Reborn pretty princess

Chapter 244 Trapped in the Barren Mountain
"You guys still want to go find something to eat?" Feng Wei sighed and said, "I'm not as useless as you think, so get a good rest! There may be tough battles to deal with at night."

This terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the enemy may come to sneak attack while the night is dim.

But those personal guards were very stubborn, no matter what Feng Wei said, they would send someone to follow her to take care of her.

In the stalemate, not far away, Xiangtong got up and walked over: "Your Highness, let this servant accompany you, how can we rest assured that you are alone in the barren mountains?"

Compared with others, Xiangtong has much better physical strength.

She is a woman, and she is also the servant girl who waits on Fengwei. Those guards put her in the inner circle intentionally or unintentionally, and the enemies she comes into contact with are much less than those guards who resist at the outermost perimeter!
Feng Wei also knew that these loyal guards would never let her act alone, so she nodded in order not to waste their time adjusting breath.

Seeing her promise, the guards sat down again and took the time to adjust their breathing to recover.

Fengwei slowly searched around, Xiangtong followed her with a sword in hand, vigilantly paying attention to the movement around her.

Fengwei had a lot of experience in fleeing in her previous life, and Feng Wei had a lot of experience in how to search for food to fill her stomach. After a while, she dug out some massive rhizomes hidden deep in the thick snow.

"Xiangtong, cut a small hole for each tuber."

Xiangtong did as she said, and then watched as Fengwei wiped the incision with saliva on her hands, carefully identifying the roots of these unknown plants under the moonlight.

Soon, some were kept and some were discarded, Fengwei gathered a large pile of tubers.

Xiangtong watched curiously from the side, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, what are these, how do you know they are edible?"

"I don't know what it is, but since it has been verified that it is not poisonous, it should be edible." Fengwei replied evasively, "These are all taught to me by my mother. If you are sleepy, just rely on these to survive."

Hearing that it was taught to Fengwei by Empress Yuan, Xiangtong felt relieved at once.After all, that is Princess Wu Lie known as the "Valkyrie". In her and even in the hearts of every Feng family, she is an omnipotent legend!
Knowing her mentality, Feng Wei would use this reason as a shield, otherwise she would not be able to explain how she knew this.

But...Xiangtong stared at these dark, unknown tubers wrapped in mud, and didn't feel that their taste would be any better.

Seeing that there are already a bunch of them in front of Fengwei, she is still tirelessly trying to find her next target.She considered it for a while, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, if you want to eat, these should be enough. They all have dry food with them."

Fengwei's pawing movements became stiff at once, she turned her head expressionlessly, and repeated following her words: "Do you all have dry food?"

"That's right." Xiangtong blinked her eyes and said naturally, "The maidservant also has belts and some snacks, but they are probably all broken."

The pure appearance really made Feng Wei feel ashamed, she asked suspiciously: "It's just that you take dry food with you when you go out of the city?"

"It's an old habit in the army, just in case of emergencies. The slaves are also trained by the Feng family according to the methods in the army, so they are used to it." Xiangtong replied casually, "But the dry food is cold and dark, Your Highness must eat it. If you are not used to it, you can find some ingredients locally. Your Highness likes to eat this?" She picked up a tuber casually.

Who likes to eat!This kind of ice and snow, these things dug out of the soil are either bitter or astringent, and they can only fill the stomach.

Feng Wei looked down at the tubers in front of her, resisted the urge to throw them all away, and asked, "How much dry food do you usually carry with you?"

Xiangtong thought for a while, and said: "One day, but it's an extraordinary period, and it's enough for two days if you save it."

For two days, Feng Wei thought about it, and in less than two days, the three hundred guards who stayed at Jiaozhi tomorrow will not see them back, so they will naturally send out troops to find them.

It's just that she didn't tell anyone about her whereabouts today, and she doesn't know how long it will take for them to find her, but it won't take more than two days anyway.

"Let's go." After clapping her hands, Feng Wei stood up.

Xiangtong was surprised: "Your Highness, you don't want these anymore?"

"No, I suddenly want to eat dry food. Did you bring my share?"

"Of course I did."

With this sentence, Fengwei immediately discarded the pile of tubers that were not tasty at first sight.

Then I looked for firewood nearby. Most of the firewood that I could pick up on the snow was wet, and only a few dead branches piled up together could find some that were slightly wet on the surface and dry on the inside.But there are not many such firewood, Fengwei originally wanted to go a little further to find other places, but Xiangtong didn't agree with her going too far, so she gave up.

When going back, Fengwei circled around and returned to the place where they were staying from another direction. Fortunately, she saw a bowl-shaped natural stone with a depression in the middle. When she went back, she called a guard to follow Xiangtong to carry it back .

Finding a leeward place, Xiangtong took out a fire bag from her arms to light a fire, Fengwei put the bowl-shaped natural stone on the fire, and then asked the guards to take out all the dry food in their arms, After breaking it into two halves, stack them together and put them close to the recess of the stone, and then take them out after they are warm and divide them up, so that one by one, everyone will eat hot dry food soon.

After she was full, Fengwei casually grabbed a few handfuls of snow and put them in the rocks. Without her saying anything, a personal guard cut down a tree with a knife and chipped a few wooden bowls. Others followed suit. I cut a wooden bowl by myself, filled it with hot water and drank it, and my body was warm for a while.

At this time, Xiangtong had already counted the remaining number of people, and there were 202 people, and nearly half of them died on the small road because the enemies who stayed behind to resist the pursuit fell into siege.

Instead, they resisted the attack all afternoon, because they supported each other, and the casualties were smaller.

Listening to the reported results, Feng Wei pursed her lips tightly.

It was her momentary credulity and negligence that cost so many lives!

Seeing her remorse, Xiangtong comforted her in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't worry, they deserved to die! As long as you are fine, Your Highness, everything is worth it."

does it worth?Are so many lives worth it just for her?

Feng Wei closed her eyes, hating herself for being powerless.

If she is the queen mother, she can lead the guards under her command to rush out, right?Who can those people stop?But with such a burden as her, but also to protect her safety, once they rushed out of the barren mountain, without cover and obstacles, in the white snow, they were moving targets one by one, and the enemy would calmly hunt for their lives!
