192 Wife, It’s Not Tasty
The pus on Qu Xin’er’s legs were getting worse. With a light touch, they looked like they would break at any moment. It was a terrifying sight.
Qu Lianghua thought of his dead wife and finally chose his daughter over his pride.
Fortunately, Qu Yuanxian was with them this time, so Qu Lianghua did not have to worry about being chased out by Chu Tianbao as soon as he entered.
They had yet to enter the courtyard.
Xiaobai pounced at Qu Lianghua.
It remembered Chu Tianbao’s instructions. If Qu Lianghua came again, it had to bite him.
Qu Lianghua was so frightened that he turned pale. He carried Qu Xin’er and ran.
Xiaobai could reach 70 kilometers per hour. How could he dodge it?
At the critical moment, Bai Wutong stopped Xiaobai.
Xiaobai retracted its mouth that was about to bite Qu Lianghua’s leg.
Xiaobai bared its teeth and arched back to defend against the intruders.
As long as Bai Wutong gave the order, it would pounce on them and tear Qu Lianghua and his daughter into pieces.
Ever since Qu Yuanxian arrived at this village, he had heard from the villagers that Xiaobai would not hurt anyone. Xiaobai was a spiritual beast in the village and was specially here to protect Madam Bai.
But now, Xiaobai did not bite anyone but Qu Lianghua. It could be seen how badly he had offended them.
Bai Wutong still gave Qu Yuanxian some face and called out to Xiaobai again. Xiaobai obediently returned to her and licked the back of her hand, as if it was asking for a reward like Chu Tianbao.
She gently touched its head and walked towards Qu Yuanxian. “What’s the matter, Lord Qu?”
The sun was almost setting. If one did not inform others in advance, it would be very rude to enter someone’s place like this.
Qu Yuanxian glanced at his pale-looking son and said to her, “Madam Bai, our Xin’er’s condition has relapsed. Can you help us find Doctor Gu?”
His words were not only to request Bai Wutong to order Xiaobai to bring them to Gu Zhongxun, but also to ask her to ask Gu Zhongxun to agree to treat Xin’er’s injuries.
Since Qu Yuanxian had personally spoken, this was a huge favor.
He was an official after all. There was no guarantee that there would be a time when she would need to ask him for help. She nodded. “Then let’s go now.”
She looked at Chu Tianbao and said. “Bring the bamboo basket.”
Chu Tianbao’s sharp gaze instantly became soft and cute when he met her eyes. “Alright, wife.”
His completely different temperaments made him seem like two different people, making him even more dangerous and terrifying.
Previously, Qu Yuanxian had asked Cui Shize about the origins of the two of them. Now, even though he was not sure, he still could sense that they were not ordinary people.
Even in the pool, a dragon was still a dragon. Qu Yuanxian decided to go back and educate Qu Lianghua well. Even if he could not be on good terms with Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao, he could not become enemies with them.
Bai Wutong, Chu Tianbao, and Xiaobai walked in front, but Qu Lianghua, who was behind them, could not walk anymore.
Usually, when he was at home, other than studying, he would at most go for a walk in the garden. He had never walked such a difficult mountain path. There were thorns everywhere, causing his elegant robe to be torn apart.
On the other hand, the people in front seemed to be strolling leisurely. Occasionally, they would stop and place the mushrooms into the basket.
Every time he met their gazes, Qu Lianghua felt that they were complaining that he was too slow and he felt humiliated. He regretted listening to his father and personally followed them to look for Gu Zhongxun.
Xiaobai seemed to have discovered something. It dug its nose into the ground and the leaves spread out. Then, Bai Wutong discovered a beautiful truffle mushroom.
Truffle mushrooms had high protein, fat, fiber, and many other nutritional ingredients. Moreover, there were medicinal ingredients contained in truffle mushrooms. They had the effect of removing phlegm and pain relief. They could also treat numbness in the hands and feet, waist and leg pain.
Most importantly, it tasted good.
Be it barbecue or hotpot, they were both very delicious and tender.
It was much better than meat.
Joy appeared on her face as she rubbed Xiaobai’s head. “Xiaobai, you’re amazing!”
Xiaobai howled and glanced at Chu Tianbao proudly.
Chu Tianbao pouted. “It’s just one. Tianbao also found a lot just now.”
She snickered and said, “Tianbao is awesome too!”
Chu Tianbao immediately looked at Xiaobai with a smug gaze.
As for Qu Lianghua, who was panting and catching up, he felt that he was about to die from exhaustion. However, this couple and the wolf seemed to be on vacation, as if they had completely forgotten that his daughter needed to find Gu Zhongxun to treat her injuries.
He could not help but imagine if she hated them and was deliberately teasing him. She did not even think of looking for Gu Zhongxun.
Qu Lianghua tried his best to control his expression and asked in a deep voice, “Madam Bai, how long will it take to find Doctor Gu?”
They had been travelled for nearly an hour.
If Bai Wutong knew what he was complaining about, she would definitely think to herself, it had only been an hour, young man, your small body is too weak.
She could tell that he was unhappy. Although she was helping him, she did not owe him anything.
She said indifferently, “Soon. If Young Master Qu doesn’t believe us, you can enter the mountain to look for him yourself.”
The Jade Spiritual Mountain was very large and filled with lush vegetation. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants were everywhere. When Qu Lianghua heard the response from Bai Wutong, even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he still did not dare to make a sound.
He didn’t even have a dagger in his hand, and he couldn’t find his way back. He could only give in and shut up.
In the blink of an eye, he thought about how if he married Cui Lingyi, he would definitely not let her continue to interact with a sharp-tongued woman like her.
Suddenly, Xiaobai raised its head and howled.
Bai Wutong guessed, “They should be just ahead.”
He did not see a single shadow in front of him. Qu Lianghua thought that she was spouting nonsense to coax him.
However, under Xiaobai’s lead, they quickly met Gu Zhongxun, who had entered the mountain with Huang Zhong and Ye Wu.
Huang Zhong’s nose was sharp and could help Gu Zhongxun find a lot of herbs. With Ye Wu following, he could also help them pick herbs and hunt to earn some money.
Gu Zhongxun said in surprise, “Madam Bai, you’re entering the mountain at this time?”
Shaking her head, she looked at Qu Lianghua, who was panting and sweating behind her. “He wants you to treat his daughter.”
Gu Zhongxun wanted to ask why Qu Xin’er’s wound had become serious. When Qu Lianghua came to look for him, he immediately nodded and agreed to go back to treat Qu Xin’er’s injury.
There was still some time before nightfall. They were in no hurry and stayed in the mountains to pick mushrooms.
The bamboo basket was filled. Just as she was about to return, she suddenly saw some small green fruits on a tree.
She walked in and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a wild jujube kiwi tree.
The reason why the jujube kiwi was called the jujube kiwi was that it was only the size of a date and had a stronger taste and higher sweetness than ordinary kiwi fruits.
This one weighed a few catties. It was small and looked like an unlit small lantern. It was extremely cute.
Bai Wutong liked to drink kiwi juice. These jujube kiwis were still very hard. Now that she had picked them back, after letting them turn ripe, she could eat them.
If she couldn’t finish it, she could even make dried kiwi, kiwi jam, and canned kiwi.
Just as she was about to ask Chu Tianbao to pick some, he vomited out the kiwi he had taken a bite of. He frowned and said bitterly, “Wife, it tastes bad.”
