Chapter 188: Snake Hunting

"Whew...... Why is it so cold? ”

Xiao Ru stood on a cliff. Stomping his feet, he stretched out his hand to sweep the moisture on his body, and remembered the information that the old man Tang inadvertently revealed, the Liu family had seen a snake disaster, at that time there was no trace of the Liu family, and the Liu Dynasty was still young...... It can be said that the Liu family is very afraid of snakes.

A snow-white white crane, with a long roar, spun around in mid-air, and landed beside Xiao Ru, who had a blue-green, slightly yellowed gourd hanging from its long neck, and Xiao Ru took it off. Unscrewed the lid and poured a sip of the medicinal wine brewed by Tai Sui, a warm current flowed in the blood, and the body, which was a little stiff because of the cold mountain wind, regained its vitality again, hung the gourd on the neck of the white crane again, and took down the medicine basket on the tiger's obedient back, Xiaoru couldn't help frowning.

"It's not yet time for snakes to hibernate, is it?"

In Xiaoru's medicine basket, in addition to putting a lot of herbs, there are more than a dozen snakes, some black, some cyan and some white, two or three meters long, the thickness of the arm, the short one is only a dozen centimeters long, some are poisonous and some are non-toxic, Xiaoru doesn't know much about these, however, when I came to collect medicine in the past, I ran into them from time to time, but now I came to look for them, but suddenly there were a lot less, and after looking for most of the morning, I didn't even find a medicine basket, no wonder Xiaoru was a little resentful.

After drinking a little wine to warm up, he found a flat big bluestone and sat down, and opened the food box that Xiaoyan had prepared. The dim sum inside is okay, soft and delicious, however, some of the nutritious ginseng soup has been cold.

Xiaoru picked it up and ate a few bites at random, lit the fire, took out some bacon and passed the exam, and obediently got a green sheep, Xiaoru asked for two lamb legs to roast, and the others went into the tiger's mouth.

After eating some hot food, Xiao Ru leaned on the obedient soft fur, although the autumn wind was cold, but the body temperature of the obedient was still enough to make Xiao Ru feel warm all over, and tossed all morning, even if Xiao Ru's physical strength has always been good, in the end she is just a woman, she is still a little tired, she can't close her eyes when she is hot, and she is ready to rest for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Xiaoru was in a daze, and when she was about to fall asleep, her body suddenly shook. Suddenly felt the obedient muscles under him tense, and then heard a low tiger roar, Xiao Ru was startled, opened his eyes, and saw that the dirty old man didn't know when he actually walked to his side, was squatting down, and gnawed on the leg of mutton on the fire, he wore a whitened torn jacket, the collar was faintly black, and the unkempt hair was shiny, and when he shook slightly, there was a pile of snow-white dandruff rolling down.

Xiao Ru blinked, patted the obedient who was obviously in a state of excitement, and quieted it down, this guy has been a little frizzy recently, it's almost winter, I don't know 'hibernation', and I always like to go to the mountains to make trouble everywhere, but unfortunately, there are no big beasts in the mountains near Lou's house, too far away, Xiao Ru won't let it go, so that this child always wants to go crazy, follow Xiao Ru all the way up the mountain, see a sheep, a deer, and have to chase for a long time to play enough to catch it back, at this time suddenly a stranger who grabbed food, no wonder it came to the momentum!

Watch the old man munch on his leg of mutton. Xiaoru didn't know what to say for a while, but she was embarrassed in her heart, what is this, look at this appearance, if you put it inside, she would definitely think that she is a master of the world like Hong Qigong, but this is reality after all, if it is really a master, how can it be mixed with this virtue, I am afraid that he is a poor person who hides in the mountains because he is hiding from the war, and he doesn't know the years! Xiao Ru because she wants to collect medicine, trekking through the mountains and forests all the year round, she has seen a lot of such people, all of them are dressed like this, at the beginning, Xiao Ru really has the illusion of meeting a master, however, she has met more times, and she will not daydream, since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are not many such people in recent years. It's just that I didn't expect that there are also suburbs in the capital?

"Ahem...... Would you like some wine, old gentleman? ”

Seeing that the old man was choked and rolled his eyes, the corners of Xiao Ru's mouth twitched, and he handed over the wine gourd on his waist, and the man was not polite, he picked it up and poured it violently, and after pouring it, he hung it on his own broken belt.

Xiao Ru was stunned for a moment, and the old man grinned and smiled. showed a mouthful of yellow-green teeth: "I used it, you can't use it either, little lady, hehe, just give it to me, don't waste it." ”

Xiaoru was speechless, even if it was true, don't say it so openly......

"Little lady, your skills are not small, you actually got so many snakes, I like to drink snake soup the most, and the craftsmanship is good, it is better to ......"

Xiao Ru waved her hand, obediently ran over, picked up the medicine basket and walked back to her, "I'm sorry, I use this thing." ”

Sighing in her heart, Xiaoru stood up, hesitated, and said with a smile: "I still have to collect medicine, so I will retire first...... Old man, this year has been Chongzhi for 12 years, and under the rule of Emperor Mingwu of Great Xia, the world is already peaceful......"

After speaking, Xiaoru turned around and left, but she didn't expect that the old man actually stood up, carrying a leg of mutton in his hand, and followed her slowly, even if he grinned and roared obediently from time to time, he was not afraid.

Xiao Ru's degree is not slow, sometimes she has to climb the mountain wall, the steel claw iron lock thrown out casually, all kinds of gadgets, all make the old man look staggering, running before and after asking non-stop, at first Xiao Ru didn't want to take care of her, if it was usual. When Xiao Ru is in a good mood, maybe she will chat with him, but today, Xiao Ru really doesn't have that interest, but, after walking for a long time, Xiao Ru grabbed some snakes in the grass and picked some medicinal herbs, and the old man was able to keep up, which made people very surprised, although Xiao Ru's physical strength may not be as good as that of a perennial hunter, but, don't look at her as a woman, but her physical strength is all years of hard work in climbing mountains and mountains, and it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people, even if this old man is physically strong when he is young, But now his face is full of wrinkles, looking up and down, no matter how you look at it, he is fifty or sixty years old, and he still has such good physical strength, which is really unusual......

This person always followed, and Xiao Ru didn't dare to summon the snakes in the distance casually, so he was even slower, so he couldn't help frowning, and turned back with a wry smile: "Old man, may I ask what you are doing with it?" Is there something wrong? ”

Originally, Xiaoru thought that the old man was very likely to play a scoundrel and say a few words - this mountain road is not your family, I am willing to go, what is the matter with you, but I never thought that this old man was very simple, and when he saw Xiaoru asking, he immediately nodded very neatly, and said: "That...... You're Gao Xiaoru, right? ”

Xiao Ru was stunned, raised her head, carefully scanned the old man from head to toe, shook her head and said, "I don't know you." ”

"I don't know you either, but I know that you are the descendant of Hua Tuo, and your medical skills are good!"

Looking at the old man's face that suddenly became very serious, Xiao Ru suddenly realized that she was looking for her to see a doctor, however, this rumor is getting more and more outrageous, at first some people said that she was proficient in Hua Tuo's magic skills, which made a little sense, after all, it was she who made this illusion, but as her reputation grew, all kinds of rumors became varied, and now, she has become Hua Tuo's descendant, Xiao Ru changed her mind, it doesn't matter if she arrives, anyway, the divine doctor Hua Tuo has already made an ancient world, and it is impossible to jump out of the grave to demolish her——" Sir, if you have a patient at home, you can go to my hospital. ”

Xiaoru looked at the sky, it was already past noon at this time, she had to go back before dark, today was not going well, the snakes caught were not enough at all, she wanted to make a shocking scene this time, at least she had to get tens of thousands of snakes, and there had to be some deterrent snakes. Xiao Ru felt that she couldn't entangle with this old man anymore, so she turned around and continued to walk forward.

"Hey, Gao Xiaoru, next year, you will go to the general consultation of your Compassion Medical Association, right?"

Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Of course I will." "I have received an invitation from the Elders of the Compassion Doctor, if I don't go, those old doctors don't know how to get angry, those people are all treasures in the medical world, if something goes wrong with the anger, their disciples and grandchildren will not be able to eat themselves?

"See you then, I hope you're not in vain."

Throwing down such a sentence, the old man turned around and began to walk back slowly, Xiaoru was stunned, at this time he was a little confused, this old man doesn't look like a doctor, if he sees a doctor, then he must hurry up, the sooner the better, how can there be a reason to wait for the general consultation, since he is not coming to see a doctor, then ...... Could it be a peer who came to find fault?

Xiaoru frowned, carefully searched in her mind for a long time, she still had no impression of this old man, she practiced medicine all over the world, and she knew countless doctors, but even if she visited Langzhong, there was no such bad reason, most of the doctors were more hygienic, and it was difficult to tolerate their dirtiness...... Forget it, let's talk about it later, the main thing at present is the problem of Liu Sanshao's bastard!

"Well, let's continue." Xiaoru shook her head, got rid of all distractions, and began to look for snakes all over the mountains again.

At midnight, the moon stars were scarce, and Xiaoru finally couldn't rush home before dark, so she had to let Duoduo come back first to report safety.

Taking advantage of the night, knocked on the door of the building, put down the medicine basket, Xiao Ru breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she feel back pain, and her whole body was very stiff, it was late at night, and the people of the Lou family had fallen asleep except for the caretaker, Xiao Ru sighed, did not wake up the drowsy little maid on duty at night, and was about to make a basin of water by herself, wash up, and saw the bedroom door squeak and open.

There was a candlestick lit on the table in the bedroom, and the fire was very faint, but it reflected Lou Yi's ordinary face with a charming halo.

"Coming back?" Lou Yi opened the door, pulled Xiaoru into the house, went to get her a basin of hot water, took a snow-white hot towel, and brought a bowl of steaming chicken soup, "I know that you came back late, so I deliberately warmed it, so let's make do with it." ”

Leaning on the bed, let Lou Yi help her wipe her hands and face, the light in the room was very dim, but Xiaoru felt that the heat in her heart couldn't stop surging out, and in the crib next to the bed, there was a white fat baby who was sleeping heavily, and her father-in-law was busy bringing water and food for her......

The hot towel was wiped on her face, Xiao Ru moaned comfortably, in her two lives, she had never seriously considered what kind of lover she wanted, but now, she knew, a man who was willing to leave a light for her was enough.
