Chapter 323

However, there is not enough land, and it is difficult to grow crops without large plots of land, so it is necessary to exchange food from the surrounding small countries.

Moreover, because there are no plains and pastures, grazing cannot be carried out, and the breeding industry is not developed.

Therefore, Su Jinyao wants vegetables, which are readily available, and if she asks for a large piece of five flowers (ròu), it is estimated that it will not be so easy.

Su Jinyao chose a few things and made her own side dishes.

After thinking about it, I chose two more Chinese cabbages, cut them and kneaded them with salt. Then she prepared red peppers, garlic and ginger, and the troublesome cook helped her chop them up and prepare them to make kimchi.

Kimchi is not easy to marinate for a while, but once you have all the ingredients in place, you can put it in a jar and take it with you on the road. Bring a few more steamed buns, and you don't have to hunt game all the time.

This cook chopped garlic, ginger, and red pepper, and her tears flowed, and she really didn't know what kind of rare things Su Jinyao had made this time.

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "It's really hard for you." However, if you memorize this recipe, you will learn to make kimchi in the future, and the Chinese cabbage here will be pickled if you can't finish it, so it is guaranteed to be delicious. ”

The cook wiped her tears and barely wanted to smile. But there was a lot of chili water on my hands, my eyes were red, and there were more tears.

Su Jinyao held back a smile, stirred the cut seasoning by herself, added enough salt, and then kneaded it into the cabbage. Then I found a small jar with a small mouth, stuffed the spicy cabbage into it, filled it with some seasoning, sealed it, and prepared to take it away.

When leaving, Su Jinyao didn't forget to ask the cook to wrap her with more than a dozen steamed buns.

Although the cook was curious, Su Jinyao meant that she was going to go far away? But it was inconvenient to ask, so I had to prepare according to Su Jinyao's meaning.

When Su Jinyao came back with a big bag and a small bag, Gu Xuebin wanted to laugh when he saw it, and asked Su Jinyao: "Jinyao, are you going to elope with me, or are you going to empty this princess's mansion?" ”

Su Jinyao also smiled and said, "A dozen steamed buns and a jar of pickles will not make the princess's mansion poor." Let's go all the way to the mountains and rivers, but we can't always eat roasted sweet potatoes and pheasants. ”

The two of them ate some side dishes and steamed buns, and Su Jinyao continued to write her prescription, preparing to finish writing it early and going on the road overnight.

Gu Xuebin said that Su Jinyao prepared something to eat, and he was ready to drink. He also said that he was going to Hantan to get cool water and come back, and it was very refreshing to drink cold water on the way.

Su Jinyao held her forehead, feeling that she was going to take a child out for an outing. Hurriedly pulled him back and said: "You listen to me, just rest for a while, you were very badly injured by the cold before, don't underestimate this bit of cold, in case of illness, I can't save you." ”

Gu Xuebin obediently sat on (chuáng), closed his eyes and rested for a while, and meditated by the way.

After Su Jinyao had prepared all the prescriptions and left a note for Mo Ma, she gently woke up Gu Xuebin and said, "Che, we're ready to go." ”

Ah Ye's little girlfriend

Gu Xuebin opened his eyes, with a pair of bright starry eyes with warmth and tenderness, looked at Su Jinyao and smiled slightly, and nodded at her.

Su Jinyao stretched out her hand, grabbed Gu Xuebin's hand, interlocked her fingers with him, and said, "Your hand is holding you, wherever you go in the future, I will go with you." ”

"Okay, take your daughter-in-law on a tour of the mountains and rivers." Gu Xuebin took advantage of the strength to get up (shēn), jumped up from the (chuáng), and then pulled Su Jinyao and jumped out of the window.

Su Jinyao followed his footsteps all the way to the front of the courtyard wall, Gu Xuebin shook his arm violently and threw Su Jinyao onto the wall.

The two had never practiced like this, but they worked together seamlessly and cleanly.

Climbing over the wall, stepping on the moonlight all the way, the (shēn) shape of the two gradually faded away.

There was only one way to leave Qingfan, and the two of them didn't walk all night, but after leaving the capital, they found a place to rest at the foot of the mountain.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin were not in a hurry, as long as they were careful to prevent the second prince from catching up.

And the possibility (xìng) of the second prince catching up is really not great, because he is now busy with Qingfan's government affairs, and he is also busy tracking down the two major events that Su Jinyao reminded him of yesterday, which is flawless (shēn).

As for Moma, Su Jinyao didn't think she would run after her.

What's more, Su Jinyao's note to her also made it very clear, "Parting must be faced in the end, it is nothing more than sooner or later", which means that sooner or later you will have to separate, and there is no big difference between leaving early or late.

The temporary resting place is a small cave, where it is impossible to stand up, and only allows two people to sit leaning on each other.

Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao in his arms and said, "Jinyao, you sleep, I'll wake you up in an hour." I've been asleep for a while, so I'll just keep watch for now. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and did not refuse. Because she and Gu Xuebin don't need to be polite, both of them should take good care of themselves, so as not to worry each other.

An hour passed quickly, and the sky was bright. Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin left the cave and continued to walk forward, as if they were about to fly.

This time they go hand in hand, there is no destination, there is no time limit, they can go as long as they want, and they go wherever they go.

Of course, with Gu Xuebin's meaning, he wanted to rush to Mobei as soon as possible.

But Su Jinyao's opinion is to go all the way to the north, and there is no need to hurry, so as not to miss the good scenery along the way.

Regarding Su Jinyao's suggestion, Gu Xuebin agreed. But in addition to agreeing, I am also a little anxious.

Then Su Jinyao found that the conservatism in this guy's bones is visible.

After making up his mind to go to Mobei to hold a wedding, Gu Xuebin tried his best to endure it without any big moves that crossed the rules.

Originally, Su Jinyao thought that the two of them (qíng) were deeply meaningful, you and me, and they would soon burn up.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuebin's concentration was amazing, and the most indecent appearance was restrained by him, and he had to promise to wait until the best wedding night of the two.

Su Jinyao was a little happy for a while, but also a little entangled. For a man who cares about herself like this, she rejoices from the bottom of her heart. But the two of them had to stop in moderation, which sometimes made Su Jinyao have the idea of pounce on him and eat him clean.

When they came to the outside of the mountain stream, the day was already over, and Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin decided to stay here for one night, and at the same time to summon the wolf king Ah Ye back.

When Su Jinyao was in Qingfan, Ah Ye had been in the upper reaches of the nearby mountains (dàng), and Ah Ye's howl would often be heard at night.

In that voice was the indulgence and joy (qíng) of returning to nature, Su Jinyao knew that this guy liked a free life in his bones. Maybe one day, it will really leave and return to its wolf clan.

But now that Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin are ready to leave, they can't leave Ah Ye here anymore. Even if you want to return to nature, you have to take Ah Ye out of Qingfan.

What's more, leaving the Qingfan Realm still has to pass through the Mysterious Forest, Su Jinyao is afraid that after they leave, Ah Ye alone will not be able to pass through such a strange forest, even if it wants to go back, it will be impossible.

That night, when Ah Ye's howl sounded again, Gu Xuebin took out his jade flute and whistled it.

Ah Ye is not an ordinary wolf, its intelligence is extremely high, and he can hear the meaning of Gu Xuebin's whistle.

Su Jinyao came to the limelight and hung one of her clothes on the tree. In this way, as soon as the wind blows, the smell will drift far away, and Ah Ye can follow the smell to find it.

Sure enough, less than an hour after the jade whistle blew, the sound of the wolf's howl was getting closer and closer. After another meal, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin both heard the sound of "Xi Xi Xuan" coming from the depths of the grass behind them.

But Gu Xuebin narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's not one wolf, it's two." ”

As he was talking, the wolf king Ah Ye jumped out of the grass and jumped out vigorously. came to Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao, wagging his tail and throwing (jiāo).

Gu Xuebin touched its head, looked at the grass behind it (shēn), and asked, "What about the other one?" Why don't you come out? ”

Su Jinyao looked into the grass and saw a pair of green wolf eyes flickering faintly between the gaps in the long grass. So he asked, "Ah Ye, is that a friend who came to see you off?" ”

Ah Ye's huge head shook, and then let out a "whoosh" howl into the grass. Then he looked at Su Jinyao again, and his tail wagged even more happily.

Su Jinyao guessed, "Are you calling your friend out?" Still is...... You're going to take it with you? ”

"Whew" Ah Ye screamed again, and walked over and rubbed Su Jinyao's palm.

Su Jinyao looked at the wolf king in front of her, who was like a kitten, and said to Gu Xuebin: "It seems that this guy has picked up a stray child and wants to take him on the road with us." ”

After Su Jinyao finished speaking, Ah Ye jumped twice as if she was happy, completely agreeing with Su Jinyao's words. Then he turned around and ran into the grass, and after a while, he came out with another wolf.

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin originally thought that Ah Ye was an orphan with a wolf clan. Therefore, Ah Ye herself is an orphan without a dog mother, and she was left in the wolf pack by Su Jinyao using a trick to hide from the world.

Therefore, Ah Ye may take more care of the lone wolf who has experienced the same experience, so he will bring it back and go together.

But the two never expected that Ah Ye would lead out of the grass to be a silver-white she-wolf.

The white fur of that one (shēn) is very shiny, and the tips of the fur are pale silver, as if the Zhou (shēn) were shining in the moonlight.

This is undoubtedly a very beautiful little she-wolf, and he has a noble blood, with a cold and glamorous arrogance.

It's sending out dog food

Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin glanced at each other, both a little stunned. Dare (qíng) to say that Ah Ye is the princess who kidnapped the wolf clan?

With such a beautiful and noble little she-wolf following, it's no wonder that Ah Ye is out these days.

Su Jinyao beckoned to Ah Ye, called it to the side (shēn), and asked, "You want to take it with you?" But have you ever wondered if its family is willing? Does it know that it can't come back after leaving? ”

No matter how smart Ah Ye is, he is still a wolf after all. Of course, listening to Su Jinyao's words can only be half-understood, and after listening to it, she still wagged her tail violently, looking infinitely happy.

Su Jinyao raised her forehead slightly, and there was a feeling that her stupid son had deceived the beautiful young lady of the landlord's family and eloped.

However, people can turn back their beautiful daughter-in-law, that's its ability, so take it with you. Even if she wants to break up, who will listen to her?

Instead, Gu Xuebin gave Ah Ye a thumbs up and praised: "Good job, the little daughter-in-law is very beautiful." However, the coat color of the two of you ...... I don't know what your doll will look like when it comes out. ”

After listening to Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao once again set her eyes on the beautiful silver-white little she-wolf (shēn). No matter how you look at it, the feeling of a purebred Samoyed is that the eyes are more cold and fierce.

But the painting style of these two wolves is completely different, one black and one white, if you give birth to a wolf doll...... Su Jinyao suddenly remembered her Divine Gu King, the black and white "Panda".

"Poof, hahaha." Su Jinyao laughed so hard that she shook her head and said, "Don't you dare to give you (cāo) such a thing, if I really give birth to a litter of national treasures, I will be rich." ”

Ah Ye naturally doesn't understand such a thing (qíng), anyway, in its eyes, the little she-wolf is a beautiful angel lady. Or the angel in white, the most bewildered (yòu) kind.

Their wolf has also returned, and by the way, there is one more, so it can be said that this trip to Qingfan is very fruitful.

That night, a (qíng) couple and a wolf couple camped out of the mountain stream.

From time to time, there was a cold wind blowing from the mountain stream, and Gu Xuebin would hug Su Jinyao tightly in his arms, but his hands and feet were not in order.

On the road at noon the next day, Su Jinyao looked at the appearance of a pair of wolf partners kissing me and me in front of her, turned her head to look at Gu Xuebin on the side of (shēn), and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I'm not a single (shēn) dog." ”

However, the degree of grace (ài) of Ah Ye and the little she-wolf is far beyond Su Jinyao's imagination. As soon as they crossed the mountain stream safely, the two wolves frolicked together unscrupulously. From time to time, Ah Ye would also press the little she-wolf under (shēn) and fiercely (tiǎn) on its face.

At this moment, the dog food is enough, even Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin are kind enough to each other, but they really look at a heartbeat.

Gu Xuebin sighed and said, "Jin Yao, I see that we are out of the forest of mysteries, so let Ah Ye leave with his little daughter-in-law." If you take it all the way to Mobei, I don't think the soldiers of the entire military camp will let it go. ”

Yes, Yishui in the barracks is a big man with strong blood, and he is a person who has not seen his daughter-in-law for a long time when he is out on the march, or some have no daughter-in-law at all. This pair of wolf couples went to someone's territory to show their grace (ài), just waiting for someone to buy two (chuáng) wolf skin mattresses.

Su Jinyao said with a smile: "Is it because our wedding can't be held in the barracks?" Your uncle would be pleased. But according to your meaning, there is no room for me as a woman in the barracks? ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "That's not it. Do you think about it before, when you were in the barracks, weren't many people (ài) wearing you? ”

Su Jinyao remembered that when she was in the barracks, someone still brought her fruit every day. Then he said: "I don't know what happened to Vice General Chu." ”

Gu Xuebin said: "He is shēn, and he will also be dealt with by military law after he goes back." However, their family is also a general for several generations, and his father also sacrificed his life for the country. Maybe because of the victory this time, the emperor will be lightly dismissed. ”

Then again, because of Vice General Chu's stubbornness, Vice General Chen and so many soldiers could never come back. As long as you think about this, it is still painful, so you feel that what kind of punishment should be given.

Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao didn't say much, so he said: "Jinyao, when we go to Mobei this time, we can really see the momentum of my uncle leading the troops." The soldiers he brought out were completely different from the ones I led. I guess it's something called a military spirit. I'm too young and have limited experience to cultivate that kind of military spirit. ”

Su Jinyao smiled slightly, took Gu Xuebin's hand tightly, and said, "That's different, you don't need to fight on the battlefield, of course you won't have that bloodthirsty spirit." But you're not doing nothing. Imagine that you have been ahead of everything in this expedition, and you have never been afraid of danger, so how many soldiers have saved you from the death and pain of war? This is your merit, and you deserve to be worn and respected by all soldiers. ”

Imagine, civilian officials are in government, and military attaches are fighting; Gu Xuebin (shēn) is a dignified prince (diàn), who can go to the battlefield to fight in person, which is much better than those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, do not care about the safety of soldiers, and do not care about the suffering of the people.

After talking and walking for more than half a day, I was about to reach the Mystery Forest.

When she came, Su Jinyao was very curious about this place, but because the second prince repeatedly reminded her and said that it was very dangerous, she didn't dare to take risks.

Now that Gu Xuebin is by her side (shēn), Su Jinyao feels a lot bolder, and the restless factor in her bones jumps out.

Su Jinyao asked Gu Xuebin: "When you came, how did you walk through this forest?" Do you know what's weird about this forest? ”

Gu Xuebin said: "Of course I know." In order to come to Qingfan smoothly, I can do my homework seriously. I've heard that you need to be blindfolded when you walk through this place, and then walk forward with a scent, and the touch under your feet is very different. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly asked, "Then is this how you came over?" ”

"Of course...... No. Gu Xuebin dragged out his voice, but turned a corner, which was very funny and said that he was not so honest and honest.

Su Jinyao was suddenly surprised and delighted, grabbed Gu Xuebin's arm and asked urgently, "Then tell me quickly, what is it like inside?" ”

"You'll find out when you go in and see for yourself." Gu Xuebin pretended to be mysterious and said: "I can't figure out what it is, but it can definitely be illusory." As I walked past, I was hallucinating. Therefore, if the willpower is not strong, it is safer to go blindfolded. ”

It's okay if Gu Xuebin doesn't say it, but when he says this, Su Jinyao is even more curious. Anxiously, he said, "I want to take a good look at what is going on in this Mysterious Forest." ”

Is this the Dark Forest?
