Villain: The memory is exposed, the heroine kneels and begs for my forgiveness
Chapter 9 Cutting Meat for Food
Just as I was thinking this, the cold current in the air suddenly changed.
Jiang Zhige's expression changed drastically. He looked up at the sky and said in a trembling voice, "This is... a snowstorm?!"
Even in Yucheng, a border city that is covered with heavy snow all year round, snowstorms are extremely rare. How could he happen to meet him?
Once a blizzard comes, the snow will freeze people into ice sculptures, and they will definitely die if they stay outside.
Jiang Zhige looked around anxiously, only to find that the surrounding area was deserted and there was no place to hide.
Jiang Zhige gritted his teeth, stepped forward instead of retreating, and sped up to run forward.
It was impossible to run through the wind and snow with just the strength of his feet. He could only pray that there would be a hiding place in the snow-capped mountains not far ahead.
........
"It's true that the house leaked and it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind..."
"In such a desperate situation, even the Demon Emperor should be at the end of his rope, right?"
"There must be other changes, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see these memories."
Not only the powerful men in the palace, Qu Yun was also curious about how Jiang Zhige survived in such a desperate situation.
Taking a step back, Jiang Zhige managed to survive the wind and snow. How would he find the plum blossom tree ten miles east of the city when the temperature dropped sharply?
If we keep hiding somewhere and wait for the environment to improve, we may freeze or starve to death in less than three days.
........
After running not far, Jiang Zhige suddenly stopped with his eyes lit up when he saw that the wind and snow were about to sweep in.
"Is that...a cave?"
Jiang Zhige looked delighted and immediately rushed over with Nangong Rou on his back.
The cave should be formed naturally, and the internal space is large enough to accommodate him and Nangong Rou.
But precisely because of this, the cold wind from the outside world will continue to blow in from the entrance of the cave.
"Brother, is it going to snow heavily outside?"
"Well, let's hide here for a while."
Jiang Zhige took Nangongrou and hid behind a stone that could block the cold wind, and quickly collected everything in the cave that could be ignited.
After a while, Jiang Zhige let out a long sigh as he looked at the dozens of fuels that were only a few sticks of firewood.
Although it is said that there is no end to the road, this road is obviously not that easy to walk.
There were very few dead branches and leaves in the cave, and it was impossible for him to brave the snowstorm to go to the forest to find firewood.
If the blizzard lasts too long, the two of them will still freeze to death hiding in the cave.
Jiang Zhige shook his head. Now that the matter has come to this, he can only resign himself to fate.
He took out the flint from his arms and began to concentrate on lighting the fire.
The dead branches and leaves in the cave are very damp, so it won't work without some effort.
Next to her, Nangong Rou rubbed her belly. She looked at Jiang Zhige and opened her mouth to say something, but saw Jiang Zhige's serious expression and held back her words.
The wind and snow were howling outside the cave, and the temperature inside the cave was gradually dropping.
After half an hour, Jiang Zhige finally lit the fire, and his hands that touched the flint were already blistered.
Gululu~
Before Jiang Zhige could feel the warmth of the flames, a strange sound suddenly came from beside him.
He turned around and saw that Nangong Rou was holding her stomach with her head down, obviously very hungry.
"Rou'er, I..."
Jiang Zhige looked remorseful. He wanted to comfort Nangong Rou, but found that nothing he could say at this time was a bit weak.
If he had food for Nangong Rou, why would he wait until now?
Nangong Rou didn't speak, her head lowered and her delicate body kept trembling.
Jiang Zhige's heart sank slightly, and he quickly lowered his head to check Nangong Rou's condition, only to notice that her little face was covered with tears, and she was biting her lips to hold back her crying.
"Rou'er, are you hungry?"
"Rou, Rou'er is not hungry, Rou'er is just a little homesick, so, so..."
Big tears kept falling from Nangongrou's face. She didn't want Jiang Zhige to worry, but she cried until her breathing was not smooth.
Jiang Zhige's eyes turned red and he clenched his fists suddenly.
Seeing his sister crying from hunger, he instantly felt the urge to collapse.
At this moment, if Nangong Rou loses her temper, Jiang Zhige will feel better.
Although he has lived a difficult life since his birth, he has never complained about his life experience.
But now, Jiang Zhige hates that he is a beggar and that he can't do anything.
"Rou'er, I'm going to find something to eat. You keep an eye on the fire."
Jiang Zhige didn't say a word, got up and walked out of the cave.
"But brother, it's so snowy outside..."
Nangong Rou looked guilty. Even though her brother usually ate less than her, she was the first to cry.
If it weren't for me, my brother would definitely not go out to find food in the heavy snow.
"Don't worry Rou'er, my brother is very confident this time."
Jiang Zhige turned around and smiled, then strode out of the cave.
.........
"Confidence? You are so confident. With such heavy snow, you will have to freeze to death outside even if you can find even a piece of firewood, let alone food."
"What on earth is the Demon Emperor thinking? Does he want to die?"
Everyone in the hall was vomiting. It was impossible for a weak beggar to find food in a raging snowstorm, even if the beggar was the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige.
This is not something that can be done with a strong will, and there is no possibility at all.
"Something's wrong. Look, the Demon Emperor stopped outside the cave entrance and didn't go far."
At this moment, someone noticed that Jiang Zhige, who was in the light and shadow, had not gone far, but was sitting in the snow outside the cave.
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Qu Yun's eyes, and he said casually: "It seems that the Demon Emperor doesn't really want to take this risk, he is just trying to comfort Xiaorou."
What about the Demon Emperor? It's like he is trapped in the Zhengyang Palace now and will eventually die.
Nangong Rou did not refute or agree, she kept frowning and staring at the scene in the light and shadow.
"There is no other way. The wind and snow are howling outside the cave. Even if the Demon Emperor does find food outside, it is impossible to bring it back alive."
"Seeing his sister suffering, the Demon Emperor probably felt that it was better to show off than to do nothing."
"Wait a minute, what is the Demon Emperor trying to do? Could he be..."
.........
In the light and shadow scene, Jiang Zhige sat outside the cave and did not go far.
After enduring the cold wind and snow for a while, he dug through the snow around him and found a sharper stone.
Jiang Zhige held the stone, lifted up the hem of his left trousers, and kept looking at his calf.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and stabbed the stone towards his calf.
The severe pain made Jiang Zhige's face turn blue and white, but in order not to let Nangong Rou in the cave notice, he resisted and did not scream.
Jiang Zhige gritted his teeth and held the rough stone to cut open his calf bit by bit.
Although the stone was sharp, it was not sharp. It took half a quarter of an hour before he successfully cut out a piece of leg meat the size of a palm.
Jiang Zhige's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he raised his head and gasped for air.
After waiting for a while, he looked at the bloody leg meat.
"Rou'er, I'm sorry, brother is too thin..."
