Xian Ziqian was startled at first, and then couldn't help but smile and said: "Mom is really good at joking. He is the prince, but he got lost here. He happened to be met by Brother A Niu and me, so we took them out of the forest.
, they just want to express their gratitude. They are rich people who don’t mind spending some money, but they don’t want to owe us a favor. Mom, don’t think too much, I still have to cook, and Brother Aniu kept saying he was hungry on the way."
The old woman didn't care whether to cook or not, she pouted and looked thoughtful.
"Mom, mother!" A Niu's voice suddenly sounded and he shouted. Seeing that his mother didn't respond, he shouted louder, "Mom, why are you in such a daze? Really, I called you several times.
You didn’t even respond. Prince Xuan said that they would rest here for one night and leave early tomorrow morning. Do you think you and Jianyatou should spend the night outside with your son while Prince Xuan and his subordinates are inside?
Have a rest, my son, this place is a little messy, although it is shabby inside, but I have kept it clean."
"Why should we, my mother-in-law, give way to them?" The old woman was a little unhappy.
"Mom, he is the prince." A Niu said helplessly, "Prince Xuan just thinks that Xianyatou and I brought their master and servant out of the forest, so he doesn't want to argue with you. Don't go too far.
He is the prince, and he can live or die as he pleases. Back home, a rich man in the village could drive both of us out of the village at will, but he is the prince!"
Xian Ziqian smiled. Brother Aniu grew up in a very small village and didn't know many people. It was rare to meet a prince. Moreover, this prince had a not bad personality and temper. He was always annoyed without saying anything.
If you say kill, you will kill, so Brother Aniu is willing to obey this prince from the bottom of his heart.
The old woman sighed and said unhappily: "Okay, you silly boy!"
Xian Ziqian went to get rice from the rice vat. There was not much rice, and she could even touch the bottom of the vat easily. She sighed softly. Xuan Yi's suggestion was really a good choice for them. Although it was quiet on this mountain,
There is no right and wrong, but there is little land and no food can be grown. The rice was obtained by Brother Aniu a few days ago after he killed a tiger, skinned it, and walked a long way down the mountain.
"Girl, are you running out of rice?" Aniu came closer, took a look at the rice vat, and couldn't help but sigh, "Mom is just too stubborn. If this continues, we will starve again this winter."
"Mom is older, has experienced a lot, and thinks more. Xuan Yi's suggestion is good, but she can't accept it at the moment. Don't be anxious. Let's discuss it with you slowly." Xian Ziyan said softly, "
The money I exchanged for the jewelry I brought when I was rescued is almost gone, so I can only think about buying some thick clothes for my mother this winter."
There was a strong wind on the mountain. This hut was originally simple and crude. It was built entirely of wood, and then it was paved layer by layer with straw mats made of withered grass. When the wind blew, air leaked everywhere. Jin guards accompanied Xuan Yi and sat down
Not far from the stove, watching the jumping flames, I really felt displeased with the old woman.
"How can people live in a place like this?" Guard Jin murmured softly, "A house made of wood, with straw mats as walls, and there is air leakage everywhere. Wouldn't it freeze to death in the winter?"
Xian Ziqian smiled and said gently: "Fortunately, Brother Aniu is good at craftsmanship. This house is very solid. If there is anything wrong, you can always--"
At this time, the wind suddenly became stronger, blowing a little fiercely. It was so strong that it made people feel that the house could be blown away by the wind. Xian Zijian subconsciously closed his mouth. This wind came at the wrong time. He was thinking
How to explain it, I heard a few pieces of wood suddenly cracking.
"Oops!" Guard Jin immediately shouted, "The wind is too strong, will the house collapse?"
A Niu took a look and saw that there were indeed some cracks in the wood. The wind outside was too strong, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to hold on for long. "Mom, this house may not be able to survive tonight. We need to go outside to take shelter! Yuyatou,
Help your mother out quickly, Prince Xuan, Guard Jin, you should also go out, I will go out after putting out the fire, otherwise, something will happen if the nearby trees are burned."
Xian Zijian was a little strange. This house had been here for some time, and there had been several near-accidents in the process, but it had never been like tonight when several branches suddenly broke. The wind was indeed strong, but it shouldn't be so strong.
?Although I was confused in my heart, I didn't have time to think about it. I hurriedly helped my mother who had already gone to bed and lay down and walked outside.
"Your Majesty, please go out first. My subordinates helped A Niu bring the rice out." The rice in the pot on the stove was not completely cooked yet, but it was already slightly fragrant. Although it was just a simple porridge, it was in Xian Ziqian's hands.
It still has an attractive taste when made.
"Thank you so much." Aniu said, and quickly turned off the fire, "Just take it outside. I'm really hungry. I got lost outside. I didn't bring much dry food. I only ate a few bites in the cave. Now
My stomach is growling when I'm hungry. The cooking made by coriander is delicious." At this point, he glanced at his mother and Xian Ziyuan who had already gone out, and then lowered his voice and said, "It's much more delicious than my mother's cooking.
.”
It was really windy outside. When she came out, the old woman shivered with cold and said, "Sneeze!"
"Mom, are you okay?" Xian Ziqian was a little worried, remembering the cloak that Xuan Yi gave her, and turned around to rush back to the house that was about to collapse, "Mom, please wait a moment, I'll get some thicker clothes, it's too cold outside.
"
"It's too dangerous!" Xuan Yi stretched out his hand to block it, "The house will collapse soon."
"The cloak is still inside, and my mother is outside. It's too cold. I want to use it to protect her from the wind." Xian Ziqian glanced at the crumbling house and still wanted to go in.
"Let's find a place to take shelter from the wind." Xuan Yi did not retract his arm that was blocking Xian Ziqian's face, and his tone was a little angry, "It's too dangerous, absolutely not allowed."
Seeing that Xuan Yi refused to let her go back to the room to get the cloak, Xian Ziqian was about to try again when she heard the house roar and fall to the ground. There was no fire for a moment, and it was dark for an instant. She couldn't see anything. She only heard the sound coming from the air.
There was a sound of wood breaking, and at the same time, a hand quickly took her away from the place. She ran into Xuan Yi's arms, turned her head, and saw a tree behind Xuan Yi in the dim night.
"Did you hit a tree?" Xian Ziqian blurted out and asked. The tree behind was very thick. Xuan Yi probably didn't notice the tree behind when he pulled her.
"It's okay." Xuan Yi suddenly smiled and said gently, "I am a prince who knows martial arts."
Xian Ziqian then remembered her previous joke. She said, "So you are a prince who knows martial arts." Xuan Yi was waiting here for this sentence, "Yeah, I almost forgot about it. Fortunately, you are a prince who knows martial arts."
