If he couldn't answer, he wouldn't say anything; he would only answer a sentence or two because of his niece.
"By the way, little fox, what's your name?"
"Lu Qi".
"It's a very nice name. My name is Xiyi. We'll be friends from now on."
Lu Qi: ...
Why does it suddenly feel like it doesn't want to go with them anymore? Is it really possible to find its niece if it goes with them? It's starting to doubt it.
Now that we've been together, wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to suddenly leave?
The two people and the fox left together. Perhaps because the fox had joined them, Xiyi no longer looked as worried as before.
She was still worried because she hadn't found her brother, especially after seeing the corpses along the way.
"Once we get past this mountain, we can rest," Feng Qing said.
This decision was not made because I was too tired to walk, but because it was getting dark and walking at night was very dangerous.
Even with Lu Qi's addition, this situation cannot be avoided. If they encounter a pack of wolves, Lu Qi alone will not be able to keep up.
"good."
The group arrived at the back of the mountain and found a better spot. They prepared to start a fire. Feng Qing went out to find food, while Xi Yi and the fox gathered firewood.
This division of labor made things much simpler. However, Feng Qing had to go quite far when he went hunting, so he hadn't returned by the time they had started the fire.
Xi Yi and the fox sat by the fire waiting. Just then, a rabbit was grazing in the distance, and Lu Qi quickly ran over.
In just a second, like a rabbit caught red-handed, while the rabbit was still hopping around, Lu Qi knocked it unconscious with a single palm strike.
Then it picked it up and placed it next to Xiyi.
Xiyi:......
"I don't know how to handle rabbits."
Not only could she not, she was also too afraid. The thought of the bloody scene made her shake her head.
In the past, the food they ate was always prepared by Feng Qing outside and then brought back to be baked. Now, she was given a dish that hadn't been prepared yet, leaving her unsure of how to cook it.
Lu Qi pinched the rabbit clean, and then it gave Xi Yi a look that said, "Is this okay now?"
Xi Yi: "It should be fine, it should be okay."
Fortunately, the branches were prepared beforehand. The rabbit was placed on them and set up, and then the roasting began.
As the fire blazed, drops of fragrant oil dripped down.
Xi Yi realized that she was actually quite skilled at cooking, and it seemed she should try more of these techniques in the future.
"Flip it quickly, it's burnt, it's burnt."
He was gloating for only a few seconds before Lu Qi's voice pulled him back to reality.
Looking at the roasted rabbit that was so burnt it was almost unrecognizable, Xi Yi felt ashamed. She had ruined such a fine piece of meat; it was truly a waste of a precious gift!
"Can you still eat it like this?" Xi Yi asked Lu Qi, handing it to him.
Lu Qi: ...
How would it know? But it should be edible, right? As long as it's cooked, it's fine. It just doesn't smell very appetizing.
"I'll try it."
Lu Qi tore off a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, while Xi Yi watched expectantly.
It was vomited up in less than a second.
"It tastes awful, it tastes awful, it's bitter and fishy, is this poison?"
He immediately jumped five zhang away, staring intently at the rabbit meat, refusing to get any closer.
Xiyi:......
Is it really that scary? This reaction is way too strong! She stubbornly tried a little, and almost rolled her eyes. Eating this would cause food poisoning!
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared and only tasted a tiny bit. But holding this rabbit meat, I didn't know whether to throw it away or eat it; it was a bit of a dilemma.
"Throw it away, I'm not eating it!" Lu Qi shouted loudly from the other end.
Alright! That's exactly what she was planning to do too. It's just a bit wasteful to throw away the food. Why is Feng Qing coming back so late today? She should have been back much earlier.
Could it be that they encountered some danger while out? Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't be out so late.
"Lu Qi, I'll throw away the barbecue. Let's go out and look for him."
As Xi Yi walked, she said that she still planned to throw it further away, because throwing it here would attract wild animals.
"Okay, okay, okay, let's throw it far away first, I can still smell it now."
"Xiyi, it's so late, where are you going?"
It was Feng Qing's voice. Xi Yi turned around with the barbecue in her hand, and it really was Feng Qing who had returned, but he wasn't alone.
There was also Lin Zhi and her subordinates; compared to last time, there were significantly fewer people.
Feng Qing also saw the roasted meat in her hand when she turned around, and then walked over and took it.
"Sorry for the delay, something came up, but you're quite skilled at grilling meat like this."
Xiyi:......
She was even more ashamed to face anyone. Why did she have to come back just when she was about to throw away the meat? Couldn't she have waited until she had already thrown it away before coming back?
I feel my image has diminished even further.
"I didn't pay much attention, and that's how it turned out. It's no longer edible."
"Okay, you prepare the wood first, I'll throw it away and then I'll start roasting it." The doting tone made Xiyi feel a little awkward.
"Yes, I understand, I'll go right away."
The two chatted as if no one else was around. Lu Qi didn't seem to notice, but Lin Zhi, who was standing to the side, was already feeling a bit uncomfortable.
What was once a focus of attention has now become a mere background.
If the previous attempt failed, the next one won't be so lucky. This person is on the blacklist and is doomed.
He quickly suppressed his murderous intent and went over to help Feng Qing grill the food.
"I still remember how much you loved the grilled meat I made when we were little. I can't believe how fast time flies; we've both grown up so much now."
"Yes, I learned my grilling skills from you, but they're still far inferior to yours."
"Then wait until you bake it, I'll taste it, and then I'll give you some pointers."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
They kept talking, and Xiyi, who was adding fuel to the fire, couldn't get a word in edgewise. She didn't know anything about grilling meat, and not just this, there were so many other things she didn't know.
I'm really too stupid. I'm bad at learning anything, but I can eat anything.
Lu Qi didn't quite understand, but it really disliked the aura emanating from the woman who came later.
So it squatted a little further away from her, its eyes fixed on the roasted meat. It didn't want to be the first to taste it; what if it was poisonous again like before?
So let the woman eat first, and then eat yourself last.
Xi Yi was a little unhappy. Had she overreacted while eating the barbecue? Had it hurt her pride?
"It's okay, it's fine if I can't grill meat. I don't know how either, and neither does my niece."
Xi Yi never imagined that this tiny little thing already had a niece.
Lin Zhi looked at Lu Qi. A talking fox was a rare treasure. If she kept it as a pet, it would be a great help.
