Chapter 404: Wei Ruo’s Rescue in the Wind and Snow

Lu Yuhong was the first to ask, “Why are you here, Big Miss Wei?”

“I came back from the open field and caught the snow, it was too dangerous to continue the journey so I rested in place.” Wei Ruo replied.

Lu Yuhong asked again, “Are you planning to set up camp here?”

“Yes, the wind and snow are very strong and the travel is dangerous and unpredictable. The terrain here is open, there will be no risk of avalanches, staying in place to rest as long as you pay attention to keeping warm, it’s unlikely to be dangerous.” Wei Ruo analyzed.

Indeed that was the case, and all six gave a look of approval.

Just doing so also requires that you have enough supplies on you.

Like the few they have like this just ……

Wei Ruo inquired, “Why are you here?”

Lu Yuhong beside Yuan Wangyuan on behalf of a few people replied: “We are the morning just when the snow started to move down the mountain, at that time did not think that the snow will be down so big, thought to hurry down the mountain to the foot of the stables to retrieve the horse riding should be able to enter the city very quickly. I never thought of the foot of the mountain, the snow has been very thick, re-entering the mountain is more dangerous, so decided to ride back to the city, I did not expect to travel half, has been unable to continue to move forward.”

Yuan Wangyuan looked embarrassed as he spoke.

Wei Ruo keenly perceived the difficulties of a few people, so heavy snow, a few people are not only thinly dressed, and there are only a few horses around, probably did not bring any food.

So Wei Ruo took the initiative and spoke, “If you don’t mind resting in my shed for a while and roasting the fire.”

Wei Ruo took the initiative to invite, sparing a few people the embarrassment of opening their mouths.

“Can I?” Liu Yu asked with some surprise.

“Naturally.” Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong laughed and said, “Liu Yu what are you talking about, Yi Chen brother is here, people are full brother and sister, what are you afraid of with him?”

Liu Yu smiled, “It’s not true that Brother Yi Chen is there, but these few of us are not related to Big Miss Wei, and we are still very grateful to have Big Miss take us in.”

“You’re right to say that!”

Lu Yuhong said, and as soon as he unclipped the jade pendant at his waist, he wanted to give it to Wei Ruo as a thank you gift.

Wei Ruo naturally didn’t dare to pick it up.

Wei Yi Chen stopped Lu Yuhong, “Brother Lu, men and women are not related.”

Lu Yuhong froze for a moment before reacting to the fact that it was a very impolite move for a man to give his jade pendant to a woman.

So he smiled awkwardly, “I’m sorry Big Miss Wei, I didn’t mean to be light, it’s this head of mine that didn’t think so much for a moment, just wanted to express my gratitude.”

Wei Ruo knew Lu Yuhong’s rough and tumble character, so she would not bother with him.

“Mr. Lu don’t have to be polite, you guys find a place to sit first, Meimei and I will cook a pot of meat soup, so everyone can have some soup to warm up.”

After explaining to a few people Wei Ruo went back to the carriage to get her things.

After waiting for Wei Ruo to enter the carriage, Yuan Wangyuan patted Xu Fengyuan’s shoulder, who had been silent the entire time, with a smile on his face, “Brother Xu, you still need to speak if you have something to say, don’t smother yourself.”

“I have nothing to say.” Xu Feng Yuan said.

“Brother Xu, your mouth can deceive people, but the way you just looked at the big girl of the Wei family can’t fool anyone.” Yuan Wangyuan demolished.

“Brother Yuan, I’ll find a few rocks to act as seats while you place our horses.”

Xu Fengyuan digressed, then handed Yuan Wangyuan the reins of his own mount and walked away immediately afterward.

Yuan Wangyuan shook his head helplessly with a smile, then his gaze fell back on Wei Yi-chen, who was also silent.

Strange to say, this Xu Fengyuan saw the Wei family big girl less words extenuating circumstances, why Wei Yi-chen also similarly silent?

Obviously they are siblings, but they don’t look very familiar, Wei Yi Chen and Big Miss Wei don’t look as familiar as Lu Yuhong is with her.

Not long after, Xu Fengyuan moved the stones and the horses were placed around the shed.

After the crowd sat on the rocks and roasted over the fire for a while, a tantalizing aroma wafted from the steaming pot.

Lu Yuhong was the first to press on, sniffing the aroma of the food while asking Wei Ruo, who had just gotten off the carriage:

“Big girl, what are you cooking in this pot? Why does it smell so good?”

“Mutton soup, it’s freezing cold, drinking mutton soup can warm you up.” Wei Ruo replied.

“It smells so good! My stomach is rumbling.” Lu Yuhong said.

“That must be because you’re hungry, Mr. Lu.” Wei Ruo said.

“It’s not true that I’m hungry, we haven’t eaten anything since morning, but it’s also not true at all that this broth of yours smells good.” Lu Yuhong commented.

Yuan Wangyuan on the side teased, “You can’t help but steal food, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Yuhong didn’t have the heart to say, “You can put your mind at ease, I will definitely not move until the eldest girl says it’s ready to eat. Moving chopsticks before the food is cooked is disrespectful to the food.”

Wei Ruo smiled, then handed Lu Yuhong a cloth bag that she had taken out of the car.

“You guys take this and roast it on the fire pit to warm it up, and eat it with the mutton soup later.” Wei Ruo said.

Lu Yuhong opened the cloth bag and saw that it was filled with pastries bigger than the plates of their faces.

A few people didn’t hesitate and took one each.

While a few people were roasting the fire, Xiu Mei brought out a few more cloaks and blankets to distribute to a few people.

“Although these cloaks are women’s style, they are all new and have not been worn by anyone, so if a few gentlemen don’t mind, put them on and they can warm up a bit.” Wei Ruo added.

Without politeness or hesitation, several people took one each and wrapped it around their bodies.

It was still a bit more important to be alive than to be polite and honorable.

With the cloak and blanket to protect them from the cold and the fire pit to keep them warm, the six felt much warmer.

After a while, the mutton soup was ready, Wei Ruo gave each person a bowl of soup, and each bowl was filled with two large pieces of mutton.

Seeing the bowls and chopsticks Wei Ruoxin took out, Lu Yuhong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “Big girl you’ve got a really complete set of things with you in this car.”

“From time to time, I go out to the open ground, where there is a lack of supplies, so I’m used to bringing a complete set.” Wei Ruo explained.

In fact, not all of these things were brought on the carriage, and the carriage was limited in space even if it was large, so it was impossible to bring such a complete set of things.

Especially if it’s something that doesn’t keep well like mutton, which goes bad within a few days of being put on a wagon.

“Big Miss had the foresight! It is thanks to Big Miss that we are able to keep warm from the cold today.” Yuan Wangyuan said.

Wei Ruo smiled, “Drink it while it’s hot.”

A few people didn’t make themselves at home and drank it while it was hot.

I don’t know if it was because they were too hungry, or if the goat soup Wei Ruo cooked was just better than the ones from elsewhere, but several people’s faces showed a look of stunning satisfaction.

“Big girl, this lamb soup of yours is also too good, it’s the best lamb soup I’ve had so far! And this cake, it also smells better than the cakes elsewhere!” Lu Yuhong let out a gasp.
