At this moment, Hu's mood suddenly soared from the ground to the sky.

The feeling of regaining what she had lost made her unable to control herself, and she hugged Ji Changying tightly: "You are really my sweetheart! Ah Ying did a great job!"

Ji Fengyi rarely showed his emotions and laughed for a moment.

Only Ji Fengshou had a bitter face.

This is the money he saved with great effort!

"Aying, that money..."

As soon as Ji Fengshou opened his mouth, Hu let go of Ji Changying and took the money to organize it.

"Counting my family's 150 taels, and the money my sister-in-law and Ah Ying gave us, the total here is less than 300 taels. If our whole family saves a little, we can definitely reach Liangzhou!"

Holding the money, Mrs. Hu was full of energy and spoke to the whole family with confidence.

Ji Fengshou swallowed all the unfinished words.

It's obvious that this money will never be returned.

Seeing Qian's peace of mind, Ji Fengyi said something and took the men in his family to a meeting with the clan leader.

I don’t know whether I was stimulated or had no choice but to accept the reality.

Ji Changying found that even the group of people in Beijing had become much quieter.

When they set out again during the day, the people in Lotus Village had regained some of their spirits.

As usual, it was a day without food, and everyone had to find a way to make ends meet.

But when Ji Changying set out on the road that day, she was accompanied by many girls from the village who were about her age.

"Aying, do you think that's edible?"

Xing'er, who was beside him, pulled Ji Changying and pointed at a weed in the field next to them and asked in a low voice.

Ji Changying glanced at it and said, "Crabgrass improves eyesight and moistens lungs. It's usually used as horse feed, no one eats it."

"Okay." Xing'er looked disappointed.

I used to see Ji Changying always picking weeds and eating them on the roadside, and I thought they were everywhere on the roadside.

As a result, I didn't find any edible wild vegetables the whole day, and I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Ji Changying reached out to pull the crabgrass, and the girls who watched were stunned for a moment: "Isn't this inedible?"

"Although we can't eat it, we can eat it on the horses of the officials. We can pluck some and send it over."

Ji Changying blinked and looked at them.

The girls were all around fourteen years old and understood some of the ways of the world.

After hearing this, they immediately reacted and started pulling out the weeds.

At noon, all the grass was handed over to Ji Fengshou, who was asked to give it to the yamen runners.

Otherwise, if they all go, the purpose will be too obvious.

Ji Fengshou lived up to everyone's expectations and delivered the grass.

Seeing the officers collect the grass, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene was seen by a group of people in Beijing, and most of them looked disdainful.

But this time he didn't say anything unpleasant.

In the evening, Ji Changying did not find any suitable wild vegetables, but he saw patches of low oak trees.

The scientific name of the acorn tree is Quercus or Oak, a plant of the Fagaceae family, an evergreen tree.

The wood is solid and heavy. Large trees can be used as pillars, while small trees are excellent charcoal materials.

Unprocessed acorns taste average, but they are high in starch and can satisfy hunger.

Ji Changying stopped and said, "I found something to eat!"

When Xing'er, Xiaoqin and other girls heard this, they immediately showed surprise on their faces: "Where is it?"

Ji Changying pointed to the oak forest on the hill not far away: "That one, the acorn tree, the fruits on it can be eaten as dry food!"

Acorn? What is an acorn?

The place where Lotus Village originally lived had never seen this, but it didn’t matter.

As long as Aying says it’s edible, then it’s definitely edible!

"As long as it's edible, shall we go over there now?" Xing'er glanced in the direction of the officers and saw that they were not paying attention to this side. She looked at Ji Changying eagerly.

Without Aying taking the lead, she was a little hesitant.

"OK!"

After saying this, Ji Changying ran towards the oak forest.

Xing'er, Xiaoqin and other girls followed tentatively, but they didn't even look at the yamen runners.

I immediately started picking excitedly according to Ji Changying's instructions.

Acorns are not big and have prickly thorns at the roots, so they cannot be picked quickly.

No matter how anxious they were, the seven or eight girls didn't pick the fruits for long before they had to leave.

"You go first, I'll break off a branch and catch up with you right away." Ji Changying wanted to secretly collect some things into the space.

The weather is getting colder, so we need to prepare not only clothes but also something to keep warm.

These trees can be saved and burned into charcoal.

"Okay, we'll wait for you out front!"

Seeing them walking away, Ji Changying collected all the trees nearby, then broke off a thick branch full of acorns and carried it as he caught up with them.

When they saw her carrying branches back, some people looked at her with contempt, while others envied her.

Some people looked at her with malicious eyes. Ji Changying quickly followed the line of sight and met the gazes of Ji Ruolin's family, which they had no time to look away.

The anger and hatred on Ji Ruolin's face were not concealed at all.

After being thrown away by Zhou last time, Ji Ruolin was in so much pain that she could hardly move.

Until now, I can only walk by relying on others’ backs.

If she had to say that the family she hated the most before was Ji Chenyan's family, now Ji Changying and her daughter have been added to the list.

Seeing Ji Changying looking over, she glared back fiercely.

Ji Luyuan sneered and looked at Ji Changying with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Ji Changying picked up a stone from the ground and crushed it casually, staring at Ji Luyuan.

His expression changed and he quickly turned his head away.

A group of girls suppressed their inner joy and picked acorns silently, no one spoke.

night.

Zhang Ziwei had just said he was going to rest when the girls who had picked acorns today came over exhausted and asked, "Aying, what kind of acorns did you pick today? How do you eat them?"

"This is called an acorn. Conditions are limited right now, so you can eat it directly or cook it."

"Okay! Thank you! I'll ask my mother to cook it for me when I get home!"

After saying this, these people went home excitedly.

That night, the cook on the official's side was busy as a whirlwind, with smiles all over his face.

Sun Fan ordered people to cut off the food supply, and the effect of this tactic gradually became apparent.

After two days of interruption, almost everyone could not bear it anymore, and most of them automatically ran to the officials to buy food.

As a result, the officers whipped their soldiers less frequently in the past two days.

Many people have gone to bed at night.

Ji Luyuan saw Sun Fan get up and go to the woods to urinate, and immediately followed him.

Sun Fan just turned around and saw Ji Luyuan walking towards him. His face darkened: "What do you want to do!"

Ji Luyuan immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Sir, I saw you enter the forest and wanted to ask if there was anything I could help you with."

"What's the matter? Can you help me pull up my pants while I pee?" Sun Fan had a playful smile on his face.

Don’t these prisoners in Beijing think they are superior and always look down on us, the escorts?
