Those who had thrown the multi-grain cakes on the ground because the He family father and son said that Zhang was poisoned, glared at them angrily, silently picked up the multi-grain cakes thrown on the ground, and blew them carefully. At the moment, this cake was a treasure.
It was a good thing that Zhang was rescued, but Qiao Yan hated Cocoon Ruoyi because of it.
She looked forward to it day and night, hoping that her mother-in-law would die soon.
I thought the mushrooms would kill her, but she was only sick for a few days.
This time, with such a good opportunity, he was about to suffocate to death, but was saved by Shang Ruoyi.
She looked at Shang Ruoyi hatefully, meddling in other people's business!
Shang Ruoyi, who was grilling, felt a hateful gaze, but when she looked over, the gaze had disappeared.
She couldn't help but frown.
In her past and present lives, she was extremely sensitive to any gaze directed at her.
Along the way, she hadn't provoked anyone except the Second House, so who else could want her life?
The heavy rain continued for a whole day and night, and there was still no sign of stopping.
However, their supplies have all been eaten up.
"Boss, what should we do? We don't have any dry food now." They were not afraid of starving, but they were worried that these prisoners would rebel.
After all, if you are trapped in the mountains, the result will be starvation, but if you rebel, there may be a chance of survival.
"The rain doesn't show any sign of stopping. Someone has to find something to eat." Zhang Hu looked at Shang Ruoyi. She was the fastest at finding food here. It was fine at other times, but now in such a big storm, it sounded a bit inhumane to ask her to go out and find food while they, a group of grown men, were waiting in the Taoist temple. Besides, although the Dingguo Palace had been investigated, the Xiangfu was still as glorious as before.
He thought for a while and whispered, "Give me the raincoat."
After He Jinghe was poisoned, Zhang Hu never let him look for food again. After all, he couldn't even tell whether it was poisonous or not, so no one dared to eat the food he found.
He called He Jingxi, and He Jingxi stood up with a bitter face. How would he know what ingredients they were? Every time, Shang Ruoyi would share what she found with him so that he would not be scolded by the officials. In fact, he could not even tell the difference between wild vegetables and weeds.
Shang Ruoyi looked at He Jingxi's fearless look and suddenly began to worry whether the food she had eaten that night was poisonous.
Sure enough, an hour later, Zhang Hu and He Jingxi came back with a bunch of things. They were all weeds, but some were poisonous and none of them were edible.
When Shang Ruoyi told them the results, the expressions on their faces were very interesting.
There is no doubt that I will be hungry tonight.
Some prisoners took out the multi-grain cakes that they had left over from yesterday. Due to the humid weather, the cakes had already gone rotten. They carefully scraped off the mold spots on them and ate them in small bites.
Qiao and others also took out the multi-grain cakes wrapped in handkerchiefs, but saw many mold spots on them and could not swallow them at all.
The officials didn't even have a bite of whole-grain bread.
Seeing this, Shang Ruoyi had no choice but to lie and say that she had to go to the toilet.
I ran to the foot of the mountain not far away in the rain and picked the ripe corn in the space.
As he picked the fruits, he said, "I wonder if not letting others go hungry can increase my virtue."
When everyone saw her returning to the temple with a pile of corn, they almost dropped their jaws.
"Where did you get this corn?" Zhang Hu walked forward and said in disbelief, "I have never seen anything like corn along the way."
Shang Ruoyi said indifferently: "I saw it on the way back, in that forest." She then pointed to the dense forest behind the Taoist temple. Zhang Hu nodded in understanding. So that's it. Only that dense forest, he and He Jingxi had never been to, and he didn't expect that there was corn in it.
He Jingheng frowned upon seeing this. When he came to hide from the rain before, he had already looked at her appearance and there was no corn at all. It seemed that she had a lot of secrets!
After Shang Ruoyi roasted the corn and sent it to the officials, there was just one corn left for each person, so Aunt Li and Fuzi each got one.
The aroma of roasted corn penetrated everyone's nose. They looked at the golden corn and kept swallowing their saliva.
fragrant! It smells so good!
As soon as the corn enters your mouth, a sweet taste fills your mouth.
"Ruoyi, this corn is so delicious! Can you find the recipe? We can pick some more next time." Lin was surprised and said, "It's really better than any corn I've ever eaten."
Before Lin joined the He family, her father brought back corn from the military camp several times, so she had eaten it before. In Tianshun, only ordinary people would eat coarse grains like corn.
Shang Ruoyi shook her head and said, "There is none where I picked them. I have already picked all these corns back. As for the different taste that aunt said, it is probably because they grow in the mountains. Maybe they have absorbed some spiritual energy for a few days, so they taste better."
As for the rest of the He family, except He Jingheng, they didn't even know what corn looked like. When Shang Ruoyi handed the corn to them, they didn't know where to start, let alone compare the taste.
Watching Lin eat, I knew that this kind of food is best eaten directly.
They originally thought that it was just a temporary way to fill their stomachs and that Lin's words were a bit exaggerated, but when they took the first bite, they suddenly realized that this food called corn was so delicious.
They didn't care about their noble image and started to eat voraciously.
The officials were also extremely surprised. They did not expect that this corn was completely different from what they were used to eating.
Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you are really lucky. You can find food every time."
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this but didn't say anything.
Zhang was very jealous seeing how deliciously they were eating.
He looked at Qiao Yan next to him, and tapped her forehead with a look of regret: "Useless thing, your family background is poor, but you can't cook and don't know the food. It's better for Jinghe to marry a farm girl than you. You are such a waste."
Qiao Yan lowered his head and looked at Shang Ruoyi with deep hatred in his eyes.
Why, why did you want to marry He Jingheng?
If it weren't for you, Zhang wouldn't treat me so badly.
Feeling that venomous gaze again, Shang Ruoyi frowned again.
Who is it?
On the second day, the long-awaited sunshine finally appeared, and the officers hurriedly urged the prisoners to move on.
It had rained for two days in a row and the mountain roads were very muddy. It should have taken us an hour to reach the posthouse, but we ended up walking for a whole morning and still hadn't arrived.
"Boss, what should we do? We have been delayed for two days. If we continue like this, they will definitely scold us when we get to the post station."
"Let alone the hungry prisoners, we can't even walk fast. The mountain road is difficult to walk on. Can we fly there?" Zhang Hu said coldly, "If they don't believe it, they can just walk there themselves."
After walking for another half a day, they finally arrived at the posthouse.
As Shang Ruoyi and the others entered the inn, a familiar voice rang out: "This prince has been waiting for you here for a long time."
