After Shulan treated He Fengmian's wounds, she saw him leave.
When I saw him again, he was holding a food box.
Shulan, who had been grinding medicine powder, realized that it was almost dinner time and said she was feeling a little hungry.
Seeing her somewhat tired expression, He Fengmian asked her, "Why didn't you go to rest?"
Before he left, he told her to get some rest.
"I was thinking of grinding up those medicine powders and lost track of time." Besides, Old Qian was quite badly injured, and she was worried about him.
He Fengmian didn't say anything, but simply handed her a large wooden box: "Take a look."
Shulan took it, opened it, and her eyes lit up immediately: "Bear bile."
Bear bile is a very good medicinal material, and it is extremely difficult to obtain. Now that I have it, I am naturally very happy.
The baby took the bear bile and was thinking about how to process it, whether to soak it in alcohol or turn it into bear bile powder.
If you want to make bear bile powder, then you have to process it... Just as she was thinking about how to do it, He Fengmian took the box from her hand and said, "Eat first."
He carried a box in one hand and went inside.
Upon seeing him, Wei Ming immediately bowed and greeted him: "General."
He Fengmian said to him, "Go eat first."
"yes."
Wei Ming quickly left, not daring to disturb the couple.
At this moment, only Old Qian, who was lying there unconscious, was in the room.
Shulan removed the medicine from the table, and He Fengmian placed the food box on the table.
Shulan did not smell anything before opening the box.
But the moment the box was opened, a rich fragrance wafted out.
The aroma of the food was unlike anything I'd ever smelled before, so I curiously peered over.
When he saw the dish, his eyes widened: "Bear paw."
Actually, there were several dishes, and even a plate of "silk doll" (a type of shredded tofu).
But these dishes paled in comparison to the bear paw.
In someone's eyes, there were only two bear paws.
He Fengmian nodded: "The braised bear paw made by Aunt Chen must taste extremely good. You should try it."
He only brought two over; this stuff gets cloying if you eat too much of it.
The other two can be left for Uncle Rong and the others to try.
Although Shulan had often heard of bear paws, she had never eaten them.
Looking at those plump bear paws, their bright red color and tempting sheen made them look delicious.
He Fengmian looked at him and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He picked up a bear paw with his chopsticks and placed it in her bowl: "Try it."
"Okay." Looking at the other bear paw, he said, "You eat some too."
Even just one bear paw is enormous.
You can easily imagine how big that bear was.
She took a bite and felt that the bear paw meat was soft and tender, with a rich, juicy flavor. It was so delicious that she closed her eyes in bliss.
He said, "It's quite delicious."
Seeing that she liked it, He Fengming said, "If you like it, I'll go and get it for the headhunter again tomorrow."
Shulan quickly waved her hand: "No need, one taste is enough, there's no need to eat it often."
Things become more valuable when they are rare; they lose their flavor if eaten too often.
Hearing her say that, He Fengmian didn't say anything more.
The two ate their meal. Shulan was completely satisfied with the bear paw, and the last dish of silk dolls helped to cut through the greasiness, making it a perfect meal.
When she finished eating, she happily patted her belly and said, "Satisfied."
Looking at her like this, He Fengmian wanted to laugh and said, "Would you like to go for a walk to digest your food?"
Shulan shook her head: "That won't do. I have to process the bear bile properly, otherwise it will spoil and be a waste."
He Fengmian didn't press the matter and said, "Okay, do you need my help?"
"Sure."
The two began processing bear bile, and it gradually grew late.
When it was completely dark, the bear bile was finally prepared, and candles were lit in the room.
Shulan felt aches and pains in her back and waist, and was unusually tired.
He Fengmian said, "Go and get some rest early today. Leave things here to Wei Ming and the others."
Wei Ming and the others quickly said, "Madam, please go and rest. We can take care of things here."
Shulan didn't press the matter further, simply saying, "Alright, then please be careful. If you develop a high fever tonight, be sure to let me know."
His injuries are too severe. If he develops a high fever, we can't let him keep burning up; we have to use strong medicine.
"Yes, madam."
Shulan gave some more instructions before leaving with He Fengmian.
After taking a simple bath, He Fengmian came in to fetch her water, only to find her already lying on the bed, drowsy.
He Fengmian said, "Dry your hair before you go to sleep."
Shulan mumbled, "It's okay, it's hot, it'll dry in a bit."
Because her hair was still quite wet, she placed it on the edge of the bed to prevent it from wetting the bed.
The weather is so hot that hair dries very easily.
Judging from her appearance, He Fengmian realized that she was indeed very sleepy.
There was nothing she could do; she usually takes a nap during lunch break, but she hasn't had a rest today and has been busy the whole time.
When I'm busy, it's okay, but when I have free time, I really feel sleepy.
Seeing her like this, He Fengmian was afraid that she would catch a cold.
He said to her, "Then let me dry your hair for you."
Shulan didn't hear clearly at all, and just grunted in response.
So when He Fengmian came in again, he squatted down by the bed with a towel and gently dried her hair.
She felt extremely comfortable and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
He Fengmian, who was squatting there, was being so cautious for the first time.
It was like testing a fragile item, with a concern for not hurting her.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he stopped only after her hair was completely dry.
Seeing her sleeping like this, I was worried she would roll off the bed, so I carefully picked her up.
After settling her down, I covered her with a thin blanket, lowered the mosquito net, and made sure there were no mosquitoes inside before leaving, tucking the mosquito net in, and going out.
The second-year junior high student was silently munching on sunflower seeds when he saw his master leave. He couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
Even after all this, they still don't sleep together, tsk tsk tsk.
After his master left, he took out a luminous pearl for lighting, and then took out a brush. After wetting his tongue with some saliva, he began to quickly write small notes.
After recording the day's events in detail, he saw a plump pigeon flutter down to his side.
After placing the note into the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg, I gently patted the pigeon's head, as if to say: Go, little pigeon!
The plump carrier pigeons flapped their wings and flew into the night.
Then they started happily and silently eating sunflower seeds again.
Looking at the night sky, I think to myself: What a beautiful night.
On this beautiful night, just as the hour of Chou (1-3 AM) arrived, a soldier hurriedly ran towards them.
Before they even got there, a second-year junior high student stopped them: "What are you doing?"
The soldier said anxiously, "Looking for Madam, Old Qian... he..."
