After wandering around, Lin Zhaozhao was a little hungry. While rummaging through the food storage, she saw snail rice noodles, so she took out her small stew pot, cooked the noodles, added dried bean curd sticks, braised eggs, chicken feet and fried eggs, and sprinkled on chopped green onions. Just smelling the aroma made Lin Zhaozhao's mouth water.
The moment she put the food in her mouth, Lin Zhaozhao felt like she had reached the pinnacle of her life.
Halfway through her snail rice noodles, Lin Zhaozhao felt a push on her back, accompanied by a bleating sound. Knowing that the little thing was greedy and unreasonable, Lin Zhaozhao took out a bowl and gave it half.
Their eyes met, and a clear look of naivety appeared in Meimei's eyes.
The moment it entered its mouth, the sheep's bleating changed tone, and its four hooves darted around in the air like it was doing a tap dance. It first nibbled on two cabbages, then drank from the spiritual spring. Feeling the pain on its tongue disappear, it savored the taste and continued eating, refusing to believe it was bad. The more it ate, the spicier it got, then it ate hay, vegetables, and drank water. In the end, it actually finished the half bowl of snail rice noodles.
Lin Zhaozhao was overjoyed. She never thought she would see a sheep she had fed eating snail rice noodles. She would have to try spicy chicken noodles next time.
The snail rice noodles smelled delicious. Before leaving the space, Lin Zhaozhao took a special shower. As soon as she came out, the grapevine and Xiao Guai, who were just wary, became obedient. Normally, these two little ones would stick to her and try to trick her into eating. But today was different. Grapevine stayed far away, and even Xiao Guai turned its back to her and made a burying motion.
Lin Zhaozhao: So they're still complaining that she smells bad.
I slept without any dreams.
After breakfast, Grandma Li and Grandma Lin distributed the meat and grain, filling each person's bamboo tube and carrying a small bundle on their backs, and they headed towards Shou'an.
Because we encountered bandits yesterday, we didn't dare to take the main road directly. Instead, we followed the direction of the main road in the mountains and then chose a less crowded place to turn onto the official road from the mountains.
Five days later, Shou'an
"Report, sir, another large number of disaster victims have arrived outside the city today, and there is no place to house them in the city."
"Moreover, not long ago, the Su and Lin families sent people to deliver a message that if the disaster victims were allowed to enter the city again, the daily porridge would no longer be provided. The government grain for relief has not yet arrived, and if the porridge is to be stopped, it will inevitably lead to riots in the city if this continues."
"What does the advisor think?" Ye Pu, the magistrate of Shou'an County, sat at the table, taking a sip of wine and a bite of braised pork knuckle. His beard was slightly upturned, and his narrow eyes shone with wisdom.
"My lord, I dare to say that since the disaster has caused so much suffering to the people, it would be better to resolve the hidden dangers once and for all, so that Shou'an can have its land restored." The clerk nodded and bowed, and Ye Pu wiped the grease off his mouth and waved to the clerk with a smile.
The advisor leaned closer and shared his thoughts with Ye Pu.
"Bold."
"My lord, please forgive me." The clerk was startled and was about to kneel down when Ye Pu grabbed him. "This matter is entrusted to you. If you do it well, you'll be living the high life with me. If you fail... you'll just have to wait and see."
"Yes." The clerk withdrew and beckoned a few constables. "Come here, follow me."
As the sun began to set, Lin Zhaozhao and her group found an open space outside Shou'an City to sit down. Looking into the distance, they could see the majestic city walls of Shou'an. Just thinking about being able to enter the city tomorrow filled them with excitement.
"After we get to the city and settle down tomorrow, I need to take a nice bath. I've only taken a few baths in the past month or so since we fled the famine, and now I smell terrible."
"Shou'an is most famous for Shou'an Academy, and I want to study to take the imperial examinations."
"I just want to have a good night's sleep in bed."
Filled with hopeful anticipation, everyone fell asleep.
