cost?

Zhuo Jingyu and An Yuer didn't understand. It was just a few meals, how could it increase the price?

Is it necessary to be so stingy? An Yue'er complained in her heart.

Shi Jia looked at the fire, "Do you know what is the most basic need for a person to survive?"

"What?" I have to say that sometimes An Yue'er is a very competent flatterer.

"Food! This is the most basic need of human beings. When there is not enough to eat, etiquette, justice, integrity, and status are not important." Of course, except for some people who have been educated and have etiquette, justice, integrity, and shame engraved in their bones.

"And what you are lacking now is food."

"This is the prerequisite for your survival and the foundation for your future. Do you think there is a price?"

Zhuo Jingyu and An Yue'er looked at each other. This did make sense, but why did it feel like something was wrong?

However, when it came to this, Zhuo Jingyu also understood, "Zhuo has taken note of Miss Shi's kindness, and I will give another thousand taels of silver to Yu Du when I return."

Thousand taels?

Not much, but okay.

Shi Jia nodded, suddenly feeling the urge to say, "For the sake of your good sense, let me give you some more advice."

An Yuer rolled her eyes and Zhuo Jingyu frowned. He didn't really want to hear it. It would be nice if the food problem was solved.

"Lack of food is also the fundamental reason why unruly people come out of poor mountains and rivers."

As soon as the words came out, Shi Jia suddenly felt a little strange. Why did she say these words to the two of them?

Even thinking about it carefully, she didn't need to go with the two of them...

So why?

Shi Jia suddenly looked at the sky, squinted slightly, and seemed to see chaotic words wrapping around the entire sky. He blinked and disappeared again.

It is an invisible force that drives me to do these things!

Shi Jia understood, but she didn't want to stop. "What did you see along the way? What did you discover?"

The two of them were still thinking about the saying that out of poor mountains and poor waters, unruly people emerged. Their minds had not yet turned around and they didn't know what Shi Jia was asking.

"Poverty, disaster, filth, despair, calculation, and the ferocity like wolves in the eyes of those people..."

Shi Jia sighed, as if saying to the two of them, but also to himself, "Ants can still survive, but people can do anything in order to survive."

The two of them couldn't understand and didn't know what she meant by these words.

"Do you know what caused this?"

"It's a natural disaster. It rained heavily in Chu for nearly a month. The heavy rain caused a reduction in food production and the collapse of houses." Zhuo Jingyu vaguely had the answer in his heart, but he was even more confused. For a person who grew up in the mountains and forests, this is very surprising. what relationship?

Unless she was from a wealthy family as he had guessed.

Only a big family can cultivate such a person.

"It's a natural disaster, but it's not all natural disasters." Shi Jia shook his head, "You have to know that natural and man-made disasters often go together."

"And man-made disasters are often the fundamental cause."

Man-made disaster? What man-made disaster?

Zhuo Jingyu fell into deep thought.

Shi Jia looked at Zhuo Jingyu who was in deep thought and An Yuer'er who was surprisingly quiet, and guessed, is he the protagonist of the world? That's really——

No sense of expectation!

Shi Jia stopped caring about the two of them and watched the fire quietly. After the sweet potatoes were cooked, he broke open the steamed buns and threw them into the pot to cook. When it was almost cooked, he took out three bamboo bowls, filled them one by one, and handed them to the two of them.

"Let's just make do with it." Shi Jia ignored An Yue'er's dissatisfied look and started eating on his own. Zhuo Jingyu calmed down his thoughts and started eating. Seeing this, An Yue'er could only mutter dissatisfiedly, "Just for these crappy things, you're going to cost Brother Jingyu a thousand taels, don't you feel sorry for me!"

Shi Jia raised his head and glanced at him coolly, "If you don't want to eat, you can put it down. Besides, it's not that you, brother Jingyu, need a thousand taels, but that you and your brother Jingyu have a thousand taels each!"

"What!" An Yuer's eyes widened. "you!"

"You want to eat and drink for free! Well, when we get to your capital, I will invite some beggars to go to the street and tell Miss An Yuer that she is ungrateful and has a bad heart..."

"Shut up! It's not just Qianliang, act like you don't have any!" An Yuer'er started eating angrily.

Shijia continued to eat, well, she already has two thousand taels, so she must not be that person!

After learning from Baidi County, Zhuo Jingyu and An Yuer'er behaved much more low-key and were willing to go to villagers' homes in exchange for food. However, the villagers' lives were far more difficult than they imagined. What he got in exchange was not as delicious as the wild vegetables Shijia picked in the mountains.

They could only write about their thoughts on changing food.

Three days later, they finally arrived at the Chu border.

"Crossing this river is the Yu Kingdom!" Zhuo Jingyu pointed to the wide and fast river and said solemnly,

"The river is too fast and it is easy to be washed away." Shi Jia shook his head and looked towards the heavily guarded ferry in the distance. "Instead of thinking about going there, it's better to go there and get a boat."

"The two countries are at war. If you step forward rashly, you will only die." Zhuo Jingyu presented the facts. "Besides, we don't have road signs, paperwork, etc. yet."

Once his and An Yue'er's identities were known to the generals of Chu State, many troubles would surely arise.

In fact, there is another way, which is to go along the border, down or up the river, and find a suitable place to cross the river, but that is too troublesome and unknown at the same time.

"Then what can you do? Build a boat yourself?" Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. Although she could indeed build a boat with her bare hands, it would take a long time and it would only be crossing a river!

Zhuo Jingyu was silent.

"Okay, that's the only way. We'll check out the location tonight and set off tomorrow night." After speaking, Shi Jia jumped off the boulder and went to the forest to find food.

In summer, the sky darkens relatively slowly. At 2:00 p.m. in the evening, the last light in the sky disappeared. Shi Jia went into battle lightly and quickly arrived at the dock with the help of several bunkers.

There are two kinds of boats on the edge of the pier, one is a warship 20 meters long and five or six meters wide, and the other is a small boat less than five meters long and more than one meter wide. The big boats and small boats are connected together and tied with hemp ropes, so they look very strong.

They couldn't drive the big ship, and if they could steal it, they could only steal the small boat. But could the small boat withstand the rushing river?

Shi Jia fell into deep doubts.

And there is no bamboo pole on the boat, so we need to prepare one tomorrow.

After looking at the number of people patrolling and the pattern, Shi Jia quietly withdrew.

"how?"

The three returned to the woods, not daring to light a fire for fear of being discovered by the Chu army.

"The guard was not very tight. I think the Chu army thought that across the natural chasm of the Helan River, the rest of the country could not come over, so they felt comfortable!" Zhuo Jingyu said disdainfully.

"It's really easy to get it." Shi Jia nodded, "I'll get two bamboo poles tomorrow morning and set off in the evening."

"Why get bamboo poles? We can just steal the warship!" An Yue'er was dissatisfied.

"The goal is too big. You just want to return to Yu Country, and I just want to travel around and don't want to cause more trouble!"

"Miss Shi is right!"

"Okay." (End of Chapter)
