Blessed Daughter

Chapter 404: Rescued by Wei Ruo in the Snowstorm

Lu Yuhong was the first to ask, "Miss Wei, why are you here?"

"I came back from the wasteland and caught up with the heavy snow. It was too dangerous to continue on the road, so I rested where I was." Wei Ruo replied.

Lu Yuhong asked again: "Are you planning to set up camp here?"

"Yes, the wind and snow are heavy, and the road is dangerous and unpredictable. The terrain here is open, and there is no risk of avalanches. If you stay where you are resting, as long as you keep warm, you will not be in danger." Wei Ruo analyzed.

This is indeed the case, and all six of them showed signs of agreement.

It's just that the premise of doing so is that you have enough supplies on your body.

Just like the few of them...

Wei Ruo asked, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Wangyuan, who was beside Lu Yuhong, replied on behalf of several people: "We started down the mountain when it just snowed in the morning. At that time, we didn't expect the snow to fall so heavily. We thought it would be very easy to go down the mountain to the stable at the foot of the mountain to retrieve the horses and ride them. I will be able to enter the city soon. I never thought that when I was at the foot of the mountain, the snow was already very thick, and it would be more dangerous to go up the mountain again, so I decided to go back to the city on horseback. I didn’t expect that it would be impossible to move forward after halfway through.”

Yuan Wangyuan showed embarrassment when he spoke.

Wei Ruo was keenly aware of the embarrassment of the few people. Not only were they wearing thin clothes in such heavy snow, but they only had a few horses beside them, and they probably didn't bring any food.

So Wei Ruo took the initiative to say: "If you don't dislike it, you can rest in my shed for a while and warm up by the fire."

Wei Ruo took the initiative to invite, saving several people from the embarrassment of opening their mouths.

"Is it possible?" Liu Yu asked with some surprise.

"Of course it's possible." Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong smiled and said, "Liu Yu, what are you talking about? Brother Yichen is here. They are brothers and sisters of the same blood. What are you afraid of with him around?"

Liu Yu smiled: "It's true that Brother Yichen is here, but we are not related to Miss Wei, so we are very grateful to be taken in by Miss Wei."

"You're right in saying that!"

As Lu Yuhong said, he took off the jade pendant around his waist, and wanted to give it to Wei Ruo as a thank you gift.

Wei Ruo naturally didn't dare to accept it.

Wei Yichen stopped Lu Yuhong: "Brother Lu, whether a man or a woman can kiss each other."

Lu Yuhong was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was very impolite for a man to give his jade pendant to a woman.

So he smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry Miss Wei, I didn't mean to be frivolous, but I didn't think about it so much for a while, so I just wanted to express my gratitude."

Wei Ruo knew Lu Yuhong's thick-headed character, so he wouldn't argue with him.

"Mr. Lu, you are welcome. Find a place to sit first. Meimei and I will cook a pot of broth. Let's drink some soup to warm up."

After explaining to several people, Wei Ruo went back to the carriage to get things.

After Wei Ruo got into the carriage, Yuan Wangyuan patted the shoulder of Xu Fengyuan who was silent the whole time with a smile on his face: "Brother Xu, if you have something to say, you need to say it, don't bore yourself to death."

"I have nothing to say." Xu Fengyuan said.

"Brother Xu, you can deceive people with your mouth, but you can't deceive people with the way you looked at the eldest girl of the Wei family just now." Yuan Wangyuan broke through.

"Brother Yuan, I'll find a few stones to serve as seats, and you will set up our horses."

Xu Fengyuan changed the topic, then handed the reins of his mount to Yuan Wangyuan, and then walked away.

Yuan Wangyuan shook his head helplessly with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Wei Yichen who was also silent.

It's strange to say that it is understandable for Xu Fengyuan to talk less when he saw the eldest girl of the Wei family. Why is Wei Yichen also silent?

Even though they are brothers and sisters, they don't seem to be very familiar with each other. Wei Yichen and Miss Wei are not as familiar as Lu Yuhong.

Not long after, Xu Fengyuan moved stones, and horses were placed around the shed.

After everyone sat on the stones and roasted for a while, a tempting aroma wafted from the steaming pot.

Lu Yuhong was the first one who couldn't hold back any longer. While sniffing the smell of food, he asked Wei Ruo who just got off the carriage:

"Big girl, what are you cooking in this pot? Why is it so fragrant?"

"Mutton soup, it's cold, you can drink mutton soup to keep warm." Wei Ruo replied.

"It smells so good! My stomach is growling." Lu Yuhong said.

"That must be because Mr. Lu, you are hungry." Wei Ruo said.

"It's true that I'm hungry. We haven't eaten anything since morning, but it's true that your broth is delicious." Lu Yuhong commented.

Yuan Wangyuan on the side joked, "Young Master Lu, don't be tempted to steal it."

Lu Yuhong said unhappily: "You can rest assured, I will never move until the big girl says it's ready to eat. It is disrespectful to the food to touch the chopsticks before the food is cooked."

Wei Ruo smiled, and handed a cloth bag from the car to Lu Yuhong.

"Bake this on the brazier to warm it up, and eat it with mutton soup in a while," Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong opened the cloth bag, and saw that it was full of bread that was bigger than their faces.

Several people took one without hesitation.

While they were warming up by the fire, Xiumei took out some cloaks and blankets and distributed them to them.

"Although these cloaks are women's styles, they are all new and have never been worn by anyone. If you gentlemen don't mind, you can wear them to keep you warm." Wei Ruo added.

A few people were not polite or hesitant, and each of them took one and wrapped it around their bodies.

Compared with etiquette and face, life is more important.

With cloaks and blankets to keep out the cold, and a brazier to keep warm, the six of them felt a lot warmer.

After a while, the mutton soup was ready, and Wei Ruo filled a bowl of soup for everyone, and put two large pieces of mutton in each bowl.

Seeing the bowls and chopsticks that Wei Ruoxin took out, Lu Yuhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Miss, you have a complete set of things in this car."

"I often go out to open up wasteland, where there is a shortage of supplies, so I am used to bringing more complete." Wei Ruo explained.

In fact, these things are not all carried on the carriage, no matter how big the carriage is, the space is limited, and it is impossible to carry such a complete set of things.

Especially something that is not easy to preserve like mutton, it will go bad within a few days after being put on the carriage.

"Miss has the foresight! Today, thanks to Miss, we can keep warm from the cold." Yuan Wangyuan said.

Wei Ruo smiled: "Drink it while it's hot."

A few people were not polite, and drank while it was hot.

I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry, or the mutton soup cooked by Wei Ruo is more delicious than other places, and the faces of several people showed amazed and satisfied expressions.

"Miss, your mutton soup is so delicious. This is the best mutton soup I've ever tasted! And this cake is more fragrant than other cakes!" Lu Yuhong exclaimed.
