Chapter 35: Encountering Other Exiles at the Earth God Temple



Su Qi was stirring the porridge in the pot. Hearing this, she tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Bring me a wooden hairpin. Also buy me some cups, toothbrushes, and tooth powder, and two dollars' worth of straw paper. You can buy the rest as you see fit."

All these things are available in the space. All Su Qi wants to do is buy some things to cover up her tracks.

"Okay. I'll take care of it." Gu Beiheng thought with regret that he should make two wooden hairpins for Su Qi to wear in turns.

He put on a straw raincoat and walked out with Gu Beihan, Gu Beizheng and a few others following the bearded man.

Shortly after they left, thunder roared in the sky, as if gods were fighting, trying to turn the world upside down.

Dabao and Erbao were frightened by the thunder and didn't go out to play with their friends. They stayed quietly beside Su Qi.

In the land temple.

Several families built fires, and some used clay pots to boil water for drinking.

Yao Liu walked over, a large knife in one hand, breathing in the aroma of the air. "Su Qi, I'll give you some rice and flour. Bring some food and cook it for us."

Yao Liu is now the leader. Naturally, he will not cook porridge anymore. The cooking skills of others are tantamount to poisoning.

At most, rice and water are forced together and boiled in a pot until they melt into one.

Su Qi's mind moved. Yao Liu was much easier to talk to than Old Huang.

Now that they were getting further and further away from the capital, Su Qi wanted to untie the ropes and walk as soon as possible. It would be best if she could hire a few donkey carts to travel. She naturally agreed to Yao Liu's request.

"Okay. I'll cook some rice for you." Su Qi saw that there were vegetables in their bags.

"Thank you. Let me know if you need anything."

Yao Liu asked Monkey to open the cloth bag they had unloaded from their horses' backs. Inside were several pieces of pork weighing about five or six pounds, as well as various seasonings.

There is a pheasant.

We have rice, flour, grain, oil, etc.

The officers brought two large iron pots. Since they were so many people, they naturally had to carry more things. Since the last time they ran out of food in the cave, they would always stock up on food on their journeys.

Su Qi first asked Monkey to wash the pork, and also asked him to wash a few potatoes in the cloth bag.

She washed rice and vegetables.

Cut the fat and stir-fry in the pan until the lard is fragrant before adding the seasoning. Finally, add the washed rice into the pan and stir-fry together, then add water, cover the pot and simmer.

Wait until the water is almost dry before putting the vegetables in.

Many people were watching Su Qi cook.

Just smell the fragrance in the air and think of yourself eating it.

It's the perfect accompaniment to hard-to-bite steamed bread. Yao Liu crouched beside Su Qi's pot like a guard, holding a knife, not moving an inch.

Zhang Yunyu saw that Gu Beiheng was not in the temple.

He had wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were more people than him to encourage everyone to share the porridge cooked by Su Qi, but now he saw Yao Liu standing there like a pillar, and he had no intention of causing trouble at all.

The official was just a door god, she was not worthy of causing trouble. She might lose her head, Zhang Yunyu was not a fool.

"Do you have any more pots? I'll make you some braised pork and potatoes." Su Qi raised her eyes slightly.

Yao Liu's Adam's apple moved with the aroma. "And braised pork?" He stood up and, without even bothering to tell anyone else, ran to get another small iron pot.

I didn’t expect Yao Liu to be a foodie.

Su Qi cut the braised pork into chunks the size of a modern matchbox. Since she didn't have sugar to make the sugar color, she made a simple version of the braised pork.

She was cooking... The only sounds around her were swallowing and sniffing.

No one cared about the thunder and lightning outside.

The heavy rain and strong winds almost demolished the land temple, and everyone's original worries disappeared.

In front of him was only Su Qi stir-frying the pork in the iron pan until it was slightly golden and fragrant. From time to time, he would flip the wok to show off his cooking skills.

"Who the hell is cooking delicious food in the land temple? I'm so hungry even from a distance away." A strange voice sounded at the door, and the person's voice was so powerful that it almost overturned the roof.

Yao Liu raised his eyelids and walked over with a big knife in hand.

"Oh. Colleague." Yao Liuyi was dressed in official uniform and saw that the other person was wearing the same clothes as him.

But they belong to different places.

There was a "Jing" character on Yao Liu's clothes, indicating that he was from the capital, while the other person's clothes had a "Yue" character on them, indicating that he was from Yuezhou Prefecture.

"My last name is Peng, Peng Lao San." The man laughed and started chatting with Yao Liu in a familiar manner.

Su Qi peered through the crowd and knew from the other person's clothing that he was also an exiled commoner like them. She just didn't know where he was exiled to.

There were no more than thirty of them in all.

They were all dressed in rags, looking like skinny monkeys. Their evasive glances were all drawn in by the aroma.

"Brother, I'm going to Yun County, Jinyang Prefecture. Where are you going?" Peng Laosan looked very surprised.

It's like Zhang Fei was reincarnated.

He had a dark face and a stocky build. His voice could drown out the thunder rumbling outside.

"I'm also going to Yun County, Jinyang Prefecture. Maybe we can go together." Yao Liu looked at these exiled people coldly, and saw that all the money had been taken away.

Their lives are much worse than those of the Gu family.

All the good places in the land temple have been occupied by the Gu family.

The thirty or so people were mainly young and middle-aged, with only about ten women and children. They stared eagerly at Su Qi and the others who were surrounded by the crowd.

These people settled down near the wind's vent, some wearing straw raincoats and going out to look for firewood. Many others, their clothes soaked to the skin, squatted on the ground and kept looking over.

Among them was a little girl, no more than two or three years old, who walked towards them unsteadily.

He walked to Dabao and looked at him with his head tilted, drooling from the corner of his mouth.

Dabao suddenly felt that the candy in his hand no longer tasted good.

He stretched out his chubby little hand and put the candy in his palm for the little girl.

She swallowed and shook her head again.

I want to eat but I don’t dare to eat.

Dabao stuffed the candy directly into the little girl's mouth, grinned and asked, "Is it sweet?"

The little girl squinted her eyes and nodded, answering vaguely: "Sweet~, thank you brother."

"Eat." Dabao smiled and took out a handkerchief from the cloth bag hanging on his body and wiped the drool from the corner of the little girl's mouth.

He collected his handkerchief and sat on his cloak to play.

The little girl quietly moved over, not daring to sit on the cloak. She squatted on the ground and looked at Dabao, smiling sweetly from time to time.

I quickly became friends with Dabao.

Su Qi prepared the meal for Yao Liu and the others. Yao Liu gave Su Qi half a bowl of braised pork, leaving it for Su Qi, Da Bao and Er Bao to eat.

The other officers quickly gathered around the meat pot and began to feast on it.

Later, it was unknown what Peng Laosan said to Yao Liu. Seeing that there were only four or five officials, Yao Liu gave them some vegetables, rice and braised pork.

While Yao Liu and other officials were eating, Su Qi served porridge to Dabao and Erbao.

She looked at the sky outside which was getting darker and for the first time she started to worry about Gu Beiheng.

Spending every day together along the way.

Already accustomed to each other's existence.

now.

In this weather, I wonder if everything went smoothly for him on the road?

Hong Liuer squatted beside them, holding Ang'er in her arms. She stared at Su Qi's pot eagerly, waiting for Su Qi and the others to finish eating so she could make some rice water for Ang'er.

Su Qi scooped up the porridge from the pot in a large bowl and shared some of the rest with Gu Beiting, Gu Beijing, and Gu Beiyao, letting them soak their steamed bread in the porridge.

Zhang Yunyu's eyes were about to burst into flames.

These three dead people.

They actually dare to eat all the food by themselves and don't even bring them good things when they have them.

God knows, the smell of Su Qi's cooking made her teeth and tongue chatter.

"Beiting, come here." Zhang Yunyu stirred the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with the desire to kill Gu Beiting. She ate the porridge in her bowl.

Gu Beiting's eyes moved and she drank the porridge in the bowl in three or two mouthfuls.

I licked it clean by the way.

He took the empty bowl to the door, fetched some water, and washed it before handing the empty bowl over to Su Qi.

He wiped his mouth, feeling a warm sensation in his stomach. He walked over happily, chuckling, "Mother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Yunyu's eyes rolled up and she said, "You've already finished eating, and you're still asking me something?"

"Nothing." Zhang Yunyu was a little irritated. He reached out and pulled his collar, yelling impatiently.

"Oh. You have something to tell me." Gu Beiting walked back and continued to sit next to Su Qi and warm herself by the fire.

Zhang Yunyu: ...Are you all planning a rebellion? The dignity of the mistress of the house has been lost.
