Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Xiao Sui'er spat at the back, turned around and trotted over, "Madam."

Li Yuening looked at the direction the man in front ran and asked Xiao Sui'er: "Who are you talking to?"

Xiao Sui pouted, "It was that elder sister who taught me. If my wife hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark. Humph, it turns out that she really has bad intentions."

"How to say?"

Xiao Sui'er blurted out, "Ever since my husband came back, she has been lingering at the door every day. I have nothing to do on weekdays and just want to talk to someone, so we became familiar with each other after a while.

I thought she was sincere to me, so I said some kind words to her. She complained to me that her current job was too tiring, and she was very envious of me because I still had free time to chat, so she asked me to ask if I was in need of a maid.

I think my wife will have to have a maid sooner or later, and it would be nice to have one that I get along with."

Li Yuening listened quietly without interrupting Xiaosui'er.

Xiao Suier continued, "After hearing what the lady said, I asked her whether she really wanted to serve you or for other reasons, but she hesitated and refused to tell me.

I knew at a glance that you were right, my lady. She just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and become your concubine. I was so angry that I scolded her, but she actually said that she was also acting on orders. I was just about to ask who it was when you came."

Xiao Sui was so angry that she even forgot to call herself a slave.

Li Yuening touched Xiao Sui'er's head and said, "There is no such thing as good things without reason in this world. If someone suddenly appears who meets your expectations in every way, you should be careful.

This person is probably trying to deceive you, and take advantage of your trust to make demands or get what she wants from you."

Xiao Sui'er, "So that's how it is, Madam, who do you think ordered her to do this?"

Li Yuening saw her eyes rolling around and chuckled, "Go ask her who she belongs to in the courtyard, and you'll probably have a clue."

Xiao Sui'er ran away and said from a distance: "My wife, wait for my good news."

Li Yuening shook her head. Who in this mansion least wanted her to live a comfortable life?

Not hard to guess.

Wait until she is more alert and clean her neck to prepare for her knife.

Li Yuening entered the space and landed directly at the door of the kitchen.

Inside, Xie Shi tied his wide sleeves with a rope, revealing half of his smooth, porcelain-white arm. His strong, thin hands were grabbing a fish and scraping its scales. The fish, which still had a breath left, was struggling with its tail, but was knocked unconscious by a blow from the back of his knife. Noticing someone was looking at him, Xie Shi raised his eyes.

Meeting Li Yuening's admiring gaze, Xie Shi jokingly asked, "Why? Am I pretty?"

The last time he asked this, Li Yuening did not answer. This time, Li Yuening nodded, "The mountain is like jade, and jade is like you. When we look at each other, we smile warmly. There are few people like you in the world. I am afraid that Yuening will have many worries in the future."

If we release young people like this, we will have to recruit more people, which is really a problem.

Xie Shi laughed cheerfully, "Yuening praised me."

At this moment, Xie Shi realized the benefits that his beauty brought him. Making Yue Ning happy was the greatest blessing for this face.

While Xie Shi was washing the fish's internal organs with water transformed by his spiritual power, he said to Li Yuening, "I've made you some red ginger sugar water. You can drink it once it boils."

Li Yuening looked at the clay pot on the stove next to him and stared: "Such a big pot?"

Xie Shi looked over and said, "It's not this one. It's on the small stove in the room."

"Oh, what is this?"

"I hunted a wild boar and used its blood and liver to replenish your blood." Xie Shi wiped his hands and opened the lid. Dark red pig liver and blood were rolling inside.

Li Yuening moved closer, then took a step back, covering her nose, "Hmm~ It smells fishy."

I don’t know if it’s because of the menstrual fluid, but Li Yuening’s sense of smell is very sensitive.

"The smell won't be so strong once it's cooked." Xie Shi quickly closed the lid.

Li Yuening nodded, "What about pork?"

"Throw it to the beasts in the mountains."

"Ah, why didn't you save some for eating?"

Xie Shi patiently explained: "Adult wild boar meat has a strong fishy smell and is difficult to cook. The meat is also very tough and not tasty. If you want to eat it, I'll go hunt a suckling pig."

Li Yuening shook her head. "Forget it today. I didn't expect that meat would be so particular."

Xie Shi said: "Well, they are all passed down by our ancestors. In the wild, wild boar meat is the worst choice, while venison is the best. Deer antlers can be used as medicine. Venison, deer blood, and deer penis are all extremely nutritious. There are good things all over the body, and it is not difficult to hunt."

Seeing that Li Yuening was listening attentively, Xie Shi continued to explain to her: "Tigers and wolves are both fierce beasts. Ordinary people would avoid them when they see them, so things like tiger skins, tiger bones, wolf teeth, and wolf skins are very expensive."

"Then why are the Jianghu people so embarrassed? They have the skills, so hunting a tiger or a wolf is just a piece of cake for them, right?"

Xie Shi laughed: "They train in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter, and in the end you ask them to hunt tigers? Haha~"

Xie Shi was amused by Li Yuening's words.

Li Yuening was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Xie Shi laughed enough and said, "It's not right or wrong. Martial artists are just like scholars. They all have pride. They think it's an insult to their martial arts to use their proud martial arts and swordsmanship to hunt wild animals.

If they encounter a large ferocious beast, they will take action, firstly for the safety of the surrounding people, and secondly to earn a good reputation for themselves.

It is indeed a bit old-fashioned, but it is precisely because of this old-fashionedness that ordinary people can survive and these beasts can survive."

Li Yuening thought about it and realized that if these people were only after money, then there would only be trees left on the mountain, and no animals. This would disrupt the laws of nature, and over time, the ecology would lose balance. Unexpectedly, just because of their disdain, they indirectly balanced the natural world.

"Some ice-cutting families don't keep cattle or sheep." Li Yuening said.

Xie Shi said: "Well, their abilities are above those of ordinary people, and they have a sense of justice and will not compete with ordinary people for the little things they need to make a living."

Li Yuening, "It should be so, but there are also some who take advantage of their own abilities to bully the weak."

Xie Shi, "Wherever there are people, there is the Jianghu. Where there is the Jianghu, there is fighting. They cannot defeat those who are stronger than them, so they can only find some achievements in the weak. There is no other reason, they are just cowards."

"You see it very clearly."

Xie Shi was very relaxed when talking to Li Yuening, and unconsciously became a little subjective.

"My humble opinion." While speaking, Xie Shi had already put the fish into the pot and was now washing the mushrooms, with peeled bamboo shoots next to him.

Li Yuening, "Wouldn't it be too much to put all of it in? Maoqiu hasn't woken up yet."

Before Xie Shi could answer, a cheerful voice sounded behind him: Master, Maoqiu is awake and hungry.

Before Li Yuening turned around, the ball of fur fell on her shoulder like a shadow.

"You...how did you become like this?" The fur on the ball's body fell off, and two more claws appeared. Its eyes turned golden, and it lay limply on Li Yuening's shoulder.

Xie Shi looked up when he heard this, "Four-legged gecko?"

Maoqiu: My master and husband, Maoqiu is not a palace gecko.

Li Yuening held it in front of her eyes and said, "Let me take a look."

Maoqiu: Hehehe, master, can Maoqiu go out now?

The fur ball wagged its tail happily.
