Chu Xiaomeng searched all the clothes on her body, and there was not a single copper coin in her body. The only cake she had hidden in the morning was just shared between the two of them. Chu Xiaomeng rubbed her flat belly, not feeling satisfied at all.

, you can even feel the bubbling inside.

She couldn't starve herself if the little brother didn't team up with her. This man had happily shared a bag of pastries with her just now and now abandoned her. Chu Xiaomeng curled her lips and called him a coward.

The firewood shed in Prince Yan's Mansion was built in a relatively remote place. Chu Xiaomeng looked around and found no place to escape. However, since the firewood shed was built here, the kitchen must not be too far away. Chu Xiaomeng looked around and found no place to escape.

Meng had an idea. If he couldn't escape from the palace, he could sneak into the kitchen and steal some food. But this idea was rejected by Chu Xiaomeng as soon as it came up.

It doesn't work. Now it is estimated that more than half of the people in the entire palace know about her. There are Nanny Huang's spies everywhere, and she is eye-catching wherever she goes. The kitchen is an important place guarded by Nanny Huang, and she can't even think of sneaking into the kitchen.

That is simply throwing yourself into a trap.

She didn't know if God would not let her go hungry, so she walked out a few steps and arrived at a garden of the palace. There was a pond in the garden. In an inconspicuous corner, there was a cloth bag wrapped with something.

, Chu Xiaomeng has a keen eye for beads and quickly goes to pick them up.

Good guy, she guessed it right.

Most of the things in this palace are worth a lot of money. The fish kept in the pond are not common. If you can get one or two of them, you can sell them for a good price. Fortunately, you can get a month's salary.

It’s also a fish kept in a pond. Even if one or two are missing, who can spot it at once?

Chu Xiaomeng picked up the bag of fish and sternly condemned the immorality of the person who stole the fish. Fortunately, she picked it up, otherwise she would have let the person succeed.

Chu Xiaomeng picked up the fish and ran back, as if she was afraid of being discovered. While looking around nervously, she was happily dancing in her heart. Unexpectedly, without paying attention, she stepped on a stone and almost fell to the ground.

Chu Xiaomeng squatted down, patted the dust on her hands and rubbed it on her clothes. Her eyes did not dare to take half a step away from the bag of fish. She moved her body to get the bag of fish, but she had just stretched out her hand.

When he took action, the bag of fish disappeared right in front of Chu Xiaomeng's eyes?

Chu Xiaomeng blinked and raised his head, and sure enough he saw a man holding the bag of fish with a few fingers as if he was disgusted, looking down at Chu Xiaomeng who was squatting in a small ball.

Chu Xiaomeng was so confused that she almost suspected that her eyes were not fully healed yet, so she was hallucinating? No matter how this person made her feel familiar, the most important thing at the moment was that the fish she had filled her stomach with was in the hands of that person.

"Repay me!" Chu Xiaomeng blurted out these two words firmly and decisively, and the tone of her voice made people feel that the consequences of not returning her would not be good.

This girl is really arrogant. She always speaks and holds orders. Prince Yan, who is used to giving orders, will do whatever he wants her to say.

He remembered the day when he met her on the street. The girl was covered in filth and wanted to rub against his sedan. She opened her mouth to ask him to get out of the way. At first he refused, but later he heard that someone was there.

When he was chasing her, he was so hungry that he let her get on his sedan chair, and then he took her into Prince Yan's Mansion.

Staring at Chu Xiaomeng squatting on the ground through the mask, she still thinks everything is incredible. Since the man has not gotten up yet, is it possible that she still wants him to pull her up?

Huh, it's a beautiful thought. Prince Yan took the bag of fish in disgust and turned around to leave without looking back.

Chu Xiaomeng was shocked! Hey! I have never seen such a shameless person. She dared to snatch the fish that caught her mouth!

She immediately stood up straight, followed quickly, and reached out to grab the fish that the man was holding. The man's back was clearly facing her, but he seemed to have eyes behind him, just when she was about to get it.

He raised his arm at the right time, but Chu Xiaomeng was stunned to miss it.

Chu Xiaomeng was furious. What does it mean to be unlucky in a fleeting year? This was an unlucky year for her.

The man didn't walk very fast. Chu Xiaomeng sped up and rushed in front of the man to stop him. She tried to block the man's way with the body of a dwarf with two heads.

"Brother, please return the fish to me. Since we are acquaintances." Chu Xiaomeng used her special skill and smiled with a harmless and innocent look on her face.

Humph, I know this is an acquaintance. I didn’t know who it was just now, but you still dare to be so arrogant when the thing is in someone else’s hands. Is this the attitude of asking for help?

Seeing the masked elder brother, he remained silent and didn't speak. Chu Xiaomeng didn't know what this man meant, but she couldn't stay here for long, and she was waiting to get the fish to grill and eat.

Before Chu Xiaomeng could figure out the reason, the masked brother mercifully returned the fish to her. Chu Xiaomeng caught it steadily, fearing that the fish that hit her mouth would fly out again.

"I knew that my brother was a good person, and he would never do such a thing to steal people's food. To tell you the truth, after we said goodbye that day, I often thought about your kindness and thought about how I would repay you if we could meet again.

"Today is such a coincidence, why don't I treat you to grilled fish?" Chu Xiaomeng boldly suggested, holding up the bag of fish and following the pace of the brother.

A strange man who didn't even know his name remembered it clearly. After hearing this, a certain prince felt inexplicably sour in his heart.

Although Chu Xiaomeng said this in a flattering way, she meant it sincerely. She may not be able to remember other things very well, but she remembers things very well. Whoever harmed her, she

She can remember for all eternity who has helped her, and she will repay them if she can.

There was another moment of silence, Chu Xiaomeng pursed her lips, her round eyes glanced around, and the continuous low air pressure made Chu Xiaomeng almost breathless.

Although she had only met him once, not even a meeting, Chu Xiaomeng was still keenly aware that this eldest brother seemed to be different from last time. She remembered that although he was not talkative before, he was not so boring.

He didn't reply to her. The eldest brother didn't reply to her. Chu Xiaomeng didn't know whether he had agreed or not, so she had to smile dryly to cover up her embarrassment. Fortunately, although he didn't speak, he still followed Chu Xiaomeng.

She didn't know why, but when she met this masked brother, Chu Xiaomeng felt that her head was stuck, and her reflex arc was surprisingly long. Only now that the man finally followed her did she suddenly realize a problem.

.

Where did this big brother come from?

She happened to meet him last time when she was in the Chu Mansion and got out of the mansion with his help. Now that she is in the palace, she just had the idea of ​​​​escaping from the palace to find something to eat. Could it be that this eldest brother is here to save her?

She was thinking wildly in Chu Xiaomeng's head about Shuihuo, and finally they all came back to her mind. If her elder brother didn't tell her, then she shouldn't ask.

Back to the woodshed, the little brother had left. Chu Xiaomeng breathed a sigh of relief. It would not be good if another person found out that the big brother was here.

Chu Xiaomeng picked a few pieces of dry firewood and put them together. After looking around, she couldn't find anything that could light a fire. "Hey, this is ancient times. Are there lighters, matches, etc.? She really doesn't know how to start a fire."

Ah, is it possible that we really want to try the so-called drilling of wood to make fire?

Chu Xiaomeng was about to collapse. Why did everyone bully her every day? It was hard to find something to eat. There was no fire to grill the fish.

Just when Chu Xiaomeng was getting anxious and furious, the pile of firewood spontaneously ignited under Chu Xiaomeng's naked eyes. Chu Xiaomeng was so shocked that her eyes opened wide with a look of disbelief on her face. Who the hell can use science?

Please explain the principle?

The jumping flames made Chu Xiaomeng's face turn red. It was only at this moment that Chu Xiaomeng realized that she must have looked extremely ugly. People looked at her in such a miserable state. She probably lost all of her image.

While Chu Xiaomeng was cheering in surprise, the eldest brother had been standing aside leaning against him, his black clothes blending into the night. Fortunately, the bright firelight shone on him, proving that this person was still here.

.

He still didn't say a word and was very cold and aloof.

Chu Xiaomeng didn't want to waste a moment. She packed up the firewood and took the ax to chop a piece of wood. Because of the unstable strength, the piece of wood was much thinner, but it was still too thick to skewer fish.

.

I saw the elder brother taking Chu Xiaomeng's ax and hacking at the wood accurately. Chu Xiaomeng had seen what knife skills were. In just a few strokes, the piece of wood was cut into several thin pieces.

However, the man had no intention of stopping. He took another piece of wood and tried to chop it again, but Chu Xiaomeng stopped him.

There are so many fish that can be grilled. There are only three in total. Judging from the variety of fish, they should be worth some money, but Chu Xiaomeng doesn't care about so many, as long as he can eat them.

Chu Xiaomeng swung the fish a few times to shake off the water covering the fish, picked up the wooden strips and skillfully inserted them into the fish, and finally hung them on the flames.

"Hey! Brother, we have met twice, and I still don't know your name." Chu Xiaomeng thought that it seemed a little bad to always call brothers like this, but she also thought that this eldest brother's profession might not be suitable for him.

Tell her her name, it's not good for her to be so hard on others.

Damn it, Chu Xiaomeng knew that it was not good to force others to make things difficult for them.

"Forget it, it's okay if you don't tell me, but I have to think about how to call you. How about I give you a nickname?" Chu Xiaomeng suggested enthusiastically, without waiting for anyone to explain the reason.

I just started thinking about what to call him.

"No need." The man who cherished words like gold finally spoke, and declined Chu Xiaomeng's proposal without any room. Chu Xiaomeng nodded blankly, and before he could express his displeasure, he heard the man continue to say: "My

The code name is Yi, you can call me whatever you want."
