Chapter 68 They were rejected by a dog
Looking at the busy, petite figure in front of me, and smelling the delicious aroma of the food.
Jiang Xun's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
I don't know why, but every time I see this girl, I feel very happy.
Shen Zhao, who was standing to the side, pursed his lips and unconsciously touched his stomach; he seemed to be a little hungry.
"You're back!" Jiang Feiyan turned around and saw the two of them standing at the door. "You two rest for a bit. There are still a few dishes left, it'll be quick."
"It's alright." Jiang Xun piled the chopped firewood in the corner and sat down on the small stool by the stove. "Let me help you start the fire."
"Alright then." Jiang Feiyan began preparing the other dishes.
After pouring the water into the water vat, Shen Zhao found it wasn't full yet, so he said, "I'll go fetch two more buckets of water."
The place to fetch water is a bit far; it takes at least 30 minutes to walk there and back.
Jiang Feiyan quickly stopped him, saying, "No need, the food will be ready soon, and I don't need that much water right away."
Shen Zhao ignored him and walked away with his head down.
Although he was very hungry, he had to fulfill his promise to fill the water tank for them.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Feiyan's lips twitched; this person was truly a dullard.
Jiang Xun added a few twigs to the stove, fiddled with them with the fire tongs, and looked up at her, saying:
"What's the name of that dish you just made? I don't think I've ever had it before."
Jiang Feiyan smiled, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling, "It's called sauerkraut fish. The sauerkraut and fish slices are cooked together. Doesn't it smell delicious?"
"Yeah, it's really good." Could he admit that he almost drooled just now?
Jiang Feiyan added, "You can handle spicy food, right? You can eat more later."
"Okay." Jiang Xun glanced at her with sparkling eyes and nodded with a smile.
Jiang Feiyan cooked the remaining three dishes very quickly, in just over 10 minutes.
As soon as the food was served, the little yellow dog kept circling around under the table with longing eyes.
Jiang Feiyan patted the little guy's head: "Wait a little longer, there are still guests who haven't returned."
Not long after he finished speaking, Shen Zhao returned carrying two buckets of water.
He knew that wasting time was not good, so he traveled quickly the whole way.
As expected of someone from the military, he has excellent balance. Even when he quickened his pace, he didn't spill much water from the bucket.
"Woof woof woof!" As soon as Little Yellow saw him, he jumped up and down happily. It was time to eat!
Jiang Feiyan served it half a bowl of rice, added a few pieces of chicken and pork cracklings with cabbage, poured in some broth, stirred it, and placed it on the ground: "Little Yellow, eat up."
The little guy watched anxiously from the side, and as soon as he heard his owner's command, he immediately lowered his head and began to wolf down his food, making loud slurping noises as he ate with great gusto.
Upon seeing this, both Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao couldn't help but show a dark expression on their faces.
This dog eats the same food as them, and even better than most people.
It seems to have a good owner; look at its glossy fur, it must be very healthy.
When the two of them ate the dishes prepared by Jiang Feiyan, they were filled with admiration.
This cooking skill is absolutely amazing, comparable to that of a head chef at a state-run restaurant.
If I could eat it every day, I would be quite satisfied.
Thinking this, both of them felt a little envious of Xiao Huang.
Unexpectedly, one day they would envy a dog.
If I said that, who would believe me...?
(Little Yellow grins: Hehe *^▽^*, whoever becomes the male owner in the future can eat the owner's cooking every day~)
Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao both enjoyed the meal very much.
After they finished eating, both men rushed to clear the table, but Jiang Xun got there first.
Shen Zhao, with a stern face, looked around and then picked up a broom and began sweeping the courtyard.
Jiang Feiyan: ......
Aren't these two being a little too polite?
Well, since they wanted to help, she couldn't very well stop them.
Jiang Feiyan simply sat on the recliner outside the door and played with Xiao Huang.
After they finished tidying up, Jiang Feiyan suggested they go for a walk in the mountains.
I'll take a walk to digest my food and also see if I can find any other clues.
This morning we made some progress in finding the shoe print in the mountains, but all the evidence points to Wu Qi.
If no other leads are found, given the previous circumstances, Wu Qi's situation is rather precarious.
These days, investigative techniques are not mature enough, and wrongful convictions still occur.
Jiang Feiyan was worried that Wu Qi would eventually be tortured into confessing and be convicted of murder, which would be terrible.
She couldn't predict the outcome of this matter, but she could do her best to help find the truth.
The group retraced the route that Xiao Huang had run along that morning and found something else.
In a secluded patch of grass, Shen Zhao found a small red hair clip.
Jiang Feiyan immediately recognized it; she had seen it on the head of Huang Yi, a female educated youth.
The group immediately prepared to turn back, but after walking for a short while, a torrential downpour suddenly began, so they had to find a small cave nearby to take shelter from the rain.
As soon as they entered the dark cave, Little Yellow started barking incessantly at the innermost wall of the cave for some reason.
Jiang Feiyan thought it was afraid of the dark, so she held the little guy in her arms and comforted it, "It's okay, I'm here."
"Waaaaah~" Little Yellow opened its big, round eyes and struggled restlessly.
Jiang Feiyan glared at it: "Be quiet."
Hearing its owner scold it, the little guy drooped its head pitifully, no longer daring to misbehave.
Jiang Xun found some dry firewood in the cave and lit a fire with the matches he carried with him.
A clear, gentle voice said, "Let the little guy come here; he's probably a bit frightened from being caught in the rain."
"Okay, sure." Jiang Feiyan gave him a grateful look.
Shen Zhao sat to the side, holding a red hairpin in his hand, still frowning and thinking about the case, and did not notice this scene.
About 20 minutes later, the heavy rain stopped.
As Xiao Huang followed everyone into the cave, it let out two low sobs, its eyes constantly gazing back into the cave.
After walking for a while, it reluctantly turned its head back and rubbed against Jiang Feiyan's calf.
Jiang Feiyan looked down at it: "What's wrong? Are you still thinking about that cave? Aren't you afraid of the dark?"
Little Yellow blinked its innocent big eyes and tilted its head to look at her, as if it wanted to say that it had discovered something.
Unfortunately, it couldn't speak, and its attention was eventually drawn to a butterfly in front of it, so it gave up.
As the group passed by a large tree, a meter-long green snake suddenly darted out of the bushes.
"Hiss~" The green snake hissed, staring menacingly at Jiang Feiyan, who was closest to it.
The green snake's forebody was tightly contracted, a sign that it was preparing to attack.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun's eyes darkened, and he quickly whispered, "Jiang Zhiqing, don't move, I'll deal with it!"
Shen Zhao's face tightened, and he said, "Let me do it, it's easier for me to get the angle."
However, no sooner had the two finished speaking than Jiang Feiyan made her move.
When venturing into the mountains, Jiang Feiyan habitually carries a sharpened wooden stick to probe the way.
With a flick of her wrist, she swiftly and accurately stabbed the green snake with the wooden stick in her hand.
"Pfft!" Before the green snake could react, a hole was pierced in its body, and blood flowed out instantly.
"Woof woof woof!" Little Yellow, who was playing in the jungle, saw this scene and rushed over.
He bit down hard on the snake's head, suffocating it before stopping!
Seeing that the man and the dog worked together quite well, Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao knew that their worries had been in vain.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiqing's skills were surprisingly fast.
"Little Yellow, take it away, we'll have an extra meal tonight~" Jiang Feiyan said with a smile.
"Woof!" The little guy immediately picked up the green snake and smugly glanced at the two big men.
That look seemed to say, "The two of you aren't as powerful as my master."
Jiang Xun and Shen Zhao: ......
They were... rejected by a dog?

Mini-theater:
Jiang Feiyan: My fighting skills are amazing, I don't need a man to protect me.
Adorable little yellow dog: Woof! You're right, master, you're the best!
Jiang, who was standing to the side, raised his hand: "I think I can try a little harder..."
