Chapter 2355: The Arrival Of Di Fuyi
The donkey hunted very quickly. After an hour, it already raced back to the two of them. There was a pheasant and a black sheep in its mouth, and even a rabbit on its back. It proudly placed its prey beside Gu Xijiu. Its big eyes with double eyelids blinked as if asking for praise.
Gu Xijiu patted its cheek. "You are so handsome!"
The handsome donkey became even more proud now. He glanced at Zhu Duqing and went to the side to eat grass. Zhu Duqing felt some resentment toward the donkey. If he knew that hunting for meat was a good way to get praised by Gu Xijiu, he would have gone instead.
Gu Xijiu had begun preparing to cook. Zhu Duqing volunteered to help, "I’ll be your assistant."
He helped to cut the prey, remove their hair, and start a fire, among other things. There were two people and a donkey present, but this donkey ate grass. Hence, they would not be able to eat so much, so they only barbecued the bird and the rabbit, and put the black sheep into a storage bag. In another 200 miles, they would enter the poisonous swamp. The living environment was bad there. All animals were highly toxic and could not be eaten. This sheep could be kept for when they are there.
It was now already night. The round moon in the sky was hanging up brightly. From time to time, all kinds of beasts’ roars and growls were heard. It made people feel scared to be there. Fortunately for them, Gu Xijiu put an enchanted array in the vicinity. On top of that, there was also a fire nearby. Those beasts were usually put off by the fire and would not come near.
Gu Xijiu sat there, slowly grilling the meat. The red bonfire reflected on her cheek, which made it seem as though she was blushing. Zhu Duqing was sitting there, smelling the aroma. He seemed to be drunk. A couple roasting meat under the moonlight while a donkey was eating the grass next to them. This scene was actually quite beautiful.
Gu Xijiu turned over the prey every now and then, but her mind was clearly somewhere else. She suddenly thought of Di Fuyi. It seemed that he also liked to eat her roasted food, but unfortunately, they had minimal time together, and the chances of being able to have a quiet barbecue together were lacking. If he were here today...
