But why, she felt a sense of intimacy with that little lady.

She always felt like there was something pressing on her heart, a heavy feeling.

Jiang Zhiluo took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and climbed up from the bottom of the canyon to the cave in the rock wall halfway up the mountain.

After she entered the cave, she found that there was another cave inside.

The entrance is not big, but the inside is very spacious, with a stone bed and some wooden cabinets next to the stone bed.

Jiang Zhiluo opened it and saw that there was nothing in the cabinet.

But she knew that someone should have lived here.

However, there was a layer of dust on the ground, and the entrance to the cave was covered with vegetation, which showed that no one had been there for a long time.

"This place is suitable for everyone to hide in the mountains for a while."

Jian Yunci was right. If there was a war outside and the villagers resisted, it would really be like hitting an egg with a stone.

It's better to protect yourself and wait until it's peaceful outside before coming out.

Anyway, as long as there is food, you can hide in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time.

After discovering such a place, Jiang Zhiluo felt satisfied and nodded.

And there is water here, and there is a wide flat land next to the canyon, where you can cut down trees and build wooden houses.

I just hope that we won’t have to fight for a year. In winter, there is no heated bed and it’s very cold to stay in the wooden house.

Jiang Zhiluo observed it, then walked around to see if there was any food.

After walking around, Jiang Zhiluo found a lot of vegetables.

We also found jujube and apricot trees on the mountain, but neither jujube nor apricot trees were mature yet.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhiluo found some walnut trees and chestnut trees.

Although chestnuts and walnuts mature in autumn, last year's ripe chestnuts and walnuts all fell to the ground and were dried by the wind and sun, just in time for eating.

Jiang Zhiluo picked up walnuts on the ground and used a stone to cut open the outer shell. The walnuts inside were still fine.

There are also chestnuts. Because they are ripe and dried, the prickly shells on the outside have cracked, revealing the chestnuts inside.

Seeing so many walnuts and chestnuts, Jiang Zhiluo first put some in her backpack.

Jiang Zhiluo was very happy to see these walnuts and chestnuts.

Because a lot of delicious food flashed in her mind.

"Walnuts can be used to make porridge, and you can also add some when making bread."

"There are also chestnuts. You can make sugar-fried chestnuts."

With so many chestnuts, Jiang Zhiluo packed some in her backpack. The basket couldn't fit, so she packed them in the space.

"There are so many, but I can make some more sugar-fried chestnuts and sell them when I set up a stall."

Seeing that it was getting really dark, Jiang Zhiluo could only get up and go home first.

There were so many that she couldn't pick them up all by herself in one night.

When I was returning home with my backpack on my back, as soon as I reached the edge of the mountain forest, I saw Cui Hejin holding a lantern and preparing to enter the mountain.

"Cui Hejin!"

Jiang Zhiluo was slightly surprised when she saw him.

It was getting dark now, and under the light of the oil lamp, he looked even more picturesque and beautiful.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo was fine, Cui Hejin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Did you encounter any wild animals?"

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiluo was also a little strange.

If she sees wild animals, such as buffalo or wild boar, she can hunt them and go home.

Cui Hejin reached out and gently helped Jiang Zhiluo remove the vegetation debris from her hair with a gentle movement.

"Well, it's fine."

"Mom has already prepared dinner. Let's go home first." Jiang Zhiluo nodded.

Just as she was about to move forward, Cui Hejin put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I'll carry the basket."

Jiang Zhiluo instinctively wanted to refuse, but Cui Hejin said: "My health is much better, I will do all the work."

He really couldn't bear to let Jiang Zhiluo be tired from carrying so many things.

Jiang Zhiluo also knew that Cui Hejin was almost in good health now, but her meridians and internal strength needed time to repair, but her body was fine.

The medicine prepared for him was made with supernatural power, which greatly helped his body and repaired it very quickly.

Jiang Zhiluo gave the basket to Cui Hejin.

On Cui Hejin's back.

The two of them went down the mountain and walked home. Jiang Zhiluo explained: "I saw some chestnuts and walnuts on the mountain, and I happened to pick some back up."

"Walnuts can be used to make porridge, and they can also be put in when making bread."

"Chestnuts can also be made into sugar-fried chestnuts."

After the conditions at home improved, Jiang Zhiluo was willing to buy some condiments.

Including sugar.

There is a lot of sugar at home, which can be used to make chestnuts.

But don’t put too much, Mrs. Cui is not suitable for eating too much sweetness.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, "No."

"I treated Mrs. Jian and Mr. Jian today and earned 30 taels of silver."

If it was just a medical consultation, she wouldn't ask for so much money.

But there is also surgical treatment, so it is worth 30 taels.

"Mrs. Jian wanted to give me 100 taels of silver. I didn't ask for that much. I only took 30 taels of silver. Do you think I got less?"

Cui Hejin shook his head and said: "No, just act according to your own heart."

Jiang Zhiluo talked nonchalantly to Cui Hejin about going to Jian's house.

He also said what Jian Yunci said.

"So I went up the mountain to take a look in the afternoon, thinking it would be safer if I hid in the deep mountains and old forests."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhiluo looked at Cui Hejin and wondered whether a young master like him was unwilling to avoid him.

After a pause, Jiang Zhiluo said: "If there really is a war, would you be willing to go to the mountains to hide for a while?"

Cui Hejin said warmly: "Wherever you and mother are, I will be there."

"Do you think you are so greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Cui Hejin lowered his head and looked at Jiang Zhiluo with a gentle expression, and said, "Fool, the situation is like this. Only by surviving can you do more things."

As if thinking of something, Cui Hejin said softly: "That year, after the case of deposing the crown prince, my grandfather, father and many loyal ministers advised the emperor. They were not afraid of life and death. However, because of their remonstrance, the emperor ordered them to be deposed, controlled and imprisoned. Go to jail."

"They were all tortured in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Jiang Zhiluo's expression changed, "Why torture?"

"They are loyal ministers. Even if the emperor insists on having his own way, he should not be tortured."

Cui Hejin said: "The previous emperor was suspicious in his later years. After deposing the crown prince, he established the current emperor. After the current emperor came to power, he became more suspicious and did not trust anyone."

"And he was a little stubborn. He felt that those ministers were disobeying him and resisting him."

"After the former emperor passed away and the current emperor ascended the throne, he has always resented the officials who interceded for the deposed prince, so he tried every means to accuse them of unfounded crimes. In the past few years, many officials have been liquidated."

"The emperor has killed so many loyal ministers that among the officials in the court today, there are very few who really do things for the people. Most of them only care about their own interests and are busy working."

"You see, they were not afraid of death, but they were still killed by the emperor."

Jiang Zhiluo asked: "What kind of person was the prince back then?"

Jiang Zhiluo was a little curious. So many loyal ministers did not want the prince to be deposed. She was curious about what kind of person the prince was who was supported by so many loyal ministers.

The coding has been really slow these past two days, so here are two more updates.
