Asking for a divorce on the way to exile, finding a husband is a great pleasure
Chapter 24: Buying Peace with Food
Shen Yitian felt uneasy when Yuan Dutou stared at her, fearing that he would scold her in anger, so she took two green pears and dried meat to give him some treats.
The road of exile was difficult, and Yuan Dutou carried dry food with him, but these fresh fruits were rare.
He had to watch over the prisoners and had no time to go to the mountains to look for wild fruits. Seeing the two juicy green pears handed to him by Shen Yitian, Yuan Dutou's mouth immediately began to water.
"We only have a short break at noon. Why didn't you eat anything and went to look for wild fruits?" Yuan Dutou asked suddenly, looking at the two green pears.
Shen Yitian was a little shocked. This Yuan Dutou actually knew that she didn’t eat anything at noon?
"You were not here when the steamed buns were distributed at noon, and you didn't ask us for them when you came back." Seeing her surprised look, Yuan Dutou kindly helped her out.
Shen Yitian finally breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile, saying, "My grandma sent me some food yesterday, so I don't have to eat steamed bread for the time being."
Yuan Dutou hummed: "As long as it doesn't delay the journey, anything is fine. Go and rest."
After taking the green pear and the dried meat, he looked at Shen Yitian with a much kinder look. Shen Yitian breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the spot she had chosen earlier to lean against.
Yuan Dutou lowered his head to pick up a green pear to eat, but when his hand touched the pear, his eyes were attracted by the small pile of dried meat on the leaves.
Knowing that the Shen family had sent someone to deliver something yesterday, he didn't find it strange that Shen Yitian could take out dried meat.
But why is this jerky different from what they usually eat?
The dried meat they usually ate was dark, hard, and woody. Although it had a bit of meat flavor, it was too salty. Unless they were in a hurry and really needed to eat some meat, they would not eat this dried meat at home.
As for the dried meat that Shen Yitian gave, although the color was not bright red, it was not black either, but a natural dark red.
Moreover, the color is uniform and it doesn't look dry and firewood.
It was getting dark, and Yuan Dutou could not see any other details, but he gave up the green pear for some unknown reason and instead took a piece of dried meat and put it in his mouth.
The aroma of the meat filled his nose before he even put it into his mouth. As he took a bite and began to chew, his dim eyes suddenly lit up.
He quickly took the remaining dried meat in front of him and looked at it carefully. While chewing, he thought, this is all dried meat, why is the Shen family's dried meat so delicious?
Although it was a bit salty, the jerky was more than just salty. After chewing a few bites, he could taste the meat, a bit spicy, and an indescribable fragrance.
Mmm, this jerky! He absolutely loves it!
After quickly chewing one, Yuan Dutou couldn't wait to pick up another one from the leaves in his hand.
Xiao Yu had just finished distributing steamed bread to the prisoners when he had already eaten half of the dried meat in his hand.
If he hadn't thought of leaving some for his brothers, this amount of dried meat would not be enough for him to chew by himself.
Shen Yitian rested for a while, and when Xiaoyu was making the steamed bread, she took it.
Afraid that others would become suspicious again, even though the steamed bread was hard, she used her sleeve to cover the small mouth and took a bite. Then, while chewing it, she threw the steamed bread back into the space.
After everyone had almost finished eating, she stood up and said she was going to get some water.
After getting her dried meat, Yuan Dutou ate two more green pears. Now his attitude towards Shen Yitian was much better.
He just said to come back soon and didn't say anything else. His tone was much gentler than before.
The Song family members were jealous, but Yuan Dutou gave them a stern look, and their thoughts were scared away.
Shen Yitian quickly found a suitable and hidden bush and crawled into it. She took out a bowl of fragrant stir-fried beef, a portion of boiled vegetables, a bowl of chicken soup, and a dragon fruit from the space.
As soon as she took it out, she was so greedy by the aroma of beef that she didn't care about her image and took out the rice and started to eat it.
This was not a big meal, just the common meals she had eaten before, but having such a meal here on the road of exile was simply too luxurious.
Because time was tight, she ate very quickly and finished everything she took out in a short while.
After eating, he filled his water bag with mineral water, then found a more secluded place to deal with what needed to be dealt with. When he was ready to return to the exile team, it was already dark.
It is almost early June now, the moon in the sky is getting rounder and rounder, and today's moonlight is much brighter than the previous two days.
She walked quickly in the moonlight, but stopped when she passed a tree.
Hmm? What's this oil-paper bag hanging on the tree?
She was a little suspicious and looked around but saw no one.
Where did the oil-paper bag come from in the middle of nowhere, late at night?
She felt something strange and reached out to touch it, and found that the oil paper bag was still warm.
Well, don't pick up things on the roadside. She felt strange, but she still withdrew her hand and quickly returned to the exile team.
After she left, a figure appeared from behind a large tree not far away. He took down the oil-paper bag hanging from the tree, looked at her retreating figure suspiciously, and said, "Aren't you hungry?"
Shen Yitian naturally didn't know that there was another person here. She returned to the exile team, tidied her clothes, and lay down to sleep.
The people around were still making a fuss. Yue Niang and her naughty son were arguing non-stop, and the Song family members were also talking nonsense to her.
Shen Yitian didn't take it seriously. Instead, she listened to it as hypnosis. After a while, she fell asleep.
Everyone indeed walked faster on the subsequent journey, but it was still a little short of the speed Yuan Dutou had in mind.
However, he calculated that as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to reach the place of exile within the specified time at this speed.
After three days of walking on the mountain road, Shen Yitian had a very comfortable time. Ever since she gave Yuan Dutou some dried meat and green pears, Yuan Dutou's attitude towards her has changed.
She is also a sensible person. She is happy to exchange some food for other people's kindness.
What's more, since Yuan Dutou's attitude improved, the officials under him have also been more caring towards Shen Yitian.
Whenever the Song family caused trouble, there would always be officials who would come out and scold them.
The Song family was not convinced, but they did not dare to confront the officials head-on, so they felt very depressed for the past three days.
Especially when they saw Shen Yitian giving some wild fruits and dried meat to the officials from time to time, they felt greedy, angry and annoyed.
What they were craving were the juicy fruits and the fragrant dried meat, especially the enjoyment on the officials' faces when they ate the dried meat, which made them anxiously guess what the dried meat would taste like.
There are also wild fruits. They can't figure out how Shen Yitian got so many ways to pick the wild fruits, and how she knows about these wild fruits.
She was obviously a girl who grew up in the capital. Even if she had been to the mountains before, it was just for outing. Which rich girl would know about wild fruits?
