Chapter 497

Sure enough, before reaching the lake, tiny snowflakes floated in the sky, falling down like snow-white fluff, and it didn't take long for the ground and branches to be covered with a thin layer of snow-white.

Mo Lingyuan found a place sheltered from the wind, found some clean straw and spread it on the ground, let Chu Yunyao sit down, set up the fishing rod, and handed the other end of the fishing rod to Chu Yunyao: "You Watch, I'll get some dry sticks and come over and make a fire, so you won't be cold."

Chu Yunyao obediently held the fishing rod and watched Mo Lingyuan stride away.

After a while, Mo Lingyuan came back with a thick bundle of straw and branches.

In his hand was a bundle wrapped in rags. After shaking it open, it contained more than a dozen sweet potatoes and potatoes of different sizes.

Mo Lingyuan swiftly pulled out the dagger he carried with him from his cuff, dug a small hole in the ground, threw sweet potatoes and potatoes into it, covered it with a thin layer of soil, and lit the straw.

The fire quickly ignited, and the burnt black grass ash was flying everywhere, Chu Yunyao stood a little further away.

Mo Lingyuan threw twigs into the fire, and when the twigs burned, he added thicker twigs to it.

Bright flames flickered and blue smoke curled up.

Mo Lingyuan took off his coat, spread it on the straw, sat on it by himself, pointed to the seat beside him, and waved to Chu Yunyao, motioning for her to come and sit too.

Chu Yunyao leaned against him, saw that his movements were agile and skilled, and asked, "Does your barracks often conduct field training?"

Mo Lingyuan sneered, and stared at the movement of the lake for a moment: "When I was young, I went out with the guard once, and encountered assassination, the guard tried their best to break through, and hid me in a haystack halfway.

I was so scared that I waited all day in the haystack, but no one came to rescue me.

At that time, I was very hungry and scared. Fortunately, I met a group of children. They took advantage of the moonlight to touch fish and shrimps in the river. They dug sweet potatoes and potatoes from the ground and baked them. They also shared some with me. Be with them all the time.

At that time, my mother had just passed away, and all the guards who followed me died.

Father Marshal looked for me like crazy, everyone thought I was dead, only he and Ling Wei firmly believed that I was still alive.

A month later, he stood in front of me, and I was dressed in tattered clothes, like a little beggar. This month, I learned how to live with those children who have no father or mother... "

Chu Yunyao listened quietly, and asked, "Those children, have they all become your confidantes now?"

"They changed their names and changed their surnames, and they are all in the military camp. Luo Zifeng is the child king who shared half of my food back then." Mo Lingyuan curled his lips, pulled the fishing rod, and a white crucian carp the length of chopsticks hung on the fish on the hook.

"Wow, there are fish hooked so soon." Chu Yunyao was about to stand up and help take the fish down.

Mo Lingyuan held him down: "Don't move, just sit here and enjoy the fire, I'll be fine."

He quickly took the fish down, squatted by the river, cut open the fish in the clean lake water, cleaned it, took out salt from his pocket, daubed it on the fish, put a wire on the fish, and put it on the fire. Pile up and bake up.

"The first fish, I'll bake it for you, lest you starve." Mo Lingyuan poked the fire, and threw a few branches into the fire, making the fire more vigorous.

Chu Yunyao hugged her bent legs with both arms, and sat beside the fire, her body was warmed by the heat, her chin rested on her knees, and she stared fixedly at Mo Lingyuan.

With the dazzling identity of the young commander of the Mo family gone, his appearance at this moment is not much different from that of an ordinary family man...
