"You?" Li Hongji looked surprised, "You can pick herbs?" ”

Gao Guiying pursed her lips, "What, look down on women?" ”

"No, Gui Ying...... I've heard that there are a lot of wild beasts in the mountains, and there are even hungry wolves coming and going, and in this winter, if the wolves can't find food, they can do anything! ”

"I went into the mountain with a stick, if I met a wolf, it should be unlucky," Gao Guiying glanced at Li Hongji, "In the end, you still look down on women, and when you are healed, I must learn your skills!" ”

"No, Gui Ying, I mean, I knew that there were herbs to heal injuries in the mountain, and I should have asked them to bring them back, he and Shuangxi just entered the mountain."

"He? You can count on it, once you meet pheasants, hares, badgers or something, you will immediately forget about it," Gao Guiying said to do it, "Hongji, you rest first, I'll go into the mountains to take a look, and I'll be back in the afternoon," she smiled at Li Hongji, "Maybe I can lead the wolf back, just to make up for you!" ”

"Gui Ying," Li Hongji was anxious, worried that she would enter the mountain alone, what accident would happen, "Do you want to talk to your eldest brother about entering the mountain?" ”

"No," Gao Guiying said as the person had already left the room, "Big brother will come over in a while, you can tell him." ”

"Gui Ying......" Li Hongji saw that she had left, so he had to shake his head and sigh, "This Gui Ying is really a heroine!" But he was faintly worried about Gao Guiying, people went up the mountain to collect medicine for themselves, and in case of an accident, he was not at ease lying on the hospital bed.

But Li Hongji couldn't stop Gao Guiying, so he had to wait for Gao Ligong in the west wing.

When Gao Ligong came in, it was almost noon, Li Hongji talked about Gao Guiying going into the mountains alone, he didn't care at all, "My sister, I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and it is common to go into the mountains to pick some herbs and wild vegetables, and she has also hunted badgers alone, Hongji don't worry!" ”

When the sun hung on the mountainside, Gao Guiying returned to the thatched hut, and came back with her, as well as Gao Yigong and Li Guo, they met in the mountains, according to Gao Yigong secretly told Li Hongji that when Gao Guiying was collecting medicine, because the flying claws were not strong enough, she actually slipped down from the ridge, fortunately she had practiced martial arts, reacted quickly, and did not cause serious injuries, but there were a few scratches on the short jacket.

"Hey, it's good that people are okay!" Li Hongji felt a little sorry in his heart, but he couldn't even get out of bed, and he couldn't compensate her for a while, in case she had three longs and two shorts, with his current physical condition, he couldn't take care of her.

After Gao Guiying returned home, she didn't care that cotton was still running on her short jacket, so she didn't say a word, rolled up her sleeves, washed the herbs she had picked up, and put them in a crockpot to boil water.

Before dinner, Gao Guiying poured the boiled liquid medicine into a small wooden basin, and placed a small square towel in the wooden basin, which was originally white, but it had become pale yellow after being soaked in the medicinal liquid.

Seeing that Gao Yigong was fighting with Li Guohu, Gao Guiying sent the small wooden basin, "Yigong, go, wash Hongji's sores, this is just boiled, and the effect is better while it is hot." ”

"Second sister, you go by yourself, I'm busy!" Gao Yigong's mouth was full of foam, and he was talking about it, where was he willing to help others clean their wounds, "Didn't the eldest brother ask you to take care of Hongji?" ”

"What's your business? Let your mouth rest too! Gao Guiying blamed him for being troublesome, and told Li Hongji about her fall from the ridge, "I take care of his diet and daily life, and this matter of cleaning sores is naturally your old man." ”

Gao Yigong was still talking to Li Guo about hunting, he didn't even look at Gao Guiying, and said casually: "What's the matter, second sister, it's not like you haven't seen a man......"

"Say it again!" Gao Guiying's willow eyebrows were upside down, her phoenix eyes were wide open, and her right hand was already raised high, and it could fall on Gao Yigong's face at any time.

Gao Yigong hurriedly covered his head with his hands and bent down to make a surrender form, "I'll go, can't I go?" Really, I beat people at every turn, and I don't look like a woman at all......"

"Call you nonsense!" Gao Guiying forced the third brother to beg for mercy, she pursed her lips and smiled like a winner, and when she found that Li Guo was still there, she smiled unconsciously, turned around and left, "I'll go and clean up these prey, and cook a delicious meal at night to comfort you." ”

Li Guo smiled wryly, and pointed to the west wing with his hand: "I'll go and help first!" ”

The next day, Li Hongji just woke up, and Gao Guiying suffocated into the West Wing, "Big brother...... Big brother is afraid that you will be bored, let me talk to you, I am in a better mood, and the wound will recover faster," Seeing Li Hongji looking at her steadily, he asked, "How is it?" Is the wound still painful? ”

"It doesn't hurt if you don't move, maybe the herbs you picked have a miraculous effect, and after this night, I feel that the wound is much better." Li Hongji was lying in the quilt, looking at Gao Guiying with a side face, and saw that she was wearing a fat Xuan-colored practice uniform, the bun on her head was slightly scattered, and there was still a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

Knowing that what Li Hongji said might not be sincere, Gao Guiying was still happy in her heart, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she was very satisfied with Li Hongji's answer, and it was not in vain that she worked hard for Li Hongji.

Li Hongji sniffed hard, it turned out to be a special fragrance, Gao Guiying didn't use powder, could it be a body fragrance? This mother-in-law, she didn't take a shower when she was sweating, which made her brother think about it, "Gui Ying, did you practice in the morning?" ”

"Well," Gao Guiying nodded slightly, but turned her eyes to Li Hongji, "It's not interesting to practice alone, and I don't know if my kung fu has grown!" ”

Knowing that it was unlikely, Li Hongji still teased her, "Isn't it okay to do a job?" Let him accompany him to practice, and teach him a lesson by the way! ”

"He's it!" Gao Guiying immediately gave a contemptuous look, and sat down on Li Hongji's bedside inadvertently, "I don't see anyone all day long, I fought with Shuangxi yesterday for a day's prey, and I drank with Shuangxi at night, and it's endless nonsense, and I haven't woken up yet!" ”

"What about meritorious service? For my sake, he doesn't have to go to the yamen to be on duty now! ”

"Big brother? Posing as a parent all day long, when I saw him, I was scared and confused, what kind of kung fu do you practice? Gao Guiying turned her gaze for help to the head of the bed, "Hongji, haven't you also practiced martial arts?" Hurry up and get better, you can practice with me! ”

"Me?" Li Hongji buried his head in the quilt like a groundhog, "I don't know when I'm injured, and I don't know if I can still practice." "But I said in my heart, once my body is fully recovered, I still have to settle accounts with Ai Zhao, how can I have time to stay in the Gao family?

Just when there was the call of Gao Ligong's mother-in-law Liu in front, Gao Guiying had to get up, "Hongji, sister-in-law is calling for breakfast, you wait, I'll bring breakfast over, Ao, I'm going to get some water for you to wash your face, but I forgot, you wait, come right away." ”

Maybe it's because of the practice of martial arts, Gao Guiying's speed is not inferior to that of a man, from the front room to the back room, but when he coughed, he brought a basin of hot water, "Come, Hongji turned around." She wrung out the warm water on the face towel, then pressed Li Hongji's forehead with one hand, shook off the face towel with the other, wiped Li Hongji's face clean, and even wiped his hair lightly.

Li Hongji This is the treatment of a distinguished guest, the terrain in the mountains is high, and clean water is more expensive than grain, and he has a basin of warm water alone, even the new uncle may not be able to enjoy it.

After Gao Guiying finished cleaning up, she brought the water back to the front room, ready to use it when washing the dishes, first took two hot steamed buns for Li Hongji, sandwiched some salted radish strips, and put the only egg into the bowl.

Li Hongji was lying on the bed, and when he saw the eggs in the bowl, he couldn't help it, "Gui Ying, it's enough to have radish strips, why waste eggs?" He didn't have a penny on him, and all the expenses for recuperation were borne by the Gao family.

"I heard the old man say that boiled eggs have the highest nutritional value, you are a patient, and you need to replenish your body," Gao Guiying said while lowering her head and peeling the eggshell: "It's a pity, the eldest brother has few chickens, if only I could eat a few more every morning." ”

When the eggshell was peeled off, she clamped the egg with three fingers and made an orchid finger shape, "Oh, open your mouth," probably thinking of something, and added: "I hope you get better as soon as possible, so that someone will accompany you to practice martial arts!" ”

Li Hongji struggled to swallow the nest head in his mouth, obediently opened his mouth, and almost swallowed Gao Guiying's little hand together.

Gao Guiying had a smile on her face, but she didn't speak, just silently picked up the white water and handed it to Li Hongji's mouth.

After breakfast, Gao Guiying had nothing to do, and sat in the west wing again, she held her chin with her right hand, her elbow was supported on her thigh, and a pair of phoenix eyes were spinning, "Hongji, tell me about the outside world, I haven't come out of this pot of Lushan Mountain yet!" ”

"Outside?" Li Hong basically wants to talk about the customs and customs of later generations, but it is far from this era, and he is afraid of misleading this little girl who has just understood the world, "The north is a large grassland, and the Mongolians graze cattle, horses and sheep on it, eat beef and mutton when they are hungry, and drink mare's milk wine when they are thirsty; The south is the most prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, just say that the Qinhuai River, an Oiran is piled up with tens of thousands of taels of silver, which one do you want to listen to? ”

Gao Guiying stretched out her tongue exaggeratedly, the story on the Qinhuai River, she heard the little daughters-in-law say it at her in-law's house, but it was just some sporadic fragments, after many people's words, it had changed greatly, she wanted to hear the story on the Qinhuai River, why the girl in the flower boat was worth ten thousand taels of silver, but her eyes were tactful, "You talk about the prairie first!" ”

"Mongol cavalry, have you heard of it?" Li Hongji wondered what could attract attention on the grassland, "Do you know why the Mongolian cavalry is so powerful?" ”

The Mongolian cavalry is simply a nightmare for the people of the Ming Dynasty, Hulu Mountain is only two hundred miles away from Yansui Military Town, and Gao Guiying has not heard of the Mongolian cavalry knocking on the pass, "The Mongolian cavalry is strong, because the war horse is fast, and when you meet the Han infantry, you will have a knife in your head, and then leave, so that you don't even have a chance to counterattack, with a good war horse, the combat effectiveness is naturally strong," she subconsciously glanced at Li Hongji's injured buttocks, "If the Han people have such high riding skills and such excellent war horses, The fighting power will also not lose to the Mongols. ”

"There is some truth in this," during the Hongwu and Yongle years, the Ming army beat the Mongolian cavalry and fled, in addition to the strong firearms of the Ming army, mainly because the Ming army also had powerful cavalry, and even fought at the door of the Mongols, and the combat effectiveness was equally amazing, "Gui Ying, even if the Han people and the Mongols train together and use the same war horses, although they can barely fight with the Mongols, their combat effectiveness will be worse, do you know what this is for?" ”
