At this time, Father Xia came over with his two sons and two married grandsons.
"Dunhou."
"Uncle Xia."
"Second uncle."
The villagers greeted them one after another. Everyone knew that although the wild vegetable porridge was unpalatable, without the help of Father Xia during the escape, it would have been a problem for the whole village, young and old, to make it through.
Father Xia raised the bowl in his hand and said with an apologetic look: "I have made everyone suffer tonight. I and several adult men in my family are here to eat this wild vegetable porridge with you."
The village chief stood up and said, "Dunhou, you don't have to do this. We all know your difficulties. It's really difficult for you to come all the way and ask you to bear the food and drink of the villagers. No one in the village blames you."
After hearing what the village chief said, Father Xia felt even more guilty, "Village Chief, we have a big family to support. It's not easy for anyone in famine years. I have no choice. Plus, across the river, there are a lot of wild vegetables here."
, so I came up with this method. I am really ashamed of my fellow villagers!"
The village chief comforted: "Don't blame yourself, everyone understands you."
Father Xia shook his head, "I made this decision today out of necessity. When I got home, my old lady found out about it and scolded me. She said that I didn't notify everyone in advance when I made this decision, which caught you off guard.
What should you do if you have young children at home?
To express my apology, the old lady has already taken several daughters-in-law at home to distribute fine grain pancakes to children aged three and under in the village. They will be distributed in the next few days until they reach the next town."
At this moment, the village chief's wife found her presence again. She stood up and said loudly: "Did you hear it? In the next few days, Mrs. Chen will distribute fine grain cakes to children aged three and under in the village. You go
Ask around, who outside doesn’t envy us for having such kind-hearted tribesmen, so when you get to the next town, if you are not used to eating wild vegetable porridge or have children at home, remember to go to the city to buy fine grains by yourself! If you don’t buy it, the child will
If you don’t have food to eat, you’ll just be hungry!”
The villagers saw that Mr. Xia was so considerate for everyone and shared the joys and sorrows with them. The discomfort they felt before disappeared after hearing these words.
There are no complaints in the team. This is the original intention of Mr. Xia to accompany everyone to eat wild vegetable porridge today.
He couldn't let everyone take what he had and end up complaining in the end.
The goal was achieved, and it was not in vain that he took his son and grandson to accompany them for a meal of wild vegetable porridge.
It’s really bitter!
The bitter taste lingered in his sense of smell and taste for the next three days.
In fact, it depends on how you eat wild vegetables. Some wild vegetables taste quite good.
Whenever she stopped by the roadside to rest, Ms. Chen would take several of her daughters-in-law with them, carrying baskets, to look for wild vegetables with acceptable taste in the wastelands and forests along the roadside.
Collect wild vegetables and wash them. Some can be blanched in water and mixed with sauce to eat, and some are delicious if blanched in water and added with a little salt.
Sometimes when you encounter a place with a river, if you are lucky, you might be able to catch a few fish to improve the taste of your family.
When they passed the town again, many villagers from the village formed a group and entered the city. They had been fleeing for so long, and Father Xia was always there to support them.
Now they have to rely on themselves for everything, and they have many things to add to their lives.
Father Xia did not go to the city with the villagers. He sent his two sons and grandson to the city to buy food.
On the other hand, they wanted to get some information. When they came to the area under the jurisdiction of Changsha, many things were in the dark. It was very necessary to understand the local situation.
But he never expected that the news was so explosive that it made him a little confused!
"You are not mistaken, the team from Prince Qian's Palace has really passed by?"
"Dad, we are also afraid of making mistakes, so we have inquired about many people and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city. What they told me is absolutely true. They are really the team of Prince Qian's Mansion!"
Xia Qingshan was afraid that his father would not believe it, so he continued: "In order to find out clearly, I gave them a lot of money. For the sake of the money, they would not lie to me. They told me that King Qian was sent by the emperor.
Go and guard Lingnan, and that will be his fiefdom from now on."
Father Xia looked at his son excitedly, "Does that mean your little sister is also in the team?"
"Definitely!" Xia Qingshan scratched his head and asked: "Dad, what should we do now? Should we continue to follow the villagers to find land to settle down, or should we go after my little sister?"
"I have to think about this carefully!" Dad Xia rubbed the top of his head excitedly.
At this time, Xia Jing did not know that her mother's family was only a few days away behind them.
It was sunny all the way from the north. When I got up this day, I finally saw that the sky in the east was obscured by dark clouds.
The weather is much cooler.
Cloudy days are great for walking.
At the same time, everyone is worried about rain. If it rains, it goes without saying that everyone knows how difficult it will be to walk on the muddy road.
Fortunately, we can reach Yancheng tomorrow. Except for the necessary goods purchased in Changsha City, Xia Jing decided to sell all other goods in Yancheng.
If she didn't sell it, Xia Jing was afraid that it would be difficult to travel on the road if it rained, and she was even more afraid that the rain would soak the goods, which would cause even greater losses.
You can still make some money by selling as much as you can in time!
The plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
In the evening, the sky became windy, and in early summer there was a north wind.
The captain of the guard rode up to the king's carriage, lowered his head and asked: "Your Majesty, seeing that the wind has turned, it may not rain tonight, but it will rain tomorrow morning. Should we continue on our way, or should we stop and rest?"
Recently, he was traveling at full speed, and all the bones in King Qian's body were almost broken. Now he was lying on the couch, enjoying the massage from the maid, and he was moaning in comfort.
When he heard the captain of the guard's question, he replied habitually without thinking: "My bones are almost falling apart. I need to find a place to rest!"
After a while, the team slowly stopped.
Xia Jing had been paying attention to the weather. When she saw the team stopped, she patted the wall of the car and asked, "What's going on? Why did the team stop?"
Hongmei lifted the curtain from the car and stretched her head in. "Princess, you can rest as mentioned earlier."
"Take a rest?! Give him a rest! Who gave the order!" Xia Jing shouted out the window: "Xiao Wu! Xiao Wu!"
"Mother, I'm here, what's going on?" Xiao Wu's figure appeared outside the car window.
"Let the team stay where they are, and you go and find the captain of the guard and Zeng Yan!"
Xia Jing once again looked at the big trees on the roadside that were rustling in the wind, and frowned tightly.
After waiting in the carriage for a while, I felt a little annoyed, so I grabbed the driver's whip and simply jumped out of the carriage.
"Princess, where are you going?" Hongmei saw Xia Jing walking forward, and she hurriedly followed her.
Xia Jing said nothing and walked forward with a stern face.
When she reached Wang's carriage, she knocked on the wall of the carriage with her riding whip.
"who?"
As he finished speaking, Anu's head stuck out from the car door.
He happened to meet Xia Jing's eyes with hidden anger, and he was frightened, "Prince, Princess, are you here to see the prince?"
