This girl has a talent for cooking.
Seeing that he was enjoying his meal, little Yang Gui snorted at him, turned his head away immediately, and moved closer to Su Yin.
Su Yin was grilling the second and final batch of skewers.
The rabbit was not big and had little meat on it, but she even put the bones on it to roast it.
After the second batch came out of the pot, Su Yin gave it to her two cousins and sister-in-law.
Su Yin took three skewers and walked to Xu Niangzi's family and handed them the roasted rabbit meat.
Madam Xu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, I can't have it."
There wasn't enough for their whole family to share, so how could she, an outsider, have the nerve to ask for it.
Niu Niu, in Xu Niangzi's arms, stared at the roasted rabbit with her big watery eyes. There was desire in her eyes, but she was very obedient and did not stretch out her hand, nor did she speak a word. She just nestled quietly in her mother's arms.
"I promised Niuniu before, I can't break my promise."
Su Yin squatted down and looked at Niuniu at eye level, "Hey, sister said that she would give Niuniu some meat."
Niu Niu wanted to reach out her hand, but did not move, and subconsciously looked at Xu Niangzi.
Madam Xu glanced at her daughter and said gently, "Take it."
Niuniu happily took it and thanked her in a baby voice without Xu Niangzi's reminder, "Thank you, sister."
"Well, Niuniu is so good." Su Yin touched the little girl's tender face.
When Su Yin came back, she met Wan Sanye's resentful eyes and said, "A skewer of barbecue is not enough to fill my teeth."
I shouldn't have proposed it earlier, and it ended up in a stalemate.
"Even if I give you all the rabbit meat, it won't be enough to fill your stomach. Just try it for yourself."
Master Wan San shrugged and didn't continue to dwell on this issue. He approached and said, "Girl, what is the seasoning you poured into the basin earlier? Is it another secret recipe of your family?"
"nature."
"Are you considering selling it?" Mr. Wan San asked tentatively.
“Not for sale.”
He looked regretful, "That's a shame."
We had to get up early tomorrow, so everyone went to bed early. Su Yin, Su's mother, and Su Baozhu spread out two straw mats, which gave them more space to sleep without being so crowded.
Master Wan San and his second uncle slept in the outer room.
It was dawn in the morning and everyone got up early.
When Master Wan San heard the noise, he raised his eyelids and took a look. Seeing that they were taking the bamboo tube out again, he sighed inwardly, turned over, and continued to sleep.
When the sky began to lighten, people began to come back one after another.
Wan Sanye looked at everyone looking dejected and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Su Baozhu sighed, "There is very little dew here. I spent half a day trying, but I didn't collect much."
"Something is better than nothing." Master Wan San said comfortingly.
There was one thing he didn't say: the further we go, the more difficult it will become.
We didn't make a fire in the morning, so we ate some dry food and set off on our journey.
The deeper we went into Nanping County, the more worried everyone's face became.
They could see that large tracts of trees on both sides of the official road had died, and the dryness was very severe.
"Why is Nanping County so serious?"
“No wonder several villages we encountered were abandoned.”
"They must have started fleeing famine a long time ago."
If you don't leave here, you will die sooner or later.
After leaving, there may still be a way out.
"I only heard that the situation in Yunzhou was serious before, but I didn't expect that Nanping County was also so serious." Su Baozhu looked at the abandoned village, worry about the future in her eyes.
Facing the desolation before his eyes, Master Wan San was very calm, his voice without any ups and downs, "The situation in the three places of Yunzhou is even worse than what you see now. There are starving people everywhere, and exchanging children for cannibalism is common."
"Nanping County is considered good."
If this is considered good, then what is considered bad?
Su Baozhu couldn't imagine it.
Su Yin roughly understood it, but without seeing it with her own eyes, she could not fully appreciate it.
"It's not just those three places. In fact, Yuzhou and Meizhou are not much better. The officials deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates, not caring about the lives of their subordinates. Yunzhou couldn't hide it anymore, so it exploded. If it continues like this, not only will you have no way to survive, but we won't be much better off either."
The world has become so corrupt, and what they have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.
The sun was shining brightly, and Yang Lizheng asked everyone to take a rest under the shade of the trees.
Su Yin helped her mother sit under the tree. It was a little cool under the shade of the tree, which dissipated a lot of the heat from her body.
She picked up the water bag and took a sip. There was not much water left in it. If she drank a few more sips, the water would be empty.
While they were resting, a group of people came up the official road. These people were ragged and skinny. Many of them were leaning on wooden sticks and moving forward with difficulty.
As soon as they appeared, Su Yin immediately picked up his weapon and called his cousins and uncles.
Yang Lizheng reacted quickly and shouted to everyone, "Take out your weapons and protect your belongings."
The men took out various tools, such as sticks, axes, and hatchets, and prepared for battle.
The group of people also saw them, and especially when they saw that they were carrying a lot of luggage, on ox carts and mule carts, their eyes lit up.
Someone saw the water bag hanging around Su Baozhu's waist and shouted excitedly, "They have water."
The man pointed at Su Baozhu, and the group of people followed his gaze and looked at the water bag on Su Baozhu's waist, and their eyes changed.
Suddenly, I was stared at by a group of people like wolves and tigers. It felt like I was meat on their chopping board. A sense of fear rose up inexplicably in the depths of my heart.
"I stole her."
I don't know who shouted.
Two thin men rushed towards Su Baozhu, and the others followed suit and headed towards Su Yin and the other two.
In the eyes of this group of people, everyone else was a man or a woman, but the three people who owned the mule carts were all weak women.
They still understand the principle of picking on the weak.
Su Baozhu turned pale with fright, but she held the hatchet tightly in her hand. Her panicked eyes gradually became tough as they approached.
She didn't want to die. She didn't want to be hacked to death by a mob like in her previous life.
She wants to live!
She would kill anyone who got in her way.
Su's mother was also afraid, but she held the knife tightly in her hand and did not take a step back.
Master Wan San was also frightened by this scene. The people in front of him looked at them with green eyes, as if they were wolves staring at you, which made you feel creepy.
Su Yin said to the three people, "I'll block the first wave. Mother, you and my aunt stand behind me. If anyone gets around me, you two will work together to kill them. Fatty, you are responsible for the safety of all our belongings. If anyone gets past us, you will be responsible for killing them."
"Remember, being kind to the enemy means being cruel to yourself. Don't be afraid, they have no weapons and are not as strong as us. As long as you are calm enough, you can do it."
Su's mother and Su Baozhu both nodded heavily.
Master Wan San also nodded.
Yang Hua came over with an axe, "Yinyin, let me help you."
Su Yin didn't act pretentiously because she knew that the number of people attacking them would be even greater than that of her second uncle.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Yang Hua held an axe and stood at the front with Su Yin, facing the most ferocious and densely packed group of people.
