9. Recuperate in other places
The wind still hasn't stopped, and the snow is still falling. "Your Highnesses, come to eat rice cakes, this is a pastry that Aunt Bitao and the queen often ate when they were at home, and we will make it after the autumn harvest every year, it is very delicious." Aunt Bi Tao walked in with a plate of rectangular lumpy pastries and walked to the bed: "Princess, come and eat some rice cakes, cushion your stomach, and drink medicine for a while." I nodded and got up on my own, I was also very hungry after not eating for a long time, I just had to suffer from eating. Xia Han: "Aunt Bitao, this rice cake was sent by the general?" ”
"Your Highness Han, no, it was brought by sand skiing." Xia Han raised his eyebrows: "Oh, where did he get it from?" Bi Tao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xia Han, and then said: "I said that I went to the farmer's house next door to thank them for the medicine they gave to the princess, and sent a snow fox skin. ”
Xia Han nodded: "It's time to thank you for the gift, they deserve to save Sister Wang's ten skins." Bi Tao continued: "Your Highness doesn't know, this fur is very precious in Beiyan as clothes in Huaguo, just like the silk of Huaguo in Beiyan, it is the leather we send in winter that is exactly what we want." "I see, is it that everything in Huaguo is scarce in our Beiyan, and the things in Beiyan are exactly what Huaguo needs?"
Bi Tao Zhengse said: "It's not all, but in general, what Huaguo needs most is our Beiyan's war horses to meet their needs to expand their territory, but we need their food even more, if there is no natural disaster, then our pastures are enough to feed the people of Beiyan." "Xia Xing, take a look over here, look over there." ......"Holding a plate in his arms, holding rice cakes in his hands, he ate in small bites.
Xia Han: "So we can't feed enough people now?" Bi Tao nodded helplessly: "Yes, alas, I don't know how the queen is now?" At this point, the room fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts. Let's chirp, haw", the two of them who were disturbed and pondering looked over, Xia Xing innocently blinked his big eyes, holding the rice cake in both hands, and looked at his brother coming over.
'Blink' big blue eyes "Huh? Xia Han: "You ate all the rice cakes?" Xia Xing: "Hmph......" Holding the plate in his hand, he said that there was a lot more on it. Xia Han: "It's just right, Aunt Bitao went to bring her the medicine." Then he looked at Xia Xing and said, "The rest is mine, you should drink the medicine." "By the way, take the plate. Xia Xing: "。。。。。。。。 Xia Xing looked at the big bowl of black decoction in front of him, looked at the plate of rice cakes in front of Xia Han, and ate it with relish, and looked at Aunt Bitao's two big eyes.
"Oh, my princess, I will take rock candy for sand skating, and I will give you a piece when I finish drinking the medicine, and when Bijac comes back from hunting in the evening, Aunt Bitao will stew you delicious." After Bi Tao finished speaking, Xia Xing's mouth and eyes were crooked, Xia Han, who was watching all this next to him, sighed helplessly, if she continues like this, it will not be a matter of being spoiled, she is really worried about her IQ.
Xia Han reluctantly put down the plate, climbed onto the bed, pinched Xia Xing's face with both hands and made a "smack" sound, "Alas! Xia Han looked at the cute little face, raised his hand and touched her head. Elder brother? "Drink the medicine." "Oh!" Not long after it got dark, the yarn and Bingning came back, and they came back with two duns of wood, and luckily found a lot of dry firewood under the mountain rock that was not covered by snow, and Bi Tao hurriedly went out to welcome them in.
Afraid that Xia Xing would be cold outside, they let them stay in the coat room for a while, and after a while Ditai and Bijak came back, but these two were not very lucky, it was when the ice and snow and the birds of the mountains were gone, and the two of them brought back a pheasant and a pigeon, but there were eight of us.
"Heh--" "Snort--" Looking at everyone's expressions, the two could only glance at their eyes without focus. Bingning rushed over excitedly: "Ah, the duel between the two masters of Beiyan is back, who won?" She also said: "It seems that the battle is very fierce, I thought you were being chased by wild bears and were about to go to the rescue." ”
"Puff--" "Puff--" Detai blushed: "Okay, you two, if it weren't for me and Bijak, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to beat any of them." Seeing everyone's skeptical expressions, Bijac was also busy: "I testify about this, there is not half a living creature in this weather, and this is also picked up by walking for a long time." ”
At this time, everyone couldn't help but laugh directly, and Bi Tao smiled and said, "We didn't say anything, let's take a break and drink some hot water." Sandboarding happened to come in to visit the two masters, and when he saw a bunch of people in the coat room, he asked, "Why are they all here?" Bijac, you're back? "Hmm...
While shaking the snow on his body, he said: "I heard that the brother next door said that the snow is estimated to be two days, we have to prepare some dry firewood, we have prepared some clothes and finances from Beiyan, and Beiyan is short of food and wants to come here to buy it." Who would have expected that a snowstorm would be blocked here, and the dry food given by the generals was barely enough, and the fine ones were given by the next door just for His Highnesses, but His Royal Highness Xia Xing was seriously ill and needed to be supplemented, and the journey to the Gobi for more than a month was very difficult, and His Highness Han has been weak, so I am afraid it won't last long. ”
Bi Tao: "yes, I should prepare some nourishing ingredients or something." Biak: "It's easy to do in normal times, but now that I'm not in town, and the weather is so bad, I can't fight with Ditai, and we can't leave." "Sand skiing: "I've already asked, I heard the brother next door say that there is a lake in the mountains, we can catch some fish, but the road is a little dangerous on a snowy day." Bingning was very excited: "Okay, I haven't eaten fish for a long time." ”
"We haven't eaten it, how does it taste?" Dietey: "What's that?" Sandboarding: "I'm sure you've seen it, but you don't know it." Bijac: "What kind of stuff can be eaten?" It's going to be fine. Bingning: "Nonsense, I'm okay from snack to adulthood, Aunt Bitao." Bi Tao nodded and agreed: "Well, that's okay." ”
The snow stopped, the white expanse, the air outside was very fresh, this was the best weather of the month, lying on the couch for four days and finally getting off the ground, watching the ice condense in and out, bouncing and jumping too envious. In the past few days, we have eaten all the fish, from the longest fish soup to fresh fish porridge, fish soup, steamed wild vegetable fish, roasted fish fillet and casserole fish head, of course, His Royal Highness can only drink soup, today His Royal Highness is finally good to eat a barbecue.
Xia Han: "Little star, today Aunt Bitao decided to make a whole fish banquet to celebrate your recovery." Xia Xing: "。。。。。。 "Hey, why do you think my brother should do one thing today, I think about it, I want him to lie in bed for a month and then pour it back and forth between the decoction and the fish soup every day, so that his taste is full of the bitterness of medicine and the fishiness of the fish, and his stomach is full of bitter water mixed with greasy. Xia Xing grinded his teeth and thought about it, staring at his brother's serious face that did not eat the fireworks of the world, and watched him float away gently.
Bing Ning pounced over and grabbed Xia Xing's hand that was clenching his small fist: "My Highness, the two of us are so pitiful, we have eaten fish for four days in a row, and today we actually want to eat the past four days again, woo woo woo... Partition... "Bingning, I didn't eat fish, I was drinking soup, and I don't need to take medicine today, and I remind you that today is a whole fish feast, and His Royal Highness is going to teach the people of Northern Swallow to eat fish when he goes back." After saying that, Xia Xing patted Bingning's shoulder, leaving her stunned and walking away alone.
"Hehehehehe" A burst of laughter came, Bingning quickly turned his head, glared at Bijak, and said, "What are you laughing at?" "If I'm not mistaken, someone couldn't sleep two days ago because he was excited to eat fish, and the next day he got up earlier than anyone else to pull us to catch fish, and now what's wrong with such a sad face, hehe."
"You, I didn't expect you to look very serious, but in fact you are a hippie smile, how did Prince Xia Yan choose you in the first place? Oh, I see, you must have been fooled, or who would want you to be such an unreliable guard. "It's not as good as someone, and if you don't want to eat, you will string the princess; And usually eat more than anyone who is more active, but the face is like this, cunning and fickle, like a fox. ”
"Didn't I say that I was afraid of breaking Aunt Bitao's heart? Her old man has done so hard, and I don't think the princess can eat it, this is empathetic, where is cunning? If I haven't eaten for too long, how can I be like this, am I fickle? You're fickle, hmph, ignore you. With that, Bing Ning walked away without looking back. With the sound of coughing and footsteps, Ditai walked out of the side of the room. Bijac grinds his teeth: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." Di Tai said: "Young Master Biya is disgusted, who let you say that you deserve it!" ”
"Willful and brutal, it's weird to marry out in the future." "Then you are redundant, as a princess's close attendant and beautiful martial arts, will you be worried about getting married? Besides, there is a queen who likes this little girl so much, maybe she recognizes a goddaughter, so the brother is not possible, this is a negative sentence. Rise! As soon as Detai finished speaking, Bijaq turned around and kicked him, "Get out of the way, look at your schadenfreude, under-pumping." Detay laughed and ran away.
"Ake, come over here and help me with something." Bijak rushed to Xia Han at the speed of light: "Please command, Your Highness." "Damn, who is going to tell him how His Royal Highness, who has always been frail, could have come behind him so unexpectedly. "Your Highness, no matter what method you use, today's lunch must be a barbecue." “。。。。。。 Be! "After a few teas......
"Well, that's good!" "How's it going, don't you think there's sandboarding?" "Your Highness is so simple and rude at a young age, I like it." "I'm asking if you have thought of any good way to help me, who cares if you like it or not, hurry up, my brother will rely on you." "Your Highness mean today's lunch?" "Right" "Must be a barbecue?" "It has to be a barbecue!" "Oh, that's easy to say, grilled fish is also barbecue, right?" "Hmm" "The fish is there, and all that's left is to let the fish maker only make grilled fish, understand?" ”
