Chapter 3 Recuperation in the Village
Everyone encouraged each other and supported each other, and when they arrived in the village, they were exhausted, Chen Bin showed signs of fever, and what was worse was that the turbulent life had been too long, and most of the men in the village had gone out to join the army.
Wen Yi inquired about the thatched hut where the family was gone, and simply cleaned up, and let Chen Bin rest, they had no clothes, food, quilts, and no silver.
But it's also nice to think that you don't have to sleep on the streets!
Old Madam Chen saw the thatched hut with only two beds and leaking air everywhere, sighed heavily, and Wen Yi said: "Old lady, it will be fine, I'll go find something to eat first, and I will have strength when I am full!" ”
Saying that, he turned around and left, inquired in many ways, and found the mountains where the farmers in the village hunted, and fortunately there was no environmental pollution in this era, there was no indiscriminate logging, and there were many animals in the forest.
It's just that these little guys are very fast, which is different from the domestic ones, but this is not difficult for Wen Yi.
A few hours passed, Wen Yi looked at the three rabbits in his hand, and felt that his body was still too weak, and when he went down the mountain, he met Da Zhuang who told her that she could hunt on the mountain.
The villagers here were warm-hearted, and after learning that Wen Yi's family had a sick person in urgent need of money, they told her that there was someone in the next village who collected prey, and took her on a trip himself.
Three rabbits and three taels of silver, Wen Yi carefully asked the butcher what kind of prey he received and returned to the village with Brother Da Zhuang, and on the way, Da Zhuang also invited a doctor to Chen Bin, and Wen Yi also bought some clothes, rice noodles, and quilts!
This era may be poor and the conditions are not good, but the people are simple, kind and warm-hearted. It's not like she where everyone is for themselves, and everything has to be profitable, which is chilling.
Back at the hut, Chen Bin really had a fever, and the doctor said that he was too injured to see it, so he simply prescribed some antipyretic medicine and left.
Wen Yi put the food in the house, thinking that there were still anti-inflammatory herbs on the mountain, so he went out to pick them again, and when he hurried back, it was dark, and when he saw Chen Ping and the old lady, he realized that they hadn't eaten for a day.
Wen Yi was used to starving and freezing in the last days, and now he hurriedly cooked some porridge, and it was not difficult for Wen Yi to make a fire to cook, but he was stunned by Chen Ping and the old lady, "Sister-in-law, you are so powerful that you can do anything!" ”
Wen Yi smiled and said, "Eat quickly, are you hungry?" ”
While they were eating, Wen Yi hurriedly boiled the herbs again, picked up a bowl of porridge and went to see Chen Bin.
The old lady stopped and said, "You eat first, and then go after eating, we just came from Bin'er, the fever has subsided, it's okay, don't be in a hurry for this meeting." ”
As he spoke, he pressed Wen Yi the stone bench, picked up a bowl of porridge and put it in her hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Seeing the things in this room, there is food and drink, although Wen Yi said it lightly, but how can she not know the hardships involved, not to mention that she is still a girl's family!
Wen Yi looked at the old lady's expression, and knew what she thought, she wanted to say that it was okay, just hunting, it was commonplace for her, but she was afraid that she would think that she was forcing a smile, and she suddenly felt a headache about it.
After eating, she went to see Chen Bin, his state was very bad, she was sad: "Chen Bin, there is no doctor with excellent medical skills here, only ordinary herbs, you have to hold on to yourself, you still have your mother and younger brother to protect, are you really willing to fall like this with grievances?" Only when you wake up can there be hope and qualification! Did you hear that? ”
At night, Wen Yi arranged for Chen Ping to rest with the old lady, and guarded Chen Bin by himself, fortunately, he brought a few more quilts during the day, otherwise he would really be frozen.
In a daze, Wen Yi felt someone touch her forehead, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Bin looking at her quietly, Wen Yi quickly touched his forehead and smiled: "Chen Bin, are you okay?" Let's drink the porridge. ”
As soon as he felt cold, he hurriedly wanted to go down and warm it up, but Chen Bin drank it when he picked it up, and his expression seemed to say, it's good to have it, what are you afraid of when it's cold!
Wen Yi saw that he was in good spirits, so she told him what happened yesterday! He paused when he heard her hunt the rabbit and said, "Wen Yi is really amazing!" ”
I don't know why her face is a little hot! However, she still told him her concerns: "I originally wanted to hunt some other animals today, I wanted to look for them, I was afraid that it would be too noticeable, Chen Ping is still young and needs nutritional supplements, so I ate a little porridge yesterday, and if it goes on like this, he will not be able to stand it." ”
Chen Bin was silent for a while after hearing this: "Wen Yi, I know, you just do what you want, the rest is with me, I have other arrangements, we will be fine." ”
Wen Yi was very happy when she heard this, she knew how Chen Bin could be willing to do this. During this time, she heard Chen Ping talk a lot about the past of the General's Mansion.
Knowing that Chen Bin's military power has not yet been handed over to the imperial court, what kind of existence is the border pass general who holds military power in this era?
If the emperor wants to deal with him, doesn't he only dare to deceive him back from the border pass? Wen Yi was very happy when she thought that she would have a thigh hug here in the future, she wanted to take good care of Chen Bin, and maybe she would be able to make a princess in the future.
Of course, she only admired Chen Bin when she took care of him at the beginning, and now she is even happier to know that Chen Bin will bring her a better life in the future.
Wen Yi repeatedly told him to have a good rest, so he went to the back mountain to hunt, today she was not satisfied with turning at the foot of the mountain, she walked to the center of the mountain, and sure enough, there were many more prey in it than below.
It's a pity that her physical speed is not good, and one of the hyenas she fancies ran away, and she only hit a few rabbits.
When I got home at noon, I saw the old lady tidying up the room and the dishes and chopsticks. Wen Yi was afraid that she would be broken, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The old lady said: "Except for Chen Ping, Chen Bin and I will do it, I used to live with the old general at the border, where the conditions are difficult, and I have to do everything by myself, but I haven't done it in the past few years, don't worry!" ”
Wen Yi heard that she was relieved a lot, she would do it, she hurriedly took out the rabbit, slaughtered one to eat at noon, and put the rest to sell in the afternoon, only with silver in her hand did she feel safe.
Make a fire to cook rice, cook rabbit meat, there is no oil at home, Wen Yi put the oil on the rabbit in the pot and fry it, and then put the rabbit meat when the oil is out.
Yesterday, I only bought some salt, and I didn't have any condiments, but she had eaten boiled meat before, as long as she could eat it to her heart's content, stir-fry and cook it with water, this is her usual cooking style.
After serving them on the table, he helped Chen Bin to the table to eat, and Wen Yi said embarrassedly: "I will only cook them, as for the color and fragrance, I dare not guarantee it, you will just take it?" I'm not very good at cooking. ”
Chen Ping hurriedly said: "It smells fragrant, how can my sister-in-law say that she can't cook." The old lady also said, "It's delicious." ”
Wen Yi took a bite and felt okay, she looked at the silent Chen Bin, thinking that he was unpalatable, and hurriedly said: "I'll sell the rabbit in the afternoon, and then buy some condiments and come back to cook it next time. ”
Chen Bin originally felt that Wen Yi was like a shining gem, how good he looked, it was difficult for such a girl to get along with him day and night.
He was so enthusiastic that he didn't dare to look at her, but he didn't expect her to misunderstand him, and he panicked: "Does Wen Yi know why a rabbit can be sold for one or two pieces of silver?" ”
Seeing her puzzled eyes, "Because there are almost no people in the village who can eat meat now, although everyone also goes hunting, they can rarely catch anything." In this era, everyone is busy farming and coolies, so how can they have time to learn archery and hunting? Now we almost all dig wild vegetables to eat, and the meal we ate is already very good. ”
After hearing this, Wen Yi said: "I don't know how to shoot arrows, I saw the hyena and let it run away today, I caught a rabbit." ”
Chen Bin choked before he thought of Wen Yi's strange body style, speed. After thinking for a while, he said, "You can inquire about where there are bows and arrows to sell in the afternoon, buy one and come back, and I will go with you next time." ”
