The rabbit was marinated with seasonings and then roasted over a fire.
The meat was tender inside and crispy outside, sizzling with oil, and its aroma filled the entire valley.
As for the two pheasants, Liu Yingying only used one to make spicy diced chicken.
The other one was preserved by salting and will be eaten tomorrow or the day after…
The three sat around the campfire, thoroughly enjoying their dinner.
Good food always gives people strength, and it even helped to dispel a lot of the fatigue from days of traveling...
Xiaoxue was gnawing on a chicken leg, but she didn't forget to flatter Liu Yingying.
"Sister Liu is truly omnipotent! She's so good at making money, and her cooking is absolutely delicious!"
"To put it bluntly, the food cooked by the head chef of the family I used to serve wasn't as good as yours!"
Xue Ye rolled his eyes at her; "Don't praise her, she'll get arrogant!"
Liu Yingying glared angrily at Xue Ye; "Xiaoxue's eyes are sharp, she can tell good from bad, unlike some people who clearly eat more heartily than anyone else, but are just stubborn!"
"Pfft!" Xiaoxue almost spat out the chicken leg meat in her mouth while trying to suppress her laughter.
In her view, although Liu Yingying and Xue Ye were from different generations, their daily interactions were actually just like those of ordinary siblings, and they would bicker and argue...
In fact, the two of them are only seven years apart in age.
"Something seems off about the taste of this soup today?"
Liu Yingying scooped up a bowl of wild vegetable soup, but just as she brought it to her lips, she smelled it and put it back down.
Xiaoxue lowered her head, picked up the soup bowl, took a sip, and muttered softly, "I think it's fine. Is it because I put some bay leaves in it?"
Liu Yingying looked at Xiaoxue, then at Xue Ye; "Try it and see if the taste is wrong?"
Xue Ye obediently took a sip of the soup and said expressionlessly, "It's not very tasty!"
Xiaoxue: "Could it be the ingredients? After all, we've never eaten this kind of wild vegetable before."
"I think you have a point, but we shouldn't be too picky here in the middle of nowhere..."
Liu Yingying picked up the soup bowl again; having soup was better than having none.
After dinner, I washed all the pots and pans and put them away. It was completely dark by then.
Xue Ye went and picked up some more thick wooden sticks to add to the fire, and the three of them set up two simple tents by the fire.
Xue Ye sleeps alone, while Liu Yingying and Xiao Xue sleep together.
The valley was filled with the howling of the cold wind at night, and the occasional cries of unknown animals could be heard from afar.
In the middle of the night, Liu Yingying suddenly felt something was wrong with her body!
They could hear footsteps approaching them, but they couldn't muster any strength.
The first thought that popped into her mind was that she had been drugged!
"Little...Little Snow..."
Liu Yingying managed to utter a sound from her throat, only to be surprised to find that Xiaoxue was not beside her!
If someone drugged her and rendered her immobile, then why did they only take Xiaoxue away?
In an instant, countless possibilities flashed through Liu Yingying's mind.
There was only one thing she least wanted to believe!
"Xiao...Xiao Ye, are you still there?"
She had to strain her whole body to barely raise her voice a little.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of a sharp object cutting through something.
Then came Xue Ye's slightly hoarse voice.
"I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Liu Yingying rolled her eyes, wanting to retort, "When have I ever been afraid?"
But I simply didn't have the strength to say it...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, accompanied by the grating sound of a knife tip scraping against the stones on the beach.
Liu Yingying was getting anxious; she absolutely couldn't just sit and wait to die!
So, with a heavy heart, she bit her tongue hard, and the excruciating pain immediately brought tears to her eyes.
Xue Ye also cut his hand with a knife and let the blood flow for a while before gradually regaining some strength.
He rushed to Liu Yingying's side immediately, and with his help, Liu Yingying left the tent.
At this moment, they were surrounded by a group of men in black!
"Heh heh, you can't escape, just surrender!"
There were more than ten of them, led by a tall, thin man who was looking down at the two of them with disdain.
Xue Ye drew his sword and shielded Liu Yingying behind him, coldly asking, "Are you from the Yiyue tribe?"
The other party did not acquiesce, but spoke in a very arrogant tone, "Young Master Ye, you should not have been born into this world twenty years ago. Now let me send you back to where you belong!"
Xue Yeye's expression was deep and thoughtful. As if she had thought of something, she suddenly spoke: "All you want is my life. My grudges with the Yiyue Clan have nothing to do with her. As long as you let her go, I can surrender without resistance!"
"Xiaoye, don't be silly. Can't you see it? They don't seem to be planning to spare anyone!"
Liu Yingying gripped his clothes tightly. She didn't want this fool to give up his life for her; it would be pointless!
The man in the lead suddenly burst into laughter.
"You're quite the character, woman!"
"No wonder that person specifically asked for your life, otherwise I really wouldn't have been willing to kill such a beautiful woman who still retains her charm!"
"Who is trying to kill me?" Liu Yingying asked immediately, and when she saw that the person did not intend to answer her, she added another question;
"Since I can't escape anyway, why not do a good deed and let me die knowing why?"
The man seemed hesitant upon hearing this, but after glancing at the grove behind them, he ultimately didn't tell Liu Yingying who the man was.
Liu Yingying then asked, "Was Xiaoxue, the girl who was with me, taken away by you?"
"A dying person is too busy worrying about themselves to care about others," the man said impatiently, clearly not intending to argue with her anymore.
A group of people charged forward with knives in hand.
Because both Xue Ye and Liu Yingying were poisoned, they could only barely cope.
But it was clearly very difficult to cope with.
Liu Yingying felt that continuing this protracted fight was definitely not a solution. The enemy had more people and the advantage, and even a war of attrition could wear them down.
Right now, we have no choice but to act quickly and get out of here first!
"Xiao Ye, take this!" Liu Yingying tossed a Browning revolver to Xue Ye.
She pulled out a gun herself, just as a man in black swung a knife at her chest.
"Bang bang bang!"
Liu Yingying fired three shots in quick succession, and three of the men in black in front of her fell down one after another.
After blowing air into the muzzle of the gun, she glanced at Xue Ye; "See? This is how you use this thing!"
Xue Ye glanced at the gun in his hand again; he knew that this thing did not belong to this time and space.
It looks like it works really well…
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced the leader's forehead.
The ringleader never imagined he would meet his maker in this way…
