The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 9
When Leng Ping saw the so-called uncle coming again, she opened her mouth and said that she was a ghost, and immediately stood up, holding a kitchen knife and yelling at Leng Batian: "You are a ghost, your whole family is a ghost , if you keep talking nonsense here, I will chop you up!"

Leng Batian instinctively took two steps back, but he was afraid of being laughed at, so he pointed at Leng Ping and said loudly: "You evil bastard, where did you come from? Go back to where you came from, how dare you act wild in front of me!"

When the people in Taiping Village heard that it was a ghost, they all took two steps back in fright.

"Ping'er is not a ghost, no, she is just hungry, really hungry!" Hao Shi held Leng Ping behind her, begging, "Dear folks, don't talk about badgers, I heard that There are people cannibals in the villages ten miles away from us. This person is so hungry that he can't do anything. It's not easy for people to live like today's catastrophe. For the sake of Mrs. Leng, and for the sake of my dead husband, just bypass Pinger!"

When Hao shi said this, the villagers in Taiping Village hesitated. Who in this village has not received the favor of Leng Ping's parents!
Yu Xiuman secretly glanced back at the vicious Leng Batian, hesitated for a while and said: "Sister Hao, this Leng Ping is already a member of your family anyway, you just need to keep an eye on her, don't go around Going to harm others, now that we can't take care of ourselves, who will meddle in your family's business? Okay, let's go, let's go, slow down, this Miss Leng's family came up hard , and pick you up again, I don't care!"

Just now, Leng Ping killed the badger fiercely, and the whole village saw it. Who was not afraid? When Yu Xiuman shouted, it was really faster than a rabbit. After a while, everything disappeared, and only Leng Ping was left. The Batian gang.

"Master, I don't think it's right, let's find a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. Let's catch the ghosts first!" A servant gave Leng Batian an idea in a low voice.

Leng Batian was a little unwilling. When he came out today, he had made a promise with his wife that he would kill Leng Ping, a little hoof, but now...

Seeing that Leng Batian would not leave, Leng Ping suddenly widened her eyes, straightened her body, and suddenly raised the kitchen knife. There was still badger blood on the kitchen knife, dripping down the handle.

"Mother, the miss is really a ghost!" A timid servant shouted, and ran away all at once. Once the servant ran away, the rest of the people lost their composure. Two servants came up. In front of him, holding Leng Batian on one left and one on the right, he hurried back, persuading him as he walked, "Master, let's find someone to exorcise ghosts first!"

Leng Batian was also afraid, so he half pushed and left.

Seeing that Leng Batian and his group had left, Leng Ping breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the wooden tray and said to Hao Shi who was paralyzed on the ground: "Auntie, rest, I will cook meat for you!"

It was getting dark, and a smell of meat wafted out from Hao's house, and the steamy candlelight flickered, making it extraordinarily warm.

Leng Ping leaned down and sniffed the badger carefully. Although this was the first time she ate this badger and lacked ingredients, she just boiled it with water and added some salt, but because she was hungry for a long time, she smelled it. It tastes more fragrant than dragon meat.

On the opposite side of the kang table, Hao Shi was holding the flower that was eating her finger in her arms, she hadn't reacted yet, her eyes were blank, and next to her were Shi Shi and Hao Dan, their eyes were fixed He stared at the meat, but did not dare to move his chopsticks.

"Ping... Ping'er, do you really want to eat this meat?" Hao Shi finally spoke, his eyes full of horror.

Is this Pinger really a ghost?Bah bah, if others don't believe in Ping'er, how can she not believe it?Hao Shi quickly dismissed his thoughts.

"Why don't you eat it? As long as it's not poisonous, you can eat it!" Leng Ping took a piece of meat and chewed it in her mouth. Although there was an indescribable taste, at least it was meat, and it shouldn't be too high at this time. Asked, and said, "This meat has been cooked for an hour, and it's rotten and fragrant!"

While she was chewing, she spoke vaguely, the mouth was full of hot air and fragrance, the gluttonous Hao Dan and Shi Shi all swallowed mouthfuls of saliva, and the sound of the flowers sucking their fingers was particularly loud.

"Ping'er, no one eats this food, really no one eats it!" Although Hao Shi was feeling hungry and drooling, he still persuaded.

"Auntie, you just said that when people want to survive, they even eat human flesh, let alone this badger!" Leng Ping waved her hand, put a few pieces into the bowl in front of Hao, "In the past three days, I've never seen you eat seriously, and you can't hold it even if you're as strong as iron, if something happens to you, what will these children do?"

Hao's hand holding Hua'er was tight. In the past three days, she ate some wild vegetables and drank some water. Although there was still a little food from the villagers in the basket, who knows when this plague will pass? Knowing when the gate of the city will be opened, she didn't know how to farm the land before, and has been relying on embroidering a few handkerchiefs to sell in the city to pay back the money. Now that the gate is closed, she has no business to do, so she just leaves the food alone. , Tightly give the child to eat.

"Mother, you can eat something, as long as you don't die, you can eat some!" Hao Dan stretched out his hand suddenly, and pushed the bowl in front of Hao Shi, "Mother, survival is the most important thing!"

Hao Shi bit her lip, looking at the three skinny children, thinking about Hao Ren who was still in the city, Hao Ren immediately picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and took two bites first. He said to Hao Dan: "Don't eat it first, mother and sister Ping'er eat first, if it's really all right, you can eat later!"

Hao Dan and the two children nodded quickly.

Hao Shi stuffed the meat into his mouth vigorously, thinking to finish eating quickly, so that the children could have a full meal if there was really no retribution.

Leng Ping sighed and ate silently, the sound of the two chewing loudly echoed in the small thatched cottage.

"Mother, Hua'er wants to eat meat!" Suddenly, Hua'er stretched out her small hand to touch the meat in the bowl, her eyes that were extraordinarily large because of her thinness were full of longing.

"Good boy, just wait for an hour!" Hao Shi was still worried.

Hua'er began to cry, "Mom, I want to eat meat!"

As soon as Hua'er cried, Shi Shi also made a fuss, only Hao Dan stared at the meat silently.

Leng Ping knew that it would be difficult for an ancient person like Hao to accept this matter at once, so she coaxed Hua'er and Shitou in a low voice: "This meat is not cooked yet, sister and your mother will eat some first, and I will eat it later." Go back and cook, and then you can eat! Come on, eat the buns first!"

That pastry was saved by Hao Shi for going to the grave today, and when he came back, he took it back, and there was a small nick on it from the flower bite yesterday.

Leng Ping divided the steamed soft pastry into three small portions, and gave them to Hua'er and Shishi respectively, and the last portion to Hao Dan.
