When Huan Rongxing went to collect firewood, Mo Shixi was not idle either.
Or refill the water bag after drinking it, sprinkle mosquito repellent herbal powder on the place where they rest temporarily, and explore the surrounding environment.
She has been in the mountains a lot, and she knows almost all the fruit trees nearby.
Seeing that the lunch he brought was too monotonous, Mo Shixi walked up the mountain stream and found a fruit tree with fruits hanging on its branches.
Ripe reds and immature oranges and greens are dotted among the emerald branches, like full and colorful gems, so beautiful that it is fascinating.
Mo Shixi stepped forward and carefully identified them. After confirming that they were edible, she picked a lot before returning.
Just after cleaning the red and orange "jewels" she had picked, she saw the firewood collector coming back.
Mo Shixi happily invited him to come over and enjoy the wild fruits together, then she discovered a furry prey in the man's hand.
"Yeah, it's a hare."
Huan Rongxing's left hand was a small bundle of dead branches tied with vines, and his right hand was holding a hare. With a calm expression and brisk steps, he walked to Mo Shixi's side.
"When I was collecting firewood, I happened to see it being restrained by the roots of weeds and moving around in a daze, so I knocked it out with a stone and brought it back."
Having said this, he grabbed the hare's ears and lifted it up, exposing the hare legs.
Indeed, the fur on one rabbit's leg was dyed green by grass juice, and the fur in that area was also messy, as if it had been freed from bondage.
"That's it. What about this hare? I don't know how to cook it. The dish is too complicated."
Mo Shixi easily believed Huan Rongxing's words about catching the hare easily. She grabbed a braid hanging down to her chest and wondered where the hare was.
"Don't worry, I'll do it. Shi Xi is just waiting to taste my cooking skills."
Huan Rongxing relaxed his tense breath slightly, his eyes darkened, and he handled the hare aside.
With the help of memory, he handled the hare with ease.
Use a sharp knife to disembowel the hare, clean it, insert wooden sticks, and then place it on the set firewood to roast slowly over low heat.
The eager orange-red fire danced in their eyes. Huan Rongxing took a handful of washed wild fruits from Mo Shixi and sipped the juice, pretending to ask casually.
"Shi Xi, do you like Jianghu Knights very much?"
"I like it very much. Being a chivalrous person and traveling to the ends of the earth to do justice, I can not only punish evil and promote good, but I can also see the beautiful scenery of mountains, rivers and lakes all over the world. It feels so satisfying just thinking about it."
Huan Rongxing's brows were filled with joy, and his voice rose slightly.
"Then if, I mean if, I was really a knight, would you like to walk out of the forest with me and see the scenery outside."
"Brother Axing, have you recovered your previous memories?"
Mo Shixi keenly grasped the key points.
Facing her soft gaze, Huan Rongxing almost wanted to nod in response.
Before he could explain himself, Mo Shixi seemed to have fallen into a strange contemplation. She held her small chin in her hands and said in a dull voice:
"Although I want to go out for a walk, I can't go out for too long. This is the place where my mother-in-law sleeps, and it also stores my memories from childhood. I will long for the outside world, but I can't let go of the only place I consider home. .”
"If, I mean, if Brother Asing was a knight in the past and needed to travel all the time, I would leave the hut for a month, two months, or at most three months to accompany Brother Asing, but I would always have to come back here."
"My mother-in-law will be scared if she is alone for a long time."
In her eyes, there is curiosity and yearning for the bizarre outside world, but when she mentions the hut in the mountains, she feels deep attachment and dependence.
There was no way, even with him, he could have changed her mind.
At no time did Huan Rongxing realize more clearly than now: Shi Xi was not only gentle and considerate like a weak appearance, but also had a stubbornness hidden deep in her heart.
Everything he originally wanted to tell her was swallowed into the bitter throat of the man.
Huan Rongxing did exactly what he said to test Mo Shixi.
He regained his memory when he was hunting rabbits. When he threw stones, it was a trigger, and countless scenes flooded into his mind.
After catching the rabbit, he didn't rush back. He leaned against a large tree and sorted out the pictures. Within a moment, all the memories stayed in his mind.
It turned out that he was the youngest son of a city guard. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He had his own ideas since he was a child. He left a letter and wandered around the world when he was young.
The journey along the way was very consistent with the life in the arena that he had in mind, with swords and swords and shadows, and three or two friends. Because of his hatred of evil and his excellent martial arts, he also gained a certain reputation in the arena.
This reputation also brought him some enemies. He accidentally fell off the cliff because he and his friends punished corrupt officials and were chased by the remaining forces.
If he had not met Shi Xi and had two older brothers at home, he would not have been able to get married, have children, and continue his family life. He should have continued to wander around the world, make friends, and live a free and unrestrained life.
This kind of life should be what he wants.
But it wasn't what Shi Xi wanted.
Huan Rongxing stared at the hare roasting on the fire, and his heart seemed to be burned by a blazing fire.
He understood Mo Shixi's answer, and the surprise was expected.
He seemed to have had a premonition, so he packaged the easy act of catching a hare as a coincidence.
"Brother Axing, have you recovered your memory?"
After Mo Shixi finished her answer, she seemed to remember the previous topic and looked at him with concern.
"I have an impression that I practiced martial arts in a big yard when I was a child, but I don't have much memory when I grow up."
Huan Rongxing concealed some of the facts.
Mo Shixi seemed to understand him very well and nodded in agreement with his previous guess.
"That's it. No wonder you think that you will travel around the world later. If you are really a knight, I..."
"The hare is almost ripe, Shi Xi. You bring some fruit over, and I'll squeeze some juice and pour it on top. Not only will the rabbit meat not be greasy when you eat it later, but it also has the fragrance of fruit, so it's delicious."
Huan Rongxing interrupted her, as if he was afraid that she would say something he didn't want to hear, such as "separation". He hurriedly assigned some tasks and changed the attention of the little girl who looked a little melancholy.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, the melancholy in Mo Shixi's eyes disappeared instantly, and she stuffed all the fruits in her hand.
After that, those moist eyes stared at the honey-colored roasted rabbit without blinking, and secretly swallowed the greedy food in his throat.
Huan Rongxing's heartbeat gradually returned to calmness, and he caught a glimpse of Mo Shixi's eyes looking like a greedy civet cat, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile pursed his lips.
As for the memory or the past, the justice knight who has always been upright has developed the most disdainful mentality of "every day he can hide is a day".
It would be best to hide for one more day.
It's a pity that God always doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
