The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Chang Qing flashed to Gu Anqing's side and pretended to be looking for salt. Lin Qiuer saw all this. She knew it well but did not intend to expose it.

Lin Qiuer took the small porcelain bottle handed to her by Changqing with a smile, pulled out the cork, deftly pinched out some light yellow coarse salt, gently crushed it and sprinkled it evenly on the already sizzling barbecue.

Cut the freshly washed water celery into two halves and place it on the stone slab. Stir-fry it with the fat that flows out from the barbecue. When the aroma fills your nose, sprinkle some salt powder on it and you're done.

"Fourth brother, come and try it!" Lin Qiuer shouted to Lin Nanyue, who was sitting aside, staring at the barbecue on the stone slab.

Hearing Lin Qiuer's call, Lin Nanyue walked to the fire without hesitation, took the two branches she handed over and went straight to the venison.

"Eat the rabbit meat first, then the vegetables, and finally the venison." Lin Qiuer saw Lin Nanyue's actions and hurriedly reminded.

"Why can't we eat venison first? It seems that venison is the most delicious." Although Lin Nanyue raised the question, his chopsticks still "obediently" turned to the thinly sliced ​​rabbit meat.

"The pieces of venison are large and need to be fried before they can be eaten." Lin Qiuer explained.

Chang Qing looked at the two people who were already enjoying the food by the fire, and hurried back to help Gu Anqing to the fire first, and then asked Lin Qiuer, "Miss Lin, where are ours?"

"Let's eat together, but there are not enough chopsticks, you have to help yourselves." Lin Qiuer took a bite of the emerald green water celery, it was so fresh and refreshing that she couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

"I understand this principle." Chang Qing looked as if he had everything under control. He took out a piece of silk cloth from the bag on his waist and unfolded it layer by layer to reveal the silver chopsticks inside.

Lin Qiu'er was enjoying her meal happily, but when she saw Changqing's actions, she remembered that both the master and servant came from good families.

When he went out, he carried silver chopsticks and salt with him, which made her teeth ache.

She refused to admit that she was jealous, she just ate a little faster.

After Chang Qing took out the chopsticks, he found that Miss Lin and her brother ate the meat very quickly. If they were any later, he and his master would not be able to eat any meat.

He picked up several pieces of rabbit meat from the stone slab with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, then picked up a piece of vegetable and put it to Gu Anqing's mouth. After he ate it, he turned around and joined the team grabbing the meat.

This meal was eaten like starving ghosts fighting for food.

Poor Gu Anqing, he could only wait for Changqing to feed him.

Lin Qiuer actually prefers water celery and rabbit slices, and only ate a few pieces of venison. She still thinks venison is delicious only when it is stewed until it is soft.

As soon as the beggar's chicken was unearthed, the aroma instantly filled the air. Lin Qiu'er took a bite and found that the taste was much worse than what she had eaten before. But the other three people were already conquered by the aroma of the beggar's chicken. Even Gu Anqing, who usually didn't have a strong appetite, couldn't help but raise his upper body.

Of the last two beggar chickens, Lin Qiuer only ate one chicken leg, and the rest were cleaned up by the remaining three people present.

After eating, Lin Qiuer sat lazily by the fire and didn't want to move. Gu Anqing couldn't move, and Lin Nanyue didn't seem to plan to move either.

Changqing looked around and realized that he was the one with the lowest status, so he obediently stood up, collected all the bones and threw them into the fire, roasting them directly into ashes.

"Miss Lin, have you ever been to the county town?" Changqing's temperament is completely opposite to that of his master. What he can't stand the most is silence.

Lin Qiuer looked at Lin Nanyue. She didn't know whether she had been to the county town before, so she could only look at Lin Nanyue.

Lin Nanyue shook her head.

"I haven't been there. I just ate and can't sleep now. Can you introduce the county to me?"

Chang Qing got the answer he wanted, and with a smile on his face he began to introduce Lin Qiuer to the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the county. His language was humorous, and because he was born a servant, he knew a lot about various interesting things in the county, and his introduction was much more vivid than his master's previous way.

Lin Qiuer asked questions as she listened, especially asking in detail about the pharmacies and food in the county town.

"The most famous medicine shop in the county is Zhiweitang. I heard that they have branches not only in our Nanyue country, but also in the other three countries." Changqing carefully talked about the news he heard from various places, "In addition to Zhiweitang, there is Anlefang run by the government, and the Song Family Medicine Shop run by the local big family Song family."

Although it is unknown how many people are under the jurisdiction of a county, if there are only three pharmacies, it is indeed too few. However, only wealthy families can go to pharmacies for medical treatment or have doctors visit them at home. Unless they are facing a life-threatening illness, rural people will probably only seek treatment from barefoot doctors.

It seems that they can consider developing in the direction of a medicine shop in the future, as they cannot live in the village from generation to generation.

"What about food?" After Lin Qiu'er was sure in her heart, she continued to ask.

"There are a lot of places to eat! There are Wanfulou, Biyunxuan, Guiyunlou, Zuixianju..." Changqing counted seven or eight places on his fingers, "But these places are very expensive, with a minimum of dozens of taels of silver and a maximum of hundreds of taels. Only the masters of the families can go there to entertain guests. Ordinary people usually eat baked cakes or noodles in small shops on the streets."

The conversation lasted until late at night. Lin Qiuer yawned, "It's already so late, no wonder I'm so sleepy. Next time I go to the county, I will definitely visit the place you mentioned."

As she spoke, she dozed off while sitting there. Seeing this, Lin Nanyue sat over and let her lean on him.

The night passed peacefully until dawn.

When Lin Qiuer woke up, she found that half of her body was numb. She sat up straight and beat her hands and feet.

"Awake?" Lin Nanyue asked.

"Fourth brother, didn't you sleep all night?" Lin Qiuer asked.

"When my third brother and I went hunting, it was common for us to not sleep for four or five days, not to mention..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Lin Qiuer understood what he didn't finish: What's more, there are two outsiders who are not sure whether they are enemies or friends.

After the four of them packed their luggage, they continued on their journey. Gu Anqing was naturally handed over to Changqing to lead the way.

Lin Nanyue led the way, Lin Qiuer followed closely behind, and Gu Anqing and Changqing followed at the end.

They marched quickly all the way, not even stopping to eat lunch, and did not stop until mid-afternoon.

"Our village is in front, but you two can't get in." Lin Nanyue said to Gu Anqing and his servant, "I'll take you to a nearby wooden house. That's where we stay when we go out."

"Thank you, Brother Lin. Having a roof to shelter us is much better than living in the wild or in a cave." Gu Anqing bowed to Lin Qiuer and his sister in thanks.

Seeing that the expression on his face didn't seem fake, Lin Nanyue nodded inwardly. This was the best solution he could think of. If the other party refused, then they would have to find a place to live by themselves.

"Fourth brother, why can't they enter our village?" Lin Qiuer caught up with Lin Nanyue and asked quietly.

"The road leading to the village is full of poisonous insects and snakes. We have no way to control them. If they follow us in, everyone will die." Lin Nanyue replied.

Lin Qiu'er asked in shock, "What about the two of us?"

Lin Nanyue reached out and flicked Lin Qiuer's head, "You have lost your memory! But the smell of the medicinal bath you took since childhood has not disappeared."

Hearing this, Lin Qiu'er relaxed, "That's good, that's good! Fortunately, Fourth Brother, you came, otherwise I would definitely not be able to go back alone!"

The brother and sister sent Gu Anqing and his servant to the wooden house. The house looked simple, but it had all kinds of daily necessities. There were traces of life everywhere in the house, as if someone had just left.

Lin Nanyue pointed to the distance and said, "There is a spring over there. You can go there to get some water. Also, there are a lot of prey in the nearby forests. You can go and hunt them."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Anqing knew the situation in the vicinity and felt a little relieved.

"Then we'll leave first." Lin Nanyue turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Lin, thank you for your care." Gu Anqing turned and walked out, then said to Lin Qiu'er who was looking around, "Qiu'er, let's go.

When Lin Qiu'er heard this, she immediately followed Lin Nanyue out. The two of them left side by side, and their figures gradually disappeared in the mountain road.

After the two men left, Chang Qing couldn't help but ask the question in his mind: "Master, why don't we go into the village with them? This is a good opportunity."

Gu Anqing looked at the open space outside the wooden house and sighed: "Didn't you hear what Lin Nanyue said? The road leading into the village is full of poisonous insects and snakes. We can't pass through as safely as they do."

"Then why can they go in?" Chang Qing still didn't understand.

"They must have their own way to get in. This is their secret and way of survival. It is impossible to reveal it to outsiders easily."

"That's right." After hearing what Gu Anqing said, Chang Qing put himself in Gu Anqing's shoes and thought that it would be impossible for him to let others know the secret concerning life and death, so he stopped worrying about this issue.

On the other side, Lin Qiu'er followed Lin Nanyue's steps carefully, not daring to take a wrong step.

The surrounding trees were so tall that their tops could not be seen, casting shadows one after another. On the road below, countless poisonous insects were swarming in the grass, centipedes, scorpions, vipers... They were crawling in twists and turns, squirming and entangled in dense masses, giving Lin Qiuer goose bumps all over her body, and her heartbeat also accelerated several beats.

"It's really disgusting to see so many poisonous insects and snakes." Lin Qiu'er said with difficulty, trying hard to suppress the churning in her stomach.

Lin Nanyue didn't say anything, but just walked in front silently, as if this horrible road full of poisonous insects and snakes was nothing to him.

After walking through this terrifying road, they embarked on a long winding mountain road.

The mountain road winds up like a dragon and snake. Looking up, the gate of the stockade on the top of the mountain is majestic and magnificent, standing between the blue sky and white clouds, as if silently guarding this land.
