Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!
Chapter 31: Too Unsympathetic
Xiao Jingyi looked at the pretty girl standing in front of him with a frown on his face.
"busy?"
He took a step back inconspicuously. His childhood experiences had made him dislike women getting close to him.
Fang Lan bit her lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Wang, I have something to tell you."
She took half a step forward and suddenly seemed to trip. She lost her balance and leaned towards Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi immediately dodged, with a mocking look in his eyes.
He had seen many ways that women in the harem used to compete for favor since he was a child, and Fang Lan's little tricks were extremely clumsy in his eyes.
He didn't even look at Fang Lan and just walked away.
Fang Lan fell to the ground, looking at Xiao Jingyi's back in disbelief as he left.
She was about to fall, but the man didn't even try to help her up.
He just watched her fall to the ground and walked away without even asking a question.
This... this is too unkind to women, isn't it?
Fang Lan's plan failed. She was so angry that she punched the ground several times, then stood up and left dejectedly.
Little did he know that all this was seen by Yun Fuling who was not far away.
Recently, many young girls have been coming close to Xiao Jingyi.
I don't know whether Xiao Jingyi is naturally unromantic or he does it on purpose to make those girls embarrassed.
Some girls were thin-skinned and when they found that Xiao Jingyi couldn't seduce them, they simply retreated.
Fang Lan is the most indomitable among them, fighting again and again despite repeated failures.
Yun Fuling felt that Xiao Jingyi's romantic affairs had nothing to do with her, so she didn't interfere.
But after seeing Fang Lan being humiliated and Xiao Jingyi avoiding her, Yun Fuling was inexplicably in a good mood.
She secretly took out a few peaches from the space, intending to have some fruit after the meal.
Fortunately, time in her space bamboo building is still, which is equivalent to a natural fresh-keeping storage. The food stored in it is always fresh and will not deteriorate.
As soon as Xiao Jingyi came back, he saw the peaches that Yun Fuling took out.
He was surprised and asked, "Where did the peach come from?"
Yun Fuling lied calmly, "When I was picking herbs yesterday, I accidentally saw a peach tree. There weren't many fruits on the tree, so I picked them all."
"It's hot now, eat a peach to cool down."
Xiao Jingyi's eyes flashed.
He often wanders around the mountains, so how come he doesn't see any peach trees anywhere?
Moreover, he didn’t mention the peaches he picked yesterday when he came back, and only took them out today?
Look at the peaches again. Each one is bigger than an adult's fist, white with a hint of red, bright and juicy, and looks very sweet and juicy.
Peaches like this can be called tribute, wild peaches in the mountains cannot grow like this.
Xiao Jingyi intuitively felt that Yun Fuling was hiding a secret.
Yun Fuling's heart pounded when Xiao Jingyi looked at her.
She wondered if Xiao Jingyi had noticed something?
She tried her best to act as if nothing had happened.
She insisted that she picked these peaches in the mountains yesterday. Who can prove it wrong?
Besides, they had already walked for a whole day. Who could let her lead them back to look for the peach tree?
Besides, it was difficult to tell directions in the mountains, and she discovered the peach tree by accident. Even if she went back to look for it, she could say that she couldn't remember its exact location.
It's all just her good luck!
Seeing Yun Fuling's calm expression, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but feel that he might have been overthinking.
He put the hare down, looked around, and asked, "Where are the others?"
Yun Fuling said, "Jing Mo, Zhou Changji and the other kids are playing on the hillside over there."
"Boss Wu and Xu Dong went to collect firewood. I asked Zhang Sanmu and Kang Mingyuan to see if there are any wild vegetables around and bring some back."
Eating meat all day will cause irritation and constipation, so you need to eat some vegetables with it.
The only vegetables available now are wild vegetables from the mountains.
If others heard what Yun Fuling was saying in her heart, she would probably be beaten.
They are the only ones who can eat meat every day now.
Who doesn’t have a green face after eating wild vegetables?
Everyone in the Fang family now looks miserable.
Their family had run out of food long ago, and recently they had to rely on digging wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.
Fortunately, they live in the mountains, where they can dig up wild vegetables and occasionally pick mushrooms and wild fruits.
The villagers of Linshan Village went back three generations and all of them fled here to escape famine and war at the end of the previous dynasty.
The younger generation in the village sometimes hear their elders talk about what happened when they were fleeing famine.
At that time, there was a severe drought in the world, the land was dry, and there were starving people everywhere. Even grass roots and tree barks could not be found on the roads where people fled from the famine, and many people starved to death.
Although they are also fleeing famine now, the way they are doing is much better than that of their ancestors.
But what people fear most is comparison.
If everyone eats wild vegetables, and thinks about the fact that our ancestors had no choice but to eat tree bark or grass roots when they fled famine, life would naturally be much happier.
But there is someone next to him who eats meat every day. Who would still think that the wild vegetables in his bowl are delicious?
The villagers had been thinking about getting some meat from Yun Fuling before.
But with the Chen family's previous experience, everyone knew that Yun Fuling was not someone to be trifled with, so they had to find another way.
When Fang's mother saw Fang Lan coming back empty-handed, her face immediately darkened and she cursed in a low voice: "Why are you so useless? You can't even handle a man?"
Fang Lan curled her lips: "That Wang Li doesn't even pay attention to me, what can I do?"
Fang's mother was very disappointed: "You are so stupid. He ignores you. You should take the initiative. Men need to be coaxed!"
"If Madam Yun hadn't coaxed him, would he have been able to hunt and bring back prey for Madam Yun to eat every day?"
Although Xiao Jingyi had previously explained that he was working together with Madam Yun, Fang's mother did not believe it.
There are so many families in the village, and there are some who are better cooks than Madam Yun. Why does he only choose to live with Madam Yun's family?
Maybe he has taken a fancy to the young widow, Madam Yun.
Fang's mother glanced at Fang Lan.
Fang Lan's appearance is one of the best in the village, and she can be said to be the beauty of Linshan Village.
Moreover, she has a delicate, pure and pitiful aura, which is the type that many men like.
Fang's mother felt that if she had Fang Lan's beauty and was a few decades younger, she would definitely take action herself to capture Xiao Jingyi.
Fang's mother pulled her daughter and whispered to her:
"Although Madam Yun is good-looking, she is obviously a tigress and a widow with a lot of burdens."
"How can she compare to your youth and beauty? You are much better than her!"
"If you try your best to take down Wang Li, we will have meat to eat every day."
"Mom believes you can do it. Weren't those guys in the village fooled around by you?"
"But let me tell you in advance, just say something nice to coax him into submission."
"At most, you can let him hold your hand and give him some sweet treats, but anything more than that is not allowed!"
"If you sacrifice yourself for a little meat, you'll lose money!"
