Su Rong didn't expect him anymore after hearing this. It was normal for Young Master Zhou to have never done such a job.
She answered his earlier question, "Haven't you seen me fishing? Catching pheasants is similar to fishing, except that as long as they see me, they can't escape my grasp."
Zhou Gu thought back to Su Rong's fishing. It was true that he was quick and accurate. He was speechless. He stood aside and watched for a while, then squatted down and said, "It doesn't seem difficult to pluck chicken feathers. I'll join you too." ?”
"Okay."
So Zhou Gu rolled up his sleeves and imitated Su Rong's example. The two of them squatted together and plucked the chicken feathers. After a while, he had plucked the pheasant's buttocks.
The guards who followed Zhou Gu out of the Protector's Mansion today looked at the two people from a distance, with their eyes widened and shock on their faces.
Who will tell them that their young master is doing such a thing? Their young master, from childhood to adulthood, learned the Six Arts of a Gentleman and played with elegance and fun. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought or believed that he would squat on the ground and pull out chicken feathers?
Su Rong suddenly remembered something and said to Zhou Gu: "You have to tell the guards who are following you to find food by themselves."
Zhou Gu turned his head and took a look, and when he saw the stunned faces, he paused and waved his hands, "You go find your own food. These two chickens are not for you."
The guards woke up and nodded in unison. They didn't dare to ask for their share of the two chickens.
Su Rong watched the guards arrange for a few people to go find food, while the remaining people stayed in place. She whispered to Zhou Gu: "Are these your own people, or people from the Duke Protector's Palace?"
"Is there any difference?"
"Yes." Su Rong said very seriously, "If you are your own people, can you hide the things I did with you from them? If you are people from the Protector's Palace, after you return, they will Will they all be shaken out for me?"
When marrying a wife in a high-level mansion, she will definitely like a lady who is gentle and courteous. She has no advantage in terms of status, and she does not look like a lady, so she will definitely be disliked, even if the old protector wants to fulfill the engagement again. , Princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife won't do it either, right?
Zhou Gu paused when he heard this, "They are from the Duke Protector's Palace."
Su Rong sighed, it seemed like there was no chance.
"Don't you think you can't do it? Why are you bothering with this?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows.
Su Rong took a breath. She felt that it was not good for her to marry into the Duke Protector's Palace. She couldn't pretend to be in front of Princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife for the rest of her life. But wasn't this because he was too popular to look at? She couldn't suppress her flames.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Gu didn't know what she was thinking. He just felt that her mind was erratic and fickle. She seemed like she didn't care, but she seemed to care a little. He clicked his tongue in his heart and stopped paying attention. she.
Su Rong finished plucking the chicken feathers neatly and reached for the dagger on her body. She suddenly paused and asked Zhou Gu, "Do you have a dagger on you?"
"No."
"Take out your sword and use it?" Su Rong suggested.
Zhou Gu stared, "You want to use my sword to kill the chicken?"
"It's about disemboweling a chicken."
Zhou Gu disagreed, "No, my sword is the best frost sword. It is ranked in the world's weapons list. It cuts iron like mud, how can it be used to kill chickens?"
He had a look of firm disapproval on his face, "When I saw your skillful movements, I couldn't stop eating chicken. What did you do when you went back?"
Su Rong always carries a knife with her, a very small one, but since she rescued the man who gave her a dagger, she no longer carries that knife, but that dagger is so good, she I can't bear to use it to kill chickens.
She looked at Zhou Gu innocently, "I always carry a knife with me, but I didn't bring it out today. I didn't expect to take you to catch a pheasant and roast it." She muttered, "Isn't this all my fault? Chenzhou? He cleared up everything about me, so I’ll just take you to roast game. Anyway, it’s not that bad. You finally come to Jiangning and visit Fenghuang Mountain. You can’t go down without finishing the shopping, right?”
Zhou Gu was stubborn, "You can't use my sword anyway."
"Okay, let me find something else to try!" Su Rong pulled a leaf, put the plucked chicken on the leaf, and turned around to find something useful.
Zhou Gu protected his sword without feeling any embarrassment. Naturally, his sword could not be used to such a waste, so he continued to pluck the chicken feathers.
Cuiyu stood on the stone, looking at the plucked chicken in his hand and the scattered chicken feathers on the ground, with a really pitiful expression.
Zhou Gu tilted his head to catch a glimpse, thinking about a little bird, but his eyes showed sympathy and pity. He deliberately said: "Luckily you are small and don't have much flesh on your body, otherwise she probably wouldn't save you." , I should have roasted you and eaten you long ago."
Cuiyu fluttered her wings and chirped at Zhou Gu a few times. She seemed very angry at what he said. She turned her head, gave him a bird's butt, and stopped paying attention to him.
Zhou Gu laughed and said, "Oh, you have quite a temper!"
Su Rong brought back a sharp piece of water chestnut stone. Seeing Zhou Gu smiling so beautifully again, she felt helpless, "Why are you so happy?"
Zhou Gu turned to her and asked, "Why didn't you bake that little thing before?"
"I wanted to roast it and eat it. I weighed it in my hands. There was only two ounces of meat. How could it be as fat as a pheasant? So I simply bandaged it and let it go." Su Rong used stone slices to disembowel the pheasant. .
Zhou Gu didn't expect that she actually thought about roasting the little thing. He was speechless for a while. He saw that she had slender wrists, but she could disembowel the pheasant quickly and neatly. He admired her, "You are so skilled. You can kill the pheasant on this mountain by you." How much did you eat?”
"Not much. When I'm alone, I don't like to run to the mountains very often."
Zhou Gu saw that she had quickly finished handling the pheasant in her hand, but his own pheasant had not yet been plucked, so he looked at her with hairy hands. Su Rong didn't laugh at him, he took it neatly, cleaned it up in a few strokes, and then disemboweled it neatly.
Zhou Gu was in a complicated mood and felt that even if Su Rong was no longer a young lady, she would not starve to death.
"Zhou Gu, go pick up some dry firewood." Su Rong took two chickens to wash them in the water flowing from the cliff, and asked Zhou Gu at the same time.
Zhou Gu washed his hands, nodded, and went to do this easier task.
After a while, he came back with dry firewood. Su Rong had wrapped the pheasant with grass leaves, set up a fire, and found a bunch of herbs to twist into juice and drip it on the pheasant to taste. After a few operations, Su Rong finally started to sit down. On the stone, waiting.
It was the first time for Zhou Gu to wait for food in the wild, and he was quite looking forward to it, "Can you also identify herbs?"
"Well, I studied with the doctor at Huichun Hall for a while."
"Does that mean you have medical skills?"
"A little bit too."
Zhou Gu was now very doubtful about Su Rong's meeting, "Why do you know everything?"
"Because when I was a kid, I always got into fights and got injured. Sometimes when I came back from a fight, I didn't dare to let people know that I was fighting again. I was afraid of being punished, so I had to learn to heal myself. In order to learn to identify herbs, I didn't Don't do odd jobs for the doctor at Huichun Hall." Su Rong touched her nose, "Unless you have a very serious injury on your face that can't be hidden, and you don't have money to buy expensive medicine to treat it yourself, then there's nothing you can do to disturb your family. ."
Zhou Gu was speechless, "Why do you always fight with others?"
Su Rong said confidently, "Someone always messes with me, so what can I do?"
Zhou Gu: "..."
