After leaving Luo City safely, Yan Shu finally relieved his tense mood.

She leaned against the carriage and fell asleep quickly.

The road was bumpy and it was uncomfortable for her to rest her head on the frame. Jiang Ci saw this and raised his hand to take off the cloak and spread it on his lap. He stretched out his arm to hook Yan Shu's waist and pulled her over to pillow him. On his legs, he wrapped the cloak around her body.

Yan Shu vaguely felt a warmth approaching him, and he felt comfortable getting closer to the warmth. He also habitually wanted to reach out and hug something to sleep soundly.

Then, Yan Huai saw his little sister lying sideways on Jiang Ci's lap, wrapped in Jiang Ci's cloak, and her arms only wrapped around Jiang Ci's waist...

Ambiguity can no longer be used to describe them.

"Erlang, why don't you sit over and rest for a while, while I sit over and let my little sister be my pillow?"

Jiang Ci lowered his eyes slightly and stared at the person in his arms with his cold eyes.

"No, let her have a good sleep."

Yan Huai opened his mouth, wanting to say something unreasonable, but finally thought about it and let it go. The two of them had done too many unreasonable things.

At dawn, a ray of sunlight shone into the carriage. Yan Shu opened his eyes in confusion. After his brain went blank for a moment, he remembered that he was in the carriage at this time.

"Are you awake?" A low voice came from above the head.

Yan Shu trembled all over, and tried to get up from Jiang Ci's legs. However, he got up too hard and too far, and the seat on the carriage was too narrow. He raised his whole body backwards and fell straight to the ground. .

Jiang Ci quickly retrieved her with quick eyes and hands, and Yan Shu was forced to fall into his arms. She felt embarrassed in her heart. She fell asleep leaning against the car wall last night, so why did she wake up and lie on Jiang Ci's lap?

Woohoo, what a shame.

Yan Shu's whole head was nestled in Jiang Ci's arms, motionless. At this moment, she really wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. Jiang Ci raised the corners of his lips happily.

"Sister-in-law, if you haven't woken up yet, please sleep a little longer."

"No, no, no, I'm already awake."

Yan Shu hurriedly left Jiang Ci's arms and explained with some lack of confidence: "I usually sleep well, but I don't know why I ran to you last night."

Jiang Ci chuckled: "Well, maybe it's because it's too cold in the carriage."

"Yes, it was really cold in the carriage last night."

Only then did Yan Shu notice that he was still covered with Jiang Ci's cloak. It had probably been below freezing these past few nights, and the carriage was no better than in the room. No matter how well the sealing was done, there would still be cold wind coming in.

She may have felt too cold after falling asleep last night, and her body instinctively wanted to be close to a warm place. As a result, Jiang Ci's legs were resting on her pillow all night, and even his cloak was given to her.

Feeling a little apologetic, I didn't know what to say for a moment, and glanced at the empty seat opposite.

"Where is my third brother?"

"Brother Yan got off the bus early in the morning. Let's rest here for a while and eat something before continuing on our way."

Yan Shu arranged the cloak and returned it to Jiang Ci, then stretched and said, "That's fine, I'll go down and take a look."

"Together."

The two got off the carriage one after another. At this time, they stopped in a dense forest not far from the official road.

Yan Huai and Wu Ming were walking back carrying two bundles of dry firewood.

Seeing Yan Shu and Jiang Ci get off the carriage, Yan Huai threw the dry firewood to the ground and walked quickly towards them.

"Little sister, I was about to call you. Wuming and I just found some fungi in the forest. I don't know if they are poisonous or not, and we didn't dare to pick them back casually."

Yan Shu was very interested: "Let's go over and have a look."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Yan Huai took Yan Shu and Jiang Ci to the area where the fungi grew. The trees here were relatively dense, and the fallen leaves in autumn had already laid a thick layer. In addition, there were many dead tree trunks nearby, which created opportunities for the fungi to grow. Thanks to the natural growing environment, there are quite a few of them.

Yan Shu took a quick look and saw that most of them were pine mushrooms, boletus, some wild fungus and other common fungi.

Yan Shu was so happy that he took out three cotton bags from the space and gave one to each of Jiang Ci and Yan Huai.

She took the lead in picking several edible mushrooms and introduced them to them.

"These are non-toxic. Let's pick them back together. The stewed chicken and rabbit meat taste great."

Hearing Yan Shu say that mushrooms can make soup, Jiang Ci and Yan Huai also became interested. Together, the three of them picked all the larger mushrooms nearby, and the three cotton bags were almost full.

The three of them returned to the campsite with a full load. Huan Ying, Wu Ming and a group of Xuan Sect disciples came back from the forest on the other side. They went for a walk in the forest and gained a lot.

Huan Ying walked over with a smile.

"Miss Yan, our brothers have hunted some prey. I think you are good at it. How can we get it to eat later?"

After saying that, Huanying ordered his men to bring up the prey. Yan Shu took a look. In such a short time, they had shot a total of five pheasants and one wild goat.

"Let's save the goats for roasting in the evening. We happened to pick some fungi and process the five pheasants, and we'll make soup in an iron pot soon."

Yan Shu thought that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the disciples of Xuanzong were all wearing thin clothes. Although they had martial arts skills, they had to sleep in the open all day and eat hard dry food every day. No matter how strong their bodies were, they could not withstand such torture.

Under limited conditions, she tried her best to let everyone take a sip of hot soup.

Huanying said happily: "Okay, just listen to Miss Yan."

Wu Ming offered to help: "I'll pluck the hair."

Yan Huai said: "Let's boil a pot of water first, and let's make it faster together."

Seeing that they had assigned all the work, Yan Shu took a sink from the carriage and started picking mushrooms. Jiang Ci also came over and squatted beside him to help.

"I don't know where my parents, eldest brother, and second brother are now."

Although they encountered many dangers during their escape, the family was always together and could take care of each other.

She was really worried about them after being separated for so long this time. She wondered if they had encountered any dangers along the way.

Jiang Ci said with relief: "It's much slower for them to travel on foot. We should be able to meet them within the boundaries of Gucheng at the latest. Besides, they are escorted by people from the Xuanzong Sect, so ordinary refugees can't hurt them."

Yan Shu nodded, secretly praying that he could arrive in Gucheng earlier to meet his parents and brothers.

While the two were chatting, the mushrooms had been picked. There was a small river nearby. Jiang Ci took the initiative to pick up a pot of mushrooms and went over to clean them. After Wu Ming, Yan Huai and others cleaned the five pheasants, they also took them to the river to clean them.

After the ingredients were prepared, Yan Shu began to stew the soup.

Half an hour later, a pot of chicken stew was ready. The aroma of meat was accompanied by the fresh air of mushrooms. Finally, a handful of chives were added. The aroma instantly spread far away, quickly attracting everyone. .

Huan Ying glanced at the iron pot and praised: "We also use water to cook the meat. Why is the meat cooked by Miss Yan so fragrant?"

Wu Ming said: "I just took a closer look. The order in which Miss Yan cooks the soup is different from ours. We don't even blanch the water, so the stewed soup has a fishy smell. It's strange that it tastes good."

Yan Shu smiled softly and said, "You each bring a bowl to serve the soup."
