Chapter 18 Food temptation
Just as he was talking, He Jiuniang poured the water from her bamboo tube to her very well.

Ling Yue did not expect that this family would repay their kindness, but she was not one to take advantage. She gave He Jiuniang the purse in her hand, said thank you, then turned around and left in a hurry.

He Jiuniang didn't look at how much money was in her purse, so she gave the purse to Mrs. Sun and followed her.

Ling Yue was very unhappy and stared at her defensively: "Why are you following me?"

We were already some distance away from the Lu family, and we could see a beautiful woman sitting under a tree not far away. Although there were maids waiting beside her, we could still tell that the woman was uncomfortable.

He Jiuniang lowered her voice and said, "I think your wife must be suffering from heat stroke. I happen to have some heat-relieving potions here, which may be able to help."

Ling Yue didn't think she was a good person. Before, my wife had insomnia, and she happened to have insomnia medicine. Now, my wife had heatstroke, and she happened to have heat-relieving medicine. Isn't this a trap?

"Who are you? What are your intentions towards our wife?"

Ling Yue drew out her long sword and put it against her neck. The hairs on the Lu family's hair stood up at the sight. What happened?
He Jiuniang blinked innocently: "I'm just a country woman, I don't have any intentions! It's just that your wife is suffering from heat stroke when you look like that. I thought you saved my family's lives, so I just wanted to help."

As she spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from the tattered little bundle, which was exactly the same as the bottle that contained the cinnabar tranquilizing pills last time.

He opened his mouth and said: "It's not a peaceful journey. I picked these up randomly before. They are all good things. You will know if you try them, girl."

The bottle contained Huoxiang Zhengqi water, which had a strong smell. Ling Yue frowned as soon as she opened the bottle cap.

"Why should I trust you?"

Ling Yue is still very wary. This journey is not peaceful, and she can encounter all kinds of monsters and monsters. Moreover, it is related to the safety of her wife, so she must not act hastily.

He Jiuniang felt that it was useless to say more, so she took the small porcelain bottle, opened it and took a sip first: "Do you believe me now?"

She wiped her mouth and said very unhappy: "If it weren't for the sake of you saving our family, I wouldn't bother to worry about it!"

Ling Yue looked at her deeply, frowned and walked towards the motorcade.

Anyway, it's not far away. If something happens to Madam, she will kill these people on the spot.

Jiang Ruoya leaned against the tree trunk in a daze. Her body was already weak. She just felt that she might die on the road this time. There was nothing else, except that her daughter had not been found yet, and her husband was not perfect either. There was a lot in her heart. Pity.

Ling Yue walked to her and knelt down, gave her some water first, then took out the porcelain bottle and explained the origin, and then said: "The woman said it can relieve the heat. Do you want to try it, madam?"

Ling Xue immediately disagreed: "No one here knows medical knowledge, so don't harm Madam."

Ling Yue didn't want to either, but thinking of the way He Jiuniang spoke, she gritted her teeth and said, "That woman took a sip in front of me, and I didn't see anything wrong with her."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoya glanced at He Jiuniang from a distance and found that she had already gone back. The family had found a cool place to rest, and had even started setting up a fire to cook food. She must have been a magnanimous person.

"Since she has good intentions, don't let her down."

She brought the medicine bottle over. The smell was overwhelming, but it was nothing to a person like her who drank medicine all year round. She drank it in one gulp while holding her breath.

Although the potion is bitter, after drinking it, I feel much better all over my body, and my head is not as dizzy as before.

"It seems that we have misunderstood them." When He Jiuniang returned to the Lu family, Mrs. Sun was the first to pull her over anxiously for a closer inspection. Then she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Those people really don't know what is good and what is good. They are clearly Helping them makes it seem like we are the bad guys!”

She knew that He Jiuniang was carrying some medicine in her bag, and she had taken out the medicine before Old Man Lu suffered from heatstroke, so she didn't worry too much.

Seeing the way the little old lady was protecting her calf, He Jiuniang felt extremely relaxed and nodded in agreement with her: "That's right, I really don't know what is good and what is good! If I weren't a person who values ​​love and justice, who would care about them!"

Sun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to be so thick-skinned. He was caught off guard. After reacting, he slapped her arm angrily and then turned around to do his own thing.

What Yu is making tonight is bacon stewed rice.

First fry the fat on the bacon to make oil, then add the rice and bacon and simmer until cooked.

It sounds simple, but it takes a lot of heat and can get mushy if you're not careful.

At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with a rich fragrance.

The other families swallowed their saliva. They all had the same food. The Lu family also had what they had, but they couldn't make such delicious food. I was really pissed off!

They still had something to eat, but the convoy not far away was even more miserable. They had no water and could only eat dry food. Eating dry food would make their throats sore, so they simply refused to eat it.

Jiang Ruoya vaguely smelled Lu's braised bacon rice and swallowed her saliva. She had never experienced such a hungry feeling in her entire life.

What’s even more uncomfortable is that even though I’m so hungry that my chest is touching my back, there’s still someone cooking a pot of bacon and rice next to me!
I'm so bored!
Ling Xue also smelled the compelling aroma, saw Jiang Ruoya swallowing her saliva, and hurriedly said: "Madam, Cheng Ying and the others will be back soon."

The implication is that as long as you bear with it, I will cook for you when the water comes.

Jiang Ruoya had never felt that life was so difficult, and she didn't know why she was so hungry today. She didn't usually have a good appetite.

"It's time to eat! Stop playing!"

Not far away, Mrs. Sun's voice was heard calling the children, which meant that the bacon stewed rice was ready.

Jiang Ruoya couldn't bear to feel uncomfortable all over, Ling Yue said cleverly: "I'll go find them and buy some food!"

Normally, Jiang Ruoya would never let her do such an rude thing, but today, she had to urge her to go quickly, otherwise it would be gone later!

While the Lu family was eating their own food, they watched Ling Yue walking towards them. He Jiuniang whispered to Mrs. Sun: "I must be unable to stand the smell of the meat cooked by my sister-in-law, so come here to buy food!"

"You guessed it a long time ago?"

Sun looked at her questioningly. No wonder He Jiuniang asked Yu to do more before. It turned out to be this idea.

"Of course, they are the masters who are not short of money. Otherwise, can they give 30 taels of silver for a bamboo tube of water? If you have money, you are a bastard. We will arrive in Qianzhou soon. We can use the money we earn to buy more Rice noodles!”

After saying that, He Jiuniang took a sip of saliva, and Sun Shi stayed away from her in disgust.

Why does she feel that the third daughter-in-law is becoming more and more obsolete?
When Ling Yue came over, she saw the young and old of the Lu family looking at her with bright eyes, as if she was the fragrant piece of bacon.
