Chapter 213 Walnut Chestnut (Second Update)
But why, she would have a kind of affection for that little lady.
It always felt like something was pressing on her heart, and there was a heavy feeling.
Jiang Zhiluo took a deep breath and didn't think much about it, but climbed the stone cave in the rock wall of the upper mountain from the bottom of the canyon.
When she entered the cave, she found that there was a cave inside.
The hole is not big, but it is spacious inside, with a stone bed and some wooden cabinets next to the stone bed.
Jiang Zhiluo opened it and saw that there was nothing in the cabinet.
But she knew it should have been inhabited.
It's just that a layer of dust has fallen on the ground, and the entrance to the cave is overgrown with grass and trees, so it can be seen that no one has been here for a long time.
"This place is suitable for people to hide in the mountains for a while."
Jian Yunci is right, once there is a war outside and the villagers resist, it will really be an egg hitting a stone.
It's better to protect yourself and come out when it's too peaceful outside.
Anyway, as long as there is food, you can hide for a long time in the deep mountains and old forests.
Having found such a place, Jiang Zhiluo was satisfied and nodded.
And there is water here, and there is a wide flat area next to the canyon where you can cut down wood and build wooden houses.
I just hope that I won't fight for a year, and in winter, there is no hot kang, and it is very cold to stay in a wooden house.
Jiang Zhiluo observed, and then walked around, turning around, to see if there was any food.
After turning around, Jiang Zhiluo found a lot of vegetables.
The jujube tree and apricot tree were also found in the mountain, but neither the jujube nor the apricot was ripe.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhiluo found some walnut trees and chestnut trees.
Although the chestnuts and walnuts are ripe in autumn, the chestnuts and walnuts that were ripe last year have fallen to the ground, and they have been dried in the wind and sun, and they are just right to eat.
Jiang Zhiluo picked up the walnuts on the ground and chiseled the outer shell with a stone, and the walnuts inside were still fine.
There are also chestnuts, because they are ripe and dried, and the thorny shells on the outside are also cracked, revealing the chestnuts inside.
Seeing so many walnuts and chestnuts, Jiang Zhiluo first put some in the back basket.
Seeing these walnuts and chestnuts, Jiang Zhiluo was very happy.
Because a lot of food flashed in her mind.
"Walnuts can be used to make porridge, and some can be put in when making bread."
"There are also chestnuts, which can be made into sugar fried chestnuts."
There are so many chestnuts, Jiang Zhiluo put some in the back basket, but she couldn't put them in the back basket, so she put them in the space again.
"So much, you can make more sugar-fried chestnuts, and you can sell them when you set up a stall."
Seeing that it was really dark, Jiang Zhiluo could only get up and go home first.
There are so many, on her own, she can't pick them up in one night.
When I went home with the basket on my back, I just walked to the edge of the mountain forest and saw Cui Hejin carrying a lantern and preparing to enter the mountain.
"Choi He-jin!"
Jiang Zhiluo was slightly surprised when she saw him.
It would be dark, and in the light of the oil lamp, he looked even more picturesque.
Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo was fine, Cui Hejin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright?"
Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”
"Have you encountered a beast?"
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "I didn't see it." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiluo is also a little strange.
If she sees a wild beast, such as a bison or a boar, she can hunt it and go home.
Cui Hejin reached out and gently helped Jiang Zhiluo remove the grass and wood debris from her hair, with gentle movements.
"Well, it's fine."
"My mother has already made dinner, let's go home first."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
Just as she was about to walk forward, Cui Hejin reached out and pressed her shoulder and said, "I'll carry the basket." ”
Jiang Zhiluo instinctively wanted to refuse, Cui Hejin said: "My body is already much better, I will do all this strength." ”
He was really reluctant to let Jiang Zhiluo carry so many things and be tired.
Jiang Zhiluo also knew that Cui Hejin's health was almost good now, but it would take time for the meridians and internal forces to be repaired, but her body was fine.
The medicine boiled for him used a supernatural energy, which was of great help to his body, and the repair speed was very fast.
Jiang Zhiluo gave the basket to Cui Hejin.
Cui Hejin on his back.
The two of them went down the mountain to their home, and Jiang Zhiluo explained: "I saw some chestnuts and walnuts on the mountain, and I just picked some back. ”
"Walnuts can be used to make porridge, and they can also be put in when making bread."
"Chestnuts can also be made into sugar-fried chestnuts."
After the conditions at home were good, Jiang Zhiluo was willing to buy some condiments.
Including sugar.
There is a lot of sugar at home, which can be used to make chestnuts.
However, you can't put too much, Mrs. Cui is not suitable for eating too much sweetness.
"Good work."
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No." ”
"I saw Mrs. Jian and Mr. Jian today, and I earned thirty taels of silver."
If it was just a medical visit, she wouldn't ask for so much silver.
But there is also a surgical ability healing, so it's worth thirty taels.
"Madame Jane wants to give me a hundred taels of silver, I didn't ask for that much, I only took thirty taels of silver, do you think I took less?"
Cui Hejin shook his head and said, "No, just act according to your heart." ”
Jiang Zhiluo chattered to Cui Hejin about going to Jane's house.
also said what Jian Yunci said.
"So I went up the mountain in the afternoon to have a look, thinking that it would be safer if I hid in the deep mountains and old forests."
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and felt that he was such a son-in-law, was he unwilling to dodge.
After a pause, Jiang Zhiluo said, "If there is really a war, will you be willing to go to the mountains to take refuge?" ”
Cui Hejin said softly: "Where you and your mother are, I will be there." ”
"Do you feel so greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Cui Hejin lowered his head and looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a gentle expression, and said, "Fool, the situation is like this, only by surviving can you do more." ”
As if thinking of something, Cui Hejin said softly: "That year, after the abolition of the crown prince, my grandfather and my father and many loyal ministers advised the emperor, they were not greedy for life and afraid of death, but because of their advice, they were ordered by the emperor to be deposed and imprisoned. ”
"The prison of the Criminal Department, they were all tortured."
Jiang Zhiluo's face changed, "Why are you tortured?" ”
"They are loyal ministers, even if the emperor insists on going his own way, he should not kill all these loyal ministers."
Cui Hejin said: "Today's emperor is suspicious, and no one trusts him. ”
"And he was a little stubborn, he felt that those courtiers were disobeying him and rebelling against him."
"So he wants to use torture to make loyal ministers confess their crimes and put on trumped-up charges, so as to preserve his reputation."
"The emperor has killed too many loyal ministers, so that now those officials in the court, there are very few officials who really do things for the people, and most of them only care about their own interests."
"You see, they are not afraid of death, but they were still killed by the emperor."
Jiang Zhiluo said: "What kind of person was the original prince? ”
Jiang Zhiluo was a little curious, so many loyal ministers didn't want the prince to be deposed, she was curious about what kind of person the prince was who was supported by so many loyal ministers.
In the past two days, the code words have been so slow, and the two more have been served.
