Chapter 304 A feeling of disgust welled up in my heart.
Xie Yanli frowned, wondering what she was up to.
Mo Qingkui was a little anxious, "It's really possible, give it to me quickly."
Before he could finish speaking, he tried to grab it.
This is her shining moment, and it absolutely cannot be affected!
Seeing her approach, Gao Xian immediately reached out and stopped her.
"Qingkui, what exactly do you want?"
"Start a fire!" Mo Qingkui shouted. "Friction can produce sparks. Iron is hard enough that friction will do work, thus converting mechanical energy into heat energy."
The three of them frowned as they listened.
But Gao Xian and Qin Jiuwei knew that Mo Qingkui really knew some things they didn't.
Her method might actually work.
Gao Xian finally sighed and looked at Xie Yanli.
"Let Qingkui use it; we can't be without a fire tonight."
Mo Qingkui took Xie Yanli's longsword and immediately threw it to the ground.
He then tore off a small, relatively dry piece of the inner lining from his outer garment with his sword, rubbed it into a rough, velvety texture, and used it as kindling.
Then they piled the scraps of cloth and hay into small heaps.
She focused intently on gently tapping the flint with the metal sheet.
When sparks land on the fabric scraps, immediately blow gently into them to help them ignite.
As everyone held their breath, the fabric scraps finally began to emit wisps of smoke, followed by a small cluster of flickering flames.
She quickly added dry grass and twigs to the fire, stabilizing it.
Soon, a warm fire rose in the cave.
"Qingkui, you actually started a fire!" Gao Xian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Mo Qingkui raised her chin, looking very proud.
Her mind is full of modern knowledge; any one of it she pulls out can leave them speechless.
Qin Jiuwei, however, was silently observing her.
She had long known that Consort Chen was different from them, but this was the first time she had heard her use so many complex and unfamiliar words.
She has lived two lives and has never heard anyone other than herself say this.
Was Consort Chen really from the same era as them?
The cave was warmed up instantly by the fire.
It was getting darker and darker outside.
I'll be sleeping here tonight.
Finally, the four of them discussed it and decided to take turns keeping watch.
They also built a simple sleeping nest out of dry grass.
Qin Jiuwei and Xie Yanli slept together, while Gao Xian and Mo Qingkui slept together.
The person on watch was responsible for standing guard by the fire.
The first night ended peacefully.
It was dawn the next day.
The four of them woke up one after another. It was still raining outside, but the rain had obviously lessened.
Qin Jiuwei sighed softly, stood up, and glanced at the person beside her.
"Staying here like this isn't a solution; we need to find something to eat."
Qin Jiuwei looked outside the cave and said with some concern.
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingkui couldn't help but purse her lips, "But where can we find food around here?"
Xie Yanli glanced at Mo Qingkui and said calmly.
“When I entered the cave yesterday, I saw a fruit tree not far from the entrance, which was laden with fruit and should be edible.”
Xie Yanli stood up, put on his cloak, and turned to look at Qin Jiuwei.
"You stay here, I'll go pick some more. We can't go without eating."
Qin Jiuwei nodded slightly.
Xie Yanli, wearing a cloak, walked outside.
"Wait a minute." Gao Xian immediately followed after them. "I'll go with you."
The fruit trees were not far away, and the two arrived quickly.
The rain outside has lessened a bit.
Xie Yanli picked the fruit while placing the slightly greener ones aside.
Gao Xian then held a long branch and tried to pry the fruit off the top.
Qin Jiuwei was responsible for delivering the fruit into the cave.
The group worked diligently, and before long, they had accumulated a small pile.
Mo Qingkui took the initiative to clean and divide the fruit.
After picking the fruit, Xie Yanli and Gao Xian entered the cave one after the other.
Their clothes were already soaked by the rain, clinging to their bodies and outlining their tall and straight figures.
Xie Yanli had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes; his cold, hard features were made even more distinct by the rain.
His wet hair clung to his forehead, and his usually refined and handsome demeanor now revealed a hint of wildness.
Gao Xian, on the other hand, gave off a different vibe. He had a slightly darker complexion, a sharply defined face, and a hint of wickedness in his phoenix eyes.
The two stood still in the cave, their figures, wet from the rain, exuding a sharp and striking aura.
Mo Qingkui couldn't help but swallow.
These two are really good-looking!
Give them plenty of fruit!
Xie Yanli and Gao Xian walked to the fire and patted the rain off their clothes.
Qin Jiuwei was tidying up the place where they would eat later.
No one noticed Mo Qingkui picking the fruit.
A moment later, Mo Qingkui exclaimed excitedly, "The fruit is ready, we can eat now!"
The three men walked up to her.
Mo Qingkui pushed the divided fruit over one by one.
Qin Jiuwei noticed the pile of fruit in front of her and reached out to move it aside.
It was discovered that only the topmost fruit was of good quality.
But all that was left below were some very small, unripe fruits.
A feeling of disgust welled up in Qin Jiuwei's heart.
It started again.
They've started using these underhanded bullying tactics again.
Qin Jiuwei raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Qingkui.
Mo Qingkui met her gaze and smiled at her nonchalantly.
His eyes held a hint of provocation and disdain, and he then took a large bite of the fruit in his hand.
Cabin in the woods.
Shen Xingjian was tied to a bench with his hands tied behind his back.
The cane struck his shoulders and back heavily, making dull thuds, accompanied by blood seeping into his clothes.
His face was covered in cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.
The atmosphere inside the room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Xie Zhongzhi, dressed in a white robe, looked at his disheveled appearance, and his smile deepened.
Shen Xingjian had always followed Xie Yanli's lead, and he deserved this fate!
"General Shen, after being tortured for a day and a night, you still refuse to hand it over? If you hand it over, you won't have to suffer like this anymore."
Shen Xingjian did not respond, but slowly raised his head and stared directly at Xie Zhongzhi with his bloodshot eyes.
Such a gaze startled Xie Zhongzhi, but he quickly concealed it.
"He won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences. Guards, add more punishment to his punishment!"
Several men in black immediately stepped forward and pressed a red-hot iron bar directly into Shen Xingjian's chest.
Despite the excruciating pain and uncontrollable convulsions, Shen Xingjian gritted his teeth and remained silent.
His lips were bleeding from being bitten, and his hands were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Sweat dripped down, mingling with the bloodstains on the ground.
"Continue!" Xie Zhongzhi coldly ordered.
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely weak voice slowly rang out.
"and many more……"
Xie Zhongzhi turned his gaze and met Shen Xingjian's bloodshot eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot to the extreme, and cold sweat trickled down his face, making them look like tears of blood.
Shen Xingjian gave a cold laugh.
"Didn't you want the Imperial Guard's deployment map? Here you go."
