Chapter 384 Rabbits that eat ginseng taste better
He suddenly laughed and said to Xiao Su Bao, "Little Aunt, it's almost July, and this stone is hotter than an iron pot. Are you... going to eat roasted butt meat?"
Little Su Bao was taken aback, then looked at the stone that was almost smoking from the sun.
The little dumpling panicked instantly, and with a burst of strength, lifted Yang Nuannuan up...
"Ah...yes...I'm sorry, Su Bao didn't mean it, Su Bao didn't want to eat roasted pork butt!" the little dumpling explained anxiously.
Yang Nuannuan's lips twitched, a little helpless.
This action looks rather awkward no matter how you look at it, and...
Just as she was about to speak, she was enveloped by a shadow.
Tang Bugui returned at some point, and seeing this scene, he reached out and picked up Yang Nuannuan.
Then, it was placed on the stone again...
Yang Nuannuan's body stiffened slightly, and her expression changed accordingly.
"Are you alright?" he asked, frowning as he looked at Yang Nuannuan.
Yang Nuannuan was taken aback, then quickly shook her head, her face showing a hint of panic.
Little Su Bao quickly said, "Daddy, that stone is hot!"
Tang Bugui frowned, about to pick up Yang Nuannuan.
Unexpectedly, Yang Nuannuan had already jumped down.
She took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from Tang Bugui.
Then she said, "I'm fine, I'll go wash the cherries!" After saying that, Yang Nuannuan picked up the half-basket of cherries and turned to leave.
Little Su Bao called out to her instinctively, but she ran even faster.
Tang Bugui merely frowned and glanced at Yang Nuannuan before turning his gaze to his daughter.
"How are you? Are you injured?" Tang Bugui asked.
"She's not hurt. Sister Nuan was carrying Su Bao when she fell. I don't know if she's hurt..." the little dumpling said softly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
After a pause, Xiao Su Bao looked at Yang Nuan Nuan's disheveled figure, and that inexplicable feeling of familiarity became even stronger.
"Then let's wait for her to come back!" Tang Bugui squatted down in front of his daughter and rubbed her little head.
Fu Manduo and Tang Xin, along with a few other girls, were walking over.
They happened to see Xiao Su Bao lift Yang Nuan Nuan up, and everyone smiled knowingly.
The girls, who had been somewhat uncomfortable because of the bloody scenes earlier, were much more relaxed.
Especially Su Daya, who was not very brave. She was so frightened that she turned pale. When the man in black rushed in front of her, he almost killed her.
Fortunately, Ling Buqi delivered a fatal blow to the assassin's heart.
Su Daya's face was covered in blood. The usually honest and docile girl had almost smashed the assassin's head with a stick.
Even though the people around her stopped her in time, the assassin was beaten beyond recognition and died without peace.
Tang Xin just took her to clean the bloodstains off her body.
The little girl, who had initially looked unwell, seemed to feel a sense of light shining through her heart upon seeing Xiao Su Bao's actions.
"Huh?" Little Su Bao turned around and saw them.
She had just seen a wisp of black energy lingering between Daya's eyebrows, but just now, that black energy had dissipated.
Little Su Bao found it all incredibly amazing.
Just as she was wondering, she saw that Su Daya was carrying something in her hand.
"Little Su Bao, I just caught this thing. Do you like it?" Su Daya's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were filled with shyness.
Xiao Su Bao then noticed the small basket in her hand, which contained a large turtle.
"I caught this while washing my face, here it is for you!" Su Daya had been wanting to thank Xiao Su Bao for teaching her how to make a cricket, but she didn't have anything good to offer.
Catching this giant turtle today is a small token of my appreciation!
Xiao Su Bao was pleasantly surprised, but the little girl didn't refuse and simply asked Su Daya to cook it for them.
After finishing the meal, Wang Mingtian said, "Su Bao, come here..."
Little Su Bao obediently walked up to her master.
Wang Mingtian reached out and rubbed Xiao Su Bao's head before saying, "Okay, let's go for a walk with Master!"
"Okay!" The little dumpling obediently followed Wang Mingtian.
"This herb is called dandelion. It has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dissipating nodules. It can also remove blemishes, whiten skin, and clear the skin. It is one of the most common medicinal herbs."
Xiao Su Bao nodded. She and her senior brother Song had already learned some of these things before. When she heard her master talking, she didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
"This is goji berry..." Wang Mingtian explained the medicinal effects and applications of the herbs to the little girl.
Little Su Bao was serious. Suddenly, she saw a big tree: "Master, look!"
Wang Mingtian stood up and was slightly taken aback when he saw this thing.
"This is an octagonal tree, and this is a Sichuan pepper tree... Hmm..." Wang Mingtian was quite surprised to find that there were several kinds of spice trees in this small valley.
"Master, we used some spices to braise meat before, and it tasted really good. We used this in some of the dishes!" Little Su Bao said proudly.
Looking at the little dumpling's happy expression, Wang Mingtian smiled and said, "So that's why the braised meat had a medicinal smell!"
When Wang Mingtian thought of the braised pork made by the Tang family, his eyes lit up slightly. After all, pork has a strong, unpleasant smell, and most people don't like to eat it.
But pork with this spice not only lost its gamey smell, it became quite delicious.
Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a white shadow out of the corner of his eye.
It's a little bell. What's in this little guy's mouth?
Wang Mingtian's lips twitched instantly!
"Huh? A big radish?" Little Su Bao said subconsciously.
Reaching out, he pulled the 'big radish' out of the little bell's mouth.
Wang Mingtian was completely devastated!
This is really going too far.
"Su Bao, your teacher wants to eat roasted rabbit meat today!" he said to little Su Bao with a wistful look.
Xiao Su Bao was taken aback, and the little bell that was bouncing on the ground instantly bowed down and looked at Wang Mingtian with a wary expression.
“Rabbits that eat ginseng taste even better!” Wang Mingtian paused, his voice cool.
Little Bell darted away in a flash, without looking back, leaving only the afterimage of the rabbit in sight.
Little Su Bao blinked, looking at her master and then at Little Bell.
“Su Bao, come and say ‘ginseng’ with your master,” Wang Mingtian said, pointing to the ginseng that looked like a big radish.
Little Su Bao paused, looked at his master, and then at the ginseng.
"Ginseng...radish!"
She had seen ginseng before, but it was always tiny; she had never seen one this big!
Lin Qiqi walked over at some point and was slightly taken aback when she saw the ginseng in Xiao Su Bao's hand.
“This ginseng must be at least eight hundred years old, if not a thousand years old!” Lin Qiqi couldn’t help but say.
"It should be 1,200 years. Look, the root of this ginseng is almost solidified. If this ginseng is given more time, it might really become a spirit!" Wang Mingtian sighed.
Little Su Bao blinked, not quite understanding.
But none of that matters. She remembers that her father and grandmother both use ginseng in their medicine.
Wang Mingtian glanced at the bushes and saw a suspicious patch of white hair.
He pursed his lips, then suddenly frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.
Then, his expression changed slightly, and after a pause, he said, "Never mind, go play with them. If there are any more big shots like this, remember to call me. I'm sleepy and need to take a nap!"
After Wang Mingtian finished speaking, he took a swig of wine from his gourd.
Little Su Bao looked at her master, her brows furrowing involuntarily.
Something's wrong with Master's aura; there's no aura at all!
Logically speaking, all living things should possess that kind of energy.
But Wang Mingtian did not.
Just now, Xiao Su Bao suddenly sensed that her master seemed to have gained a bit more energy.
That aura made Su Bao feel a slight chill all over her body.
She looked up, trying to get a better look, but her master had already lain down...
He lay flat on a rock beside him, his hands clasped in front of his chest…
It was as if he were dead!
The little dumpling was startled and rushed forward. She touched her master's mouth and nose and found that he was still breathing, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Su Bao, come here quickly, look what I found!" Fu Manduo's voice came from just ahead.
Little Su Bao instantly perked up and ran over.
Lin Qiqi followed behind the little girl, her eyes filled with a strange expression.
After they left, Wang Mingtian opened his eyes and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
He quickly downed two mouthfuls of wine, which relieved his discomfort.
At this moment, Little Bell appeared from the side, stood upright, and stood not far from him.
A pair of red eyes stared intently at Wang Mingtian.
Wang Ming paused, then said to Little Bell, "Come here, don't worry, I won't eat you!"
Little Bell glanced at Wang Mingtian's condition, and after a long while, she cautiously approached him.
Wang Mingtian looked at it with half-closed eyes: "Your fortune is not bad, but... you still lack a bit of opportunity!"
Wang Mingtian smiled slightly, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a bottle.
"Consider this your reward for protecting my disciple!" he said in a low voice, then opened the bottle, took out a white pill, and put it in front of Little Bell's three-lobed mouth.
The little bell sniffed it, then opened its mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
After eating, it took off running and stood in a place far away from Wang Mingtian.
Wang Mingtian chuckled, but didn't seem to care. He took a bottle out of his pocket.
Then a drop of red liquid was poured out.
The moment the blood flowed, the surroundings fell silent, but then became somewhat restless.
Wang Mingtian glanced at the red liquid, then slowly applied it to his forehead.
The red liquid vanished instantly, as if it had been absorbed by his body.
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise... the trajectory of this world has changed..."
He murmured softly, raising his eyes; something seemed to be surging in the sky.
At that moment, in the pool in Tangjia Village where the Xuanwu was kept, suddenly, the eyes on the Xuanwu's head opened.
Then, the water in the pool churned, as if something was about to emerge.
Just then, Granny Bai and Nameless made their move simultaneously, instantly appearing beside the pool.
It's only because of the hot weather that many people have gone up the mountain again that no one has seen what's happening here.
"Oh dear, what on earth did that old man do!" Granny Bai cursed, forming a hand seal.
The nameless old Taoist's expression was not good either. He sighed and didn't strike.
The water quickly calmed down.
Something happened at Qian's house as well; the little turtle that had been lying quietly in its small pond suddenly jumped out.
She quickly flipped the little turtle over.
"It's alright, it's alright, little turtle, you mustn't get hurt!" Madam Qian murmured.
The little turtle had its eyes rolled back, but it gradually recovered somewhat, though it appeared much weaker.
Watching this scene, Wang Xiuer couldn't help but feel curious.
"Mother, tell me, what exactly is this little turtle?" Wang Xiuer asked, patting her small, round belly with curiosity in her eyes.
Madam Qian glanced at her daughter-in-law and waved her hand: "If you're free, make some clothes for the little one in your belly. Look at your sister-in-law, she's made so many clothes for the little one in your belly. You, as the mother, don't even know how to put in a little effort!"
"Mom, my sister-in-law has finished all the work, so I don't need to do anything. Besides, if it were a girl, I could do more and it would be useful, but if it's a boy, we have enough clothes at home!"
Wang Xiuer slumped in the rocking chair and said nonchalantly.
The Qian family...
The second son's wife is really missing her daughter terribly.
"Alright, your son and daughter are both your own children, they're both children of the Tang family, can't you stop being so biased for even a day!"
Looking at her daughter-in-law, Qian felt a headache coming on.
"Mother... I learned it all from you!" Wang Xiuer spread her hands, looking innocent.
The Qian family...
"Don't talk, I want to be alone!" Madam Qian rubbed her temples, completely exasperated with her daughter-in-law.
She wasn't being biased at all; it's just that Xiao Su Bao had given them so much, and she couldn't live with herself if she didn't treat the little girl well.
Just then, a few people came in from outside.
"Excuse me, is this Tang Shan's home?" a voice came from the doorway.
Madam Qian frowned slightly, and thinking about recent events, she couldn't help but become wary.
Wang Xiuer had already picked up the machete beside her, her eyes fixed intently on the doorway.
Qian's mouth twitched.
"Alright, you go in, I'll go out and take a look!" Madam Qian said to Wang Xiuer.
"No, I promised Xiaosubao I would protect Mommy!" Wang Xiuer said earnestly.
The Qian family...
That girl is really something!
Ms. Qian was extremely helpless, and at this moment the knocking on the door became even louder.
"We are merchants from the south. We bought a painting from Young Master Tang Shan last time!" the man continued to shout into the room.
Ms. Qian was taken aback; she really didn't know about this.
Wang Xiuer also heard what the person said clearly and exchanged a glance with Qian Shi.
Tang Shan wasn't home at the moment, but Qian Shi did know about it.
"Wait a minute!" Madam Qian shouted, throwing the cleaver in Wang Xiuer's hand to the ground and telling her to go back into the house before going out herself.
Wang Xiuer peered out the window.
Ms. Qian also walked to the door and opened it.
A gentle and refined young man was standing not far away, while a servant was knocking on the door.
Madam Qian looked at the young man and frowned slightly.
