Although she disliked snakes, a slimy creature, she was extremely envious of the things on a viper. Now that these two large snakes were right in front of her, there was no reason for her to refuse them.
The venom from the snake's sac can be used to make defensive items, while the snake gall can be kept for emergencies. As for the snake meat...
The entire Su family has a sweet tooth, so this is a good opportunity to bring some back for them to enjoy.
"Alright, I'll do whatever Hua'er says." Xiao Jinhan raised his hand and affectionately pinched the tip of her nose, then waved to the remaining subordinates, "After you destroy the snake's nest, carry this viper down the mountain. Remember to be gentle and don't break it."
Having said that, without another word, he picked up Su Hua and headed down the mountain.
The black-clad subordinates were left completely bewildered, their bright eyes filled with undisguised astonishment. This, this, this... was this person really still their cold and ruthless master?
If it weren't for that immortal-like face remaining unchanged, they would have seriously suspected that someone else was impersonating their master and swindling people.
With such a gentle and obedient demeanor, where is there even a trace of the coldness of the past?
The four members of the White Tiger family stared at each other for a long time.
Immediately, the tigress shoved the big white dog off her back and onto Da Niu's neck, then turned and walked to the pile of wild animals on the bluestone ground, picked up a plump sika deer, and placed it in front of Da Niu.
The young woman's amber eyes flickered slightly. She deftly picked up the sika deer and hurriedly headed towards Xiao Jinhan and the other person.
As the two men and two tigers walked out of Fuhu Mountain and approached the small hill, they could vaguely see Su Baishi standing on the hillside with her eldest son, second son, and Chunhua, craning their necks and looking towards the direction of Fuhu Mountain.
"Grandma, it's Aunt and Uncle Jinhan, they're back!"
The little boy had sharp eyes, and Erlang exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to Auntie? Why is she being held in Uncle Jinhan's arms? Could she have twisted her ankle? Dalang, let's go help Uncle Jinhan carry her."
Upon hearing the voices of the little ones, Su Hua jumped up from the man's arms.
But Da Lang and his two companions had grown up in the mountains and fields since childhood. In just a few breaths, they came down from the hillside and saw Su Hua landing from Xiao Jinhan's arms.
"Hey, Auntie, is your leg alright?" Erlang scratched his head, looking puzzled.
"When I saw Uncle Jinhan carrying Aunt Xiaoshan, I thought Aunt Xiaoshan was injured."
Chunhua smiled and covered her mouth, laughing out loud, "Second Brother is so silly! Uncle Jinhan carrying Aunt is just like Uncle carrying Aunt, or my father carrying my mother. It's not like you can only carry someone because of a foot injury. Take that time when we went to Qingshui County, for example, Uncle Jinhan carried her in the carriage..."
"Chunhua!" Su Hua blushed upon hearing this and quickly moved away from Xiao Jinhan. She then pulled the swaying girl next to her closer and subtly changed the subject.
"Didn't you keep saying you wanted to have barbecue? This is a sika deer that Da Niu's parents gave us. The deer meat is tender and smells amazing when barbecued. Also, your Uncle Jin Han caught two huge snakes. If we grill them, the aroma will be so enticing you'll want to swallow your tongue. In addition, we can also make a dragon and phoenix soup with a chicken. Be careful, you might swallow your tongue..."
Xiao Jinhan glanced helplessly at the girl, then gently rubbed his empty hand beside him. There was plenty of time; he wasn't in a hurry.
Chunhua is the most greedy of the three children.
Upon catching sight of the sika deer on the tiger's back, its obsidian-like eyes lit up instantly.
Thanks to Da Bai, she had seen wild cattle, wild boars, and wild sheep before, but this was the first time she had ever seen a sika deer with such glossy fur.
Upon hearing about novel dishes like roasted venison, roasted snake meat, and dragon and phoenix soup, tears welled up in her eyes, and she completely forgot what had happened on the carriage.
The two young men standing nearby weren't much better off, already scratching their heads and imagining how to make the roast meat and dragon and phoenix soup.
Su Bai walked a little slower, and when she arrived, she heard her grandchildren talking incessantly about food. Her slanted eyes narrowed instantly. "All you know how to do is eat all day long. You must have been reincarnated starving ghosts in your past lives! You see your aunt carrying a basket on her back and don't you even know to help carry it? Hua'er has been busy all day and is coming back. Why don't you hurry up and help her carry it back?"
"Mother, how could I be so delicate?" Su Hua was both amused and exasperated.
But Su Baishi simply waved her hand, took the basket off her back and handed it to Su Dalang, and then carefully looked her up and down before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Ever since her daughter went into the mountains that morning, her heart had been in a state of constant anxiety, until Xiao Jinhan returned to look for her daughter, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt half relieved.
Now that her daughter has returned safely, the old woman can finally rest easy and remember the purpose of her daughter's trip into the mountains.
"Hua'er, did you manage to pick that 'troublesome flower' you were supposed to find in the mountains today?"
"Yes, we've already picked them." Su Hua nodded with a smile.
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" Upon hearing this, Su Bai's wrinkled face broke into a smile. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. She knew her daughter's personality all too well. If she hadn't picked this little red flower, who knows when she would have run back to the mountains.
Hua'er had once told her that as long as the medicinal ingredient was found, and combined with a month of acupuncture, Xiao Jinhan's leg injury would be fully healed.
The woman's eyes flickered, and her gaze fell on the man standing quietly to the side.
From his appearance and character to his skills, it can be said that there is no one in the surrounding area of Qingshui County who can compare with him. His only shortcoming is his lame right leg. Now, his injured leg is about to heal, and in the future, there will probably be more and more people watching him.
Thinking of this, Su Baishi suddenly couldn't stand up straight.
Her silly daughter isn't in a hurry, but her mother has to think more about things, lest the person she's worked so hard to cure end up belonging to someone else.
"Jinhan, come here for a moment, your aunt has a few words to say to you."
Upon hearing this, Su Hua's ears perked up. "What is Mother trying to say? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"It's nothing important!" Madam Su waved her hand cryptically. "Didn't you want some roast meat and dragon and phoenix soup? Tell your sister-in-law when you get home and ask her to get them for you."
Without giving her a chance to refuse, he led Xiao Jinhan down the mountain to the riverbank.
Su Hua's lips twitched as she watched, but at the same time, three thunderous cooing sounds rang out beside her.
Looking down, he saw that Da Lang, Er Lang, and Chun Hua were all staring intently at him.
The same was true for the two tigers, one large and one small, standing nearby.
