Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 8 Catch That Chicken Quickly
Shen Yuexi carried the bucket into the cave, and said as she walked, "Husband, I'm lucky today. I picked up a bucket by the stream."

Xiao Zhuo was adding firewood to the fire, when she heard the sound, she turned her face, raised her eyebrows, and glanced at her face.

Of course Shen Yuexi knew what he was looking at.I have been dirty all the way, now that I have washed it clean, revealing my original skin color, it is naturally like a different person.

The original owner was born a great beauty, although her body was a little thinner, it didn't affect her magnificence at all.Although she was tortured in exile, her beauty was never damaged.

In this era of blind marriages, it is estimated that this is also the first time Xiao Zhuo saw her appearance clearly.

She put the bucket beside the fire as if nothing had happened, sat down beside Xiao Zhuo generously, smiled brightly at him, stretched out her cold hands and rubbed them in front of the fire, feeling the rare warmth.

Ever since she crossed over, she has been neither human nor ghost, like a stray dog. Until this moment, she felt that her suffering body and mind had been healed.

Although it was a cold shower, it felt so comfortable to wash off all the dirt.

While enjoying it, suddenly there was an aroma in his nose, like burnt soil, but it also had the unique aroma of food.

She turned her head and saw that Xiao Zhuo was holding up a steaming soil ball that was blackened by smoke.

What is this?
She just raised a question mark, Xiao Zhuo had already thrown the soil ball to her: "Here."

"Wow! It's so hot!"

Shen Yuexi continued subconsciously, and felt it was very hot when she first touched it.She threw her hands out violently, the soil ball slammed on the ground and cracked, and a burst of fragrant hot air gushed out from the cracked gap.

Xiao Zhuo picked up the things that fell on the ground, put them on a few leaves and said, "Holding the leaves with your hands won't burn you."

"What is it?" Holding the soil ball, she carefully opened the steaming soil shell with a knife, and saw that there was a layer of brown shell under the soil shell, which had been broken, revealing the tender white egg white inside.

It's a mountain egg.

With a smile on her face, she hurriedly tapped the soil shell covering the eggs with the back of the knife, smashing the soil shells one after another.

Whether a thing is good or not depends on what it is compared with.

Compared with the muddy, cold and hard steamed buns, the eggs are definitely a gluttonous meal.

Xiao Zhuo turned around and pulled out a hot pheasant egg from the charcoal pile beside him.

"It's delicious," she took a hard bite, raised her thumbs up and exclaimed, "I never thought you would do such a thing as a prince."

If it wasn't for most of the eggshells and soil shells stuck together, she would literally eat the eggshells too.

Pure natural, pollution-free, the most delicious in the world.

The two ate a delicious meal of baked eggs, both felt exhausted, and fell asleep on the thatched bed.

Dimly, Shen Yuexi heard faint footsteps.

Did Xiao Zhuo wake up?
She opened her sleepy eyes, glanced across the cave, over the smoldering fire, and noticed the light penetrating through the entrance of the cave, which was sunlight.

It felt like I just closed my eyes for a moment, when it was already bright outside.

Xiao Zhuo was beside her, had already got up, and was looking at the top of the cave.Seeing her wake up, she immediately lowered her head, put her finger to her lips, and made a silent gesture.

Seeing Xiao Zhuo's nervous expression, Shen Yuexi suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and gently squeezed Xiao Yao's hand to show that she already knew about it.

The voice of a man with an irritable tone came from the top of the cave, although separated by rocks, he could hear it clearly.

"Have you not found the whereabouts of the deposed prince?"

Shen Yuexi was startled, it turned out that those pursuers hadn't left at all, they just waited until dawn because it was inconvenient to search because of the rainy night.

Thinking that she almost yelled just now, she was afraid for a while.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo was vigilant enough. If he ran away, he really didn't know if he would be able to successfully escape from these people's pursuit.

At this time, another somewhat reserved man's voice sounded: "My lord, they are in this woods anyway, and my subordinates promise that they will never leave..."

"Don't swear here, let them find it quickly. If the deposed prince is allowed to escape, we won't be able to afford it."

Shen Yuexi sat up gently, looking at Xiao Zhuo nervously.

Unexpectedly, the enemy is outside the cave, above their heads, what should we do now?
Xiao Zhuo noticed her nervousness, held her slender hand, and motioned her to go with him.

Before he could move, another voice came from above his head.

This time it was the beginning of the cautious voice: "My lord, the abolished prince is His Majesty's own son after all, why does His Majesty act like this? The exile of the abolished prince is not enough..."

"Shut up," an irritable voice scolded, "You and I are free to speculate on His Majesty's holy will. We are only following the order. As long as we see the deposed prince and concubine, we will kill them."

"Yes, yes," replied the stiff voice.

Don't talk about killing.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was really cruel and merciless, and the exile was not enough. He actually sent people to hunt and kill the prince, even she would not be spared.

Shen Yuexi held Xiao Zhuo's hand tightly, and looked worriedly at the arrow wound on his right shoulder.

Although the arrow has been pulled out and the bleeding has stopped, the wound is still there after all.If the enemy found them, how could Xiao Zhuo fight alone.

Xiao Zhuo held her hand tightly, held the steel knife in his right hand, and moved slowly along the cave wall towards the cave entrance.

An irritable voice said: "I'll go over there to have a look, the two of you are searching around here. Remember, once you find the deposed prince, don't fight him, and call the police immediately."

After all, the sound of footsteps came from above his head, and gradually went away.

Shen Yuexi felt a little pain in her head.

This is troublesome, given Xiao Zhuo's current situation, even if he could kill one, he might not be able to stop the other from shouting.

There are many enemies, one of them is weak and the other is seriously injured.

She looked at Xiao Zhuo, and saw Xiao Zhuo frowned, with a serious expression on his face, holding the steel knife tightly, vigilant about every move outside.

It seems that as long as the other party makes a mistake, it will be settled immediately.

The cautious voice above said: "When we two get down from this hill, you can go to the stream and have a look. I'll search the grass nearby."

"Yes." Another voice said.

Shen Yuexi followed Xiao Zhuo to the entrance of the cave quietly, she looked out over Xiao Zhuo's shoulder.

Through the thick grass, one can vaguely see a man in black, with his back facing the cave, casually poking the grass with a steel knife.The other was a few meters ahead of him, walking towards the pool where she bathed.

This cave is hidden behind the dense grass, and it is difficult for ordinary people to notice it if they don't take a closer look.

Shen Yuexi stared closely at the man in black, folded her hands and prayed in her heart: Don't look here.

I don't know if it was because she prayed too much or because she was lucky, the man in black glanced casually in the grass, put the knife back into its sheath, and said to the people in front, "Hey, wait for me."

Shen Yuexi was overjoyed, this way, she could sneak out with Xiao Zhuo, and would not be intercepted and killed in this small cave.

Xiao Zhuo obviously also knew that the opportunity had come, he was half kneeling on the ground, and was getting up slowly.

At this moment, there was a sudden cry, and a pheasant with bright feathers jumped up from the grass as high as a person, and flew into the cave where Shen Yuexi and Xiao Zhuo were.

"Grab that chicken!"

The man in black cried out in surprise and turned his head.
