Chapter 3: Into the Mountains
"Daddy! Are you serious? You're going to the mountains too? That's great! Wan'er! Wan'er! Dad said he would come into the mountains with us tomorrow! Shen Zhao'er jumped up and rushed into the kitchen like a child.
Seeing Shen Wan'er cooking soup, she immediately asked curiously.
"Haven't you eaten enough?"
"Daddy didn't eat enough! Take it, today he made a basket to drink soup, and if he made two out at night, he could eat wild vegetable cakes, and in the future, he would have food at this house. If you want to eat meat and drink soup, you have to rely on your own hands. ”
Wan'er's words are becoming more and more reasonable!
Sure enough, Shen Da got food, and the whole person was motivated, and with the help of God in the afternoon, he made several baskets.
Shen Zhao'er looked at these baskets, her eyes lit up.
When Shen Zhao'er returned to the room, she saw Shen Wan'er tearing her clothes, which frightened her and screamed.
"What are you doing! What do you do with good clothes that you tear it? ”
"Good clothes? I can't even wear it, so what do I keep it for? Shen Wan'er glanced at Shen Zhao'er, and continued to tear the cloth without raising her head.
Seeing her like this, Shen Zhao'er's eyes turned red with anger.
"That can be changed, too."
"Okay, you can take these strips of cloth and tie them to your laps when you set off for the mountain tomorrow."
"Tied to your legs? Why? ”
Shen Wan'er didn't bother to explain to Shen Zhao'er, and after packing up her things, she went to the kitchen to boil water and wash herself.
Seeing Shen Wan'er like this, Shen Zhao'er felt more and more that Shen Wan'er was incomprehensible.
Early the next morning, before Shen Wan'er got up, she heard movement from the kitchen, as well as the sound of Shen Da chopping wood in the yard.
She lay down in bed and looked out the window, wondering if the sun was coming out of the west today.
It's just that the sky is still dark, and the sun can't be seen at all.
Shen Wan'er got up, chewed willow branches, brushed her teeth, and washed her face with cold water before walking into the kitchen.
only to find that Shen Zhao'er had already steamed the wowotou.
"When are we leaving?" Seeing Shen Wan'er coming in, Shen Zhao'er immediately asked.
"Eat something, take the wowotou and go, the sooner the better, are you ready for the fire fold or something?" Shen Wan'er asked.
"Why do you still have to bring a fire fold?"
"If you spend the night in the mountains, you always have to break the fire."
"Huh? Still spending the night in the mountains? Shen Zhao'er only felt that the matter of going up the mountain today simply subverted her previous perception of going into the mountain to collect medicine.
"Go and prepare, there is no need to change clothes, now that the weather is cool, it doesn't matter if you don't change your clothes for two or three days." Shen Wan'er said that she took a cloth bag and put it on the nest, these are the rations for going up the mountain.
If it weren't for Shen Da's addiction to gambling, she would have to support the Shen family's mess, and she wouldn't bother to care about these things.
After working all my life in my last life, what did I get in exchange?
Why bother?
In this life, she Shen Wan'er will never do everything herself.
Cultivating Shen Zhao'er and changing Shen Da is the first step to a better life.
A family of three each carried a basket on their backs and set off up the mountain.
Peony Village is at the foot of the mountain, and it is a long way to enter the mountain.
The things around the mountain had already been picked up, and Shen Wan'er also knew that there were only things she needed inside, so she could only take the father and daughter to the mountain.
"How far is it?" Shen Da shouted as he gasped.
"Daddy! We haven't entered the mountain yet, everything around here has been picked up, and if you want good things, you can only go to the mountain, what are you anxious about. Shen Zhao'er couldn't help but glance at Shen Da.
Although Shen Wan'er felt tired, she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Shen Wan'er decided to go into the mountains today to see if she could find some nourishing medicinal herbs.
There were a few more things she was secretly determined to find.
The three of them helped each other, and finally reached the entrance of the mountain, "No, no, no, I can't walk." ”
"Daddy! Don't be lazy, if you continue to rub like this, we won't be able to go into the mountains when the sun goes down! Shen Zhao'er stretched out her hand and pulled Shen Da's sleeve and said.
"Daddy! Do you really want me to be sold?! Shen Zhao'er yelled anxiously.
Tiger poison does not eat children, where would Shen Da have such thoughts, and continue to move forward.
Shen Wan'er didn't care about grinding with the two, so she walked in front to check, there were just some common herbs here, which were picked and put in the basket.
"Dad, sister, the front is coming, if you want to repay your debts, you can eat white flour steamed buns every day, follow me."
She walked towards the mountains, listening to the footsteps behind her, and her heart was calm.
"Zhao'er, I'm in a hurry, I'll come when I go." Shen Da became more and more tired the more he walked, where could he endure this suffering, he lied and wanted to go back the way he came.
Shen Zhao'er didn't know, so she responded.
At this time, Shen Wan'er's eyes were shining, carefully looking for medicinal materials, she looked up, and was surprised to find that there was a fairy spirit grass on the steep mountain wall!
Shen Wan'er was overjoyed, wasn't this the herb she was looking for? It is rare in a thousand years, and this is also rare in the previous life, and the price is remarkable!
"Help, call, call......"
"Wan'er, isn't it Daddy's voice? He was in a hurry to urinate just now, so he wouldn't have encountered a beast, would he? ”
Her ears were so good that she could hear it a long time ago, "Maybe." ”
Pulled up Shen Wan'er and followed the voice to find it.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" I saw that one of Shen Da's feet was bloody, and he was clamped with a beast trap, and he snorted in pain!
"Self-inflicted, Dad, your IQ is too low, don't you have to harm yourself if you steal back?" Shen Wan'er counted them all and pouted.
"Damn it, don't save your dad soon." He wanted to sneak back, but he didn't pay attention to his feet to make it like this.
Taking out the tools she brought out, she used an iron rod to pry open the big iron teeth, put a stone on top of it, and breathed a sigh of relief, the two girls opened the animal trap together, Shen Da's feet were blurred with flesh and blood, and the bones were exposed!
"Wan'er, this, what can I do about this?"
"Wait, you put this chisel on it for Dad, I have something to do." As he spoke, he took out the notoginseng he picked from the back basket, Pu Huang, and threw it to Shen Zhao'er.
When she came to the bottom of the mountain wall, the sky was already dark, Shen Wan'er made a torch, opened it with a fire fold, gritted her teeth and climbed up, the hard stone tip slipped through her fingers, and she didn't feel a trace of pain.
The fairy grass is within reach, raise your hand with all your strength and grab it, pick it down, put it in the back basket, and it's finally done!
"Who is there, disturbing my master!" A male voice rang out suddenly.
Shen Wan'er shuddered at this sudden voice, her feet slipped, and she fell down with the basket on her back.
When it was too late, the man saw a figure fall down rapidly, and he flew away lightly, and the speed was fast in the blink of an eye!
With a wave of his hand, he held her slender waist, which was soft to the touch, and a woman's fragrance came to her nose, and she wore a veil, mysterious and full of temptation!
The man is stunned by a strange woman! Extraordinarily bold!
Shen Wan'er felt a warm arm around her waist, it was a man!
Her cheeks couldn't help but crimson, she hadn't been in a relationship in her previous life, and the first time she had been in such close contact with a man, her heart was pounding.
Fluttering to the ground, the man stared at the woman in front of him, a pair of smart eyes shining in the dark night, long eyelashes fluttering, and a veil on his face, giving people a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.
"Thank you for the rescue." Shen Wan'er was blessed and opened her mouth shyly. This man is so handsome, with a height of 185 visually, this guy's body proportion is thousands of times better than that of a model!
At this time, Shen Zhao'er and Shen Da had also arrived, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised when they saw such a big pomp and circumstance for men!
"The girl's courage is comparable to that of a man, wonderful, wonderful!"
The man Jun Enyan, the hereditary little prince, went out to hunt this time and looked for a famous doctor to treat his grandfather, and now he caused Shen Wan'er to fall and save her.
Shen Da crutches forward, "Childe, thank you for saving the little girl, Childe looks rich and noble, I don't know which princely prime minister's mansion he came from?" "Shen Da, I came to the casino, looking at Jun Enyan extraordinarily extravagant, thinking about it.
The secret guard holding a torch on the side stepped forward to stop Shen Da.
"It's getting late, and when you go back to grandpa, you will say that I have something to delay. Go back later. Yebai, you are in charge of dinner. Jun Enyan ignored Shen Da and ordered the secret guard.
"Childe, my house is nearby, why don't you camp in front, can I help with dinner?" Shen Wan'er thought to herself that it would be a good idea if she could lean on this big tree!
She has always understood the importance of connections.
She has never been a man, and she can't help but be moved when she looks at it, seeing that this person is definitely not a child of a small family, and she saved her just to repay her with this.
"Me too." Shen Zhao'er on the side spoke softly, with tenderness in his eyes, this man was tall and handsome, but he was much stronger than the man in Peony Village.
"Sister, you can take care of your father, don't make trouble for me here!"
Shen Zhao'er was speechless, she was really not good at cooking, she just wanted to show her face in front of Jun Enyan and brush up on her presence.
Looking at the conversation between the two, Jun Enyan knew that the veiled woman must have made the decision at home.
Shen Da also sighed, Shen Wan'er's cooking skills are good, hey, if he has a raw flower and moon appearance, he can think about it.
A few people came down the mountain to the Shen family, and the guards moved the game here.
Shen Wan'er instructed to clean the pheasant, hare, and wild boar, and she began to prepare with her hands and feet.
The person who came also brought some spices, coupled with Shen Wan'er's skillful hands, she used the herbs picked in the mountains to add color to this dinner, and after a while, the courtyard was full of fragrance, which made people can't help but drool.
Pheasant with mushrooms, braised rabbit meat, wild vegetables with seasonings to make a cold dish, and the huge wild boar is also used to roast and eat.
Similar to modern barbecue, it is placed on a simple shelf built with wire, and the meat is smoked and roasted with oil underneath, and the most special thing is the dipping sauce made by Shen Wan'er with the spices brought by the guards.
Jun Enyan tasted this delicious dinner, and her heart was even more surprised, and she had a wonderful feeling for the strange woman under the veil.
Shen Zhao'er looked at Jun Enyan's eyes when she looked at her sister-in-law, and couldn't help but feel lost in her heart.
Everyone sat around, Shen Da ate such a delicate and delicious food for the first time, and the whole person was dizzy. He secretly thought to himself that it would be a good thing if Zhao'er married him.
Jun Enyan looked awe-inspiring, and he had already guessed Shen Da's careful thoughts.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves outside the door gradually increased, and a person hurriedly came in, whispering in Jun Enyan's side, his face was solemn, and he had no appetite in front of the food.
"I thanked the girl for her kindness, my grandfather is sick at home, I should go back."
"Childe is slow, I don't know what the symptoms of the old man are?" Shen Wan'er spoke.
Jun Enyan looked at the woman suspiciously, "Grandpa, asthma has been suffering for many years, Lian Tai," just wanted to say the word Taiyi, but swallowed it back, "This disease is more than ten years, hey......"
