Chapter 53 Being Isolated
His face turned pale, and Shen Jinan felt a little gloating, as that family finally stopped bullying him.
"Here you go." Shen Jinan took out a candy and handed it to Gu Yanqing.
It’s too painful to take medicine every day to regulate your body.
Then he began to take out candied fruits and various snacks for children from the space and distributed them to Suisui and Huanhuan.
Gu Yanqing looked at the candy in his hand for a long time, his eyes deep.
In the end, I couldn't bear to eat it and put it in my arms.
The sweet and loving appearance of their family made Shen Xitang grit her teeth.
She was so leisurely, causing their family to get beaten up, but here she was flirting with a man. How shameless!
"We used to be able to rest at the post station every time. Could it be that someone said something to Commander Lin that made him change his mind?"
After Commander Lin issued this order, they all complained.
Shen Xitang was extremely angry when he said this.
She cried so hard that some of the exiled people believed her and followed her in cursing Shen Jinan.
"No way? How dare you believe what such a person says?" They all watched how Shen Xitang slandered Shen Jinan on the street that day. Now she is using the same trick again, and some people can't stand it anymore.
"What does this mean?"
"It's just some people's quibbling." After being exposed, Shen Xitang was angry and glared at them, warning them not to meddle in other people's business.
But the woman couldn't stand her: "Why are you glaring? Glaring won't change the fact that you're an ungrateful person. You keep slandering your own savior. I don't know which is thicker, your face or the city wall."
Shen Xitang was so angry that she rushed up and started fighting with her.
Now everyone in the exile group knew about Shen Xitang's deeds.
Whenever people saw her, they would stay away from her and would not believe a word she said.
When the news reached Shen Jinan's ears, she was fiddling with the grapes in her hand.
Two days ago, when the team was taking a break, she was pleasantly surprised to discover a grape tree.
It was the season when grapes were ripe, and there was no way to replenish dry food along the way, so she brought the women of the exile team to pick grapes.
She thought to herself that it was what she deserved and put it out of her mind.
Looking at the bunch of grapes in her hand, Li Chunhua felt a sour taste in her mouth: "Mrs. Gu, this thing you have is not tasty, it's very sour!"
When Liu Feng interrogated her at the post station, she was the one who testified together with Lu Nianqing.
She had seen these grapes on the roadside before and thought they were some kind of fruit, but they turned out to be sour and astringent.
"This one is ripe, you can try it."
When the grapes were handed to them, the women waved their hands and did not dare to taste them.
Shen Jinan had no choice but to pull one, peel it, and put it in his mouth, eating it in front of them: "It's quite sweet, would you like to try it?"
During this time, she led everyone to search for food along the way. The further they went, the less food there was, but there were a lot of fruits.
"Let me try." Li Chunhua peeled one and put it in her mouth with her eyes closed.
The expected sour taste turned into a refreshing sweetness. She widened her eyes and said, "Mrs. Gu, you are truly amazing. This unpalatable fruit has become delicious in your hands!"
Shen Jinan said secretly.
This is not her credit. In ancient times, information was limited and grapes should have been a common fruit in the southeast.
Each of them picked a lot and was reluctant to leave.
"Grapes are hard to store. There must be other wild fruits on the way. I'll pick them then."
Shen Jinan knew that they were also afraid of hunger.
"Madam Gu, this bunch is the biggest. Take it back for your child to eat."
Li Chunhua handed the string that she had spent half a day selecting to Shen Jinan.
“Auntie…” Shen Jinan wanted to refuse.
She also put a lot of food in her space. Li Chunhua might need food more than her.
"You are not allowed to refuse. It's not easy for you to take care of the family alone, and you also took us to find food. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to come again."
As she spoke, she was actually moved to tears. Shen Jinan could have found food for herself, but she took them with her.
They also know how to be grateful.
"Then I'll take it. I can't handle it alone. When you go back, teach others how to recognize this fruit. It's not easy for everyone."
If they were not allowed to stop for rest, life would be difficult for everyone, so she could only take them to look for wild fruits.
The women nodded and hurried back.
Shen Jinan also brought some back to the children, washed them, and divided them among them.
Huanhuan looked at Gu Yanqing's grapes, then looked at her own, and muttered softly, "Mom likes Daddy, not me and my brother anymore."
As soon as he heard this, Gu Yanqing smiled.
Shen Jinan felt both amused and angry: "You have already eaten a lot of fruit today. If you eat more, you will have a stomachache again at night. I am misunderstood for thinking about you. Mother is so sad."
When Huan Huan heard Shen Jin An say that she was sad, she panicked and gave her all her share.
"Don't be sad, mother."
A few people were walking and making noise, looking very happy.
When the exile team set off again, Li Chunhua quickened her pace to catch up with Shen Jinan, and walked side by side with her, feeling a little reserved.
A group of women followed behind her, all with their lips tightly pursed, motioning for Li Chunhua to speak.
"I told them, everyone feels that they have taken advantage and want to help you." Li Chunhua spoke hesitantly, feeling that she had received a huge benefit and felt guilty.
"You are a doctor. If you need to collect herbs, you can take us with you. We are all very skillful." One person spoke hesitantly. They all really wanted to work for Shen Jinan.
"How about this, I'll teach you how to identify medicinal herbs, and you can exchange the herbs you pick for food with me."
Looking at these simple women, Shen Jinan couldn't bear it. Half of the team were implicated.
They wanted to refuse, but Shen Jinan pretended to be angry: "It's settled. If you don't agree, I won't take you with me next time."
No one said anything else.
There was no place to practice, so Shen Jinan first explained to them the precautions for collecting herbs, and then took them to practice when he was ready to take a break.
Seeing them go from being confused to being happy, Shen Jinan couldn't help but be infected by them.
As the sun was setting, the teaching finally came to an end. She still had a smile on her face after sending everyone away.
Gu Yanqing asked tentatively, "Have you ever considered taking in a disciple?"
He would never say such a thing under normal circumstances.
But under Shen Jinan's care, he felt that his body was slowly getting better.
In previous years, after the beginning of autumn, even with the careful care of the housekeeper, he would still fall seriously ill. However, it was already the end of October and he had never been sick. Shen Jinan's medical skills were unmatched.
