Chapter 18 You must give us food
The exiled team continued to move forward, and the disappearance of a square pillar did not attract much attention.
Chen Qing and the others pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the exiles who heard about the incident last night didn't dare to say anything, so that the officials who knew Fang Dazhu suspected that Fang Dazhu couldn't endure hardships and ran back.
That's the end of it.
Shen Ru didn't talk about it with her family, but at noon that day, a woman with a face ran up to her.
"Miss Shen, save me, save my child."
"Who are you!" In broad daylight, Shen Ru really didn't recognize who this woman was.
Unkempt and unkempt, as most of the women here are.
"I am the woman you saved from the official mission that night, I am Xu Ding, my mother-in-law is your father's aunt, and my husband is the fourth son of the Xu family."
Shen Ru was a little dizzy, she knew too well who the nine clans of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion were.
Shen Yan on the side listened to it and helped Shen Ru explain:
"My aunt has passed away for nearly 20 years, and my uncle of the Xu family married Xu Xian again, and my father was very angry at the time, so he broke off contact."
No wonder she doesn't remember such a relative!
"What do you want me to help you?"
Shen Ru couldn't help asking.
"Miss Shen, they all said that you have food, you can give me some alms, my child is only six years old, and he is hungry."
Xu Ding cried and said, "If you don't have anything to eat, Xianggong...... The Xiang Guild will push me out again. ”
Shen Ru was speechless, what kind of man is this?!
"Aru, then give her all the steamed buns we have allocated."
Shen Yan said that they did not lack this steamed bun.
Xu Ding was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little surprised.
Shen Yan beckoned Shen's mother and Aunt Lian to bring the steamed buns.
"Steamed buns?" Xu Dingshi looked at almost a dozen steamed buns, a little surprised, and didn't pick them up.
Shen Ru saw the problem, so he asked:
"What's wrong with the steamed buns, aren't you hungry, the steamed buns are hungry."
"But...... But they all say that you have a lot of food here, steamed buns...... Steamed buns, we also have them! ”
Xu Ding's voice became softer and softer, and finally lowered his head.
Shen Ru was speechless, if she really needed food, she gave it!
But the rest is exchanged for real money, not that you are weak, you should take it for nothing.
"Steamed buns either, if you don't want it, we keep it for ourselves."
Shen Ru saw that Xu Ding didn't take it, so he added.
"Steamed buns, steamed buns still don't want them!"
Xu Ding said, turning around and leaving decadently.
Shen Ru and his parents exchanged glances, this hungry person is still so picky!
Xu Ding's family was a little far away from Shen Ru and them, and Shen Ru didn't care about what happened later.
"Be energetic, hurry up, if you delay the lodging station any longer, you won't have good fruit to eat!"
The official shouted at the exile to hurry up.
At noon the next day, near where the group stopped to rest, there was a tidal flat.
Shen Ru rose up and greeted Chen Qing.
"Lord Chen, can we go fishing? There should be fish on this large river beach! ”
"Fish?" Chen Qing sneered, "Miss Shen is lonely and unheard, it hasn't rained in this area for three months, see, this river was originally in this location, and now it's almost to the end." ”
"Lord Chen, there is no fish, there may be other things, today's steamed buns, there is no hair!"
Shen Ru said, "It's good to let everyone go down to the river and touch something by themselves!" ”
Yesterday, at the post station, the joint said that the court did not allocate much money, and there was no rain in this jurisdiction for almost three months, and the people suffered a lot of losses, and the schedule for the next ten days could only be used for their official errands.
These nearly 800 exiles, just eat some bark, roots, etc., in short, don't starve to death!
"Don't talk about today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I won't have anything to eat for the next ten days, but if I want to come to you, Miss Shen, I shouldn't be hungry."
Chen Qing deliberately revealed that he just wanted to see how many things Shen Ru had here.
"Why?"
Shen Ru was shocked, although she had heard such a rumor before, didn't she keep giving steamed buns a few days ago?
"You have also seen that there is a drought here, taxes have been reduced, and the imperial treasury has tightened, as for you, ......"
"The life of a wanderer is not a fate, is it!"
Shen Ru understood.
"Then let everyone rest on the spot, how tired it is to walk all morning!"
"Everyone else is tired, but your Shen family is not tired, aren't you?"
Chen Qing asked rhetorically.
"If you want to go to the tidal flats, you can go, except for wasting your strength, there will be no gain."
Chen Qing has money, but he has no land to spend, so he can only gnaw on dry steamed buns, and he is quite angry when he sees Shen Ru's family.
With Chen Qing's words, Shen Ru said hello to his family and immediately ran towards the tidal flats.
"Aru, be careful!" Mother Shen immediately shouted, what good things are there in this tidal flat!
Shen Ru took the lead, and some other exiles saw this, and they heard the official say that they would rest for a stick of incense, and they all went to the tidal flat.
There really aren't any fish left, but Shen Ru saw shrimp, wild shrimp!
"In this small puddle, there is this kind of river freshness, it's really good!"
Hey, what is it?
Shen Ru saw another river mussel, half in the mud and half exposed in the air.
I'm still alive!
Shen Ru picked up the mussel and found that it was still wriggling, she was happy in her heart, this thing, sprinkle some salt, cooking wine, chopped green onions, minced garlic, it is definitely delicious!
There was no one around, so Shen Ru immediately received all these things into the space.
"It's her, she's the eldest lady of the Shen family."
Behind him, the voices of several women were heard.
Shen Ru turned around and saw Shen Ping, as well as Xu Ding, and some unfamiliar faces.
"Shen Ru, we are all implicated by your family, it was Marquis An who colluded with King Jing to rebel, why can you and your family live so well, we have to suffer."
Shen Ping was the first to complain.
"As much food you have brought, you should give it to us."
"Yes, Shen Ru, we were all killed by your family."
One, two, three...... Shen Ru counted the number of people, it was not easy, Shen Ping actually brought eight people over, what's the matter, these eight people can't get used to themselves?
"Oh, you mean, the food I bought with my money should be given to you?"
Shen Ru sneered, "What's the matter, it's just whether you're hungry or thick-skinned?" ”
"Shen Ru, I'm your cousin, you don't even help your own people, it can be seen how ruthless you are."
Shen Ping complained, "You must hand over what you eat, otherwise you will ......"
"How else?"
Shen Ru sneered, "Do you want to beat me in groups?" ”
"Miss Shen, for you, it's just some food, but for us it's a lifesaver!"
Xu Ding said, "If you don't give us food, we can only do it to you." ”
"Hands-on? You guys? ”
Shen Ruqi smiled, "My things, I can give them to whoever I like, no one wants to grab them, come on, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time!" ”
