Chapter 144 Snowing
“Delicious!”
Seeing that she was satisfied, Ning Ji's mouth corners raised slightly.
"How come you are so good at cooking?" She felt that he was really amazing. Everything he made tasted great and was no worse than the chefs outside.
"If you like it, drink more. I will make it for you tomorrow." His smile deepened when he heard her praise.
Milk is easy to buy in Beisha Country. There are many herders here, so it is quite simple to make this.
"Okay." She took another big sip. Mm, it was warm and really delicious.
He picked up a piece of pancake with chopsticks and gave it to her. "This is beef filling, salty. I bought it from a well-known shop on Chang Street. Try it."
She took a bite. The crust was crispy, the meat filling was delicious, and the taste was excellent. "Delicious."
His eyes were full of doting, and he wiped the biscuit crumbs from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. "It's too windy today, so I won't take you out for a walk. What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you, or make it for you."
"Okay." She didn't really have to go out, and there were people imprisoned in the cellar. If something went wrong, it would be bad. "Whatever you cook, I'll eat it."
She knew he was still busy studying the spirit and didn't want to trouble him too much.
He asked: "How about making chicken soup later?"
"Okay." She responded and ate the pie in the bowl.
As soon as she finished eating, Ning Ji picked up another piece for her.
"If I keep eating like this, I'll get fat," she said.
He said: "It's good to be a little fatter."
"Ah~ How come you are so good at talking." She glanced at him.
He smiled and said, “The truth.”
At this time, there was another sound of shouting and scolding from the house next door. The woman started to make a fuss again, and her voice sounded a little exasperated.
"You losers, you can't even do a simple thing! This thing is so hard, how can you eat it?!"
pop~
There was a sound of bowls being smashed, and the noise was so loud that Si He could hear it even in the room.
Then the two maids begged for mercy in a low voice.
But the woman seemed to want to vent her anger more. Judging from the sound, she seemed to have started to fight. The maidservant begged for mercy even more loudly and noisily.
If Si He hadn't known that the woman was a bought slave, she would have thought that it was some young lady throwing a tantrum. She was really quite angry.
"Eat quickly, it will get cold soon." Ning Ji urged.
"Oh." Si He continued eating.
The shouting and cursing from the house next door didn't stop for a long time.
At noon, Huang Dashan came again, and from time to time there were cries and voices of comforting coming from the house. The voices were not loud, but all kinds of small noises never stopped.
Si He could only go back to the house and stay there where she could have some peace and quiet.
When Ning Ji went out, he bought her a few books about the foreign lands of Beisha Kingdom. The books described the customs, people, products, etc. of Beisha Kingdom to cheer her up.
While she was reading in the house, Ning Ji went to the cellar to work on researching spiritual medicine.
For several days in a row, I spent my days in this ordinary and peaceful manner.
And Si He also learned about the identity of the woman next door through unintentional listening over the past few days. She seemed to be the daughter of a tribal leader. She used to have a noble status, but later the tribe was destroyed and she was captured and sold, so she is so resentful now.
When she scolded the maidservant, her voice was quite loud, and she was using her previous status to teach her a lesson, so Si He could hear it so clearly.
But in front of Huang Dashan, she restrained her temper and was not so irritable.
These were nothing, but what caught her attention was that amidst the woman's scolding, Si He occasionally heard her say something about the great witch, but she couldn't hear it clearly because of the wall between them.
Speaking of witches, Si He couldn't help but think of the stone paintings he saw in the Tianshan tombs, all of which were about the witch clan.
In the past few days, she has read some foreign chronicles of the Beisha Kingdom, and learned that in some remote tribes, the people believe in witches.
As for witches, she thinks they are quite magical.
In the past, she didn't believe in these things, but in this world, there are indeed fantastic and strange things.
Apart from anything else, some of the situations she encountered were unusual, so she believed that this witch must also have incredible magical powers.
"Husband, do you know the witch of Beisha Kingdom?" she asked Ning Ji curiously.
"I've heard a little about it, but I don't know much about it."
"Oh." She nodded.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
During the day, he spent most of his time in the cellar, so he didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the house next door.
Si He told him what she had heard.
He said, "After winter, when the weather gets better, I'll take you to visit those tribes and broaden your horizons."
Hearing his words, her eyes lit up slightly, but she was also a little worried, "Is there any danger?"
He smiled lightly, "Just keep a low profile, I can protect you."
Hearing this, she also laughed.
At this moment, it suddenly started snowing outside.
In the sky, tiny snowflakes were floating and dancing all over the sky.
This is the first snow of the year.
"Wow~ It's snowing!" Si He was quite excited. She walked out the door, stretched out her hand and caught the falling snowflakes.
When the snowflakes fell on the palm of your hand, they were icy and cool, and melted quickly. It felt quite magical.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" She said to him with a smile, her face full of joy.
He also smiled, looked at the girl standing in the snow, and said, "Yes, she is very beautiful."
There was a doting look in his eyes, as if he was talking about her, not Xue.
At first, there were only a few scattered snowflakes, like stars scattered in the sky, sparkling with crystal light, very beautiful.
But gradually, the snowflakes became denser and denser, falling like goose feathers. Occasionally, when the wind blew, bursts of snow mist formed, which made people feel as if they were in a fairyland, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Snowflakes were flying, and soon, snow fell on her head and body, but she was still having fun and laughing happily.
The sky is full of white snowflakes.
Ning Ji walked into the snow and gently brushed the snow off her body, "Be careful not to catch a cold."
"not cold."
In fact, it is not cold when it snows, it is only cold when the snow melts.
However, the snow fell heavier and heavier, so she returned to the eaves.
Ning Ji moved a chair for her, and she sat in front of the house, watching the snow with great interest, occasionally reaching out to catch the falling snowflakes.
"You like snow so much?" Looking at her sitting there obediently watching the snow, he felt a little funny and curled his lips.
"I like it." She said with a smile.
At this moment, the roof and the yard were covered with a thin layer of snow, a vast expanse of white, creating a unique artistic conception.
It seems as if the whole world is surrounded by snowflakes. When the snowflakes fall in the air, they make a rustling sound accompanied by a slight wind. Just looking at it makes people feel quiet and beautiful.
Where she used to live, it hardly snowed in winter, so she was particularly excited when she saw the white snowflakes.
