Chapter 153 Shao Bai (2)
"Ahem, wait a minute, I think I can still save him." The person on the ground suddenly spoke.
"Still alive? Then please move your car, I can't get through!" Wangyou thought it wouldn't be right to kill someone you had no grudge against.
"Cough cough cough..." The boy turned his head with difficulty and glanced at the little girl who looked like she was smiling and easy to talk to, but was actually not easy to talk to at all.
"Don't try to scam me. This is the middle of nowhere, no one will be able to see us," Wangyou said quietly, taking a step back.
"Please, young lady, escort me on my way. I will certainly repay you!" After saying this, the boy couldn't help but cough up blood again.
“You have nothing of value, and the clothes you’re wearing aren’t worth much. What can you possibly give me in return?” Wangyou squatted down and asked with great interest.
"I still have some silver on me."
"I don't lack money."
"Well... cough cough cough, once I'm better, I can help you with chores, and I can even cook and start a fire!"
"How good are you at cooking?" Wangyou thought about her cooking skills and realized that having a chef by her side wouldn't be bad.
"not bad!"
"Then I might be able to let you stay. What's your name?"
"My name is Ye Dingzhi."
"Ye Dingzhi, what a good name. My name is Wangyou. Take one of these pills!" Wangyou thought for a moment, then went back to the donkey cart, took out a pill, and handed it to Ye Dingzhi.
Watching Ye Dingzhi swallow the pill, Wangyou thought weakly, "Just taking medicine shouldn't count as practicing medicine, right?"
Ye Dingzhi immediately realized that the medicine was exceptionally effective after taking the pill, so he quickly sat down to meditate and recover.
Once the effects of the medicine wore off, Ye Dingzhi felt that his internal injuries had improved considerably.
How are you feeling?
"I feel much better, thank you for the medicine, young lady!"
"Don't rush to thank me. Don't forget what you said yourself. From now on, you'll be my personal little chef," Wangyou said, hands on her hips, with a touch of spoiled arrogance.
"Okay." Anyway, he had nowhere else to go, and it wasn't safe for such a young girl to walk alone outside.
The two drove the donkey cart for a while longer, and soon it was noon. "There are pots, pans, rice, and flour on the cart, so you can cook!"
When the time came, Wangyou began to boss people around with a sense of entitlement.
"Wangyou, let's find a place with a water source so we can cook," Ye Dingzhi said with a smile.
"Is that so?" She had never cooked outdoors before, so she wasn't really sure.
"Not necessarily, but having water is always more convenient. I know there's a water source not far ahead. Shall we go there first?"
"Alright then!" Wangyou nodded reluctantly.
Ye Dingzhi was right; there really was a water source here. No, she had heard it a long time ago; it wasn't because he discovered it!
"You knead the dough, I'll go catch a pheasant or a rabbit or something," Wangyou said, and without waiting for Ye Dingzhi's reply, she quickly disappeared into the forest.
Seeing Wangyou's nimble movements, Ye Dingzhi remained silent for a moment before starting to gather firewood around him, preparing to start a fire and cook.
Finally, Wangyou returned carrying two rabbits, a pheasant, and a bundle of fresh grass.
"Hurry up and prepare the rabbit and chicken. I want to drink chicken soup. Just roast the rabbit!"
"it is good."
After saying this, Wangyou carried the green grass to Little Apple and said, "Little Apple, look how good your master is. I never forget to bring you fresh grass when I go out. You must repay me well!"
"Hoo~~" Little Apple responded loudly, then eagerly lowered its head to eat grass. The grass its owner brought back was so delicious.
Then Wangyou had nothing to do, so she took out a peach and started eating it while watching Ye Dingzhi work. As for feeling guilty, she felt absolutely nothing.
Wangyou watched Ye Dingzhi's movements and realized that he did seem to know how to cook. He probably wasn't lying to her. If he was, she would send him to meet the King of Hell.
As Ye Dingzhi kneaded the dough, he felt a chill on his neck and instinctively shrank back.
After finishing a peach, Wangyou walked to the riverbank and watched the fish swimming around. Suddenly, she wanted to eat fish.
So, Wangyou started looking for a suitable tool. After looking around for a while, she spotted the sword next to Ye Dingzhi. "Ye Dingzhi, can I borrow your sword for a moment?"
Before Ye Dingzhi could answer, Wangyou swiftly took the sword. By the time Ye Dingzhi tried to stop her, he had already seen the two fish hanging on the tip of the sword.
These days, even young girls are so capable, so what can he do with his limited skills?
"What's wrong?" Wangyou came over with two fish on a string and saw Ye Dingzhi staring at her in a daze.
"No, it's nothing, but you were too fast."
"Quick?" Wangyou thought it was normal. "But your sword is too ordinary!"
"This sword is just a random one I bought at a blacksmith's shop, so it can't compare to those famous swords. But my master also gave me a sword, which I didn't take with me when I went out to train," Ye Dingzhi said with a smile.
"No wonder, were you also sent out by your master for training?"
"No, I just wanted to get out and travel to become stronger!"
"Then I didn't find anything stronger, but I stumbled upon a severely injured and dying creature." Wangyou continued with a smile.
"I saw some thugs harassing a girl, so I stepped in to help her. I didn't expect those thugs to be so strong, but luckily the girl managed to escape."
"Hehe, you're quite brave!" Wangyou said with a hint of sarcasm.
"When people are in dire straits, they always want someone to lend a helping hand." Ye Dingzhi's expression turned somewhat grim, as if he had thought of something.
"You're thinking about yourself, aren't you? Although I don't know what you've been through, you have to act within your capabilities. If you don't have the strength, don't force it and end up hurting yourself!"
"Perhaps you are right." Ye Dingzhi didn't say anything more and calmed down to start cooking.
Wangyou felt a little sleepy. "I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me when the food is ready."
"it is good."
About half an hour later, Wangyou was woken up by Ye Dingzhi. Looking at the sumptuous lunch, she said, "This looks very appetizing. I'll try it."
Wangyou first picked up a piece of braised fish and said, "Not bad, very delicious!"
He took another sip of the chicken soup, which was perfectly cooked. "Not bad, not bad. I'll take you on as my cook. Let's eat!"
The two sat down and devoured the food, becoming quite full.
After the meal, Ye Dingzhi took the bowls and chopsticks to the river to wash them clean, and then the two continued on their way.
"By the way, Wangyou, why are you out here at such a young age?"
"My third grandfather said I'm a mature big kid now, and it's time for me to go out and gain some experience!"
"So you're really at ease?"
"That's because I'm amazing. My third grandfather, clan elder, and uncles all have no one left to teach me," Wangyou said proudly.
"So what are your skills?"
"I know a lot of things, but there are a few I don't know." Wangyou's voice was slightly frustrated.
Which ones?
"I can't cook, I can't embroider, and I can't farm!" Wangyou counted on her fingers.
"You can do the others too?"
"Not necessarily, because there are things I haven't encountered before, and I don't know if I should know them!" Wangyou said honestly.
