The old patriarch made up his mind to keep it a secret, but Zhu Yuanyuan made irresponsible guesses, and the conversation between the old man and the young man fell apart without any surprise.
So after changing the dressing, Zhu Yuanyuan pouted and said that she would go to the woods to collect herbs. The reason was very good. "Master said that there are not many commonly used herbs, so let me collect more."
Zhu He was unhappy, "What should I do?"
"Cold salad," Zhu Yuanyuan carried the bamboo medicine box down the earthen stairs. She turned around when she reached the end, looked up at the stubborn old man and said, "Don't think I don't know. The patriarch called a few kids to play with you during the day."
As for the work of curing the meat, someone else would do it, and she didn't need her help.
The old patriarch is the treasure of the clan, and the patriarch will make clear arrangements for matters related to him.
Zhu Yuanyuan's expectation was good. Before the snow season came, the old patriarch moved next door to her house.
According to the patriarch Zhu Shan, "The old patriarch is injured and needs someone to take care of him. It just so happens that the great witch is also a human being and the cave is big enough to accommodate him."
Zhu Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up, "Yes, the patriarch has great ideas."
I just don’t know how Master feels.
Of course Hu Yin was not in a very good mood. He liked to be clean and do whatever he wanted when he was alone, without having to worry about other people.
But the old patriarch was seriously injured in the beast wave and almost lost his life. Even if he was rescued, he had to take good care of him. The wound had to be dressed the next day. It was difficult to go out in the snow season, so it was really more convenient to live with him.
If it was another orc, he would give some medicine and let him go home and change it himself. The old patriarch was different. When he came out of the Black Pig Tribe, he received a lot of help from the old patriarch.
To Hu Yin, the old patriarch is like an elder and should be taken care of within his ability.
Therefore, Zhu He successfully moved into Dawu's home and became a neighbor of Zhu Yuanyuan's family.
"Bad girl," Zhu He sat at the entrance of the cave next door and smiled proudly, "If you don't like to talk to me, I will come to you, how about that?"
"Very good," Zhu Yuanyuan corrected seriously, "It's not that I don't like to see you, it's just that I don't have time. My master asked me to collect medicine."
Zhu He frowned, "He won't go by himself? I'll have to talk to him later."
"No, no, no, master is too old and doesn't like to move." Zhu Yuanyuan is a considerate and good apprentice.
Hu Yin, who came out after hearing the commotion, almost had a heart attack. The unfilial apprentice was messing with him again. He was angry!
"Yuanyuan," Hu Yin said coldly, "When will the hemostatic grass I asked you to pick be available? Don't go hunting all the time. There is a hunting team here, so you won't be hungry."
"Ah, I'll go right away," Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly walked out carrying a small bamboo basket, "Master, don't worry, I will still find styptic grass even if I don't eat at noon."
Hu Yin frowned, "I didn't deny you food..."
"Yes, yes, master, you are so kind, how could you be willing to starve me," Zhu Yuanyuan forced out a flattering smile.
Zhu He looked at Da Wu with a strange look, "Ah Yin~"
"Uncle He, I can explain it," Hu Yin said dryly, but did not continue.
Suddenly I found that I didn’t know where to start explaining.
"You don't need to say anything," Zhu He sighed, "This kid Yuanyuan has been a ghost since he was a child, and it's even worse after he learned his skills from you. He has his own way of trying to bully people."
"Uncle He is right," Hu Yin couldn't agree more.
The two of them exchanged words with each other and began to crusade against the evil deeds of a certain black-hearted little female.
Zhu Yuanyuan was dumbfounded. There seemed to be something wrong with this development.
The situation is not good, retreat quickly!
I turned around and ran away, feeling that it would be worse if I stayed here any longer.
The master was already giving people a headache, and with the stubborn old man, the trouble index doubled instantly, and she almost wanted to move.
After wandering in the woods for a whole day, I collected half a basket of styptic grass, picked some wild fruits, and caught two pheasants. Seeing nightfall, I set out on my return journey with a grimace.
Alas, whenever she thought of the two giant Buddhas living next door, she had the urge to sleep in the forest.
Unfortunately not.
Zhu Yuanyuan knew that if she did not go back before the sun went down, the clan members would soon come out to look for the person. When they found the person, she would be greeted by a mixed doubles of her father and mother.
So she can't be willful.
After sluggishly returning home, I found that the old patriarch was not guarding the door. Then I breathed a long sigh of relief, my heart that was hanging in the air returned to its original place, and I rushed through the door.
After processing the picked herbs and preparing the ingredients for the evening, I sat down to rest until my legs became weak from exhaustion.
Zhu Yuanyuan killed a chicken and stewed a pot of soup, and roasted a few potatoes. Not long after, the aroma of chicken soup filled the air. Just as he was preparing to barbecue, a familiar call came from outside the door.
"Bad girl, did you stew chicken soup?" Zhu He said in a loud voice, "Bring me and your master two bowls later."
Zhu Yuanyuan was embarrassed. Although it was necessary to show filial piety to one's elders, there was no way he could directly ask for it.
The stubborn old man is so thick-skinned!
I cursed in my heart, but still agreed loudly, "Okay, I'll give it to you when it's cooked."
"Don't forget to bring some barbecue and two baked potatoes," Zhu He said, knowing how to push the envelope. "Just enough to fill our bellies."
Zhu Yuanyuan gritted her teeth. If it weren't for the stubborn old man's age, she would have cursed him.
After the meat was roasted, he packed two portions and sent them to the next door as requested. In exchange, he got a small half fan of mutated wild boar meat, and his eyes widened instantly.
"This, this, this," Zhu Yuanyuan hurriedly waved her hands to refuse, "I can't have it."
"Take it, can I still take advantage of your family?" Zhu He insisted on giving it, "This is your reward for helping with the cooking."
Zhu Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, it's too much. Besides, it's nothing to give you a meal. My father will beat me if I take this meat back."
"Take it as you are told, don't talk so much nonsense," Hu Yin said impatiently, "Uncle He said that the soup and grilled meat you cooked are delicious. If you want to join us, the meat divided by the clan will be sent directly to your home. go."
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." This is the rhythm of treating her as a cook!
Secretly thinking about the feasibility of refusing, the result was zero, so he happily returned with half a fan of wild boar meat.
You only need to cook for two more people to get a lot of meat, and you can also get a reputation of being filial to your elders. Why not?
Zhu Yuanyuan was right. After the news spread, not only did the tribesmen praise her for her filial piety when they met, they even looked good on the female of the Flying Tiger tribe who didn't like her.
Gee, this can be considered an unexpected surprise.
Then it triggered a chain reaction, and the neighbor who lived on the other side of Zhu Yuanyuan’s house also asked to join her. The reason was very good, "My granddaughter cooks delicious food and lives close by, so it’s a good idea to eat together."
That's right, her grandparents live in the cave on the left side of her house, and her master and the old patriarch live in the cave on the right side. They are all elders with a close relationship.
I couldn't afford to offend anyone, so we all just agreed that it was just a matter of spending more time cooking, it wasn't a big deal.
When the snow season comes, it takes patience for the family to stay in the cave grinding bone grass to make stone pots, which is not as enjoyable as cooking.
For the sake of convenience, Dad Zhu specially opened up the left and right sides and installed wooden doors. He could leave the door open during the day and close it during the night, which would not affect anything.
