The team continued walking along the dirt road, and the population became increasingly sparse.
In the end, everyone still didn't find a farmhouse where they could stay temporarily, so they had to find an open place to stop the convoy and tie the horses to a tree to let them graze and rest.
Although the Shen family was not very used to this kind of night where they used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a mat.
But the caravan seemed to be accustomed to it. Everyone was doing their job and had arranged their tasks. A fire had been lit, and some were looking for water and food.
On one side of Shen Jia was Shen Yue and on the other side was Fu Ruo. The red firelight reflected on her face, making her look even more gorgeous.
Most of the escorts were men. While doing their tasks, their eyes would occasionally fall on the three girls.
“Hahahahahahahahaha!”
Suddenly, a few loud laughs came from the woods beside me.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the exit of the nearby woods, and two bodyguards appeared in front of everyone carrying a wild boar that was estimated to weigh more than 100 pounds.
Chen Yuan stood up immediately after seeing the newcomers. "You two have done a great job this time. We brothers have been longing for this piece of meat for a long time."
The escort in the team who was good at handling game had already rushed forward to take the wild boar, and the knife in his hand was already thirsty for food.
The bloody scene was indeed a bit uncomfortable, but Shen Jia did not avoid it. Instead, he carefully observed their techniques.
Because it is not suitable to use boiling water to remove the hair here, the escorts directly killed the wild boar and then peeled off the entire skin along the wound on the neck.
Because Chen Yuan had a high status in the team, after hearing that Shen Jia was his savior, he also gave a piece of pork to the Shen family.
Chen Yuan also knew that the Shen family were all high-ranking officials, and their cooking skills might not be as good as his own, so Chen Yuan looked at the raw meat in his hand and said:
"Miss, let me prepare it first and then give it to your family."
Shen Jia refused and said apologetically, "No need to trouble you, you have already helped us a lot.
Let’s handle this little thing ourselves.”
Because she really didn't believe in their craftsmanship. They were used to this kind of life in the wild, and looking at those who had already started grilling, their techniques were also very rough.
The Shen family originally wanted to agree, as they really didn't know how to cook, and Shen Jia's sudden refusal made them a little confused.
After hearing the reason, he felt that what Shen Jia said was right. How could he keep bothering others?
After asking Fuqiu to get some salt, he cut the meat into long thin slices, sprinkled an appropriate amount of salt on it, and skewered the meat on wooden sticks.
By gathering the burning charcoal in front of him, he placed the skewers on it and grilled them, constantly turning them over.
After a while, an enticing aroma came from Shen Jia's hands. The roasted meat was golden in color and still sizzling with oil.
This is in stark contrast to the meat pieces that are still a little bit black when grilled by others. In order to eat it as quickly as possible, some people don’t pay attention to the temperature under their hands at all times.
Everyone couldn't believe that this young lady who had never done housework had such skills.
Shen Jia distributed the skewers in his hand to the Shen family members, and Shen Hao, who claimed to be the pillar of the team, also grilled meat.
But when he took one look at the disgusting black charcoal in his hand, and then at the barbecue that Shen Jia had sent him, his confidence immediately plummeted.
In order not to waste the hard-earned pork, Shen Hao politely declined Shen Jia's barbecue, tore off the black skin in his hand, and swallowed the meat in his hand into his stomach.
While grilling, Shen Jia would eat a few skewers himself from time to time.
The outside is golden and crispy, and the inside is extremely tender. When you take a bite, you can even feel the oil splashing in your mouth, which is oily, salty and fragrant.
Even with just salt as a seasoning, it is delicious when paired with fresh wild boar meat.
"Jia Niang, do you think I'm okay like this?"
Under Shen Jia's threatening gaze, Fuqiu finally changed her original name and started to barbecue properly under Shen Jia's guidance.
Because if Shen Jia was alone, he really couldn't keep up with the speed, so now the position on the other side of Shen Jia has been replaced by Shen Ci.
Who made Shen Yue's craftsmanship still a mess even with the guidance of the master?
In order to avoid wasting the hard-earned pork, she and Shen Hao have now been kicked out of the cooking team.
Shen Yue once again felt that she was not welcome, and she tore the barbecue sent by Shen Ci into pieces with a vicious mouth.
"Jia Niang, what do you think of my temper?"
On the other side, Shen Ci was also asking for advice. After Shen Jiagang finished talking to Fuqiu, he turned to look at the barbecue in Shen Ci's hand.
No one in the Shen family found it strange that Shen Jia had become so familiar with the escort's sister, because they were both riding in the same carriage.
There is even a vague feeling that our children are just that popular.
It's a pity that because the escort agency was on a mission and they were worried about making mistakes, no one had a chance to drink.
But this still did not affect everyone's enthusiasm. Even the generous escorts began to sing loudly in front of the fire, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.
My grandfather, who was originally still feeling sad about his misfortune of exile, began to shed the shackles of depression on his face and became immersed in the endless singing.
For the Shen family, this was the most enjoyable night they had since they were sentenced to exile.
Here they seem to be just ordinary passers-by. No one cares about your identity and status. They join everyone happily.
This was also the best night Shen Jia had ever slept. Apart from the mosquitoes buzzing in his ears which was a bit annoying, everything else was no different from his previous camping trips.
The next day, this group of exiled prisoners continued on their journey with the Chang's Escort Agency.
Because they didn't have to walk any further, and with the medicine provided by Shen Jia, everyone's injuries began to gradually heal.
Seeing how easily Shen Jia made friends with Fuqiu, Shen Yue stood between them and gradually began to like Fuqiu.
Now it seems that their relationship is even better than Shen Jia's, and they stick together all day long.
Of course, Shen Jia did this deliberately, otherwise how could he come up with a good reason to keep Fuqiu by his side.
Of course, Fuqiu also treats Shen Yue with sincerity and will not deliberately deceive her feelings. However, she also gradually falls in love with this innocent Shen Yue.
"Hey! Look, there's a boundary marker over there. Where should we be now?"
Shen Hao's excited voice sounded behind him. This was a scene he had only seen in books.
Shen Jia looked up and saw the stone tablet hidden in the grass in front of him. However, because of the obstruction of the weeds, the people in the carriage did not have time to see the words on it clearly.
Chen Yuan, who happened to be patrolling here, was very experienced. He had walked this road several times. Looking at the excited Shen Hao, he explained:
"According to our pace, we should be right in the territory of Zhending Prefecture now."
"Really? Apart from this trip to Beijing, this is the first time I've traveled such a long distance. I've actually already reached Zhending Prefecture. We're pretty fast, aren't we?"
"Hahaha, our horses are all good horses used to long-distance running. Their speed is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary horses."
Just because of this sentence, Shen Hao followed Chen Yuan into another car and started discussing his beloved horse.
At night, a full moon hangs in the sky and a gentle breeze blows.
Shen Jia leaned against the wooden box behind him, emptied his mind, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to think about his future path.
It has been five days since they left Shengjing. At their current speed, it should be late autumn by the time they reach the northern border.
The weather is cold, but everyone is only wearing a thin layer of clothing.
In addition, money is needed for everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. I don’t know if I can get through this winter relying only on the little money I have saved.
Unable to hold back for a moment, Shen Jia sighed unconsciously.
Seeing Shen Yue next to him was a little uncomfortable, and he curled his lips and said unhappily:
"What are you still dissatisfied with? Isn't it good for us to take a car to the North now?
Are you regretting being exiled to the northern border with our Shen family?
It's too late to regret now, you can't go back alone!"
Fuqiu, who was standing by, was very angry. If it weren't for the young lady's foresight, she wouldn't even know where she was walking now.
So he opened his mouth to argue: "You..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Shen Jia. This time, Shen Jia didn't want to tolerate this naughty kid anymore.
However, it is better to speak up about this kind of thing yourself. After all, it seems that Fuqiu has no right to say such things, and some things are better not to be exposed.
Shen Jia changed his usual good mood, with a cold face, and said his thoughts mercilessly:
"I don't have such good intentions as my sister. Since I didn't sneak away without telling anyone that day, there's no need to say what I just said.
And I am not heartless and only care about going to the North. The real reason why I sighed tonight is how to live in the North.
And how did you get on this car? Do you remember?"
That’s right, everyone can take a carriage to the northern border, and it all comes down to Shen Jia having saved Chen Yuan’s life.
Actually, it has nothing to do with the other people in the Shen family. Shen Yue always speaks so inappropriately. It seems that she needs someone to really discipline her.
Suddenly, Shen Yue was choked, and her little mouth moved around but no words came out.
"snort!"
He immediately grabbed Fuqiu's clothes and switched seats with her, leaving only the back of his head to Shen Jia.
Now Fuqiu also felt a little disgusted with Chen Yue. She was already a commoner, but her status had not changed at all, and she was still so domineering.
When I live an ordinary life in the future, I don’t know how I will torture everyone?
The sound of their quarrel also reached the carriage behind. Unfortunately, Shen Yue's performance along the way was so poor that no one came out to stop Shen Jia from disciplining her.
Just like that, the sulking Chen Yue and the worried Fu Ruo both fell asleep.
While thinking about his future path, Shen Jia relaxed his mind and prepared to fall asleep.
“Klang!”
Shen Jia suddenly felt a chill on her face, and subconsciously turned her head. A long sword with a dazzling cold light slid across her face and pierced into the wooden box behind her.
The sword reflected Shen Jia's frightened expression, and her short hair was hanging on the sword.
