Chapter 143 A Specialty
Ye Qingyu understood, but didn't say much. He just nodded slightly and then silently followed Qingyi out of the cave.
Qing Yi was really hungry. When he got to the stream, he quickly processed the rabbit. In just a quarter of an hour, he had cleaned the rabbit. He carried the processed rabbit and hurried back to the cave.
Four people sat around a fire, the flames dancing happily, illuminating their faces. A small hare was roasting on the fire, the fat dripping into the flames, making a sizzling sound and emitting an enticing aroma.
Qingqing was the first to speak, vividly recounting how she had been captured by the Three Winter Monsters. Qingyi, not to be outdone, excitedly recounted how they had fallen into a trap, how they had dashed about in the Seven Star Formation, and how they had cleverly teased the Three Winter Monsters.
"Ouch, ouch, hahahaha! You are so mean, letting them eat sheep dung balls!" She laughed so hard that she fell backwards. Her stomach started to hurt. She covered her stomach with both hands and almost laughed to tears.
"I am smart, how can you say I am bad? You are really uneducated and can't even speak." Qing Yi crossed his arms and argued with a smug smile on his face.
"Oh, it seems like you've read more books than me!" Qingqing retorted unconvincedly.
"Well, then let's not talk about studying anymore." Qing Yi suggested with a smile upon seeing Qing Qing's expression, then looked at Ye Qing Yu, "Xiao Ye, did you know we'd encounter the Seven Star Formation on the road? I noticed you were constantly reading books on mechanical engineering back in the palace in the capital, so were you prepared?"
"It's just a coincidence." Ye Qingyu held the hare leg that Qing Yi had torn off for him, took a light bite, and savored it slowly.
"How does it taste?" Qing Yi stared at Ye Qingyu eagerly, his face full of anticipation for praise. He might not be sure about making other delicacies, but he was confident in his skill in roasting wild game and considered himself a master!
"Hmm, you brought salt?" Ye Qingyu asked curiously. Qingyi's roasted rabbit was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor was so delicious that he couldn't help but take another bite. Qingyi was fair, giving each of them a rabbit leg, but of course, the best part was definitely reserved for his little Ye.
"Hehe, that's right, such an important thing must be carried with you. How can you go out without some preparation?" Qing Yi said proudly, his face full of pride.
Ye Qingyu pondered to himself: This kid is really something. What on earth is he carrying? He didn't bring the antidote for his hidden weapon, nor did he bring any medicine to stop bleeding. But he did bring some salt, and that other thing? Oh, I'm really embarrassed to mention that thing. I wonder what Qingfeng would think?
Thinking of this, he looked up at Qingfeng who was also gnawing on the hare leg. Qingfeng remained silent.
Qingyi was eagerly waiting for praise, so why was Xiaoye looking at Qingfeng? So he said, "Qingfeng, how do you like it?"
Qingfeng didn't say a word for a long time. Although his injury had been treated simply, the pain was still there. However, he would not shout it out like Qingyi did. Seeing Qingyi ask him, he whispered, "It's delicious."
"Why are you asking him? He eats the same way no matter what he eats, and I can't tell what he likes. I didn't expect you to have such a unique skill. Let's catch a wild rabbit tomorrow and you can roast it!" He spoke softly and cheerfully, praising him generously and full of anticipation.
"Look at your mouth full of oil. Didn't you just say the little wild rabbit was cute?" Qing Yi laughed at Qing Qing's greedy mouth, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of ridicule.
"Um...that..." Qingqing almost choked, her face suddenly turned red to her ears, and she quickly patted her chest with her hands.
"This one is delicious too, give it to you!" Qing Yi smiled and handed Qingqing another piece of rabbit meat.
"Thank you, Hero Qingyi." He thanked him with a smile, took the rabbit meat, and started to eat it with relish.
The four of them devoured a roasted hare and then closed their eyes to rest. They couldn't leave the cave tonight; they needed to recover their strength and leave tomorrow.
The four of them tacitly agreed not to mention who had bribed the Three Winter Monsters to kill them. This matter still needed to be considered in the long term. The most important thing now was to recover their strength so that if they met them again, they would have a chance of winning.
"Master, you guys take a rest, I'll watch over the fire." Qingqing said very sensibly.
"Well, I'll be there in two hours." Ye Qingyu said. The cave here is a wild cave, usually a place for hunters to rest after hunting. It would not be surprising if a snake or something crawled in at night, so the fire could not be extinguished and someone had to keep watch.
"Master, let me..." Qingfeng was about to finish his words when Qingyi interrupted him, "Qingfeng, don't argue. I just need to circulate my internal energy. Two hours is enough. Xiaoye, you should go to sleep too. I'll take over when the time comes."
If Qingfeng was not seriously injured, he would definitely be the one on night duty. Now he urgently needs to recover his strength and should have a good rest.
"Yeah." Seeing Qing Yi say this, Ye Qingyu stopped arguing and responded.
In this way, Qingyi and Qingfeng each practiced breathing exercises and meditation, while Ye Qingyu closed his eyes to rest. From time to time, he would gently stir the fire, looking at this and that. Gradually, he felt sleepy, his head nodding, and he fell asleep with his body tilted.
Ye Qingyu just closed his eyes to rest. He seemed to sense something, opened his eyes and saw Qingqing sleeping beside him. He did not make a sound to wake her up, but silently fanned the fire, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Qing Yi finished regulating his breathing, he saw Ye Qingyu, staring blankly at the fire. The firelight reflected his handsome features, which were clearly defined. The more Qing Yi looked at him, the more handsome he found him. For a moment, he was stunned.
When Ye Qingyu came to his senses, he realized that someone was watching him. He looked at Qing Yi, who didn't look away, but stared at him intently, as if he could see through him.
In the end, Ye Qingyu avoided Qing Yi's naked gaze. He still remembered that last time after he practiced his internal strength, he was full of energy and almost wanted to tear him apart.
Seeing Ye Qingyu's evasive gaze, Qing Yi finally came back to his senses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered, "Go to sleep!"
Ye Qingyu didn't know whether she was afraid of seeing Qing Yi's naked eyes again or she was really sleepy, so she closed her eyes obediently.
The Taixuan Tiandun internal force in Qing Yi's body is very powerful. After running it, he feels light all over. This time, due to his injury, he did not forcibly attack his heart meridian, but focused on recovery.
Seeing that Ye Qingyu was sleeping uncomfortably against the wall, Qingyi reached out and gently moved Ye Qingyu's head to rest on his shoulder. His movements were gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping person.
Qingqing, perhaps still remembering her duty as fire watcher, suddenly woke in the middle of the night, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and discovered that Qingfeng had replaced her as the fire watcher. Qingyi and his master leaned against each other, eyes closed, resting. The scene was surprisingly heartwarming.
