Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 64 Going down the mountain
However, Situ Jue’s matter was not my main purpose; I just did it on the side.
Since he didn't want to talk, I certainly couldn't force him, so I changed the topic, "Actually, there's nothing shameful. I just don't like the Zhenbei Palace. I feel it's too depressing there, so I found an excuse to escape. Doctor Sun, have you ever heard of the heart doctor's statement?"
"I'd like to hear more details... Why don't we talk as we walk? The hunter's hut I mentioned to the princess is in front of us. There will be a rattan chair for you to sit on in a few steps."
I followed him through the path that was almost invisible as a road, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow in the places where he had walked.
"Have you ever treated a crazy patient?"
"If you just occasionally say nonsense and say things that others don't understand, it can't be considered crazy..."
I was slightly stunned, and immediately thought of what happened before, and couldn't help but break down, "I'm not talking about myself! And I'm not sick, I'm just under a lot of mental pressure!" "But there are also some patients who are usually sick without knowing it." As he said, he turned around and looked at me, his calm eyes made me see a little smile.
No, brother, I want you to help me solve my problems, not to make fun of me!
"We can't have a pleasant chat if you keep doing this!" I frowned. I don't know if the person in front of me hesitated after hearing what I said or because of some unexpected situation, but he suddenly stopped.
Then I bumped my head against the medicine basket on his back. Fortunately, it was an old basket and the vines had been worn smooth, so it didn't hurt from the bump.
Just as I was about to lean over to ask him why he didn't leave, I saw him turn around and make a gesture to me to keep quiet, then he pulled me down to squat and hid in the bushes.
After squatting down, I followed his gaze and discovered that a snake hunting a frog was happening in front of us.
"It's a poisonous snake. The frog can't move. Let's wait a little longer. It will leave naturally after it swallows its prey completely." He tilted his head and explained to me softly.
I also saw that the snake with blue-black patterns had swallowed a frog leg into its mouth. The earth-colored frog was struggling hard and moving slowly. It must be the toxin that was taking effect.
"If the prey was a beautifully colored bird, would you still stand idly by?" I asked softly.
He looked at me and smiled, "Probably not. Maybe there will be an extra snake soup tonight."
"I thought you would treat everyone equally and respect the rules of nature."
"You ask this question because you want to know if I have any preferences. I am just a mortal, so why don't I have my own preferences?"
"Let's take a detour. We don't know how long they will continue to be in a stalemate. It's really uncomfortable to watch."
He agreed to my suggestion, stood up first, and pulled me up with his hand.
When I arrived at the hunter's hut, I was greatly disappointed, but soon felt relieved. After all, it was thousands of years away from my own time, and I should not over-beautify it according to modern habits. I should still show respect for the hut built of branches and thatch for the rest of nearby hunters and herbalists who went up the mountain.
After all, it did have a small wicker chair, and although it looked flimsy and a little worn, it was much better than sitting on cold and dirty stones, so I had no reason to complain.
After resting for a while, I felt thirsty again. I heard the sound of water nearby, which made me even thirstier. However, it is a basic survival rule for modern people not to drink raw water in the wild.
When I just came in, I saw a stone stove on the ground at the door and traces of fire, so I shamelessly asked Doctor Sun if I could boil water here?
He seemed to be shocked by my wild idea and said, "Why don't we go down the mountain and go back to the temple to drink tea?"
I pursed my lips and stopped talking.
So he handed me a few fruits. I picked one from his palm, looked at the bright red color and put it into my mouth. When I bit it, the juice that burst out was so sour that it made my teeth ache and my facial features twisted immediately.
"Why is it so sour? It's already red!" I didn't even have time to spit out the pulp, my face was numb from the sourness.
"Have you quenched your thirst?" He looked at me with a half-smile.
I never thought that a doctor who looked so gentlemanly would dare to lie like this. I was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
You are such a black-hearted person. I wanted to pay some medical fees for what happened today, but now I have unilaterally decided that the medical fees are gone! Not a penny!
Seeing that I was speechless for a long time, he put down the medicine basket, turned around and went out to look for something.
When he came back, he was holding a bamboo kettle in his hand. It also looked old, but clean.
When it was handed to me this time, I asked suspiciously, "Isn't it going to taste weird again?"
He pretended to take it back, but I snatched it away.
He is such a big man, he can't keep teasing me. This time it was no problem. There seemed to be something sweet added to the water. I gulped it all down in one breath. Then he took the empty bamboo tube from my hand and said, "It's getting late. The princess should go back to the temple."
I glanced outside. It was difficult to judge the passage of time by the ambient light in the woods where the sun was blocked out, but since he, a frequent visitor, had said it was getting late, that must be correct.
Although we didn't have much serious conversation from beginning to end, I was still in a good mood, so I took out a silver note that I had prepared in advance from my belt and handed it over, "Thank you for talking to me today, this is the payment for your visit."
He stared at the banknote I handed over for a moment, then took it and said, "Princess, you are welcome. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Following the route pointed out by Doctor Sun, I returned to the temple around noon. I had just changed my clothes in the guest room when I heard Xueyan knocking on the door.
Seeing me answer the door from inside, Xueyan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "The prince has gone up the mountain. Fortunately, you are back."
From her expression, I seemed to have sneaked out to meet someone, leaving her here to worry about me. I smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, don't be so nervous. Even if the prince finds out, it's no big deal."
After meeting up with my cousin Shen Ru, news came from the temple that the vegetarian meal had been prepared.
Situ Jue did not come alone, he came with Prince Yu, but when he heard that there were other female relatives here, he burned incense alone and left without even seeing me. Xueyan, who had been waiting outside, saw it and came back to tell me quietly.
When we were going down the mountain, I asked Situ Jue about it intentionally or unintentionally, and he did not deny it.
"Why would Prince Yu come to Xishan? Did you meet him by chance?"
Situ Jue reached out and patted my knee. "You pay so much attention to other men in front of your husband. Have you ever thought that this is inappropriate?"
He deliberately changed the subject, and then I realized that he had deliberately gone out with me today, probably to meet with Prince Yu in private. He clearly had his own arrangements, but used me as a cover.
By the way, the first time I exposed myself in front of Situ Jue, I also saw him going out with great effort and then sneaking back quietly.
Therefore, he should have known about the spies lurking in the palace long ago, but the target was not clear, so he made some superficial false moves.
Thinking of this, I also smiled. "How can Prince Yu be considered another man? Aren't you and him like brothers? Moreover, he is handsome and elegant. He is also a legitimate prince, the dream lover of the girls in the capital, and a golden bachelor..."
Seeing me praising Prince Yu without blinking, Situ Jue's expression began to become a little unbearable.
