After being exiled with her husband and children, she returned with great power to rule the world
Chapter 69: Envy and Jealousy
Murong Ling'er knew very well that some mushrooms were highly poisonous and inedible. She carefully distinguished them. With her rich experience, she could accurately distinguish between poisonous mushrooms and edible mushrooms.
Poisonous mushrooms are often brightly colored, oddly shaped, and have spotted gills, while edible mushrooms usually have intact caps, natural colors, and a pleasant aroma.
Murong Ling'er only picked mushrooms that met edible characteristics, such as those with round caps, brown or grayish-white color, and no pungent smell. While picking, she also kept an eye out for other usable ingredients around.
When Murong Ling'er walked out of the forest with wild rabbits and mushrooms, Murong Chen and Huo Zihao also came back with bundles of dry firewood. Their little faces were red from running, but they were filled with happy smiles.
As soon as Murong Ling'er appeared, she attracted the attention of people around her.
Zhong Liufang, who was resting here with her, looked at the rabbit and mushroom in her hands, with envy, jealousy, and complex emotions flashing across his eyes.
Murong Ling'er didn't care about the eyes of others and began to process the ingredients skillfully.
I saw her slaughtering the wild rabbit with a sharp move of the knife, then quickly removing the rabbit skin, cutting open the belly, cleaning out the internal organs, and repeatedly rinsing the rabbit meat with clear stream water. Every movement was precise and skillful.
Deng Lihua was not idle either. She took the mushrooms picked by Murong Ling'er and began to clean them carefully.
She carefully broke off the roots of the mushrooms, gently brushed off the impurities on the caps with her hands, and then placed the mushrooms in a basin filled with water and washed them carefully. Her movements were gentle and meticulous, and her eyes were focused, as if she was treating a precious treasure.
The children gathered around, staring at the ingredients that were about to become delicious food, swallowing their saliva from time to time, looking forward to the delicious lunch that was about to come.
Even though the exiles were filled with admiration, no one dared to say a word out of courtesy.
Now, everyone has clearly understood the situation. Murong Ling'er is definitely not someone who should be easily provoked. Even Captain Chifeng has to listen to her, let alone these lowly fugitives!
Even though their hearts are filled with envy and jealousy, they can only endure it because they know that they are simply unable to bear the consequences of lying.
At this time, Murong Ling'er skillfully put the whole wild rabbit into a clay pot and stewed it. As the firewood burned, wisps of smoke rose and the tempting aroma gradually spread.
The fragrance seemed to have magical power, attracting several children to come over involuntarily.
"Brother Chen, I call you brother! You will be my big brother from now on. Can you give me some soup to try later?" A slightly bolder child said with anticipation while swallowing hard.
Seeing someone speak boldly, the skinny kid next to him also followed suit with a shameless face and squeezed to sit next to Murong Chen. His greedy look was so funny that people couldn't help laughing, and his saliva was almost flowing to the ground.
Murong Chen glanced at him sideways, and said with a hint of disdain on his face, "Who is your eldest brother? My mother only gave birth to me as her only son. Didn't your family not get a share of the wolf meat?"
"Hehe, Brother Chen, you don't know! My mother's cooking skills are really terrible. I can't chew the wolf meat she cooked, and it has a very strong fishy smell. It makes me feel sick."
As Lin Dong spoke, his eyes were fixed on the earthenware pot where the food was stewing. His Adam's apple unconsciously slid up and down quickly, as if he was imagining the scene of tasting the delicious food.
In fact, Lin Dong had long been drooling over Murong Ling'er's cooking skills. Every time he opened the lid of the pot when Murong Ling'er cooked a dish, the aroma that filled the air made him wish he could turn into Murong Chen immediately.
Ever since he ate the wolf meat cooked by his mother, his desire for the delicious food made by Murong Ling'er has become stronger. This time, he really couldn't resist the gluttony in his heart.
"Yes! Yes! Brother Chen, we are good friends, don't be so stingy!"
The other children also responded eagerly, their faces filled with flattery and anticipation, as if they would immediately cheer if Murong Chen only nodded.
Murong Chen frowned and looked at these guys with eager eyes. Although he felt a little helpless, he also felt that their greedy looks were really pitiful.
"Okay, okay, when it's cooked, each person can only have one bite." Murong Chen finally softened his heart.
Hearing this, Lin Dong and others cheered instantly, and their excited expressions seemed as if they had already tasted the delicious chicken soup.
They gathered around, staring at the clay pot without blinking, waiting happily, afraid of missing the best opportunity to taste the delicious food.
Murong Ling'er looked at this group of little kids. They were very brave and would say anything for the sake of delicious food. This scene made Murong Ling'er feel amused.
Her eyes fell on her son, and she saw that he was among his friends, with a bright smile on his face, no longer as silent and unhappy as before.
Murong Linger recalled that her son always hid in a corner alone and rarely played or communicated with other children.
And now, he can get along well with these little friends and is so cheerful and lively. She can't help but feel very comforted.
In the distance, several families who had been watching this place nervously had their hearts in their throats. When they saw that Murong Ling'er did not drive the children away with a cold face, their tense heartstrings instantly relaxed and they no longer cared about the situation here.
After a while, the officials made the coarse flour buns, and several children each took a bun and ran over happily.
At this moment, Murong Ling'er was about to finish cooking the rabbit soup she had been cooking over a high fire. Just as he was about to lift the lid of the pot, Lin Dong and the others, without a second thought, stuffed all the coarse flour buns in their hands into Murong Chen's mouth and said in unison, "Brother Chen, you eat. We'll just have some soup."
Although they were just a group of children, no one intended to take advantage of others and eat and drink for free. They knew in their hearts that although the coarse flour buns could not compare to the delicious rabbit meat soup, they could at least fill their stomachs.
Murong Chen held the rough-wheat buns in his arms with a look of surprise on his face. He looked at his friends again. They didn't even look at the buns in their hands. Their eyes were staring straight into the pot, as if they wanted to dive into it. This made Murong Chen feel helpless.
Fortunately, the hare my mother hunted was big and fat.
Murong Ling'er smiled and served a large bowl of mushroom and rabbit soup and handed it to Lin Dong.
"Eat quickly! Be careful, it's hot!" Murong Ling'er's voice broke the silence around them.
Lin Dong and several other children opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.
They never expected Murong Ling'er to be so generous. The big bowl of delicious food with meat and soup was enough for them to have a full meal.
"Thank you!" the children shouted happily, with happy smiles on their faces.
Huo Shuixian looked at Murong Ling'er so generously giving the rabbit soup to these children, and her heart was filled with jealousy! Then she hated her even more in her heart.
She clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, bit her lips tightly, and her face was frighteningly gloomy.
"Hmph! This bitch Murong Ling'er only knows how to pretend to be a good person in front of everyone. Why do people always revolve around her?" Huo Shuixian cursed secretly in her heart.
At this moment, Murong Ling'er was chatting and laughing with the children. This warm scene made Huo Shuixian's anger even more intense.
