Chapter 233 Difficult Road (Part 2)

Half an hour later, Luo Shuigui said to Yuxi: "Girl, I bought something. I bought two hens and four ducks." There are many kinds of vegetables, including cabbage, pumpkin, eggplant and radish, and a can lard.

Yuxi heard that there are pumpkins, and said with a smile: "You can eat pumpkin porridge tomorrow morning." Every day is meat porridge, and if you eat it, you will get angry.

It was already dark, and Huang Biaotou hadn't heard the words to stop. Yuxi was a little strange, and called Huang Biaotou: "Why can't these places be settled?"

Huang Biaotou said: "Cooking requires water, so we have to find a place with water to rest."

Yuxi suddenly realized that she didn't just find a place to rest her feet, she had to have water. Well, I really don’t know what to do if I don’t go out!

When it was getting dark, there happened to be a puddle beside the road. Huang Biaotou decided to spend the night near here that night.

As soon as they stopped, everyone started to get busy, even the youngest Tian Ju gave Mama Bai a hand. Yuxi was not idle either, and asked someone to open a box, and took out angelica and wolfberry from it, preparing to cook chicken soup.

Mama Bai's hands and feet are quick, the rice here is almost cooked, and the food there is also fried. Stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried bacon with eggplant, braised duck, three small pots, although each person does not get much, but everyone eats deliciously.

After eating, Da Mao couldn't help but said: "I thought it would be a burden to bring a few women, but I didn't expect this skill!" This skill is not far from the restaurant I often go to!

The other one said, "Why didn't the two chickens move?"

Da Mao patted the man on the head and said, "I must have saved it for myself to eat! She is a cute girl, she must make up for herself." The most important thing is that they bought it.

It takes a long time to boil chicken soup, and it is definitely not enough to drink it at night, so Yuxi is going to ask Mama Bai to stew two chickens. Stew it all night, and the taste is strong, so it is perfect to drink the next day.

It's just that this idea is good, but Master Yang made fun of it: "Your chicken soup will be so fragrant that those gentlemen won't be able to sleep when the time comes, how can you still have the energy to go on the road tomorrow? Or just boil it today, so that everyone can drink it every day." People drink a bowl, and they can sleep well after drinking."

Yuxi smiled and said, "I didn't think carefully." She changed her mind immediately and asked Mama Bai to boil the chicken soup, and when it was done, she shared it with everyone.

Huang Biaotou was the first to drink, looking at the black objects floating in the soup, he asked Yuxi, "Girl, what's in it?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Let's put the angelica and wolfberry, don't worry, eating these things is good for your health."

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, the whole person feels much better. Huang Biaotou immediately smiled and said: "Let the fourth girl bother." It's not that they have never escorted the female family members of high-ranking families before, but these female family members were either crying or crying on the road, or they were uncomfortable or uncomfortable. Give them a headache. Miss Han Si was lucky. Not only did she not cause trouble, but she also helped with a lot of things, which is really special.

Yuxi smiled and said: "This is what I should do. Let your brothers get up and drink soup! If it is late, there will be no more." There are too many people and less soup, and each person can only drink one cup. Small bowl. But because of the medicinal materials, everyone agreed after drinking this soup.

It was all done, and it was already dark. Yu Xi didn't care about the delay in sleeping, those men had to drive carts and ride horses during the day, and she could catch up on sleep in the carriage.

Mother Bai came over and gave Yuxi a bowl of chicken soup she had hidden: "Girl, you should drink this soup tomorrow morning!" Both her mother-in-law and her husband hated her so much that they divorced her and remarried her. A woman who was divorced was also disliked in various ways when she returned to her natal home.

Her elder brother wanted to sell her to a forty-something butcher who had killed two wives.

If it is really sold to that butcher, there is only a dead end. Bai's mother had no choice but to secretly leave her mother's house to find a job, but the woman's family was hard to find a job. In the end, Fang's mother saw that she was pitiful and left her to work in her small restaurant. Mama Bai has been with Mama Fang for three years. After more than three years of hard work, I can make buns, steamed buns, etc., and the level of cooking has also been trained. Mama Fang knew that Yuxi was looking for a cook but hadn't been able to find one. She felt that Mama Bai's conditions were just right, so she asked Mama Bai for her opinion. Mother Bai knew Yuxi's identity, so she agreed without thinking about it. If you don't go to such a kind master, you won't be able to find him in the future.

When Yuxi is looking for a cook, the most important thing is that her family background is clean and reliable. Although she said that she could trust Mama Fang, she still asked people to inquire carefully. Seeing that Mama Bai was pretty much the same as Mama Fang said, and that her cooking skills were really good, and she was not very old, she stayed.

Yuxi said with a smile: "I'm already full. You can ask Tian Ju and let them divide it. During this period of time, it will be hard for them." I am very tired from traveling during the day, and I have to help with things. Thanks for your hard work.

After hearing this, Bai's mother nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Because of drinking this chicken soup, the group slept late that night. The next day, I didn't realize that my mother got up to make porridge again, but she was used to it, so she didn't complain. With Yuxi, pumpkin is put in the porridge in the morning.

Yuxi boiled a large pot of red date porridge in a small pot for lunch. There is no way, eating those cakes that are like stones is really a torment.

After sleeping outside for three days, I finally arrived at an inn on the fourth day. This is also the first time that Yuxi hasn't taken a bath for four days, and the first thing she does when she arrives at the inn is to take a hot bath.

After eating and drinking enough, Yu Xi began to write under the lamp. Zijin asked curiously: "Girl, what are you writing?"

Yu Xi said with a smile: "Write down everything you have seen and heard along the way, and when you arrive in the northwest, write a letter to tell your mother." It was only when she went out that she realized that she had little knowledge and didn't understand anything.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. After Zijin opened the door, she turned around and said to Yuxi, "Girl, Master Yang called me, and I'll come over after a while." She wasn't worried about Yuxi's safety, because there were Lu's guards living next to her.

An hour later, Zijin came back. Seeing her serious expression, Yu Xi asked, "What's the matter? What did Master Yang tell you?"

Zijin shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything. Girl, it's late, and I have to hurry tomorrow, go to bed early!" Zisu was already asleep.

Yuxi said with a smile: "Well, sleep now."

Sleeping until midnight, there was a commotion outside. Yu Xi hurriedly got up, just about to light the lamp. Zijin jumped up from the bed, grabbed Yuxi's hand and said: "Girl, you can't light the lamp." After finishing speaking, Zijin explained: "If you light the lamp, you may become the target of those thieves."

Luo Shuigui and his party are only responsible for Yu Xi's safety, and they won't take care of them if they are raped outside. After a while, Han Ji called for the door, and Zijin lit the lamp and opened the door.

Yuxi asked: "What happened just now?"

Han Ji said: "It's nothing serious, it's just that there are a few little thieves who want to steal things and have already been arrested. I'm afraid that the girl will be worried, so I specially report to the girl." , but no need to guess, these things must be very valuable. Therefore, even if you live in an inn, there are night watchmen.

Yuxi nodded and said: "That's it! Then I know, you go down and rest too!" Yuxi knew that the journey was not smooth, and it was lucky that nothing happened in the past half month.

She had been mentally prepared for a long time, and Yuxi was not frightened. Lie back on the bed and soon fell asleep. I was called up before dawn the next day.

Yuxi had breakfast in her own room, and when the meal was finished, the carriage was packed, and she left after Yuxi came down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Xi walked out of the inn, she saw two children about ten years old jumping out beside her. The two children were dressed in rags and were frighteningly thin. But before the two of them got close to Yuxi, they were blocked by Luo Shuigui.

The two children knelt on the ground and begged Yuxi for money: "Girl, I haven't eaten for two days, please give me something to eat!"

Da Mao wanted to go forward, but was blocked by Huang Escort: "Let's see how Miss Han will deal with it?"

Yuxi looked at the two children, they were all dirty, and they were still wearing thin clothes in February, they looked really pitiful. Yuxi looked at the two children, and said to Luo Shuigui beside him: "Uncle Luo, send someone to the inn to get some food for these two children!" If she was in the capital, she would still dare to give some money. , it is better to be cautious.

Luo Shuigui called a person beside him to do this.

Da Mao was very surprised: "I thought she would give money?" I remember one time when they escorted the wife of an official's family, they also saw a few beggar children. , and each gave two taels of silver. The result is that people miss him, which adds a lot of trouble for no reason.

Huang Biaotou: "Why do you think so much, hurry up and get to work!"

After walking for a while, Yuxi asked Zijin, and said, "What did Master Yang tell you last night? You can tell me straight! It's also good for me to know."

Seeing Yuxi asking each other, Zi Jin didn't hide it, and said: "Master said that the bandits on the road we're walking now are all gangsters, and there are so many people in the convoy. The road enters the territory of Shanxi. There are many bandits there, and small groups are not afraid of running into horse thieves. In addition, there is a group of bandits on the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi. It is located on Tiger Mountain. It is said that there are thousands of bandits."

Hearing that thousands of bandits had gathered in Tiger Mountain, Yuxi was terrified. She had always known that there were bandits before, but she didn't know that there would be such a big gang of bandits. Yuxi was a little scared when she heard this, not to mention Zisu beside her. Zisu asked nervously, "Girl, what should I do?"

Yu Xi weighed it in her heart and said, "What else did Master Yang say?"

Zijin said: "Master Yang said that although we don't have many things, only twelve carts, if people know your identity, they will definitely attract horse thieves and bandits from Tiger Mountain." Wearing a dowry, you can tell that this is a fat sheep just by hearing the news.

After pondering for a moment, Yuxi said: "What else did Master Yang say?"

Zi Jin shook her head and said, "No more." This was just talking about the bandits in Shanxi, not the bandits in front of them!

Yu Xi said: "I'll ask Huang Escort tonight and see what he has to say." Thousands of thieves and bandits will definitely not be able to fight head-on. I only hope that Huang Biaotou has a good idea. (to be continued)
