The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 109 Li Ling teases his wife

After leaving the pass, the scenery no longer resembles that of the capital. The cities are deserted, the deserted villages are dilapidated, and from time to time you can see beggars living outside.

Not only was the road difficult to navigate, but the distance between the city walls was also getting farther and farther. On this day, I couldn't get to the inn before dark.

It was difficult to travel in the wild, and ferocious beasts often appeared, so Li Ling ordered to camp on the spot for the night.

It was dusk, the vast sky was dotted with stars, and bonfires were burning in the dark wilderness. After a while, the faint smell of cooked food wafted out of the iron pot that was set up.

The carriage and horse that Jing Shu was riding in were still waiting far away from the team. Li Ling personally brought dry wood and lit a bonfire beside the carriage and horse, and then helped Jing Shu out of the carriage.

Even on such a dark and midwinter night, just lighting a bonfire can drive away the darkness and cold.

Ziyun took a thick felt from the car and spread it beside the campfire. He also spread a thick cotton mat on the felt before letting Jingshu sit down.

Li Ling brought his horse over and tied it to the campfire. He took an oil paper bag from the saddle and walked to sit next to Jing Shu.

Jing Shu curiously stared at the thing in Li Ling's hand and asked, "What is this?"

Li Ling unwrapped the oil paper bag in his hand and replied: "raw meat."

Jing Shu was surprised and said: "Even in this wilderness, you wouldn't eat this, right? Where did you get it from?"

Li Ling raised his eyes and looked at his wife and replied: "Isn't this what people in the wilderness have to eat?" After saying that, he waved the bloody raw meat in front of Jing Shu's eyes and bluffed her with a half-smile:

"Who asked you to follow me out? You have to eat this today, and you can't do it if you don't."

Jing Shu quickly covered her nose and said disgustedly: "You can eat it yourself if you want to. I have some snacks in the car and I can't eat this stuff."

Li Ling took out the dagger from his waist, cut the meat piece by piece with oil paper, put it on the fire with wet branches, glanced at his wife and said: "It will be roasted in a while, don't be greedy."

Jing Shu glanced at the bloody meat and the dark branches and said with disgust: "It's so dirty."

After a while, the aroma of barbecued meat filled the air. Li Ling kept rolling the branches in his hands until the meat was roasted golden, then he took it off and used a dagger to cut off the blackened areas.

He cut the barbecue into pieces on clean oil paper, then took out the salt and pepper seasoning and sprinkled it on the meat. He tasted a piece and praised: "It tastes good."

Li Ling brought the barbecue to his wife and said, "Eat it, it smells great."

A strong aroma of meat hit her face, and it smelled really good. Jingshu hesitated and pinched out a small piece with her hands and put it in her mouth.

Li Ling smiled and asked: "How?"

Jingshu chewed the meat and nodded: "It's okay."

As she spoke, she picked out another piece, put it in her mouth, and asked Li Ling, "What kind of meat is this?"

Li Ling replied: "Venison."

Jingshu chewed it carefully and asked, "Where did you get it? Did the soldiers hunt it on the way?"

Li Ling replied: "I'm so busy on the road that I don't have time to hunt."

Jingshu asked: "Then where does this meat come from?"

Li Ling replied without changing his expression: "Cut it from a deer that was killed by a wild beast on the roadside."

Jingshu quickly spat out the meat that she had not yet swallowed, and asked in surprise: "Is that the dead deer that I saw when I passed by the foot of the mountain just now?"

Li Ling chewed the meat in his mouth and said calmly: "Yes, it was cut from the dead deer that was bitten and mutilated by the wild beasts. The dead deer had been almost eaten by the wild beasts. I spent a lot of effort to get it." Find this small piece and cut it off."

"You" Jing Shu glared at Li Ling angrily, but before she could even say the curse words, she felt sick.

Li Ling hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back while laughing and saying, "I just lied to you. This piece of meat was the beef I asked them to beg from the kitchen when I came out of the inn."

Jing Shu glared at Li Ling angrily: "Tell me the truth and don't lie to me."

Li Ling suppressed a smile and said, "I really got it from the inn." As he said that, he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth: "This is the best beef shank."

Jingshu had already eaten a mouthful of meat. She was afraid that Li Ling would deceive him, so she still asked uneasily: "Why did you take this raw meat from the post house for no reason?"

Li Ling glanced at his angry young wife and explained: "It's a long way from the post house to Pucheng in front, so I thought I wouldn't be able to reach Pucheng tonight, so I brought a piece of raw meat from the post house. To bake it for you to eat that night."

Jing Shu angrily pinched Li Ling's ears and said angrily: "I asked you to trick me! I asked you to trick me!"

Li Ling was knocked down by his wife, rolled on the felt, covered his ears and begged for mercy: "Please be gentle, oh! Are you going to murder your husband?"

Jingshu punished Li Ling severely before stopping. She pointed at Li Ling and warned: "If you dare to make fun of me again in the future, see how I deal with you."

Li Ling stood up, took his wife in his arms, and replied: "I saw that you were bored during the journey, so I came to tease you."

Jingshu pulled his hand away: "Do you have a way to tease me?" After saying that, she got up angrily and left.

Li Ling quickly got up and caught up with his wife: "In the wilderness, where are you going?"

Jingshu said angrily: "I don't want you to worry about it."

Li Ling said: "There are wild beasts around here, how dare you run around."

As soon as he finished speaking, several lone wolves seemed to have overheard his words and howled in cooperation.

Jingshu calmed down, but she still stood there, turning her head to vent her anger with Li Ling.

Li Ling looked back and saw that there was no one around, so he walked around to her, bowed to his wife and said, "My husband made a mistake."

Jingshu turned around again, still refusing to pay attention to him.

Li Ling then walked around to her again, bowed and said, "My husband made a mistake. I will never tease my wife again."

After doing this again and again, Jingshu finally calmed down, glanced at her husband, said "Pfft", and laughed.

In the dark wilderness, no one else can see coming here anyway.

Li Ling bent down and carried his wife back to the campfire, and offered the roasted meat to her again: "This is really the best beef shank that my husband specially brought from the post house for my wife. I cooked it with my own hands, just for my wife to try it."

Jing Shu gave him a look: "My mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Li Ling picked a piece and put it into his wife's mouth: "How can I not learn to be sweeter after marrying such a lovely wife?"

After dinner, Li Ling helped Jingshu get into the car, and then he followed her into the car with a long step.

In the past few days since they came out, Li Ling got into the car for the first time. Jing Shu glanced at her and said, "I thought you were going to sleep in the tent with your soldiers tonight."

Li Ling replied: "How can I rest assured if you are left alone in the car in the wilderness? If you are snatched away by a wolf, where will I find a wife?"

The wolf in the wild seemed to have a close connection with Li Ling. As soon as Li Ling said this, another wolf howl was heard.

Jingshu quickly hid in Li Ling's arms: "Stop talking nonsense."

Li Ling patted his wife and said comfortingly: "It's okay. The moon is full tonight, so there are wolves howling. If you hear the sound, you won't be nearby. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Jing Shu was dubious: "Do you still have this ability? Can you tell how far away they are?"

Li Ling replied: "When marching and fighting, we often sleep in the wilderness. A husband still has this ability." After that, she hugged her wife and continued to comfort her: "Don't worry, there is a bonfire outside, and the wild animals dare not approach."

Seeing that his wife still had a timid look on her face, he continued: "Besides, your husband, I am a general who can evade the enemy at any time. Even if a wolf, tiger or leopard comes over, I will kill it with an arrow and stop it from coming."

Return."

"I'll hunt it and grill it for you tomorrow morning."

Jingshu smiled, looked up at her husband and said, "I'm not afraid. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."
