Chapter 91: Which one comes first, the accident or the next meal?
The luggage in the car just now was turned around in a mess, and a lot of it was thrown on the ground.
Everyone packed up their things and left quickly, fearing that those people would come back and kill him if they didn't think well.
After walking forward for another two-quarters of an hour, everyone finally saw a forest.
They drove the ox cart to the woods, planning to camp here tonight.
After we stopped, we all set up tents. It was no longer as hot as the previous day. Especially after a burst of rain, it would still be cold just lying outside at night.
A few men set up a tent, and Mrs. Shen took the other women to start cooking.
Today, those officials took away so much meat. I must turn my grief and anger into appetite and reward myself with a good meal.
Otherwise, I don’t know which one comes first, the accident or the next meal.
When an accident happens, the meat goes into someone else's stomach.
Among the two bundles Ji Xun gave those people, one bundle contained baked steamed buns and sliced meat, and the other bundle contained baked scallion pancakes.
Those pancakes were originally intended to be eaten on the road during the day, but they were all taken away by those people.
If you want to eat it, you can only bake it again.
Old Mrs. Shen used the remaining two chickens and the mushrooms she picked on the mountain that day to cook a large pot of chicken stew with mushrooms. The rice smelled delicious even before it came out of the pot.
In addition, a dish was also fried with marinated wolf meat.
Seeing that all the dishes being cooked tonight were meat dishes, Shen Yuyu turned to the oxcart and brought over two large handfuls of fungus and some wild vegetables, planning to make two pots of cold dishes.
Smelling the fragrant food, Shen Yuyu was satisfied. It would be even better if he ignored Ji Xun who kept asking him to help him get rid of the stuff on his face.
"Just help me get rid of it. This has made me lose all my dignity." Ji Xun thought of the disgusted looks in the eyes of the officials when they saw him, and just wanted to burst into tears.
Shen Yuyu sternly refused without thinking: "No, if those officers and soldiers come back again and see someone in our team with a different face, wouldn't that be a clear indication to others that there is something fishy about us?"
Ji Xun put his hands on his hips and refused, "Shen Yue! You don't mean what you say!"
"As promised, I'll get those people away and you'll help me get that damn thing off my face!"
Shen Yuyu said confidently: "But you made us lose a pack of meat and a pack of cakes, so just use this face for a few more days, and I will change it for you to a more handsome one after you get to the next town.
"
Ji Xun finally compromised when he heard that he could change his face to a more handsome one.
Everyone laughed as they watched Ji Xun being fooled by Shen Yuyu.
This Ji Xun usually seems to be such a smart person, why is he acting stupid now.
Even if he changed his face, would he be as handsome as his own?
But a few days later, everyone was slapped in the face.
With Shen Yu's skillful hands, Ji Xun's face can really be made more handsome.
There were too many people in their group, so they divided the food into two portions.
Although the amount of food was large, there were so many of them, and they consumed so much energy every day. In the end, they didn’t even leave any soup, they just soaked the steamed buns and stuffed them into their stomachs.
After dinner, Mrs. Shen thought about the fried pancakes that had been taken away by the officers and soldiers, and planned to bake some more.
At the same time, he also talked about what happened during the day.
Mr. Shen sat next to Mrs. Shen, took a puff of cigarette and squinted his eyes before saying, "I don't know where the prince the court is looking for has gone."
"Prince Wuding is a general who protects the family and the country. I don't know where this prince is now living."
"Hey, the court has been looking for it for so long and still hasn't found it. It should be the worst possible outcome."
Everyone felt a little regretful, feeling that the thief who assassinated Prince Wu Ding was really not a human being.
Only Shen Yue and Ji Xun glanced at Fei Yanche with unclear meaning.
Fei Yanche pretended not to understand anything and asked innocently: "Eucalyptus, what do you think I am doing?"
Shen Yuyu said calmly: "I'm thinking about wiping off the things on your face in two days and giving you a new face."
Fei Yanche's smile suddenly paused at the corner of his mouth, did you think he was ugly?
...Although he does look a bit ugly now.
Ji Xun looked at how everyone felt sorry for Prince Wuding.
He said: "Don't worry, everyone, maybe they are living well now."
Everyone sighed, it was indeed not their turn to worry about this matter.
After the stars filled the night sky and the night watchers were left behind, everyone dispersed and went back to their tents.
The next day was another sunny day.
After everyone got up, they embarked on their journey south again.
If there are no delays on the way and if we travel faster, we can reach Dashan County, the first county in the south, in the evening.
Thinking of arriving in Dashan County today, everyone was full of motivation and even took a short break at noon to eat some fried pancakes made last night.
If you get tired from walking, sit on the bullock cart and rest for a while.
Finally, in the evening of that day, I saw the high city wall of Dashan County from a distance.
Mr. Shen couldn't hide his joy and said: "We finally got to the place. If Dashan County can take in refugees, we can go directly to the government to register, and finally we can settle down."
The other two old men also answered the conversation cheerfully.
"When we stabilize and buy a few more acres of farmland, life will eventually get better and better."
"Yes, we farmers can only feel at ease when we have land and land in our hands."
Mr. Shen Xingwang's legs and feet were injured when he was young, and his family had no money, so he could only walk on a slope.
Bai Wu helped me take a look along the way and said it could still be cured, but it would just take a little longer.
During this period, I was finally able to walk. Although I couldn't walk like a normal person, I could still move freely.
He was now standing with Mr. Shen and walking forward, feeling that he had finally arrived. The legs and feet of the two old men were extremely nimble.
Everyone was beaming with joy. Although the journey was a bit tiring, they were many times better off than other people who had fled.
But who doesn’t want to settle down?
Everyone quickened their pace and arrived at the open space not far from the city gate before sunset.
But as soon as they got closer, they saw refugees gathering outside the city gate, and everyone fell silent.
Is this the number of people that the government has not yet had time to count, or is it that the government is not allowing entry?
If it's too late today and they haven't had time to count, then they can just wait until tomorrow.
