Shu Muyun was already feeling unwell, and when he heard the word "horse blood", he vomited it out.
It’s a pity that I didn’t eat last night, so no matter how uncomfortable I feel, I can only vomit out some acid water.
He waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, I don't want to drink that stuff!"
Madam Chen was rude again: "It's already like that, why are you still being so pretentious? It's good enough to have something to drink. If it really doesn't work, I'll take your place?"
That’s right, in the hot and dry exile situation where there is no water for several days, even horse blood is a resource that people fight for.
Although Mrs. Chen has a high status in the Chen family, she is still not as good as the male members.
From the time the first horse fell until now, she had only drunk two mouthfuls of horse blood. She felt dizzy, but she had to suppress her anger.
However, anger is harmful to one's health, so Mrs. Chen thought of ways to bully her dead grandson.
Now that no one was helping her vent her anger, Madam Chen set her sights on the Ling family, who were at odds with her, and provoked them again and again.
Chi Xingyue was angry. She calmly took out a few drops of honey from the space, raised her hand and threw them directly onto Madam Chen's trouser leg.
The honey sparkled in the sun, but no one noticed the changes.
The small stone in Ling Jiheng's hand loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again.
I originally wanted to knock out Madam Chen's teeth and teach her a lesson, but who would have thought that the little fairy was not someone to be trifled with, and she was so vicious when it came to playing tricks on people.
But he likes it!
Chi Xingyue withdrew her gaze, covered her face with her sleeve, wiped the stickiness off her fingertips with a wet towel, and then smiled and supported Shu Muyun.
He winked at her and said, "Mom, you have a heat stroke. Hurry up and drink some horse blood to replenish salt."
Shu Muyun was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly reacted and choked on his saliva.
The posture was so delicate that Ling Weicheng almost rushed over and pushed his daughter-in-law away.
Shu Muyun patted his chest lightly, and when he calmed down, he said reluctantly, "Okay, I'll just take a small sip. If you weren't feeling so bad, who would want to drink something so fishy and smelly!"
It is true that it smells fishy, but it is not smelly at all.
Freshly-baked horse blood is also warm, but it will deteriorate in a short period of time due to the scorching sun and form hydrogen sulfide.
Just two hours later, as soon as the horse's belly was cut open, a foul odor hit the guards in the face.
Gao Hongbin frowned in disdain and ordered the horse meat to be distributed to the exiles.
The Chen and Wang families were grilling meat happily, but the Ling and Han families were skeptical about whether the spoiled meat was edible.
However, in these water-scarce years, they have no choice.
After walking for a whole morning, everyone was tired and hungry.
If you don't eat meat, you can only eat raw wild vegetables and rice bran. Instead of doing this, you might as well eat meat with your eyes closed.
My stomach was rumbling, and the Ling and Han families didn't struggle for long before they compromised.
Then, the whole place was filled with a fishy and smelly, extremely unpleasant smell.
Shu Muyun raised his hand to wave away the smoke swirling around him, frowned, and unscrewed the lid.
A bitter taste rushed to her head. If she hadn't been able to keep her composure, she would have thrown the water bag away.
He looked at Chi Xingyue suspiciously, and when he saw her nod, he took a tentative sip.
Well, it is indeed as unpalatable as it smells, but when I put it in my mouth, I actually want to take another sip.
She must be too thirsty.
Shu Muyun gulped down several gulps and felt less thirsty, so he returned the water bag to Chi Xingyue.
He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Chi Xingyue expectantly.
Chi Xingyue couldn't help laughing, took out a few malt candies from his sleeve and stuffed them into Shu Muyun's hand.
Shu Muyun was so excited that he almost screamed.
She was right, she was really right. Her son's men had caught up with her, and she wouldn't have to go hungry anymore!
Chi Xingyue walked over to Ling Weicheng and pushed the water bag forward: "Dad, drink some horse blood and take a rest. I want to ride a cart this afternoon!"
Ling Weicheng didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be so rude. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Shu Muyun and Ling Jiheng looking at him with warning eyes.
Ling Weicheng was so frightened that he couldn't speak for a long time.
It wasn't until someone poured him a mouthful of black medicine that he came to his senses.
I thought to myself what kind of resentful father-in-law I am, my son doesn't even agree with me.
No matter how hard I smacked my lips, it still tasted bitter.
But no matter how bitter your mouth feels, it is not as bitter as your heart.
Wait, that's not right! How can horse blood be bitter?
What did he think of? He was completely stunned.
Shu Muyun cried out, and Ling Weicheng immediately came to his senses and ran over to ask about his well-being.
Chi Xingyue didn't just stand there and eat dog food. Instead, he came to Shu Rui and gave him a mouthful of medicine.
He also said to Ge Jinglan: "Aunt, you should drink some too. Only when you are healthy can you take better care of Xiaorui."
Ge Jinglan nodded, suppressed her nausea, and drank a mouthful of "horse blood." But soon, she returned the water bag to Chi Xingyue with a guilty conscience.
"Xiaoyue, Auntie only needs to drink one sip. You and Heng'er can drink the rest."
Chi Xingyue sighed, squeezed the water bag until it deflated, leaving only the bottom, and slowly returned to Ling Jiheng.
She still had some medicine in her space, but the horse blood was limited and she couldn't drink it all forever.
The air was filled with a fishy, foul smell, and you had to sniff hard to detect a faint fragrance.
Chi Xingyue refused to eat spoiled horse meat. Ling Jiheng even whispered to the first and third wives, "Be careful of diarrhea!"
However, Gu Youlian, frightened by hunger, didn't believe it at all. She grabbed Ling Jiren's skewers and stuffed them into her mouth: "You are so picky. If you don't eat it, we will eat it!"
Ling Jiheng shook his head and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, not far away, he heard a few thuds and several horses fell.
They were all ridden by guards carrying swords.
"Damn!" Gao Hongbin spat out the grass in his mouth and went forward to check.
Seeing the horse twitching on the ground, he knew there was no chance of survival. He kicked the horse in the stomach in anger, kicking it until it was dead. Then he called for help to drain the blood and divide the meat!
The exiles were frightened by Gao Hongbin and huddled together, but a scorching light flashed in their eyes where no one could see.
It’s good to share the meat so they can have a full meal.
It would be best to let all the guards' horses die so that they can taste the pain of exile like himself.
Many people thought this darkly in their hearts.
This time there was a lot of blood, and the water bags of everyone in the Ling family were filled up.
While everyone else was dividing the meat, the young couple took the water bag and went for a walk in the woods. When they came back, the horse blood inside had been replaced with bitter medicinal juice.
When the Ling family members noticed, they all looked at the two of them in surprise. But no one said anything, as if they all understood each other tacitly.
In exchange for the freshly baked horse meat, Ling Jiheng paid some silver and borrowed a dagger from Gao Hongbin.
Gao Hongbin remembered the roast chicken he had eaten last time, put the silver into his purse, and threw the dagger to him.
He also had someone cut up a large piece of horse meat and gave it to Ling Jiheng along with the seasonings: "You have good cooking skills. Please roast this into jerky for me!"
