Chapter 227 Longfei Village
Xiao Zhixue's appearance was like timely rain. She joined the battle with her agility. With the combined efforts of the two, the reindeer was finally defeated. Its painful howls echoed in the empty snowfield, looking particularly desolate.
However, just when the world seemed to be returning to peace, a silver snow leopard suddenly fell from the sky, breaking the tranquility of the moment.
The silvery figure, like a ghost from an ice-covered world, had cold eyes and an unquestionable threat as it approached them step by step, as if it wanted to take this rare prey for itself.
Xiao Zhixue's reaction was as quick as lightning. She pulled out the knife she carried with her and handed it to An Ying'er, her eyes full of trust and concern.
An Ying'er gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, her eyes determined. A battle of survival and courage was about to begin. In this snowy field full of dangers, the tacit understanding and trust between them became the most solid support.
He wished he could immediately transform into a gust of wind in the forest, find a solid old tree, and crash into it heavily to escape from this extremely embarrassing situation.
The anxiety and helplessness in my heart rolled in my chest and turned into a silent cry.
Xiao Zhixue seemed unaware of Fang Jiawen's embarrassment. Her steps were firm and powerful, dragging the heavy harvest with her as she continued to move forward across the vast snowfield.
An Ying'er followed closely behind, holding a cloth bag filled with collected wild vegetables and a fat wild rabbit. They trembled slightly in the bag, revealing the gift from nature.
Fang Weiyi knew that he could not drag the two huge prey, so he turned to An Ying'er nimbly and took over the weight while asking softly. His broad shoulders carried the team's supplies as well as a silent responsibility.
His eyes were inadvertently attracted by the pair of majestic deer antlers in Xiao Zhixue's hands, and his eyes revealed an indescribable desire and respect.
This pair of deer antlers is undoubtedly a rare medicinal herb. Legend has it that they can nourish the kidney qi, replenish essence and blood, and strengthen the muscles and bones. For practitioners, they are a rare treasure.
Although there are many rare and precious herbs in the mysterious Valley of Divine Medicine, such large antlers are extremely rare even there.
This temptation made Fang Weiyi feel itchy inside, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it due to the relationship constraints.
Xiao Zhixue seemed to see through his thoughts. Her face darkened slightly, and she cast a sharp gaze at him, with an unquestionable warning in her words: "These two antlers were not easy to come by. Don't have any crooked ideas, kid."
Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyi could only nod awkwardly, lower his head, quicken his pace and walk ahead, trying to hide the slight loss in his heart.
The group of four returned to the makeshift camp. Seeing them return safely, everyone in the team was finally able to put their minds at ease.
Witnessing the results of Xiao Zhixue's solo hunting, everyone couldn't help but admire her extraordinary survival ability, and a feeling of respect arose in their hearts.
Xiao Zhixue handed the reindeer to the thoughtful Lu Degui, who was responsible for distributing the delicious venison to comfort everyone's hard work and desire over the past few days.
She herself was concentrating on processing the snow leopard, skillfully skinning and deboning it, and cutting it into small, even pieces.
Taking advantage of the time when no one was paying attention, she quietly put some of the snow leopard meat and bones into the space magic weapon she carried with her, as a reserve for possible difficult times in the future.
When we learned that there would be a surprise of venison for dinner, laughter broke out in the team, and the warm atmosphere dispelled the fatigue from days of running around.
Xiao Zhixue looked at the abundant meat stored in the space and had a plan in mind. She decided to use these ingredients to make a pot of steaming hot broth for everyone on this cold night, so that this harsh winter night would also be filled with warmth.
As for the wild rabbits, she decided to keep them privately. After cleaning them herself, she carefully packed them up and kept them.
In this biting cold, preserving rabbit meat is not a problem and is enough to serve as an additional supply in the future.
After enjoying the feast of venison, Lu Degui suggested setting off again at the right time.
The environment here is harsh and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Every moment of staying means more cold and suffering.
After everyone had gathered themselves, they followed Xiao Zhixue and headed towards Nanchong City in high spirits.
After crossing more than twenty miles of desolate land, the outline of a mountain village gradually emerged on the horizon ahead, like a natural barrier blocking their way forward.
To reach Nanchong City, this unknown mountain village is a hurdle that must be faced.
There is no village marked here on the map, and the secrets it hides are as elusive as this snowy area.
Is he a kind resident or a fierce strongman?
Xiao Zhixue's heart was filled with alarm bells, as she knew very well that if she encountered bandits, a test would be inevitable.
The emergence of the village brought hope to the fleeing villagers. They finally had hope of ending their life of sleeping in the open air and escaping from this cruel world of ice and snow.
The embarrassment and discomfort of the men who were forced to wear women's clothes reached their peak. They could almost feel shame in every breath and they desperately hoped to change back into their own clothes as soon as possible.
Just as they were approaching the village gate, several armed men suddenly jumped out from the dense forests on both sides. The leader, Ding Lao San, spoke in a rough voice that was as shocking as thunder: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the territory of Longfei Village!"
This sudden questioning made the fleeing villagers tremble. They hugged their only property tightly in their arms, their hearts filled with fear.
Xiao Zhixue's brows furrowed even deeper; her premonition unfortunately came true - this village was definitely not simple.
There is no possibility of turning back. Zhangzhou City is in the vortex of war, and this is the only way to Nanchong City.
Now that we have come this far, we must not return empty-handed, nor let this difficult journey go to waste.
The village chief Lu Degui stepped forward, trying his best to maintain his dignity, and bowed deeply to the big men in front of him: "Dear heroes, we are just refugees, our purpose is only to seek refuge in Nanchong City, and we accidentally entered your place. Please show us a hand and let us pass."
Lu Degui's plea seemed quite awkward because he was dressed in women's clothes.
The faces of the big men suddenly turned gloomy and their brows were twisted into a knot.
Ding Laosan squinted his eyes, carefully examined the "woman" in front of him, and spat with disdain:
"Bah! This weird thing is so disgusting!"
Then, Ding Laosan winked at his men and gave them an order fiercely:
"Search their belongings, take the women back with you, and leave no men or children alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the group of villains pounced on the women in the team like wolves and tigers.
Lu Degui suddenly came to realize that he was still wearing women's clothes. A feeling of regret welled up in his heart and he was very upset about his impulsiveness just now.
The villagers' faces turned pale. They hugged their children and packages tightly and retreated in fear like frightened birds.
Seeing Ding Lao San approaching step by step, Zhang quickly hugged Xiao Chen to her chest, with a resolute look, bravely resisting the impending invasion: "Stay away from us, you are not allowed to come over!"
