Chapter 92 - 92: Roast a Rabbit Head and Send It Over
Is this real?!
However, “the adjacent mountain?” Bai Li had a strange expression. “This Buddha Temple is built on top of a cliff. Even if you go back and forth at your speed, it will take at least an hour.”
He had already familiarized himself with the surrounding terrain in the past two days.
Xie Xingyun raised his eyelids and said calmly, “Jump down. There’s a rope.”
Could it be the abandoned ropeway that connected the two mountains?!
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Li and Xiao Zheng were stunned.
How could anyone walk on that thing?
“Are you crazy?”
Bai Li looked at the rabbit in astonishment. Xie Xingyun was clearly younger than him, but when he first saw him, his calm and reserved temperament was far beyond his age.
But to jump off a cliff for a rabbit, was this something a human could do?!
The main thing was that he was actually not injured. He did not even scratch his clothes!
Xie Xingyun did not refute but glanced at him. “She’s hungry.”
Was he hurrying him?
Bai Li pursed his lips and lifted its ears, preparing to leave.
But a voice behind him stopped him.
Xie Xingyun looked at the girl holding the wooden sword and gradually retracted his gaze. He said slowly, “Don’t tell her that I killed it.”
Bai Li fell silent for a moment before he made a few long leaps back to Bai Xianyu’s side.
There were a few tree stumps around the empty space. Some fruits and tea had been placed on one of the tree stumps.
Bai Xianyu was eating a pear on this tree stump. When she saw Bai Li return with a dead rabbit in his hand, she stood up and frowned slightly. “Why did you kill it?”
Bai Li stammered, “I saw that Miss seemed to want to eat it very much, so I ran outside and killed this rabbit. That’s no longer considered a forbidden Buddhist ground.”
Bai Xianyu wanted to speak, but Green Pearl’s voice came from afar. “Miss, the seasoning is here!”
She even carried some firewood and sulphur matches in her hands as she ran towards the two of them.
Bai Xianyu’s stomach began to rumble. She smiled and said, “Alright, let’s start a fire.”
Bai Li nodded and went to deal with the rabbit. He specially chose a far place to prevent the stench of blood from spreading.
A quarter of an hour later, a bonfire was lit. The dry branches were roasted red by the flames.
Bai Xianyu was holding a rabbit thigh in her hand. The roasted meat was fragrant, and golden oil was sizzling. It was very tempting.
When the roast was almost done, Bai Li looked at the remnant rabbit meat and then looked into the forest. After hesitating for a while, he said, “Miss, the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor and his guards are also here.”
Bai Xianyu had just taken a bite when her eyes widened. “Where?”
“Over there.” He pointed to a spot.
The girl followed his finger and looked over carefully. She really saw Xie Xingyun and Xiao Zheng.
Bai Li continued, “Miss, when you were listening to the preaching yesterday, Young Marquis was following behind you. 1 asked the guard called Xiao Zheng and he said that the two of them followed you because someone wanted to harm you.”
“Today, you came here to practice your swordsmanship, and the Young Marquis has also stayed here for the entire day. He probably hasn’t eaten yet. Why don’t we call them over to eat too?”
Bai Xianyu frowned and thought for two seconds before saying, “Then roast a rabbit head for Xiao Zheng.”
Bai Li was puzzled, “What about Young Marquis?”
“I didn’t ask him to follow me. Xiao Zheng is the unlucky one. If Xie Xingyun doesn’t eat, he can’t eat.” Bai Xianyu’s brows relaxed as she picked up the rabbit head to roast.
Bai Li felt that it made sense, but this rabbit was killed by Young Marquis.
But he also said that he could not tell Miss.
He could not figure out the situation between the two of them, so he opened his mouth and took a bite.
Soon, it was roasted. Bai Xianyu handed the rabbit head to Bai Li and smiled. “Give it to Xiao Zheng. Go quickly.”
Bai Li responded and went to look for them with the rabbit head.
Green Pearl leaned closer to Bai Xianyu. “Miss, are you really not interested in Young Marquis?”
She had seen many frivolous men around Miss, but this was the first time she had seen someone like the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor who kept chasing after her.
Bai Xianyu chewed and swallowed slowly, her red lips moistening. “Yes, I’m not interested.”
Green Pearl asked curiously, “Then what kind of man does Miss like? I think he’s good-looking enough.”
Bai Xianyu said without thinking, “The gentle kind. 1 don’t like those who are too domineering.”
After saying that, she added, “I don’t want an ice-cold face. 1 don’t like the aloof type either.”
Green Pearl felt that something was wrong.
On second thought, wasn’t this the opposite of the Young Marquis’s personality?
Bai Li found them.
Actually, Xie Xingyun and the other person were not standing far away. They only chose a place with dense leaves.
Xiao Zheng looked at Bai Li, who was running towards them, and had the urge to escape.
He heard everything Fifth Miss Bai said clearly.
Young Master must have heard it clearly.
Although this rabbit head’s aroma could be smelled from afar and it was obvious that it was delicious, it was a hot potato.
It would not be right for him to accept it.
It would also not be right for him to reject it.
While he was feeling uneasy, Bai Li had already arrived in front of the two of them. “Brother Xiao, this is for you from Miss.”
Xiao Zheng said tactfully, “I’m actually not very hungry.”
Bai Li was a little protective. “Miss saw that you were here today and was afraid that you would be hungry too, so she personally roasted it for you. This is her good intention.”
This time, Xiao Zheng did not move, but Xie Xingyun did.
He took it from Bai Li’s hand and looked at it with his eyes slightly closed before handing it to Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng’s fingers trembled. “Thank Fifth Miss Bai for her kind intentions. Thank you, Young Master.”
Only then was Bai Li satisfied. He glanced at Xie Xingyun and pondered for two seconds before saying, “Young Marquis, Miss is clearly not interested in you. You should leave. You haven’t eaten for the past few hours. Our General’s Manor will not be responsible if you starve yourself sick.”
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him gently and slowly. He did not say anything and just found a suitable position to lie down again.
After Bai Li left, in order to prevent the change of events, Xiao Zheng finished the rabbit head in a few bites. Then, he said cautiously, “Young Master, Fifth Miss Bai’s roast is delicious, but it’s too spicy. It doesn’t suit your taste. Didn’t you feel a little uncomfortable the last time you accidentally ate chili? It’s good that you didn’t eat it.”
Xie Xingyun glanced at him. “Shut up.”
Xiao Zheng,”…”
Bai Xianyu’s slender waist was not without reason. She was full after eating a little. Coupled with the pastries she had just eaten, she was no longer hungry.
Green Pearl and Bai Li were still eating. The former’s cheeks were puffed up like a little squirrel.
She stood up and took a few steps, wanting to digest her food. When she moved her arm, she suddenly realized that the skin between her thumb and forefinger had grazed.
It was fine when she did not realize it, but now that she did, it felt painful.
Bai Li was also very fast. After eating, he asked as he cleaned up the mess, “Miss, are we still practicing the sword?”
Bai Xianyu pressed the web between her thumb and forefinger. “Yes, I’ll practice.”
Xie Xingyun glanced at Bai Xianyu from afar and spat out a few words, “Are you full?”
Xiao Zheng wiped his mouth. “Yes, yes.”
“Go get me a rabbit..”
