By the stream, several people were fishing, and horses were eating grass nearby. They looked so leisurely and contented, more like they were out for a trip.
Xianxian has lost a lot of weight, and the acne scars on her face have also healed. Apart from her sturdy body, just looking at her face, she is indeed a soft and cute girl...
Holding a wooden bucket in his hand, he said cheerfully, "Sir, what are you going to eat tonight? Fish? I really want to eat boiled fish."
Jiang Sheng burst out laughing and waved. When the person came closer, he reached out and pinched her face, jokingly saying, "Greedy girl, but the young master likes it."
Xianxian snorted softly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Sir, you've become a bad person. You actually bully others."
"Haha, Xianxian's face looks really good after recovery. If she gets married in the future, Master will be reluctant to let her go."
After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, he felt the stick in his hand move, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, the fish has taken the bait."
With a strong swing, a grass carp weighing more than three pounds was jumping on the grass. It looked very lively, so I stood up and picked it up.
He said cheerfully, "Alright, this one is enough for today. Yang Er, Yang San, come and take care of it. I'll go light the fire and start cooking. We'll have a good meal later."
"Also make some more steamed buns. We won't have time to cook them once we get into the mountains. Go to the next town and buy some dried meat and pickles to take back to the mountains."
The assassin said respectfully with a wooden face, "Yes."
The fire lit up and the crackling sound of burning wood was heard.
Xianxian cleaned the spices quickly, sat on a rock, and watched intently, learning very seriously: "Master, why do we use eggs? It's to make the fish more tender."
Jiang Sheng nodded and praised with a smile: "Yes, Xianxian is still smart. She knows it at a glance."
"...Well, it's because the young master taught me well without being arrogant."
"Haha, if you want to open a shop in the future, specializing in selling food, if you want, I will open one for you when I return."
Xianxian was sitting opposite and shook her head when she heard this: "No, I want to stay with you, Master. When you get married in the future, if you have a child, someone will need to take care of it."
"I raised my younger brothers and sisters all by myself... but something happened later. I'm very good at raising children."
Jiang Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth, smiled and shook his head: "If we don't get married, there will be a lot of things to do in the future, so there is no time to think about these things. Besides, getting married will be very troublesome."
"I often have to go out and do things, so it's not going to work if I don't accompany you. It would be boring to argue with you."
Xianxian blinked her eyes, puzzled, "How can it be possible for the young master not to get married? The coming-of-age ceremony has already taken place, and the old lady won't agree if we don't get married."
"Hey, little girl can take charge now."
Put oil and seasonings in the pot, a sizzling sound is heard and a rich aroma wafts out, add the soaked fish fillets and cover the pot.
Jiang Sheng clapped his hands, walked to the river and looked at the others, the corners of his mouth twitching. He wondered if these assassins could do nothing but kill people.
"Ahem, Yang Er, the fish is on the hook, why don't you pull it out?"
Yang Er looked at him blankly, exclaimed, stood up and pulled the wooden stick. With a snap, the line broke and the fish ran away.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at each other.
Jiang Sheng sighed and said helplessly, "Yang Er, I'm fishing, not asking you to kill someone. You must be slow when pulling the fish up. If you use so much brute force, the line will naturally break."
"...Yes, I know I was wrong."
"It's okay, try again slowly."
Soon the boiled fish fillets were ready, and the aroma of rice wafted out. Jiang Sheng called out, "Come and eat, everyone. We'll dry the extra fish tonight and take it back to the mountains to eat."
Xianxian nodded and said sweetly, "Sir, it will take a long time to go into the mountains. Why do you need to bring so many things?"
"Well, it's slow to find a mine."
"A mine? I understand. I'm strong enough to carry you in."
Several people sat together, eating spicy boiled fish. It was so spicy that they were sweating and their faces were a little red.
"Mmm, it's delicious."
Yang Er's ears twitched slightly, and he looked towards the fire in the distance. He said in a deep voice, "Sir, there seem to be people over there too. Are they refugees or something else?"
Jiang Sheng glanced at them, then retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Let's go check after we finish eating. If they are refugees, ignore them. If they are bandits, just deal with them directly."
"Keep watch at night and be careful of bandits in the mountains."
"Well, please rest assured, sir."
In the middle of the night, a scream broke the silence. Several people opened their eyes and stood up to look over. Screams continued one after another.
Jiang Sheng frowned: "Yang Er, go over and see what's going on over there."
"yes."
Soon a figure flew over, and the voice was filled with urgency: "Third Young Master is in trouble. The wolves from the mountain have come down to besiege the refugees. Those people can't resist at all."
"What? The wolves are coming down the mountain."
Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and made a decision immediately. He said, carrying his longbow, "Everyone, follow me to rescue the people. We must kill the wolves and not let the refugees die on the road."
Yang Er hesitated a bit, "No, Third Young Master. You are of such a noble status, how can you go? If anything goes wrong, I will be speechless in front of the Princess."
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. I can protect myself, you just need to kill those wolves."
"Let's go, don't waste time. It's not easy for those refugees to come all the way here. I'm afraid they have run out of energy long ago."
Seeing that he insisted, Yang Er didn't know what to say. The Third Young Master seemed easy to talk to, but in fact he was very stubborn. No one could change his decision.
Just take better care of it later.
Several figures used light skills and quickly disappeared.
Xianxian left one person behind to chase after them, and she would go wherever her master was.

There were screams everywhere in the refugee camp. Faced with the ferocious pack of wild wolves, they were already too hungry to have any strength left, and they had no weapons in their hands, so how could they compete with the wolves?
The wild wolf was stimulated by the smell of blood and became extremely ferocious. It stared at the refugees running around with its green pupils and bit them to death and threw them aside.
The leading wolf pounced on the man, opened its bloody mouth, and was about to bite off the man's head when an arrow broke through the air and pierced directly through the wolf's neck, causing it to fall down quickly.
Zhou Dashan closed his eyes, prepared to die, but he didn't expect to feel warmth on his face, but didn't feel any pain.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a wolf lying on him. He was stunned and didn't understand what was happening. It was only when he saw the people who had rushed into the wolf pack that he came to his senses.
Use all your strength to push the dead wolf away.
Yang Er and others rushed into the wolf pack, killing each wolf with one sword. The wolves had no ability to resist at all. Xianxian, who arrived later, looked at the wolves rushing towards them and kicked them directly.
With a wolf howl, the wolf fell heavily to the ground.
The refugees were stunned by this scene. After it was over, a handsome young man slowly walked up to them and said with a gentle smile, "Are you okay? Here is some medicine for your injuries."
"Whoever is in charge, come and get the medicine. The smell of blood is too strong here. Leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will attract other wild animals."
