Chapter 378: Just interested in you

Xie Li's eyes could see clearly even in the thick fog, so after taking a break, he took the initiative to look for firewood nearby for heating.

Even if he encounters danger, he can easily avoid it.

Xie Chunyan was already used to this, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with a child under twelve years old acting alone.

Of course she wouldn't think there was a problem, because Xie Li was not at all like what she described. Xie Li was very strong.

During the extreme cold, all the trees on the mountain were cut down, leaving only some dead tree roots on the mountain. Xie Li used a dagger to cut the tree roots into several pieces and lit them with a flint.

"Mom, I found a good thing when I was digging tree roots just now," Xie Li took out a dead snake as if he was offering a treasure.

Xiang Yu looked closely and saw that there were marks of a dagger scratching the snake's seven inches, and it was the kind that could have killed it with one blow.

It can be seen that the snake was killed by Xie Li before it had time to struggle.

Xie Chunyan seemed to have gotten used to it, as Xie Li would always add a snack for them from time to time.

After skinning the snake, simply scrape the contents of its stomach with a dagger, then skewer it on a stick and roast it over a fire.

The two of them ate with gusto. Xie Chunyan took a roasted snake and handed it to Xiang Yu, "You should have some too. This snake meat is very delicious, even better than pork..."

There was nostalgia in Xie Chunyan's eyes. Their family used to run a slaughterhouse and they had endless pork to eat every day.

Now, after a few years in the last days, the taste in her mouth has faded, and she has even forgotten what pork tastes like.

Without any seasoning, the snake meat was simply grilled, and it tasted delicious to the two of them.

"I've already eaten, you guys eat..." Xiang Yu rejected her kindness. Xie Chunyan's sincerity reached her eyes, and it was obvious that this person was indeed kind-hearted.

After dinner, Xie Chunyan pulled a corner of the thin quilt over her legs, leaned her back on the gravel, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Li quietly picked up the dagger and chopped the firewood, then put it into the fire.

Xiang Yu did not enter the tent, but took out an alcohol lamp and boiled some hot water.

In the second half of the night, Xie Chunyan's light snoring could be heard. Xie Li looked towards Xiang Yu. Without Xie Chunyan standing between them, the atmosphere between them instantly became subtle.

"I'm not going to pretend anymore..." Xiang Yu looked up at Xie Li. Half of the little boy's face was hidden in the thick fog, and the firelight shone on his face.

His expression became even gloomier. He opened the thermos cup of hot tea and blew gently towards Yu.

Xie Li turned his head and met Xiang Yu’s gaze.

The expression on his face at this moment was completely different from that during the day. In front of Xie Chunyan, he was still that ignorant little boy.

But at this moment, he looked at Xiang Yu with murderous intent in his eyes, "We have already got the information you want, why are you still following us..."

When Xie Chunyan invited Xiang Yu to go with her during the day, he actually wanted to refuse, but Mother Xie hadn't had such a happy chat with others for a long time.

He didn't want to disturb his mother's mood.

"You know exactly why I did this. The kid who was injected with the divine fluid must be you..."

Xiang Yu's tone was affirmative, and Xie Li's expression changed in an instant, and the hand holding the dagger clenched.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xie Chunyan for a few seconds, then slowly stood up, a child less than 1.5 meters tall.

His aura was no less than that of an adult. He walked to Xiang Yu, who still had a calm look on his face.

"You'd better think it over before you start fighting with me," Xiang Yu then raised his eyes and looked at the little boy in front of him.

An unprecedented sense of crisis loomed in the little boy's heart. When he met Xiang Yu's murderous eyes, his body instantly stepped back and then stood on tiptoe.

He jumped three meters high with ease. After retreating several times, he still looked at Xiang Yu with vigilance.

Just at that moment, all the hairs on his body stood up, as if he would die if he got one step closer. He had never felt this way before.

Carefully moving to Xie Chunyan's side, the little boy was still wary of Xiang Yu.

He knew that Mother Xie was a kind-hearted person, otherwise she would not have taken him away from City F. However, it was this kindness that brought her a lot of trouble along the way.

In the past few years alone, he has secretly solved such problems no less than six times.

Xiang Yu looked at his body's instant reaction just now, his fast speed and jumping ability. Although she could do it, she also attributed it to the fact that she had been training herself in the past few years.

But this little boy had never been trained.

"I won't do anything to Xie Chunyan, I'm just interested in you..." Xiang Yu directly stated his intentions.

The noise of the two still woke Xie Chunyan up. She looked at Xie Li standing in front of her with a dagger in his hand, and immediately guessed what had happened between the two.

"Xiao Li, it's so late, you should take a rest first. We still have to travel tomorrow..." Xie Chunyan's words were very effective, and the dagger in Xie Li's hand was taken away by her.
