made a big circle from the side to the upper left of the wild sheep, picked up the rocks and threw them a few times. The wild sheep raised their necks and stared blankly. She stared in her direction cautiously.

But these guys are too. Maybe they rarely see people on weekdays. They clearly see Su Jin.

As for the stone that Su Jin threw over, they didn't care, and instead glanced at it curiously.

Su Jin held his forehead, somewhat dumbfounded.

She acted vicious and threw stones at the sheep and shouted loudly. The sheep finally realized that this was not a good thing, it was dangerous, and they turned around and ran away subconsciously.

Zheng Guanqing, who had been waiting for the rabbit for a long time, easily shot and killed a fat wild sheep.

Su Jin clapped his hands and giggled: "It's done, it's done! There's roast lamb to eat!"

Although there are countless roast lambs in Wushuicheng, this kind of wild sheep on the snow-capped mountains has never been seen before, and it looks delicious at first glance.

Perhaps, it's because you haven't eaten a good meal in the past two days, so you're particularly greedy?

Su Jin came down from the cliff, and Zheng Guanqing was waiting for her there.

Seeing her come down safely, Zheng Guanqing subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, "Mrs. Qin go up to the leeward and wait for a while, I'll take care of the sheep and let's go back."
