Chapter 144 The Butt Was Bitten by a Bug

"I said, Ache..." Su Zhizhi said it again in a low voice.

But the noise from the surrounding soldiers drowned out Su Zhizhi's voice.

Doctor Yu gestured to Su Zhizhi to go eat first as he was still busy.

At this time, Hao Ren also walked over to pull Su Zhizhi back: "Zhizhi, it's time to eat. Where's A Che?"

Su Zhizhi was pulled back by Hao Ren. Seeing that the surroundings were too noisy, she had no choice but to repeat loudly for the third time:

"I said—Ah Che's butt was bitten by a bug—!"

The noisy sound stopped for a moment.

There was a moment of silence around.

Su Zhizhi's voice this time was very loud, she shouted it out, and the whole team heard it.

The sound was carried back and forth by the wind in the nearby valley.

"Ah, che, che, che... de, de, de, de... pee, pee, pee..."

“… ku ku ku… be be be be…”

“…bite it…”

After a moment of silence, laughter broke out all around.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Su Zhizhi rarely felt a little guilty towards Xue Che.

Even an eight-year-old child knows to be decent and that some things should not be told to outsiders.

But she really didn't expect it to be so quiet just now...

Doctor Yu and Hao Ren frowned when they heard this.

Doctor Yu: "How did you get bitten?"

Hao Ren: "Take us to see it."

The place where Su Zhizhi and Xue Che applied natural fertilizer to the forest was indeed not far away.

Therefore, Su Zhizhi's last shout and the soldiers' laughter were heard in the woods.

In the forest, Xue Che, who was sitting against a big tree stump, heard it all.

He desperately clutched a handful of grass in his hand, his face red as if it was about to bleed.

Everyone has to die, some people’s death is heavier than Mount Tai, while others’ death is lighter than a feather.

Or... be laughed to death.

He, Xue Che, Xue Yuzhi, is going to be laughed to death today.

Also, he was not bitten on the butt, but on the thigh!

As soon as they got off the carriage, he and Su Zhizhi went out as usual and found a secluded corner.

After Xue Che finished his work, he straightened his clothes, stood up and walked a few steps. Suddenly, his thigh felt numb and he was too heavy to move.

After taking a few more steps, I couldn't even walk anymore.

He pinched his thigh and saw a bug crawling out of his trouser leg.

"Ache, what's wrong with you?" Su Zhizhi, who had just finished relieving herself, happened to see Xue Che slowly sliding down the tree stump.

Xue Che tried his best to appear calm, not wanting to scare Su Zhizhi:

"Zhizhi, I seem to have been bitten by a poisonous insect. Can you help me find Doctor Yu?"

Su Zhizhi heard that Xue Che was bitten and quickly walked over to check:

"Where were you bitten? Let me see."

Xue Che covered his thigh to prevent Su Zhizhi from moving.

The poisonous insect probably bit the inside of my thigh, and I could only see it after I took off my pants.

Xue Che whispered awkwardly, "It's in the pubic area, it's inconvenient for you to see, so let Doctor Yu come."

Su Zhizhi didn't hear clearly and thought Xue Che was talking about the butt, so she hurriedly ran to find someone.

So what just happened happened.

Doctor Yu, Hao Ren, Wei Dashuan and Qin Xiao all came with Su Zhizhi.

They carried Xue Che onto the carriage and examined him.

After a while, Doctor Yu came out with a normal look on his face:

"Nothing, just a meridian bug bite. It's not harmful to the body, but my legs will be numb for ten to twelve hours."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, luckily it wasn't serious.

But Xue Che, lying in the carriage, felt that the situation was very serious.

It was so serious that he didn't want to go out and see people these days.

The thick soup on the stove is already bubbling, and the aroma is wafting in the air, making your mouth water.

It was already dark and everyone was sitting by the fire eating dinner.

Su Zhizhi held a hot bowl in her hand, which contained pork bone soup and noodles, as well as boiled meat jerky, fried pork skin and fresh and fragrant mushrooms.

“It smells so good.”

Su Zhizhi took a mouthful of noodles and drank a sip of soup, and her whole body felt warm.

She looked up at the starry sky.

Although I was traveling far away, the soup I drank was still the same as the soup from the village, and the stars in the sky were very similar to the ones I saw in Black Bandit Mountain.

When you go to faraway places, many things are different, but many things are actually the same.

Su Zhizhi put down the bowl: "Traveling far away is hard, but it's also very interesting. Next time I go on a long trip, I want to take my mother with me."

Qiu Jinyu smiled and said, "Next time you go on a long trip, I'll come with you."

Ni Tianji drank his soup and said, "I'll go too."

Qin Xiao, Wei Dashuan, Hua Erniang and Song Yu also said they wanted to go together.

Su Zhizhi rubbed his head and thought seriously: "Next time we go on a long trip, we'll have a lot of people. We need to bring a big pot and lots of bowls. We can even catch fish on the way..."

Everyone ate with a sigh on their face.

They had all traveled around the world or fought in battles before, and had the experience of long journeys and sleeping in the open air.

Even Song Yu had experienced fleeing alone. He fled from Chang'an to the deep mountains and forests of Lingnan and almost starved to death.

At that time, they were hurrying along the road, gnawing on two pieces of dry, hard bread and swallowing them down with some cold water from the lake.

Occasionally I would catch some wild game, but I didn’t have the energy to clean and cook it carefully, so I would just peel it, roast it, and eat it.

Although the food we eat now is not as oily and delicious as the food in the village, it is much better than before.

Because the soup cooked by Su Zhizhi was so fragrant, some soldiers who were nearby smelled it and kept swallowing their saliva.

Someone came over with a cake and asked:

"Can I dip my bread into your soup?"

After Qiu Jinyu served Xue Che's portion of dinner, there was still some soup and scraps left in the pot:

"Okay, bring your pots."

Qiu Jinyu poured the remaining soup in the pot into the pot handed to her by the soldier.

As soon as the soldier returned to his group with the pot and sat down, they rushed to grab the bread and dip it in the soup.

It was finished in a short while.

At this time, they were glad that they were at the end of the line, and the quality of the food had improved.

Su Zhizhi took the bowl and went into the carriage to deliver food to Xue Che who was half lying on the couch.

"Ache, it's time to eat." Su Zhizhi handed over the bowl.

Xue Che, whose lower body could not move, leaned against the wall of the carriage and could only twist his upper body, a bit like the legendary half-fish, half-human mermaid.

The little mermaid took the bowl without saying a word and lowered her head to eat the noodles.

Obviously there is still some emotion.

Su Zhizhi sat next to Xue Che and rolled her eyes:

"Ache, when your legs are healed the day after tomorrow, let's learn to ride a horse."

"Horse riding?" Xue Che was indeed interested.

This time the horses were bought specifically for the trip, while the horses on the mountain were previously mainly used to pull carts and goods.

Su Zhizhi had little chance to experience the galloping of a horse.

Xue Che was in poor health before and couldn’t study, but now he is well enough to study.

Su Zhizhi: "Grandpa Wei and Grandpa Leopard said some time ago that they could teach us horseback riding. Now we can ride horses every day, isn't that perfect?"

Xue Che hesitated: "But we are on the road every day now. Will learning horse riding delay our journey?"

Su Zhizhi didn't think that was a problem: "I can just learn on the way there."
