Zuo Miaomiao glared at him: "Have you forgotten what the doctor told you? You have liver problems and you still want to drink alcohol? Don't you want to live a long life?!"
The Left Censor looked embarrassed: "Father was just asking about the wine, he didn't say he wanted to drink it."
As she spoke, she gave Fu Weiyun a look.
Fu Weiyun understood immediately and said with a smile, "I'm drinking this wine myself. I brought some herbal tea with me. You can have the herbal tea. My sister made it. It can help with autumn dryness."
Zuo Miaomiao remembered Dr. Qi's diagnosis. She hadn't made her father drink that prescription, but Sister Xiao's herbal tea was definitely better than that prescription, so she figured her father could have a couple of sips.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Fu Weiyun invited them to sit on the rattan mats, while he set up the grill, lit the charcoal, and placed the pieces of tofu with a crisp coating on it one by one when it got hot.
In addition, I took out fermented bean curd sauce, chili powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder, salt and other seasonings and spices.
Each person was given a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
He turned the tofu while grilling it, and once it had puffed up, he said to Zuo Miaomiao and the other person, "It's ready, you can eat it now."
After saying that, he prepared a bowl of dipping sauce, picked up a piece of tofu, put it in the bowl, and ate it while dipping it in the sauce.
Zuo Miaomiao had long been unable to resist the aroma of the roasted tofu. After Fu Weiyun started eating, she followed suit and eagerly put a piece of tofu into her mouth.
One bite and the caramelized aroma bursts on your tongue, while the inside is as tender as tofu pudding—both chewy, smooth, and fragrant.
Zuo Miaomiao squinted her eyes happily.
"It's so delicious! Sister Xiao is amazing, she always comes up with delicious ideas."
Fu Weiyun wholeheartedly agreed: "My sister is very good at cooking."
Zuo Miaomiao added a lot of chili powder to her dipping sauce bowl, and after eating only a few pieces, she was so spicy that she had to drink a lot of herbal tea.
I thought herbal tea would be bitter, but it tasted surprisingly good, with a hint of sweetness.
The burning sensation in my mouth was soothed by the spicy tea, and it felt incredibly refreshing.
She drank bowl after bowl, unable to stop.
Fu Weiyun had to remind everyone: "Don't drink too much herbal tea."
Zuo Miaomiao nodded as she drank, "I understand."
She doesn't drink every day, just occasionally. Drinking a couple more cups shouldn't be a problem.
So most of the pot of herbal tea ended up in her stomach.
At first, nothing was wrong, but when her stomach started to ache slightly, she realized something was wrong.
Oh no, I really need to pee...
She quickly calculated that it would take at least an hour to get home from here down the mountain, and she definitely couldn't wait that long.
But there didn't seem to be any houses on the way up the mountain. Where was she supposed to put the toilet?
Should we find a place with dense grass?
But this place is full of people, what if someone accidentally sees me...
She was in a state of panic, but the more she tried to hold it in, the more her stomach ached, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Just then, Fu Weiyun noticed and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Zuo?"
Upon hearing this, the Left Censor, who was secretly trying to pour himself a drink, turned around and looked on with a questioning expression.
"I...I..."
Zuo Miaomiao almost burst into tears.
How is she supposed to explain this?!
But if she didn't say anything, she would make an even bigger fool of herself. Thinking of this, she steeled herself, closed her eyes, and said, "I need to relieve myself."
Left Censor: "..."
Oh dear, this silly girl. I told her not to drink so much herbal tea, but she wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened.
He looked around and began to get a headache.
I've been to Xishan so many times, but I don't think I've ever seen a restroom here. What should I do?
He also began to feel overwhelmed.
The next moment, Fu Weiyun said, "There's a small wooden hut not far ahead, for hunters to rest. You can borrow it for a bit."
Zuo Miaomiao looked up in shock, as if she had heard heavenly music: "Really?"
Fu Weiyun nodded: "I just saw it from the tree."
"Very good!"
The Left Censor was overjoyed.
Which way to go?
Fu Weiyun pointed to the northeast.
Zuo Miaomiao immediately called her servants to take Huzi and run over.
She ran less than a hundred meters and sure enough, she saw a small wooden house. She was so happy she almost fainted.
The cabin wasn't locked, and it was very clean inside, without any cobwebs or anything like that.
After the servant placed the chamber pot in place, closed the door, and left, Zuo Miaomiao let out a long sigh of relief.
I escaped a disaster at least.
A short while later, after relieving herself, she had just finished tidying her clothes and was about to cover them with ashes when she suddenly caught a glimpse of black water flowing down from the corner of the wall.
"This house leaks a bit when it rains."
She couldn't help but mutter to herself.
They immediately froze.
It's a sunny day outside!
It didn't rain at all, so how can this house leak?!
She looked closely and realized that what she saw was not water, but a long, black snake.
After the snake slid down the wall, it straightened its upper body, raised its large triangular head, and stuck out its tongue at her.
Zuo Miaomiao: "..."
"Aa ...
She screamed uncontrollably.
"Help!"
Upon hearing this, the servant was about to push the door open when the snake, startled, slid to Miaomiao's feet on the left.
"Don't come in!"
Zuo Miaomiao wanted to cry but had no tears.
“It’s about to climb on me, go and call my dad.”
The servant obeyed and left.
After jogging a few steps, Fu Weiyun caught up with him.
"What happened?"
The servant explained the matter in a few words.
Fu Weiyun stood outside, inquired about the situation inside, and spoke through the door:
"Don't worry, I have some medicine from my sister, just a little bit will do the trick."
With that, he leaped onto the roof, lifted a tile, and quickly sprinkled a handful of snake medicine inside.
