Chapter 400: The Demon Concubine Who Brings Trouble to the Nation vs. the Bandit Emperor of the Founding of the Country 11
Ji Da carried Ji Liao all the way, his ankles were covered in blood. Ji Yunhuan took out a bottle of medicine from the backpack and handed it to Ruyi.
"Here's the bottle for you. Remember to apply more medicine to Uncle Ji. Wash it with water first and then apply the medicine. Go ahead."
Ji Da was sitting on a rock nearby eating a bun. He suddenly bit into a large piece of meat and thought that the young lady must have given him the best bun. He was touched.
Seeing Ruyi coming to give him medicine, he refused repeatedly, "No, no! My skin is thick and rough, there is no need to apply medicine. After two days, calluses will form and I won't bleed. General... The master is so badly injured, leave it all to the master."
Ji Yunhuan was searching in the space, trying to get some meat to nourish her family. She tore off half a roast chicken, wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to Ji Da.
"Uncle Ji, eat quickly and quietly. Don't let outsiders see you. Meat is a rare commodity and the officials don't have much."
"We are old, young, weak, and disabled, but you are the only strong laborer. If you get sick from overwork, we won't be able to live. Even if not for yourself, you have to take care of yourself for the sake of all of us. Things are not as important as people."
Ji Da was persuaded by the young lady and stopped stopping Ruyi from applying medicine to him. He took the roast chicken, turned around to avoid the large group in front, and started to eat it.
Thinking of what happened last night, Ji Da felt a little guilty and said vaguely: "From now on, I will stay with the master all the time. I will protect the master with my life."
The disabled Ji Yuan had already been given medicine and looked deeply at his daughter.
He felt that his daughter had a secret. His wife didn't know whether the medicine was good or bad, but he got injured more often than eating or drinking, so he could tell what was in it just by smelling it.
Ordinary people could not afford such a good medicine for wounds. It smelled like medicine from the palace. However, the emperor also rewarded his ministers with a lot of it. The general's mansion also had this kind of medicine.
In any case, such remedies could not be bought from the officials. Even if all the carts of supplies were sold, they could not be exchanged for a bottle of medicine like this.
Ji Yunhuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and like a magic trick, he took out a bowl of steaming meat porridge from his backpack, handed it to his father, and said nonsense:
"Father was almost killed yesterday, and the official felt bad. This is a special meal for Lord Guo, and I specially gave father a bowl. Father, drink it quickly, and stay away from outsiders, so that no one will know."
Ji Liao didn't believe a word of it. If Guo Yi could treat him well, the sun would be rising in the west!
"I see. Why don't we share it so that everyone can have a drink?"
Ji Yunhuan took out half a roast chicken from the backpack. The roast chicken was almost cold, but he could still smell its distinct fragrance from a close distance.
"Don't worry, father. The meat porridge is specially for you. This is for everyone!"
Ji Yunhuan distributed half of the roast chicken. Although everyone had eaten steamed buns to satisfy their hunger and drank the spiritual spring water to quench their thirst and fatigue, they were very happy to see the meat. Without asking any more questions, they ate up the roast chicken with their backs to the main group.
Even the chicken bones were chewed cleanly, leaving no residue.
Lan Song licked the corner of his mouth and sighed: "The bones are cooked till soft and crispy, this is the essence, so delicious!"
Lan Song only wanted to eat the chicken skeleton. Ji Yunhuan wanted to say that there was no need to be so frugal, but he couldn't say it and could only let them do as they pleased.
It's better to eat it all, so that there won't be anything left and discovered, which would make it difficult to explain.
Ji Liao finished a bowl of meat porridge, ate two steamed buns, and a few pieces of chicken that Fang Huijia had torn off. He was so full that he burped.
This meat porridge is exactly the same as the imperial meal in the palace, and many expensive ingredients are added to it. It is definitely not something that the officials can afford.
Ji Liao stared at Huan'er's backpack for a while. What secrets were hidden in this backpack? How could there be so many things in it?
Ji Yunhuan felt a little scared when his father stared at him, so he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Dad is not feeling well. He must be tired after being awake for half a day. Just rest on Uncle Ji's back later."
Ji Liao looked away, he understood his daughter's hint.
He was indeed in good health and his injuries healed faster than those of ordinary people, but this time he recovered too quickly. In just one day and one night, the wounds were basically healed.
It’s just that the bones in his legs haven’t grown fully yet, otherwise he feels he could barely walk.
He didn't dare to say anything. He pretended to be listless all the way and didn't talk much, but he was always observing the situation around him. It seemed that he would have to faint in the afternoon to show that he was a seriously injured cripple.
Ji Liao hummed and said nothing more, and Ji Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The Lan family's grandfather and grandson are the easiest to fool. Ji Da and Ruyi won't think too much about it. Their mother is devoted to their father and has no time to think about these details. Only their father must have become suspicious.
"Grandpa, Sister Ji, Sister Ruyi, Uncle Ji, Uncle Ji, Aunt Fang~"
Lanhua came over, skipping and jumping, carrying a small backpack on her back, and called everyone one by one.
Fang Huijia liked the well-behaved little Lanhua very much. She immediately helped Lanhua take off the small backpack and put it aside. She touched Lanhua's face and said with a smile, "You ran so far that I couldn't call you back. Look at you, you are sweating all over. You must be tired. Come here and have something to eat."
Ji Yunhuan left a chicken leg for Lanhua, but she had already eaten it secretly and was very full. Everyone pushed and shoved the chicken leg to her, but she didn't touch it.
Lanhua held a chicken leg in one hand and a bun in the other, and ate quickly under the cover of everyone.
"Orchids don't get tired at all! Orchids run fast, can work, and can pick a lot of herbs. Grandpa, take a look, is Orchid picking the right herbs?"
Orchid has a rosy complexion, and although she still doesn't have much flesh, she looks full of energy.
Ji Yunhuan gave Lanhua a bowl of water. Lanhua drank it up and immediately felt refreshed.
The child is growing up, and drinking Lingquan water will have better effects. Lingquan water can subtly improve the physical condition, and Lanhua's health is getting better and better.
Lanhua opened the backpack as if she was presenting treasures and reached out to grab the herbs inside. Suddenly, a poisonous insect came out, scaring Lanhua.
The backpack fell to the ground, and more and more poisonous insects crawled out of it, colorful and scattering in all directions.
These poisonous insects seemed to be particularly sensitive to blood and flesh, and they headed towards Ji Liao following the smell.
Next to Lanhua was Fang Huijia, who was right next to Ji Liao, so the poisonous insects first affected Fang Huijia.
Ji Liao didn't care about the injury on his leg, he jumped up and rushed to Fang Huijia. He had no weapon, so he could only pick up a stone and kill the poisonous insect with one stone.
The finger-long red poisonous insects crawled onto Fang Huijia's knees. Fang Huijia was most afraid of these things. She was so scared that she instinctively closed her eyes and lay on her husband, trembling.
Ji Liao didn't care whether he would be poisoned if he pinched the poisonous insect with his bare hands. As soon as he stretched out his hand, his palm suddenly felt empty and the poisonous insect disappeared out of thin air.
