"Gone?"
Jiang Zhenyu opened his eyes wide and stared at the cat bowl in front of him in disbelief, feeling that the world was too magical.
Her cat will swallow food from its bowl!
It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion!
She comforted herself in her heart, but the can of beef that disappeared into the cat's bowl was still vivid in her mind.
Jiang Zhenyu lowered her head to look at the calico cat Zhaocai, but the cat ignored her and was busy using its cat claws to pick at the empty beef can shell and lick the remaining meat residue.
She slapped her face to make sure she was not dazzled and tried to calm down.
To verify that the scene just now was not an illusion.
Jiang Zhenyu poured the remaining two cans of beef into the cat bowl.
The next second, the beef in the cat's bowl disappeared out of thin air, not even the broth was left!
...
...
Crazy ball!
The mother-of-pearl lacquerware wooden bowl passed down from her master's ancestors can really swallow things!
Jiang Zhenyu instinctively let out a whistle-like scream.
Zhaocai, who was beside him, jumped up in fright when he heard the cry, and his hair suddenly stood up.
Her hair stood on end and she wanted to rush out of the house.
While escaping, she suddenly remembered the only living thing in the house, grabbed it and ran away.
With a bang, the door closed tightly.
The man and the cat clung tightly to the door, as if this could isolate them from all strange events.
Jiang Zhenyu looked down at Zhaocai in his arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
That was a close call!
If Zhaocai was swallowed by that terrible cat bowl, she would have nowhere to cry.
After his heartbeat slowed down a bit, Jiang Zhenyu calmed down and analyzed the situation.
The reason why what happened just now can be traced back to two months ago.
Ever since she was discovered to be the fake daughter of the Han family, she was kicked out of the Han family.
She could only take Zhaocai back to the only house she lived in after her biological parents passed away.
Maybe it's because they are dissatisfied with the fact that they have replaced their single-family villa with a small western-style building in the countryside.
In one month, Zhao Lucky can break 27 porcelain bowls and crush three iron basins.
As a last resort, Jiang Zhenyu could only exchange for the only
——A mother-of-pearl lacquer wooden bowl.
She learned lacquerware craftsmanship from her master and lived a carefree life. She used the ancestral mother-of-pearl lacquerware wooden bowl as an ashtray.
Smoke inhaled into the lungs can cause cancer over time.
The master felt that he had no good works to leave for her, so he gave her the "ashtray" before he died, as a token of the friendship between master and disciple.
The amazing thing is that since changing to a wooden bowl, Zhaocai has never done anything destructive again.
Jiang Zhenyu thought it was a way to attract wealth and accept the status quo, but he didn't expect it to be a wooden bowl that had turned into a spirit!
No wonder she feeds the cat three meals of cat food, one can of cat food, and three cat strips every day, but Zhaocai still looks like a starving ghost.
She took her to the veterinary hospital for a check-up, and the doctors thought she was abusing the animal.
Now the case has been solved. This wooden bowl can reduce the broth to not a drop left.
It turns out that it didn't even enter Zhaocai's stomach.
Looking back, Zhaocai didn't eat her in the middle of the night because he was so hungry that he ate her. He was considered to have done his best as her owner.
But.
Who can tell her what she should do next?
…
The sunlight penetrated the dead branches and spread onto the official road covered with flying yellow soil.
The officer who led the escort of the exiled prisoners shouted:
"Stop, everyone rest where you are. We will set off again in an hour."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the order to rest.
Among them was the deposed Crown Prince Xiao Jingzhou.
He slowly slid down and sat down with his back against the dead tree, lowering his head and dozing off, with a few strands of messy hair hanging in front of his forehead.
Because he hadn't had a sip of water for a long time, his lips were dry and cracked, and blood was oozing out.
Even the dust could not hide his tall and handsome face.
Lu Chen walked up to Xiao Jingzhou, blocking the other prisoners' gazes, and whispered:
“Your Highness, the officials now only have one meal a day, and after resting they have to travel another half day.
I have some dried earthworms here, you can eat them first. ”
When Xiao Jingzhou opened his eyes, he saw four or five earthworm stems scattered on the small handkerchief in his palm.
I feel mixed emotions.
Less than a year after his mother passed away, his father doted on Concubine Zhang and even ignored the advice of the censors and insisted on making her the next empress.
As the crown prince, he had to compete with the fifteen-year-old third prince.
Three months ago, he received a blood letter from the people of the north who came to the capital.
The north has been experiencing a two-year drought, with riverbeds drying up, the ground cracking, and occasional earthworms.
The people thought they could wait until the court distributed relief grain, but they never expected that the local officials colluded with each other, closed the city and suppressed the people, not allowing them to move around.
There has been no rain for two years and food prices are rising.
One ounce of gold can't buy one liter of rice.
Under the heavy taxes imposed by the imperial court, the people in the north suffered terribly, and all the money went into the hands of the wealthy families.
The streets were filled with children, old people, women, and young people with straw in their hair, just trying to survive for a full meal.
Tree bark and grass roots were dug up inside and outside the city, and the white mud and water were called Guanyin soil.
Some even traded their own children for food and dug new graves to fill their stomachs.
When Xiao Jingzhou learned the horrifying news, he couldn't bear to think about how many bones were beneath the body of the person who delivered the blood letter to him.
He sent someone to verify the blood letter and immediately reported it to the court.
Xiao Jingzhou's maternal uncle, the great general Gu Zhenbei, was ordered to provide disaster relief.
But who would have thought that before the relief team left the capital, the General's Mansion was accused of embezzling relief money and grain.
When Xiao Jingzhou learned that his mother's family was framed, he tried his best to prevent the loyal ministers and generals from being wronged.
However, he did not expect that the emperor would accuse the prince of colluding with important officials and the general's mansion of guarding the country of having its own troops.
Crown Prince Xiao Jingzhou was demoted to a commoner, and his family property was confiscated and he was exiled along with the General Guarding the Country.
When Lu Chen saw him looking down at the dried earth dragon, his eyes became slightly hot.
When the late queen was alive, his Highness had never suffered such injustice. The royal gifts in the palace were innumerable, and the food served on the table was carefully selected.
Now even this dried earthworm has to be swallowed.
This kind of gap is hard to accept for him as a subordinate, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, how about I ask the officials to bring dinner in advance?"
Xiao Jingzhou shook his head, his throat was so dry that even his breathing felt hot.
He said: "On the way to exile, we encountered two groups of disaster victims and bandits, and the officials probably also had a lot of food robbed.
According to the current schedule, it will take three days to reach Zhiyi City.
It is not advisable to cause trouble at this time. ”
When Lu Chen heard that they were about to arrive at Zhiyi City, his eyes lit up for a moment.
He said happily: "That's great, we won't have to go hungry when we get to Zhiyi City."
Xiao Jingzhou looked at his young face and did not tell the truth.
It was only three days' journey from Zhiyi City, but there was not a drop of water and no grass along the way.
Even the dead tree he was leaning against was skinned and eaten by the people.
He had no idea what the current situation was in Zhiyi City.
He guessed that it wouldn't be very good. During the years of famine, places with a lot of people might be the real hell.
Xiao Jingzhou supported himself with his right hand and touched a hard object wrapped in cloth.
He remembered that last night an old monk had exchanged his wooden bowl for half a bun from him.
Xiao Jingzhou took out the wooden bowl and found a dragon pattern carved on it with mother-of-pearl.
Then, a golden light flashed across the dragon pattern.
Stewed meat suddenly appeared in the wooden bowl.
Xiao Jingzhou showed a look of shock, and suddenly sat up straight.
Lu Chen's eyes widened, and his mouth was open enough to fit an egg. He subconsciously covered his mouth, fearing that he would scream out in surprise.
Before they could react, the amount of meat in the wooden bowl was twice as much as before!
