Chapter 46 Something is wrong
His words silenced everyone.
"In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with us staying here. If we go to northern Hubei, our whole family will be exiles. Not only will we have a hard life, but we will also be bullied." Shen Yong said disapprovingly.
Chen Xiao shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with thinking this way, but you only see what's in front of you. You and I are both citizens of Dajin. Unless we no longer live in Dajin, we will always be bound by Dajin's laws, and this will apply to our descendants."
When he mentioned "descendants and grandchildren", Shen Yong subconsciously looked at Shen Zhe and Shen Qin, as well as Shen Qingqian who was holding her chin and listening to them, and then Shen Yong fell silent.
Yes, if I were alone, I would be fine even if I died of old age in the mountains. But Shen Zhe and his family are so innocent. Do the sisters at home have to be old maids for the rest of their lives?
Unless someone overthrows the rule of the Jin Dynasty.
"That's enough, you guys don't have so much time to be sad about the passing of time. Come and help smoke the meat." Mrs. Wu shouted from behind the cliff cave.
It's not that she doesn't know what Shen Xiao and the others are worried about, but no one can predict what will happen in the future, so she should just take care of the present first.
When Shen Qingqian heard about smoked meat, she immediately ran over.
"Aunt," Shen Qingqian took out the pine needles and pine branches she had picked up and showed them to Wu, "I heard from Goudan's sister-in-law that using this to smoke meat is particularly fragrant."
In fact, Mrs. Lu only applied coarse salt and air-dried it. It was Shen Qingqian who mentioned to her that pine branches and needles could be used to smoke the meat.
The bacon from the Sichuan and Shu areas has a unique flavor. Before Shen Qingqian traveled through time, she would buy some from time to time and cook it at home.
How could Wu know all this? After hearing her say this, she carefully asked what to do, and then asked Shen Xiao and the others to set up a frame at the entrance of the cave.
Shen Qingqian also sat next to the fire, spreading pine needles around it and roasting them first. After they were dry, she could throw them in to burn.
She picked up the pine branches on the ground. Fortunately, after peeling off the skin, the inside was dry and could be used directly.
When Shen Qingman and the others saw this, they also sat over and asked questions curiously while actually learning to make straw sandals.
The most expensive thing for this group of people when traveling is shoes, but no one thought about this before they were exiled. Now, except for the youngest Shen Jin, everyone's shoes are worn out and can be barely worn.
Fortunately, I met Jiang Goudan and his friends, who taught the women in the exile team how to make straw sandals.
Just like now, not only are the women of the Shen family smoking meat and making straw sandals, but it is similar in other cliff caves. There are also people who are good at needlework mending clothes for people they know.
The cave entrance was occupied by Shen Qingqian and the others, so Sheng Ze went inside the cave with Shen Xiao and the others.
Shen Xiao and Shen Jun were responsible for chopping wood, while Shen Shan and Shen Yong helped Sheng Ze dig the pit.
The exiles did not carry many daily necessities such as buckets, and even the axes for chopping wood were borrowed from Jiang Goudan and others.
In fact, they didn't have many things, and they had to share them with Jiang Goudan and his group.
But this is very inconvenient. For example, when it comes to water storage, if there is no bucket, people can only rely on their own water bags. However, the water bags can hold too little water, and most of the water is used for cooking and drinking. People have to find other ways to use water for daily washing.
The Shen family had borrowed a wooden barrel from Jiang Goudan before, but today almost all the barrels were used to store meat, so Sheng Ze suggested digging a hole in the cave and laying large and small stones at the bottom of the hole to store water.
"Brother Cheng, you should rest for a while." Shen Jun took the water bag and handed it to him.
He is twenty-four years old this year and four years older than Shengze.
Sheng Ze was a martial artist and didn't feel tired after digging for a while, but he couldn't refuse Shen Jun's kindness. He took it, thanked him, and took a sip of water.
As soon as the water entered his mouth, Sheng Ze paused and exclaimed "Huh".
"What's wrong?" Shen Jun was confused.
Sheng Ze's expression was a little strange, "Where did this water come from, Brother Shen?"
"Ah," Shen Jun was a little confused, "I shot it right in the stream."
The water that the Shen family drank these two days was tampered with by Shen Qingqian. After drinking it so many times, they got used to it and no one thought there was anything wrong with the water.
But Shengze was different. The moment he took the first sip of the water, he realized something was wrong.
