Chapter 126: Arriving at Yuelan’s Home
Lin Yuelan left the house. Then, she returned with a wild rabbit and a few large eggs. When she returned, she saw the War God squatting down and staring at the wild vegetables in a daze. Lin Yuelan found it funny and said, “masked uncle, why haven’t you started preparing the vegetables yet?”
Jiang Zhennan stood up immediately and said a little shyly, “Yue ‘Er, you didn’t tell me how to prepare the vegetables, so I...”
Lin Yuelan burst out laughing, “haha, masked uncle, you’re so cute! Haha.”
No one could imagine that the War God would be defeated by wild vegetables. While Lin Yuelan was laughing, she noted that Jiang Zhennan’s head went lower and lower. She realized that she had gone too far. She coughed twice and handed the rabbit to Jiang Zhennan. “Here, you can handle this rabbit, right? I’ll prepare the vegetables.”
“Yes, I know how to prepare a rabbit!” Jiang Zhennan quickly took the rabbit from Lin Yuelan’s hands. However, he frowned again when he looked around the small hut.
Lin Yuelan said, “Go east from here for another 1000 feet, and you’ll find a small stream!” This was the War God, so she didn’t need to worry about him running into troubles at night. For soldiers, the time of day didn’t matter that much anyway.
Jiang Zhennan took the rabbit and left.
Lin Yuelan looked at the figure and shook her head with a smile. “It’s so late at night. I hope he won’t be mistaken for a ghost.”
Lin Yuelan took her apron from the wall and tied it around her waist. Then, she began to prepare the vegetables. She planned to have a scrambled egg with Bucktooth and a braised rabbit. That would be all for tonight’s meal.
While Lin Yuelan was busy cooking, Guo Bing was not idle either. They were going to sleep out in the courtyard that night, so of course, they had to prepare too. They searched high and low, but they couldn’t find a single wooden board. They only found a pile of dry grass in the bamboo warehouse. It seemed like that was all they had for that night.
However, there were many mosquitoes on summer nights.
“Hey, boss, where are you going? What’s that you’re carrying?” Guo Bing, who was pulling grass in the yard, immediately called out when he saw Jiang Zhennan, “Hey, isn’t that a wild rabbit? It’s quite fat too!”
They hadn’t eaten meat for a long time because they were being hunted. They didn’t expect to have meat on the first night they were at Lin Yuelan’s place. It was really awesome.
Jiang Zhennan lifted the rabbit that was still kicking. He said coldly, “I’ll go prepare this rabbit.”
Guo Bing could see the roast rabbit before his eyes. He drooled and said, “boss, go quickly. Oh, no, you should rest. Let me deal with this rabbit.” He had almost forgotten that their boss’ injuries were more serious than theirs, and he was even poisoned. How did his boss look completely fine now? Could it be that Lin Yuelan had given the boss a miraculous pill? No, even a miraculous pill wouldn’t have such a fast effect, right?
Guo Bing was getting more intrigued by the medicine Lin Yuelan gave them. He wondered how much miracle stuff Lin Yuelan had. If she were to sell them, she could easily get rich. Her pills could bring people back to life. They were really precious. The recipe would be even more valuable!
However, why would Lin Yuelan be so capable? Plus, if she was so capable, why was she hiding in this small mountain village? If she joined the battlefield, she could easily turn the battle around with the help of fierce animals like Little White.
‘Perhaps I can convince Boss to recruit Lin Yuelan to join us on the battlefield.’
The soldiers’ eyesight was not affected by the daylight. They were trained to see in the dark.
Therefore, Jiang Zhennan could clearly see Guo Bing’s expression. In name, he and Guo Bing were superior and subordinate, but in fact, they had been brothers and good friends who had fought side by side for many years. He knew him very well. He could guess what Guo Bing was thinking from his expression.
Jiang Zhennan immediately said sternly, “Guo Bing, don’t even think about dragging her into our issue! Otherwise, more heads will fall to the ground!” He didn’t explain to Guo Bing his promise to Lin Yuelan, but he didn’t want his brother to have crazy thoughts.
Guo Bing was stunned.
But when he finally reacted, his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. Why would he think about something like that?
If Lin Yuelan wanted to be a soldier, she would have left with them two months ago. She wouldn’t have stayed in this village. She had stated many times that saving them was huge trouble for her.
Obviously, she understood the situation in the capital and the power struggle. However, she preferred to live in a small mountain village as a normal person. She didn’t want to be involved in the world’s affairs!
Based on what Jiang Zhennan said, Guo Bing realized that his boss had perhaps made some kind of agreement with Lin Yuelan when the rest of them was unconscious.
Guo Bing immediately restrained his expression and said very seriously, “Boss, don’t worry. Lin Yuelan is our friend and savior. We will never bite the hand that feeds us! Yes, we can’t even remember what had happened in the mountain anymore!” He gave Jiang Zhennan his promise that he wouldn’t expose anything about Lin Yuelan.
In the kitchen, Lin Yuelan’s fierce aura had completely disappeared.
If Guo Bing really forced her to join them on the battlefield because they needed her power, she would kill him immediately! Thankfully, she didn’t need to do that.
Guo Bing didn’t know that he had just survived a brush with death.
