Everyone encouraged and supported each other. We were exhausted when we arrived at the village. Chen Bin even showed signs of fever. What was worse was that most of the men in the village had gone out to fight in the army because of the turbulent life for too long.
Wen Yi inquired about the hut where the whole family was gone and settled in it. After briefly tidying it up, he let Chen Bin rest. They had no clothes, food, quilts, and no money.
But it’s nice to think about not having to sleep on the street!
When Mrs. Chen saw the hut with only two beds and air leakage everywhere, she sighed heavily. Wen Yi said: "Old madam, it will be fine. I will go find some food first. I will have enough to have strength!"
After saying that, he turned around and left. After asking around, he found the mountains where farmers in the village hunted. Fortunately, there was no environmental pollution or deforestation in this era. There were many animals in the forest.
It's just that these little guys are very fast, which is different from domestic ones, but this is not difficult for Wen Yi.
A few hours later, Wen Yi looked at the three rabbits in her hands and felt that her body was still too weak. When she went down the mountain, she met Da Zhuang, who had told her that she could hunt on the mountain.
The villagers here were warm-hearted. When they learned that Wen Yi's family had a patient who was in urgent need of money, they told her that there was someone in the next village who specialized in hunting prey, and even took her there personally.
Three rabbits cost three taels of silver. Wen Yi carefully asked the butcher's family what kind of prey they were harvesting, and then followed Brother Da Zhuang back to the village. On the way, Da Zhuang hired a doctor for Chen Bin. Wen Yi also bought some clothes, rice and noodles. Quilt!
This era may be poor and the conditions are not good, but the people are simple, kind and enthusiastic. It's not like her where everyone is for himself and everything must be profitable, which is disappointing.
Back at the hut, Chen Bin indeed had a fever. The doctor said he was too injured and couldn't see, so he simply prescribed some antipyretic medicine and left.
Wen Yi put the food in the house. Thinking that there were anti-inflammatory herbs on the mountain, he went out to pick them again. When he hurried back, it was already dark. When he saw Chen Ping and the old lady, he realized that they had not been there all day. It’s time to eat.
Wen Yi was used to being hungry and cold in the last days. Now he quickly cooked some porridge. It was not difficult for Wen Yi to make a fire to cook, but Chen Ping and the old lady were stunned. "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome and can do everything." !”
Wen Yi smiled and said, "Eat quickly, are you hungry?"
While they were eating, Wen Yi quickly cooked the herbs and picked up a bowl of porridge to see Chen Bin.
The old lady stopped her and said, "You should eat first and then go back. We just came from Bin'er and the fever is gone. It's okay. We're not in a hurry."
As he spoke, he pushed Wen Yi hard onto the stone bench, picked up a bowl of porridge, put it in her hand, and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work."
Seeing the things in this house, including food and drink, although Wen Yi said it lightly, how could she not know the hardships involved, not to mention she was still a girl!
Looking at the expression on the old lady's face, Wen Yi knew what she was thinking. She wanted to say that it was okay, it was just hunting, it was commonplace for her, but he was afraid that she would think that she was forcing a smile, and she immediately felt a headache.
After eating, she went to see Chen Bin. His condition was very bad. She felt sad: "Chen Bin, there are no doctors with skilled medical skills here. There are only ordinary herbal medicines. You have to hold on. You still have your mother and you." You want to protect your brother, but are you really willing to fall down like this despite being wronged? Only when you wake up can you have hope and be qualified to fight! Do you hear me?"
At night, Wen Yi arranged for Chen Ping to rest with the old lady, and he guarded Chen Bin. Fortunately, he brought a few extra quilts with him during the day, otherwise he would have been frozen.
Drowsily, Wen Yi felt someone touching her forehead. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Bin looking at her quietly. Wen Yi quickly touched his forehead and smiled: "Chen Bin, are you okay? Drink the porridge. Bar."
When it felt cold, I quickly thought about heating it up. Unexpectedly, Chen Bin drank it all as soon as he picked it up. His expression seemed to say, it's good to have it. What's the point of being cold?
Seeing that he was in good spirits, Wen Yi told him what happened yesterday! When he heard that she had hunted a rabbit, he paused and said, "Wen Yike is so awesome!"
For some reason, her face felt warm! However, she still told him her concerns: "I originally wanted to hunt some other animals today. I wanted to look for them, but I was afraid that they would attract too much attention. Chen Ping is still young and needs nutritional supplements. I ate some porridge yesterday. If this continues, he won’t be able to bear it.”
Chen Bin was silent for a while after hearing this: "Wen Yi, I understand, you just do what you want to do, I will take care of the rest, I have other arrangements, we will be fine."
Wen Yi was very happy after hearing this. She knew how Chen Bin could be willing to do this. During this time, she heard Chen Ping talk a lot about the past of the General's Mansion.
Knowing that Chen Bin's military power has not yet been handed over to the imperial court, what kind of existence is a border general who holds military power in this era?
If the emperor wanted to deal with him, wouldn't he only dare to trick him back from the border? Wen Yi was very happy when she thought about being hugged by her thighs here in the future. She had to take good care of Chen Bin, and she might be able to become a princess in the future.
Of course, when she first took care of Chen Bin, she just admired him. Now she is even more happy knowing that Chen Bin will bring her a better life in the future.
Wen Yi repeatedly told him to have a good rest and then went hunting in the back mountain. Today she was not satisfied with wandering at the foot of the mountain. She walked towards the center of the mountain. As expected, there were much more prey inside than below.
Unfortunately, her body speed was not good enough. One of the hyenas she was looking for ran away, and she only shot a few rabbits.
When I got home at noon, I saw the old lady cleaning up the room and dishes. Wen Yi was afraid that she would be broken and hurried forward to help.
The old lady said: "Except for Chen Ping, Chen Bin and I can do these jobs. We used to live with the old general at the border. The conditions there were difficult and we had to do everything by ourselves. It's just that we haven't done anything in the past few years. Worry!"
Wen Yi felt relieved when she heard that, as long as she knew how to do it, she hurriedly took out the rabbits, killed one to eat for lunch, and put the others away to sell in the afternoon. Only with money in hand could she feel safe.
Wen Yi made a fire to cook rice and roast rabbit meat. There was no oil at home, so Wen Yi put the oil on the rabbit into the pan and fried it. When the oil came out, he added the rabbit meat.
Yesterday, she only bought some salt and no condiments. However, she had eaten boiled meat before. As long as it was full, she stir-fried it and added water to cook it. This was her usual cooking style.
After serving it to the table, Wen Yi helped Chen Bin to the table to eat. Wen Yi said sheepishly: "I can only cook them well. As for the color and aroma, I can't guarantee them. How about you make do with it? I'm not very good at cooking." .”
Chen Ping hurriedly said: "It smells delicious. Why does my sister-in-law say she can't cook?" The old lady also said: "It's delicious."
Wen Yi took a bite and felt it was okay. She looked at Chen Bin who was silent and thought he found it unpleasant, so she quickly said: "I will sell the rabbit in the afternoon and buy some seasonings to cook it next time." , just eat more first, and you will recover faster when you are full."
Chen Bin originally felt that Wen Yi was like a shining gem, no matter how beautiful she looked, it was hard for him not to be tempted by such a girl who could be both civil and military with her day and night.
He was so excited that he didn't dare to look at her. Unexpectedly, she misunderstood him, and he panicked: "Wen Yi, do you know why a rabbit can be sold for one tael of silver?"
Seeing her puzzled look, "Because there are almost no people in the village who can eat meat now. Although everyone goes hunting, they rarely catch anything. In this era, everyone is busy farming and doing hard work, so how can they have time?" How about learning archery and hunting? Nowadays we almost dig wild vegetables to eat, and the meal we had is already very good."
After hearing this, Wen Yi said: "I don't know how to shoot. I saw a hyena today and let it run away. I caught the rabbit."
Chen Bin choked and then thought of Wen Yi's weird movement skills and speed. After thinking for a while, he said: "You can find out where bows and arrows are sold this afternoon and buy one. I will go with you next time."
