"Why are you digging up ant nests?"
Someone curiously asked the question that the eldest lady wanted to ask.
Mo Yunwen ignored him and quickly dug out the ant nest. A swarm of black ants crawled all over the place, which was extremely disgusting to look at.
But this person didn't care and just grabbed the white eggs.
Soon, the large leaves in front of him were covered with white eggs.
"He actually wants to eat this?"
Finally, someone realized that even the servants of this once prominent family had never seen such a way of life.
Everyone was shocked and felt it was unbelievable. Even the eldest lady thought that this person was a weirdo.
Some people scoffed. "Oh, this thing is so filthy, and you can eat it."
Mo Yunwen ignored these people, quickly packed them up, tied them up with the rope he had picked, and carried them on the road.
When they were resting that day, many people, including the eldest daughter, saw that the man actually used a thin hard stone slab to bake the ant eggs and then ate them with a little salt.
"Miss, he seems to be eating very deliciously. Is that food really delicious?"
Fang Xiushui gnawed on the rough vegetable dumpling in her hand, finding it tasteless. But no matter how unpalatable it was, she had to swallow it.
Seeing that the young lady was silent, Li Jing didn't care. Ever since the mistress passed away, the young lady had been like this, mostly silent.
Even though the third young lady always showed concern for her openly but bullied her secretly, the eldest young lady never said a word.
"Sister, I'm so hungry."
Seeing her younger brother following her closely with small steps, Fang Xiushui felt very uncomfortable.
Her biological mother, the person she cared about most in the world, was gone, and her father had long been divided among several other illegitimate children.
Only her eight-year-old brother is the little guy who relies on her wholeheartedly and is close to her.
If it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have indulged the mother and daughter all these years.
"Yanhong, bear with it for a while. I'll find a way to find food when we get there."
"Well, I'm not hungry anymore. Actually, my stomach was just upset. Hehe..."
Seeing her brother, who was only about one month old and had become so thin that he looked unrecognizable, Fang Xiushui was very anxious.
Because of the incident with the Fang family, he was detained in prison for about another month.
Although he has just been exiled, he has been tortured for more than a month.
I didn't know the situation earlier. If it weren't for some old feelings of my mother, my brother would have died when he fell ill last time.
This time when I was exiled, I was able to receive care from the escorting officer, who was also my mother's old friend.
But they just wanted to be less beaten and scolded, and not deduct the normal coarse food. Other than that, they couldn't do anything.
"I hope my aunt can take care of me at my next stop."
She didn't really care about these kinds of care before, but now, even a steamed bun can make her care.
They finally made it to a place to rest at night. Although very tired, Xiushui immediately asked her brother to stay, and she took Li Jing to find some food.
The escort officer also knew that there was not much food distributed along the way, so in order to reduce the death rate, these people would be allowed to go out and find food.
But there is only half an hour. What if I miss it and can’t come back?
These days, people with tattooed criminal marks don’t have travel permits. Unless you hide in the mountains your whole life, you’ll have to be checked even if you want to buy salt.
Because they know that escape is not an option, people who are exiled generally don't think about running away.
After all, as long as you can survive those years, you will be assigned to some backward areas, or with some connections, you can find another city to settle down. This is all possible.
Fang Hongmei also wanted to find something to eat, but after walking around the area, she found nothing except a few leaves that she had picked up with others.
"Hey, that guy brought back a fish. Oh my god, who is this guy? He actually managed to get such a big fish."
Fang Hongmei was feeling frustrated when she heard someone exclaim.
When he looked up, he saw that the servant whom he always ordered around was actually bringing back a big fish.
Along the way, I have attracted the envy of many people.
Fang Hongmei was confident that she could get some fish soup from this servant who always had to drink at her will.
Thinking of the look of desire this man had given her, Fang Hongmei walked proudly in front of Mo Yunwen.
"Although you didn't do your job well last night, I won't hold it against you. This fish is big enough, and since we don't have a big pot, we'll just grill it and eat it."
Mo Yunwen was so busy catching fish that he didn't even look at her.
Fang Hongmei didn't think much of it. This servant had always been very explicit when looking at her before.
She really enjoyed being looked at by men, not to mention that this slave was very good-looking and had a nice body to look at.
If it weren't for the desire to live a better life in the future, she would have already had some ideas.
So in her opinion, this person belongs to her, Fang Hongmei.
He ignored her and continued talking happily. After a while, he became tired of the strong fishy smell and walked away to stay close to his aunt.
"That servant is quite capable. You should be nice to him from now on. We still need his help along the way."
"Mom, I don't have to be nice to him, he has to be nice to us. You know, I used to follow your instructions. If I wanted to use someone, I had to have control over the people and things they cared about.
This black slave's sister is in my hands too. If she doesn't obey me, I will make her suffer a fate worse than death."
Aunt Ru nodded in satisfaction. "Hongmei, you've really grown up. You've learned 70% of your mother's skills. But we're leaving her outside now. Will the people inside not hear it?"
Fang Hongmei was stunned for a moment. She was in control of the place where people lived, and she only sent money to the manager once a year.
