Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Five
Gu Ye followed his line of sight and saw a group of hog deer walking slowly in the forest. Not far away, several bamboo chickens lowered their heads and pecked at the grass seeds and small wild fruits on the ground. On a big tree on the right, a black-browed brocade snake with thick wrists was gliding between the tree trunks...
The corner of Gu Ye's mouth twitched, and he looked away: "Snake soup is fine, roast venison and bamboo chicken soup are both good, a little tangled..."
"Children only do multiple-choice questions, and adults naturally want all of them!" Ling Juechen took off two leaves and waved his hand lightly. The bamboo chicken and a newly grown hog deer fell down, scaring the other hog deer. He and the bamboo chicken fled in all directions.
Gu Ye asked her husband to take her down and put the two prey into the space. This mountain forest is connected with the miasma forest, very few people come in to hunt, the prey is fat, there are many kinds, and the quantity is abundant. There are many that Gu Ye has never seen before. In the previous life, these were first-class protected animals!
"What is that? A big lynx?" Gu Ye pointed to a pair of sparkling eyes on a certain tree. In the dim light, he squinted his eyes to identify it. It should be a beautiful cat.
Ling Juechen took a look and said, "The clouded leopard is the smallest animal in the subfamily Leopardae. Do you want to eat leopard meat?"
Gu Ye shook his head, and said: "It is recorded in "Bie Lu": Leopard meat is sour, flat, non-toxic, and can be used as medicine. It has the functions of regulating the five internal organs, nourishing injuries, and nourishing qi. If it has a sour taste, I am afraid the taste is not good. It will be very good. I was thinking of our Xiaomo alone... It’s not that a leopard is too lonely, it’s not bad to find a companion for it!”
Shi Tian, who was lying lazily in the space, suddenly sneezed, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart—could it be that the hostess was going to toss it again?
Ling Juechen said with a smile: "Shitian is not an ordinary leopard, it always thinks highly of itself. If you throw a leopard over, it will definitely think it is food from you, and it will kill it and eat it right away, believe it or not ?”
"Okay! Then let this poor clouded leopard go!" Gu Ye looked away regretfully. What a beautiful clouded leopard, and the pattern on the body is also very special - perfect for a leopard coat...
The clouded leopard, whose fur was missed, seemed to have foreseen the coming danger, and jumped down from the tree with a whoosh, and disappeared into the dark dense forest after a few jumps.
Ling Juechen shot a few hazel pheasants and pheasants, and finally returned to Luna's small tribe before the sky completely darkened.
They went there for a whole day, worrying Princess Linlang very much. Although the little genius doctor has excellent medical skills, he has never been exposed to miasma poison after all. King Ning is also the minister of the Yan Kingdom, if something happens to the couple in the Sen Kingdom, the peace they just negotiated will come to naught.
And the post-treatment and recuperation of the prince's younger brother will also be interrupted because of this-this will definitely have an impact on the physical recovery of the prince's younger brother.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Luna and the patriarch also became anxious. They who have lived in the mountains for a long time know that the old forest in the night is even more terrifying!
Princess Linlang glanced at the setting sun that had disappeared behind the mountain, and said to the two guards: "Come on, let's go to the forest to meet them. If you haven't found them after an hour, let your father send troops over——" If you want to see people, if you want to die, you need to see corpses!"
"What do you send soldiers for? What's the meaning of 'You need to see people when you're alive, and you need to see corpses when you're dead'? Just to cure your younger brother's illness, you crossed the river and demolished the bridge?" Gu Ye's voice came from the twilight. The figures of the couple appeared in the direction of the village entrance.
Princess Linlang heaved a sigh of relief. She had been recovering from the injury for more than a month in Prince Ning's Mansion. Knowing Gu Ye's temper, she greeted Gu Ye with a smile and said, "How can it be! The prince's younger brother still needs to be recuperated. How can I be short of you, the little genius doctor! I'm not I'm worried that something will happen to you! However, my worries are obviously superfluous..."
After speaking, he glanced at the prey in Ling Juechen's hand. Did the couple go hunting or to investigate the miasma?
Ling Juechen threw the prey to Luna's aunt - her cooking skills are not bad, at least his picky daughter-in-law can eat it.
Gu Yezhi went straight into the ward of the Kenkun father and son, checked the condition of the two, and they were still stable. Luna said gratefully from the side: "Abba and the others have taken the pills given by the little doctor, and their condition has not deteriorated... Little doctor, have you picked any useful herbs?"
"Well! The antidote can be made tonight!" Gu Ye gave Luna two pills and asked her to feed them to the two patients. The Kenkun father and son should have only reached the periphery of the miasma, and they didn't inhale much poisonous gas, otherwise they wouldn't be able to last until Luna found her.
Her father and brother were saved, and Luna's tense nerves finally relaxed. She hugged A Niang and cried hard, venting all the worries and fears of the past few days.
Luna has two little nephews, one is four years old and the other is two years old, who just can walk. The Kenkun father and son are not only good at collecting herbs, but also good at hunting, and they bring some prey home from time to time. The big prey is carried down the mountain and sold for money, and the small prey is kept for the family to fight teeth.
Children don't understand the meaning of death. They only know that their grandma, aunt and mother are always crying recently, and their grandfather and father are lying on the bed and falling asleep. Children are sensitive, and they also feel the changes in the mood of Auntie and Grandma at night.
Therefore, when the two little guys saw pheasants and hares, they turned around the prey cautiously they had been in the past two days.
The older child pointed at the pig deer and said, "Mother, sell money to see a doctor for grandpa and daddy!"
Luna's sister-in-law glanced in Ling Juechen's direction, and whispered, "These prey were brought back by the nobles. They have the final say on how to deal with them."
The smaller one has already started to attack the prey. He was carrying a pheasant weighing about one catty, dragging it with difficulty, and staggering towards his aunt, he said in an unclear voice, "Mother, meat, eat meat!"
Grandpa and daddy have been lying on the bed for several days, the little guy has not eaten meat porridge for several days, and the gluttons in his belly have already started to make noise!
Gu Ye grabbed the little guy by his collar the moment he fell. She looked at the embarrassing Aunt Luna, and said to her, "One is stewed in soup, and two are braised in soy sauce. Is there any chili pepper? Put more spicy in one serving, and leave one serving alone!"
She said to the patriarch again: "It's not easy to preserve the meat in this weather, the deer will be packed in a while, and the patriarch will bring a few catties back..."
The patriarch shook his hands again and again, and said: "The nobleman has worked so hard to treat the diseases of the clansmen. We are already very guilty for not being able to give precious rewards. How can we take things from the nobleman?"
"We don't have many people, we can't finish it, what a pity to let it go bad?" Gu Ye watched his husband skillfully decompose the venison, took a large piece, wrapped it in leaves, and stuffed it to the patriarch. He could take them to the miasma forest at the risk of disregarding his mother-in-law's obstruction, which is considered righteous. Gu Ye appreciates this kind of behavior of giving charcoal in a timely manner.
The patriarch was still embarrassed to accept it: "If the nobleman is afraid of spoiling it, I can ask my family to help me make venison jerky. The people in our village can still do all kinds of meat jerky."
When Gu Ye heard this, he brought over half of the venison, and said bluntly: "In this case, I will trouble the patriarch and your family. These venisons are made into dried meat, and the piece given to you will be treated as meat." It's a thank you!"
"No...no need!" The patriarch didn't expect the nobleman to be so polite. Luna is really lucky, she met a kind person with a kind heart!
"Take it! If you don't accept it, how can I bother you again?" Gu Ye tasted the jerky meat that Luna's house entertained distinguished guests. The taste is better than the jerky in the most famous snack shop in Shengjing.
The patriarch refused, but asked his son to come and carry the venison back. His son and daughter-in-law are all good at making meat jerky, so let's put the rest aside for now, and must make venison jerky before the nobles leave.
The meal in the evening was very sumptuous, not only stewed chicken soup and fried chicken nuggets, but Luna's aunt also entertained the guests with mountain delicacies collected at home - matsutake mushrooms and porcini mushrooms. Her craftsmanship is good, and Gu Ye is very satisfied with the food.
Fresh venison, cut into thin slices, grilled on an iron plate, sprinkled with Gu Ye's secret seasoning, the taste is absolutely undeniable. Even the two little guys ate several pieces!
Princess Linlang couldn't help sighing: No matter what the environment, the little genius doctor will never treat her tongue badly. What's more, there is a good man beside him who obeys his wife's orders!
Glancing at King Ning who bowed his head to barbecue for his wife, Princess Linlang couldn't help but think of her own marriage. She knows that her father intends to match her with the national teacher. There is nothing to say about the external conditions of the national teacher, which girl does not like a beautiful appearance? What's more, he has outstanding talents and excellent abilities?
Originally, Princess Linlang still had expectations for this marriage. However, seeing the way Ning Wang and the little genius doctor got along, she hesitated again. King Ning used to be such a cold and incomprehensible person, but in front of the little genius doctor, he turned into soft fingers, wishing to stick to his wife all the time. Just like now, when King Ning looked at the little miracle doctor, he could almost drip water...
Think about the attitude of Master Guoshi when he faced her... I thought that Master Guoshi was indifferent and not good at expressing his emotions, but in fact it was not the case, she could no longer deceive herself—the Master Guoshi did not see her at all ! Even if this marriage is forcibly brokered by her father, will she be happy?
Before, she didn't know what kind of marriage she wanted. Now, she is very clear that that person must have her in his heart...
"What are you thinking about? So focused?" Gu Ye was full and asked casually when she saw Princess Linlang staring at the iron plate of the barbecue.
Princess Linlang looked up at her, and couldn't help asking: "Little genius doctor, if you are not married now, will you marry him because of his good looks and high status?"
Ling Juechen looked up at her unhappily, what do you mean by that? When his little genius doctor's husband is dead?
Gu Ye laughed and said, "Good-looking? How good-looking? Is it better-looking than my prince? If that's the case, I'll think about it for a few seconds... Hey, why did you bite me?"
