Chapter 318: The Flower Thief
Wen Wan was stunned, her eyes a little blurred.
In her impression, she always unconsciously regarded him as the pitiful boy who was rescued by her.
I have forgotten that the young boy back then has now become the powerful prince of Mobei.
Seeing her like this, Winn grinned widely again.
He raised his hand and rubbed Wen Wan's head, "So, sister, it's my turn to take care of you now."
By the time Wen Wan came to her senses, he had already withdrawn his hand and changed the subject.
"These horses have excellent bloodlines and are not freely circulated among the people. They are more like war horses specially bred by the imperial court. Am I right, sister?"
Wen Wan ignored the remaining warmth on her head and nodded.
Wen En added, "The imperial court's war horses are managed by a special government office. Some people have secretly obtained a few and sold them, but for so many war horses to fall into the hands of bandits is definitely not something that ordinary people can do."
Wen Wan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Is it possible to tell whether these war horses are from the Duan Dynasty or Mobei?"
Winn didn't answer immediately, but walked slowly around before finally saying two words.
“Both.”
When Wen Wan heard this, her face was immediately filled with worry. "This White Tiger Village is really not simple. They are trying to make a living from both ends. No wonder they can thrive in this no-man's land."
While the two were talking, they heard a quarrel in the distance.
It turned out that two doctors were fighting over a sick horse.
Wen Wan took a quick look and saw a sick foal in the fence. The foal was drooling and it was obvious that it was very ill.
Wen Wan saw the familiar little medicine boy and walked over to ask, "What's going on?"
The little medicine boy sighed, "There aren't many sick horses in the stable. I looked around and found three sick ones. So, they're fighting over a chance to get their hands on them."
Hearing this, Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth and asked casually, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all. How come your master has found the sick horse?"
The little medicine boy smiled mysteriously, "Not only did I find it, I also saved it for you. Grandma, please follow me."
The little medicine boy ignored those who were fighting, and instead took Wen Wan and the others to the stable in the corner.
The little medicine boy's master was an unremarkable middle-aged man named Li. He had an ordinary appearance and figure, and even his smile was very faint.
She greeted him politely, but her eyes fell on the handful of spices in his hand.
"This is..." Wen Wan's pupils shrank.
Master Li explained calmly, "This is a spice that can make horses estrus."
Although the second-in-command of the mountain stronghold said that he could cure the sick horse within two days, he did not mention what disease it was.
But considering the Second In Command's hidden illness, curing the impotence of the horse would definitely be more appreciated by the Second In Command than curing an ordinary disease.
I have to say that Doctor Li is a smart man. He knows how to use spices to screen out war horses that cannot go into estrus.
But what shocked Wen Wan was not the screening of sick horses, but...
Wen Wan asked casually, "Doctor Li, is this spice recipe passed down from our ancestors?"
Doctor Li replied casually, "That's not the case. This recipe was taught to me by a master."
"oh?"
Wen Wan feigned interest, "Who is this expert? From what Doctor Li said, it seems that he admires that person very much."
Perhaps because the person he admired was mentioned, Doctor Li actually patiently said a few more words.
"She's an amazing girl. Not only can she cure horses' illnesses, she can also breed them scientifically. Oh, and by the way, you might not understand science, but it means reasonable."
Hearing this, Wen Wan's mouth twitched.
When she looked at Master Li and the little medicine boy again, her eyes became much gentler.
Well, she finally knew who they were.
She said, such a clever little medicine boy, how can he be an ordinary medicine boy?
The little medicine boy and Master Li suddenly discovered that the old lady in front of them was smiling very warmly.
The two people were a little confused and felt a little uneasy.
Wen Wan patted the little medicine boy on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Work hard, you will have a bright future."
The little medicine boy looked confused and was about to ask a few more questions when someone came over.
The old Taoist stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, "That's a good idea. Can you give me one of these horses, little brother?"
The little medicine boy looked at Master Li, who hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"There are three horses with problems. You can take one away."
The old Taoist priest did not hesitate and immediately stepped forward to start treating the patient.
These doctors are good at treating humans. Although this is their first time treating horses, the same principle applies to all cases.
After a while, the old Taoist priest had an idea in mind and wrote down a prescription.
He was not stingy and showed the prescription to Master Li for discussion. Master Li was also an expert and immediately praised: "Wonderful! This prescription is very good."
The two looked in Winn's direction again.
Winn: “…”
With a wooden face, he took the prescription and pretended to look at it.
Then he nodded and said a word in a dry voice.
"wonderful."
Alas, this acting skill really needs to be improved.

At night, the whole yard was filled with the smell of herbs, and there was a small stove for boiling medicine at the door of each room.
Under normal circumstances, such a strong smell of medicine would definitely make Wen Wan irritable.
But tonight, she was very calm, and even the unpleasant smell of medicine could taste a hint of fragrance.
It was late at night and the candles in the yard were extinguished one after another.
Wen Wan was completely awake and lay by the window, looking at the silver moon hanging in the sky.
At three o'clock in the morning, she couldn't bear it anymore and yawned.
When I opened my eyes again, a dark figure suddenly stood in front of me.
Before she could scream, the man covered her mouth and quickly turned around and went into the house.
"Who are you waiting for, staying awake so late at night?"
A familiar voice sounded, and the tone was a bit lewd, like a ruffian teasing a decent woman.
Wen Wan's eyes widened, she pulled his arms down with both hands, and whispered, "Who else can we wait for? The flower thief who climbs through the window in the middle of the night."
Shen Yu: “…”
He raised his hand to close the window, pulled her into his arms, and jokingly said, "Young lady, how can you be so wanton? What kind of young lady from a good family would not serve her husband well and still look forward to being a flower thief?"
Wen Wan glanced at him and said, "It's all my husband's fault. Not only is he blind, but he also lacks the virility of a man... Woo..."
Before she could finish her words, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, silencing her increasingly shameless words.
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and the reunion is the most affectionate.
After a moment, the two separated breathlessly.
"Who do you say lacks masculinity?"
Shen Yu was so angry that his teeth itched. He pinched her chin and said, "You can be complacent. When things calm down, I will have plenty of time to deal with you."
Wen Wan slapped his hand away and said with a smile: "Don't say harsh words, you will be the one who gets slapped in the face in the end. Okay, walls have ears, let's cut to the chase."
Shen Yu responded, sat down calmly, and pulled her into his arms again.
"Luckily you opened the window, I saw you right away, otherwise I would have missed you."
He was halfway through his words when he froze, "No, you left the window open just to wait for me! How did you know I would come tonight?"
