Chapter 36: Survival

"Shiziβ€”"

Zheng Cunyan ran over from the woods, completely unaware that a thrilling storm had just happened in the woods.

"Hey, everyone's here, it's so lively. Hey, Sister Muzhi is here too? ”

Zheng Cunyan saw Chen Muzhi at a glance, immediately ignored others and ran to Chen Muzhi.

"Obviously, I told you in the morning that Muzhi is ......coming," Zheng Cunfang said dissatisfied.

"Oh, really?" Zheng Cunyan looked ignorant, lowered his head and thought about it, before he woke up like a dream, "Ah yes, yes, the third sister said that Sister Muzhi is coming today." ”

He seemed to be very satisfied with his memory, and said to Zheng Cunfang: "You also said that Sister Muzhi will come later, and she will come every day, right?" ”

Zheng Cunfang couldn't cry or laugh: "My second brother, who is smart enough to study, what dishes he eats every day, if you ask him after eating, you must not remember." ”

"This is Cunyan's way of concentration, and we have distractions, so I can't read as much as him."

It was Wei Xu again, unhurried, and his language was gentle, and he relieved Zheng Cunyan in a few words.

Zheng Cunyan didn't care, and said to Wei Xu: "I'm just talking to Mr. about the Tao, and you will disappear." It's easy to find me. ”

"I came to watch Brother Cunxi and Sister Muzhi practice swordsmanship, the master has a good move, it's really enjoyable." Wei Xu said.

"But you don't know martial arts, Shizi? How can you tell if they are masters or not? Zheng Cunyan looked ignorant again.

"I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run." Chen Muzhi spoke.

Even if she was well-read, she couldn't listen to Zheng Cunyan's nerdy remarks, and directly "smothered" Zheng Cunyan with the most vulgar market slang.

Wei Xu raised his eyebrows, but he was still smiling, talking to Zheng Cunyan while walking out of the garden.

It is also strange to say that the cramps in Chen Muzhi's heart disappeared at some point.

She looked at Wei Xu's upright back, and quietly covered her heart several times, but she didn't get back the feeling of heartache.

What's going on?

Could it be that the abrupt move just now scared me so much that I forgot how to feel heartache?

When everyone walked out of the garden, Zheng Cunfang saw that Chen Muzhi had been staring at Wei Xu's back, and covered his heart from time to time, muttering a little in his heart.

She tugged at Chen Muzhi's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Muzhi, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"Nope." Chen Muzhi came back to his senses, knowing that he was always looking at Wei Xu, after all, he had traces, and he no longer concealed his concern for him at the moment, and asked, "Why is the prince here?" ”

Zheng Cunfang said: "The current gentleman in our house used to be the teacher of the prince, so the prince often came to visit, and occasionally listened to the lectures with the second brother. ”

"I see." Chen Muzhi nodded, "I can invite the gentleman who taught Shizi to my home, I think it was my grandmother's mother who took it upon herself." ”

"That's nature. You also know that grandmother easily doesn't make a move, but whenever she opens her mouth, she will give her a few thin noodles. ”

That's exactly what happened.

The opening should also be used on the blade.

Wei Xu was reserved, although the Zheng family also left him to eat, Wei Xu still said goodbye politely.

Of course, as noble as Wei Xu, even if he says goodbye, he is worthy of serving as a topic for half an hour at the Zheng family's luncheon.

Such as the unfinished marriage between Wei Xu and Chen Muxi, such as Prince Yi has now become the regent......

Wait a minute!

Chen Muzhi's heart moved, Prince Yi became the regent? Could it be that Emperor Hongchang's body is not as good as before? Otherwise, how could he set up a regent in a good manner.

Prince Yi's branch, the last three generations, are all loyal to the monarch of the society, the emperor has changed a few, and Prince Yi's mansion has also been hereditary for three generations, but there has never been a power center.

In the Hongchang Dynasty, all the affairs of the cabinet were led by university scholars, but the real center of power was in the cardinal. Prince Yi is the chief of the cardinal office, and the rest of the cabinet scholars, plus the king of Yujun and several princes, share the responsibility of the cardinal.

It is precisely because Prince Yi's party has been in the center of the empire for hundreds of years that its roots are all over the field and its strength is outstanding.

Not only did he win the trust of the emperor, but no one in the court dared to shake it.

However, even though Prince Yi has a transcendent position under one person and above ten thousand, the court has never blown the wind of "regent". Chen Muzhi secretly thought that he went to the sea for a turn, and this situation seemed to have changed drastically.

However, the Zheng family is also a family in the end, and with such an identity as an old lady, she will not make taboos at the dinner table.

But Zheng Cunyan is naΓ―ve.

"Sister Kieda, how did you get out of the ship?"

This paragraph, Chen Muzhi remembers.

"I had never seen the sea, and when I heard that my father was out to sea to fight, I quietly followed. I took a soldier captive on the way, changed his clothes, and by the time my father found me, I was already at sea. ”

The old lady looked at her deeply, but did not interrupt.

Zheng Cunyan asked again: "I heard that the sailor encountered a monstrous wave, and they all thought that the command ship disappeared in the huge wave and must have sunk to the bottom of the sea." But I also heard that when the fishermen found your ship later, it was safe. So where did you go in the intervening months? ”

This is a question that has been asked many times in the Sailor Yamen, but Chen Muzhi really can't answer.

She shook her head, "I don't even remember the big wave. The implication is that I don't remember anything else.

However, Zheng Cunxi also had a lot of doubts, and said: "Sister Muzhi thought that she was frightened at sea. These unpleasant experiences are just not asked. But Sister Kieda, I'm also curious, how did you spend the days before the fishermen found you? ”

This question Chen Muzhi will.

"I remember dying of thirst and I couldn't drink the seawater. There is not a drop of fresh water left on the ship, and guess what I survived? ”

Even Zheng Cunfang became curious: "Do you eat raw fish?" ”

Chen Muzhi smiled: "Relying on my three-legged cat kung fu to fish in the sea is almost delusional." ”

"So what exactly are you eating?" Zheng Cunyan looked at her seriously, waiting for an answer.

"Dry food is available, but there is no fresh water." Chen Muzhi said, "I was so thirsty that I collapsed, I just felt that my eyes were blurred, and I thought to myself, I will never see my grandmother again, I will never see Cunfang again, so I will cry ......."

"Ah, do you eat your own tears?"

Zheng Cunfang's question made everyone laugh.

"Tears are also salty, how can you eat them." Zheng Cunxi shouted.

Even the old lady couldn't help it, and scolded with a smile: "Mu Zhi, this girl, is still used to talking nonsense to make me happy." When it comes to business, it's nonsense. ”

"It's really not, grandmother." Chen Muzhi shouted injustice.

"However, when I cried, I really cried and came up with an idea."

"Huh?"

"The tears were hot and salty, and I suddenly remembered that I had ...... My sister is not in good health, and the vine flowers often use small clay pots to simmer medicine. The medicine boiled until it boiled, and the water vapor condensed on the lid of the crockpot, dripping a lot of small droplets. ”

Zheng Cunxi's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, you want to condense water vapor, there is no salt in the water vapor!" ”

"That's right. There's a room on the ship, and there's everything in it. I made a fire, boiled the seawater in a pot, and collected the water that was condensed on the lid, enough for me to drink alone. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Chen Muzhi to survive in such a way after drifting on the sea for several months.
