Chapter 159: You are the foundation of the city-state

Although Zhang Mengjie didn't say where to take her, Chen San knew that Zhang Mengjie was talking about another cave. He knew Zhang Mengjie's thoughts when he knew that they had brought their own food, but he hesitated: "We didn't know that you would come, and we didn't prepare at all." You've just arrived here, and you're not familiar with this place, so the grass people let them arrange your sleeping place first. Let some more women cook and eat. ”

Zhang Mengjie said: "They are the guardians of Dragon City, if they can't even solve their own lives, how can they protect the entire Dragon City?"

Others didn't know what Zhang Mengjie meant, but Chen San understood: "That lady came with the grass people."

The cave that Chen San said was really next door, Zhang Mengjie followed Chen San into the cave and found that there was a faint light inside, not the light emitted by oil lamps and candles, it was not early outside, obviously this light was natural light.

Zhang Mengjie had observed the surrounding areas that were not exposed, and the two caves were the same, so she couldn't tell where the light came from. Zhang Mengjie couldn't help but sigh that the image of nature was really wonderful.

Zhang Mengjie has never been a person who is not embarrassed by himself, and if he can't find a reason, he won't look for it, under the faint light, Zhang Mengjie saw a simple stove built at the edge of the cave, and there was a little dry firewood piled up at the mouth of the stove, and there was nothing on the stove except an oil lamp. There are a lot of pots and pans piled up next to the stove, which should be a lot of home stuff. Some of them show signs of rust and should have been useless for a long time.

Hearing the sound of water flowing, Zhang Mengjie walked a little further into the cave, and saw a stream of clear water flowing from the stone wall into a deep pool in the cave. This image makes one wonder if it is artificial.

After Zhang Mengjie learned about the situation here, she chose a relatively clean pot and took a rag and a brush to wash.

When Chen San saw it, he wanted to take the things from Zhang Mengjie's hand, but he didn't dare. can only say: "Queen Mother, this can't be helped!"

Zhang Mengjie said: "What's wrong, I'm ready to do anything here." I asked people to bring things, I know how to do it, Grandpa Chen used to ask people to bring us food, okay? ”

Chen San knew that he couldn't persuade Zhang Mengjie, so he listened to her and did it.

When Long Tingxiao entered the cave with food, he saw Zhang Mengjie washing pots and basins.

"Need help?"

Zhang Mengjie didn't expect that it was Long Tingxiao who came, anyway, there are no fresh vegetables to deal with now, and he just soaked the dried vegetables, since he asked, let him soak them.

"Except for the dried plum vegetables, soak the other dried vegetables in a clean basin."

"How much is a point?"

"A handful is pretty much it."

Long Tingxiao's hand is not small, and the dried vegetables swell after soaking. A handful is already a lot.

Long Tingxiao is not verbose. took Zhang Mengjie's clean spoon and basin, went to the deep pool to scoop a basin of water, and then scooped the water from this basin into another clean basin, and then grabbed a handful of dried vegetables and put them in.

Wait until the two of them wash the basin and the other make the vegetables. There is basically no light in the cave anymore.

Long Tingxiao lit the oil lamp with the fire fold he carried with him. There are several dried vegetables that are still easy to soak. With so many people, it is not easy to get food now. The key is that there is no staple food yet, so Zhang Mengjie re-chopped the soaked vegetables.

After a while, the two discover a serious problem, neither of them will start a fire.

When Mingyue Gongzi and Xiao Chengyi came in, they saw Long Tingxiao, who had a few black charcoal marks on his face at the mouth of the stove, trying to make a fire. But there was no fire.

The two couldn't help but laugh when they saw Long Tingxiao's funny appearance, but it didn't take long for them to know that they were laughing early.

Zhang Mengjie looked at the faces of the three of them and couldn't help but sigh, what about the pride of the sky, the genius of the world, and the capable people who dominate the party, some things are still very simple things that ordinary people can't do.

Later, Zhang Mengjie went over there to find Lu Deshun, and in just a few blinks of an eye, Lu Deshun lit a fire that the three of them couldn't light for a long time.

"Does the bright moon know what kind of illness that woman is born of?" Zhang Mengjie had long wanted to ask about the woman's illness in Mingyue Gongzi.

"It should be due to overwork. Seeing that she was restless, she still had some heart problems. Mingyue Gongzi said.

"Can it be healed?" Hearing that she was overworked, Zhang Mengjie thought of her mother.

"You only need to cultivate well when you are tired, and then take some tonic medicine to nourish your essence, and others can't help you with heart disease." Mingyue Gongzi said.

Zhang Mengjie knew that what Mingyue Gongzi said about heart disease meant heart disease. There are some things that can only be dealt with when you understand the situation, and now we should solve the problem first.

"Your Majesty, let the soldiers find a way to get some firewood back tomorrow." Zhang Mengjie said.

Long Tingxiao said: "How to burn the firewood that you get back in this weather?"

Zhang Mengjie said: "Take it back and find a way, this firewood will last for so many people until tomorrow at most, we can't leave here so quickly."

Zhang Mengjie saw that the water in the pot was boiling, and put all the cut dried vegetables into it, and said to Lu Deshun: "Lu Deshun, you go over there and call the people here to come and eat."

After Lu Deshun left the stove, Long Tingxiao went in. Zhang Mengjie was afraid that he would be stuffed with too much firewood later, so she blocked the stove and reminded: "Your Majesty, don't stuff too much firewood, just add two or three pieces at a time."

After about half an hour, Lu Deshun returned. Only Chen San came with him.

Chen San came in and said, "Queen Mother, we are all rough people who are used to being hungry, so let's eat!"

"Some people who want to be hungry, we have brought food all the way, and you know that it has not been burned for a long time, and you don't know how many days you have been hungry. That's all we have to offer, for better or worse, let's eat something first. Zhang Mengjie saw that Chen San was still a little unhappy and said: "Only with you can there be Dragon City, if there are no people, only soldiers and monarchs have Dragon City, what's the use?" You are the foundation of Dragon City! ”

Like themselves, they all felt that they were the lowest people, and half a foot had already stepped into the coffin, and today they realized that they were so important to the city.

"Go, go and call them over, those bowls haven't been washed yet, wait a minute, let them wash their own dishes and come back again." Zhang Mengjie knew that Chen San had already listened to her.

Under the leadership of Chen San, all the people in Wushan Village came over. They hadn't eaten for days, and when they smelled the food at the mouth of the cave, they gurgled and gurgled not in their stomachs but in their throats.

Holding the cleaned bowls one by one, they waited for Zhang Mengjie to give them to eat, and when they saw someone eating, the people who were still waiting screamed even louder.

Zhang Mengjie knew that what they were eating was basically tasteless, because there were no other seasonings in it except for the salty taste in the dish itself, but seeing that they ate one by one with relish, their hearts were also mixed. (To be continued.) )
