Chapter 75
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jin raised his sword and struck the hilt with his inner-strength hand. The long sword flew towards the wolf and stabbed directly into the wolf's neck. The speed was so fast that he didn't give him a chance to howl.
It frightened Bai Jiujiu, who was sleeping soundly.
Three of the seven wolves were killed in the blink of an eye, and the other four continued to rush toward Xuanyuan Jin.
Xuanyuan Jin flew up again, landed at the entrance of the cave, pulled out the long sword from the wolf's neck at the entrance, and led the four wolves further away, so as not to wake up Bai Jiujiu with their cries, and also to avoid them rushing into the cave and scaring her.
.
After a fierce fight, all seven wolves died under Xuanyuan Jin's sword.
The heavy snow has stopped. He must dispose of the carcasses of these wolves and clean up the blood left on the snow. If she wakes up tomorrow and learns that seven wolves have come during the night, it will definitely leave a shadow on her sleep at night.
Everyone will be uneasy.
After taking care of all this, it was already late at night, and he hurried back to the cave. Fortunately, she was still asleep and didn't know what was happening outside.
It was already dawn when Bai Jiujiu woke up. He saw the man sleeping soundly leaning on the big rock without disturbing him. He quietly walked out of the cave to take a look at the situation outside and see if he could find something to eat for him.
Xuanyuan Jin was too tired last night and fell into a deep sleep in the second half of the night. After waking up, he immediately looked in Bai Jiujiu's direction. In the past two days, he had become accustomed to checking her condition first when he woke up. After all, here
Under the cliff, she, a girl, must not feel safe.
When he saw that there was no sign of her in the pit, he was so shocked that he stood up immediately.
Where did Bai Jiujiu go? Why wasn't he in the cave? He quickly strode outside.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, they met Bai Jiujiu who came back. At this time, she wrapped things in clothes and carried her back with a bright smile on her face.
When she saw Xuanyuan Jin coming out and was about to speak, the man scolded her coldly: "Where have you been? Why did you run out by yourself?" Thinking of the seven wolves last night, if she encountered one, she would die.
Seeing how fierce he was, Bai Jiujiu felt aggrieved. He opened the thing he was holding and showed it to him: "I went out to find something to eat. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't wake you up.
I'm not a three-year-old child. There is snow on the ground and walking will leave footprints, but I won't get lost.
It's you who are looking for something to eat, and I also want to find something to eat in return for you, and I don't want to be so useless."
In modern times, she is the one who takes care of her grandma and uncle. After being taken care of by him for the past two days, she feels a little useless, so she wants to do something.
It’s not that she doesn’t have a sense of safety. She carries a concealed weapon. If she encounters a ferocious beast, dumping the concealed weapon as soon as she sees you should be able to protect her.
After hearing her explanation and her aggrieved look, Xuanyuan Jin actually felt a little guilty for reprimanding her, and said in a gentle tone: "Since there are hares and pheasants at the bottom of the cliff, there are also big beasts. You don't know martial arts, you can do it alone
It's dangerous to go out. Don't act without authorization next time. If you are hungry, tell me and I will find you something to eat."
"I understand." Her aggrieved mood instantly improved after hearing his explanation, and she quickly shared her gains with him: "Your Majesty, I found something to eat. Do you know what it is?" She took a hand and handed it to him.
give him.
Xuanyuan Jin smiled: "I am not a playboy who is industrious and indifferent to grains. This is sweet potato. I have seen it before."
Bai Jiujiu sighed and said: "There is really nothing that can trouble the prince." But it did not affect sharing his happiness with him: "Does the prince know that my concubine likes to eat roasted sweet potatoes the most? Put the sweet potatoes into the fire to roast them, they are fragrant.
It's sweet and glutinous, and it's simply delicious. We hurried to bake it and eat it. I scooped a lot, enough for the two of us."
Walking into the cave excitedly.
Xuanyuan Jin looked at the sweet potato in his hand with complicated eyes.
Bai Jiujiu put the sweet potatoes into the fire to roast, waited patiently, and told Xuanyuan Jin the benefits of eating sweet potatoes.
The man listened quietly.
Bai Jiujiu thought about what happened last night and asked, "Your Majesty, is the wolf howl I heard last night real?" When he woke up in the morning and thought about it, he didn't know if it was real or an auditory hallucination.
"It should be, but it should be far away from us." The man didn't tell her about the wolf attack last night because he didn't want her to be scared.
"I didn't expect that there were really wolves here. Didn't I agree that I would sleep for a while and the prince would wake me up? Why didn't you wake me up?" I felt quite embarrassed thinking that I would wake up until dawn.
Xuanyuan Jin smiled faintly and said: "Then there was no sound of wolf howling. He must have left, so I didn't call you. Then I also fell asleep."
Bai Jiujiu nodded in understanding, and then said: "Your Majesty, my concubine is actually very courageous. If I have the power and ammunition in my hand, I will never be afraid. I will definitely go out and kill two wolves for you." In order to get it back.
Bai Jiujiu couldn't help bragging a little about his face last night.
Hearing her talk about the hand power, Xuanyuan Jin's curiosity was aroused: "The hand power the princess mentioned was the thing used against the dead soldiers that night?"
"That's right, this name comes from the concubine. Isn't it very domineering?" Although it has the same purpose as a modern pistol, it has some changes in appearance and internal devices, so it was given a new name.
"Where did the princess get this thing?" Xuanyuan Jin has been out on the road for so many years. This is the first time he has seen such a weapon. It should be said to be a hidden weapon.
"I asked Uncle Jiu to do it." Bai Jiujiu told him the story.
In fact, this was originally made by Xuanyuan Fengyi for customers who ordered concealed weapons. She wanted a powerful self-defense weapon, so she asked him to keep it for herself, and then asked him to make a new one for the customer.
"The princess can actually design weapons?" Xuanyuan Jin was surprised. There were so many things about her that he didn't know.
"Some, but this is different from the weapons you usually use. It contains gunpowder." Bai Jiujiu told him in detail.
After hearing this, Xuanyuan Jin felt incredible: "I didn't expect that gunpowder could have such a great effect."
"Not only that, gunpowder can also be used to make many powerful weapons. People in the future -" Bai Jiujiu was about to tell him about the future, but he quickly stopped when he thought that the person opposite him was an ancient person.
Xuanyuan Jin saw her stop and asked: "What happened to the people in the future?"
"People in the future will definitely use gunpowder to develop more powerful weapons." Bai Jiujiu found an excuse at random.
"The sweet potatoes are ready." Bai Jiujiu quickly changed the topic and took out the roasted sweet potatoes with a stick.
Let it dry for a while before it is too hot. He took it and peeled one open and handed it to Xuanyuan Jin: "My lord, try it. This sweet potato is very sweet at first glance."
Xuanyuan Jin hesitated and took it.
Bai Jiujiu looked at him and urged: "Try it! It's not too hot. This one shouldn't be too cold. It tastes better when it's hot."
Xuanyuan Jin took it and tasted it.
"How is it?" Bai Jiujiu looked at him with bright eyes and asked.
"Yes, as the princess said, it's very sweet." Xuanyuan Jin commented truthfully.
Bai Jiujiu laughed after hearing this: "It's fine if the prince likes it. There are several more here! Eat a few more." He handed him two more.
Xuanyuan Jin took it.
Bai Jiujiu peeled one open and ate it himself, nodding and praising: "It's really delicious, sweet and glutinous, just what I imagined." Unexpectedly, the taste of this sweet potato has not changed much from ancient times to the present.
