Taking a short break in the field at noon was too big a blow to Ye Zhiqing. She washed her face by the stream, nibbled on a few mouthfuls of dry food handed over by the accompanying guards, then climbed into the carriage with her head bowed, shrank into the corner to grow mushrooms, and never mentioned the words "leave Fucheng County and leave me behind", for fear that Zhou Hong would think of it and throw her into this wilderness.

Her appearance fell in Zhou Hong's eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked, pretending not to know.

Zhou Hong was born in a family of military generals, the Zhou family has guarded the southeast coast for many years, with outstanding achievements, and there are many in-laws in the court, and he has seen a lot of battles that have been hollowed out by the people below.

The so-called "righteous daughter" with an innocent family background, no one knows what's going on. Maybe it's from Fireworks Willow Lane, maybe it's a skinny horse for sale, in short, it's a finely tuned thing. The fifteenth year is about real, but the death of both parents is not necessarily.

In the evening, staying in the river, backed by a dilapidated temple, the bamboo forest next to the ruined temple is dense, and the green mountains and green trees stretch in the distance, this time Ye Zhiqing is not as depressed as at noon, but takes the initiative to help.

There were guards collecting firewood for hunting, and she touched the fish by the river, so she stepped forward to add firewood to the fire, and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white arm, standing by the river and whispering softly: "Brother Guard, give me a knife and I will clean up the fish." ”

Wei Yang stood in the river with a red face, almost at a loss, and his eyes didn't know where to put it: "I...... I'll do it. At her insistence, he gave her the fish and the dagger.

Ye Zhiqing squatted on a big stone by the stream, disemboweling the fish that the guards touched, cleaning the internal organs, scraping the fish scales, and cutting oblique knives on both sides, busy in full swing.

Zhou Hong sat next to the fire and asked the captain of the guard, "What is she doing?" ”

Captain Zhou Hao is an orphan adopted by General Zhou, and he grew up with Zhou Hong in the camp, glancing at Ye Zhiqing and Wei Yang, who were busy in the distance, with a tacit understanding, he was a little unsure: "It seems to ...... Are you cleaning up the fish? ”

He has the same idea as Zhou Hong, he is skeptical of Ye Zhiqing's origins, and treats her as a thing that can't be put on the table by the bustard's mother, and always feels that this kind of woman is learning to play and sing, flattering skills, and stay away from the kitchen. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqing picked up the dagger and cleaned up the fish skillfully, but it looked like a regular cook, which was really incomprehensible.

"Let's go over and see."

Wei Yang is a fisherman's boy, the whole village was swept by the Japanese invaders, none of his relatives in his family were spared, leaving him only a teenager, and was later taken back to the southeast water military camp by General Zhou, and became Zhou Hong's personal guard, but the skills of the primary school club have not been lost, and it is easier to fish in the inland river than in the sea.

At first, he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Ye Zhiqing's white arm, as if he could burn him. But Ye Zhiqing didn't realize it herself, and she cleaned up the fish really neatly, no different from the women who often made fish in the fishing village, and even more carefully than them, and then relaxed, and handed it to her happily every time she touched a fish.

Ye Zhiqing picked up a pebble and slammed it on the head of the fish, with a neat and sharp means, knocking the live fish unconscious, and then began to deal with the internal organs and fish scales, and praised his dagger: "Brother Guard, your knife is really sharp." "She is fifteen years old, she is still a little girl, her voice is delicate, her smile is bright, and she unconsciously makes people unload.

Wei Yang kindly explained: "This is a dagger for self-defense, and it has killed people." ”

Ye Zhiqing was originally scraping the fish scales, but she threw the dagger out in a frightened moment, almost piercing Zhou Hong's leg when she came over.

Zhou Hong: "......" hugged his leg early in the morning and cried and begged, and he turned his face after a day?!

Wei Yang's face changed, and he hurriedly defended Ye Zhiqing: "Young General, Miss Ye heard that this dagger had killed people, and she was scared. ”

Zhou Hong: "Do you want to see if the dagger can kill people, so you cut me?" ”

Ye Zhiqing only felt sick to her stomach for a while, she can't say that the vegetables and fruits at home are separated from the raw and cooked meat knives, right? What's more, it's still human flesh, and there is no such option for ingredients at home.

She also knew that Fang Cai was a little hypocritical, but in peacetime, murder was only heard of in the social news, and most of the scenes that were too tragic were mosaic to prevent psychological discomfort. She can endure hardship and tiredness, but the dagger that has killed people to make fish, only to hear that it is still a little unacceptable.

"I heard that the young general is very skilled...... "If you can't dodge, won't it prove that it's better to see than to hear?"

Zhou Hong heard her unfinished meaning and summed her up in four words: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" ”

Zhou Hao and Wei Yang glanced at each other and decided to be completely deaf, so as not to get involved in the lawsuit between the two.

Ye Zhiqing's clothes were purchased by Mrs. He, and she walked in a light and bewitching style, but Ye Zhiqing pulled her sleeves to do rough work, and the pink shirt and white skirt were also stained with fish scales and fish blood that were accidentally splashed up, and she wore the style of a chef, and she was less kitsch.

She cleaned up the fish and asked Wei Yang for some salt to spread evenly on each fish. Wei Yang's scalp was numb, and she only felt that her serious and focused appearance seemed to be massaging these fish to loosen her muscles and bones. She didn't explain much. She found a large piece of flat bluestone slabs, supported them with stones on both sides, made her hands full of mud, and built an open-air stone stove, drew a few sticks of wood from the fire next to her and stuffed them into the stone stove, let the fire burn slowly, and plunged into the forest herself.

Zhou Hong always felt that she was weird: "Wei Yang, you go over and take a look." ”

Wei Yang rubbed past step by step, and seemed extremely reluctant to drill into the forest with her alone: "She won't be ...... It won't be ......"

Zhou Hong suddenly woke up, she was a girl, maybe it would be convenient to go into the forest. Let Wei Yang follow up, what's the matter?

Wei Yang was standing on the edge of the bamboo forest, not worrying that she was alone in the forest, but also afraid of running into embarrassing things, Liang Jin and Wang Hongyang, who had only hunted two pheasants, came out of the forest, and were very puzzled by his appearance: "Wei Yang, what are you practicing with your neck stretched?" ”

The two of them went to the river to clean the pheasants, and when they swept the camp, the little girl who was going to follow the young general was gone, and they were suddenly excited, and whispered: "Wei Yang, this kid is fat enough?" That little girl is smart, the young general doesn't want to see her, he has an idea! ”

"I didn't see that he was still a coward!"

Both of them are good at camping in the wild, but in a few moments, the two pheasants were disemboweled. Before she started cooking, Ye Zhiqing had already come out of the bamboo forest, but she took off the outermost layer of gauze on her body, carried a lot of bits and pieces, and went to the water's edge to wash them.

Zhou Hong's curiosity was amused by her, and he glanced at Wei Yang, lowered his voice, and said, "Go over and see what the hell she is doing?" ”

Wei Yang rubbed at Ye Zhiqing's feet, and when he looked down, he saw that she was cleaning a handful of purple things that looked like bamboo shoots, and there were a lot of mushrooms and wild onions in the gauze she threw on the side, as well as tuber plants stained with soil, and she didn't know what she was doing. He had no experience in talking to a little girl, so he stood there with a red face, glanced at Zhou Hong, and then looked down at the back of Ye Zhiqing's head.

Ye Zhiqing seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he didn't need to ask, so he said happily: "Brother Guard, I was originally going to go to the forest to pick some mushrooms, but I didn't expect to dig up wild ginger, this purple is a wild ginger bud, which can also be eaten." He whispered with a slight side face: "The two guard brothers over there hunted two pheasants, how are you going to eat them?" Would you like to try my bamboo chicken? There are also wild mushrooms, so it should be delicious to go with. ”

There was some begging on her face, and for a moment Wei Yang was reluctant to refuse her request, and said loudly: "Brother Liang, Brother Wang, Miss Ye said that she can make bamboo chickens, why don't you get those two chickens for her?" ”

The people in the army have always been simple and rough to eat, and the two were about to wear branches to roast the pheasant on the fire, when they saw someone taking over, they immediately brought it over and stuffed it into Wei Yang's hand: "If you want it, take it." Turning his head and going to the fire, it was as if Ye Zhiqing, who was squatting aside and washing the fungus, did not exist.

Ye Zhiqing got off the carriage at noon and understood her current situation. If she really wants to be thrown by Zhou Hong halfway, she doesn't even have the power to protect herself. At this time, I was trying to slap these people, but I didn't want to be too annoying: "They...... Do you hate me for being troublesome? ”

Her voice was a little low, Wei Yang couldn't bear to listen to it, and hurriedly explained: "If there is nothing to do, they wish someone would do it." ”

Ye Zhiqing's heart was finally put back in her chest, and she sped up the movements under her hands, and troubled Wei Yang to chop the chicken into small pieces on the cleaned stone slab, mix salt with wild mushrooms, wild ginger slices, and wild ginger buds, and fill them into the cut and rinsed bamboo joints, seal the opening, and put them on the fire to roast.

Zhou Hong and the rest of the guards sat by the fire and watched her roll up her sleeves and toss, Liang Jin and Wang Hongyang muttered in a low voice: "...... This girl won't spoil our dinner, will she? "They are already subconsciously ready to nibble on dry food.

- I didn't hear that bamboo can also cook!

Ye Zhiqing heard what the two of them said, and pretended not to hear it, took down the kettle for boiling water from the carriage, went to the river to fill it, and hung it on the fire to burn. Zhou Hao was already very thirsty, so he ran to the river to drink water, but was stopped by Ye Zhiqing: "Brother Guard, don't drink raw water, the water will boil later." ”

What she didn't know was that the pot on the carriage was specially prepared for the young general Zhou Hong, and if they could live in a post station and drink hot water along the way, they would really sleep in the wilderness, and most of them would drink raw water directly.

"No need, it's comfortable to drink cold water on a hot day."

Ye Zhiqing's brows were knotted: "This river water looks clear, but there may be parasites in the raw water, in case you drink abdominal pain and can't meet the doctor on the road, won't you be guilty?" ”

The strange intuition in Zhou Hao's heart became stronger and stronger, it was originally a "gadget" given to the young general by the order of Fucheng County, but he didn't expect this "gadget" to stand here seriously and rationalize with him about the importance of not drinking raw water, and an unlikely thought finally popped up in his mind: "Could it be ...... Are you a healer? "Has the direction of the bustards outside the direction of training people changed now? From piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to medicine

Ye Zhiqing shook her head: "It's just a little bit of health preservation." "You can't tell him I'm a nutritionist, can you?

When people in this era hear the word "nutritionist", they can't think of her as a neurotic.

Zhou Hao was about to bend down to drink river water, but Ye Zhiqing stopped again: "Since the eldest brother of the guard followed the young general to the front line, he should know that he is in good health in order to protect the foundation of his family and defend the country!" ”

Zhou Hao couldn't cry or laugh: "......" I just drank water, how did I get involved in protecting the family and defending the country?!

However, seeing that Ye Zhiqing was so stubborn, he didn't want to brush her kindness, or waited for the water to boil, each holding a bamboo cup, sitting on the side drinking freshly brewed bamboo leaf tea, waiting to eat grilled fish, even Zhou Hong was no exception.

Zhou Hong's carriage originally had a teacup, but Ye Zhiqing was bold, and after handing him a cup of bamboo leaf tea brewed in a bamboo cup, he also popularized the benefits of bamboo leaf tea for them: "This tea is fragrant and penetrating, the smell is clear, the heart is clear and the lungs are clear, it relieves deficiency and heat irritability, quenches thirst, quenches heat and heat, and uses a bamboo cup to drink, it has a different flavor, and the young general also tries it." ”

Zhou Hao and Liang Jin exchanged meaningful looks, seeing that Zhou Hong did not refuse the little girl's kindness, he took the cup and took a sip, bowed slightly, and raised his chin lightly: "Your fish...... Isn't it burnt? ”
