Chapter 64: Meat Buns, Wild Boar
Xie Zhizhi just listened, and could imagine what kind of cruel and desperate situation they had experienced, yet they were still so united.
Suddenly I became curious about what kind of person the original owner's father was on the other side of the border.
This group of iron men who had returned from the battlefield were so determined to regard the General's Mansion as their home and as a belief that they still held on to in difficult times.
Never betray.
It's a pity that we met only two years later.
She followed the chief guard and Jing Lan to the cave and also climbed the stairs.
However, there was only an empty cave without any partitions. The guards were all in tattered clothes and had messy hair. Only the face was relatively clean. When they saw her, they shouted excitedly and called her sister loudly.
"It's Sister 께! It's really Sister 께!"
"Sister Xiao, I'm glad you're okay. We've done our best to honor the general!"
"I'm glad you're okay, Sister!"
"Where have you been these days, sister? Are you okay?"
Xie Zhizhi couldn't stand such enthusiasm. The original owner was very happy: "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
The 꺶 family came quietly and listened to what the 껶 sister said.
"I just went to see the Minister of Justice, and the Minister told me that you have been staying in the temple. I want to go back to the General's Mansion to see if you are there."
The housekeeper smiled kindly: "That sister Xiao is really as good as a god!"
"Yeah." Xie Zhizhi looked over and saw that everyone was still wearing the worn-out prison uniforms from days ago. The clothes on their bodies were dirty and thin. Then she remembered that she had emptied the mansion when she left.
When they came back, they couldn't find food, clothes, or anything to use, which was a bit embarrassing.
There were both men and women in the cave, and they did not abandon the maidservants. They were really united.
"Where have you been, Sister Xiao? Are you safe now?"
Seeing them swarming over, Jing Lan raised his hand to stop them and asked calmly, "Stop, stop, stop. Sister 께 is safe now. Jing Yi and I will protect Sister 께. This time I came back to see if you are safe. Are all the awakened people here?"
"Twenty of them went out to look for food, another twenty were guarding various corners of the General's Mansion, and there are ten here."
"We'll talk when we gather. I have some food here." Xie Zhizhi took the package on her back and handed it to the chief guard in front of her: "You must be very hungry. Come home and eat something to fill your stomach."
"No, no, no, Miss Xiao, you take it. It's okay for us to be hungry for a while, and someone has gone out to find food! They will be back soon." The head guard and the housekeeper both waved their hands to refuse, and the rest of the people were not interested either.
Food is so precious now, and it's not easy for us to survive. How can they afford so many bags of food?
"Don't you listen to what Sister Xiao said? Eat quickly when I tell you to!" Jing Lan frowned, and could hear many growling stomachs in his ears.
Xie Zhizhi handed the package directly to the chief guard, narrowed his eyes, and said sternly: "After dinner, I have something to talk to you about."
She now has unlimited food and doesn't care about a few bags.
Seeing Sister Xiao's refusal to accept the offer, the head guard took the bag with trembling hands and quickly opened the wrapping cloth. There were about 100 to 200 white flour bags squeezed together, and tears filled his eyes with excitement.
"Thank you, Miss!"
꺶jia bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Sister 께."
A bunch of people were moved and lined up to get one. Those who got the bag broke it in half and shared it with the people behind them, fearing that there wouldn't be enough.
They were exiled for three days, and every day they had steamed bread and water. On the third day, it rained continuously, and they had no more food.
Because of the rain and hail in the morning, they were discouraged from going out to find food, and now the group that went out to find food has not returned yet.
Each member of the family took half and ate the ninety buns. The wounded lying in the back ate more. The captain of the guard planned to save the remaining ones for those who had gone out and had not eaten yet. It was enough to fill their stomachs but not to die of hunger.
"We've tried eating grass roots on the battlefield many times. Being hungry is nothing."
Xie Zhizhi didn't say anything and left it to them. They could decide for themselves. But this scene still shocked her a little. He was a man of integrity and hardship.
It's quite rare in such a natural disaster-affected world.
After waiting for less than an incense stick of time, someone came back from outside.
Quan shouted in surprise: "They are back."
Xie Zhizhi turned her head and saw a team of 20 to 30 people climbing up the ladder.
He was no longer wearing prison uniform, and he was carrying a lot of things in his hands and on his back.
The man who rushed up the stairs first was tall and thin, but he had the most things. He had a cloth bag hanging around his neck, another on his back, and two bags of rice in his hands. He said hurriedly, "Hurry up, we found rice, dug wild vegetables, and killed a pig. Let's set up a pot and cook it!"
"Now that we have clothes, quickly change out of those tattered prison uniforms! Put on two more to keep warm!"
"There's meat to eat!" He shouted loudly, and quickly took off all the things hanging on his body.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a certain place, he stared, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Hey! Sister Xiao!! It's really your sister Xiao!"
