Chapter 009: It's better to steal food alone

Qu Ning: "Do you recognize herbs?" ”

Mai Dong: "The minion used to be an errand boy in the imperial infirmary, so he will recognize a little. ”

Qu Ning: "Okay, you teach me to recognize herbs." As long as there are herbs and poisons in this imperial tomb, you will teach me to recognize them. ”

Mai Dong was surprised, he didn't expect Qu Ning to give such an order.

Xiao Quanzi secretly pulled Mai Dong's sleeve and asked Mai Dong to quickly agree.

Mai Dong reacted, "Yes, ma'am. ”

Qu Ning: "Then let's go." As long as you teach well, I will give each of you a steamed bun as a thank you gift for dinner. Keep this matter a secret and don't tell anyone else. "Lunch was stolen, so I had to think about dinner.

Izumiko's eyes widened with joy, a little incredulous that there would be something to eat for them.

Mai Dong was also pleased, but it was not as obvious as Xiao Quanzi's performance, "Thank you, madam." ”

For Qu Ning, this is definitely the way it should be.

-

On weekdays, people like them never dare to go up the mountain, or even take a step closer to the mountain. Today, under the leadership of Qu Ning, Mai Dong and Xiao Quanzi stepped lightly and cautiously on the mountain road, fearing that a heavy step would be discovered by the one who was imprisoned in the mountain.

On the side of the mountain road, many common herbs soon fell into the eyes of Mai Dong.

Mai Dong squatted down, pointed to Qu Ning, who was squatting down, and introduced everything he knew to Qu Ning.

Qu Ning didn't have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone now, so he could only memorize it in his heart, and then pulled out the herb that Mai Dong had introduced and handed it to Xiao Quanzi and asked him to take it.

Izumiko followed behind the two of them, hoping that today's dinner would come soon.

The further you go up the mountain, the more precious the herbs appear.

It didn't take long for Koizumiko to hold a large pile of various herbs in her arms.

Mai Dong: "Madam, this is Aracea. Aracea is bitter, pungent, warm and poisonous. Direct consumption will make the throat dry, there is a burning sensation, and in severe cases, it may even lose the sense of taste, hoarseness, and difficulty opening the mouth. ”

This is good, as the first poisonous herb seen since recognizing herbal medicine, Qu Ning was secretly happy, and reached out to pull it out while memorizing.

Mai Dong took the first step to pull it out, "Madam, this is still up to the minions, don't do it." ”

Qu Ning said that it was okay, and took it and gave it to Xiao Quanzi, "Let's go, let's continue." ”

A carrier pigeon stopped and paced back and forth on the mountain road almost halfway up the mountain, as if looking with some curiosity at the group of three people who were getting closer and closer below.

Xiao Quanzi was the first to see the carrier pigeon and secretly swallowed his saliva.

Qu Ning then saw that his eyes lit up, and after looking around to make sure that there was no one else around, he quickly walked towards the carrier pigeon, and easily grabbed the carrier pigeon.

This pigeon seemed a little different from the group of pigeons in the morning. This pigeon did not have any notes tied to its feet, and was generally larger than the pigeons in the morning, and its feathers were much more beautiful and beautiful, with a snow-white tail and a bright golden yellow.

Did you secretly bake and eat it by yourself, or did you share it with three people? Qu Ning thought about it.

In fact, it's not that she's stingy, but she's worried that three people eat together, and if there are more people, if one of them accidentally says that he leaks his mouth and goes out to be known by others, and no one dares to catch the big flock of pigeons in the morning, and she doesn't know if these two people in front of her dare to eat, and she is a little bad rashly inviting them.

After thinking for a long time, Qu Ning smiled, found a rattan and tied the two feet of the carrier pigeon to a tree pole on the side of the mountain road.

Mai Dong and Xiao Quanzi really didn't dare to eat, no matter how hungry they were. Eating meat in the imperial mausoleum, once discovered, is to be executed.
