Chapter 138: Old Ghost
Jiang Qi joined the next trip.
Chen Xinli immediately felt what the power of a duck was.
The two brothers Jiang Qi and Jiang Yu, one likes quietness and the other likes activity. Jiang Yu quietly reads, thinks, and practices martial arts every day, and he is always busy.
Jiang Qi started chattering non-stop from the moment he woke up.
Chen Xinli felt as if there was an echo in her ears. She was already a little carsick, but she couldn't bear it anymore.
I vomited a lot.
When they reached a county town, Jiang Yu was very worried about her condition, so he bought a mule cart for her to ride alone, and her condition improved slightly.
Chen Xinli invited Jiang Yu to ride in a car with her. Jiang Qi quickly squeezed in and happily started eating snacks, chattering and expressing his opinions while eating.
Looking at Chen Xinli's bitter face, Jiang Yu frowned and pulled him to ride in the same car with him.
After two days of walking, Chen Xinli felt a little embarrassed about the torture Jiang Yu suffered every day, but she could do nothing about it.
That evening, seeing that they could not reach the next post station, the group had to rest temporarily in a mountain valley.
In late spring, everything is filled with lush green and vitality. The wind in the wilderness blows through the bushes in the mountains and forests, and the bushes sway in the wind, like flowing rivers.
Chen Xinli had no intention of appreciating it, so she hurriedly got out of the car and found a rock to sit on to rest and rinse her mouth.
Before getting on the carriage, Chen Xinli was overjoyed, thinking that she finally didn't have to rely on No. 11 Bus anymore.
When they were exiled, the family was terrified and did not dare to show off. They had no money to buy a carriage, and the journey was so long and full of dangers.
At that time, she was busy running, hiding, and climbing over mountains and hills. She was really exhausted. When she arrived at her destination, Chen Xinli felt that she had walked all the paths she wanted to walk in her life.
But the truth made her want to cry.
It had only been two days since she had been riding in the carriage. When she first got on, she could still eat a few pieces of sachima, experience the daily life of ancient ladies, and discuss political affairs with Jiang Yu. But less than two hours later, she began to feel very uncomfortable.
That feeling was even worse than modern seasickness. My stomach was churning, and the food I had just eaten slowly went up my throat as the car bumped up and down and left and right.
In the end, Chen Xinli couldn't help it, rushed out of the carriage, and vomited on the side of the road with a "wow".
Chen Xinli felt that it was too painful, but there was nothing she could do. She felt a little better only after she vomited out all the food in her stomach.
I have been falling asleep in a daze these past two days, waking up and feeling dizzy, then vomiting, and then falling asleep again.
"Sister Ali, are you... feeling better?" The young boy came running over happily, his small bag rising and falling on his body, and asked with a concerned look on his face.
"Much better. What are you doing here?" Chen Xinli pursed her lips and asked Xiang Jiangqi.
"Sister Ali, that's it, that... Do you still have any of your fruit shama? I'd like to trade it with you, is that okay?
Mangoes are rare in this place, so Chen Xinli didn't tell everyone what they were, only saying that they were wild fruits picked from the mountains.
But Jiang Qi had a very picky palate, and half of the mangoes and peaches sold by Chen Xinli's family were sent to the King of Shu's palace by Han Yuan.
Jiang Qi got in the car and tried the fruit-flavored sachima made from Chenxin pears. He immediately recalled the taste of the original Xianggai and missed it very much.
Looking at the young boy's bulging bag, Chen Xinli guessed that there was probably a lot of gold and silver in it.
She took a sip of water and sighed, "Brother Qi, but...eating too much sugar is bad for your teeth. You'd better not eat it for now."
"It's okay. I'm not afraid of it being bad for my teeth. Sister Ali, if you have bad teeth, just give them all to me." The boy patted his chest, his chubby little face full of concern.
"Here you go. I heard that this black lump was presented by my father to the Empress Dowager. I secretly brought some for you, Ali, to try." The young boy opened the small bag on his body as if presenting a treasure.
Chen Xinli immediately went over to take a look out of curiosity.
"I... thank you so much..." Isn't this a black truffle? Chen Xinli was speechless. Her family sold black truffles to Han Yuan, and Han Yuan planned to send the black truffles to the Shu Palace. Unexpectedly, he actually did it.
Chen Xinli looked at the familiar large truffles without any interest.
The girl seemed frightened and flatly refused, "What? This is actually a tribute? Take it away quickly. I don't dare to take it. A poor person like me dare not eat it."
"Sister Ali, you are not like that. Don't say that to yourself." Seeing Chen Xinli rejecting him, the boy quickly said, "I have something else." The boy took out a slightly blackened banana.
Chen Xinli: "..."
These are still sold to Han Yuan by her family! How long have they been kept? Have they not gone bad? Chen Xinli said worriedly, "This fruit seems a little wilted. Don't eat it and get diarrhea, right?"
"No, Sister Ali, this banana is extremely rare. Father carefully stored it and was planning to send it to the palace. It's just... it was just me," the young boy said embarrassedly, "I just really like the taste, so I secretly stole some. When I was chasing you, I scratched it, and it changed a little bit."
Chen Xinli didn't know what to say. She didn't expect that the bananas grown in her space could be stored for such a long time.
But right now, she still didn't feel like eating bananas, mainly because she had plenty of space.
Chen Xinli took another sip of water and said, "How about this, don't eat it now. I'll share some with everyone after dinner."
"Okay, Sister Ali is the best."
The boy got a satisfactory answer and happily went to see Jiangyu with his small bag on his back.
After listening to Xu Huai's report, Jiang Yu was investigating the surrounding situation. There were mountains all around this official road, and no villages could be seen in the distance. The sunset was approaching, and if they traveled at night, there would be a cliff ahead, which would be even more unsafe.
Chen Xinli took a long time to relax and felt a little better, so she walked over.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" When she, Jiang Yu, the ghost doctor Meng Yun and others went to Zhiyou Palace that day, they took the mountain road and the shortcut. At that time, she was wrapped tightly in Jiang Yu's cloak and rode a horse with him, so she had never taken this road.
"Something is unusual here. But we are many in number, so there is no need to worry." Jiang Yu comforted.
After a simple dinner, Shen Xinli fell asleep while leaving Xu Huai and a few others to keep watch.
But in the middle of the night, a strange fragrance suddenly woke her up.
"Young Master, are you awake?" an old, hoarse voice stopped him. "Old Li, we're here to kill that idiotic prince. Don't alert the enemy."
"Who is it?" Chen Xinli opened her eyes faintly and stared at the two dark shadows in front of her.
