Chapter 8

1964 Words
Mu Chun picked up some leaves and branches from the surroundings to cover his body. It was most likely that he had been chased by his enemy. Moreover, the wounds on his body had a tendency of scabbing. He should have stayed here for more than a day. Since those people had not found this place yet, there shouldn' t be anything wrong. She needed to find some water to help him clean his wound and then bandage it. "You' d better protect me if I can find the hot spring. That way, your life will be saved." Mu Chun glanced at the unconscious man. His face was dirty. However, one could tell that his face was angular. The hot spring shouldn't have appeared on the top of the mountain. She started walking horizontally. There seemed to be a cave in front of her. Even if she could n' t find the hot spring, it would be better to place people in the cave than outside. The side of the mountain was slightly steep. She held the tree branch to support her body and slowly moved forward. From time to time, she could hear the cries of wolves. Mu Chun sped up. As she got closer and closer to the cave, she saw that the side of the cave seemed to be emitting heat. It wouldn' t...... Mu Chun didn't care about the steep slope anymore and ran towards the mountain cave. It was a hot spring. On one side of the cave, she hurriedly squatted down and looked into the cave. There were no wolves, tigers and leopards living here, and the temperature inside was higher than outside. This man was truly too lucky. She quickly put down her basket and ran in the direction of the man. After crossing through, she didn't even ask whether he was an enemy or a friend. She really deserved to be killed by the person she saved. She did n' t have any memory at all. Mu Chun jogged while muttering to himself, wishing that this person was not a bad person. It didn' t matter if he died. What about his mother and younger brother and sister? Not long after, she arrived at the man's side. She quickly moved the tree branches away, but looking at the tall and horse-like appearance of the other person, it was really difficult to carry him to the cave. "It's your life." Mu Chun gritted her teeth and used all the strength in her body to make him stand up and lean against her side. She held the man's waist with one hand and supported the tree trunk with her right hand. By the time she put him into the cave, Mu Chun had already collapsed to the ground. However, it was getting late. She needed to help this man clear the mountain as soon as possible. The spring wasn' t big, but it was hot. She first reached out to test the water temperature, then found a few larger leaves and took some spring water to send them into the cave. She first fed him some water, then began to clean the wound. The injuries on his body were all skin injuries that didn' t hurt his vital parts. After a little cleaning, he chewed some hemostatic herbs and applied them to the wound. The wound behind his head was large and he lost too much blood. Mu Chun didn' t know if he could save this man. After cleaning, he placed some leaves behind his head to prevent dust from falling into the wound. Finally, he took some spring water to clean his face. He was handsome and strong. He didn't know how stunning this man would be when he opened his eyes. His Mu Chun heart was like a little deer. She stared at him blankly for a while, and the wolf's cry woke her up. "I don' t know if there will be wolves coming. I' ll put some branches at the entrance of the mountain to block it. You can only leave it to fate." She could not take such a man with her strength. Mu Chun placed a lot of wild persimmon in the cave and blocked all the branches he had picked up." I' ll come see you tomorrow." She stood at the entrance of the cave and said this silently. She picked up the basket and hurried down the mountain. When she arrived home, the sun had just set, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her body like a wedding dress. "Big sister, you are truly too beautiful." Standing at the door, the Xiachen waiting for her said. Mu Chun naturally didn' t know why Xiachen said that. Such a skinny little girl wouldn' t look good at anything. She only thought that her younger brother didn' t think too much about her older sister's childhood love. "Big sister, why did you dig so much grass in your basket?" Xiachen looked at the grass that he had never seen in the basket he put down." Can you eat these?" Mu Chun took out one of them and placed it under his nose." What does it smell like?" "It's a bit bitter." Xiachen frowned. Other than the bitterness, there was nothing special about it. However, when he thought of the thing called Wild Jiang that Mu Chun brought over last time, he could remove the fishy smell from the boiled fish soup. This must have some miraculous effect he did not know about. Mu Chun put down the herbs." These are all herbs. I' ll take you to pick them in a few days." She spoke without hesitation. "Alright." Xiachen nodded happily and took the basket to the room. Ever since his eldest sister woke up, she seemed to have changed. However, he would choose to trust his eldest sister without any reason, so he did not ask anything else. Mu Chun cleaned herself up and walked straight into the kitchen. Today's dinner was really difficult for her. It was difficult for a woman to cook without rice. Although there were quite a few fish in the family, it would be boring to eat fish every day, right? She looked at the few ingredients in front of her and frowned. "Why don' t you let mother cook?" Wang walked over to Mu Chun side and looked at her face that was so wrinkled that it was no longer in shape. "Mother, quickly go rest. I' ll cook dinner." Mu Chun reached out his hand and took out a slightly smaller fish from the bucket. A few days ago, he had stewed the soup and cooked the braised fish this time. It was enough to cook a few wild vegetables and make some batter. This time, Wang was helping her burn the fire and Mu Chun her smooth noodles. While Wang was not paying attention, she added some oil to the noodles. Otherwise, she would have felt distressed after seeing it. However, the cake that was baked like this was even more fragrant. When the pot was filled with oil, Wang wanted to say something but still didn' t shut his mouth. Perhaps the children had not eaten oil for a long time, so there was no harm in putting more. After the cakes were cooked, the fragrance filled the entire room. Xiachen and Xiaoxia were drooling at the kitchen entrance, their eyes shining as they looked at the kitchen table. ###Chapter12 "Two little gluttonous cats..." Mu Chun first took out a piece of cake and handed it to Xiachen." Go to the house and share it with Xiaoxia. The rest will be fine." The two children were also thin and weak, unlike children of this age. Mu Chun also felt more distressed for them. Although Wang did not stop him, he still said a few more words," It won' t be a problem to be hungry for a while." "It's fine. In the future, I' ll definitely let you all eat bread every day. There's no need to bother about such things." After Mu Chun said that, he put the remaining little bit of red sugar into the oil pan. The sugar quickly melted into the foam and put it into the fish and ginger slices that had been changed into the flower knife. After frying the two sides, formed, some water was added, and the lid was closed to start stewing. Wang had never seen such a method of making fish, and he was extremely surprised. "Is this delicious?" "The fish meat is more delicious than the fish soup from before. Mother, please change to Little Fire." The pot had already started to gurgle and gurgle. Mu Chun opened the lid, took the chopsticks and inserted them into the fish's body. In a short while, it would be ready to leave the pot. She took out a salt jar and sprinkled salt on the fish." Mother, change the fire now." The final step was completed. The salt in the house was also at its bottom. Because the fish was not preserved, the taste of the fish might still be a bit faint. After washing the pot, he cooked some dough and finished dinner. Mu Chun hurriedly helped the Wang who had been squatting on the ground up." Mother, go sit in the room. I' ll bring these over." Wang didn't bother with this anymore and nodded and agreed to return to the room. "Today is Wild Vegetable Cake, Braised Fish and Noodles." Mu Chun brought the food up one by one to explain to his younger brother and sister," The wonderful use of this wild vegetable cake is that it is delicious and it can save some white noodles. However, big sister is just trying to taste it." Eating alone was a bit boring. "Mother, Xiachen, Xiaoxia start eating. I' ll go sell fish in town tomorrow and buy some more." He probably saved seven or eight fish, and he didn't know what the price was, but he should be able to earn a few tens of dollars. When she slept Mu Chun night, she thought back to her previous life. The fighting and killing of the secret agents had never made her feel at ease. Now, she was more and more fond of the current days. It was a bit bitter, but she could make money. The days in the future would definitely be better than now. Early in the morning Mu Chun he put all the fish in the only jar in the house and added some water. The price of the living fish should be higher. There were some herbs that had been picked in the basket. The wild vegetables Xiachen picked yesterday were placed on the top floor to cover it. She knew that every morning the Uncle Li cart was waiting at the entrance of the village for the people to go to town. In the afternoon, she would bring them back together. By the time Mu Chun reached the village entrance, there were already five or six people waiting. "Dachun, what is in your jar?" Zhou Yezi curiously looked at Mu Chun," Is it pickled pickled vegetables?" Her words attracted ridicule from the surrounding people. Mu Chun originally wanted to nod, but thinking about not being weak anymore, he directly shook his head." I caught some fish in the river a few days ago and wanted to sell them in town." There were not many people in the village who ate this food. The people in the town should like to eat fish. "Oh, what do I think is a good treasure to sell? Just these wild vegetables and fish. You think that the people in that town are all great philanthropists!" Old Madam Zhang twisted her waist and pulled her little daughter Mu Xue. She used her sleeve to wipe the carriage and let her sit on it. She chose a random place to sit.
