Bai Su's movements alarmed the woman taking care of her.
The woman asked, "What do you need, madam?"
Bai Su was caught red-handed, and felt guilty for no reason. She lowered the car curtain with an embarrassed expression, and suddenly a plan came to her mind, ready to dig out some information from the woman's mouth: "There is nothing needed... Madam, does she know the origin of the husband?"
The woman said warily: "Why do you ask?"
"The slave family suffered a great disaster, and it was only by chance that I saved my life when I met my benefactor..." Bai Su lowered his head, with graceful eyebrows, deliberately covering up his overly heroic face. Just listening to that delicate and soft voice, I subconsciously imagined a delicate little lady in my mind.
No one will be on guard against weak and pitiful people.
Even feel pity.
The woman said: "That's how it is, alas, how pitiful."
She looked at Bai Su who was injured with pity, and couldn't help but think of the scenario of "a delicate girl encounters bad luck, and a ruthless tyrant takes advantage of her power to commit murder". She then let herself go and let down her guard. She sighed softly and started talking: "The young lady doesn't know the origin of Mr. Lang. She only knows that her surname is Shen. He is a rare and kind man."
Bai Su was surprised when he heard this.
"A good man?"
The lady nodded: "Yes."
Bai Su asked the woman again, and the question was more pointed: "Madam, is that Mr. Shen who governs the people? Follow Mr. Shen all the way to Heyin - Madam, does he know that Heyin is a dragon, a pond, a tiger's den? Not to mention sleeping in the open air, traveling in boats and carriages along the way Lawton..."
The woman only thought that Bai Su was concerned and curious.
As for the "tea talk" in the words, she didn't notice it. Just follow Bai Su's questions and answer them one by one.
She said: "The little woman is not the people under the rule of Master Shen Lang. Four generations of her family have lived in Sibao County, and she is a native. The rebel army caused trouble a while ago, and several members of the little woman's family were killed. Only the little one was left. Women and young children..."
A woman who is not considered old, and a child who is ignorant, her family's savings were robbed by the rebels, and her house was burned down. She has no savings, no money, and no skills to make a living... How can the two of them live stably in this world? Come down?
This combination is as easy to bully as an old man.
If she did not follow Shen Tang, but chose to stay in her hometown and start over, the woman could guess what she would encounter with her eyes closed.
She needs to go out to find a job to make a living, and cannot stay with her children all the time. Her children will be bullied, because everyone is crazy poor and hungry, and the child is more likely to be trafficked, and the end will be even worse. Mixed into butcher shops and used as preserved meat.
If she's lucky, the child is fine, but that doesn't mean she's safe - because her house was burned down and she's homeless.
Either you have to live in a dilapidated building with your children, or you can live in a thatched house that can barely protect you from wind and rain. There is no safety at all. In the middle of the night, while she was asleep, different gangsters would even break into the hut, steal money, force her to take advantage of her.
This kind of thing is too common.
Because she had no ability to defend herself and there was no strong man in her family, the orphan and widowed mother would be bullied. When she was bullied, no one would stand up for her and she could only break her teeth and swallow her blood. Bullying women and children has the lowest risk and the highest benefit.
How dare the woman stay?
Even if she knew that Heyin was a dangerous place, she had no choice but to come here - no matter what, she and her children would be able to eat solid food in the past few days, and they would not be threatened by the military master if they walked slowly. The woman was even paid extra for taking care of Bai Su.
A woman's words are like listening to a book from heaven.
However, her first reaction was not how kind Shen Tang was, but how she lamented that this man was "extremely rich". After all, there were more than 3,000 people in the entire team! There are more than 3,000 people, not more than 300 people!
More than three thousand mouths!
Ordinary people account for 60%!
The remaining 40% are private parts.
Food is not only for young and strong men who can fight, but is evenly distributed to the old, weak, women and children to satisfy their hunger. Although not everyone can be very full and full, they have the strength to walk so far after eating, instead of "lying hungry" The minimum standard of "immortality"...
Bai Su made a rough estimate in his mind.
That's a lot of money, too.
Mr. Shen is not a wealthy man with a big business, but he is a complete fool. Otherwise, how could anyone do such a thing?
Bai Su responded and said, "Mr. Shen has a kind heart."
The woman also nodded happily.
She has also experienced disaster years. At that time, the country was still the country of Xin - either there was a locust plague here, or there was a flood there. The people's life was "up and down", and they were "about to starve to death" and "a little hungry but... Jumping back and forth between "I will never starve to death".
Once a disaster occurs, some places will release food for disaster relief.
The so-called porridge, sometimes the porridge water is so clear that you can count the number of wheat grains, and sometimes it is so turbid that it is mixed with half of the sediment. It allows the people to "lie down and starve to death" after drinking it, not to mention how many days they can travel with their families. The distance is far away and I don’t have the energy to say more than two words.
Comparing the two, the woman truly felt that Shen Tang was a good person. She was not the only one who thought so. The people who chose to follow him thought so. There was no way for them to survive in their homeland, so they chose Shen Tang because they had no idea that they could have enough to eat.
Because Mr. Shen was at the front of the team most of the time, he didn't see the soldiers of Bu Qu distributing food to the people. The people who received the dry food all accepted it with tears in their eyes, instead of gobbling it down and worrying that they wouldn't be able to keep it. After one meal, I couldn't bear to eat it, so I hid it secretly, worrying that if I had this meal, I would miss the next meal. But they didn't expect it to happen every time.
After more than half a month -
Stop when you are allowed to stop, rest when you are allowed to stop, and just give way.
Who has ever cried bitterness, tiredness, or unwillingness?
No!
None!
Bai Suwen looked moved.
However, she was worried that the woman was exaggerating and wanted to see it with her own eyes. After half a day, Bai Suyong felt better and wanted to get out of the car for a walk and get some fresh air. While the group stopped to rest, he was helped out of the car by the woman.
Troops of soldiers were carrying bamboo baskets to distribute dry food.
Bai Su secretly craned his neck to look.
The bamboo basket was indeed full of round pancakes.
The ingredients used in these pancakes are very solid, thick and heavy.
When the soldier Buqu sent it to Bai Su, he didn't even look at it and handed her one as well. Basically, there are two for adults and one for children.
Eat during half of the break.
Eat the other half on the way.
Bai Su took a bite of the pancake, which had no taste but smelled like wheat. He mixed it with saliva to soften it, chewed it and swallowed it.
The woman handed her a piece of bamboo tube.
This is for drinking water.
Not to mention that all the people's belongings were burned down. Even if they were not, they would not have all the pots, pans, and drinking vessels on their way to escape. Happening to pass by a remote wild bamboo forest, Shen Tang unceremoniously ordered Zhao Feng's private troops to cut it down.
Free labor, no need to regret it.
Bai Su took it and thanked him in a low voice.
While she was eating, she secretly observed the expressions of the people, and it turned out that they were not lying as the woman said. She sighed inwardly and ate all the cake and the remaining crumbs. At this time, the young lady whom I met last night came closer.
Bai Su saw that Lin Fengchong came by himself.
He smiled and asked, "But my benefactor sees me?"
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
She said: "No."
Bai Su was puzzled: "What is this little lady?"
Lin Feng: "The girl's injury has not healed and she needs to be nursed back to health."
She glanced at Tu Rong who was following behind her and pursed her lips. Tu Rong handed a small pot of food to the woman beside Bai Su as if he was resigned to his fate. Bai Su was puzzled at first, but when the small pot came closer, he could smell the tempting aroma of meat and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
She asked: "This is it?"
Lin Feng answered truthfully: "Oh, this is a wild animal that was hunted by the scouts when they were exploring the road. Lang Jun had his hair plucked and cooked."
Bai Su knew it was a good intention, but she had already eaten one piece of pancake, and coupled with her injuries, she had no appetite at this time.
I wanted to borrow flowers to offer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng thanked her for her kindness: "Girl, I can't refuse my offer. It's just that my family is still observing filial piety and has some dietary restrictions."
Although she has been traveling all this time and it is very hard, her teacher's cooking skills are much better than those of a cook, and there is a supply of meat and vegetables every day. Although the teacher cooks for her husband, she also cooks for other people. Keep a small portion.
It's just that she and Tu Rong are still in the period of filial piety and have dietary taboos.
Their part is more special and needs to be done separately.
Lin Feng is young and has a small appetite.
This half month has suddenly become mellow.
Bai Su said apologetically: "It's the slave's fault."
The pot of soup was handed over to the woman's child.
Seeing that the child was not afraid of being burned at all, and drank up the fragrant milky white soup in a few sips, chewing the not-so-full pieces of meat in the pot with a satisfied look on her face, she suddenly felt a little sad, and her eyes filled with tears. red.
The woman asked: "What's wrong with you, Madam?"
Bai Su lowered her head to avoid the woman's concern, not wanting others to see her fragile look. She calmed down her emotions, and soon returned to her normal expression, whispering: "Nothing else, I just saw the wife and the child, and thought of her untimely death." My brother and sister..."
Strictly speaking, they did not starve to death.
My family was really very poor at that time.
My father begged for help and took on debts, but he could only keep the family alive. The two younger brothers and sisters were young and received the least amount of food. They are really hungry, their legs are often weak and dizzy, and they go to drink water when they feel uncomfortable with hunger...
One day, all the adults in the family went out.
The two children stayed at home and played.
At this time, the leper at the head of the village passed by the door and saw the two children playing house, with you playing the role of father and me playing the role of mother, making rice in the pot. The leper sneered and coaxed the two children that there was a place at the head of the village where the Earth is much more fragrant than meat.
People will be free from illness and disaster after eating it!
They really dug it and wolfed it down, not forgetting to leave a portion for their grandparents, father, mother, brother and sister. When the father returned from work, the two children had choked to death from the sticky mud... rigor mortis.
Bai Su is "greedier" than his mentor.
She regretted too many things in her life.
For example, it’s a pity that my younger brother and younger sister came to this world and didn’t even know what “meat” was and how it tasted. As for the deadbeat... he was ridiculed when he came to the door to argue. It was also because of this that my grandmother had an affair with the old deadbeat. Damn, I won’t be able to get sick anymore...
The woman didn't know why.
But looking at the sadness in Bai Su's eyes, she knew that her son had brought back memories of the past, and her heart skipped a beat. She was so frightened that she quickly waved her hand secretly, signaling her son to get out of Bai Su's sight. From the woman's perspective, Shen Tang's willingness to pay her to take care of Bai Su means that this lady Bai Su is a very important noble person. She cannot neglect her, let alone make her unhappy...
Bai Su did not miss the woman's expression and little movements.
She figured out why after a moment's thought.
He just smiled and said nothing else.
Traveling is very boring.
How boring?
It was so boring that Shen Tang felt bored and composed the storybook in his mind! She was enjoying herself, but felt sorry for Gu Chi who "caught up" to listen to the story. The first half was there but the second half was missing. It's like the eunuch in the inner court opened his head, but the bottom is gone!
Human?
Inhuman!
Gu Chi showed a sad face as if he had been constipated for seven or eight days.
Qishan looked surprised.
He and Gu Chi were already familiar acquaintances, so he didn't have to be too scrupulous about what he said. He said bluntly: "You really don't need to ask Chu Wuhui to sprinkle a handful of croton powder in your meal?"
Gu Chi didn't understand what he meant.
Qi Shan took out a palm-sized bronze mirror with delicate patterns on the back from the bag and showed it.
He motioned to Gu Chi to look at his face in the mirror.
Gu Chi took a moment to return to the future, and said with an unkind expression: "Croton powder? You can keep it for yourself and taste it slowly!"
This guy deserves a bowl of thick and thick croton porridge!
Damage or not!
Qi Shan was not angry even after being scolded.
Because he knew that Gu Chi was more angry than him.
When Shen Tang heard Qi Shan's laughter from behind, there was a question mark in his head. He looked back and saw Gu Chi holding the scabbard of his sword and threatening Qi Shan. Qi Shan had a provocative face of "If you have the ability, just draw the sword"... …
Shen Tang and Kang Shi murmured.
"Look back, Ji Shou and Yuan Liang will inquire."
Kang Shi was turning his head to watch the excitement.
"What are you asking about?"
Shen Tang said: "What color sack does he like?"
