Chapter 147 Detoxification Grass
Upon learning that Shen Wan and others had returned safely, Hu Dahai ordered them to continue moving forward.
The weather is still very hot and the road is still bumpy.
But every time they went uphill, a group of convicts would come forward to help push the cart, so that the big black horse was too lazy to even push.
Looking at the sweat on their foreheads, Shen Wan felt a little sorry.
During the break, she made some iced sour plum soup and asked Hu Dahai to distribute it to everyone.
"Oh my God, how much does it cost you to buy so much ice?" Looking at those big buckets of sour plum soup, Hu Dahai couldn't help but smack his lips.
In the summer, ice is a luxury.
These big buckets of sour plum soup must have cost her a lot of money.
"Not much." Shen Wan smiled, "It's better than everyone getting a heat stroke."
Heatstroke requires taking medicine and affects his schedule, which is definitely not a good thing for Hu Dahai.
After hearing this, he couldn't help but look at her with a guilty look on his face: "Sister, these are things I should have considered."
"Look at you, you're being so formal again, aren't you?" Shen Wan smiled sweetly, "Since you've acknowledged me as your sister, you're not allowed to be polite anymore."
Hu Dahai's eyes turned red and he nodded vigorously.
Seeing Chen Wan distributing sour plum soup to everyone, the prisoners burst into tears of gratitude.
"Young Madam is such a good person."
"Yeah, we treated her so badly along the way, but she didn't care. In comparison, we are nothing."
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Xie Murong's face became more and more ugly.
Among everyone, Shen Wan gave her the most benefits.
All the rouge, powder, silks and satins were no worse than what she used when she was in the Duke's Mansion.
But Harley Quinn's kindness to her couldn't compare to a few sweet words from a scumbag!
Seeing that the little Virgin Mary was in a bad mood, Zhao came forward.
Zhao was a smart person. Ever since Shen Wan questioned the Third Prince about Rouge Rice, she guessed that this matter was definitely related to the little Virgin Mary.
Now that she is alone and weak in the exile team, she needs to win over Xie Murong.
"I know you're upset, but how can you be blamed for this?" Zhao sat down beside her, pretending to comfort her. "You were thinking about everyone else at the time, so you took on the bad reputation of a thief. You just didn't expect the bad guys to take advantage of you."
These words went straight to Xie Murong's heart.
But the Third Prince's lesson was right before her eyes, and she would never trust anyone again: "Theft is theft, no matter what my motive was, I was wrong."
Before she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
Zhao saw it and spat at her back in anger.
All of this happened to be seen by Shen Wan.
She thought about it, then called Hu Dahai over and said, "From now on, anything that belongs to me doesn't have to be given to Zhao's mother and son."
Hu Dahai nodded.
He carried the wooden barrel and walked towards Zhao deliberately.
"Mom, it's finally our turn!" Dabao's eyes lit up with excitement when he saw it.
Zhao was also very happy.
She hadn't had iced sour plum soup since leaving the Duke's Mansion, and she had almost forgotten what ice tasted like.
She quickly took out the bowl and excitedly handed it to Hu Dahai.
Hu Dahai didn't even look at her and walked right past her.
"Why is mine missing?" Zhao became anxious as soon as she saw it.
Ever since the little thing between her and Scarface was exposed, she has been willing to go all out.
Since you are already a fallen beauty, why bother pretending to be an elegant lady?
Hu Dahai didn't even look at her, and said coldly: "This is the young lady's stuff, do you still have the nerve to drink it?"
When Zhao heard this, she turned pale with anger.
"No, I want to drink it. I just want to drink sour plum soup!" Dabao saw this and started rolling on the ground. "If I don't drink sour plum soup, I won't leave today!"
Seeing Dabao crying again, Zhao felt heartbroken.
She thought about it, then walked towards the carriage with a thick face.
"Fifth brother, I know I have offended you." Zhao Shi did not even look at Shen Wan, but deliberately looked at Xie Mubai, "But no matter what, Dabao is your nephew, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"
"Let's not talk about anything else, just take Erbao for example. Qian wanted to kill you, but why would you rather give your things to that bitch's son than to Dabao?"
Xie Mubai didn't bother to look at Zhao.
He filled a spoonful of sour plum soup and handed it to Shen Wan's lips, saying lightly: "Because he has a shameless mother like you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao was so angry that she almost fainted.
She didn't understand what she had done wrong and why none of these people would let her go.
In order to survive, what other way does she have besides committing herself to a man?
At this time, Hu Dahai's voice urging them to set off came from the front.
Shen Wan drank the sour plum soup and smiled sweetly at the villain: "Sit tight, don't fall down later."
"Okay." Xie Mubai also smiled, his eyes full of doting.
Looking at the sweet couple, Zhao was almost going crazy with jealousy.
Why?
That ugly girl is as plain as salt, how could she become the adopted daughter of the old tutor and get the love of a man like Xie Mubai!
I am so beautiful, why don’t I have such good fortune?
"What are you doing here? Get out of here!"
Suddenly, a whip fell heavily on Zhao.
When I looked up, I saw Hu Dahai with a gloomy face and a ferocious look.
Zhao was startled and quickly picked up Dabao and hurried on.
After walking for a while, a shabby little village appeared in front of us.
At the entrance of the village, an old lady with patches all over her body was drying herbs under the scorching sun.
"Detoxification grass, twenty cents a plant!" the old woman shouted as she saw someone approaching. "With this, you can ward off miasma and successfully cross the poisonous miasma forest."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan's eyes lit up.
The poisonous forest is only a few miles away. I haven't figured out a solution yet, but I didn't expect to meet someone selling this!
She jumped out of the car and hurried forward.
Looking down, he saw a pile of unnamed herbs on a piece of blue rag, which were completely different from the detoxifying herbs he knew.
"Sister, don't believe her. Let's go." Hu Dahai stepped forward and said sullenly, "Most people in this village are liars."
"I was scammed when I left here last year. They said some kind of detoxifying herb, but it didn't work at all."
After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Seeing her frown, Hu Dahai comforted her, "We'll cover our mouths and noses with a towel, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"When Scarface was here, he would just use a towel dipped in water for us to cover ourselves."
"I remember it clearly. He was fetching water from this village."
There is no shortage of water here, as there is a small river not far away. But why did Scarface insist on going far away to fetch water from the village?
The more Shen Wan thought about it, the weirder it felt.
However, this village is very close to the poisonous forest, but these villagers can live here safely. Maybe they really know some secret recipe for detoxification.
But Hu Dahai had also bought herbs from here, but they were clearly fake!
She thought about it and picked up a herb from the ground.
However, the feel of this herb is a bit strange, as if it has a thin layer of patina.
As soon as she put the herb under her nose, Shen Wan looked at the old lady with a smile: "Auntie, when will this aged licorice be able to prevent miasma?"
The old lady stared at her intently, then laughed: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Licorice doesn't look like this."
"Really?" Shen Wan took out the bamboo tube and rinsed it with clean water.
The old lady's face changed immediately when she saw it.
"It really is licorice!" Hu Dahai saw it and couldn't help but feel furious. "Damn it! How dare you use low-quality licorice to pretend it's an antidote!"
"You know, if you do this, you'll kill a lot of people!"
Seeing Hu Dahai's unfriendly expression, the old lady's face suddenly changed.
"Someone come, someone is smashing the stall!" Her eyes tightened and she shouted at the top of her voice.
