Ye Qianning felt that they were almost there and there was no need to rush, so he stopped when it was dark and let Luo Wendu set up camp.
A fire was lit in front of the tent next to them. A pheasant was caught in the mountains and its feathers were plucked but it was still alive.
“Ah… Such a tragic death… ugh…”
As soon as Ye Qianning's ears moved, he heard these words and turned to look at the fire next to him.
Two men dressed in servants' clothes were roasting two pheasants over a fire. Because it was too hot, their master sat far away from the fire.
There were two women. One looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and was wearing lake green clothes. She had an oval face, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and was quite pretty.
The other woman was about twenty years old. She was wearing a pomegranate red dress with narrow sleeves. She had a heroic look between her eyebrows and a sword at her waist.
Ye Qianning's gaze fell on the gem inlaid on her sword hilt, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
The woman opposite seemed to notice Ye Qianning's gaze, looked up, and when their eyes met, the woman nodded and smiled.
Ye Qianning also nodded slightly in polite response.
Xiang Minghou followed her gaze, glanced at her, and then looked away: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qianning retracted his gaze and said, "Their pheasants..."
"Rowen, catch a few."
"No, I mean they died miserably."
“…”
"puff."
Shui Xingqi rarely laughed out loud.
Ye Qianning looked at it indifferently.
Shui Xingqi stopped smiling and said, "Miss Ye, you have a really kind heart."
"You're not even telling me."
Ye Qianning picked up the firewood and threw it into the fire.
At this time, the fire in front of their tent was also lit, and a small pot was placed on the fire with boiling water in it.
The water boiled, and Luo Wen took out the oil paper from his bag. Wrapped in the oil paper was a simple instant noodle that Ye Qianning had made temporarily in the space a few days ago.
You can't just take things from the space in front of others. If you want to eat well, you can only make simple dishes.
After the water boiled, Luo Wen noodles were put into the pot and seasonings were added. Then the flame was extinguished and a night pearl replaced the light of the flame.
On midsummer nights, many people don't want to light a fire to increase the warmth, so they can only eat dry food.
The light of Ye Qianning's night pearl attracted a lot of people's attention.
They all looked at the dazzling night-shining pearl. You know, the night-shining pearl is a very precious thing. Generally, only royal relatives and nobles own it. Even if they get it, they will collect it like a treasure.
I've never seen anyone use it in public to illuminate something like they do.
The huge night-shining pearl illuminated the area within five or six meters around it. Many people saw the night-shining pearl for the first time and came closer.
As soon as the group of people approached, they smelled a fragrant aroma, which was so pleasant.
It's just a bunch of boring people gnawing on dry food.
"What a huge night-shining pearl! Who are they?"
"Could it be the royal family of some country?"
"Of course. If it weren't for the royal family, who would take out such a large night-shining pearl to use as a candle? Look, such a precious thing was just left on the ground, and no one cared at all."
"What delicious food are they making that smells so good?"
"Tsk tsk, they are really weird. It seems that the food and things they use are all things we have never seen before. And they seem to have a magic weapon to cool down."
"What magic weapon?"
"I don't know. Go ask."
“…”
Many people along the way heard that they seemed to be carrying something that made them feel cool when they were close to it.
