The two of them stayed together for a while, and only returned to the inn when it was almost dawn.
The captain of the guards was puzzled when he heard this. Perhaps this was what young people were like, they liked to mess around.
He had greatly underestimated the young man's endurance, and the next morning, although they had originally planned to set out, the two of them suddenly got inspired and packed up to go out hunting.
Lu Yunchu said, "I heard there are a lot of lambs on the prairie. I want to eat roasted lamb."
The chief guard was helpless: "Madam, the lambs were also raised by humans. If you want to hunt, you have to go further north to a place where few people go. Only then can you find wild animals."
Lu Yunchu: "Oh, is that so? Thanks for the reminder."
The captain of the guards covered his mouth and stamped his feet in anger.
Lu Yunchu and Wen Zhan set out to look for prey together and refused to let the guards accompany them.
Originally, the two of them were riding on separate horses. After running for a while, Lu Yunchu muttered to himself, "It's so cold."
She was wrapped very warmly, with cotton stuffed in her gloves, and her head and face were well protected, so she wasn't cold at all.
When she said this, Wen Zhan reined in his horse and stopped, and Lu Yunchu squeezed in front of Wen Zhan.
She took off her hat and homemade mask, snuggled into Wen Zhan's arms, and lay back comfortably.
Fortunately, Lu Yunchu's horse was quite smart and could follow Wen Zhan's horse without being led. Otherwise, Wen Zhan would have to spare some energy to lead the horse.
Wen Zhan rode the horse much more skillfully than Lu Yunchu. The scenery flew backwards rapidly, making Lu Yunchu experience the thrill of having his heart beat faster.
She wanted to speak, but the cold wind rushed into her mouth. Wen Zhan rode with one hand, holding her by the arm, and covered her mouth with his other hand.
It's not really covering your mouth, it's blocking the wind.
Lu Yunchu felt embarrassed and put on the mask silently.
Wen Zhan is a good boyfriend for home and travel. He can be a male mother or a hunter. Lu Yunchu only needs to nestle in his arms and wait for him to look for the traces of prey seriously.
The wind was not strong, and he looked around carefully. The sound of his shallow breathing was very obvious.
Lu Yunchu raised her chin and could barely see his chin. So she leaned sideways and kissed Wen Zhan's chin. There was no way, this serious breathing sound was too sexy.
Wen Zhan was already used to her occasional sneak attacks. He was not annoyed by Lu Yunchu interrupting him. Instead, he reached out and patted her head gently in a soothing manner, probably thinking that she was getting impatient waiting.
Lu Yunchu chuckled in his heart and continued to nestle in his arms.
Fortunately, she did not let the guards follow her, otherwise it would be too embarrassing. The captain of the guards would probably have an embarrassed expression again.
Finally, Wen Zhan hunted down the fat sheep that Lu Yunchu had been longing for. When he got off the horse, Lu Yunchu followed suit.
Wen Zhan suddenly supported her, looking shocked. Lu Yunchu saw the look in his eyes and realized that he was probably frightened by what he said about having a broken leg in two lifetimes.
She said: "I just dismounted, not to that extent."
Wen Zhan smiled shyly for his own fuss, and then... carried Lu Yunchu off the horse.
Well, gentle people are really helpless when they become stubborn. Lu Yunchu felt like a useless person without hands and feet, and Wen Zhan wanted to serve her in every aspect.
The two of them walked over there together. Wen Zhan packed up the fat sheep and placed it in the cage next to the horse. Then the two of them returned to the inn.
Halfway through the walk, Lu Yunchu felt hungry: "Why don't we find someone to take care of the sheep? I'll eat something first. I'm so hungry."
Wen Zhan naturally agreed.
This place was sparsely populated with people from the Central Plains and nomadic tribes. It took the two of them a while to find a family.
It was also good luck that they were from the Central Plains, so there was no language barrier. After processing the fat sheep, cutting and lighting a fire, Lu Yunchu invited them to have a meal together.
Perhaps because they have lived here for generations, they have been infected with the boldness of the nomadic people. When they saw Wen Zhan, their eyes lit up and they immediately turned to Lu Yunchu and shouted, "Your husband is so handsome."
Wen Zhan was already feeling helpless sitting outside, and after hearing these words, his expression couldn't help but become a little stiff.
Lu Yunchu laughed: "Shouldn't we prefer strong men?"
The Han girl of the same age shook her head: "I like them all, as long as they look good. Although strong men are good at hunting, we can also support ourselves." She lowered her voice, "But my sister said that the stronger the man, the better he is at sex-"
Lu Yunchu choked on his own saliva and tears came out.
Wen Zhan on the other side clenched his fists instantly.
It wasn't that he wanted to eavesdrop, it was just that the girl's voice was too loud.
As soon as she finished speaking, her sister's husband came in, carrying a frame of prey, and stared at the stranger who appeared in the tent.
"Yes." The girl said frankly, "My elder sister fell in love with him at the beginning—"
Lu Yunchu quickly interrupted her: "I know, I know, no need to elaborate."
She smacked her lips, watching her elder sister coming close to him affectionately, making faces and nudging Lu Yunchu.
Lu Yunchu's face flushed. This foreign man was really strong, almost twice as strong as the captain of the guards she could choose. And the Han girl standing in front of him was so petite that she seemed like she could be lifted up with one hand.
It had been a long time since she met someone her age who was so talkative, and they hit it off immediately, so she let loose and made the same faces back. It wasn't vulgar, it just felt very... well, it was vulgar.
Little did she know that Wen Zhan's gaze was lightly falling on her, and then lightly moving away.
The mutton was quickly cleaned up, and the burly foreign man joined the dinner. His Chinese characters were difficult to pronounce, and Lu Yunchu could not remember them all. He also did not understand Chinese, so he could not communicate with Lu Yunchu. The two of them smiled at each other to express their goodwill.
Maybe her silly smile was a little too silly, causing her sister to giggle: "I didn't expect you to be a bit like him."
Lu Yunchu rubbed his head, feeling embarrassed by her smile, then turned around and waved to Wen Zhan: "Come over to eat."
The meat of wild fat sheep is extremely tender. In order to survive the winter, they have stored enough fat, so they are roasted over a fire. The fat melts and keeps dripping onto the firewood. The flames pop with sparks, roasting the skin to a crispy and fragrant texture.
Lu Yunchu brought enough spices, such as cumin and pepper, which were considered expensive spices and could only be bought in spice shops. She didn't feel sorry at all and generously sprinkled them on the mutton. The flames licked the spices, emitting a rich aroma, and the air was filled with the aroma of roasted mutton, which made people salivate.
In the past, when I ate mutton, I would eat it as skewers and drink the soup. I rarely had the opportunity to enjoy it like this.
After the mutton is roasted, cut off the chunks with a knife, and the hot fat will sizzle out along the edges.
Lu Yunchu couldn't help but took a sip, gasping for breath due to the heat.
Wen Zhan had been silent at first, but when he saw that she was scalded, he immediately handed her a water bag.
Lu Yunchu didn't see it, but saw the burly man who was eating as much as she did. Seeing that he was also scalded, he grinned.
After laughing at other people’s husbands, I finally remembered my own.
She cut a piece and put it in a bowl and handed it to Wen Zhan. Wen Zhan took it with his head down, squatted aside, and ate it in small bites.
Biting through the crispy skin sprinkled with spices, the fat inside quickly wraps the tip of the tongue, and the mellow and rich taste rushes to the tip of the nose. The meat is tender and the taste is not inferior to fat, with a sweet milky aroma that lingers on the root of the tongue for a long time.
Lu Yunchu's mouth was full of oil, and she looked very unpretentious. She wiped her mouth and moved towards Wen Zhan: "Is it delicious?"
Wen Zhan nodded.
"Then eat more." She diligently cut a piece of lamb leg for him, "You are the hero of this lamb."
Wen Zhan pursed his lips and forced a smile at her.
The aroma of mutton fat made people dizzy. Wen Zhan ate very quickly. Lu Yunchu asked him to cut another piece and put it in the bowl. Without thinking, he blurted out: "This is too oily. You have a bad stomach. Don't eat too much."
Wen Zhan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked up at her, his eyes looking very... aggrieved.
Lu Yunchu swallowed her saliva. This was the first time Wen Zhan looked at her like this. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind: It's over.
She suddenly remembered that Wen Zhan had recovered from his illness.
She chuckled and tried to play dumb, but Wen Zhan ignored her and just held the bowl and lowered his head to eat the meat.
As everyone knows, Wen Zhan is a person without temper, so Lu Yunchu chewed the roasted lamb with greasy juice splattering on it while secretly observing Wen Zhan's reaction.
Is Wen Zhan angry or not
It seems like he is angry, but also like he is not.
After eating the mutton, the girls served tea. In the north where tea is scarce and expensive, this is considered a way to entertain guests.
Lu Yunchu thanked him, and attentively brought the tea and sat down next to Wen Zhan: "Drink some tea and get rid of the oil."
Wen Zhan took it and drank the tea obediently. Even though it was old and broken tea, he had no expression on his face and still tasted it carefully, looking no different from usual.
Lu Yunchu stared at him for a while, but couldn't see anything wrong with him, so he finally gave up.
After eating and resting, the two prepared to go back.
The girls hugged each other and said goodbye, while Wen Zhan stood outside the tent waiting patiently.
After they said their goodbyes, Lu Yunchu ran over and took Wen Zhan's sleeve, and the two of them walked towards the place where the horses were tied.
When others are angry, you respond with a cold face, cold war, and cold violence, and remain silent.
But Wen Zhan himself has a cold appearance and is a mute, who can remain silent better than anyone else, so it is really hard to tell whether he is angry or not.
Lu Yunchu shook his sleeves and said, "Do you think the mutton is delicious today?"
Wen Zhan turned around. He was always so polite and would always look at others before answering.
He nodded.
Lu Yunchu felt himself shrinking his neck, feeling a little cautious.
"So did you have fun today?"
Wen Zhan still nodded.
How could you tell if he was angry or not? Lu Yunchu was at a loss and asked directly, "You're not angry, are you?"
This time, Wen Zhan did not nod immediately. Instead, he jumped onto the horse and reached out to her.
Lu Yunchu felt something was wrong and asked, "Are you angry?"
Wen Zhan sighed, shook his head, held her hand, lifted her onto the horse and placed her in front of him.
After returning to the inn and washing up, Lu Yunchu was tired and prepared to go to bed early.
She was waiting for Wen Zhan on the bed. Wen Zhan came after a long time. There was thick water vapor on his body, and it seemed that he had taken a shower again.
Lu Yunchu was already sleepy, and rubbed against his arms in a daze. He had thought that by lying on the bed and chatting for a while, he would be able to ask him whether he was angry or not. After a little intimacy, he would probably calm down, and it would not be a big problem. However, he underestimated his sleepiness.
She mumbled a few words, but couldn't hold on and fell asleep, her head still on Wen Zhan's chest.
The oil lamp was still on, and she couldn't sleep well.
While in a daze, I was suddenly woken up by Wen Zhan.
She opened her eyes and saw a piece of paper was handed to her without her noticing.
Lu Yunchu opened his eyes wide and tried hard to recognize the handwriting.
You can vaguely see what is written on it: Am I not good at sex
"Cough cough cough!" Lu Yunchu coughed violently, and his sleepiness was completely gone.
