Su Yunjin pointed at the earthenware bowl in front of her and said, "I'll get up and eat so porridge!"
Gu Ya had just co back and hadn't looked at the table, so he didn't notice the bowl and spoon on it until Su Yunjin ntioned it.
Carrying the dicinal herbs in his hand, he walked to the table and saw the small bowl, which was also chipped, and feared such a small bowl might not be enough to fill her.
He then asked, "Yunjin, would you like more? I'll serve you another bowl."
"No need." One bowl was enough for Su Yunjin. In modern tis, Su Yunjin didn't eat much, and besides, the porridge she had just eaten was sowhat thick, so she felt about eighty percent full.
Looking at Gu Ya's hands, Su Yunjin asked, "What are you holding there?"
Gu Ya had ntioned earlier that he was going to get so dicine for her, and Su Yunjin guessed that what he was holding must be the dicinal herbs Gu Ya had gone to get for her.
And that was indeed the case. "Yunjin, these packets are all the dicine I just got for you at the market."
Su Yunjin's complexion was now pale, her skin dry and yellow, presenting a malnourished and sickly appearance.
While at the market getting dicine, even though he was financially embarrassed, Gu Ya still clenched his teeth and bought two taels of pork for Su Yunjin at the butcher's, spending two copper coins.
This was to make so soup, as well as to nourish her body. The doctor had said she needed to be well nourished; today, they would make do with those two taels of at.
His leg might be la, but his hands were still functional. His archery skills were unmatched in Gu Family village – with aim, he never missed. Otherwise, his hunting abilities wouldn't be so well-known throughout Gu Family village.
Although he couldn't hunt the big beasts in the deep mountains, he could still hunt wild chickens and ducks on the foothills and at the base of the mountain.
Tomorrow at first light, he'd go up the mountain again to try his luck.
Who knows, he might be able to co back with a few wild chickens or ducks.
With those, he wouldn't have to worry about lacking at to nourish his little wife.
Su Yunjin didn't know that Gu Ya, despite his la leg, was planning to go up the mountain to get her so ga. If she had known, she would definitely have stopped him.
Gu Ya already had a la leg, the left one at that. If he went into the mountains again, she hoped he wouldn't co back with his right leg la too, or worse, encounter a tiger or other beast and be eaten—she would feel terribly guilty.
After all, Su Yunjin was a person who had received higher education in the 21st century.
She could never allow a man with a disabled leg to go up the mountain to hunt for her nourishnt.
"Yunjin, rest well; I'll go brew the dicine for you," Gu Ya said to her, then picked up the dicinal herbs and left the house.
After Gu Ya left, Su Yunjin did not lie down as he had suggested.
Before her transmigration, the original owner of the body had already been lying down for two days, and now that she occupied the body, it was as if she, too, had been lying down for two days.
Having lain down for so long, she would not be surprised if she got bedridden if she continued lying down.
Moreover, lying down all day, she suspected one could beco ill from inactivity.
The blankets on the bed had been stained with a lot of dicine when Gu Ya had been feeding it to her in her unconscious state – it was all the awful bitter sll of herbal dicine, and Su Yunjin wanted to change them since she could not bear the scent.
She got out of bed and searched the room thoroughly, and in an old wooden box, Su Yunjin unexpectedly found a clean quilt cover and bedsheet.
They had been washed by the original owner before going back to her parents' ho. Su Yunjin rejoiced; this ant she would not have to continue sleeping on the dirty, stinky, moldy blanket and bedsheets on the bed.
Su Yunjin took out the clean bedsheets and quilt she had just found, which were still fragrant with a pleasant odor of soapberry.
Efficiently, Su Yunjin changed the blankets and bedsheets on the bed to the clean ones.
