Hearing this, the man in brocade robe also curled his lips and was in a very good mood.
Although he felt that the matter was very strange, he was happy that the emperor was in trouble.
Now, he felt that the injuries on his body were almost healed.
Bai Li laughed so hard that tears almost came out. "If I knew who these thieves were, I would definitely kowtow to them three times and say 'Grandpa, you are so awesome!'"
He glanced at the young man in brocade robe and continued, "Well, come to think of it, it is indeed a coincidence that Miss Feng and her companions were exiled to Youzhou. Young master, you should prepare 100 taels of gold and pheasants and rabbits, hehe——"
——
Feng Jiuyan and his group hurried all the way, no matter how hard they tried, but when night fell, they still hadn't reached the post station.
Fortunately, they did not have to use the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed this time. They happened to find a dilapidated temple to spend the night.
With the permission of the officials, the prisoners dispersed and rushed to the dilapidated temple to find a good place to rest.
Feng Jiuyan's family of three were not in a hurry. They had a donkey cart and did not need to worry too much about accommodation.
Feng Jiuyan looked up at the temple in front of him. It really was a dilapidated temple. The two gates of the temple were already in tatters, hanging precariously on both sides, and were about to fall down.
When the wind blows, it makes a creaking sound.
The ruined temple was a courtyard with two entrances. The threshold of the main entrance was too high for the donkey cart to enter. So Feng Jiuyan drove the donkey cart around the temple and found that the ruined temple actually had a side door.
The threshold of the side door had long been removed by someone, and it just so happened that the side door was just the right size for the donkey cart to pass through.
Look, Feng Jiuyan easily drove the donkey cart into the courtyard of the dilapidated temple.
The donkey carts were parked in the courtyard at the side door, while the officials and other exiles stayed in the dilapidated temple.
Feng Jiuyan was very satisfied. The wall of the courtyard just covered the donkey cart. People living inside would not be able to see their house unless they walked to the courtyard.
What’s more, the most gratifying thing is that there are only the three of them in the courtyard, so it is quiet.
As soon as they were settled, the officials began to distribute black steamed bread to each prisoner. After a day or two, these wealthy families no longer disliked the steamed bread because it made their throats hurt. They were not used to it, but it was much better than being hungry.
The family that hunted the wild game today has already set up the pot, preparing to continue cooking the half-cooked meat.
Feng Jiuyan also set up a pot outside the courtyard and climbed into the donkey cart. When Madam Feng saw her daughter getting into the cart, she immediately stood outside the cart casually to keep watch for her daughter.
Feng Jiuyan took advantage of the cover of the carriage and took out the half of the chicken that was left uncooked today. She planned to make chicken soup tonight.
He put the pot in the carriage into the space, cleaned the pot with his mind, and then put the pheasant meat into the pot, and also put some cooking wine, red dates, angelica and other tonics into it. He added the right amount of water and then took it out.
She was not worried about arousing suspicion because there were many water bags, gourds and other water containers in the carriage.
Feng Jiuyan took the pot out of the carriage. When Mrs. Feng saw her daughter coming out of the donkey cart, she walked away as if unintentionally.
Madam Feng looked at Feng Jiuyan and said, "Ah Yan, look after your brother while I go out to collect some firewood."
Feng Jiuyan shook her head, "Mom, you and brother stay here, I'll go out and pick it up. It's too late, I'm worried about you going out to pick it up."
After saying that, Feng Jiuyan said hello to Meng Liang, then went out through the side door to collect firewood.
Gathering firewood is impossible!
Avoiding the crowd, she deliberately walked to a more remote and quiet place, put on night vision goggles, bent down to pick up a few dry firewood, and after making sure that there was no one around, she thought about it, and the few pieces of firewood in her hands instantly turned into a pile.
She glanced over and saw a patch of land not far from where she was standing, overgrown with weeds. Looking closely, she found many vine-like plants.
Feng Jiuyan was overjoyed. Isn’t this the vine of yam?
She put away her night vision goggles, carried the firewood and went back first so that Madam Feng could light a fire and stew the chicken soup.
After saying hello to Madam Feng, she wanted to leave immediately. But after thinking about it, she decided to call Song Chen and his sister.
Apart from wanting to help them, she felt that it would be difficult to dig out the yam by her own ability.
The fruit of the yam grows underground, at least two or three meters below the ground. So, she wanted to ask Song Chen and his sister to dig together, so that she could save a lot of effort.
She quietly called Song Ning and Song Chen to go out to the courtyard. Feng Jiuyan thought that she needed to explain to them before they would follow her out, but she didn't expect that they didn't even ask and just followed Feng Jiuyan, trusting her very much.
Feng Jiuyan was very satisfied, and she asked the brother and sister to wait for her through the side door. She fiddled with it for a while, made a torch, climbed onto the carriage, and took out two hoes she had bought in town.
Holding her tools, she quietly went out through the side door.
Everyone was busy looking for food, cooking food, or lying down to rest in the dilapidated temple, and no one noticed the little actions of the three of them.
Once outside, Feng Jiuyan lit a torch and led the brother and sister to the land overgrown with weeds. Feng Jiuyan handed the torch to Song Ning, "Miss Song, hold the torch."
Then, she gave a hoe to Song Chen and held one herself. Feng Jiuyan pointed at the vines and said, "See? The fruits produced by those vines are called yam. They grow underground and are edible!"
After these words came out, Song Chen and Song Ning looked at the vines with surprise, "Great! Miss Feng, let's dig quickly!"
After saying that, Song Ning urged her brother to quickly pick up the hoe and dig yam.
Feng Jiuyan: "......"
Well, the brother and sister's expressions at this moment were just like she had picked up money, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
Feng Jiuyan looked at the two of them with hesitation, "Don't be too happy too soon. I don't know if there are any fruits. Besides, we have to dig at least ten feet deep."
Song Ning waved his hands and lowered his voice, "Well, I thought it was something else. As long as there is hope, we can't give up."
The smile in his voice could not be concealed.
Feng Jiuyan smiled and stopped talking. She picked up the hoe and started digging yams.
The three of them worked together and took turns digging for a while, and finally saw yam.
The Song Ning siblings were overjoyed, but they also knew to keep their voices down so as not to attract others.
They dug for a long time before they dug out a dozen yams. The yams were not big, only about the size of two fingers.
But it was enough to make the brother and sister happy.
They dug up most of them, but there were still many vines left. They didn't plan to dig them up anymore, leaving a few for others to enjoy.
Otherwise, you will easily be hated by others.
