Chapter 6 Do you know herbs?
Chen said unhappily, "You guys have taken advantage of me a lot in the past—"
Jiang Tangtang interrupted her coldly, "You didn't eat your share! I'll take care of you in the future, Grandma. Don't worry about it."
Chen had to be thick-skinned to get two pieces of yam, but was also embarrassed by Jiang Tangtang. She was so angry that after she left with the yams, she said a lot of unpleasant things in a veiled way.
Jiang Tangtang was too lazy to pay attention to her. She ate some cold wild vegetables with yam and leaned against the wall to rest with her eyes closed.
As for the fact that the two cubs hadn't eaten yet, she wasn't worried because Lu Shiyan would take care of them anyway.
She hadn't rested for a moment when she heard the police's call. The rain had stopped outside, and the police were telling her to continue on her way.
Although the rain outside has stopped, it has been raining for most of the day, so you can imagine how difficult it is to walk on the mountain road.
But no one dared to complain. The escorting officers were kind enough to let them take shelter in the dilapidated temple when it rained heavily.
Jiang Tangtang was reluctant, but she had no choice but to accept her fate and get up to pack her things and prepare to continue on her journey.
Seeing Xiao Tiantian nodding her head and looking very upset, Jiang Tangtang squatted down and said, "Come, let me carry you."
Lu Tiantian shook her head and said sensibly, "Mom is tired, I can walk by myself!"
Jiang Tangtang felt bad that a child who was only three years old had to endure this kind of suffering. She said, "It's okay, come up! I'll let you down when I'm tired."
Xiao Tiantian tilted her head and thought about it, agreed with Jiang Tangtang's suggestion, and happily climbed onto her back.
Lu Tiantian is very light, and when I lie on her, I can clearly feel that this child is really thin.
Jiang Tangtang remembered the chocolates she had hidden earlier. She tilted her head slightly and whispered to Lu Tiantian, "How about we make a pact?"
Lu Tiantian happily hugged her neck and asked, "What agreement?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "It's just some of the things we did and said secretly. Don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Lu Tiantian said "Oh" and said, "I know, Mom wants to tell me a secret!"
"Yes, it's a secret!" Jiang Tangtang said.
"Just tell me, I won't tell anyone else!" Lu Tiantian liked her mother being so close to her today, she said happily.
Jiang Tangtang saw Jiang Caiwei glaring at her hatefully not far away, and Chen, who had just been humiliated by her, was also looking at her with ill intentions.
Obviously, this wasn't a good time to take out the chocolate. She said, "Wait a moment. I'll tell you when we get to the front and rest, okay?"
"Hmm!" Lu Tiantian was already feeling sleepy, and now on Jiang Tangtang's back, she felt even sleepier. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in a short while.
Although she was only carrying a child like Lu Tiantian, the original owner's health was too poor. Jiang Tangtang was so tired that she was gasping for breath after walking for a while.
However, thinking that if she couldn't return to the modern era, she would have to stay in this body, Jiang Tangtang was so tired that her eyes were dizzy, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered.
Isn’t it just about losing weight!
She can do it!
*
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a prisoner failed to arrive at the place of exile within the specified time, not only would the prisoner be whipped, but the escorting officer would also be punished.
Therefore, the escort officers were extremely cautious in their efforts to hurry along. Any delays caused by the heavy rain had to be made up after the rain stopped.
Jiang Tangtang was determined to walk as a way to lose weight. However, the road was muddy after the heavy rain, and coupled with the original owner's fat and clumsy body, she was powerless and soon fell behind the group.
"Mom, let me get down and walk!" Lu Tiantian woke up at some point and saw that the two of them were at the end of the team. She struggled to get down and walk by herself.
Jiang Tangtang was having trouble breathing, but she didn't try to be brave. She put Lu Tiantian down and realized that because they were at the end of the line, no one noticed them. She quickly peeled a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into Xiao Tiantian's mouth.
Lu Tiantian's eyes widened instantly, and she puffed out her lips in disbelief and said, "Mom, it's so sweet!"
Jiang Tangtang raised her finger, made a "shh!" gesture, and whispered, "This is our secret, don't tell anyone else!"
Lu Tiantian's eyes were as bright as stars, and she nodded heavily at her.
Seeing that the little guy was sensible, Jiang Tangtang felt relieved and used his mind to take a small tomato from the space and put it into his mouth.
I don’t know if it was her illusion. She was so tired that she was dizzy and could hardly breathe. But after eating the cherry tomatoes, she felt much better.
Seeing that Lu Tiantian had finished the chocolate in her mouth, Jiang Tangtang quietly took out a small tomato and stuffed it into her mouth.
Xiao Tiantian took a bite and her eyes widened in surprise. Seeing Jiang Tangtang turned to look at her, she imitated Jiang Tangtang's previous action and raised her fingers in front of her mouth to make a "hush" gesture.
However, it is impossible to eat secretly at the back of the team.
Soon, the escort officer discovered that Jiang Tangtang and Lu Tiantian were at the end.
Because of the grapes Lu Shiyan had sent them at noon, the officer didn't whip them immediately. He just said fiercely, "Why are you dawdling? Are you trying to hide behind and escape?"
"How could we dare to run away in this wilderness? I just want to take the children with me and pick some wild fruits to eat."
Jiang Tangtang reached into her bag and pulled out a bunch of small tomatoes. She handed them over pitifully and said, "Sir, I just picked these from the bushes. Please try them. We already know we were wrong and won't dare to do it again next time. Can you please forgive us this time?"
Tomatoes didn't exist in this dynasty, so the official looked at the small red fruit in Jiang Tangtang's hand but didn't take it. Instead, he kindly advised, "Don't eat everything. You might get poisoned!"
"This wild fruit is not poisonous. I just ate it. It's delicious, sour and sweet." Jiang Tangtang said, stuffing a tomato into his mouth and started eating.
Seeing that she was fine after eating, the officer thought about the taste of the wild grapes Lu Shiyan sent her at noon, and when Jiang Tangtang tried to please him with cherry tomatoes, he did not refuse again, "You are lucky. We can always pick wild fruits if we take this road."
Jiang Tangtang said, "Maybe it's because I'm a greedy person and dare to put anything in my mouth to taste!"
Looking at Jiang Tangtang's fat body and thinking about the ridiculous things Jiang Tangtang had done for food, the officer did not suspect much.
Seeing that the official's attitude had obviously improved a lot, Jiang Tangtang felt relieved and said, "Don't worry, sir, I promise I won't run away. Just let me walk behind and pick some wild vegetables and fruits. Also, everyone got caught in the rain today, I can also pick some herbs to dispel the cold. We can boil it for everyone to drink tonight to prevent colds."
It started raining heavily not long after they set out today, but they walked for more than two hours before they found the dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain, so everyone, whether prisoners or officials, got soaked.
In addition, it is already late autumn, and if you don't pay attention, you may really catch a cold.
The officer didn't care about the prisoner's life or death, but he was worried about his own illness. However...
The officer looked at Jiang Tangtang suspiciously and asked, "Do you know any medicinal herbs?"
