Chapter 76 A Gift That Cannot Be Given Away
The next day, I got up at dawn and set off.
The rain has stopped now.
Feng Aoqing quietly changed into modern shoes for herself and the two babies, which were more suitable for climbing mountains and would prevent them from rolling down the slope.
Suddenly, a young man in the team walked towards Feng Aoqing.
Mo Beiyuan was about to stop him, but he saw Han Lang not far away holding out his sword, pointing it directly at the man's throat.
"Sir Han, I'm looking for the young lady, this..." The man was not so rude and knew etiquette.
Han Lang took a look and found that it was a bamboo tube of honey, so he took away his sword.
The man held the honey in front of Feng Aoqing.
"Young Madam, I looked for it yesterday and left a jar for you. I didn't bother you since you were resting." The man said respectfully.
"Mountain tree honey? That's not easy to come by!"
Such beehives are usually found on very tall trees, and only people who are good at climbing trees and have courage can get them.
Feng Aoqing saw that there were traces of stings on his face and hands. That was because he dared to go there without any suitable tools or anything to cover himself.
"Yes, I only saw the bees at first, but after two days of searching, I finally found them. As for the rest... I asked for this jar to nourish you."
Feng Aoqing knew that this was a good thing, much better than the honey in the supermarket, so she put it away.
"Thank you so much! Wait a moment."
Feng Aoqing rummaged through her luggage and handed the man a jar of medicine and a piece of silver.
"I don't have much silver on me. I'll get you some when we get to the city. This thing is too precious."
The man declined and refused to take the money, only accepting the medicine for his injuries.
Feng Aoqing learned that his name was Su Hongyu, and he was not a beekeeper, but the son of a businessman who was in the honey business. His father bribed the empress and eunuchs in the palace because he wanted to do business in the palace, and was discovered and sentenced to death.
There were only him and his father in his family, so he was sentenced to exile.
"Oh, so he looks a little different. He's well-educated and knows etiquette, but he's also very courageous. I went to see, and I found that even I wouldn't dare to go to that height!" Tian Ying'er couldn't help but praise.
"Yes..." Feng Aoqing was about to answer when someone next to her shouted.
"Ah! You went too!" Mo Mingyuan shouted.
Feng Aoqing and Tian Ying'er were startled.
"No, no, I mean, that bee is so scary. You're a girl, what would you do if you got stung on the face?" Mo Mingyuan explained.
"Yes, what if you have an allergic constitution and don't have time to come to me after the allergy? It will be really troublesome. Don't go there in the future." Feng Aoqing said this while looking at Mo Mingyuan.
Because Feng Aoqing discovered that Tian Ying'er, like Mo Nanzhou, had an allergic constitution and was allergic to many things, she also explained to her what allergies were.
"That's right." Mo Mingyuan nodded quickly.
"I'm only allergic to soft eggs!" Tian Ying'er rolled her eyes at Mo Mingyuan.
"You, you, you! Who are you calling a wimp?"
"You, yesterday they saw that you were good at Qinggong and wanted you to help, but when they went to help you, they couldn't find you. They were just afraid and didn't dare to go!"
"I'm going to..."
"What are you going to do?" Feng Aoqing was not afraid of any trouble while eating melons.
Mo Mingyuan gritted his teeth, threw a handkerchief to Tian Ying'er, and ran to explore the way.
"Look, what is it?" Feng Aoqing urged.
When Tian Ying'er opened it, she found that it was a handful of dried fish, roasted till golden brown and crispy.
"Oh, I went to the stream behind the mountain to help you catch fish. You like eating fish." Feng Aoqing clicked his tongue.
When I looked up, I saw Tian Ying'er with a look of horror on her face.
Without saying a word, she rewrapped the dried fish, handed it to Feng Aoqing, and said, "Sister, please help me return it to him."
Feng Aoqing was puzzled.
Mo Nanzhou has the image of a playboy, and it's okay that he's not liked by others, but why is Mo Mingyuan not liked by others either?
He is tall, handsome, honest and capable!
These two younger brothers can’t even give anything away, it’s really worrying whether they can find wives!
The team packed up and set off.
Wei Ze and Mo Mingyuan led the way in front.
The prisoners were divided into two groups, with the Mo family in the middle.
There are roads in the mountains, but only mountain people use them.
Mo Beiyuan and Han Lang were walking together at this time. They were different from others. While others looked down, they looked up.
When they climbed to the top of a mountain, everyone was stunned. The towns in front of and behind the mountain had become a swamp. The Three Rivers were no longer the clearly defined Three Rivers. In some places, they were connected into one.
"No wonder no one came to rescue us. Neither Xuanping nor Xuansheng could get out." Mo Beiyuan frowned deeply.
"Why didn't the princess listen to me and distribute the food in advance? Now, both the silver and the food are useless." He asked Han Lang.
"I never try to guess what my master wants me to do. I do whatever he tells me to do."
"You eat the emperor's salary, and the salary comes from the people."
"I'm on my master's payroll. Not to mention the common people, even the Emperor has nothing to do with me! And you, on the other hand, aren't on the Emperor's payroll anymore, so why are you still concerned about the common people? I think you should think about how to feed this whole family first!"
Feng Aoqing listened to the two people talking and was thinking about this in her heart.
Mo Beiyuan left some things for Lord He, and he still had to exchange them for silver and then for rice, which was already time-consuming and laborious. Even if he got the money now, there was no way to transport it out.
I'm afraid there will be starving people everywhere.
"After the ground is filled with starving people, there will be a great epidemic." Feng Aoqing thought further.
They both turned around and looked at Feng Aoqing at the same time.
People who have never climbed a mountain only know that climbing up the mountain is hard. In fact, going down the mountain is the hardest.
Because the Mo family had female relatives, they walked slower and slower, and the male prisoners at the back all walked to the front.
The reason why I couldn't walk was not only because of my physical strength, but also because of my skirt.
Feng Aoqing saw that this was not going to work, so she said to everyone, "Tomorrow, we will wear men's clothes. I have new clothes prepared for them. I can just change the length of the pants and sleeves tonight."
Men's coarse cloth clothes are simple, consisting of a top that covers the buttocks and long pants. They do not have an outer shirt or a straight skirt like the daily clothes.
"Okay!" Mo Minglei and Sun Lingzhu were the first to agree.
After walking for a whole day, the skirt that dragged on the ground felt like a thousand pounds. It would trip my legs and get caught on tree branches, which was very uncomfortable.
"How can this be called a general?" Chen Yilan said.
"If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. No one is forcing you. If your skirt is torn by branches and your underwear is exposed to others, you will be in trouble." Feng Aoqing sneered.
"Anyway, my mother and I won't wear it." Mo Shuyuan was absolutely unacceptable to wearing men's clothes.
"Okay, when you rest at night, come to me and get the clothes you want to wear. Sister Xiuxiu will measure you and make some alterations." Feng Aoqing nodded in response.
This is how these women live in this era, and she understands it, so just do as you please.
Qin Lancui then said, "When did you mention the uniform again? I'm not afraid of being embarrassed. Ao Qing, please change me into something else. I've been wanting to take this skirt off for a long time!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to do my hair like yours tomorrow! Do I look like a crazy woman? My mother insisted that I get up early in the morning to do my hair in a bun!"
Mo Minglei shook her messy hair to show Feng Aoqing.
On the way, her hair was either caught on the left branch or the right branch. It didn't look like a bun at all. It was even worse than Feng Aoqing's simple ponytail, which couldn't be caught.
