Brothers Meng Haowen and Meng Haowu stepped into the forest, and before they knew it, the sky was gradually getting brighter.
The morning sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and onto the moist soil, filling the air with a fresh scent.
The two brothers embarked on a winding path deep in the woods and continued their quest to find herbs.
"Do you think we still need to search? Maybe that woman has left." Meng Haowen was impatient and continued to search.
Meng Haowu said, "Of course I'm looking for her. Don't worry, that woman will never leave like this."
"It seems that you really know her well, or rather, you know women well, and you are worthy of being married."
Hearing that he was still thinking of teasing himself at this time, Meng Haowu smiled and shook his head, "Brother, why are you becoming a little negative now? It seems that you are a little different from the people I used to know."
When Meng Haowen heard what he said, he couldn't help but be startled, and immediately smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? What can I do differently? I'm still the same."
"Okay, let's go and look for it quickly."
They walked into the depths of the woods, surrounded by big trees, and the sun shone through the leaves on the ground, forming a mottled light and shadow.
The birds in the forest were singing happily, and the two brothers moved forward cautiously, with Meng Haowu leading the way and Meng Haowen following closely behind.
They are constantly paying attention to the plants around them, especially those grass blades with special shapes and colors.
Meng Haowu has an amazing ability to identify herbs. He can accurately determine which herbs are useful and which are poisonous.
Whenever they discover a new herbal medicine, Meng Haowen will carefully record it for future use.
Suddenly, Meng Haowu stopped and saw a plant with green leaves.
This plant has oval leaves with small serrations on the edges. It is an herb used to treat wounds.
Meng Haowu carefully dug out the herbs and handed them to Meng Haowen. Meng Haowen looked at the herbs seriously and nodded.
Meng Haowen couldn't help but smile and said: "I have always heard from the general that you are very good at identifying herbal medicines, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes. It is indeed amazing."
"Brother, are you trying to insult me?"
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, then continued to move forward.
After collecting the herbs, they decided to end their search.
They followed the original path and returned to the river. Sure enough, as Meng Haowu said, Chickweed was still waiting there.
Chickweed's eyes fell on the two Meng Haowu brothers, and for a moment, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.
Looking at their figures walking side by side, she couldn't help but smile, like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.
Her heartbeat seemed to speed up, and deep down, she knew she had made the right bet.
Looking at the two Meng Haowu brothers, her heart was filled with satisfaction.
But thinking about them saying they wanted to go back to the General's Mansion, she suddenly felt unhappy. After all, she couldn't go back yet.
Meng Haowu took the herb out of his arms and handed it to Chickweed.
Chew this yourself, then apply it on the wound, and it will be cured soon.
Chickweed frowned slightly and said, "Do you want me to do it myself?"
Hearing her question, Meng Haowu couldn't help but frown, walked to her and knelt down and asked, "Do you mean you want me or my elder brother to do it for you?
You are a girl after all. Do you want to let men see your body? "
Meng Haowu's words struck her as if they had a thorn in her heart.
"Vice General Wu, you don't have to speak so harshly, but what should I do with my hand?"
Without saying a word, Meng Haowu reached up and pulled the clothes off her arms.
The sudden chill made Chickweed startled.
She suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu. At that moment
, her whole heart was pulled together.
Before he could take any further action, Chickweed pushed Meng Haowu to the ground. ap.
Meng Haowu was a little confused at that moment. He stood up and yelled, "Are you sick? I give you medicine, and you treat me like this?"
This roar made Chickweed regain her mind. When she saw Meng Haowu with an angry face, she immediately understood what she had done.
Chickweed suddenly woke up from her reverie and realized her gaffe.
A feeling of deep guilt instantly surged through Chickweed's heart. She knew how inappropriate her behavior just now was, and how she could let her emotions get so out of control.
She took a deep breath, then straightened up and said in as sincere a tone as possible: "Vice General Wu, I'm very sorry. My behavior just now was so rude. I apologize to you."
Seeing her repeating this, Meng Haowu felt helpless and shook his head, "Forget it, apply the medicine quickly, we have to leave for the road later."
"Vice General Wu, are we really going back to the General's Mansion?"
"What else? Or do you have somewhere to go?"
Chickweed's eyes twinkled, with a hint of guilt on his face, and then he said: "No, how could it be? Where can I go? Back to the General's Mansion.
However, what I am thinking is that maybe you two brothers still have something important to do, so if it is really not particularly convenient, I can go back by myself, so I won't waste your time. "
There was a hint of cowardice in her words.
When Meng Haowen heard what she said, he turned to look at Meng Haowu, and saw that he seemed to have a plan in mind.
Brothers Meng Haowu and Meng Haowen set out on the road together with Chickweed.
And whenever night falls, the three of them will sit around the campfire and look at the stars in the sky together.
At this time, Meng Haowu said directly: "Looking at this speed, we should be able to return to the border town tomorrow. We haven't been back for a while, and we are a little worried."
As soon as his words came out, Meng Haowen couldn't help but smile and said, "I think you miss your family."
"Why, could it be possible that you allowed it? I'll be honest with you, I really wanted to."
While the two brothers were talking, they kept looking at Chickweed.
She looked up at the stars, as if she was very leisurely and contented, but it was not difficult to see that she had something on her mind.
In the past few days, she seemed to always bring up the idea of walking separately from them from time to time.
Although it is not said clearly, it is still not difficult to hear.
Meng Haowen glanced at the two of them, and then said, "I'll go get some food and come back."
With that said, he left.
Meng Haowu looked at his leaving figure and took the initiative to chat with Chickweed.
"I still feel a little strange why you left the General's Mansion. All along, I thought you would never leave in this life."
Chickweed smiled and said, "I used to think so, but, hey, forget it, telling you won't help."
Meng Haowu instantly understood that what she wanted to say was nothing more than Mi Yue driving her out.
"Vice General Wu, it's not that I want to sow discord, but I really don't understand how you could really marry her."
"I really didn't think about this at first, but when I heard such words coming from other people's mouths, I felt so unhappy."
As soon as he heard what he said, Chickweed already knew that his thoughts were wrong.
After thinking about it for a while, Chickweed took the opportunity to say: "Vice General Wu, I thought about it carefully and decided not to go back with you.
After all, there is no room for me in the general's mansion now. Previously, I could still rely on my mother and sister, but now I am the only one left. Even if I really go back, it is just... It's just to make people laugh. "
The corners of Meng Haowu's mouth raised slightly, thinking that she would eventually
Yu still spoke.
"If it's because of Mi Yue, I'll apologize to you on her behalf. She's short-sighted, so don't argue with her. After I go back this time, I'll talk to her properly."
Chickweed looked at his serious expression and thought, maybe he really wanted to go back to the General's Mansion.
At this time, they all saw Meng Haowen coming back with a pheasant in his hand.
So they started getting busy, preparing to roast pheasants.
They found firewood and dead leaves, wrapped the pheasants in dead leaves, and then covered them with firewood.
They found a spacious place and built a fire. As the flames licked the wood, they placed the wrapped pheasants on the flames. The aroma of roasted pheasants soon filled the air.
Meng Haowen flipped the pheasant from time to time to let it cook evenly.
They know the pheasant is ready when they see it turn golden.
Meng Haowen took the pheasant out of the fire and gently tore open the firewood and dead leaves outside.
He first tore off a chicken leg and handed it directly to Meng Haowu, and then handed the other one to Chickweed.
Chickweed felt a little shocked the moment she took it.
Meng Haowen watched them all eat, and then he tore some off and stuffed them into his mouth.
The three of them enjoyed the delicious pheasant together, and time seemed to pass quickly.
After eating, looking at the chicken bones next to the fire, Meng Haowen picked them up without hesitation, then turned and walked into the forest.
Chickweed looked at his back with some curiosity, and then heard Meng Haowu say: "If you put it here, there might be wild beasts."
Hearing this, Chickweed couldn't help but tremble in fear.
Although I didn't have much communication with the two brothers before, I still knew what they were like.
It felt good to have their care along the way.
If it weren't for those unsightly things that happened, maybe she would really go back to the General's Mansion with them.
After a short while, I saw Meng Haowen coming back in a hurry.
He looked at the two of them warily and said eagerly: "Pack your things quickly and hide them first, someone is coming."
Although Chickweed didn't know what was going on, her intuition told her that something must have happened.
