The place where we are staying for rest now is because the surrounding terrain is flat and open, so there is no need to worry about encountering an enemy ambush.
There was a small forest not far away. Xia Jing thought for a while and walked towards the forest.
Bai Mei, who was following behind, found that they had walked out of the team, so she asked her doubts, "Princess, where are we going?"
Xia Jing replied casually: "Chu Gong."
Bai Mei raised her eyes and glanced at the woods not far away, and understood in her heart, "Actually, if you want to say respectfully and ask the guards to build a small tent temporarily, why bother to run out of the team yourself? The world is too chaotic now, and I am worried that the woods will also
Not safe.”
The more the little girl talked, the more she felt that the woods were unsafe, "How about I call some of the guards to come over?"
Xia Jing rolled her eyes at the girl and said, "I'm going out alone as a woman, why don't you let a few grown men surround me and ask them to listen to the sound of water? Your master, can I still pee? If you don't embarrass me, I will, so don't blather.
.”
After saying that, I covered my mouth and frowned in pain. It was really hard to get rid of the blisters.
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She really wanted to cover her face when she imagined that scene in her mind!
She patted her face, which was so hot that she could fry an egg. Seeing that the princess had already walked away, she quickly chased after her.
Xia Jing noticed the little girl's red face and felt funny in her heart. This little girl's face was too tender.
The two entered the woods and found that the woods in front of them were different from what they had imagined.
The woods they imagined, at least there were small bushes in the woods, so it was convenient to come here and at least have some cover.
But in the small woods in reality, there are bare bushes on the ground. The ground has been dug up several times. Even the bark of the slightly larger trees has been peeled off. It’s so miserable! Some trees are still alive and well.
Most have dried up.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Xia Jing thought of one word in her mind: Three-Guang Policy!
Too cruel!
Sure enough, the historical records are correct. Wherever the refugees pass, they are like locusts passing by, leaving no grass growing!
The woods without shelter were obviously not suitable for women. Xia Jing looked around, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Go back."
"Princess, please wait for me for a while. Now that I'm here, pick up some branches and go back. The blisters in your mouth haven't gone away yet, so I just want to go back and pick up some firewood to make rice porridge."
Xia Jing saw a lot of boys coming from the team, thinking they were coming to collect firewood, "Okay."
"princess?!"
The boys never expected to see the princess in the woods. It should be said that they did not expect Xia Jing to come to this grove.
Now that I have met her, I naturally come up to greet her and say, "I have met the princess."
"No need to be polite, you go about your business." Xia Jing motioned for them to go ahead and leave her alone.
The boys were not as gentle as Baimei. They only picked up some branches on the ground. They brought axes with them, and when they saw a dry tree, they immediately opened their arms and chopped it down.
Xia Jing leaned against the tree, closed her eyes, and soaked her spiritual power into the ground, hoping to see if there were any plant roots that the refugees had missed.
Without eating vegetables for many days and without vitamin supplements, the ulcers in her mouth were difficult to heal. She urgently needed some fresh food supplements.
Of course, oral ulcers are also related to physical constitution. Sometimes people's physical constitution becomes worse and they are more likely to get ulcers.
"Princess, when you are tired, we will go back and rest." Bai Mei ran over, followed by a boy who held a bundle of firewood in his arms.
Xia Jing opened her eyes and glanced behind her. This little girl was quite good at calling people. She shook her head: "It's okay."
After saying that, he walked around her, walked to an open space, squatted down, took out the dagger from his sleeve pocket and started digging on the ground.
"Princess, what are you digging for?" Bai Mei came over curiously.
After digging a few times, a few white round particles were revealed in the soil. Xia Jing picked up the white round particles, handed them to Bai Mei, and said with a smile: "Hey, this is it, do you recognize it?"
Bai Mei was also a child from a poor family when she was young. How could she not recognize him? She nodded.
"Princess, what is this?" The boy holding firewood also came over and stared curiously at the white particles in Xia Jing's hand. Could they be some precious medicinal materials?
The corners of Xia Jing's lips curled up slightly, "As soon as I heard you speak, I knew that you had never suffered hardship since you were a child. You should be a son of a family in the house, right?"
Xia Jing had never seen the young man in front of her, or she had seen him in the mansion and didn't take it seriously.
The boy nodded happily: "Yes, the younger one is born in the family. It's rare that the princess remembers the younger one."
The corner of Xia Jing's mouth twitched slightly. She knew that he was born in the family not because she knew him, but because she knew that the life that the child in the family lived in the mansion was richer than that of ordinary merchants outside.
Therefore, listening to this kid's words, you will know that he has never suffered hardship since he was a child. If he bought it from outside, he must have a history of hardship in the past and survived the poor days.
"Bai Mei, tell this boy, what is this?"
Bai Mei glanced at the other party and said in a rather disgusting tone, "Listen clearly, what the princess is holding is a rhizome called wild onion. These small round particles can be seen at a glance as the rhizome of wild onion, which is also the seed.
.The main rhizome must have been dug out by the refugees, and these newly separated small rhizomes were left in the soil."
If the princess doesn't find them, maybe they will sprout out of the soil again when the rainwater temperature is right.
"So this is a wild vegetable, not a precious medicinal material?" The boy stared at the mud at his feet in disbelief. Seeing that the princess did not mind the dirt and went to dig it herself, he thought it was something valuable.
"Precious medicinal materials?"
Bai Mei seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed regardless of the image, "Haha. I can't tell that you are still a money man! Everything you wear with it looks like gold!"
Xia Jing had a cheating tool, so she took the little girl around to find a small handful of green onions. It was not easy, mainly because the underground was too clean by the homeless people.
When we returned to the resting camp, we saw from a distance that there were many people surrounding Wang Jia.
"What happened again? The cry sounded like the voice of the princess." Bai Mei stretched her neck and looked forward. There were too many people around and she couldn't see anything.
Xia Jing frowned slightly. The voice seemed to be that of the eldest lady. This hysterical cry must be serious.
When the other family members surrounding the area saw that it was Xia Jing, they all consciously moved out of the way.
There are also many people in the circle, including several heads of family, a few women, and many maids and women.
King Qian was stroking his forehead with a headache, frowning and was feeling worried. When he raised his eyes, he saw Xia Jing coming in, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He waved to Xia Jing, "Princess, you're here at the right time. Come and persuade Xian'er to be more open-minded and not to be too persistent about anything. You really won't look back until you touch the south wall."
Xia Jing: "." She still doesn't know what happened?
Li Chengxian wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned around and glared at Xia Jing with hatred.
Xia Jing was stared at inexplicably!
Li Chengxian turned around and cried again: "Father, you don't want to see me well. You want to add trouble to my heart. Let Xia, the chief culprit, comfort me. Isn't this stabbing a knife into my already bloody heart?"
