Chapter 49 Want to Become Brothers
"What, what happened?"
Li Chengxiu looked at Wan Jie'er who was rushing towards him with a confused look on his face. Although he didn't know what the other party was going to do, he still obediently grabbed the chicken feet and lifted it up.
That was a close call!
After Jiang Wan rushed over, he snatched the little pheasant that was almost dead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I have enough food to fill my stomach.
"Wanjie, what are you doing? This chicken isn't cooked through yet, so you can't eat it raw. Wait for me..."
"Get out of my way!"
Jiang Wan waved away the reincarnation expert in annoyance, picked up the pheasant that finally closed its eyes and died in peace, quickly rushed back to the stream, squatted down, rolled up his sleeves, and plucked its feathers.
Hunger can automatically open up the Ren and Du meridians, and it can also make people change from being picky to being willing to make do. But even if she was willing to make do, she believed she couldn't possibly eat a roast chicken that was still wearing a decent down jacket after dying!
She was indeed a little hungry, and she had just detected a hint of meaty aroma from the scorched chicken feathers. She was really hungry!
While complaining about himself in his heart, he was desperately plucking the chicken feathers which were still a little hot.
Li Chengxiu, who had followed all the way, rubbed his hands guiltily when he saw Wan Jie'er busying around.
“…I was wrong, I’m sorry!
I thought the chicken feathers would burn directly in the fire, but it turns out they need to be plucked beforehand? I'll find out later.
Sister Wan, let me do it..."
"Just sit there quietly!"
Jiang Wan took the time to look back at him. The boy clearly looked guilty, so she could only talk again.
"I know you didn't mean it. There's no need to feel embarrassed. Everyone is good at different things. Look, you can catch a pheasant, but I can't, right?
You're a young master raised in the Huai Palace, so it's not surprising that you don't know this. If you want to avoid making a fool of yourself in the future, you can take some time to ask your cook.
Of course, I'm not referring to the one who ate mushrooms and died."
The unique comfort quickly dispelled the dull-witted man's depression. Li Laosi's small white teeth made him look like the landlord's silly son.
He chuckled and leaned forward, then sat down carefree. Watching Wan Jie busy herself, he offered some sincere advice.
"How about we finish our meal and then slowly stroll back? I suddenly remembered the saying 'an old horse knows the way home'. We may not know the way home, but maybe your Ruhua does?"
This suggestion was very meaningful. Jiang Wan looked at Ruhua who was resting in the distance and nodded immediately.
"You're right! Ruhua is much smarter than the average horse. We didn't run for a particularly long time back then, so maybe it really could have recognized it!"
The more he talked about it, the more feasible it seemed. Jiang Wan sped up his hands, plucking the chicken feathers roughly, and then using his claws to perform a live performance of tearing a chicken apart with his hands.
Her mood improved a little, and she also had a little desire to gossip. While cleaning the pheasant's internal organs in the stream, she complained about Li Laosi.
"At which house do you eat chicken without plucking the feathers or removing the belly? If you really asked me to roast it, I can't even imagine what it would taste like!
Speaking of roasting, I remembered, how did you light the fire? When I asked you just now, didn’t you say you didn’t bring any tinder?
Li Chengxiu was completely confused by her chatter.
"When did I say I didn't bring the lighter? It was always in my pocket."
"You brought it, but you didn't tell me?"
Jiang Wan glared at him angrily.
"Just now I said I didn't bring any daily necessities, and asked if you did. Didn't you say they were all prepared by the servants and you didn't need them?"
"Yeah! I don't know what the daily necessities you mentioned are. I really didn't bring them with me! Otherwise, next time I go out, I'll ask the housekeeper and I'll bring them for you, right?"
"……well."
Jiang Wan sighed silently.
"Forget it, it's all because I didn't explain it clearly. It has nothing to do with you."
Li Chengxiu immediately grinned with delight, and began to flatter her regardless of whether he understood or not. He didn't understand many of the words Wan Jieer was saying anyway.
"Thank you for your tolerance. I knew you were the most loyal brother! Sister Wan, why don't we officially become sworn brothers?
From now on, I will be your half-brother, and you will be my half-sister! If anyone dares to cause trouble for you again, just tell me my name, and I will definitely support you. How is it?"
"Not very good."
It is obvious that the Li family will have to put on a big show in the future. How could one be so desperate to rush in and just follow them?
"I'm used to being a big sister, and I don't like being someone else's little sister."
"Is that so?"
Li Chengxiu frowned in grievance, thought about it for 0.01 seconds, and then nodded in resignation.
"Sister~"
A gentle, soft voice brought out the goose bumps that had been lurking in his genes. Jiang Wan paused in his plucking of the chicken feathers, looked down at his arm, then at the goosebumps under his hand, and suddenly felt unclean!
"Go crawl over there and play!"
"Look at you, you're angry again."
Li Chengxiu, who felt that he had been very accommodating to the other party, looked unhappy.
"You said you don't like being siblings, so let's just be siblings. Haven't I accommodated you enough? I've volunteered to suffer the loss, so why are you still not satisfied?"
"How can I be satisfied? I don't want to be a brother or sister with you, nor do I want to be a brother or sister with you, do you understand?"
"Then let's be sisters!"
Li Chengxiu really went all out this time, and he was determined to have a serious relationship with his sister. This persistence came from his father's teachings.
I've heard his father say this many times. The reason he became sworn brothers with Jiang Wan's father was because the other party had rescued him from the dead many times.
People like this who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you in desperate situations are the most worthy people to associate with!
Although Wan Jie'er is a girl, it does not at all hinder his sincere desire to become sworn brothers with her.
Li Chengxiu felt that he would never forget the touching feeling in his heart when Jiang Wan was willing to rush back on horseback.
"I will never forget your kindness in risking your life to save me!
Don't worry, Wanjie'er. In the future, when I have a brother, no, a sister, I will definitely share half of the food I eat with you.
I mean what I say! "
I was moved by the sincerity of this guy, and the poor kid blinked his eyes tiredly. Suddenly I felt that wilderness survival seemed to be exhausted, otherwise it would be destroyed?
"Just shut up, seriously!
I don't want to be sworn brothers with you, or even brothers or sisters!
You are you and I am me, do you understand?"
Yeah, I heard it clearly.
After being silent for several breaths, Li Chengxiu nodded silently.
He was a little reluctant to talk.
