Pang Xiao picked up the big seal and patted off the soil on it.
The torches blown by the wind in the mountains are clearly extinguished, but the four seal characters "Treasure of the North Hebei" can still be clearly seen.
Hu Zi and Mu Jinghu were dumbfounded.
"This is the jade seal of the Northern Hebei!"
"How did this thing appear here?"
Mu Jinghu and Huzi turned their heads to look at Qin Yining. This land was circled by Qin Yining, and she knew the depth of the excavation, which showed that the jade seal that Li Qitian couldn't find was indeed hidden by Qin Yining.
Hu Zi lowered his voice and said with excitement: "I didn't expect the princess to hide such a treasure!"
Pang Xiao smiled and said, "You can't talk nonsense about it. You should just think that this thing has spirituality, and it's better to run here with long legs."
Qin Yining burst out laughing, and even Xiao Porridge rolled his eyes, and the slightly tense atmosphere just now eased.
Hu Zi was also surprised that his words were inappropriate, and he scratched the back of his head with a sorry smile.
Pang Xiao turned the jade seal and handed it to Qin Yining, "You take it." He added, "Let's restore this place to its original state."
"Okay!" Hu Zi and Mu Jinghu had no objection, and quickly got busy.
Qin Yining held the heavy jade seal to show Lian Xiaozhu.
Even Xiao Porridge's slender and clean fingertips caressed the four seal characters "Treasure of Northern Hebei" covered in mud, and his eyes were already moist.
As for the past, it is impossible to say that she is not at all disappointed. But she is not an ignorant child after all, she understands what she can and cannot do now.
Moreover, in order to protect her, Qin Yining has kept her most beloved for so many years. No matter how difficult she has been through these years, she has never treated her badly. Even if she wants to take out the jade seal now, she will take everything into consideration for her. This matter is said, if she has a bad heart, she will be left on purpose and even killed in the first place, won't she have to suffer too
Qin Yining is kind and dedicated to her, treating her as her sister, so she can't be bothered about the past memory that she can't remember, and hurt the closest people with those past events, how is it worth it
The Qi of Northern Hebei has long been exhausted, and in the end it is over.
The three of Pang Xiao restored the place to its original state, and transported some snow to cover it on the ground.
"Fortunately, the snow has been heavy recently, and these traces and our footprints will be covered up in a short time." Pang Xiao said with a smile.
Qin Yining nodded and handed the jade seal to Pang Xiao for storage, "I don't think anyone will come from this wilderness. Let's think about how to spend tonight. It's not suitable to go down the mountain now."
As soon as the voice fell, a wolf howl of "Oww" was heard.
Qin Yining and Lian Xiaozhu couldn't help tensing up.
Pang Xiao hugged Qin Yining's shoulder.
Looking around, the branches of the woods are full of claws and claws, and the wolf howls can be heard constantly in the ears. It was the sound of footsteps falling from something unknown.
He suddenly remembered that when Qin Yining was a child, it was dark, cold, hungry, and wild beasts that could come up at any time. He had to work non-stop every day...
What if I suddenly get sick? What if you meet a beast, or get hurt
When girls from other families lived a comfortable life, his baby Pimple had already tasted the warmth and coldness of the world in order to survive.
Qin Yining didn't notice Pang Xiao's strange emotions, so he took Lian Xiaozhu's hand and said, "Is there any caves or the like around here, let us take a break for the night?"
Lian Xiaozhu nodded, "Yes, go this way, along the hillside. Sister, come with me."
Lian Xiaozhu returned to hold Qin Yining's hand, and the two of them were familiar with each other and picked up a thick wooden stick to clear the obstacles in front of them. Pang Xiao and the others were surprised by the agility of their footsteps.
Pang Xiao, Mu Jinghu and Hu Zi hurriedly followed.
After walking about two cups of tea, even Xiao Porridge found the familiar place, which is not really a cave, but a depression formed by a thick tree root on the hillside, which can half cover the top of the head, Block the wind.
The five people lit a fire in the middle, and Qin Yining hung up his cloak to make the door curtain.
Qin Yining instructed the three men: "Go find the snow, pile it up all around, and compact the snow to block the gaps."
The three of them did what they were told, and everyone started working together, and soon they made a learning hole for hiding.
Entering the hole through a gap where only one person can pass sideways, the warm bonfire is hot, and the slightly damp branches are discarded. The selected dry branches burn without producing much smoke. As a result, the heat of the bonfire quickly made the snow next to the interior more solid.
"I didn't expect the princess to be so powerful that she could create such a warm snow house." Hu Zi laughed.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "It's nothing, we're just crowding together for a while. If you live in such a place for a long time, you'll get sick."
Hu Zi deliberately asked Qin Yining what kind of place he lived in the mountains before, whether he built a house or lived in a cave, but when he saw Pang Xiao's distressed expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips. .
Qin Yining and Lian Xiaozhu huddled against the innermost side, Pang Xiao unfolded the cloak to Qin Yining and Lian Xiaozhu as a quilt, and sat down beside Qin Yining, Huzi and Mu Jinghu also sat down next to Pang Xiao, took the The bread from the family is skewered with twigs and baked on the fire.
Qin Yining made Lian Xiaozhu lean on her shoulder, while she leaned on Pang Xiao's shoulder. In such a simple and warm environment, the air had a faint smell of firewood and the fragrant aroma of noodle cakes, which made people feel at ease when they smelled it.
Xu was because Pang Xiao was by his side, Qin Yining was not as alert as he used to be in the mountains, and she soon fell asleep.
Pang Xiao originally wanted to wake her up to eat some hot noodle cakes, but seeing her sleeping peacefully and her face flushed red, he was reluctant to wake her up, so he simply ate baked noodle cakes with Huzi and Mu Jinghu in the snow. , arranged to take turns to watch the night, and then rested in peace.
The next day it was bright, and the five of them simply ate a few bites of cake, then found their way down the mountain, and returned to Liangcheng after tidying up.
As for Pang Xiao, who took a few people out for the night, and called Lian Xiaozhu, Bingtang guessed that what they did had something to do with Lian Xiaozhu's life experience. Bingtang would not take the initiative to ask any of them. What she should know, there is no need for her to ask, Qin Yining would have told her long ago, and if it was dangerous to her, Qin Yining would hide it.
Just as Bingtang thought, the rest of the people didn't ask any more questions.
Qin Yining took off her damp clothes, and when the cool wind blew, she covered her mouth and sneezed three times in a row.
"Princess, don't cause the cold." Bingtang said nervously, "I'll go to prepare the ginger soup first. You and the small porridge will eat a big bowl hotly to drive away the cold."
Qin Yining nodded with a smile, "By the way, I will give some to the three of them."
"understood."
Bingtang quickly went to borrow the kitchen of the inn.
Ji Yun brought a hot handkerchief to serve Qin Yining to scrub.
"The closer you get to the capital, the colder it gets. The princess' body is cold, so you should pay more attention, so that your hands and feet are like ice cubes."
"It shouldn't be possible in the future, there's no way to do it, I spent the night in the snow last night, Ah Ni!" rubbing her itchy nose, Qin Yining said tearfully, "It's very cold at night, it's a loss for us to find a special one. There was a fire in the small cave, otherwise it would be so cold."
Ji Yun sighed, "You've caught a cold, so don't wash your hair today, scrub and wear thicker clothes, eat the ginger soup to get a good sweat, and it would be better if you can sleep."
"Yeah." Qin Yining nodded and wiped his nose with the piece of paper.
Pang Xiao ate ginger soup next door, heard Bingtang say that Qin Yining seemed to have caught a cold, and hurried back to the house. Qin Yining had already dried up the ginger soup in one gulp, chewed another piece of ginger, sweating on his spicy forehead and neck.
Pang Xiao came in and saw Qin Yining wrapping himself up with a quilt, he couldn't help but said distressedly, "It's all my fault, I didn't think carefully enough, and I didn't prepare for the night on the mountain, so you caught a cold."
"It doesn't have anything to do with you, everyone is fine, but I have a cold, so that's my problem." Qin Yining smiled, "It's all discussed? When will we leave?"
"You're sick, let's rest here for two days before leaving."
"Isn't the original plan to rush to Maocheng for New Year's Eve? If it is delayed, I am afraid that the New Year's Eve will catch up in the wilderness."
Pang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Let's look at your situation first. If it doesn't work, let's go here after the new year. Anyway, it's not the first time I've been disrespectful." Broken posture.
Qin Yining shook his head amusingly: "That's not good, it's already full of pigtails for people to catch, so I can't add fuel to the fire." Having said this, Qin Yining waved to Jiyun and Bingtang, and called Lian Xiaocong to arrive. in front of.
Bingtang and Jiyun knew that Qin Yining had something to say, and hurriedly retreated to the door to guard, not letting anyone approach.
"Zhi Xi, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Pang Xiao asked seriously.
Qin Yining pulled Lian Xiaozhu, looked at her a little nervous appearance, touched her cheek with pity, and said, "I want to ask you for help, find the right person to take care of Xiaozhu, put her in a safe place, then We found the thing, and I'm afraid that one day, we won't be able to hide Xiao Porridge's identity, and it will cause her death."
Pang Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, it's better to be foolproof."
Lian Xiaozhu shook his head, "Sister, I'm not afraid, I don't want to be separated from you, and I don't want to be separated from Big Sister Bingtang..."
"Little Porridge, be good." Qin Yining stopped Lian Xiaozhu's words and nodded her face, "Follow me back to Beijing, it's like sending a fish to a cat, it's too dangerous for you, I promise , I will definitely pick you up for reunion when things are resolved in the future."
