At this time, the aroma of rice porridge wafted from outside the cave. Wang Shiba looked outside the cave and asked, "Little brother, we are ready to eat. Do you want to go out with me?"

I nodded, got up obediently, and followed him out of the cave. Xiangliu stayed where he was and did not come out with us.

There were a few tents scattered outside the cave, with a fire burning in the middle. A pot was placed on the fire, bubbling with the aroma of rice porridge.

The soldiers sat in groups around the fire, holding steamed buns in their left hands and bowls in their right hands, sipping porridge. When Wang Shiba and I approached, the soldier closest to us quickly served us two bowls.

I took the bowl, sat down and took a sip. The heat flowed down to my stomach, and I felt soothed and comfortable. A thin man next to me raised his head and asked, "Ten Turtle Bastards, who is this?"

Wang Shiba said “Pah” and cursed: “If you call me that nickname again, be careful or I’ll hit you with my iron fist!”

The thin man shrank his head and said with a grin, "I'm just kidding you!"

A fat man nearby patted him on the head and said, "Eating can't stop your mouth?!"

The thin man slurped his porridge and said nothing.

The fat man asked Wang Shiba: "Is this the one our boss picked up?"

Wang Shiba replied, "Yes, he woke up today, let's take him out to get some fresh air."

The thin man muttered softly: "I don't know whether he is a human or a monster. He is not of my kind, so his heart must be different..."

Wang Shiba put the bowl on the stone, his eyebrows raised, "This is my little brother! Whoever is rude to him is rude to me! A harsh word is as cold as the coldest day of June. If anyone doesn't understand, I will teach him! If anyone still does it after I teach him, don't even think of letting me see him if he has a headache, fever, or hurts his hands or paws in the future!"

The thin man shrank his head again, stood up to get some porridge, and then didn't come back to sit down.

The fat man looked at me and smiled: "Little brother, eat slowly."

I nodded, slowly broke the cold steamed bun in my hand, put it into my mouth bit by bit, and swallowed it until it was wet.

A lame man limped over to take the place of the thin man, greeted Wang Shiba, and started to drink the porridge. While drinking, he chatted with him: "When can we leave?"

Wang Shiba replied, "I don't know, maybe sooner or later."

The lame man sighed and said, "Let's go quickly. The food here is not good, the accommodation here is not good, and there is no fun at all."

Wang Shiba took a big bite of the steamed bun and said, "The army is already poor, what fun do you want? I'll sing a song for you, sir."

The lame man waved his hands again and again: "Forget it, your voice is so out of tune, I can't listen to it."

I saw that they were indeed poor, and thought that although I couldn't make them eat and drink, I might still be able to have some fun if I tried hard, so I took over the conversation: "I'm not very talented, but I know a few stories. Can you tell them to cheer me up?"

Wang Shiba turned around and said happily, "You can tell stories? Great! Pick up the stories of heroes and tell them to me!"

I thought about it and said, "Okay! It is said that a long time ago, there was a great knight in the Central Plains named Guo Jing. He had amazing arm strength and could shoot down an eagle flying in the sky with one arrow..."

As I was speaking, I felt some movement behind me. I turned around and saw Maoqiu, with his two tufts of golden hair flying, walking up to me and stopping. He tapped the ground with his right foot and shook his legs.

I quickly turned around and changed my words, "The hero Guo Jing had a friend who passed away early and entrusted his son to him to raise. This child will become the hero Divine Condor. He also has a big eagle, but it is ugly and bulky, and is nowhere near as majestic as our Maoqiu Eagle!"

The fur ball stretched out its wings and patted my shoulder. I guess it was very satisfied with my flattery.

I simply skipped the previous part and told them the part about the martial arts conference that they liked to hear. They drank up the porridge in the pot and were reluctant to leave. They gathered around me and listened with great interest.

When I talked about the fight between King Jinlun and Guo Jing, both of whom were injured, I felt my shoulder being tapped again. I was talking excitedly, and without turning my head, I scratched it and said, "Stop it, Maoqiu!" Then I found that Wang Shiba and the others were holding bowls and staring at the back of me.

I turned around, and saw Xiangliu standing behind me with an expressionless face. I quickly stood up and said, "Sir! Have you eaten?"

Xiangliu replied: "I ate inside."

I asked tentatively, "Will adults come to listen to the story too?"

Xiangliu turned around with his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go!" Then he swiftly rode on Maoqiu's back.

I wiped my mouth and raised my hand to the soldiers: "To know what happened next, please wait for the next chapter. I will go ahead!"

Wang Shiba and the others were obviously unable to stop, but they did not dare to say much, so they could only bow and disperse.

Xiangliu stretched out his hand and pulled me onto the back of the fur ball, and said in front of me, "Hold on tight."

As soon as I got a firm hold on it, the ball of fur spread its wings and flew straight into the sky.

I quickly closed my eyes and imagined myself on a roller coaster so that I wouldn't be too scared.

The weather is cold, but the fur balls don't fly high or fast, so the cold wind doesn't cut across my skin like a knife. I think I can hold out for a while.

But once I closed my eyes, time passed very slowly. Xiang Liu was silent in front of me, and I didn't dare to talk to him either. I could only try to keep my eyelids closed.

The ball of fur started to circle in place after flying for a while. I bravely opened one eye and looked down. I saw the frozen Chishui River, which was crystal clear and reflected the light in the sun.

"I don't know if the carriage has been washed downstream. I will go down from here in a moment. If you see me coming up somewhere else, let Maoqiu fly there to meet me and grab the carriage and take it away."

I replied: "Okay, be careful. And..."

He turned sideways to look at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"If you...if you see Xiaohong, can you bring it up as well?" Xiaohong's wet, black eyes flashed before my eyes, and my nose couldn't help but feel sore.

Xiangliu pondered for a moment and said, "If possible." Then he jumped down.

Seeing his white figure falling rapidly, I cried out in surprise, but unexpectedly, he was in mid-air with a blue light emitting from his body.

The light was very bright, but it also dissipated quickly. When the light dissipated, a blue-green demon that looked like a dragon or a snake appeared in the air. It had nine necks and nine heads, which forked from the middle of its body. Each head had a ferocious look and danced along with its long neck.

It rolled into the ice, punching a big hole in it, and a piece of broken ice appeared, which rolled a long way on the ice. When its tail completely entered the water, it created a large splash of water.

The ice was not thick. I saw it from the air, lurking under the ice. It meandered upstream like a dragon, then dived and disappeared completely.
