Traveling to the ancient harem

Five years later.

In the forest of Fanjing Mountain, which can almost be called a primitive forest, two gray figures were moving quickly. Hongdou's voice rang out: "Miss, the purple-leafed spiritual grass is really hard to find. My uncle said to look for it under a century-old tree. It's been several days, and there's not even a shadow of it."

"If Second Master said there is, then there must be." Huang Ye was still searching. This magical herb was the main medicine for curing all kinds of poisons, and she had to find it. Second Master asked her to collect all the medicine herself, and then prepare and refine it. As long as it was made into pills and she passed this final test, she would be considered a successful apprentice.

It's really not easy. Huang Ye thought, in the past few years in Ciyun Temple, she worked hard to practice martial arts and learn medicine and poisons, her brain was almost worn out, but fortunately, the letters from the capital never stopped. Knowing that everything was fine at home, she had the opportunity to grow up. She had a premonition that as she grew up, when she returned to the capital again, it would no longer be a smooth sailing. She had to work harder, and the harder she worked, the more chances she would have in the future.

"Miss, I'm hungry." Hongdou touched her empty belly. She had been running in broad daylight, and the steamed buns she had eaten in the morning were long gone.

Huang Ye was also hungry, so she began to ask Hong Dou as usual: "How about we catch a rabbit to eat?"

Hongdou rolled her eyes, not daring to say anything but secretly complaining. He asked her this every time, as if she wouldn't eat unless she agreed. When will the young lady change her habit of saving face?

"I'm going to hunt rabbits. You wait for me by the creek where we roasted rabbits last time." Hongdou ran away.

Huang Ye was satisfied. Buddhism does not allow killing, and she did not break the precept. As for eating meat, that's because she is growing, and she won't grow taller if she doesn't eat meat. Huang Ye still wanted to be the tall beauty with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs like in her previous life. She didn't want to be a short and stout beauty, which would be embarrassing.

Huang Ye walked while looking under the tree to see if she could find any spiritual herbs. Just as she reached the edge of a cliff, a fleshy thing fell from it and almost hit her. She dodged it nimbly and it fell at her feet. She bent down and found it was a bird, but bigger than an ordinary bird. It had a curved beak, uneven mottled white feathers, and white feathers on its tail. Combining the animal world she had seen in her previous life, she thought it should be a bird of prey like an eagle.

Huang Ye held it in his hand and examined it carefully. It should be a young eagle that could not fly yet. One of its legs was broken and blood was flowing out. Its eyes were closed and it looked like it would not live long.

"Oh, I don't know if eagle meat tastes good. It must be more than a pound of meat." Huang Ye said to himself.

The bird suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the yellow leaves with an accusing look, as if saying: I'm not dead yet, and you want to eat me.

"Interesting. This little guy seems to understand human language." Huang Ye pretended to throw it down. The bird was so scared that it grabbed her fingers tightly with the claws of its good leg and looked at her pleadingly.

Looking at its anthropomorphic eyes, Huang Ye felt soft-hearted. He decided to take it back and let Second Master take a look. If it could be saved, it would be nice to keep it as a pet.

By the time she arrived at the stream carrying the little eagle, Hongdou had already gutted a fat rabbit, skinned it and cleaned it.

"It's already cleaned, you can roast it." Hearing her approaching, Hongdou raised her head and said, "Hey, you caught a bird, are you going to roast it too?"

The bird looked at Hongdou angrily, and of course it also saw the rabbit in her hand. It struggled suddenly. It was also hungry and wanted to eat.

Huang Ye put it on the ground, and it fluttered to fly to the rabbit in Hongdou's hand, but it couldn't fly. Hongdou was curious, so she put the rabbit on the ground. Then she saw the bird dragging its injured leg and moving crookedly to the rabbit. It took a bite and tore off a piece of rabbit meat and swallowed it, then took another bite, and another bite..."

The two people were stunned. Is this bird so fierce?

"It seems you have to hunt another rabbit." Huang Ye said to Hongdou.

Hongdou went hunting rabbits without saying a word. There wasn't much else here, but there were plenty of rabbits and pheasants. She and the young lady had eaten them here often.

When Hongdou came back with a rabbit, the rabbit had been almost half eaten by the bird. The rabbit looked full and was lying on the ground to rest.

Hongdou quickly cleaned up the rabbit and started a fire with the dry branches he picked up. Huangye rubbed the salt he carried with him on the rabbit, then pierced the rabbit with a wooden stick and roasted it over the fire. Soon, the tempting smell of meat wafted through the forest.

When the rabbit was roasted until golden brown, Huang Ye pulled out a dagger from his leggings, and the two men began to prepare to eat the meat.

"Oh, Bunny is so cute." Anko rolled her eyes again and the lady started again.

"The rabbit is so cute. How can we live up to its cuteness if we don't eat it?" Huang Ye taught Hongdou a lesson: "Don't roll your eyes every time. Eating should be a ritual. Do you understand the sense of ritual? Forget it, it's useless to talk about it." She muttered to herself, but it didn't affect her speed in eating meat.

The bird raised its head, smelled the aroma of the rabbit meat, and looked at the two people wolfing it down. The roasted meat smelled so good! It also wanted to eat it.
