Chapter 155 Do you think we will encounter attacks before entering Beijing?
When Xiu Luoran arrived at the place and looked into the stream, he immediately shouted:
"Who of you is free? Come and have some good food."
Yi Jingxuan and several warriors came over. Yi Jingge put down his work and came over. Yi Jingxiao brought Si'er to join in the fun.
Xiu Luoran pointed to the little crab in the stream, yes, that's the little crab, and said to everyone:
"Go catch some crabs. The more the better. I'll make you something delicious later. It's so yummy."
When everyone heard it, they thought that if something was described as "gaga" delicious by Xiu Luoran, it must be delicious.
Everyone took off their shoes and socks and went into the water.
Xiu Luoran called Yi Keting to bring a large wooden barrel, "Be careful when you catch them, don't get caught, and hold the shell with your hands."
Some people have gained experience after being trapped, so they can catch them quickly.
The main thing is that there are too many little crabs here. You can see several of them crawling at a glance.
Soon the bucket was full, and Xiu Luoran sent it back. He grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it into the crab bucket, then took another large wooden bucket over.
Xiu Luoran also ordered a warrior to catch a few small silver fish, which were prepared for Si'er to eat.
He has a cold and can't eat crabs.
There were a total of three large wooden barrels full of small crabs. After Xiu Luoran cleaned them, he marinated them, broke them in half, and fried them in oil.
The bucket is too big and there are too many small crabs to fry them all in one big pot.
The remaining bucket can be used to eat crabs tomorrow.
dinner's ready.
Braised rice and stewed green beans. As for where the green beans came from, we just passed through a county town. It’s autumn now, and there are plenty of various vegetables, fruits and melons.
Xiu Luoran and his friends bought a lot of vegetables and fruits, enough to last them until they reached the next town.
What everyone is most looking forward to is the two large pots full of fried crabs.
Xiu Luoran said: "Eat it."
Everyone's chopsticks reached out for the crab.
Xiu Luoran picked up half a small female crab and picked out some roe for Si'er to eat:
"Be good, Si'er, you have a stomachache, you can't eat too much of this.
Auntie will let you taste it and save some for you to fry tomorrow.
Today, Auntie fried some small whitebait for you, they are also delicious."
Si'er smiled and nodded. His aunt was nice to him, so he had to be obedient.
Over here, someone has already finished a bowl of rice.
Everyone was eating in silence, except Yi Jingge, who nodded while eating:
"I didn't know this crab could be eaten this way. It's so delicious. Hehe, I'll go back and tell my father. I guess he has never eaten it before."
Xiu Luoran thought to herself, your father had already eaten it because it was sent by me, but you, a fool, didn't know it.
After dinner, the sun became hotter, so Xiu Luoran asked everyone to go to bed and rest, and then get up and continue their journey after the sun sets.
Although this makes the schedule a little chaotic, it doesn't make you uncomfortable. On the contrary, after everyone gets used to it, they don't feel tired from the journey. It's like traveling, and they are happy every day.
Through this period of medication and food nourishment, the health of Yi Jingxiao and his sister and Si'er has improved substantially.
Just look at the chubby little face of Si'er and you will know that this child is really well-behaved and obedient, so obedient that it makes people feel distressed.
Xiu Luoran reminded Yi Jingxiao to keep an eye on Yi Keting and not to be too restrictive about Si'er. He should tell the child to be more lively, have his own opinions, and cultivate his sense of independence.
A person who always listens to drinking will not achieve much.
Yi Jingxiao understood this very well, and he said that he would take Si'er's education to heart.
After waking up from a nap, everyone prepared dinner and had another meal of spicy crabs.
Yi Jingge couldn't stop eating, but there were only so many crabs and he felt he hadn't eaten enough.
Xiu Luoran said: "If you don't mind the trouble, go grab some more and take them with you, wash them and pickle them.
We can eat it next time we have dinner, so hurry up and don’t delay your journey.”
Yi Jingge took two more mouthfuls of rice and then called his guards and Leng Xiao to go catch crabs.
He saw clearly that Leng Xiao had eaten a lot.
By the time Xiu Luoran gave the order to set off, Yi Jingge and his men had already caught two buckets.
……
After walking for another two days, I realized that I had already covered most of the distance.
The weather now is similar to that in Beijing, not so hot. Xiu Luoran adjusted back to his normal schedule, resting at night and traveling during the day.
Xiu Luoran asked Yi Jingxuan: "Do you think we will encounter attacks before we enter the capital?"
Yi Jingxuan shook his head: "It's really hard to say, we still have to be vigilant.
Some people don’t do things according to normal thinking, they always like to surprise people and make it hard for others to figure out the rules.”
Xiu Luoran agreed: "You are right, when I just came back from the nunnery, I was fine all the way. I was almost to the capital, but when I was four or five miles away from the capital, I was suddenly attacked.
Luckily I am lucky, otherwise I would have been killed by those bastards."
The corners of Yi Jingxuan's mouth twitched. He knew that those "bastards" were all his fourth brother Yi Jingyang's men.
Xiu Luoran and Yi Jingxuan rode in front of the team, and the warriors followed behind.
Yi Jingge was restless for a moment. He ran around everywhere, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, having a lot of fun.
In the carriage.
Yi Jingxiao said to Yi Keting who was holding Si'er:
"After you go back, you and Si'er should live a good life and educate him well. If he has a promising future, you will have someone to rely on in the future."
Si'er looked up and said, "Uncle, I will be successful."
Yi Jingxiao touched Si'er's little head:
"Si'er, you must study hard, learn literature and martial arts, and become a very capable person, then your mother will be able to live a good life."
Sier promised: "I will become very powerful."
Yi Keting felt very gratified as she had suffered a lot.
But from now on, she has parents and brother who love her and a son to rely on. With life like this, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
"Brother, Kezhen and I both have someone to rely on, but you don't even have a wife.
When you return, ask your father to find you a wife, so that he can have a grandson soon."
If I had said this to Yi Jingxiao before, he would have definitely evaded the question.
This time, his experience brought about a great change in his state of mind.
Yi Jingxiao nodded: "You are right, it is time for me to start a family and career, and I can't let my father and mother worry about me anymore."
Yi Keting: "After we go back, tell our experiences to the elders. Our whole family should not forget Luoluo's kindness."
"Ah."
Xiu Luoran was riding on a horse, looking far away at the hillside of a distant mountain. It seemed that there were several trees full of red fruits.
It is dazzling red under the sun.
"Yi Jingxuan, let's go over and see what kind of fruit it is. If it's edible, pick some and bring them back for everyone to eat."
"it is good."
Yi Jingge just ran back and heard:
"Count me in, count me in."
Xiu Luoran rode away: "Then follow me."
The three men rode their horses towards the distant mountains.
It looks far away, but it will be there soon on horseback.
Xiu Luoran asked Tayun to look after the horse while she and Yi Jingxuan went up the mountain.
He found the trees with red fruits hanging on them, but Xiu Luoran didn't recognize the fruits on them.
"Yi Jingxuan, do you know what kind of fruit this is?"
The apples don’t look like apples, and the pears don’t look like pears.
It looks red and quite tempting.
Yi Jingge said simply: "It doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is, as long as it's edible."
Xiu Luoran flew up the tree and picked a fruit. She smelled it and it had a sweet fruity scent.
She took out a silver needle and tested it, then wiped it and took a bite. Her mouth was full of sweetness, juicy and delicious.
Yi Jingge stared at Xiu Luoran's reaction.
Xiu Luoran suddenly opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, pretending to spit:
"It's bitter and astringent, so unpalatable."
Yi Jingge was extremely disappointed when he heard this.
Xiu Luoran continued to eat the fruit.
Yi Jingxuan also climbed up the tree, picked one and started eating it. Only then did Yi Jingge realize that he had been fooled.
He immediately picked one too, "Oh, it's so sweet, I'll pick some more to eat on the way."
Yi Jingge had just eaten one when he saw Xiu Luoran had already climbed up the tree and started picking fruits.
He hurriedly climbed up the tree and picked a few fruits only to realize that he didn't bring any tools to pack the fruits.
He looked at Xiu Luoran, and Xiu Luoran took out two cloth bags from his backpack and gave one to Yi Jingxuan and Yi Jingge.
Unless there is any special situation, Xiu Luoran will not take off her backpack, just to cover her when taking things out of the small space.
