Chapter 178: Everyone is numb from the cold, but they still say it’s okay!

While Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan were running over, the silly Song Jiuchi threw off his coat and quickly jumped into the ice cave of the ice lake.

"This fool!"

Song Jiuli, who was not far away, shouted loudly, but fortunately Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan acted quickly.

When the two reached the edge of the ice cave, Song Jiuchi had already found Qi Chu, who had fallen into the water and was almost sinking, and tried hard to lift her up.

"ChuChu, catch me!"

Jiang Wan used her supernatural powers to drag Qi Chu out of the water, while Song Jiuyuan also pulled Song Jiuchi onto the ice.

The two of them were spitting out ice water frantically and shivering with cold.

Fortunately, Qiu Niang was smart and brought a few thick coats. Jiang Wan quickly put the coats on Qi Chu.

"Chu Chu, are you feeling better?"

"I...I'm fine, A-choo!"

Qi Chu sneezed several times right after he finished speaking. Song Jiuchi, who was being taken care of by Qingshan nearby, suddenly said something.

"I'm almost numb from the cold, and you still say you're fine."

He felt like he was about to lose consciousness all over his body. This woman was really strong-willed all her life.

Qi Chu frowned in pain and groaned, "How dare you say that? If you hadn't insisted on competing with me to see who's better at catching wild ducks, would we have fallen into the ice cave?!"

"A-choo... A-choo!!! How can you blame me for this?"

Song Jiuchi sneezed several times in a row, which made Qi Chu feel a little guilty.

If it wasn't for saving her, Song Jiuchi wouldn't have had to jump into such icy water.

"Okay, you two go change your clothes first."

Jiang Wan was speechless. She didn't expect that the two of them were still in the mood to quarrel at this time.

Song Jiuyuan even gave a direct death order, "Song Jiuchi, get out!"

“I know.”

Song Jiuchi knew he was wrong and did not dare to refute. He was helplessly supported by Qingshan and walked back.

Qiu Niang supported Qi Chu, and both of them were trembling slightly, and their legs were shaking from the cold.

The little Lu Shui dragged back the six wild ducks that Jiang Wan had shot before.

Song Jiuli and Madam Song walked towards them with excitement on their faces because the ice was too slippery.

Madam Song was weak, so Song Jiuli walked slowly for fear of hurting her.

"Chu Chu, Jiu Chi, how are you two doing?"

Mrs. Song's face was full of heartache and regret. If she had known earlier, she should not have allowed them to fight on the ice.

Qi Chu forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'm fine."

"Mom, I'm fine!"

Song Jiuchi's teeth were chattering from the cold, and his lips were trembling as he spoke.

Mrs. Song felt distressed and speechless. Everyone quickly returned to the carriage, and Qiu Niang and Lu Shui found new clothes for them.

Qingshan cleverly picked up some firewood, dug up a pile of snow, and started a fire directly on the spot.

"Lushui, go make some ginger tea."

As Jiang Wan spoke, she took out some cold-relieving herbs from her luggage and prepared them.

Song Jiuyuan's mentality was obviously better. He had already picked up the wild duck on the ground and started to deal with it.

Song Jiuli was helping out, and she was a little worried. "Sister-in-law, the water is so cold, will my second brother and sister Qi get frozen?"

This was also the question that Madam Song wanted to ask. Upon hearing this, she quickly looked at Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan helplessly spread her hands and said, "We have to observe. If there is no fever tonight, it should be fine."

"Don't worry, Sister Jiang. I'm in good health. Just keep me warm."

Qi Chu changed his clothes and came out, then hurriedly sat down by the fire, and only then did he feel his stiff body gradually warming up.

The fingers that had been stiff just now became flexible. Qiu Niang took a towel and carefully wiped her hair.

"I hope you're all right, too."

Jiang Wan's tone was somewhat helpless, but the temperature was below zero and she had to soak in the ice water for at least one or two minutes, so she had better be careful.

As they were talking, Song Jiuchi also changed his clothes and came out. His face was pale and he blew a breath of hot air on his stiff fingers.

"I'm in good health, so I'll be fine."

"Jiuchi, let me help you wipe your hair."

There was heartache in Mrs. Song's eyes. No matter how old a child is, he is still a child in the eyes of his parents.

Song Jiuchi did not refuse. The two guys kept sneezing. Fortunately, Lu Shui quickly made ginger tea.

Serving them one by one, Song Jiuchi and Qi Chu drank the ginger tea at the same time.

It felt so warm that my whole body instantly felt warm.

"Sister Jiang, you still care about me."

Qi Chu grinned, earning a roll of the eyes from Jiang Wan. "If you dare to do something this dangerous again next time, I won't care about you!"

"That's because Song Jiuchi insisted on competing with me!"

Qi Chu rolled his eyes at Song Jiuchi in annoyance, and Song Jiuchi got angry again.

"I'm better than you, what's there to compare?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Song Jiuyuan washed the wild duck and asked Jiang Wan gently.

"How are you going to eat this wild duck?"

"Roast it and eat it."

Jiang Wan rubbed her hands and said to Qiu Niang, "Qiu Niang, you learn a little. I will only teach you once."

She didn't plan to do everything herself in the future, that would be exhausting.

Teach an apprentice and she can be as bad as she wants.

"Yes, Master!"

Qiu Niang nodded obediently, wiping Qi Chu's hair while her eyes fell on Jiang Wan's actions.

The other two who were watching seriously were Song Jiuyuan and Song Jiuli, each of them holding two forked wild ducks in their hands.

"Sister-in-law, I want to learn too."

Song Jiuli's eyes sparkled. Once she learned how to do it, she would be able to help share the burden with her family.

"no problem."

Jiang Wan loved food in her previous life, and through the influence of her surroundings, her cooking skills have become quite good.

She flipped the roast duck and quietly took out some seasonings from the space, including cumin, chili powder, pepper powder, and barbecue seasoning.

When the roasted duck was charred on both sides, she sprinkled seasoning on it, of course, because she was roasting two at the same time.

So one of them added some ingredients, and the other only added salt. Even so, the fragrance was overflowing, and Qi Chu exaggeratedly fanned his nose with his hands.

"Wow, it smells so good."

“You can eat now!”

Jiang Wan took out the new daggers she had bought earlier and happily distributed them to everyone.

"I forgot to give you the presents I bought for you before."

She distributed them to everyone one by one. Song Jiuli took the dagger in her hand and smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"Thank you, sister-in-law, I like it very much!"

“I like it too!”

Song Jiuchi grinned foolishly. Jiang Wan gave him a top-quality bow and arrow, which he couldn't let go of and kept touching.

Even Madam Song received a gift from Jiang Wan. Song Jiuyuan looked at his empty hands and felt lost for a moment.

Until a fine sword appeared in front of him, "Song Jiuyuan, I saw that you seemed to like using swords before.

This is the best sword in Yongba City, you can use it for now!"

"No compromise!"

Song Jiuyuan took it happily. To him, the gift she gave him was naturally the best.

"Ah, my duck!"

Song Jiuli screamed and hurriedly turned the duck on the rack. It was obvious that she failed in her first attempt to roast the duck.

The other side of the duck was so burnt black that there was almost no space to eat it.

Everyone: ...
