HCB Chapter 345: Shit Luck
Chapter 345: Shit Luck
Emerald green sky, light green prosperity.
They did what they said. The next day, before dawn, Chu Nanyue took Leng Jiu and Sizhu up the mountain.
As the weather in Beixiao Kingdom was good and it was spring again, farmers were digging in the fields and planting crops, so the hilltop was quite quiet. It didn't take long for Chu Nanyue to find some common medicinal herbs such as bupleurum, nightshade, and dandelion.
Sizhu imitated her princess and carefully dug the medicinal herbs in the soil. Leng Jiu was also busy as he came to the mountain to hunt.
After accepting two hundred taels of silver from the Imperial Guards, you are not allowed to do any work with the silver.
"Princess, you are so capable. Otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do if we were alone." Sizhu said with envy.
If you don't become a householder, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
If it weren't for her princess and Xiaotao, they would really be helpless on this trip.
Chu Nanyue smiled and said, "Everyone has their own specialty. Let's go and wash the wild vegetables we dug in the pond. We will make dumplings for lunch."
Sizhu immediately said, "Princess, you are still in confinement, so I will just follow you!"
After saying that, she quickly carried the wild vegetables into the pond to wash them. Although she was not good at this, she was physically strong and could always wash them clean with some effort.
Chu Nanyue smiled warmly when she saw this. She didn't have to wash. Besides, she wasn't the kind of person who would put herself in a difficult position. It would be great to have someone to help her.
While Sizhu was cleaning the wild vegetables, she took a good look around. She thought she should walk further in. If she was lucky, she might be able to find ginseng.
Just as she lifted her skirt and took a step, she suddenly felt something under her feet. Then, she stumbled and fell to the ground. She was so angry that she cursed: "You are still thinking of digging ginseng? With such shitty luck, you are going to end up with a mouthful of shit. Bah, bah, bah..."
Her feet were in so much pain that she was spitting mud and reciting Chinese traditional poems at the same time.
Sizhu rushed over quickly, and immediately drew his sword and said, "Princess, be careful, it's a turtle."
Once this thing bites you, the fight will last until you die.
Chu Nanyue lowered her eyes and looked over. Sure enough, the old thing was baring its teeth and trying to bite her. Unfortunately, she was just about to eat it, so she curled her lips and smiled cunningly, "It won't be fresh if you kill it. Knock it out and take it back!"
Sizhu's mouth twitched, but she did it.
Although she had never knocked a turtle unconscious, it was the same as knocking a person. She hit the turtle hard on the head, and then saw the grinning turtle staggering like a drunk, and then it lost consciousness.
Chu Nanyue bent down and picked it up, weighed it in his hand, and it was about four or five pounds. It was indeed a big turtle.
"Although it's a little ugly, it's very nutritious and perfect for nourishing your health."
She really couldn't resonate with silk and bamboo. Although she knew that this thing was good and especially loved by dignitaries, she thought it was ugly.
And it's really ugly.
The kind that was so ugly that she couldn't bear to eat it.
So, she smiled politely but not awkwardly: "Well, it would be great to use it to nourish the prince."
"How much can he eat by himself? Good things should be shared. This journey has been difficult, especially since you have been sleeping in the open air. You need to replenish yourself. Let's eat together!"
Sizhu wanted to cry but had no tears: "!!!"
After washing the wild vegetables and putting the turtle in the basket, they continued walking into the mountains.
Along the way, they also dug up some wild potatoes, bean pods, yams, etc., filling up a whole basket. Chu Nanyue simply loved this place. This deep mountain and old forest was a natural treasure. All the free treasures were gathered in her arms. So, when she first came here, why didn't she think of finding a wild mountain?
Otherwise, she would have been a landlady living off the land.
If she wasn't a family member of a guilty person, she would have stayed here. There was no point in going to Yanzhou.
I heard that it just snowed in Yanzhou, so the mountains must be bare. Thinking of this, she let out a long breath.
She wants to be a land lady, not a white-haired girl!
Then the next second, she was beaming with joy again: "Oh, Sizhu, look, there are apples, so big and red, pick them quickly, pick them quickly!"
Sizhu looked up curiously. She had been groping all the way here, so why didn't she see it? She followed Chu Nanyue's gaze and saw an apple tree standing not far away, and it was full of fruits.
It's strange, why didn't she see it just now?
I couldn't help but look at her princess a few more times, wondering if she was the reincarnation of the land lady?
Since the basket they brought was full, the landlady sat under the tree and used branches to weave a basket that was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at. Sizhu flew to the tree to pick apples. Thinking that her princess loved to eat apples, she picked a lot, a whole basket.
After picking the apples, she alertly heard a rustling sound coming from the direction of the mountains. She was so scared that she immediately took up her sword to protect her princess.
Judging from the sound, it might be a huge monster. Although she is a martial arts expert, she is still a little afraid of the wild beasts in the mountains. You know, her princess is still by her side. If anything happens to her princess, her prince might have no hope of survival.
So, she immediately took Chu Nanyue and flew up the apple tree, only to hear Chu Nanyue exclaim: "Wild boar, it's actually a wild boar!"
There was a hint of surprise and excitement in her voice. After all, she was a modern person and it was her first time seeing a wild boar, so naturally her excitement overwhelmed her fear. But for Sizhu, it was an extremely dangerous signal.
Especially when she saw the wild boar suddenly rushing towards the apple tree, she was even more frightened and immediately shouted, "Princess, hold on to the branch tightly while I lead it away."
The wild boar's rough hair is like steel, so even the king of the forest does not dare to provoke it easily. So, how can their apple tree withstand its impact?
After she finished speaking, she flew over and slashed at it with her sword.
If she had not failed to protect her princess last time, her prince would not have lost everything. This time, she must protect her princess.
When the wild boar saw someone rushing towards it, it immediately let out a roar, instantly gave up attacking the apple tree, and instead opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Sizhu.
Chu Nanyue shouted, "Stab it above the center of its eyes!"
After she finished speaking, she picked up a big apple and attacked its weak spot. Maybe it was because of her Hercules Palm or the wild boar was in bad shape today, but after being hit by her apple firecrackers, the wild boar's eyes were actually sparkling.
Seeing the situation, Sizhu swung the sword in her hand, flew up, and accurately stabbed the wild boar's eyes in the spot where Chu Nanyue had already hit it, leaving a big bump.
A sword pierced the wild boar's head, and blood gushed out immediately. Then it fell to the ground with a "bang", and died miserably.
Chu Nanyue shouted "Yeah", and then she slid down from the tree by herself.
"We really made a fortune today. With this wild boar, we won't have to worry about food for the next few days."
Sizhu was still terrified: "Princess, let's leave quickly. Be careful of other beasts coming in."
It would be fine if they were alone, but if they attracted a pack of wolves, they would surely die.
Chu Nanyue said, "Generally, where there are ferocious beasts, there must be magical objects. Let's look carefully." After that, seeing Sizhu's worried look, he added in a deep voice, "Check it out and come back immediately!"
