Chapter 51 [As Easy as Pie]
Wang Zifu saw that they encountered a swarm of insects and birds of prey like eagles, so he didn't dare to stay in one place for too long. After resting for half an hour, they continued on their way.
It would take three days to get down the Qinglin Mountain if you were quick. At night, the forest would be covered in fog, and you would not be able to continue your journey.
The exile team also kept a distance from the people from Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion. Although everyone didn't understand, they could see that these two accidents were aimed at Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion.
Some people spread rumors that the rebellion of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion had angered God, but more people did not dare to say anything.
Jiang Lili and others were happy and at ease with the actions of others.
The four escorts from Guan Yue Stronghold were still doing their job conscientiously. Except for Escort Cen who led the way in front, the remaining three led the horses pulling the carts and remained vigilant.
Now that Madam Yang no longer relied on a cart, a large birch box was placed on the cart to carry the "luggage" of Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion.
In fact, the box was empty, but with this trick, it was much easier for Jiang Lili to "take" things out.
The injured eagle stood on the box like a sculpture, its right leg tied to the cart.
With Xin Che's training, the falcon is no longer as aloof as before. It will occasionally respond to one or two commands, but it is still most interested in eating.
All kinds of canned fish and meat from modern times have fascinated Brother Ying so much that he can't walk and has completely forgotten where he came from.
This falcon was obviously afraid of Xin Che, but was very friendly to Jiang Lili who was feeding it.
Jiang Lili had already bandaged Falcon's wound.
The exile team continued on their journey. Jiang Lili noticed that there were only various poisonous plants and wild fruit trees along the way!
The tree she encountered was full of bright red pomegranates.
Fresh fruit!
Before Jiang Lili entered the mountain, she heard from various people how terrible the poisonous insects and weeds in the Qinglin Mountains were, but she ignored the fact that as a mountain in the subtropical region, Qinglin Mountain was also a treasure mountain.
Not knowing whether these fruits had been poisoned by the Miao tribe, Jiang Lili picked a pomegranate with her sleeve and gave it to Hou Xiaoxiao in the form of a red envelope, asking her to identify it.
With Hou Xiaoxiao, the safety inspector, supervising them, Jiang Lili happily brought the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion to enjoy the wild fruits.
I have to say that the temperature difference between day and night in the Qinglin Mountains is large, so the fruits grown on the trees are so sweet!
By the time the sun set, the people from Marquis Zhaoping's mansion had already picked a full basket of fruit.
Some convicts noticed Jiang Lili picking the colorful fruits from the trees and eating them with great relish, so they were hesitant. Only after they saw that Jiang Lili and the others were fine after eating, did they start picking fruits as well. However, the ripe fruits on the trees had already been taken by Jiang Lili.
Jiang Lili, a workaholic, used to work part-time in a fruit store and knows how to judge the taste of fruits by their appearance.
Qin Chuan and Qin Liren looked at Jiang Lili, who seemed to be in a relaxed state as if she was strolling in her own orchard. Is this exile?
Hou Xiaoxiao, the double agent who was following the team, still had to pretend at this time. She gritted her teeth and said to Qin Chuan, "Uncle Qin, why don't you take action? Are you letting them live so comfortably?"
"These yamen runners are too cowardly. When they saw poisonous insects attacking the Marquis of Zhaoping's mansion, they just ignored these fugitives. How shameless!"
Qin Chuan was a little annoyed by Hou Xiaoxiao's urging: "No rush, wait until tonight to catch them."
When fog gathers in the forest at night and the temperature drops suddenly, it is more suitable for various reptiles and venomous snakes to come out and move around.
Hou Xiaoxiao was still cursing: "They really shot down my falcon!"
"What the hell did you do? I lent you such a precious bird of prey, and it fell into enemy hands!"
Qin Chuan noticed the falcon tied to the cart and its bandaged wings, and suddenly laughed: "They didn't kill the falcon, but kept it and treated its wounds. They are really too soft-hearted."
Qin Chuan sneered. He had previously obtained a music score from the old falcon trainer. The tones he blew could control the falcon to go crazy and attack the people around it.
Now, that ignorant girl actually keeps an eagle by her side, which is simply raising a tiger to harm herself.
Do you think the birds of prey raised by Miao people using poisonous insects are obedient ornamental pets?
The Qin family now had more confidence.
The sun was about to set. After discussing with Master Cen, Wang Zifu found a place with more exposed rocks as their campsite for the night.
The vegetation in the mountains and forests was so dense that it was difficult to find large open spaces, so the exile teams often camped in a long and narrow formation.
The yamen runners were not afraid that the prisoners would escape. After all, in such a dangerous mountain forest, separating from the main group would be seeking death.
In ancient times, military tents were called curtains, and the yamen runners carried a tent with them.
But Liu Liufan had to use local materials to build a simple tent.
To set up a tent, you need to insert thick branches into the ground, tie them up with thin ropes, and finally cover them with tarpaulin.
It sounds simple, but the actual operation is complicated, laborious and time-consuming.
Therefore, everyone is working hard to set up the tents now. They have to finish it before it gets completely dark to block out the poisonous smoke from the forest at night.
The Zhaoping Marquisate simply set up its tents at the end of the team, keeping a distance from each person in the exile team, so that any movement would not easily attract attention.
Jiang Lili put the backpack in the big box on the cart. After a while, Xiaopang brought four tents. Xin Cheng was good at hands-on work, so he and Xin Che Zhaoping Hou started to assemble the tents according to the instructions. Xin Yan and Liao Dabao assisted by passing parts and so on.
The empty boxes on the cart can be taken down and covered with a layer of oilcloth, and then used as a dining table, which is extremely convenient.
Jiang Lili, Chen Shi, Yin Zhen and other female family members began to prepare dinner.
The Miao tribe had not yet shown up, so it was unsafe to leave their base and go into the mountains to hunt game. Jiang Lili thought of getting some dried meat and roasting it first.
When she raided the house of the richest man in Langyan Village, she swept all the food in the food storage room into her personal folder.
Jiang Lili took out the dried beef and mutton, and Yin Zhen and Chen had already set up the barbecue fire and rack.
But as soon as it was time for dinner, Xiaopang sent a message.
@张小胖: Sister Li, I released water into the pond back home today and caught a ton of crayfish. Would you like a bucket?
Jiang Lili's eyes lit up. Now that the sun had set, the temperature in the mountains had dropped. If she could eat spicy crayfish, it would help ward off the cold!
[@Jiang Lili: Yes!]
@张小胖: Okay, wait a minute, my uncle's catching some crayfish right now!
@Jiang Lili: Xiaopang, do you have any fish? Bring some over and I'll grill them for you. I'll also bring some seasonings!
