His words silenced everyone.
"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with us staying here. When we arrive in northern Hubei, our whole family will be prisoners. Not to mention living a miserable life, we will definitely be angry and bullied." Shen Yong said disapprovingly.
Shen Xiao shook his head, "Of course there's nothing wrong with you thinking like this, but you only see what's in front of you. You and I are both citizens of Da Jin. Unless we don't live in Da Jin, we will always be bound by the laws of Da Jin, and our descendants will be in this way."
When he mentioned "children and grandchildren", Shen Yong subconsciously looked at Shen Zhe and Shen Qin, as well as Shen Qingqian who was listening to them with her chin in her hands, and then Shen Yong also fell silent.
Yes, if they were alone, they would have died of old age in the mountains, but how could Shen Zhe and the others be so innocent? Do the sisters in the family have to be old maids for the rest of their lives?
"You're almost done, how can you have so much time to worry about spring and autumn? Hurry up and help smoke the meat." Wu shouted from behind the cliff cave.
It's not that she doesn't know Shen Xiao and the others' worries, but no one can predict the future, so she should take care of the present first.
Shen Qingqian heard the bacon and ran over immediately.
"Auntie," Shen Qingqian showed Wu the pine needles and branches she had picked up, "I heard from Brother Goudan's sister-in-law that the bacon is particularly fragrant."
In fact, Lu only applied coarse salt and air-dried it, but Shen Qingqian mentioned to her that she could use pine branches and pine needles to smoke the meat.
How did Wu know this? After hearing what she said, she asked carefully what to do, and then called Shen Xiao and the others to set up a shelf at the entrance of the cave.
Shen Qingqian also sat next to the fire. He spread the pine needles around and roasted them first. After a while, they were dry and then he could throw them in and burn them.
She picked the pine branches from the ground. Fortunately, after peeling off a layer of skin, the inside was dry and could be used directly.
When Shen Qingman and the others saw it, they also sat over and asked curious questions while actually learning to make straw sandals.
The most expensive thing for this group of people to travel is their shoes, but no one thought of this before they were exiled. Now, except for the youngest Shen Jin, everyone's shoes are worn out and they can barely wear them.
Fortunately, he met Jiang Goudan and the others and taught the women in the exile team how to make straw sandals.
Just like now, not only the women of the Shen family are smoking meat and making straw sandals, but also in other cliff caves. There are also people who are good at needlework mending clothes for people they know well.
The entrance to the cave was occupied by Shen Qingqian and others, so Shengze followed Shen Xiao and others into the cave.
Shen Xiao and Shen Jun were responsible for chopping firewood, while Shen Shan and Shen Yong helped Sheng Ze dig holes.
The people in the exile team did not carry many daily necessities such as buckets. Even the axes for chopping firewood were borrowed from Jiang Goudan and the others.
In fact, they don't have many things, and they all use them with Jiang Goudan and the others.
But this is very inconvenient, such as storing water. If there is no bucket, you can only rely on your own water bladder. However, the water bladder contains too little water, and it is mostly used for cooking and drinking. You have to find another way to use water for daily washing. .
The Shen family also borrowed a wooden barrel from Jiang Goudan before, but now almost all the barrels were used to hold meat. Sheng Ze suggested making a hole in the hole and laying large and small layers at the bottom. Stones are used to store water.
"Cheng Sandi, please rest for a while." Shen Jun took the water bag and handed it to him.
He is twenty-two years old and two years older than Shengze.
Shengze was a practicing practitioner, so he didn't feel tired after digging for a while, but he couldn't refuse Shen Jun's kindness, so he took it and thanked him, then raised his head and took a sip of water.
As soon as the water entered his mouth, Shengze paused and said "Huh".
"What's wrong?" Shen Jun didn't know why.
Sheng Ze's face looked a little strange, "Brother Shen, where did this water come from?"
"Ah?" Shen Jun was a little confused, "It was called from the stream."
The water the Shen family drank in the past two days was all tampered with by Shen Qingqian. They got used to it after drinking too much, and no one thought there was anything wrong with the water.
But Shengze was different. The first time he took a sip of the water, he realized something was wrong.
