Chapter 20 Wild Vegetables

After the thunderstorm, the weather turned warm almost instantly, and even the wind was no longer so cold, and it even brought a little warmth at noon.

Yuan Jia took Yi Xuefeng to pick wild vegetables on the mountain, tender bracken, shepherd's purse, purslane... All kinds of wild vegetables almost came out with a rain, occupying a lot of space on their respective hilltops. Small site.

Yuan Jia knew a lot about these wild vegetables.When he was a child, he followed his mother to the adults to collect them.It's just that girls do this kind of thing, he is a boy... If he refuses to do it, he will be beaten by his parents.

Yuan Jia was considered a skilled worker, and Yi Xuefeng only had to carry the basket.

Half a day, a basket of wild vegetables, plus a basket of bamboo shoots.

After returning home, Yuan Jia taught Yi Xuefeng how to handle the bamboo shoots. He drew a vertical line with the dagger, turned left and right, and pulled off the bamboo shoots: "This is the thunder bamboo shoot. It will pop out after the thunder. It's delicious. Do you want to eat bamboo shoots?" Eat like this?"

Yi Xuefeng heard it fresh, and was about to answer, but felt like a thorn in his back, so he couldn't help turning the conversation around: "I love bamboo shoots. What does Yuan Shao want to do?"

"It's fine to put soup and oil to stew and stir-fry." Yuan Jia handed over the task of peeling the bamboo shoots to Yi Xuefeng, and bowed his head to pick wild vegetables.The wild vegetables are actually quite clean, but it is inevitable that they will be stained with other grasses, leaves and so on.

Fan Haoxuan stood aside for a long time, but Yuan Jia didn't see him, so he could only order sullenly: "I want to eat spring bamboo shoots braised in oil."

Yuan Jia was taken aback by the voice close at hand: "Brother, you're back." Well, now he has become very proficient at calling this brother.

Three big men, it's okay to only eat vegetarian and not meat.Fan Haoxuan not only set fishing nets and shrimp baskets in the river, but also set many traps on the mountain.Leaving aside the fishing nets and shrimp baskets, those traps seem to be quite elaborate. At that time, Fan Haoxuan took Yi Xuefeng with him, and the two of them tossed about mysteriously for several days.Of course, the harvest is also good.

Fan Haoxuan was holding a pheasant and a muntjac in his hand.The two prey were still alive, and I don't know how Fan Haoxuan handled them. There was no wound on the surface, but the extent of the struggle was very small.

Yi Xuefeng moved two pots with a wink.

With a touch of Fan Haoxuan's finger, the pheasant's neck was cut open, and the chicken's blood fell into the basin.Yi Xuefeng took the pheasant and bled it, and Fan Haoxuan then bled the deer.

Yuan Jia sprinkled some salt into the blood, thinking that when the blood freezes, it will be delicious to make blood soup, and there are also chili peppers, which can also be used to make Mao Xue Wang.It's a pity that he didn't live up to his brother, many foods were banned by Yi Xuefeng.

After the bloodletting, the skinning and deboning was done by the river.

Fan Haoxuan invited Yuan Jia: "Go with brother."

Yuan Jia looked at so many things, Fan Haoxuan really couldn't handle it alone, so he stood up and followed: "Well, I'll make more wild vegetables tonight."

Fan Haoxuan was very appreciative: "Then I will eat more."

"You really eat more, you lose your temper." There were so many nosebleeds yesterday.Um?Is this supposed to replenish blood or defeat fire?

When Fan Haoxuan heard Yuan Jia's concern, he was very upset, but felt a little stuffy, so he could only change the subject: "Is this chicken stew?"

Yuan Jia nodded: "It's ok. Take out the chicken giblets and fry the chicken giblets to eat."

While talking, the two had reached the river.Seeing that Yuan Jia was about to attack, Fan Haoxuan quickly pulled him aside: "Look from the side, the chilblains on your hands haven't healed yet, and you want to touch cold water?"

Yuan Jia twitched the corner of his mouth: "Let me boil some hot water first."

Ever since Fan Haoxuan expanded the scope of his inspections once or twice, there have been more things in the house.Because they often deal with prey by the river, they also built a shed by the river.There are stoves and pots inside, and a lot of firewood.The quality of this shed is better than the one Yi Xuefeng lived in.

Yuan Jia scooped water from the water tank, lit a fire to heat it up, and began to pluck the chicken.

Fan Haoxuan looked back, and warned: "Be careful not to burn it." In his heart, he didn't want Yuan Jia to do any chores, but he knew it wouldn't work.

Yuan Jia's dagger has been used very smoothly, and he can also handle things like killing chickens under Fan Haoxuan's guidance.

The muntjac will not work.

Yuan Jia watched as Fan Haoxuan roughly divided a muntjac, and most of the uneaten parts were salted and hung up on strings.

There are two aquatic plants hanging on the fishing net in the river.The harvest of shrimp baskets is similar.

Fan Haoxuan straightened the fishing net, put it away and hung it on the bamboo pole.The same goes for the shrimp baskets.

There are few fish in the river.If this small mountain village is not remote enough, there is nothing to be found in the mountains at the moment.

Fortunately, there are few of them, and the food is still plentiful now.Life always goes on.

Fan Haoxuan washed his hands with a basin of hot water left by Yuan Jia, and after confirming that there was no peculiar smell on his hands, he stretched out his hands to straighten Yuan Jia's hair: "Don't worry, we will leave Jeju City after a while."

Yuan Jia was stunned.This was the first time he heard from Fan Haoxuan that he wanted to leave clearly.

Jeju City is not a place to stay forever.He knew this, and Fan Haoxuan and Yi Xuefeng knew it even more.It's just that if they don't mention it, there are always their plans, so he just pretends not to know.

In fact, occasionally he would think that it would be nice to live in a small mountain village like this all the time.The days are smooth and stable, even if the flames of war burn here in the future, it will be very safe to hide in the formation of the bamboo forest.

Or maybe, after opening his eyes, he returned to that familiar place...

"Yuan Yuan?" Fan Haoxuan packed up his things, saw Yuan Jia was still in a daze, and patted his shoulder, "Why are you in a daze? I'm going back."

go back?When Yuan Jia heard this word, he was still in a daze, and then he lowered his head and responded softly: "Well, let's go."

Feeling something was wrong, Fan Haoxuan put back the things in his hands, gently held Yuan Jia's face in his hands, lowered his head to examine carefully: "Why are you unhappy?"

The two got very close.When Fan Haoxuan was talking, Yuan Jia could almost feel Fan Haoxuan's breath on his face, the air flow with temperature and humidity made him take a step back uncomfortably, and turned his face: "It's okay, I'm going back. "

Fan Haoxuan watched Yuan Jia take two steps forward before following him, vainly guarding behind him.There was originally a dirt road here, and a water bridge was built with bluestone strips beside it.But after the villagers left, the dirt road was flooded with weeds and the water bridge collapsed.

Their arrival has stepped on the dirt road again, but it is still difficult to walk.Yuan Jia's legs and feet were bad, and he walked back slowly, it was already dark.

Yi Xuefeng lit the torch, and the whole kitchen was very bright.He pointed to the back room: "I lit the firepit, and the water is hot on it."

Being a housekeeper was his own initiative.As a result, Yi Xuefeng found that he was not at all competent as a housekeeper.The clothes are not clean, and even the cooking has to be done by the master.With such a high IQ, Yi Xuefeng always thinks about how to improve his life.

Cooking is not good, as a literati, no matter it is true elegance or arty, he will have two hands in cooking tea and wine.It is not difficult to make a firepit like cats and tigers, and the rest is simple.

Yuan Jia took a look and smiled: "Thank you. Wait a minute, I'll cook."

Now there are two pots, Fan Haoxuan built a new stove.Fan Haoxuan chopped vegetables, Yi Xuefeng lit the fire, and Yuan Jia cooked.With the cooperation of the three people, I just feel that it will be done in a short while.

Dinner was very rich.

After eating, Yi Xuefeng did not leave, but was stopped by Fan Haoxuan: "Butler Yi, how long do we think we can stay here?"

Yi Xuefeng did not expect Fan Haoxuan to ask such a question: "It will be summer at most. After a while, Prince... Liang Lu should be able to completely stabilize Jeju City, and then we have to start cleaning the surrounding area. This little Although the mountain village is relatively remote, there are local chronicles in the yamen, so it won't take too long to find them."

From the speed of Yi Xuefeng's answer, it can be seen that he has been thinking about this question for a long time.

"Liang Lu doesn't need to worry too much. There are not many people who know us. Even if someone comes, we should be able to get through with a little change. There is one more thing that needs to be guarded against." Yi Xuefeng paused, "Rogue."

The composition of Rogue is complex.

When the refugees in the abandoned villages robbed supplies, they could be regarded as rogues.

The Jiyang Mountain bandits they met in the small mountain village could also be called rogue bandits.

Even, they themselves, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rogues.

Rogues are extremely mobile, no one knows when and where they will emerge, and they are extremely aggressive.Although Fan Haoxuan's force value is high, there are times when two fists are no match for four hands.

It was Yuan Jia who made Yi Xuefeng unable to see through.What made him even more confused was Fan Haoxuan's attitude towards Yuan Jia.As far as Fan Haoxuan was in the capital in the past, although there were not many nobles and grandchildren who came to propose marriage, there were quite a lot of ordinary wealthy families who came to propose marriage.Not to mention those men and women who thought of stuffing it directly into the door as gifts in the past.

At that time, Fan Haoxuan didn't nod at all, except that his face became a little colder, there was no other change at all.At that time Qin Zhuo also said that Fan Haoxuan was an incomprehensible wood.

However, in front of Yuan Jia, Fan Haoxuan seemed to have completely changed himself.What worries Yi Xuefeng the most is that Fan Haoxuan's attitude has long been understood to be unacceptable, but both Fan Haoxuan and Yuan Jia regard each other as good brothers.

Yi Xuefeng took the torch and went back to the room. After a brief wash, he curled up under the blanket, feeling a small cold wind blowing on his head, and cursed softly: "Tsk, let's continue brother. Look at how many nosebleeds you, Commander Fan, Lord Fan have. How streamy? Let’s see how long you can endure it?”

Fan Haoxuan just poured out the dirty water after washing.

Yuan Jia took down the pot from the fire pit, and turned down the fire inside a little.

"Don't like it? Is it because the fire is too bright to sleep?"

"No, it's too hot." I've been sweating a bit in the morning these days.It's not as convenient to take a shower now, so it's better to save a little.

Fan Haoxuan hugged him and put him on the bed: "Hold it a little bit. It rained just a few days ago, and the humidity in the room is heavy, your legs can't stand the moisture. Go to bed as soon as you finish washing, and let me know if you have anything to do." do, huh?"

Yuan Jia nodded sullenly, turned sideways, and soon fell asleep in Fan Haoxuan's arms.

In the light of the fire, the boy in his arms turned red and his teeth turned white. The light and shadow changes brought about by the jumping firelight made the boy's closed eyes a little seductive.Fan Haoxuan's hand unconsciously slid down the boy's head and neck.

Be patient, and when we get there, we will not let Yuan Jia do those trivial things again.
