Chapter 40 Changing Route
After planning a route, the officers drove the convicts eastward along the big crack.
At the moment, I don’t know where to go to get to the route heading south, so I can only go to Li County in the east first.
Li County is two hundred miles away from here, so we must spend the night in the wild.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are still fish in the waters thirty miles to the east, which means that this section of the river is not polluted.
After being thirsty all day, the people found a place to camp in the evening and hurried to the Antong River, a branch of the An River heading towards the East China Sea, to fetch water and boil water.
Jiang Yue ran to the woods and saw some wild rabbits. She caught two wild rabbits from the primeval forest in the space.
After coming out, he told the officer that there were wild rabbits in the woods and asked someone to catch them.
Other fugitives and officials rushed in to catch them. This time, even Jiang Jinheng, the eldest son of the Jiang family, caught a rabbit.
Xiao Wang ordered Jiang Jinyun to deal with the rabbit, but Jiang Jinyun was reluctant.
But now her face was ruined, and even the officials looked down on her. If she made a fuss over such a small matter, she would be whipped again. Jiang Jinyun was afraid of being beaten, so she had to obey Xiao Wang's arrangements.
Sprinkle with barbecue seasoning and skewer two wild rabbits on sticks. Soon, the fresh, fragrant and spicy aroma wafts out.
Xiao Deng took a deep breath as he passed by, "It smells so good, Miss Yue, what did you put in there?"
Hey hey! Who can compete with this modern barbecue seasoning?
He took a small jar and poured two packets of seasoning into it, "Here, this is it. I bought it on Tanxian Street. Sprinkle some on it and it tastes great!
This jar is for you. I have more here. Take it."
Xiao Deng felt embarrassed to insist on giving money. He had liked Jiang Yue very much before, and now with Princess Yao Chi's order, she was definitely not comparable to an ordinary prisoner.
Seeing that he was trying to force the money in, Jiang Yue accepted a tael of silver as a token of appreciation.
Xiao Deng happily took the jar back and sprinkled it on the rabbit. The fragrance spread and all the officials were drooling.
Oh my god! This stuff smells so good!!
Jiang Xue saw that the officials had to pay for the jars, so she also used some silver to buy a jar from Jiang Yue.
The others were not familiar with Jiang Yue and did not dare to buy it rashly.
It was the second wife who came to buy a jar. Anyway, the second wife had never bullied her, she just ignored her.
Jiang Yue also sold them generously, but she didn't sell the others.
The officials ate so much that their mouths were drooling. They all said that they would buy more when they passed by Tan County next time. It was really delicious to sprinkle some on the road.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and ate the rabbit meat guiltily. She probably wouldn't be able to buy it in Tan County anymore.
Because it was too hot during the day, Liu Yu asked the team to continue their journey at four o'clock now, and they would have to travel until ten o'clock in the evening to catch up.
The exiles are no longer the nobles who lived a life of luxury in Kyoto. Now they are willing to endure any hardship just to reach Lingnan alive.
"Brother, it's really hot today! It feels like it got hot earlier this year than in previous years. In previous years, the hottest weather didn't reach its peak until August.
This year, it’s only mid-July and it’s already reached its hottest point.”
Jiang Yue was not far away, listening to the conversation of the officers, thinking to himself, where are we going now?
The 50°C high temperature hasn't arrived yet.
It was too hot at noon and I couldn't fall asleep even lying in the shade of a tree.
It was scorching hot wherever the sun shone, and only under the shade of the trees was there a hint of coolness.
Jiang Yue took Xiao Zhu to the back of a big rock to change the cooling patch and stuffed ice cubes in their mouths. Only then could they take a nap peacefully for a while.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the officers struck the gong on time.
The prisoners got up one after another, feeling dizzy from the heat.
Several elderly people and children showed signs of heatstroke. Liu Yu saw that this was not a good situation, so he asked the officials to go to the woods to pick some honeysuckle.
Officials escort prisoners to exile all year round, and encounter countless emergencies on the way.
They know better than Jiang Yue how to deal with heatstroke.
Honeysuckle was everywhere, and soon I picked a large bunch and immediately started boiling it.
After it cooled down, everyone drank a bowl, and the old and the children felt much better.
We continued on our journey and camped at the foot of a mountain in the wild at night.
The mountain where we camped today is not high, only about one or two hundred meters above sea level.
The trees are lush and the mountains appear dark and mysterious under the starry sky.
The officers were patrolling the area with torches to see if there was any danger. In the dim light of the fire, Jiang Yue looked at the mountains in front of him, feeling a little uneasy.
The novel says that if nothing unexpected happens when passing through the mountains, an accident will happen.
Pull Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhu over and tell them not to sleep too deeply at night.
Now, without anyone saying anything, the team stopped and went to collect firewood nearby.
The team was so large that the officers lit several large bonfires.
Each family took out their own food or dry food for dinner, and Jiang Yue took out a few big fat sweet potatoes from her bag.
Throwing it into the fire, Xiao Zhu spread the rain cloth on the ground. The light from the nearby fire made it difficult to see the movements of the people next to him.
She took out two pieces of KFC and handed them to Xiaozhu to fill her stomach. Xiaozhu no longer found anything her young lady took out strange.
Things that I have never seen before must have been given by Aunt Xie. She won’t tell anyone anyway.
This taste is different from roasted rabbit and chicken. The skin is crispy and the meat inside is very tender.
Xiao Zhu was afraid of being discovered, so he finished the meal in just a few bites and quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, fearing that there would be any crumbs.
Jiang Yue saw her hurriedly eating the ginseng fruit like Zhu Bajie, and laughed secretly, then ate slowly.
Not long after, the aroma of sweet potatoes came from the fire, and Jiang Yue quickly took a stick to dig them out.
Touching ears with hot hands.
Xiao Zhu picked it up and threw it away immediately because it was too hot. "Miss, what is this?"
"This is sweet potato, a grain that can be boiled, baked, or steamed. It tastes delicious no matter how you cook it. Have you never seen it before?"
Xiao Zhu shook his head and followed Jiang Yue in knocking the dirt on the sweet potato with a small stick.
"Can this be eaten? It's all covered in dirt, doesn't it need to be washed?"
Jiang Yue picked up the sweet potato that had been knocked clean of soil. It was no longer hot, so she peeled one open, revealing the soft golden flesh inside.
She handed it to Xiao Zhu, and as expected, she saw the little girl looking at her with sparkling eyes.
"Miss, this sweet potato is so delicious! It's fragrant, sweet, and sticky. I love it!"
Jiang Xue smelled the scent and looked over. Jiang Yue peeled one for Jiang Xue and asked her to take one back to Aunt Zhao.
The master and servant sat by the fire and shared the fragrant sweet potatoes. The aroma reached the noses of the nearby fugitives and made their mouths water, but when they saw that they were Jiang Yue's, they didn't dare to ask for them.
When the officers were building a bonfire, Jiang Yue gave a bag of food to a nearby officer.
He told them that it was dug out from a clearing in the woods, and the officers were impressed by Jiang Yue's good luck.
What delicious food have I never seen before? If she says it must be delicious!
I immediately thanked them and took them back to roast. Now the whole camp is filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
When they rested at night, the master and servant lay on the rain cloth, sleeping a little further away from the fire and were terribly hot.
After walking for an entire afternoon and half the night, everyone was a little tired and slept soundly today.
Jiang Xue and the other two were so obedient that they didn't fall asleep. They had already packed their bags and were ready to leave at any time if they encountered any danger.
