Chapter 1189 Famine and Natural Disaster 349

at last.

The long knife in Zhou Ting's hand fell, marking the end of this battle that frightened the guards.

There was a thick long knife stuck in the seven inches of the python. Zhou Ting's hands were empty, but he couldn't avoid it and nimbly avoided the blood splattering from the seven inches of the python.

"Master, are you not injured?"

Guard Yu and Guard Li chased after Zhou Ting and stood beside him, feeling frightened but not forgetting to worry about their master.

Zhou Ting shook his head, "Take it with you and go back first."

"Master?" How dare the guards take people away? Their duty is to protect the two masters.

"Can we take eight people back?" He asked calmly, not bothering to argue.

The guard Yu was uneasy, and the anxiety came to his mind again, "Sir, six people are enough. I would like to ask, won't you and Mr. Cheng come back?"

Zhou Ting glanced at him and walked in the direction of Cheng Mingyi without saying a word; telling him with actions that whether he could go back or not depended on Mingyi's thought.

Guard Li's eyes were full of helplessness, "Brother Yu, I will take someone to send the python back. You can follow me and Mr. Cheng."

"Okay." Guard Yu was really worried about his two masters, so he agreed immediately as he had someone to share his worries.

Guard Li told him, called five guards and lifted the python together and left. Six people divided the python into six sections, but it was still difficult.

It shows how heavy it is!

Zhou Ting walked to the tree where Mingyi was and waved to Mingyi, "Come down, let's continue into the mountain. It's been a long time before we come out to play. We have to have fun."

Mingyi chuckled and got down from the tree, landing lightly in front of Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting stretched out his hand to straighten her slightly loose bun. The bun would be affected a little bit when she lifted it up or down.

"Sir, Mr. Cheng, my subordinates are going back first. You two should be careful in the mountains." Guard Li stopped when he passed by Mingyi and Zhou Ting. His hands were not convenient for him to salute, but his posture was very respectful.

Mingyi quickly backed away, not wanting to get into close contact with the big python.

Seeing this, Zhou Ting protected the people behind him and gestured for them to leave quickly.

The guards all laughed secretly. After all, Guard Li took the people away quickly and was not here to hinder Mingyi's eyes.

"Don't be afraid. If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it." Zhou Ting turned around and reassured, "There are many people in the camp who love this bite. They will be happy."

She really couldn't eat snakes. "You can stew them for as long as you like. Don't roast them."

"Why?" Zhou Ting was puzzled, "Snake meat tastes delicious when roasted. If you haven't eaten it, you don't know. They will definitely roast part of it to eat. Such a big one, with thousands of kilograms of meat, can be eaten by the entire military camp."

Mingyi was speechless and choked, and she rarely knew what to say. She couldn't tell people of this era about bacteria issues, right? Even if it's popularized, people won't understand it. She's so young, so people will think she's talking nonsense, right?

"Snakes grow in dark places and are so dirty. Who knows if they will be clean if roasted and eaten."

Zhou Ting understood, "I have never heard of a snake being unclean in so many years. Besides, I know how to skin it before doing it. It will be fine."

At this point, Mingyi consciously shut up and stopped saying what she shouldn't have said.

Guard Yu led the remaining seven people forward, "Master, Mr. Cheng, continue walking?"

"Keep going into the mountains!" Zhou Ting took the opportunity to squeeze the little hands of the people around him, and he was thick-skinned, proactive, and not afraid of rejection for his own benefit.

It's one thing that he doesn't want to go against Mingyi's wishes, but if you can shamelessly climb up the pole and get some benefits, why not do it.

"Here." Guard Yu waved his hand, "Enter the mountain."

Zhou Ting led Mingyi and passed them first, heading towards the path on the left. Guard Yu and the guards consciously surrounded them. Although it was not obvious, if you look closely, you can see their subconscious guarding posture.

The hare that was shot earlier was not taken away, but was carried in the hand of the accompanying guard.

Mingyi had a bow and arrow, and she hunted several pheasants and rabbits one after another. However, she never encountered any large animals. After hunting a few of them, she lost interest and gave the bow and arrow to Zhou Ting.

Zhou Ting smiled indulgently, his eyes were good when hunting, his hands were steady and strong, and he was skillful in setting arrows and drawing the bow. In just half an hour, the guards more or less had something to gain.

It was relaxing in the mountains, not as complicated as the military camp. Zhou Ting was able to relax and relive the trip to the mountains again with Mingyi. He was very happy to kill two birds with one stone. With his strong internal strength and good kung fu, he went deeper and deeper, and even turned over the mountain. Passed two mountains.

Seeing that it was impossible to go any further, Guard Yu warned, "Sir, we have reached the heart of the mountains. If we continue forward, we may encounter many large beasts."

"." Disappointment.

Zhou Ting looked at him coldly.

Mingyi chuckled, "I have harvested enough today. I just took a look around; I saw that there seemed to be a lot of medicinal materials in front of me. Although they are not expensive, they can be used in the military."

Zhou Ting's aura calmed down, and the guard Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then heard his master's voice.

"Look for herbs. If you don't know how to pick them, please ask me to teach you." After Zhou Ting finished speaking, Guard Yu and others quickly put down their prey and ran to pull out the herbs they knew.

They hang out with their masters all year round. They go out a lot, and over time they get to know a few kinds of herbs. Most of them are used to stop bleeding and reduce swelling. Picking these herbs when they are inconvenient can treat injuries in time.

Mingyi was not idle and took Zhou Ting with her to collect herbs.

"There are actually thirty-seven."

The two of them stayed away from the eight-man guard and walked to a place that had never been visited before. There were many kinds of herbs, some in huge quantities and some in rare quantities.

After all, the environment is such that it is not a specially cultivated herb. How it grows depends entirely on nature.

"Not only are there Panax notoginseng, there are also some Bupleurum next to it. There are plantains, dandelions, weeds, cockleburs, horsehead orchids, angelica and parsnips."

There are too many varieties, and some leaves are already withered and yellow.

"These herbs are of great use in the army, pick them all back." Mingyi said and started to move his hands.

Zhou Ting chuckled helplessly, and could only follow behind her to pick whatever she picked; he mainly wanted to be a woman who sings about her husband, and she didn't have a title yet, so he settled the matter first.

Guard Yu and others looked up at them, always paying attention to where the masters were. Just seeing this scene, they quickly lowered their heads and pulled out the familiar herbs, and found several large bundles one after another. Unfortunately, they went up the mountain without carrying either a backpack or a sack. Otherwise, it would be great to take all these herbs back to process and dry them for later use!

"What a pity." Mingyi stood up regretfully.

Zhou Ting saw the meaning in her eyes and said: "When we go down the mountain, let Guard Yu and the others take people up the mountain to pick."

"That's fine, it's just that the mountains are dangerous." Ordinary soldiers may not be able to protect themselves in the mountains.

"It doesn't matter, you have to experience it. When they come again, there won't be any problems if there are more people."

There is strength in numbers, and even large beasts will become frightened when they see so many people and will not dare to step forward without permission.

Mingyi nodded with a smile and took him to find a few more bundles before going down the mountain.

It was already past noon when we arrived at the foot of the mountain, and we actually saw Li Weiwei and others; I don't know how long they had been waiting here, and even though they were standing in the shade of a tree, they couldn't avoid getting red in the face.
