But even though they had never seen He Jingheng's skills, he was Tianshun's famous general, the god of war. How could a mob like them compare to him?
Besides, Shang Ruoyi's skills don't seem to be unskilled.
Neither of them is easy to deal with. Even if they have more gold, they can't catch it.
Seeing Aunt Li and her son, Li Yuan, eating and drinking well in the He family, they were really envious.
The three men who had previously snatched her water bag stepped forward and said, "We will also serve as your guards."
Shang Ruoyi glanced at them and said calmly: "I don't need guards now."
"Anything else is fine, as long as it can provide us with food and clothing!"
Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but sneer at their mean faces.
It seems that I am treating her as my victim. Seeing that she has food and drink and new shoes to wear, she comes to my place to recuperate.
"We in the He family don't need servants right now, so you guys go back now!"
The three men were turned away, but they dared not say anything. After all, they were kicked away by Shang Ruoyi before, and their abdomens still ached when they thought about it.
They returned to their seats and looked in the direction of the He family unwillingly.
"I just saw that Shang Ruoyi has a lot of delicious food in her backpack."
"I seem to smell the smell of roast chicken."
“And meat buns.”
In fact, the meat in Shang Ruoyi's backpack that carried food only contained some raw pork, which she was going to make a plate of fried meat.
In her previous life, she seldom ate pork and found it very greasy.
It seemed that the original owner was really starving in this life, and she actually thought pork was very delicious.
After leaving the town, everyone entered the 꺶 Mountain. The air in the mountain was very humid, and birds could be heard singing from time to time. Shang Ruoyi walked behind, squatting on the ground and digging something from time to time.
After seeing this, He Yunyi came over and asked softly, "Sister-in-law, what are you digging?"
"They are all herbs." Shang Ruoyi showed her what she had dug: "This one is Amaranthus can clear away heat and detoxify, this one is Cnidium monnieri, this one is Bupleurum, and this one is Polygonum multiflorum."
"Sister-in-law, you know so many medicinal herbs. Can you teach me?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "Of course."
Shang Ruoyi led her to dig and explain all the way, from the names of the herbs to their functions and how to use them as medicine, she explained everything clearly. At first, only He Yunyi listened, then it became He Yunyi and Cong Fangzhi, and later many female prisoners followed her.
Zhang looked at the group of people surrounding her and glanced at her several times, her eyes full of mockery. It was really shameless for a woman to show herself in public.
But she only thought about it in her mind. After the last lesson, she didn't dare to say it out loud.
After staying with her for a few days, He Yunyi and Cong Fangzhi both had a new understanding of Shang Ruoyi.
It seemed like there was nothing she didn't know. For a moment, He Yunyi admired her more than her own brother.
Midsummer is gradually passing and the weather is getting cooler.
The temperature in the mountains is lower than outside, especially in the morning and evening, you can always feel a chill.
Shang Ruoyi dried some of the herbs she picked and put them in a backpack, and then planted some of them in the space.
The places of exile were the most barren and desolate places in Tianshun. Not to mention herbs, even crops might not grow there.
So these herbs might be available in the Exiled Lands.
One day they came to an open space and the officer ordered them to set up camp. The family picked up some dry firewood nearby and cooked porridge.
The vegetables and meat in the basket had long been eaten up.
He Jingheng's leg has recovered a lot and he no longer needs anyone to support him, but the leg with broken tendons is still a little lame.
"I'll go with you." He Jingheng walked up to him and whispered.
"No, the mountain road is difficult to walk on. I can do it by myself." Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Your legs are not healed yet, so try to walk less on the mountain road."
"Yeah." He Jingheng nodded, turned and left.
Shang Ruoyi didn't think much about it. She said something to the officer and walked up the mountain carrying the bamboo basket.
He Jingheng looked at her back and felt as if his heart was blocked by a ball of cotton. His breathing was a little difficult. This woman was so unromantic.
He Lingsheng's two spies saw all of this and whispered together, "Did you see that? That woman seemed to have had an argument with He Jingheng."
"He Jingheng's expression changed."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."
The two people had completely forgotten what He Lingsheng asked them to do here.
Shang Ruoyi walked up the mountain, confirmed that there was no one around, and skillfully took out some vegetables and eggs from the space, and picked some wild fruits.
The wild fruits here tasted a bit sour, but it was better than nothing. When there was really no food, the wild fruits could also fill the stomach. Although there was a lot of food in her space, many things were not suitable to be taken on the road of exile.
Now the food in her space has matured, and the vegetables she planted before have also grown. The cabbages and radishes are many times more tender than those grown outside, and they are very juicy and pleasing to the eye.
There are dozens of chickens and ducks. Dozens of eggs are laid every day, and new chicks and ducklings are hatched constantly.
The white tiger was very bored in the space every day, and Shang Ruoyi would release it every time she came to look for food.
Sometimes the white tiger could help her catch some wild rabbits and pheasants. The white tiger caught a wild rabbit and dangled it around her legs with the rabbit in its mouth. Shang Ruoyi touched its head and smiled: "Why don't you eat the game you caught?"
The white tiger shook its head and threw the hare into the basket. Ever since it drank the spiritual spring water in the space, it had no interest in food outside. However, those little things in the space smelled so good and it wanted to have a bite.
Every day when it looked at the chickens, ducks and rabbits, it couldn't help but want to take a bite of them, but Shang Ruoyi warned it that if it ate these little things, she would never let it drink the fragrant and sweet spring water again.
When she was about to go back, she suddenly found a red dot in the bushes. She was moved and hurried over. It turned out to be ginseng!
She took the shovel in the space and gradually removed the soil next to it, digging down very carefully for fear of damaging its roots.
After a while, when she dug out the whole ginseng, she almost cried out in surprise. This ginseng must be at least fifty pieces, and it was wild ginseng. If it was in the previous life, who knows what kind of sky-high price it would be sold for.
In fact, in Tianshun, this kind of ginseng is hard to find. Even if it is available, it has all been brought into the imperial palace or the mansions of high-ranking officials.
