Chapter 28 Nitrile Seed
Chapter 28 Nitrile Seed
As an injured person, Lu Hanzhang still cherished his little life a lot. Lying on the bed and closing his eyes, he didn't need to worry about it anymore.
However, thoughts were not so easy to control.
With her eyes closed, she really wanted to know if that woman had managed to hunt a wolf. He had seen valiant women before, as well as those from the north and the city of Tarantula. It was not uncommon to see a few animals grazing in the snow in cold weather, but those women were still as terrified as crying bags when they met wolves.
With a creak, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The woman's voice said, "Do you know how to use salt?"
Hearing this, Lu Hanzhang opened his eyes: "Yes!" Looking at the woman with wolf fur stains on her clothes, the facts were already laid out in front of him. He could not continue to doubt that this woman could really hit a wolf.
"Then you take good care of your wounds and help me heal my wounds in a few days."
"Hmm, after a few days, your skin will become moldy. For now, you can peel off the wolf skin and leave it in brine for a day."
"Alright." Ning Yan walked out of the house and brought the dead wolf back to Lu Hanzhang's room. In her hand was a shiny dagger, she gestured at the wild wolf. The dagger slid and flashed with a silver light, hitting Lu Hanzhang in the eye. Lu Hanzhang was struck by the dagger until he closed his eyes, and at the same time, a smile rose on his face.
Looking at the wolf in the woman's hand and the pretty good quality dagger, the interest in her eyes grew.
Ning Yan pierced the dagger in his hand into the weak point of the dead wolf and slid upwards. With her other hand, she lifted up the wolf's body, and a complete wolf hide fell into his hand.
She then placed the entire piece of wolf skin into the water jar according to Lu Hanzhang's words. A pool of blood and a wolf without skin appeared on the floor.
Ning Yan looked at the man on the bed. The man was also looking at her, his eyes filled with admiration.
Madan, this is also a pervert. He can remain so calm and collected while staying in the same room with a leatherless wolf, and he even shows an expression of admiration.
She brought the wolf into the house to flay, to warn this person who called himself Lu Da, but she did not bully him, so what was there to be unhappy about?
But Lu Da appreciated her? Ning Yan hugged herself as she shivered. Even though she had an unusual experience with great strength, she still wanted to maintain a respectful and distant attitude towards this pervert.
Lu Hanzhang's smile became wider and wider. He naturally knew what Ning Yan meant, did he really think that he could scare him like this? He had seen rivers of blood and the ground full of dried bones countless times. If he was scared by a dead wolf, then he would have lived for more than 20 years in vain.
Ning Yan stared at Lu Hanzhang, gritted his teeth and said: "You should change the medicine." As she said this, he took out a small bottle of 3/7 powder and walked towards the bed step by step. She stood beside the bed and asked, "Should I change the medicine for you or will you do it yourself?"
"You do it." Lu Hanzhang closed his eyes, showing an expression of allowing Ning Yan to do whatever she wanted, as though she did not know that she was using the medicine to get back at him.
Ning Yan pulled off Lu Hanzhang's clothes, looked at the bandages that were already dyed red with blood and frowned, then placed his hand on the man's belt. She remembered that there was a scratch on the man's waist.
"Continue, why aren't you moving?"
Wasn't this fellow ashamed? Ning Yan's mouth twitched, the hand on his waist pulled back, ignoring the injury caused by his pants.
He had only cleaned the wound on the man's upper body.
Looking at the rotten meat's wound, Ning Yan sighed, took out the long and thin sharp knife that she had never used before, and used fire to disinfect it, then cut off the rotten meat off Lu Hanzhang's body.
A lot of blood flowed out, Ning Yan was busy trying to stop the bleeding, apply medicine, and bandage.
After finishing all these tasks, the sky had already darkened. His gaze swept across the man's waist as he said, "The wound on his waist is more than sufficient for you to treat."
"He's still a child." Why would she deal with all these wounds? As Lu Hanzhang spoke, the smile in his eyes became even wider. He still wanted to see what her thoughts were on his body.
"Then you'll take care of it yourself?"
"…" Lu Hanzhang was speechless. The woman in front of him was actually so illogical. His flesh had been cut off once, so he had to apply the medicine himself. If his movements were too big, the wound would split open and wouldn't heal in time. At that time, he would most likely be cut again.
"Then forget it, I'll let you have more than I can handle."
"Hmm, you taught him how to write today?"
"Not really. I'm just giving him some pointers on how to write."
"…" Alright, Ning Yan did not inquire any further. After all, she did not know how to write.
She walked out of her room and prepared dinner. As there was a patient at home, Ning Yan tried her best to make it as light as possible. After the meal, he cooked a bowl of red date and wolfberry porridge for Lu Hanzhang to replenish her blood. After eating, Ning Yan cut the wolf meat into two jin and sent it to Aunt Huang.
She came out from Aunt Huang's house and headed back towards the village head's home, bringing a pot of meat with him. When she returned, the basin was already empty, the meat of a wolf's body was not little, and when Ning Yan grabbed a handful of salt, her heart ached for it, and she sprinkled the salt onto the wolf meat, hanging it inside the well.
In the morning of the next day, as Ning Yan carried the meat to the county city, the first thing she thought of when she was selling it was Bai Family.
The deer from last time had been sold to Bai Family. As for the wolf meat, although it hadn't been fresh all night, it hadn't rotted. After all, it had been marinated in salt.
There were four or five concubines in the Bai Family Book. Thinking about it this way, even if the wolf meat couldn't be sold, the wolf whips could still be sold.
He knocked on the door and found the Wet Nurse Bai. He took off the white cloth covering the basket and revealed half of the wolf meat, showing it to the Wet Nurse Bai.
"Wolf meat?"
"Yes, yes, I found it yesterday. After peeling it off, I used salt to marinate it. It shouldn't be a problem."
"Grandma, I heard that wolf meat is thicker than dog meat, and tastes even better than donkey meat. Is that true?"
"If you want to eat meat then just say so. You even beat around the bush with this mama." Wet Nurse Bai poked the green-clothed little girl's forehead, the love in her words almost spilling out.
"Momo, I've never eaten before, haven't I?"
"You haven't eaten much." Wet Nurse Bai's gaze landed on Ning Yan after she finished speaking: "Lady Ning is really capable, this half wolf must be at least 50 to 60 jin in weight, normal people would not dare to provoke this, what price do you plan to offer?" Wet Nurse Bai looked through the meat on the basket. When she saw the wolf whip, her eyes flashed with a hidden smile.
Ning Yan said after understanding the situation, "It's fine for this mama to give it to you as a gift, but this is the first time I've encountered a wolf. I really don't know the price."
After Ning Yan finished, the Wet Nurse Bai began to think. After all, although wolf meat was rare, it wasn't as expensive as the deer. If there wasn't too much, it wouldn't be suitable either.
"How about this, four taels of silver. What do you think?"
"Sure." Moreover, only half of the wolf meat was still alive. Ning Yan naturally would not ask the Wet Nurse Bai to offer the same price as the deer.
After negotiating the price, the gatekeeper brought the meat to the kitchen of the Bai residence.
The green clothed girl took out her purse, took out some silver and placed it in Ning Yan's hands.
Ning Yan carried the empty basket and prepared to walk towards the market, but just as she took two steps, she was caught by the little girl dressed in green.
"Lady Ning, wait!"
"…" Ning Yan stopped and turned back to look at the green clothed girl. Behind the green clothed girl was a servant girl.
Ning Yan's gaze stayed on the servant for a while longer. It was not because the servant was handsome, but because the servant was holding a water basin in his hands. There were two strange looking things inside the basin.
