Chapter 240 Mr. Snowball
Cui Qingyi suddenly realized that her hand was still held by someone. She exerted force and struggled for a few times before freeing her hand.
Feeling the delicate touch in his palm being withdrawn, Jing Wei glared at Amu with some dissatisfaction, "You are so sharp-eyed!"
Amu, realizing that he had accidentally ruined his boss's plan, scratched his head and followed Cui Qingyi in disappointment.
"Village Master, please sit here."
Amu diligently laid the cushions on the ground so that Cui Qingyi could sit more comfortably.
It has been a long time since I walked such a long mountain road. Even though Cui Qingyi is in good physical condition, she feels a little overwhelmed at the moment.
Seeing the fatigue between her eyebrows, Jing Wei also sat down and said: "Don't worry, Wangcai is very smart and will definitely take good care of himself."
Jing Wei said this not only to comfort Cui Qingyi, but he also really felt that with Wangcai's intelligence, he would not lose his life easily. He was the most cunning dog he had ever seen in all these years.
Cui Qingyi had the habit of taking naps, and at this moment, she half-closed her eyes and felt a little sleepy: "I hope so. If I had no other choice, I wouldn't have let it go into the mountains."
Jing Wei had already briefly learned about their time at the Yao Mansion from Taozhi and Madam Cui. He had been terrified when he first heard about it, and now he was even more annoyed when Cui Qingyi mentioned it again: "I should have come with you."
Jing Wei originally wanted to deeply analyze and confess his failure to accompany Cui Qingyi to Qinghe City, but unexpectedly, Cui Qingyi laughed the moment he opened his mouth. She opened her eyes wide and tried to regain her composure. "You've helped me a lot. If it weren't for the hairpin you sent me, I wouldn't have been able to capture Yao Lin so easily."
If Yao Lin couldn't be caught, Chen Pingting might really instigate him to be shot.
The hairpin Cui Qingyi mentioned is a woman's self-defense weapon. The hairpin is hollow, and a silver wire is coiled inside with a special technique. The silver wire made with special craftsmanship is very tough, and it can be easily turned into a killing weapon by whoever wants it.
Among the gifts sent by Jing Wei, only this hairpin and Guru were the ones that Cui Qingyi liked the most. She didn't expect that she would actually use them on this trip.
Speaking of Guru, I haven't seen him for a long time and I don't know if he has grown up at all.
Seeing how sleepy Cui Qingyi was, Jing Wei naturally moved closer to her and said, "Take a nap. Once you've rested well, we'll go into the mountains."
Jing Wei never tried to dissuade Cui Qingyi from going into the mountains to look for Wangcai. Firstly, he knew very well how important Wangcai was to Cui Qingyi. Secondly, most northern merchant caravans kept packs of dogs when they traveled around for business. These companions were as important as their camels, and if one or two of them were accidentally lost along the way, they would still go and look for them.
Another reason is that although the North is not as mountainous as Qinghe City, there are many ferocious predators on the vast grasslands. Jing Wei has fought against wolves, brown bears, and even rare predators like snow leopards and is not afraid of them at all.
It must be said that Jing Wei's arrival gave Cui Qingyi great confidence. She relaxed a little and soon fell asleep leaning on the strong shoulder next to her.
When Amu came over with the hot water, he saw his master and his future mistress leaning against each other. He smiled slyly and walked away with the water.
Water is always drinkable, but the village chief rarely has the opportunity to approach his master.
Cui Qingyi felt like she had slept for a long time, but in fact it was less than two quarters of an hour. When she woke up, she was lying on the ground, with a piece of silk cloth under her and a black cloak covering her body. She knew whose it belonged to without having to think.
She sat up and saw Jing Wei talking to Amu and others not far away.
Just as she was about to stand up, she was met with a pair of small round eyes. A falcon twice as big as Gollum was staring at her with its head tilted.
That look almost scared Cui Qingyi.
But fortunately, she knew that Jing Wei had an eagle by his side. Then Cui Qingyi once again witnessed the real situation of an animal becoming a spirit.
The eagle tilted its head and looked in the direction of Jing Wei. Seeing that the other party didn't notice here, it flapped its wings twice and landed at Cui Qingyi's feet. Then it stepped on Cui Qingyi's legs with its two claws like a chicken, and then stretched out one claw like a human to grab the purse around Cui Qingyi's waist.
The purse contained the dried meat that Cui Qingyi had prepared for Wangcai. She had originally intended to find some and feed Wangcai first, but she didn't expect that the eagle would take notice of it first.
Cui Qingyi was a little afraid of such a big bird, but this guy looked very docile. She tried to raise her hand slightly to untie her purse, took out a piece of dried meat from it and handed it to the big guy.
"Coo, coo, coo..." Cui Qingyi knew for the first time that a ferocious bird like an eagle could also make a cooing sound like a pigeon. It was a bit cute.
Especially when he saw her handing the dried meat to him, this guy actually glanced towards Jing Wei again, turned his back to Jing Wei, then stretched out his claws to take the dried meat, lowered his head and started tearing it apart with his powerful beak.
They are almost as smart as Wangcai.
Cui Qingyi looked very cute, but she did not reach out to touch the big guy rashly. It would not be a big deal if either of its claws or beak hit her.
After Jing Wei and Amu finished talking, they turned around and saw that Cui Qingyi had already sat up with a big thing standing on her legs.
Jing Wei...what's going on with my teeth itching all of a sudden?
A shadow fell over her head, and Cui Qingyi felt the claws on her legs tighten instantly. "Ugh, I've been caught."
Jing Wei was looking down at him, with two pairs of big, bright black eyes looking up at him. How to describe that moment?
It was like someone stuffed a soft little ball into his hand. He was at a loss as to what to do. Before he could figure out what was going on, his heart softened like a ball of cotton.
Cui Qingyi was the first to admit her mistake: "It's our first meeting, and this is my gift to it. By the way, what's its name?"
"Snowball... I found it in a heavy snowfall. It must have been squeezed out of its nest by other eagles. If I hadn't passed by, it would have frozen to death in the snow."
Snowball... I didn't expect such a fierce guy to have such a cute name, as cute as her Gollum.
As if sensing that its owner had forgiven its negligence, Snowball spread its wings and gently touched Cui Qingyi's hand, reminding her that the dried meat was gone.
If not now, when would she touch him? Cui Qingyi reached out without hesitation and rubbed Lord Snowball from head to paw.
Before Snowball could react, a piece of jerky with a strong aroma was immediately handed to him. Snowball... okay.
Seeing that Cui Qingyi really liked it, Jing Wei simply squatted down and told her some embarrassing stories about Snowball. On normal days, Snowball would definitely not be willing to do so, but at this moment, all its attention was on the fragrant dried meat, and it didn't pay any attention to what the annoying guy said.
After Snowball finished eating another piece of jerky, Jing Wei stopped Cui Qingyi from feeding him any more. "Don't feed him too much. He'll need your help to find Wangcai next time."
