The morning sun parted the mist, and the soft sunlight spread into the mountains and forests, bringing warmth and brightness.
The fire in the wooden house had gone out, the clay pot was empty, and the inside of the pot was shiny and glistening, and it was impossible to tell that porridge had ever been cooked there.
Lai Siyu crawled over to the bed and fell asleep. Without spiritual energy to support her, her body was like any mortal, easily fatigued and drowsy. Sunlight shone through the window sill onto her face, making her peaceful sleeping face appear even more beautiful in the sunlight.
The man lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes, the sunlight also shone on his face, his brows furrowed, and he looked around with empty eyes.
This is a very simple wooden house, which looks like a temporary residence for hunters in the deep mountains.
He barely supported himself with his hands and sat up. He glanced at the narrow folk clothes on his body, then looked coldly at the woman sleeping on the bed. Murderous intent suddenly arose in the man's heart. He subconsciously touched his waist, then shook his head and smiled bitterly. His clothes had been changed, but the dagger was still there.
"Did you find one?" A cold light flashed, and a sharp dagger appeared in front of his eyes.
"You are such an ungrateful person. I shouldn't have saved you. I spent so much effort to rescue you, but you actually want to kill me!" Lai Siyu pointed a dagger at his face and said coldly.
It turns out that people cannot be saved easily. Good people die quickly!
If it weren't for her keen senses, she would have been a dead body by now.
Although this house is simple, it contains many things that can be used as weapons to kill people.
"Who are you?" The man looked at Lai Siyu coldly. Although his words were weak, they faintly revealed an inviolable aura. However, his tone was too cold, as if it came from the underworld.
"Hey, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Lai Siyu pointed at his nose with her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Not only did I save you, I also helped you take a bath. Last night when you had a fever, I even sprayed your body all night long. I took great pains to get you and hide you deep in the mountains. Not only are you ungrateful, you even want to kill me. You don't even have the courtesy to ask me a question! I say, have you got your positions mixed up?
Are you sick? If you are, take medicine immediately and don’t delay treatment!
"Girl, why are you wasting your time talking to him? Just kill him! You don't really like him and can't bear to let him go, do you?" The red squirrel was woken up by the noise. It jumped to Lai Siyu's shoulder, waving its claws and grinning.
"Shut up. Who likes him? Don't talk nonsense!" Lai Siyu hit the red squirrel hard on the head. The red squirrel shrank its neck, hugged its head with its paws, and said nothing.
When the man saw the girl in front of him talking to a squirrel that was chirping, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Could this girl really be a mountain girl?
But she was clearly in Xiao Hanshan's hands. Not only was she in his hands, but she was also surrounded by thousands of troops. How could a girl like Chunye save herself from the encirclement?
Is this another trap?
Could it be that he is still useful to Xiao Hanshan?
"Hahaha~" the man laughed miserably.
Lai Siyu and Red Squirrel looked at each other and said in unison, "Is he crazy?"
The man and the squirrel took a few steps back and looked at the man warily.
At the same time, I felt a little annoyed. I spent so much effort to save a madman, how could I recover the cost?
The man had laughed enough, and what little strength he had was gone. He leaned softly against the wall, looked at Lai Siyu mockingly and said, "Am I crazy? Do you think that if you say a few boring words to a beast, I will believe you are from this mountain? Go back and tell your master Xiao Hanshan that I will not be fooled again. If you want to kill or chop him up, let him do it openly!"
Talking to an animal? Damn it! I was so angry that I forgot that red squirrels can speak human language!
But he didn't look surprised at all. Could it be that the animals here can speak human language?
Being called a beast, the red squirrel flew into a rage! It raised its paw and pointed at the man, cursing, "You're the beast, your whole family is a beast..."
Lai Siyu covered the red squirrel's mouth and blurted out, "Can the animals here speak human language?"
"Haha~ You still say I'm a lunatic, not a goblin or a mountain monster. How can a beast speak human language?" The man sneered. Pretend, keep pretending. Does Xiao Hanshan have no one under his command? He actually sent a girl with such clumsy tactics to fool him.
This girl is very beautiful. Does Xiao Hanshan still think that he will fall for a woman again?
Is Xiao Hanshan looking at him or insulting him?
The man was lost in thought, and Lai Siyu also fell into deep thought.
Judging from his reaction, he probably didn't understand what the red squirrel said, and the red squirrel's previous curse of calling him a beast didn't work at all.
The curse of a mortal being cast by a third-level monster is ineffective!
And the fact that she couldn't mobilize her spiritual power or use her spiritual sense... There was something weird about this place.
But why could she understand the red squirrel's words? There was no contract between them. Could it be that because she had incubated it for five years, they had established some kind of inexplicable connection?
What a headache! Lai Siyu scratched her head.
"So you can't understand what it's saying?" Lai Siyu said again.
The man no longer wanted to pay attention to her. There was no trace of blood on his pale face. He simply closed his eyes and lay down, no longer paying attention to her nonsense.
"Who is Xiao Hanshan? The one who kidnapped you? It's strange, I don't know him, why did he kidnap me too?" Lai Siyu continued to ask.
The man's eyelids moved, but he still didn't say anything. "Go ahead and pretend, go ahead and act. I want you to know that everything you do is in vain."
"Gurgle~Gurgle..." The man's stomach made a series of noises. Lai Siyu understood immediately that this guy was too hungry to speak. Being hungry is easy to deal with. She quickly picked up the clay pot, picked a few mushrooms from the string of wild mushrooms hanging on the wall, and grabbed a few handfuls of rice from the rice bag under the bed and threw them into the clay pot.
He went out and washed the rice in the stream, filled it with water, placed the clay pot on the fire, got some firewood from outside the house and put it on the fire, scraped away the ashes in the fire, knelt down, stuck out his butt and blew at the sparks... His movements were smooth and fluid, not awkward at all.
The man who was secretly observing was a little dazed. Is this woman really unrelated to Xiao Hanshan?
Or was it specially trained by Xiao Hanshan and the prince?
Although there was no flaw in her movements, her hands, as tender as green onions, did not look like those of someone who was used to doing rough work.
Looking at her small body, there was no way she could rescue herself from the mountains.
Humph! Do you really think I'm a fool?
Are you keeping me alive just to entertain me?
Are you really not afraid of my counterattack?
Or, do you still want to play tricks on me?
Or maybe my father has finally come to his senses and it is not convenient for you to touch me now?
what is going on?
The man was having a headache from thinking so much, but the smell of food wafted through the cabin.
