Chapter 307: My Bird! —Ning Shu’s Internal Cry

The hidden guard’s face was covered with a black cloth that only left his eyes and his square forehead visible. He glanced back at Ning Shu and said, “I haven’t seen any villages.”

Ning Shu furrowed her brows. Yue Lan said, “Miss, why don’t we take rights? If we can’t find anyone on the left, we’ll just look on the right.”

Ning Shu: …

“Forget it, I’m a little tired. Let’s set up camp,” said Ning Shu with a wave.

The hidden guard said, “There’s no need to go through the trouble of setting up camp. You and Yue Lan can just rest in the carriage and I’ll just find a tree to nap in.”

“But I don’t want to sit in the carriage anymore. I want to lie on something flat for a night,” said Ning Shu with a bitter expression. She couldn’t even straighten her legs in the carriage. It was so tiring.

The hidden guard looked at her like ‘is your princess syndrome flaring up again?’ Ning Shu got annoyed and said, “There’s only the three of us here, so what are you covering your face for? Don’t you know that you stand out a lot this way? We’re trying to be low-key, but how are we supposed to be low-key when you look like you’re about to rob the rich to distribute it to the poor?”

The hidden guard didn’t say anything, but he didn’t take the black cloth down either. He just went to look for a place to set up camp.

Ning Shu clutched her heart as if she had been hurt and said to Yue Lan, “Your family’s big brother hidden guard is so cold.”

Yue Lan replied sternly, “Miss, the hidden guard doesn’t belong to this servant’s family; he’s your family’s.”

Ning Shu: …

The hidden guard clearly still had some heart because he roasted some wild game for them.

The hidden guard handed over something that looked like a pigeon and Ning Shu hastily reached out for it, but his hands moved over and handed it to Yue Lan instead.

Yue Lan was stunned for a moment before she took the roasted bird. When she saw how awkward Ning Shu looked, she offered the roasted bird to Ning Shu. “Miss, why don’t you eat first?”

Ning Shu’s face twitched and she forced herself to say, “It’s fine, you eat it. Big Brother Hidden Guard gave it to you.”

“Miss, you should eat it,” said Yue Lan.

Ning Shu: “I won’t.”

Yue Lan: “Miss, you should eat it. This servant knows that you like eating meat these days.”

Ning Shu: “There’s no need, you should eat it. Big Brother Hidden Guard gave it to you.”

Yue Lan: “Why don’t we split it?”

Ning Shu’s face convulsed violently. Was there a need to be like this over such a skinny bird? She stuffed the bird into Yue Lan’s mouth. “I told you to eat it so just eat it! Why waste so much time talking?”

Yue Lan started gnawing on the fragrant roasted bird and said, “Miss, it’s quite fragrant. It’s not wonder why the lord likes eating wild game so much. It’s really fragrant. Miss, just wait a little longer, the hidden guard’s almost done roasting that one.”

NIng Shu stared at the bird the hidden guard was holding and gulped. Suddenly, the hidden guard threw the bird into the fire and drew his sword to point it in a certain direction as he shouted, “Who’s there?”

Yue Lan threw the cleaned bones of the roasted bird and jumped up to shield Ning Shu heroically. She copied the big brother hidden guard’s stern tone and shouted, “Who’s there? Roll out and prepare to die! Give up all hopes of trying to harm my miss.”

Ning Shu: Why did you reveal your miss in the first place?

Ning Shu hastily covered her face with a handkerchief and left only her eyes exposed.

After a burst of rustling, a man dressed in green who was carrying a bamboo basket walked over. Cupping his fist in a refined manner, he said, “This one wasn’t planning on disturbing, but it’s growing dark, so this one wished to borrow some fire.”

Ning Shu narrowed her eyes as she looked at this man. She couldn’t see him clearly since it was too dark, but the way he spoke was very refined and her heart was giving an intense reaction, so this guy was definitely a male lead.

Ning Shu coughed delicately, then said, “Every encounter is fate. So, Sir, why not join us and have some water?”

The man cupped his fist towards Ning Shu and said, “Many thanks, Miss.”
