Xiao Jinheng was greatly alarmed and rushed over, asking, "Little village girl, what is that in your hand?"
That brat, didn't she say she couldn't start a fire?
She was clearly toying with him.
If she had such a good thing, why didn't she take it out earlier? Why did he have to be so foolish and rub sticks together to make fire...
Xiao Xi Tian blinked her big eyes and casually lied, "I just picked this up. It looks like we can eat grilled fish!"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
How come he couldn't pick one up?
That brat was too cunning and mischievous.
The fire was lit, emitting a wisp of smoke.
Xiao Xi Tian gutted the large catfish and then took out barbecue seasonings from her space to sprinkle on it.
Finally, she threaded the catfish onto a wooden skewer and placed it over the fire to slowly roast...
Within moments, a meaty aroma wafted out.
Just a whiff of it whetted Xiao Jinheng's appetite.
She had been pampered since childhood and had tasted all sorts of delicacies.
When she was in the palace, she wouldn't even glance at such catfish, but now she wanted to swallow the bones...
"Wait a moment, it's not cooked yet!" Xiao Xi Tian glanced at Xiao Jinheng and couldn't help but chuckle.
That brat, who usually looked so serious and reserved, was like a little glutton in front of delicious food, which was quite amusing.
"I'm not that hungry, you can take your time roasting it!" Xiao Jinheng cleared his throat and turned his face away to hide his embarrassment.
Who knew his stomach would betray him with a series of 'gurgling' sounds...
Xiao Xi Tian burst into laughter upon hearing it.
"Brat, you're such a tsundere, your stomach never lies!"
You arrogant thing, if you have the ability, don't eat the fish, go pick wild fruits instead...
Those things cause heartburn and don't fill you up, making you hungrier the more you eat.
Xiao Jinheng's little face turned red, and he snorted, "Everyone gets hungry, only little monsters don't eat!"
"Oh?" Xiao Xi Tian looked at him meaningfully.
Xiao Jinheng said, "Little village girl, won't you get hungry if you don't eat? If you get really hungry, will you eat little children?"
After saying that, he instinctively took two steps back, afraid that the little village girl would suddenly go mad and bite him to death.
Xiao Xi Tian: "..."
Why was this brat so obsessed with the topic of monsters?
If she were truly a child-eating monster, that brat would have been swallowed long ago.
So Xiao Xi Tian found a dog-head mask from her space and secretly put it on.
While Xiao Jinheng wasn't paying attention, she suddenly revealed her face and shouted, "Ahhh! A monster is coming to catch children..."
Xiao Jinheng was so scared that he fell onto the ground, his handsome face pale and devoid of color.
That sudden scare had almost made him faint...
When people are caught off guard, their bodies don't have an immediate reaction, so a sudden fright would surely be too much for their hearts.
"Little village girl!" Xiao Jinheng said with a stern face and a frown, "If anything happens to me, you will be entirely responsible!"
Xiao Xi Tian took off the mask, suppressing her mischievous urge, "Hmph, who told you to call me a little monster..."
If she didn't teach him a lesson, he would dare to do it again.
Xiao Jinheng glared at her, got up, and walked to the campfire. He flipped the catfish and remained silent, not talking to Xiao Xi Tian.
"Hey, brat, are you angry?" Xiao Xi Tian nudged him.
Xiao Jinheng said faintly, "The catfish is ready..."
He took one down, blew away the heat, and as he broke it open, the tender white fish meat emitted wisps of fragrance, more enticing than a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
"Here, eat it, it'll get fishy if it cools down!" Xiao Jinheng handed a piece of fish to Xiao Xi Tian.
Because of the seasonings, the fish meat wasn't dry, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, exceptionally delicious...
"Xiao Jinheng, you know, catfish stewed with eggplant is really delicious and goes well with rice!" Xiao Xi Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Jinheng paused his eating upon hearing this, "I've never had catfish stewed with eggplant!"
The meals prepared by Granny Jin and the kitchen were specially cooked, said to be beneficial for children's bone development and nutrient intake...
And they were also very bland. No matter how good the food was, it tasted bland.
It was still Sister Guihua from the Yun family who cooked the best.
"If you want to eat it, I'll ask Sister Guihua to make it for you when we get back to the village!" Xiao Xi Tian finished half a fish and casually threw the bones away.
Xiao Jinheng looked up at the sky and sighed slightly, "I just don't know when Commander Kong and the others will find us..."
Those useless fellows, he would deal with them when he got back.
Kong Xingzhuo and two dark guards, who were roasting wild rabbits in the mountains, shivered simultaneously.
"Let's eat quickly, it's getting dark!" Xiao Xi Tian had a small appetite and was almost full after eating two catfish.
Xiao Jinheng stood up and pointed into the woods, "When I was picking branches earlier, I saw a very large tree hollow. Let's spend the night there..."
There were no caves nearby, and if it rained again in the middle of the night, it would be troublesome.
One must not get sick in this environment.
Xiao Xi Tian rummaged through her space, wanting to get a tent, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find one...
"What if there are insects in the tree hollow? It would be terrible if we got bitten!" Xiao Xi Tian was a bit reluctant.
Xiao Jinheng pursed his lips and smiled, "Let's go take a look first!"
Coward.
So, after the two little buns were full, they lit a torch and went to the tree hollow...
"Wow, it's really spacious in here, enough for us to spend the night!"
Xiao Xi Tian peered into the tree hollow and suddenly smelled a strange odor.
It smelled like animal droppings.
"How is it, did I find a good place!" Xiao Jinheng said proudly.
It was completely dark, and the torch's light was limited, so Xiao Xi Tian took out a green-light flashlight and shone it into the tree hollow...
"This looks like some animal's den!" Xiao Xi Tian said.
Xiao Jinheng was stunned. His gaze was fixed on the green-light flashlight, and he was completely flustered.
The little village girl was glowing.
Perhaps she wasn't a little monster, but some kind of immortal child?
Storybooks said that the attendants of certain deities would glow...
"Little village girl, let me see that thing in your hand!" Xiao Jinheng reached out his little hand.
Today, he was determined to find out the girl's identity. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xiao Xi Tian widened her eyes, "Oh, what are you looking at? I just picked this up!"
Xiao Jinheng: "..."
It's great to be an immortal child, starting with nothing and getting all your equipment by picking things up.
Just then, a terrifying howl echoed from the depths of the forest, as if something was charging towards them...
