“Boss, why do you have to go to such lengths? What if…” Officer A hesitated.
"If he dies, it'll be at the hands of the Shen family, it has nothing to do with us; if he's saved, he'll still suffer along the way. No matter how you look at it, we're not at a loss, so what exactly are you questioning?"
Xu Yong responded impatiently.
"Hiss—I knew it! Our boss was really farsighted, getting rid of such a big problem. Alright, alright, let's hurry on our way. The sooner we get it delivered, the sooner we can all go home," Officer B said, trying to smooth things over.
After saying that, he called everyone to set off, thus putting the matter behind them completely.
Thus, the hot potato of the eldest grandson of the emperor temporarily fell into the hands of the Shen family.
During her lunch break, Shen Xingmian quietly rummaged through her spatial storage and found several dark-colored yoga mats. She would lay them under herself at night, and no one would see them; she would also lay them in the donkey cart during the day, and no one would notice.
If someone comes, she can take it back in time, and there shouldn't be any major problems.
Although it's a bit risky, the comfort level will be greatly improved, making it worth a try.
Lunch was very simple: yesterday's steamed buns with plain water. There were no pickled vegetables or Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. Anything that goes well with rice would feel strange to bring out at a time like this.
However, seeing how much everyone around her cherished their food, she felt embarrassed to complain. After all, this might be the last rations many people received from their relatives, and they would soon be eating the rations provided by the officials.
In fact, many people had no relatives or friends to care for them, and received no gifts, yet they started eating the mixed grain cakes distributed by the officials yesterday.
The cake was a dark color and looked very rough, with coarse grains of mixed grains visible. Shen Xingmian even doubted whether it was really cooked.
They accepted everything sent to their home, striving to make everything appear the same as everyone else's so as not to stand out.
However, she had already fed those biscuits to the pigs yesterday.
The royal hunting grounds were not only used for hunting, but also for raising animals that were fed to nobles.
Last night's trip has secured the Shen family's meat supply for the next few years; just thinking about it makes me happy.
It's even more blissful than collecting gold and silver!
While imagining the taste of barbecue hot pot, Shen Xingmian ate a steamed bun. It wasn't dry at all; it had been well preserved in the space, and after chewing for a while, she could even taste a hint of sweetness.
Compared to barbecue hot pot, it's a bit bland, but it can still be considered a delicious meal when you're hungry.
Shen Xingmian's thoughts wandered aimlessly. She thought that although the ancient seeds were not good, the environment was excellent, and the crops grown from them were already quite delicious. If they were replaced with modern seeds that had been improved many times over, they would taste so much better.
Fortunately, she had a very complete set of seeds. In the later part of her previous life, she focused on cultivating wood-type abilities, which made her combat ability quite strong and even more practical.
It's time to think about the key points of superpower training here.
Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure, and you don't have that much time and energy, so you need to focus on the key points and see which ones are more suitable for this situation.
Unlike the post-apocalyptic world, here, using overly cool superpowers can cause panic, such as fire and lightning abilities.
She only plans to maintain the basic level of her fire-type ability for now, since she doesn't usually need it. As for tricking people, it's already more than enough for now.
As for metal-based abilities, with so much metal in the space, proper training can not only change their shape but also improve the sharpness of cold weapons.
In this era, it can be said to be very practical.
With proper training, she could become a walking weapon master; even a piece of scrap metal could be transformed into an unparalleled divine weapon in her hands.
As for water-based abilities, they are not very useful unless there is a drought, but the additional effects of high-level water abilities are very important.
However, compared to other options, it seems better to focus on cultivating healing abilities.
High-level healing abilities are so powerful that they can bring someone back to life as long as they are still alive; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them divine arts.
In this era of scarce medical resources, this is extremely important.
In the end, Shen Xingmian decided to focus on the metal and water elements for the time being, with healing elements as a secondary option, and concentrate all her efforts on these three.
Once we reach a safe place and find a clean water source, we can temporarily stop using the water system and focus on upgrading our healing abilities.
She made this decision because she currently has enough high-level magical water in her space; otherwise, she would have to focus on cultivating healing abilities.
Otherwise, if something were to happen to any of the patients in her family, wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
After a short rest after lunch, the group set off again. Shen Xingyan and her mother gathered a lot of clean grass and spread it out next to the donkey cart and handcart, planning to dry it and then use it on the carts, or weave it into straw mats for sleeping at night.
It's hot now, so sleeping on the ground is fine, but it gets colder as you walk. If you keep sleeping on the ground, you might get sick one day. You need to make plans in advance.
Shen Xingmian wholeheartedly agreed with this. She had been thinking about the yoga mat and had never considered something as foolproof as hay.
Indeed, having more people around makes things more comprehensive.
Wait, has she forgotten about her wood-based superpower?
In this ancient world where green plants grow everywhere, wood-based superpowers seem more practical. If she really encounters any danger, she can make the wild grass grow wildly to block the enemy.
It can also directly perceive the properties and effects of each plant. Even if you are not a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, you can recognize many medicinal herbs and distinguish whether the mushrooms in the mountains are poisonous.
That last point alone is enough to make her work hard for it.
However... her energy is really limited, and she probably can't manage both, which is so heartbreaking, sob sob sob.
Shen Xingmian started pulling the grass with a sense of frustration, and then she was pleasantly surprised to find that with just a little bit of wood-type ability, the grass leaves would become longer and thinner, almost as tall as a person, according to her needs.
Shen Xingyan, who was standing nearby, curiously leaned over and asked, "Hey, cousin, are we picking the same kind of grass? Why does the one in your hand look so good?"
She stepped forward and compared the two, puzzled, and finally realized that it wasn't her imagination; the grass in her cousin's hand was indeed better than the grass in hers.
She ran to the roadside, picked the longest one and pulled it up, only to find that it wasn't even as big as her cousin's. She exclaimed happily, "My cousin is amazing! She just pulled up the king of grass with a casual pluck!"
Shen Xingmian: "..."
Whatever makes you happy.
"King of Grass" is so embarrassing.
However, seeing that her cousin was still interested in this kind of thing made her very happy; it was much better than being depressed all the time.
As my maternal uncle and cousin regained consciousness more frequently, my aunt and cousin gradually recovered as well.
However, when someone looks over, she will deliberately act very depressed and in pain.
Everyone suspected that the emperor wouldn't let them off so easily, and now that the eldest grandson of the emperor was also here, it would be even easier for those people to be wiped out in one fell swoop.
