Family Has a Concubine

Ye Tangcai didn't know when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she was already lying in the exquisite room.

Beneath her body was a soft bed, with moon-white cotton spun gauze curtains hanging lightly on both sides of the bed.

The room was lit with silver charcoal again, and it was warm.

Ye Tangcai's whole body sank on the bed, her heavy eyelids opened, her body moved slightly, as if it was about to fall apart, and her legs were so painful that she couldn't help herself.

At this time, Hui Ran came in with a copper tray, and seeing Ye Tangcai on the bed had opened her eyes, she was overjoyed: The third grandma is awake.

Said that he hurried forward, put the copper plate in his hand on the red lacquered plate rack beside him, and shouted outside: Come here, doctor.

Someone outside agreed, and Hui Ran sat by the bed and looked at Ye Tangcai: Third Grandma, what's the matter with you? Is there any pain? Is there something wrong?

Ye Tangcai hummed twice: It's okay. In fact, her whole body was in pain.

Huiran said that the circles of her eyes were a little red: Why did the third grandma suddenly run out...and give us medicine.

But knowing that she ate wontons that night, she lost sleep after eating, and the next morning she and Qing Liu woke up lying on the table, and when they learned that Ye Tangcai was missing, they were so anxious that they almost went crazy.

Unexpectedly, around the same time, a large number of Chu's troops came back.

When they saw Ye Tangcai and Qi Min covered in mud, Huiran and Qingliu couldn't even close their mouths in shock.

At that time, Ye Tangcai had already passed out, so the two of them had to take Ye Tangcai and Qi Min to clean them up. After they were settled, they went to the doctor and asked for medicine. They worked hard for a long time.

Well...I've been sleeping all day, and I'm hungry. Ye Tangcai said, covering her stomach.

It wasn't a day, but I slept for two days and two nights. Hui Ran stood up as she spoke, I'll ask someone to bring the food.

With that said, Huiran hurried out and called Qingliu to the kitchen to get something.

After a while, Qing Liu came forward with a tray, on which was a bowl of bird's nest chicken shredded red date porridge, a plate of steamed dumplings, and a bowl of crystal cake.

Ye Tangcai was still panicking, but she was really hungry, so she ate all the porridge and steamed dumplings in one go.

Huiran hurried out again, and after a while, brought Ye Tangcai another bowl of porridge and a few steamed buns, and Ye Tangcai ate again.

She didn't know if she had eaten too much, but she felt cramped again. Just say: Where is the third master?

Huiran and Qingliu looked at each other, Huiran said: The third master and the third grandma were brought back together. He also woke up not long ago and just went out.

Ye Tangcai said: The third master is on the mountain...what's going on?

Hui Ran shook her head: After you came back, we were all busy looking after you, so we didn't have a chance to ask about the situation at that time. I just saw Yu Han outside, so I asked him to come in and ask.

Yuhan? Ye Tangcai was taken aback, Didn't he also be seriously injured?

I'm not sure, but I did see him outside. Huiran said.

That's called to come in. Ye Tangcai said.

Okay. Huiran quickly agreed.

Qingliu had already walked into the closet, and presented Ye Tangcai with a set of clothes.

A black plum blossom jacket, a soft cotton beige skirt with plum petals, and a thick cape of gorilla fur over Ye Tangcai, and a white crane wrapped in a soft cloth was stuffed in her hand. small hand stove.

Ye Tang put his little feet on the ground and hissed in pain.

Qingliu hurriedly bent down, letting Ye Tangcai lie on her back, carried it out of the yard, and put it on the bench in the east corridor. The sun shone down, and it was warm to bathe in it.

Ye Tangcai turned back to Qingliu and said, By the way, where is Minmin?

Miss Qi woke up yesterday, because the third master came back, she couldn't live in the same yard with you, and Ma Zhifu and his family members were all cleared out and locked up, so she lived in the guest room opposite Xikua. Qing Liu said. Do you want to call me now?

No need. Ye Tangcai shook her head quickly, She's no better than me now, let her rest.

Okay. Qingliu nodded.

At this time, Yu Han stepped over the courtyard gate, followed Hui and walked towards this side: Third grandma!

Ye Tangcai said, Aren't you injured? I saw you lying in the cave at that time.

Yu Han was still a little scared when he said that: I got a little injury, scratched my back by the animal's claws. But it wasn't too serious. The trauma was nothing, but at that time, another poisonous snake rushed over, and the snake's venom entered my body. It is the poison that makes people lose consciousness for a while. After going down the mountain, after drinking the medicine for a day and a night, it clears up. The poison comes and goes quickly.

Prefect Ma gave you poison, how did you avoid the poisonous snake? Ye Tangcai said.

Yu Han said: Actually, we have taken precautions.

At that time, they followed Chu Yunpan to chase the bandits to Dongniu Mountain. The bandits fled to the mountain. The mountains are dense and there are not enough people. The bandits can easily escape.

If we let them escape again, I don't know how long it will take.

Yu Hui and Hong Guangshou did have some skills, otherwise they wouldn't have been a disaster for several years.

So you can't support the big ones, you can only surround the mountains.

At that time, people went to the city mansion to ask Yu Yang and Ma Zhifu to lead the reinforcements.

As a man who rescued the entire Daqi, as a general who was trying his best to turn the tide at the border, if he saw someone running up the mountain, he would recklessly follow him, regardless of the environment or the situation, and rush up like a stunned young man. He would not come back alive from Yu'an pass.

Therefore, before Ma Zhifu came over, he was going to find someone to inquire about Dongniu Mountain. What's more, that nest of thieves fled strangely. It was obviously safer and better to flee north, but they chose to go south.

Was it in a panic, or was it premeditated?

In either case, he had to be cautious and investigate carefully.

At this time, from a distance, I saw a girl in blue clothes with braids coming, with a betel on her back, and a faint scent of medicine wafted from behind her. It seemed that she was a girl picking herbs.

Yu Han immediately stopped him and asked: Girl, our general has chased the bandits so far, and the bandits have fled into the mountain in front of us. I don't know if there is anything to pay attention to in the mountain.

The herbal girl raised her eyes and saw that on a big rock not far away, the young general was sitting there with a golden knife and a horse, with a Qingluan sword inserted into the snow a little, with a big hand on the hilt.

The young general was extremely handsome, his sword-like eyebrows pressed down with fierce wind and frost, and his red flame armor made him a little more sinister.

It is so majestic and handsome that people dare not look at it more.

The herb-gathering girl lowered her eyes, and only said to Yu Han: Master Huijun, snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant on the mountain, but there are no such things in the winter. But I heard that a tiger came up the mountain from nowhere, I don't know if it is true or not. Besides, there is one more thing, please pay attention to the soldiers.

What's the matter? Yu Han asked.

The snake on the mountain is called the Red Underworld Snake. The herb-gathering woman said, Although they are hibernating in the twelfth lunar month, if you throw the green grass into the fire and burn it, if they get the smell of smoke from the green grass, they will wake up. , and launched an attack.

And this thing? Yu Han was shocked.

Yes. The herbal girl nodded, and saw that she untied the medicinal beetle on her back, and took out a large handful of green medicinal herbs from the betel, Biluocao can attract snakes, and this evening primrose can make them avoid it. .”

At this time, there was a clanging sound, and I saw that Chu Yunpan had already walked over, his figure was majestic and straight, Why do you have these things on your body?

The herbal girl said: I am a villager from Nanjiaao in front of me. My father is a doctor in the village. I have learned medicine from him since I was a child. In order to make more money, we catch red snakes and sell their snake gall for money. So, We usually collect these herbs for attracting snakes and avoiding them.

Yu Han nodded suddenly.

At this time, Chu Yunpan took out a small silver coin and stuffed it into the hand of the herbal girl: We bought this herb.

The herbal girl was startled, put the money on the ground quickly, put the betel on her back, and left: This herb is worthless. There are a lot of it by the pond not far away, but the villagers don't know its magical effect. The general caught the thief. For the sake of our people, how can we accept your money. There is only one, this is my livelihood, I hope the general will not tell about the herbal medicine that attracts snakes.

Okay. Chu Yunpan nodded.

The herbal girl left in a hurry.

Yu Han looked at the back of the girl picking herbs, and sighed slightly: What a nice and honest villager.

Chu Yunpan smiled slightly.

Yu Han said again: However, third master, why are you buying these herbs?

Just in case. Chu Yunpan raised his eyebrows, Leave it alone.

Chu Yunpan has always been a person who never takes too much protection.

Unexpectedly, Ma Zhifu came after a while and said that he would go to the town to clean up the dust for him. After Chu Yunpan refused, he insisted on roasting game.

In fact, before that, Chu Yunpan had asked someone to beat a pheasant back and eat it with the army.

Because Chu Yunpan believes that physical strength is the most important thing for soldiers. Since he has time and resources, how can he make his soldiers hungry.

But Ma Zhifu's appearance of not giving up without praising him once made Chu Yunpan suspicious, so he agreed to him.

Ma Zhifu asked people to hunt, and the hunting time was too short.

Even his army is not as fast as those half-toned officials in Ma Zhifu. No matter how strange it looked, these prey seemed to have been prepared long ago.

He also thought of what the herbal girl said about throwing a certain kind of grass into the fire, and if it was smoked by it, it could attract snakes, so he guessed that the Ma Zhifu had ghosts in his heart, and he still used snakes to attack.

He secretly asked people to distribute the evening primrose he got from the herbal girl to every brother of the Chu family army.

The Chu family's army and the yachamen went up the mountain together in a team, which also made Zhifu Ma unsuspecting, because snakes can really attack people, but it is the yachamen who attack.

He originally thought that they would pretend to be dead so that Zhifu Ma could lure out the nest of thieves, but suddenly a tiger jumped out, disrupting his plan.

Ma Zhifu was forced to go down the mountain.

He was wounded and bleeding profusely.

And those Red Underworld Snakes who woke up from hibernation didn't attack him because of the antidote, but they smelled blood and bit them.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoer, the herb-gathering girl, came back again and saved him and Yu Han.

He had no choice but to let Chu Jiajun lie on the ground and pretend to be dead while healing his wounds. In any case, he could only show up when he saw the bandits come out to meet Ma Zhifu.
