Mu Sheng worked quickly, and the fish was ready just as dusk fell.
Without any complicated seasonings, just steaming it briefly and sprinkling some salt, it smelled so good that it made everyone's mouths water.
It was already dark when Xiong Huo carefully lit half a candle and placed it on the table where she was eating.
"Cao'er, eat quickly." Mu Sheng brought the fish to the table, carefully removed the bones, put the meat into a wooden bowl, and pushed it in front of her.
Mu Sheng swallowed hard without making a sound.
It smells really good!
This was the first time Cao'er had eaten fish; her former tribe was so poor that they never ate it.
The thorns are so prickly that even males dare not eat it, as they might accidentally die.
She'd heard so much about bighead carp having few bones and being especially delicious these past few days that she was tempted.
She smiled, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents, and eagerly took a bite.
Soft and tender, with a slightly salty taste, it's both fresh and delicious.
"tasty!"
"No wonder it was discovered in the height of summer!"
Cao'er choked because she ate too fast. She coughed until her cheeks turned red, and Mu Sheng patted her back to help her catch her breath.
Xiong Huo frowned with heartache: "Eat your grass slowly, it's all yours."
The poor little one is so happy even eating meat.
They must have suffered a lot in their tribe before.
"Cough cough cough..." She nodded obediently, her gaze meeting Mu Shengqing's eyes. His genuine concern made Cao'er's face turn even redder.
In a moment of nervousness, he reached his chopsticks directly into the plate, grabbed a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth.
"Cough cough cough!" After taking a bite, she realized what was happening and looked up to meet Mu Sheng and Xiong Huo's worried eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Grass!"
"Cough cough cough, something's stuck in my throat." Cao'er's clear eyes quickly filled with tears.
She was so frightened that she trembled and tried to swallow, but she couldn't swallow it down.
Mu Sheng quickly grabbed a piece of meat: "Cao'er, eat quickly and swallow it."
Xiong Huo brought over a glass of water, looking worried: "Grass, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, have some water."
"Cough cough cough... I feel like I can't swallow it." Cao'er sobbed softly.
After struggling for a long time, I still couldn't cough it up or swallow it.
"Don't be afraid, little one, come and have some water." Mu Sheng and Xiong Huo were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They deliberately lowered their voices so as not to frighten Cao'er.
Grass took a sip of water with tears in her eyes, but it was no use; the thorn was stuck in her throat, neither going up nor down.
It didn't hurt much, but it put her under tremendous psychological pressure.
"Waaah, it still doesn't seem to work."
As a result, swallowing rice and drinking soup had no effect, and she was in tears and on the verge of vomiting.
Her complexion was terrible; it had visibly turned deathly pale.
I don't know if it was from fear or pain.
An unease flickered in Mu Sheng's eyes, and a chill crept up his limbs.
He pretended to be nonchalant and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Grass, I'll go and get the witch doctor."
Cao'er's fingers tightened and loosened, a wave of panic rising within her. Her voice trembled slightly; "Find Shengxia!"
It will definitely work in the height of summer!
"good!"
It gets dark early during the snowy season, so everything is quiet now.
Mu Sheng ran to Sheng Xia's house and started shouting breathlessly outside.
"In the height of summer, help! My little Cao'er has a fishbone stuck in her throat, please help her!"
She groggily got up in the middle of summer, her soft hair cascading down her back, her little face flushed.
His previously dazed eyes lit up instantly when he saw the Wolf King.
Wolf King couldn't help but smile, raised his hand to smooth her hair, and said softly, "Mmm."
"In the height of summer, save the grass."
Outside the window, Mu Sheng was sobbing uncontrollably, and Sheng Xia's face darkened, her expression grave.
She dressed herself neatly with the help of the Wolf King, and by then she could hear everything outside clearly.
A clear, melodious voice, with a slight nasal tone, said: "Quick, let's go take a look."
Wolf King leaped out of the window with Shengxia in his arms: "Don't rush, little one."
The cool moonlight shone down, and the summer heat was so intense that it felt like your internal organs were frozen.
"It's so cold!"
She knew there was a large temperature difference between day and night, but she didn't expect the temperature difference to be even greater during the snow season; it was freezing cold.
Wolf King subconsciously pulled her closer to his arms, using his supernatural power to heat up the cold air around them.
Soon, Shengxia's brows relaxed, and she kissed Wolf King with a look of joy: "This ability is so useful!"
A must-have for home and travel!
As soon as Sheng Xia stepped outside, she saw Mu Sheng looking anxious. Without saying much, she gently said, "Come on, I'll go take a look."
It should be fine. Bighead carp have few bones, and the bones are thin and soft, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Yes! Thank you, Shengxia, thank you for saving Cao'er!"
"I'll bring you the payment in a bit!"
When the height of summer arrives, Xiong Huo is crouching down, gently raising his hand to wipe away the glistening tears of the grass.
The wind outside was biting cold, and Mu Sheng's heart was hanging in the air, neither rising nor falling.
The snowy season was bitterly cold, and he took a deep breath.
His palms were sweating profusely, and he clenched his fists tightly, repeatedly telling himself the same thing.
Summer is here, the baby will be alright!
Grass looked at Summer with teary eyes: "Summer, you're here! Waaah, I'm so scared."
"It's okay, don't be afraid," Sheng Xia comforted softly.
Then, turning his head, he gave the order: "Musheng, pour a bowl of water and bring two clean chopsticks."
Without saying a word, Mu Sheng quickly brought a bowl of water and two clean chopsticks and placed them on the table.
Sheng Xia remained calm as she placed her chopsticks in a cross shape over the rim of the bowl, dividing it into four even sections.
Then he raised his head and looked at the grass seriously.
"Cao'er, stand still and hold the chopsticks in place with both hands. Look, there are four compartments in total. Turn the bowl clockwise... and drink water by turning the bowl like this. Take a sip of water every time you turn the bowl to the next compartment."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Cao'er did as instructed, and after drinking two cups, the nausea subsided.
The fish bone went down when I drank the third cup.
My throat feels so relaxed; I have no idea where the fishbone went.
Cao'er's eyes widened in disbelief: "It's done?"
Both beasts were overjoyed, and Mu Sheng was so excited that he cried tears of joy.
Grass's tears came quickly and went quickly; just a moment ago she was crying and looked heartbroken.
He beamed with joy and looked at Shengxia with adoration.
Her face beamed with a radiant smile, and her voice was filled with barely concealed excitement: "Shengxia, you're even more amazing than the witch doctor!"
"Thank you, Shengxia. Go back to sleep now," Cao'er said earnestly, her eyes clear.
She must be very sleepy!
It was dark and cold, but she was still willing to come out and save the beast. Summer is so wonderful!
Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes crinkling with joy: "It's good that you're alright. Be careful when you eat in the future, I'm going back now."
She thought to herself smugly, "Chinese traditional medicine is really that amazing."
The wolf king picked her up and placed a kiss on the tip of her nose, then smiled and said, "Let's go home."
"Mmm." Sheng Xia nestled obediently in his arms and nodded gently.
The moonlight cast long shadows of the two beasts.
Wolf King used his supernatural powers to keep her warm, and walked steadily step by step.
He looked down and saw that the baby in his arms was asleep.
