Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Li Yuzhi brewed the medicine that Sang Ning had gathered and fed some to the old lady.

Sang Ning then crushed it and applied it externally to the old lady.

Although the old lady was still unconscious, her breathing was much stronger than before.

After she finished her work, she beckoned to her three children and took out the little trinkets she had picked on the mountain.

A large handful of nutmegs.

Its scientific name is *Cynanchum paniculatum*, but it has many different names in different places, such as *Guailou*, *Maobi Teng*, *Wanlan*, *Yangpo Nai*, etc.

This is a wonderful thing; every part of it is valuable.

The leaves can relieve cough and phlegm, while the stems can nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang, and replenish essence and qi.

The white sap inside the fruit can also help remove warts.

She picked the tender fruit; it was crisp and delicious.

"Don't eat it all at once, save room for wolf meat."

The three children were very surprised. They had never eaten this before. Was it delicious?

They were all frowning just now, but now they're all happy.

The little ones are very good at reading people's expressions. As soon as Sang Ning returned and gave the old lady the medicine, everyone relaxed, and of course, they were no longer afraid.

"Delicious! Crispy and sweet."

Xiao Jinxin put it away first and whispered, "I'll eat with Grandma when she wakes up."

"So sweet!" Sang Ning patted her head.

Girls are indeed like warm cotton-padded jackets; the old lady will probably be happy when she wakes up.

It doesn't matter that Yun Shuixian, the ungrateful one, is gone; we still have our sweet and gentle granddaughter!

Sang Ning also gave Xie Yurou a hand, since she was pregnant and would get hungry quickly.

She took care of everyone before she got to Huo Chang'an.

Huo Chang'an was polishing a tree branch with a stone, sharpening one end to a point, probably intending to make an arrow.

Seeing the sticks tied to his body, Sang Ning strongly disagreed.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let's find a doctor to correct your lumbar spine first."

She tried to dismantle the stick, but Huo Chang'an pushed her away with his hand.

He didn't speak, his eyes lowered in silent resistance.

"No, this is not good for your health at all, why suffer like this?"

Huo Chang'an's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at Sang Ning's empty hands.

Then he looked at Jintang, who was crunching on a nut.

They just wouldn't talk about dismantling the sticks.

"You want to eat too?"

"...I don't want to," the boy said in a muffled voice.

Sang Ning thought about it and realized that it was normal for patients to have strange psychology sometimes.

"wait."

Huo Chang'an saw her turn to leave, opened his mouth but couldn't call out to her.

He picked up a small stone and threw it at Jintang.

"Fourth Uncle, what are you doing?"

"You're always eating alone, why don't you ask me anything?"

"Didn't you say you weren't going to eat?"

Jintang was a little confused, but she still reached out and handed over two.

"I won't eat it," Huo Chang'an refused.

Then continue the education: "Whether I eat or not is my business, but you have to ask first, it's a matter of manners."

"When I say I won't eat, it doesn't necessarily mean I don't want to eat; when I say I'll eat, it doesn't necessarily mean I really want to eat. Do you understand?"

Do not understand.

Whether Fourth Uncle wants to eat or not, he wasn't like this before; he would just say what he wanted directly.

It feels like he's acting like his father now; as his second uncle would say, a single sentence can take eight turns.

Hard work!

My aunt said behind my back that my fourth uncle is now unpredictable and moody, and it's true.

He's normal in front of his fourth aunt, but in front of them... he never gives them a friendly look.

Sang Ning returned quickly, bringing back a few blades of grass.

Here, have some of this.

"what is this?"

Although Huo Chang'an asked a question, he started eating before Sang Ning could answer.

"It's the grass stalk of the horned fruit."

The chewing motion stopped.

Give Jintang and the others fruit, but feed him grass?

Does he not deserve to eat fruit?

"Don't underestimate this blade of grass, it's very useful! I specially saved it for you."

specially……

The boy began to chew again.

I must say, this grass is very tender, fresh, and has a unique flavor.

"Is it even more useful than fruit?"

"Big! Of course it's big! I only brought back this much, so eat up."

After Sang Ning finished speaking, she observed that Huo Chang'an had finished eating with great relish.

She got it.

Is this what the Fourth Young Master Huo is like?

Isn't this just a child?

They even try to claim kinship with their nephews and nieces!

She'll know how to stroke her fur from now on.

"Can you take the stick off now? Your body is your capital for fighting, so you must cherish it. Don't be disobedient like Jintang."

Huo Chang'an didn't hesitate at all this time and untied the rope himself.

Sang Ning smiled and praised, "So well-behaved!"

Huo Chang'an: "..."

Something seems off.

Du Shan and Tian Kaiwu have already dealt with the two wolves, but their fur is still a mess, which is a pity.

The blood wasn't drained properly, and it had a strong fishy and foul smell. I doubt it would be palatable to eat it grilled like that.

"Hehe, Fourth Madam, there's not much water left, it's a bit difficult to handle, just make do with this."

Sang Ning glanced at Hu Si, who was lying there weakly.

Most of his left arm was gone. They used all the medicine and tied it tightly with cloth before they were able to stop the bleeding.

If there is no subsequent infection or fever, then you should be able to pull through.

If you don't handle it properly, you're doomed.

Wolf meat is considered to be "hot" in nature and is therefore considered a "trigger food".

Hu Si loves to eat meat.

"It's alright. I've heard that wolf blood strengthens the waist and bones, and nourishes the blood. It's good for you men, but we women and children should wash it again."

Sang Ning spoke casually, then squatted down to help with the task.

Hu Si stared at the wolf meat with a gloomy expression, a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

He wants to live.

I can't die here.

Believe it or not, Sang Ning, who has tasted all kinds of delicacies, has never cooked wolf meat before.

The main problem is that wild wolves are rarely seen in modern society, and they are also nationally protected animals; eating them is illegal.

But wolves belong to the canid family, which is similar to dogs.

She first selected the wolf tenderloin, sliced ​​it thinly, rinsed it with a little water to remove the blood, coated the iron pan with oil, and fried it for the child.

Besides Xie Yurou, who was taking care of the old lady, the Huo family all came to help.

They were naturally worried about leaving Sang Ning alone among the yamen runners.

Sang Ning felt a warmth in her heart.

In her past life, she lost her family at a young age and started making a living on her own at the age of twelve.

Although she made many like-minded friends later on, people came and went, and in the end, she was still alone.

How long can I get along with the Huo family?

Wolf meat slices cook quickly; while you can't even smell the large chunks of roasted meat in Dushan yet, the fried meat here is already cooked.

"It smells so good, Fourth Madam! How come yours is different from ours?"

Du Shan shamelessly grabbed a piece and ate it first.

The meat was perfectly thin, crispy and tender, much better than the rock-hard grilled meat he made!

Before I could pick up more, Sang Ning had already scooped it all into the bowl with a spoon, then sprinkled salt and a little fennel powder on top.

Handing it to Jintang: "Go eat with your sister!"

Du Shan: "..."

He scratched his head and smacked his lips.

Looking at the large piece of roasted meat in my hand, still bloody, it suddenly lost its appeal.

"Fourth Madam, how about this: you help me fry and roast all the meat, and I'll give you two bowls of cornmeal."
