Chapter 77: Overnight in the Mountains
Su Mumu also looked around, nodded and agreed, "Well, that's all we can do."
Bihe originally wanted to refuse Baili Yushu, but now that Su Mumu has agreed, she can't say anything against it.
But to be honest, although Baili Yushu had saved their lives, she was not willing to let her princess spend a night with a strange man outside.
So she made up her mind to watch the princess carefully this night and not let Baili Yushu take advantage of her!
Although Forsythia also felt that something was wrong, it was undeniable that Baili Yushu was right. If he rushed back to Nandu at this time, it would obviously be too late.
Anyway, Su Mumu had her by her side. If Baili Yushu was really a swindler who took advantage of others' danger, she would fight him to the death no matter what!
The four people returned to the mountainside from the cliff and found a slightly spacious cave. Baili Yushu and Lianqiao went outside to collect some firewood and shot a few hares.
Forsythia lit a fire and set up a grill on the fire. Baili Yushu skinned the rabbit, processed the rabbit meat, spread it out and skewered it on a wooden stick, thus grilling the rabbit meat.
.
After a while, the originally pink rabbit meat changed color, and a food-like aroma wafted out through the gradually roasted skin and meat, making people salivate.
Baili Yushu saw that the color of the rabbit meat was almost cooked, so he picked it up and put it in front of his nose and smelled it to make sure it was ready to eat. He first broke off a rabbit leg and handed it to Su Mumu.
Su Mumu couldn't wait to take it, and then took a bite. A burnt aroma filled the tip of her nose, and she almost burned her tongue because she ate too quickly, but she still couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, brother Mo's."
The barbecue skills are really amazing, almost comparable to the chef of Fenglai Restaurant!"
The rabbit meat was oily but not greasy. It was the most original taste she had ever tasted, but it was even more delicious than any seasonings added.
Su Mumu was satisfied with the meal, her eyebrows were crescent, and she took another bite before she could swallow it.
"Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll bake it for you." Baili Yushu finished dividing the rabbit meat for Lianqiao and the others, and looked at Su Mumu eating with great joy, smiling extremely tenderly.
If his Xuan'er was still here, would she still be smiling like this and say such things to him?
"By the way, Brother Mo, why did you come to Mangshan?" And you also appeared with Forsythia and Bihe?
Baili Yushu said calmly: "It's nothing, I just felt a little uneasy, so I asked Miss Ronger where you collected the medicine, and then rode here. Later I saw your carriage at the foot of the mountain, and I guessed that you had already gone up the mountain.
, I have been looking for you in the mountains, and then I happened to meet Miss Forsythia and Miss Bihe. I believe you should know what happened next."
"Brother Mo's life-saving grace, Su is deeply grateful." Su Mumu hugged Baili Yushu's fist.
"Brother Mu, what are you talking about? If it weren't for your rescue that day, how could Yu Shu have survived to this day? If I really want to thank you, it should be me who thanks you." Baili Yu Shu paused and continued, "
In fact, I have already regarded you as my brother, so you don’t have to be like this."
Su Mumu smiled and said, "Oh? From now on, how about I call you Brother Mo?"
The man in front of her always gave her a very solid and caring feeling. Although she didn't know what this feeling was, it was undeniable that she relied on this feeling.
Baili Yushu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "Okay, it's rare that Brother Mu doesn't dislike it, but Mo is disrespectful."
"Then from now on, I will call you Brother Mo, and you can just call me Mu'er." Su Mumu was in a good mood for a while.
Baili Yushu agreed readily: "Okay, Mu'er."
Forsythia and Bihe looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
If Nan Muchen found out that Su Mumu was now calling a brother to a strange man, his nose would probably be crooked with anger!
The princess's personality is really over the top, and now she is having trouble with the prince. If someone with intentions takes advantage of her, it will definitely be a huge threat to her prince.
After eating the rabbit meat, it was time to rest. Because in these barren mountains and ridges, wild beasts are most frequent at night, so we can't take it lightly. Baili Yushu discussed it with Forsythia, and the two of them took turns to keep vigil.
.
The night was extremely quiet, with only one or two insects chirping and birds chirping occasionally, and the only sound heard was the crackling of firewood.
Baili Yushu looked at Su Mumu, who was leaning against the rock wall and curled up into a ball, thoughtfully.
The firelight reflected Su Mumu's peaceful sleeping face. Baili Yushu looked at her in trance, but his thoughts had already drifted to the sky.
In my memory, a little baby with oily hair and pink face would smile sweetly to herself, hold her fingers, and babbling incomprehensible words. And that pink and tender little face, somehow, just...
It overlapped with Su Mumu's sleeping face.
One is obviously a baby, and the other is the adopted brother he just made. Is it because they have exactly the same cherry blossom-shaped birthmark on the back of their necks?
If Xuan'er has grown up, she should be as old as Mu'er, right?
This was the first time Su Mumu slept in the complete wilderness. Even though the surroundings were quiet, it was still difficult to fall asleep.
Cold wind blew in from the entrance of the cave from time to time. Although the firewood burning in the cave was very strong, being blown by the cold wind made her already tired mind even clearer.
Su Mumu frowned slightly and opened her eyes, her amber eyes shining brightly under the firelight, facing Shang Baili Yushu's slightly panicked eyes.
"You haven't slept yet?" Baili Yushu's face felt momentarily embarrassed, and he looked away awkwardly.
No matter what, it was still strange to stare at a grown man this late at night.
Su Mumu simply sat up straight and said softly: "Well, I can't sleep, Brother Mo. Can I ask you, why are you always staring at me?"
It should be said that after rescuing her from the cliff, Baili Yushu would always stare at her secretly, with probing, helpless and inexplicable sadness in his eyes. In response to that sadness, she
My mood actually became heavier as well.
"Well, it's nothing, it's just that when I see you, I always think of someone." Baili Yushu smiled bitterly, a trace of desolation and loneliness flashed in his dark eyes.
Su Mumu's heart sank for no reason. Before she could realize what kind of emotion it was, what she wanted to ask was already out of her mouth: "Is he someone important to Brother Mo?"
Baili Yushu's body froze, and he stared at the burning fire in front of him. He nodded slightly, his eyes unfocused but firm: "Yes, it is very important."
