Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

After lying down for the whole afternoon, Zhao Yuanzhen couldn't help but get out of the car and take a walk when she parked the car at night.

The village's horse-drawn carriages were on the road until around eight o'clock in the evening, when the village chief found a place at the foot of a mountain far away from the official road as a place to rest for the night.

It’s not that I don’t want to travel overnight.

First, after a long journey, the horse needs a rest, otherwise the horse will be exhausted to death.

Second, you have to light a torch when traveling at night, otherwise you can't see the road. But a torch is a bright target in the dark. It's like telling others, come and catch me. I'm here.

After comprehensive consideration, everyone decided to find a place to rest.

But the place we chose is far from the official road and close to the mountain. If it doesn't work, we can go into the mountain.

After parking the car, Zhao Yuanzhen got out and strolled around. He turned on the scanner and found that no soldiers were chasing him, which made him feel relieved.

Qian Xiaohui and the others were preparing dinner, trying to keep it simple. The village chief had already said that the cooking fire should not be kept too long, otherwise it would be bad if the soldiers were attracted.

So most families just boil some hot water or hot soup.

Qian Xiaohui was also preparing to make some hot soup and then eat some steamed buns.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at her preparations and decided to take care of dinner by herself later.

"Xiao Hui, just boil some water. I'll get dinner later."

"Oh, okay, mother. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the carriage. Be careful not to touch the wound."

"Well, okay, Mommy got it."

Zhao Yuanzhen thought about bringing out some braised pork rice or something like that, and everyone would go into the carriage to eat.

It was windy today, and their house was downwind. It shouldn't be a problem. Even if someone smelled the fragrance, they could say it was a soup made from dried meat.

Zhao Yuanzhen took 15 rice bowls and ate them in two carriages.

There is one compartment for men and one compartment for women.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't eat the rice bowl, but bought a bowl of porridge for herself.

She wasn't very hungry at the moment and seemed unable to eat.

Maybe it's because she has a good physical condition and doesn't seem to be having a fever.

Not bad. If this continues, the wound will scab over in a few days.

After dinner, several women went to clean up.

Fill the hot water bottle with water and put it in the prepared cloth bag.

Then he went to practice swordplay.

After Zhao Yuanzhen's injury today, several people felt a little stimulated and decided to practice sword fighting better.

Because the rest time was late, it was already past 9 o'clock after dinner.

Zhao Yuanzhen was sitting in the carriage, leaning against a pillow.

Sun Zhang came over.

"Second brother, are you in the carriage?"

"Mom, I'm here! Please wait. I'll be down soon."

"Can you come down? If not, don't come down! How's your arm? Is it serious? Have you taken medicine?"

"Mom, it's okay, wait for me for a moment."

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that it would be too cold at night, so she took out the fur coat she had bought some time ago and put it on.

Then he lifted the curtain of the carriage and was about to jump out.

"Don't jump, don't jump. Just sit there. What if you jump and the wound gets jarred?"

Sun Zhang quickly stopped her, this tiger daughter-in-law, she didn't even take care of her body.

Zhao Yuanzhen touched her nose and said, "Okay. If you don't allow me to dance, then I won't dance."

Then he sat on the monkey car.

Because the carriage had been taken away to be fed with hay and water.

So the support points at the front of the carriage are two large wooden boxes.

It is also very sturdy and stable and will not fall.

"Mom, don't worry, my arm is fine. I'll just need to take care of it."

"You said you were fine. I asked Zhijuan, and she said the blood spurted so far! You, don't take it lightly, take good care of yourself! It's all the villagers' fault for holding you back. If you hadn't bought time for the village, you wouldn't have gotten hurt. How painful it must be!"

Sun Zhang's eyes began to tear up uncontrollably.

This daughter-in-law got hurt because of everyone. There is no one in the village who can do anything, so she, a woman, has to suffer this. If the second son was still alive, he would never let his daughter-in-law get hurt and suffer!

"Mom, it's okay. It doesn't hurt much. I was almost out of the shooting range when the arrow hit me. The force was much smaller and it didn't penetrate deep. There was no bone injury, so don't worry."

Zhao Yuanzhen hurried to comfort the little old lady.

Before the old lady could reply, the village chief and Zhang Sandao came over.

"You're from the Qinghe family. My second grandfather knows about it, and everyone in the village knows about it. You risked your life to save all the men in our village.

We all remember that you were injured this time because of the whole village. There is nothing good to do now that we are fleeing. Take this little money first. When you get to the next city, you can buy some delicious food to replenish your body.

Although it is insignificant compared to your life-saving grace, it is still a small token of our appreciation. We have discussed and decided that when things are settled, each family will give you an acre of good land as a small token of our gratitude for saving your life."

The village chief handed Zhao Yuanzhen a small cloth bag, thought about her injured arm, and placed it at the door of the carriage.

"Second brother, you should take good care of your injuries and eat something good to replenish your body. Being shot by an arrow is no joke! You have to take good care of yourself."

Zhang Sandao looked at her and said, although he couldn't see the wound through her clothes, he always felt that the wound on her arm must be very serious.

"Yes, your father is right. I got you some eggs. I'll ask them to cook them for you later."

Sun Zhang placed the basket in front of the carriage.

There was half a basket of eggs in it. I bought them in Xingzhou Prefecture yesterday. I had originally intended to give them to my children at home, but now I had brought them all over to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't want it, but her arm was injured, so she didn't dare to refuse. She could only watch her put down the basket.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Second Grandpa, Dad, Mom, for your concern. I will take good care of myself, so don't worry."

"Well, that's good. You should take a rest then. Come in quickly. It's cold outside. Don't let your wound get frozen. Then we'll go back."

The village chief gave her some instructions and then went back.

Sun Zhangshi and Zhang Sandao also went back.

Zhao Yuanzhen entered the carriage, took off his fur coat and put it aside.

It was a bit cold this evening. He took the small cloth bag with one hand.

When he opened it, he found 100 taels of silver.

So many!

It seems that I did the right thing by breaking into the city gate this time, as long as the villagers are good people and not ungrateful and heartless.

She was willing to lend a hand. After all, humans are social animals. Even if you can avoid dealing with people, your descendants can't.

So, if the villagers are willing to give her something in return, she will also be willing to return the favor.

Put away the silver.

Zhao Yuanzhen held the hand warmer in one hand.

There's nothing to do. Let me read a book.

Let’s take out the book “Analysis of Energy” that I bought this afternoon and have a look at it.

She put the book on the table, weighed it down with paper, and turned the pages with her right hand.

Watch slowly.

When it was almost 12 o'clock, Zizisunsun and Zhang Qingyan came back from sword practice.

After washing up, they started making their beds and prepared to go to sleep.

Because my mother was injured, I was afraid of touching the wound.

They decided to let Mother sleep in a carriage by herself tonight.

Let Zhang Xinshu and Zhang Zijin sleep in the other carriage. The rest of them will sleep on the floor.

I found a few sticks and used them to surround the tarpaulin.

Then they started making the bed. After laying out a layer of oilcloth and before putting down the mattress, Zhao Yuanzhen asked them to wait.

I bought a few palm mats and laid them on the floor. Then I laid out the mattress and quilt. I put two more quilts on top.

This should keep you warmer. At least the ground won't let in any cold air.

For some unknown reason, Zhao Yuanzhen found that some ordinary daily necessities or food were fine and did not cause her to feel distressed.

It seems that only powerful things will be distressed. Zhao Yuanzhen pondered to herself. This needs to be slowly experimented to find the law.

Then everyone went to sleep.

Although Zhao Yuanzhen slept for a long time in the morning, she fell asleep unexpectedly quickly at night.

Perhaps because of the brown mats, Zhang Qingyan and the others were not woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

I slept until morning.

It was just getting light. The villagers got up and started preparing food. They thought of making some dry food for when they couldn't cook at night.

So everyone woke up early.

Qian Xiaohui and her friends did the same. They steamed two pots of jujube flower buns.

I also cooked a pot of thick millet porridge for Zhao Yuanzhen. It was boiled until the rice oil was almost out. I also boiled two eggs that my grandmother brought over.

Zhao Yuanzhen got up, washed up, and put away the palm mat. Then he drank some millet porridge and ate some egg buns in the carriage.

Even if it's just breakfast.

Everyone ate quickly and cleaned up quickly after eating.

When the village chief strikes the gong, you can set off immediately.

In addition to giving Zijin his usual enlightenment, Zhao Yuanzhen would also scan from time to time to see if there were any soldiers chasing after them.

After the enlightenment, he and Zhang Xinshu went to another carriage to continue reviewing.

Li Zhijuan and Zhang Qingyan also went to another carriage.

Qian Xiaohui was guarding on the car.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked her to come in and sit down, but she refused, saying that she was afraid of disturbing Zhao Yuanzhen's rest.

Zhao Yuanzhen was helpless. It was already minus 13 degrees Celsius today.

I had to see if there was anything warm I could buy.

Well, this fur vest is not thick.

Clean and soft sheepskin is cut into the style of a vest. The outer surface is made of embroidered cotton cloth, and there is a circle of rabbit fur on the cuffs and collar. It looks nice and warm.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought 7 items, spending a total of more than 200 points.

2 pieces for adult men, one dark blue and one dark red, these two pieces are given to the eldest son and the second son.

1 smaller light green one for Zhang Xinshuo.

A red festive children's style dress for Zhang Zijin.

The two daughters-in-law wore one light blue and one light red.

Couple's style, good.

Prepare some lavender for Zhang Qingyan.

Women's ones are more delicate and beautiful. They are slanted and buttoned. This keeps you warm and protects your belly.

Zhao Yuanzhen handed Qian Xiaohui's clothes to her first and asked her to put them on first, and they could divide the rest later.

"Mom, this is so beautiful. If I wear it like this, I will go blind. How about I put it away first and wear it later?"

Qian Xiaohui looked at the light blue vest, which was embroidered on the fine cotton cloth. A circle of silver coins was embroidered around the edge of the entire vest with two circles of bright lines. There was also lake blue gold powder embroidery on the large surface.

And this rabbit fur is all around the collar, cuffs, and the edges of the front buttons. It feels soft.

The entire vest is lined with leather, which feels soft and warm.

"Put it on. Don't get frozen while sitting outside. Women are afraid of the cold. If you get too cold, I'll buy you some more. Don't be afraid."

Zhao Yuanzhen knew that her daughters-in-law were all good and were used to being frugal.
