"Miss."
Shulan's feat of eating tree leaves even startled Xiao Cui.
He Fengmian frowned in confusion and asked, "What... are you doing?"
This is practically a reckless way of eating.
Shulan chewed on the mulberry leaf-wrapped meat. She had chosen very tender mulberry leaves, which tasted quite good and delicious, just like the ones she had eaten when she was a child.
Yes, when they eat barbecue, they not only wrap the meat in lettuce, but also sometimes in April or May, they wrap the meat in the leaves of the mulberry tree they grow at home.
It would be even more delicious if I could add some of my grandma's pickled cucumbers.
Upon hearing He Fengmian's question, he replied, "Eat meat."
Liu Moyang, who was standing nearby, asked with a smile, "We're just curious, why does Madam wrap meat in leaves to eat?"
Shulan then realized that they didn't know mulberry leaves could be eaten raw.
Explanation: "Mulberry leaves taste quite good when they are young, especially when wrapped around meat, which gives them a unique flavor."
Seeing that they didn't believe her, she picked up another leaf, wrapped it around the meat, and ate it: "Fresh mulberry leaves not only have the effects of dispelling wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moisturizing dryness, calming liver yang, and clearing the liver and improving eyesight, but they can also relieve greasiness. You can try it if you don't believe me."
Unfortunately, she didn't have many leaves, so she didn't insist that everyone take one.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Liu Moyang picked up a piece of meat, wrapped it around his tongue, and put it in his mouth.
The others stared at him expectantly, as if they wanted him to be the one to test the poison.
As Liu Moyang chewed, he shared his thoughts: "Not bad, it's definitely not that greasy."
Shulan smiled and said, "If you want to try it, you can pick mulberry leaves, but you should eat them in moderation. After all, this is a medicine for relieving exterior symptoms."
After hearing this, some people were eager to try it with mulberry leaves, while others still dared not.
Shulan picked up a mulberry leaf, wrapped the meat in it, and handed it to the big bearded man with a cool look.
He said expectantly, "Try it."
He Fengmian didn't want to, but seeing her expectant gaze, he had no choice but to accept it.
Shulan watched him put the food in his mouth and asked expectantly, "How is it?"
He Fengmian observed, "It's alright."
But I don't want to eat it a second time.
Shulan saw that he didn't like it too much, so she didn't force him.
Seeing that Xiao Cui liked to eat, the two of them happily ate the roasted meat.
Although there are few seasonings available now, the people here are probably used to grilled meat, and their cooking skills are excellent. In addition, the meat that was just slaughtered is very tender and has a woody aroma, which is something she rarely tasted before.
After enjoying the meal, I felt completely satisfied, both physically and mentally.
After resting for a while, they went into the mountains again.
This time, Xiao Cui didn't come along; she helped the young lady tidy up the tent for the night.
Shi Mo held He Xiaobao in her arms, intending to go along with them.
Shulan didn't want to, thinking the child was too young and might get bitten by some poisonous insect.
He Fengmian said calmly, "The sons of the He family are not so delicate."
Shulan looked at the chubby boy who looked like a glutinous rice ball, and thought that more than ten years later, he would also go to the battlefield like his father and uncle. Her feelings were complicated.
She whispered very softly, "But it's too small."
He Fengmian glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Liu Moyang smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Don't worry, Madam. Xiao Bao used to come with us into the mountains often. With the General here, nothing will happen to Xiao Bao."
Shulan thought about it and agreed.
With her uncle here, what is she worried about?
The group walked into the mountains.
Insects chirped and birds sang, and every now and then a bird would flutter its wings and take flight.
Watching them identify where animals are and what kind of animals they are based on footprints or even the marks left by nibbling leaves and grass, I felt that practice makes perfect.
Because Shulan needs to gather medicinal herbs, she can't hold the chubby baby.
He Xiaobao finally remembered his uncle and asked him to hold him.
He Fengmian handed the bow and arrows to the others and hugged his nephew.
He Xiaobao immediately pointed to Shulan, who was already heading over there to pick cockleburs.
He stared longingly at his uncle, pouting as he pointed in that direction: "Mom~~~"
Clearly, they cannot be separated from Shulan for even a moment.
He Fengmian was about to frown and scold him for being spoiled, but when he saw his nephew's tender little face, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while before obediently heading towards Shulan.
Shulan picked cockleburs while scanning her surroundings for other herbs.
He was also thinking that although there were many herbs here, they couldn't be supplied in large quantities for a long time.
The best solution would be to cultivate large areas of medicinal herbs, grow them ourselves, and ensure a stable supply.
Just as she was working on these questions, her mind racing, she suddenly heard someone say, "Be careful."
"Huh?" I turned my head instinctively.
Then they saw the bearded man holding the chubby girl in one arm, and with the other hand, he precisely caught the spear that had been shot from a distance, and then swung the spearhead directly at her head.
Shulan felt a gust of wind above her head, and then a spear clashed with something, followed by a muffled thud.
Then I saw a green thing fly out from above my head and land about ten steps away.
It was a long, emerald-green snake that had been cut in two, and you could tell at a glance that it was highly venomous.
At this moment, the long snake, severed at its seventh inch, lay there peacefully.
On the other side was He Fengmian, who skillfully held the chubby boy in one arm and held a long spear in the other, exuding a cold and murderous aura.
Shulan said thank you.
He Fengmian said calmly, "In the mountains and forests, it is most taboo to become too engrossed."
Shulan quickly nodded: "I was just thinking too much, thank you."
If he had been bitten by that snake, he would have suffered terribly, even if he didn't die. Luckily, the bearded man saved him.
He Fengmian: "No need."
Since she came out with him, he would definitely not let her get hurt.
