After bringing the water celery on the table, other than Yang Dingchu, no one else dared to put down their chopsticks.
Seeing his youngest son eating, Yang Wenyi was not afraid of being poisoned. He picked up a chopstick and put it into his mouth to eat.
He didn't know why the little daughter-in-law was looking for grass that no one had ever tried before to feed them, but he believed that the little daughter-in-law didn't need to harm them.
Seeing that his father and brother were both eating, Yang Chonghuan asked hesitantly, "Can this grass be eaten?"
Yang Dingchu quickly drank a mouthful of sweet potato porridge, "This thing is called water parsley, there is a record of it in medical techniques, it has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying the poison."
Hearing Yang Dingchu's words, Yang Chonghuan dared to put it into his mouth.
"Hmm, actually, the taste is quite good."
After saying that, he picked up another chopstick and started eating.
Bai Xiao laughed and said: "The taste isn't bad, right? But it can't eat too much. It's cold, so it's not good to eat too much in winter. However, Qing'er has to eat more, to treat colds. "
"Really? "Then I'll eat more." Qing'er took a deep breath and used all her strength to poke the chopsticks into her bowl.
"Don't eat too much. A few days ago, aunty was busy and I was free today. In a while, I'll go to the mountain and find you some herbs to treat your cold. I guarantee that you will recover after you eat it."
"Great, the cold is too bad, my nose won't listen to you, and my mucus will come out again soon. I can't even use my handkerchief anymore."
Qing'er's words made everyone laugh, and the breakfast passed just like that.
Previously, Yang Family never talked during meals, but now, he had Bai Xiao who could not control his mouth, and there were even more laughs at the table.
After breakfast, Bai Xiao carried her basket and prepared to go for a stroll on the mountain. However, she was pulled back by Yang Dingchu.
"Wait a moment, I'll go with you."
Bai Xiao was very unwilling, she had even thought of going to the inner circle. With Yang Dingchu there, she was sure that he would not bring her to the inner circle.
Yang Dingchu carried the bow that he normally used to hunt, and in his hand he held a bag.
He put the bag into the basket, carried the basket on his back, and walked out.
Bai Xiao was helpless and could only follow behind.
"Brother Chu, can we go to the inner circle?"
"No."
The incident with the wild boar left him with lingering fear. He didn't dare to let her go into the inner circle.
"Brother Chu, just let me go. Do you know how difficult it is for a doctor to not be able to gather medicinal herbs?"
"Tell me, do you want me to die so that you can look for Bai Fengya?"
Yang Dingchu looked at Bai Xiao speechlessly.
This little girl actually found such an excuse in order to go to the inner circle.
He slapped Bai Xiao's forehead a few times, "Don't let me hear you say such words again in the future, otherwise I will punish you."
"Humph!" Bai Xiao turned her head around proudly.
Yang Dingchu turned Bai Xiao's head and fiercely kissed her on her lips.
Bai Xiao felt pain and wanted to push Yang Dingchu away, but he was too weak.
Only after she had received enough punishment did Yang Dingchu let her go.
"Do you know your wrongs?"
Bai Xiao pouted, aggrieved, "Who told you not to bring me to the inner circle?"
Seeing Bai Xiao's wronged look, Yang Dingchu's heart ached again. He sighed helplessly, "Can't I bring you there?"
"Really?" Instead of that wronged look from before, he excitedly pulled Yang Dingchu's hand.
"Really, but you have to stay by my side. Can't you stay too far away from me?"
"Alright, I promise I won't be too far away from you."
Yang Dingchu shook his head, it seems that he really fell into her hands.
The two of them followed the road and entered the inner circle.
Last time, she only picked a few front beards, but wasn't able to completely cure Qing'er's cold. This time, she also found some medicine to cure it, and planned to cure Qing'er's cold.
In ancient times, when medicine was lacking, many people would die because of a small cold.
"Brother Chu, come take a look. There are a lot of mushrooms here."
Bai Xiao swept away a patch of grass, which was filled with edible mushrooms.
Yang Dingchu took out a bag from the basket and the two picked up the mushroom from the bag.
"When we go back later, we'll see if there are any wild chickens. Hit one and go back. We'll have chicken stewed with mushrooms tonight."
This was one of the famous dishes in Northeast China. When she was in university, her roommate was from Northeast China.
"Sure, as long as you like it."
Bai Xiao looked at Yang Dingchu, and shyly lowered his head.
This person really couldn't forget to tease her no matter where he went.
The two of them wasted some time before they finished picking up the mushrooms. The bags they brought were as long as a person and were half filled.
Yang Dingchu put the bag on his waist and carried the basket on his back.
Bai Xiao continued to collect the medicine the whole way.
The deeper they went, the greener the grass and trees and the warmer the temperature.
Bai Xiao asked curiously: "It's warm here in the winter, won't it be very hot in the summer?"
"No, the temperature inside the Yunshen Mountain has not changed much. The deeper we go, the closer the temperature is to spring."
"Isn't it the spring season of the year? How beautiful is that place?"
The flowers bloom all year round, high mountains and flowing water, the scenery is pleasant.
"I really want to go and take a look." Bai Xiao looked forward to it.
"That place is at the center of the Yunshen Mountain. There are many ferocious beasts there."
Yang Dingchu frowned, afraid that Bai Xiao would ask him to bring her there.
"Brother Chu, have you been there before?"
"Yes."
Bai Xiao looked at him anxiously. She did not say a word and only looked at him.
"Don't push yourself too far. Agreeing to bring you to the inner circle is already the minimum requirement. You can't enter any further."
"Fine."
Bai Xiao, who had unwillingly agreed, was actually thinking about how good Yang Dingchu's martial arts were.
Although she had not gone deep into the Yunshen Mountain and had seen the reverence the villagers had for the Yunshen Mountain, she knew that this mountain had left behind some sort of indelible memory for the villagers.
Yet, Yang Dingchu was able to enter the depths of the Yunshen Mountain, which made people's faces change color.
"Brother Chu, can you teach me martial arts?"
She knew the 24 forms of Taiji Fist and the military boxing techniques she had learned in the military training. She knew the moves, but had never used them to fight against others.
"Depends on your performance today."
With the lesson earlier, Yang Dingchu decided not to reject it on the spot and went back the way he came from.
"I will definitely perform well today."
Yang Dingchu smiled and looked at Bai Xiao lovingly.
Along the way, Bai Xiao dug up quite a few medicinal herbs. Yang Dingchu accompanied him throughout the journey without hunting any prey.
All of a sudden, the sky, which was initially sunny, changed color. Dark clouds gathered above his head.
"Let's go, it's going to rain soon. Let's find a place to shelter from the rain."
Bai Xiao could no longer be bothered with the herbs, she carried her skirt along with Yang Dingchu and went to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Before he could find a shelter from the rain, the rain began to fall.
"Yunshen Mountain is indeed different. There's actually a shower of rain in the middle of winter." Bai Xiao complained.
"There's a cave ahead. Let's go in and avoid the rain."
The two of them entered the cave. Yang Dingchu put down the things, lit up a fire piston. He looked around, found some dried wood, and started a fire.
"Take off your clothes and roast it. Don't catch a cold."
Bai Xiao was not shy about it, what was there to be shy about in front of her man, she did not take it all off.
Yang Dingchu roasted the clothes Bai Xiao had taken off of on a stick.
The firelight illuminated the cave. Bai Xiao looked around the entire cave.
The ceiling of the cave was about five to six meters high, and the cave was as big as a basketball court. At the right side of the entrance, there was a hole that was about a meter wide and as tall as a person.
