Chapter 52 Adjusting Your Mindset 2
The main course for dinner was still meat buns, but the kitchen staff cooked a pot of hot, thick, almost watery chicken porridge. As long as there's enough oil and water, this soft, glutinous, and simmered liquid is more nourishing to the stomach. Jing Chunxi handed the two plucked and gutted chickens to the cook.
The other three families still had a fixed quota of one white flour steamed bun per person. The white flour steamed bun was very large, not fluffy but very chewy. Adding a black flour steamed bun was enough to fill the stomach, so that they would have strength in case of a fight tomorrow. At this time, Jing Chunxi did not dare to treat his clansmen badly.
Three bowls of braised pork were also served, but they weren't for them. Jing Chunxi and Tang Shuang sent a large bowl each to the two guest rooms where the officials were staying and to the upper room where Master Liu was staying. They also rationed two large meat buns to each person and had the cook bring a pot of liquor to each of their rooms.
After they left, Scarface couldn't help but say to Master Liu, "This General's Mansion is quite sensible. Fortunately, there is a married woman to help us, otherwise I'm afraid our trip would have been in vain.
Look at the other three families, they are covered in dust and dirt, and they don’t look like they have any money.”
Master Liu smiled, shook his head and said, "You are shallow. It can only be said that the General's Mansion is magnanimous and knows etiquette.
Don't just look at the appearance of the other seven brothers. If you starve them for a few more days, do you think the other three brothers will be able to sit still? How can you raid their houses so thoroughly? "
"That's true, but they don't look like they can hide anything good on them."
"That's why I say you're stupid. Who wouldn't take the banknotes with them first when their property was confiscated and they were exiled? How could they keep the gold and silver if they kept them on their person? Look at the gold hairpin on the old lady's head in the general's mansion. Isn't it hidden away now?"
"That's true. We'll raid the General's Mansion first. It won't be hard for them to hide after hearing the news. Some relatives won't dare to come to Wuli Pavilion to see you off, and might instead come to the outskirts of the city. Anyway, I believe that following Master Liu will definitely lead to a good life."
After that, the two of them started drinking together.
In other rooms, there were delicious food and drinks, and the other officials smiled more.
After two days of walking, I saw seventy or eighty prisoners along the way, and only one family brought a few packages on a broken cart. I thought the journey would be nothing but plain food. Now it seems that there is a general's mansion that is sensible and at least knows to send them some delicious food.
After wiping the old general's entire body with hot water and applying medicine, Jing Yongcheng actually forced himself to sit up and eat. Xiaobei was frightened by his stubborn temper, fearing that if he pulled on his wound, it would bleed again.
But he also knew that he could not be persuaded because of his stubborn temper. Sure enough, when he was helped to sit up, he did not even groan. However, he still frowned. The wound was still very painful at this time. But after Jing Changning and Xiaobei checked it, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there was no bleeding at all.
"Father, judging by your wound, you should be able to lie on your side occasionally in a couple of days."
"Maybe. It's just that the wound started to itch a little today. It feels very uncomfortable if I don't scratch it."
"Old General, the wound is a little scabbed, don't scratch it. The medicine my cousin gave me is really good, and I've never seen this medicine powder before. If it was the one used in the army before, you would have to suffer for at least a few more days." In fact, if other medicines were used, it would be hard to say if the condition was more serious. The rest of the family didn't know, but Jing Changning and Xiaobei knew it very well.
"Grandfather, are you okay? Does it still hurt?"
"Grandfather can sit up now."
"Great, Grandpa is sitting up."
……
Jing Yongcheng: "I thought that even if I didn't confess directly, I would have to lie down for three to two months before I could move. It seems that I am still in good shape. My body has recovered faster than when I was in the military camp." General Jing looked at the group of grandchildren who gathered around him, forced a smile, and said happily.
Seeing Xiaobei trying to feed him again, the old general quickly grabbed the bowl himself and said, "You should eat more too. I'm afraid your legs will be broken if you follow us to Lingnan. The climate there is not good."
Xiaobei's hands were empty, and without a second thought, he quickly stood up and walked a few steps for the old general to see. He folded his hands behind his back, walked a few steps, and turned in a circle. He felt that his waist had become much stiffer, no longer hunched, and he didn't look like he had been walking for two days. His steps were steady, and he didn't look as lame anymore. "I am lucky to be able to come out this time because of the General. If I hadn't come out, my legs wouldn't be so strong. I'll continue to use the medicinal wine and plasters that my cousin gave me. Maybe I'll be all right when I get to Lingnan. After dinner, I'll try two plasters on the old general. Maybe they will be effective for your waist and chronic cold legs too."
Seeing Xiaobei stand up and jump a few times, the old general quickly stopped him: "You, I thought you were just a new recruit. Hurry up and eat, then have a good sleep. Tell me about your later experiences in the village tomorrow."
Xiaobei has been guarding the old general these two days, occasionally telling him about the interesting things that happened in the village over the past ten years, and occasionally recalling the days when he was with the old general and in the military camp. The two of them got along very well, and the old general occasionally forgot the itchy feeling on his back.
This time, the old general ate a large bowl of chicken porridge and three large meat buns. Jing Yongning and the four men were extremely excited. The fourth man even dragged the third man to the women's room to tell them the news.
Jing Chunxi smiled and squeezed into her grandmother's arms, saying sweetly, "Mother said that Sister Xi is blessed and has the protection of the fairy aunt. Grandma, do you believe it? Grandpa will be able to stand up in five days at most."
Anyway, she believed in it, so she should give her grandmother some eye drops from time to time to show that her words were accurate and brought good luck, so that things would be easier in the future.
"Good! Good! Grandfather is protected by this lucky star, Sister Dexi. It's good that he can stand up."
The old lady finally put her mind at ease. Seeing the old man in such a state when he was carried back the day before yesterday, she thought he would die before leaving the capital.
Why didn't she feel so sad now? Wasn't it the blessing of her daughter and granddaughter? If they hadn't come to tell her the news that morning, she couldn't imagine what she would be like now.
The old lady said: "If Qiu Rong hadn't asked Sister Xi to bring these good medicines, I'm really afraid that your old man would have confessed directly." In the prison, it's hard to get things done even if you have money. They are penniless. Not to mention hiring a doctor, it's even difficult to find someone to buy a bottle of medicine. Wouldn't that delay it!
Zhuang helped the old lady wipe herself, and not wasting the used water, she brought it back to soak her feet. Soaking the feet warmed the body and relieved fatigue. She said, "I knew my father was blessed. He saved so many people in Daqing that the King of Hell was reluctant to take him away. The Buddha must be blessing us from Heaven!"
The old lady said: "Yes, our General's Mansion has done nothing wrong. Sister Xi said that it is the fairy aunt who is blessing us! We will definitely have a safe and smooth journey." After saying that, she clasped her hands together and muttered to herself.
After a while, he said, "Hey! I used to be so pampered that I often had back and leg pains. Now I think it's better to move more. After these two days of exercise, I feel very comfortable and my back is not so stiff anymore. Maybe I can live a few more years in exile."
The others looked at her and laughed, echoing her words.
