Chapter 41 Chen Feng
Chapter 41 Chen Feng
Lin Yan felt that this place was not suitable for her to stay any longer, so she stopped eating the pancake and headed back. Along the way, she found several search teams on the mountain.
Lin Yan avoided them and quickly walked back. When she crossed a mountain, there was no trace of the army.
No longer needing to evade pursuers, Lin Yan slowed her pace and strolled along for a while before realizing she was getting hungry. She found a rock to sit on and took out the half-eaten wrap from her storage space to continue eating.
The still-warm pancakes with braised chicken drumsticks were very satisfying and filling.
Lin Yan was eating when she heard a soft "glug" sound behind her. Her eyes snapped open, and she focused her attention on her ear, but didn't turn around.
There were birds chirping and insects buzzing in the woods, the sound of her chewing, and... the sound of someone swallowing.
Link your supernatural abilities to the surrounding plants.
A man dressed in a dark blue fitted casual suit was hiding in a tree. His breathing was very weak. Lin Yan didn't notice him at all when she passed by, so he must be a trained martial artist.
"Could this be Chen Feng?!"
Lin Yan chuckled silently, inwardly marveling at her luck. The two unexpected events seemed to be part of a drama. She pretended not to notice and continued eating the pancake in her hand.
Not far away, Chen Feng had been crouching in a tree for a while. He had originally intended to rest under the tree, but when he noticed the movement of people, he thought they were pursuers, so he jumped up the tree to hide.
As it turned out, a little girl came over. He was puzzled. Where did this little girl come from in the deep mountains and forests? She couldn't be a pursuer, could she? Seeing that she was wearing simple linen clothes and carrying a basket on her back, he figured she might be someone from a nearby village who had come up the mountain to pick mushrooms or something. He decided to wait for her to leave before going down.
Chen Feng, acting on behalf of the Crown Prince, traveled from Ding'an County, which borders Daye, to the garrison. He only ate in the county town and then continued his journey. He hadn't eaten for a day and a half, and the conflict at the military camp, along with his constant evasion of pursuit, had taken a toll on his health, leaving him extremely hungry.
I could have tolerated it, but then that girl actually sat down and started eating. Seeing the pancake in her hand with meat in amber sauce, and how much she was enjoying it, my stomach still growled loudly on its own.
He twitched his eyebrows violently, almost wanting to snatch her away, but it was really inappropriate, so he could only restrain himself and pray that she would leave quickly.
He still had to go back and report to His Highness the Crown Prince. That damned Commander Yun'an completely ignored His Highness the Crown Prince's intentions. He wanted to kill him so badly that he had probably already contacted Xiao Pingkai. He deserved to die; he shouldn't have come looking for him.
Yejing City is probably not safe either. The Crown Prince only has Chen Shuo by his side, so I need to go back quickly.
Thinking this, Chen Feng leaned against a tree, watching Lin Yan eat her pancake, his mind a jumble of thoughts. "Why hasn't she finished eating yet?! I'm so hungry. I'll catch a rabbit and roast it later! The city gates will probably be under defense, so I'll have to take the mountain path back!"
Suddenly, he saw a red ringed snake appear in the grass behind the little girl. He sat up straight and reached for the dagger at his waist.
Upon seeing the venomous snake raise its forelegs, he made his move, throwing a dagger at the ground.
Lin Yan had actually noticed the snake, but she didn't think it was going to attack her. Because her wood-type ability made her aura similar to that of plants, animals were often friendly to her after her ability was restored. So she didn't move for a moment and wanted to see what it was up to.
As a result, the snake was sliced in half by a dagger. Lin Yan blinked, indicating that she was also quite surprised, not expecting the one hiding to show itself and save people.
Lin Yan finished the pancake in her hand in a few bites, then got up and picked up the dagger.
The snake, cut in two, was still wriggling on the ground. She couldn't communicate with animals, so she really didn't know what it had come here for. Lin Yan said calmly, "It's okay, you'll still be a good snake in your next life."
Holding the dagger, she said, "Now you can't pretend you didn't see it, can you? Tsk."
Chen Feng only saw the little girl get up, pick up the dagger, mutter something, and then raise her voice to say, "Thank you for saving me, chivalrous man! I have nothing of value and don't know how to thank you."
After Lin Yan finished speaking, she waited for a while, and seeing that he showed no sign of coming out, she said again, "This place is dangerous, so I'll be going now! Goodbye, hero!"
After saying that, she turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a man in dark blue clothes. Upon closer inspection, Lin Yan realized that he really did look different from the people of Daliang; he had high brow bones, deep-set eyes, and more defined features.
"Are you the one who threw the dagger?"
Chen Feng stood ramrod straight and nodded.
Lin Yan looked at him, wondering what he meant by suddenly standing up, and didn't say anything.
Chen Feng looked somewhat embarrassed, and moved his lips, "Do you... have any more food? Like what you were eating!"
Lin Yan blinked, pursed her lips, and almost burst out laughing. "Yes, I'll get it for you!"
She reached into the basket, pretending to take something, and pulled out a tortilla to give to him.
Chen Feng's eyes lit up as he took the bag, but his expression suddenly changed. He realized it was still hot, but the nearest village was over a mountain, so how could it still be this hot?
Chen Feng didn't look up, and casually asked, "Do you live nearby?"
"Me? I live in a nearby village." Lin Yan noticed his expression change slightly and knew he had noticed the unusual temperature of the pancake. She added, "I just heated this pancake over a fire. Eat it while it's hot! It's really delicious."
"Heating? How can you heat it up in the mountains?" Chen Feng was clearly still a bit skeptical.
"Use this!" Lin Yan reached into the basket and took out an iron pot from her spatial storage.
Chen Feng: "…………"
"You even brought a pot up the mountain!"
"I love it hot!"
Chen Feng saw that the iron pot was a bit messy, but that dispelled his doubts. He started eating the flatbread, which was crispy and soft, with savory meat. After taking a bite, he was so satisfied that he almost cried. As he ate, he asked, "What are you doing up the mountain?"
"Picking mushrooms!" But they were big mushrooms.
Are you alone? There are still quite a few wild animals in these mountains!
"I run fast, I'm fine!" Lin Yan said with a grin.
Chen Feng: "…………"
What are you doing up the mountain?
"Uh, I came up the mountain to hunt!"
"Oh, hunting? I think you look a little strange?"
"Well, my father was from Daye."
"Wow, I've never seen a person from Da Ye before. So this is what they look like!"
Chen Feng sighed, "It's not that much different..."
Chen Feng felt that something about this girl was a bit unreasonable. "How about I take you down the mountain later? It's not safe for a little girl like you to be in the mountains. Look, if I hadn't been here, that poisonous snake would have almost bitten you!"
Lin Yan smirked, thinking: It can't bite me even without you. I think you just want to freeload!
She shook her head and said, "Ah! It's alright, you don't need to worry about me! I often walk on mountain paths."
Chen Feng ate quickly, his hand already full of biscuits. "Are you sure you don't need any?"
"No, are you full? Do you want more?"
"Is there...is there more?" Chen Feng blushed slightly.
Lin Yan: "…………" I see you really are just trying to freeload!
Lin Yan took out the last wrap. "I have one more. Here, take it. Thank you for saving me earlier. I have to go home now!"
Chen Feng wanted to say something, but Lin Yan waved her hand and left, thinking: What a joke, you're taking me home and seeing me climb two mountains, aren't you just asking for trouble!
