Chapter 245 I wish I had it then
"There is a small puddle on the mountain. It should be left after the stream stopped flowing. You should still be able to find it if you follow the traces of the stream." After Huo Yunjing explained, he looked at her and said, "Shall I go look for it?"
Gu Qingyin sighed, "No, there's still water in the backpack. It's enough for now. Let's go look for it tomorrow."
Huo Yunjing silently carried two pheasants and followed her back.
On the road, everyone passing by stared at the two chickens with bright eyes. However, due to Huo Yunjing's tall and strong physique, they wanted to snatch them but did not have the courage. They could only watch them go further and further away.
Then, those who heard the conversation between the two turned their gaze back towards the mountain forest.
They have lived at the foot of Ailao Mountain for generations. They know the legend of Ailao Mountain very well and are therefore full of awe. Even at this moment, they still did not dare to cross the invisible barrier and go up the mountain to find food.
Wait a little longer, wait a little longer...
As for how long it will take, only they themselves know.
Back at the place where he was temporarily staying, Huo Xingchen had already woken up. He was still lying in his sleeping bag with little energy. But when he saw Gu Qingyin coming back, his eyes brightened a little and he called "Mom". The look is particularly distressing.
Gu Qingyin went over to pick up the child and put it on her forehead to test the body temperature. She felt a little hot. She frowned and pulled the backpack next to her, took out a box of antipyretic patches, tore one piece off and put it on Huo Xingchen. .
Huo Xingchen shrank his neck from the ice and glanced up, feeling a little unbelievable, "Mom, what did you bring in your bag?"
Gu Qingyin continued to read, "Of course it is a must-have when going out."
Huo Xingchen was at a loss. Is it necessary to have antipyretic patches when going out?
"Found it." Gu Qingyin took out a pack of cold medicine, "Just wait, I'll make some medicine for you." When you are injured, your resistance will decrease. This place is dirty and messy, with a lot of viruses and bacteria. Taking medicine won't do.
Zhang Qiuyan, who was standing next to him, saw this and said quickly: "I'll charge, and you can accompany Xingchen."
Gu Qingyin was not polite, smiled and nodded, "Thank you."
Zhang Qiuyan went out with a bottle of mineral water and cold medicine, and after a while he came back with a porcelain bowl, "Drink it while it's hot."
As soon as the bowl was brought over, the strong smell of Chinese medicine rushed into his nose. Huo Xingchen's brows suddenly furrowed, but he still took the bowl obediently and drank half of the medicine in one go while holding his breath.
After finishing the drink, he took a breath, and the smell of Chinese medicine spread along his mouth. It was so irritating that he couldn't help but retch.
Gu Qingyin was startled and quickly patted his chest to calm him down.
Zhang Qiuyan also handed over the remaining water and said, "Rinse your mouth."
Huo Xingchen slapped his face and took a sip of water. He felt that the taste in his mouth was much lighter, but it still lingered, as if the taste had soaked in within a few seconds.
At this time, Gu Ziqian walked over and handed Huo Xingchen a lemon candy, "Hold it."
Huo Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and ate it. The fragrant lemon flavor instantly overwhelmed the smell of Chinese medicine, and his little face finally relaxed.
Gu Qingyin looked at the candy and felt it looked very familiar. She couldn't help but glance at Gu Ziqian in confusion.
Gu Ziqian looked at her as if feeling something, and suddenly smiled, "Yes, it's the kind you often eat before."
Gu Qingyin blinked, "Isn't this candy stored in your storage bag for decades?"
Huo Xingchen stiffened and suddenly felt that the candy in his mouth was no longer sweet and had a strange taste.
Gu Ziqian comforted him: "Don't worry, sugar has a long shelf life and won't go bad." Huo Xingchen's face turned green, and Gu Qingyin was speechless. She looked around for a tissue, hoping that her son would spit out the sugar and put something in it. It can still be eaten for decades, but it will become an antique!
At this time, Gu Ziqian laughed out loud, "How could it be possible to tease you for so long?"
The mother and son were stunned at the same time, and then showed helpless expressions, thinking how could such an old person be so naughty.
Seeing Huo Xingchen relax in Gu Qingyin's arms again, Gu Ziqian didn't say that although the candy was only a few decades old, it was still a few years old. He bought it from a convenience store when he went down the mountain last time.
Well, it is indeed many years old, but it should not be broken. You can eat sugar before it melts.
It didn't take long for Huo Yunjing to prepare the rice. One pheasant was stewed in soup and the other was roasted. Fortunately, they prepared a lot of seasonings before coming out, otherwise they wouldn't know how to make this dish.
As for the staple food... Dongfang Lingjun also had a few steamed buns, which were prepared by Qiu's housekeeper before leaving, and they came in handy now.
The rice bowls are found in the kitchen and can be used immediately after washing. The chopsticks are freshly cut from bamboo. You can still smell the fragrance of bamboo when picking up vegetables, which is quite special.
Huo Xingchen drank two bowls of soup, ate some roast chicken, and half a steamed bun before going back to rest.
Gu Qingyin tested his body temperature again and felt it had dropped slightly, which made him feel relieved.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When I came out of the house again, I looked up and saw several little heads poking out from the edge of the low wall. They were all children who came looking for them after smelling the fragrance. They didn't even realize that they had been seen. They only had food in their eyes, staring blankly. My mouth is watering.
Gu Qingyin sighed secretly, sat back and continued to eat. After finishing the steamed buns that her son had just left, and finishing the soup in the bowl, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and said loudly: "I'm so tired. I'm going to take a nap first." Leave the chopsticks for now, I’ll come out to wash them later.”
Hearing this, Zhang Qiuyan also speeded up his eating speed and followed Gu Qingyin back into the house.
The remaining three men looked at each other, ate everything in their bowls, and then left the table one after another.
Dongfang Lingjun was a little reluctant to part with him. He was an old kid. He couldn't control his mouth as he got older. He always wanted to eat something good. Before leaving, he hesitated for a while, but he broke off the drumsticks of the roast chicken and took them away. .
I have to admit that the master of the Huo family is amazing at cooking and there is simply not enough to eat.
The courtyard became quiet, but not long after, there was a rustling movement from the other side of the courtyard wall, and then with a "bang", a child fell from the wall.
Zhang Qiuyan, who was lying by the window to observe, couldn't help but say "ouch", and the frightened child froze before he could get up.
After waiting for a while and finding that no one came out, he relaxed and started to move cautiously. He didn't dare to stand up straight, so he lay on the ground and crawled forward. He reached the edge of the table and raised his hands to grope carefully.
But his hands were too short, and he couldn't touch the roasted chicken for a long time, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead in a hurry.
Gu Ziqian sighed softly, hooked his fingers lightly, and the roast chicken on the table suddenly moved towards the child's hand.
The doubtful expression on the child's face flashed across his face, he grabbed the roast chicken and began to retreat.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing put down their hands at the same time.
After the child escaped over the wall with the help of his companions, voices finally came from the house.
"It would have been nice if someone could have given them food at that time."
Outside the illusion, the Ghost King remained silent for a long time.
