I haven't seen it for many days, but I didn't expect that there have been some changes here. The few wooden houses that used to be isolated have been built with a high courtyard wall outside, making it look like a landlord's compound.
However, how could Xiao Han care about this now? Before he could ask any questions, a small mountain-like object rushed over from the road.
"Master Hou, you are finally back..."
"I'm back, I'm back..."
Xiao Han tried hard to pull his hand out of the fat cook's hand. Seeing how eager he was to try, he was afraid that if he hugged him again, he would be hugged to death if he was not bitten to death by the one-horned rhinoceros!
"I'm really tired from being in the mountains these days. I want to take a rest first." Xiao Han looked around and talked to him.
"Yes! Yes!" When the fat cook heard this, he nodded immediately! Then he was busy instructing his apprentice to prepare toiletries.
Under the attentive service of the fat cook, Xiao Han quickly took a shower and changed clothes. He didn't have time to dry his hair, so he got into bed and snored loudly.
In the forest, animals are roaring and insects are chirping. Even if there are people keeping watch outside, you still can't sleep well. How can you feel safe here at home?
On the other side, the fat cook came back from Xiao Han and never closed his mouth!
After waiting for the Marquis to go to bed, I saw that his hair was wet, and I was worried that he would catch a cold in his sleep, so I quickly took a towel to dry it bit by bit.
As for the two people sleeping in the outer room, it's more miserable. Just throw a quilt over and let these two people snatch it in their sleep!
Who told these two not to bring Mr. Marquis back early? They have been unable to eat and sleep at night for the past few days!
There are many more people here in the paddy field than before. In addition to the workers, there are also some hunters who are familiar with the Qinling Mountains.
They were all hired to look for Xiao Han. Some of them had already entered the Qinling Mountains, and the rest had returned or rested, or had just arrived.
But now, Xiao Han has returned safely, and they have no choice but to leave. The bounty cannot be earned.
The news of Xiao Han's return spread quickly as the hunters withdrew. Zhang Bao and Yuan Dake in Hanzhong were the closest. When they heard the news, they immediately put down what they were doing and hurried over before noon.
They rode together under the crooked neck willow tree and handed the reins to the people who greeted them. Zhang Bao and Yuan Dake hurried to Xiao Han's residence.
When I got to the door, before I could knock on the door, the door opened by itself.
The fat cook came out of the room carrying a few towels. When he saw Yuan Dake and the two of them, he quickly bowed his hands and saluted.
Zhang Bao wanted to enter the house, but the fat chef was too big! The door was blocked tightly, so he could only stretch his head and peek through the crack, and said anxiously: "No need to be polite! Where is Xiao Hou?"
How good is Dr. Sun?"
The fat cook blocked the door, turned to look inside the room, and then replied in a low voice: "In return, Xiao Hou is fine. He was just overworked and has fallen asleep now. As for Divine Doctor Sun, it is said that he is still processing medicinal materials in Qinling Mountains and should be there soon.
Return."
Hearing that Xiao Han was fine, Yuan Dake was relieved, stroking his goatee and nodding: "Oh, since Xiao Hou is sleeping peacefully, we won't disturb him! It's not convenient here, let's go outside to talk."
The fat cook knew that the two of them had to ask carefully before they would feel at ease. He nodded, closed the door, and followed the two of them outside.
When they arrived outside the courtyard wall, they made sure that their words would not disturb Xiao Han. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and their speech returned to normal.
Without them having to ask any more questions, the fat cook told them exactly what Xiao Han had said while taking a shower. Yuan Dake and Zhang Bao were both happy and worried at the same time.
"Hey, for such dangerous things in the future, don't go there in person, Lord Labor! This Qinling Mountains has lost many hunting masters. It's really not a good place! It's not worth it for just a few medicinal materials!"
After listening to what the fat chef said, Zhang Bao couldn't help but sigh in fear.
Although what the fat cook said was incomplete, the danger in it still chilled his bones. Not to mention that at the end, the fat cook even brought out a snakeskin bag that was more than enough for both of them, and was met by the Marquis.
testify to the dangers.
"Don't let him go?" The fat cook smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Marquis of his family was very lively, and he would be out of control whenever he thought of it. Is there anyone here who can take care of him and listen to him?
However, these words cannot be spoken to outsiders, as they are taboo for the sake of respect! The fat cook could only answer thoughtfully: "Actually, we think so too, but it is said that the Marquis went up to the mountain not for the few herbs, but for the few herbs.
Work with Doctor Sun to study a miracle medicine for wounds. If successful, it will greatly shorten the wound healing speed and reduce infection, so that it can be easily deployed in the military in the future."
"Oh? There is such a thing here?" Yuan Dake and Zhang Bao were startled, and then they suddenly realized!
They were originally wondering why Xiao Han suddenly went up the mountain. Now that they had this explanation, they immediately answered the question perfectly.
Looking at the place where Xiao Han slept, the two of them were filled with excitement! For the Tang Dynasty and the army of the Tang Dynasty! The Marquis did not hesitate to risk his own life and went into the Longtan Tiger's Den to search for medicine with Dr. Sun. Such a fearless spirit made him worthy of being the pillar of the country!
Looking at the excited two people, the fat cook on the side suddenly felt guilty. If they knew that the Marquis went to Qinling just for fun, I wonder if they would vomit three liters of blood!
The two came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
After receiving the reply that the medicinal materials had been found, Yuan Dake was already eager to repay Xiao Han's credit.
This is the first batch of people!
Next, all the officials from the counties and towns where the seeds were distributed came to visit Xiao Han.
Xiao Han himself didn't know how many people had come outside while he was sleeping. Not to mention other things, all kinds of supplements and fresh food were piled up in a corner.
When I woke up, it was dark...
Sitting up from the bed and stretching, Xiao Han opened his eyes in confusion.
"I'm hungry! I'm starving to death!" Xiao Han shouted feebly while touching his empty stomach.
"I'm coming!"
With a sound of surprise, the door curtain of the room was opened, and the fat cook carried a large porcelain bowl and squeezed sideways into the back room.
Putting the porcelain bowl on the bedside, the fat cook reached out and lit the candle on the table, and then said to Xiao Han: "Master Marquis, are you awake? You must be hungry! Try it quickly, this is a century-old gift from Jishui County
Old turtle! I just stewed it, it’s perfect for replenishing energy.”
After sleeping all day, Xiao Han was really hungry. Hearing what the fat cook said, he was not polite, so he ate and drank a lot while holding a porcelain bowl.
The tortoise soup was indeed delicious, and half of the soup bowl, which was as big as a head, was gone in a blink of an eye.
He stretched out his hand and pinched a few yellow eggs and threw them into his mouth. They were as crunchy as salted duck egg yolks.
"Well, it tastes good! Has Daochang Sun come back?"
While Xiao Han was eating, he asked the fat cook with a charming smile on his face.
The fat cook smiled like a flower, stretched out his hand to help Xiao Han remove the broken bones, and then replied: "I just came back, and I gave him a portion of this soup! Mr. Hou, please eat slowly, the meat is still steaming in the pot."
After all, it's better to be at home. Everything at home is done so smoothly!
Xiao Han drank the last sip of the soup with satisfaction, wiped his mouth and said, "Forget about the meat, I have only eaten meat these days! Get some vegetables to try tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go to the vegetable garden tomorrow to pull it!"
The fat cook nodded heavily, but there was no vegetable garden here at all. He wanted to plant it? Whose garden did he want to plant?
