Chapter 106 Among them is Mr. Xie

What's more, her baits were carefully made from the viscera of wild roe deer, and she caught a fish not long after she cast the fishing rod.

Ruan Qingsong was slightly surprised and hurried back to get a wooden basin.

Later, the task of fishing was given to Ruan Qingsong and Yun Xiu.

Meixi was processing the fresh fish nearby, while Cuizhu and other family members helped to light the fire. As the plump grilled fish were sizzling with oil, the aroma was so delicious that it made people dizzy.

Especially the children brought by Grandpa Xue, who stared at the fish eagerly.

Ruan Mian grilled the fish until both sides were crispy and then sprinkled spices, salt, etc. on it, and the flavor burst out all at once.

As the crispy fish on the outside and tender on the inside enters your mouth, the salty and fragrant taste immediately fills your mouth.

While grilling the fish, she also cooked a bowl of hot fish soup for the wounded in the team and her sister-in-law.

Among them is Mr. Xie.

Xie Huaian was also eating grilled fish of this flavor for the first time, and he couldn't help but tease: "If you hadn't been exiled, you would definitely be able to make a living by opening a gourmet restaurant in Kyoto."

Ruan Mian smiled and couldn't help saying, "Opening a restaurant doesn't necessarily have to be in Kyoto. As long as I want, anywhere can be my stage."

"Oh?" Ruan Mian thought he didn't believe it, so she thought about it and said tentatively.

"If, I mean if, Wu Heng mutinied and we couldn't go back, how about migrating to the deep mountains or some uninhabited place and claiming our place as king?"

Xie Huaian didn't expect that she had such great ambitions.

If it happened to someone else, he would just treat it as a joke, but when it came to her, Xie Huaian inexplicably wanted to ask more questions.

"With so few people and nothing, how can you occupy the land and become the king?"

Ruan Mian was about to speak when Xie Huaian's face suddenly darkened!

"Don't move! There seems to be someone behind you."

At this moment, Ruan Mian also felt that there seemed to be footsteps on the slope behind them.

The two looked at each other, and Ruan Mian quietly picked up the stone next to him and threw it down the hillside!

I saw the figure hiding in the bushes running away quickly!

Seeing this, Minister Dong followed without hesitation.

Ruan Mian was worried, and without waiting for Xie Huaian to speak, she quickly chased up.

The others didn't understand what he was saying, only Yun Xiu ran after him after receiving Xie Huaian's gaze.

If they were pursuers, Ruan Mian would not let them go.

I finally escaped from the war, how could I let that group of people bully me?

However, she had only run a few steps when she saw that Minister Dong had already caught the man.

The man was skinny and had dark eyes, but Ruan Mian saw the clothes he was wearing at a glance.

"Are you from the Jinsha tribe? Do you know Bai Lun?"

The last time I saw Bai Lun and the others, they were also wearing such animal skin clothing, and their earrings and other accessories were all made from deer antlers and deer teeth.

When the man heard her mention the name Bai Lun, his expression changed slightly.

His previously fierce gaze softened slightly, and he asked in half-fluent Kyoto dialect, "Do you know Lord Bai Lun?"

Ruan Mian took out a deer antler from her purse. It was a gift from Bai Lun as a thank you for saving the deer.

When the man saw the deer antlers, his face changed drastically, as if he had seen a sacred faith, and he immediately knelt down.

Soon he looked for help and spoke to Ruan Mian expectantly.

"You are... Madam Ruan, the female doctor who saved the sacred deer?" Ruan Mian didn't expect that his name had spread within their clan.

Just as he nodded, the man kowtowed again and again: "Madam Ruan! Please save our Lord Bai Lun!!"

Ruan Mian frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What happened to him?"

…

Half an hour later.

The man brought Ruan Mian and the others to a hidden cave.

There was a tattered tent there, and as soon as I entered the cave, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Ruan Mian had a bad feeling and was about to ask when she suddenly saw Bai Lun lying on an animal skin blanket.

At this moment, his little face was pale, even his lips were bloodless, and his small body had obviously become thinner.

There weren't many people in the cave, but they all looked wary of the fugitives like Ruan Mian.

It was not until the man explained it to them in his tribe's language that the people's expressions gradually relaxed.

A woman with swollen eyes came to Bai Lun with Ruan Mian.

Her voice was hoarse, and she placed her hands on her chest and saluted: "Madam Ruan, Bai Lun mentioned that you saved his fawn. You are a skilled doctor, can you help Bai Lun?"

Although the Jinsha tribe is just one ethnic group, they are also the indigenous people who have lived in Longchang Mountain for many years.

Why does it seem like something major has happened now?

She also didn't believe that there was no healer in the tribe.

So she looked at the woman and asked, "Did you encounter any misfortune?"

The woman suddenly burst into tears. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ruan Mian didn't ask any more questions. The most urgent thing was to go and check on Bai Lun's condition.

Fortunately, he only had a high fever and was in temporary shock.

Ruan Mian carried some cold medicine and a water bag filled with spiritual spring water in her purse.

First, he was fed with spiritual spring water and antipyretic medicine, and then covered tightly with a fur blanket.

After a while, he began to sweat.

At the same time, Ruan Mian also treated their other injured tribesmen.

In addition to a few trauma patients, there were several others with cold symptoms.

Moreover, Ruan Mian discovered that their diet was monotonous, consisting of only some roe deer meat, and even the fish were roasted directly on the fire, which was full of fishy smell.

How can I have the appetite to eat like this?

She simply asked Yun Xiu: "Ah Xiu, do you still remember the way back?"

After seeing him nod, Ruan Mian asked him to go back and get some "wild vegetables" and millet from Cuizhu. He said that the "wild vegetables" were dug on the road, but they were actually spinach grown in the space.

By the way, I also let the family know that I was safe and asked them to wait for me to return.

Then she made a bowl of fish soup for the Jinsha people. She simply fried the fish, mashed it, and boiled it with some spiritual spring water.

As for the roe deer meat, it is now more suitable to be eaten by stewing.

They only had simple animal oil and salt, and some people were even used to eating raw meat. Many people were trying the taste of spices for the first time.

"Doing this can reduce many diseases and help you recover faster."

Ruan Mian saw several women looking at her, so she taught them how to make fish soup and stew, and gave them all the spices in her purse.

She felt the gratitude in their eyes, and only then did the woman take the initiative to speak and tell Ruan Mian about the misfortune they had encountered.

"A few days ago, the tribe was poisoned by people from the small country of Lanqiang, and many strong men died."

"Two days ago, Wu Heng rebelled again, and the Lan Qiang soldiers stormed Longchang Mountain to exterminate us. That's why we hid everywhere, and the rest of our tribesmen split up to resist the enemy, so..."

I didn't expect it to be related to the mutiny.

Moreover, the enemy's direct entry into Longchang Mountain to find their entrenched place was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision. This conspiracy may have been formed a long time ago.

Even Minister Dong couldn't help it at this moment.

"The Lanqiang people have been planning this for a long time, waiting for this blizzard to trigger their plan to capture Wu Heng in one fell swoop."

The woman frowned and shook her head, saying, "To be able to find our tribe, there must be a spy within Wu Heng. Otherwise, how could the Lan Qiang people know where we are in such a short time?"
