Chapter 10: The Broken Temple (1)
Grabbing something, the clansmen were busy giving medicine to the wounded. Du Ruozhen also squeezed to the patriarch to see the materials harvested today.
Du Ruoli avoided everyone's sight and entered the space.
The baby in the space clenches its little fists and sleeps in a W shape. Du Ruoli let her fall asleep first, went to the kitchen and got a cream meat floss bread, and went out to look at the crops while nibbling on it.
There are four days in the world, and twelve days have passed in space. The seedlings of the fruit trees are all alive, and they are growing strong. A few large seedlings bloom beautiful flowers, filling the space with fragrance.
Rice and wheat have sprouted, green patches.
The radish seedlings and cabbage seedlings are already half a finger long, so they can be eaten intermittently.
For the time being, you can plant something under the seedlings of the fruit tree, and the pear is sprinkled with strawberry seeds, broccoli seeds, cucumber seeds, and tomato seeds.
After finishing this, I went back to the house and drank a glass of milk and ate a plate of beef in sauce. Seeing that there was not much left of the sauced beef I made before, I took three catties of beef tendons and stewed them in an electric pressure cooker.
It's been almost two hours since the baby last fed and she wakes her up with a diaper change to feed her.
Outside, the eight messengers who escorted more than 300 people of the Du clan sat together and talked.
Zhang Da, who had a beard on his face and a meaty face, said: "Boss, these forty taels of silver, and something, let's ......."
The leader of the errand was a shrewd and capable middle-aged man named Ji Tong. Hearing this, he waved his hand: "I can't help it, these poor ghosts only have this little bit of family background, and they will find us desperately if they don't have it." We can't afford to risk forty taels of silver. ”
"Wouldn't that cheapen them? Brother, I have sent prisoners for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen such a poor person. If you don't take it now, you really have nothing, are you willing? ”
"You know what! There is money and there is money, and there is no money and there is no money. Put your heart in your stomach, as long as you let these people live, Ji will definitely bring you rich. Walking back and forth for six thousand miles, putting your brain on the waistband of your pants, who will do it if it is no good? ”
Zhang Da has followed him for many years and has always been convinced of him. Assured, no more talking.
Others, including Li Jianming, who participated in the escort mission for the first time, didn't say anything about this matter, but talked about something else.
Du Ruoli came out of the space, and the team showed no signs of departure.
It stayed for two quarters of an hour before the trek began.
When they set off again, the mental state of the team became different, no longer lifeless, as if there was some hope.
The speed of his feet increased, and he reached his destination at the same time as usual.
The patriarch said, use the things found in the search to add food at night, so don't you have to go faster?
When they arrived at the resting place, in a deserted and ruined temple, the tribesmen fetched water, collected firewood, and lit fire.
The women became the absolute main force, and the kitchen knives danced vigorously, cutting the bacon into small slices as thin as cicada wings, and frying the fat in the iron pan, and the fragrance wafted five miles away.
Wu Yueniang's knife work is average, and she didn't have a turn to cut vegetables, so she was assigned to wash rice and cook rice. Du Ruoli tied her sister behind her, leaned over to watch the excitement, and quietly added three catties of millet to the wooden basin.
It's not that she is reluctant to add more, it's that she originally only had five catties of millet, and it's easy to wear it if she adds more.
Wu Yueniang didn't notice her small movements, lifted a bucket of water and poured it into the wooden basin, squatted down and scratched her nose and said, "Hungry, right?" I'll eat it later. Give your sister to Ruoqiu and take it with you. Go outside with Sister A-Ying and sister-in-law to see if you can find something to eat and come back. ”
"Holo." Du Ruoli stood up and went to the place where she put her luggage to find Du Ruoqiu.
Du Ruoqiu lives in the wing room next to the main hall, this wing room is not big, barely squeezing out the Du Ruoli sisters, Du Ruoying's mother and daughter and Du Ruoqiu's daughter, with a small baby, a total of eight people.
Du Ruoqiu was young, and she was frightened by Hongguo's incident last night, so she was arranged to watch her niece in the house.
At this time, the little niece fell asleep on the bunk, and she sat on the side and played straw sandals.
Children from poor families are not entitled to rest.
When Du Ruoli entered the door, she stood up and took over Xiao Ruoyu, swayed it gently, and said in an angry voice: "Sister Ali, don't worry, go and find something, I will look at Xiao Yu'er, it will be fine." ”
Du Ruoli touched the top of her head, turned around and went out, catching up with Du Ruoying and Zhou Daya, who had not gone far.
Their goal is Houshan, and there are already many people in Houshan. Du Ruoli stood on her tiptoes, looked around, pointed to the backyard of the temple and said, "Let's go there and have a look." ”
The two people on the other side looked puzzled, and Du Ruoli explained: "Didn't you hear from the messengers, this temple used to be very prosperous. A red-hot temple cannot be without a cellar where things are hidden. I've looked for the front yard, but no, it's in the backyard. ”
"I see!"
"So what are you waiting for?"
The two of them turned around and strode towards the backyard.
"Wait for me!" Du Ruoli hurriedly followed.
The backyard is overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, and in the darkness, it looks particularly eerie. Du Ruoying and Zhou Daya were so frightened that their legs were weak and they didn't dare to take a step forward.
Du Ruoli picked up a few stones on the ground and threw them into the yard from different directions. The stones fell to the ground, no animals were alarmed, and the yard was not dangerous.
Du Ruoli walked towards the middle of the courtyard with a torch: "You two are waiting outside, I'll go in and have a look." ”
"I can't let you go alone, the three of us together." Zhou Daya pulled up Du Ruoying, who was trembling with fright, and hurriedly followed.
Du Ruoli supports his forehead. It's all up to you, how can you smuggle things?
But more than that, she was moved, these two were obviously afraid to die, but they didn't mean to leave her alone.
There was no time to find the cellar, Du Ruoli squatted on the ground, quickly transported a pile of food, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Come on, there is food here." ”
The two of them trotted over, and when they saw something on the ground, their eyes straightened.
The fragrant ham meat, a layer of fat and a layer of red and bright lean meat, the fat is two fingers thick, and the oily ones can't wait to add a bite, and they are placed in three squares.
A bag of golden buttery bright millet is about seven or eight catties.
The wheat noodles that exude the fragrance of wheat have no wheat bran at all, and there is a whole bag.
Round cakes covered with sesame seeds and baked until browned, a total of nine.
Plus a small bag of sesame seeds, a small bag of walnut kernels, and a small bag of brown sugar.
"Quick, pick it up in the basket. Whatever was casually thrown in the yard, no one would have asked for it, and we would have been fine if we took it. Du Ruoli reminded them.
Zhou Daya pulled her eyes out of the food with difficulty, and shook her head vigorously: "You found the thing, it should be yours, I don't want it." ”
Du Ruoying didn't dare to speak, for fear that the bag of saliva wrapped in her mouth would come out, so she shook her head and said no.
The familiar plot came again, Du Ruoli didn't want to talk nonsense, so she divided the things into three and filled them with a copy in each basket: "I don't want to break the rules, I will share it together if I say it's good." ”
As he spoke, he held a torch in one hand and a basket in the other, and got up and walked out.
The two nerds in the back, after a long pause, also stood up and followed.
