The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 24
Seeing that everyone was silent, Jingli said seriously: "My mother's gentleness and humility were not treated well by my family. Instead, all the family property went to the other two families, and she still had to work as a cow and a horse to serve the whole family. It shows that this person is not necessarily a good thing." .”

"Even if this is the case for ordinary people, the family ties between Huang and Guizhou were much weaker that day. Think about it, the King of Hejian is so violent, and our prince wants to live in peace and quiet. The King of Hejian is so close that he cannot eat first. Drop him!"

Su heard this: "But our prince is the eldest brother of the King of Hejian!"

Jing Li sneered: "But we are still Grandma's granddaughter. Aren't we going to sell it as soon as we say it?"

"The Tian family has always been at war with each other, and it's not uncommon for brothers to fight each other. You've all heard of the drama, right?"

The other boys also nodded. How many days did Jing Ye attend the school? "Sister, you are right. I come from the house of the ruthless emperor, and the king of Hejian is unkind. It is only a matter of time before I come to annex the king of Xiaoyao."

Jing Li nodded: "Aye is right. Everyone knows what the King of Hejian is thinking. Don't the White Lotus Army and the bandits on Xia Mi Mountain know that too?"

"I'm afraid that before the King of Hejian comes, the White Lotus Army and the bandits will come to plunder first. Who can we fight against without any weapons?"

Su Shi and Fatty Aunt both changed their colors. It was such a difficult day. No crops could be grown in the ground, and the prey on several hills were all being killed by them. It was not easy for them to have enough to eat. The King of Hejian and the White Lotus Army Watching from the side, there is also the bandit who can't tell when he will appear.

"Then what can we do? We are a small and weak family. Once we hit the road, won't we become a meal for the refugees?"

Jing Li comforted the two of them and said, "That's why I said we have to plan in advance. They won't come over for a while, but in a few months, we won't have anything to eat or drink, and the roots and bark of the trees will be peeled off." When the time comes, the bandit and refugee White Lotus Army won’t be able to tell who will come first.”

Jing Li looked at the Lin brothers: "Aye taught you how to read. Now you probably all know each other a little bit. Is it okay to write a letter or something?"

Lin Dalang and Lin Sanlang nodded. Lin Erlang was a little embarrassed. It was always difficult for him to learn those crooked things.

Jing Li understood: "It's okay. I didn't ask you to take the exam. It's just that it's inconvenient to write a letter on the way, or if someone shows you something, you won't be deceived."

Then he told several people the tricks and tricks used by the boss of Yahang during the day. Su Shi broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't believe that the boss was so vicious and wanted to sell people to the land of fireworks.

Jing Li continued: "Keep recognizing the characters. You can recognize one character a day. You can't be fooled because of this in the future."

The fat aunt said: "Yes, listen to your sister, it's not a bad thing to know how to read!"

Jing Li looked at the brothers with a solemn expression: "The boxing skills I taught you, practice them with me every day. In the future, this will be our special skill to save our lives."

The brothers nodded in unison. Since Jingli gave them intensive training, their bodies have become stronger and stronger day by day, and many of them have sprung up throughout the winter and spring.

Jing Lifu looked at the fat aunt again: "Aunt, how much money does your family have now?"

Mrs. Su was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but the fat aunt didn't take it seriously: "Thanks to you, I have saved more than 120 taels of silver since last winter."

Jing Li nodded: "Our family is better, we have more than 300 yuan, and there is also some money given by the Xiao family."

She didn't dare to mention the silver that Haitang gave. In fact, Haitang gave 500 taels of silver and gold leaves that were exchanged, which was almost more than 1000. Then Xiao Lianyun from the Xiao family also gave some jewelry, which she exchanged all for silver. "How much food do we have?"

The fat aunt replied: "Since you asked us to save food last year, our family now has more than 300 kilograms of brown rice, more than 100 kilograms of flour, and some sweet potatoes. For meat, we have twelve pickled hares and 25 pheasants. The wild boars smelled so bad that we couldn’t handle them and sold them all.”

Jingli tapped her fingers on the table: "I have more than 1000 kilograms of rice, as well as game and other things, but it's still not enough."

"Qingzhou and Qinzhou are thousands of miles apart. We have to walk for at least a few months. The brothers are all young men. Each of us has to prepare at least a kilogram of food every day."

"We also need to prepare salt, carriages, quilts, medicines and cooking utensils."

Mrs. Su and Fat Aunt listened to Jing Li's plan, and their expressions became more solemn as they listened. Although the money sounded like a lot, it was still far from enough!

How expensive that carriage is!And those things are free of charge!
Su whispered: "Why don't we buy a carriage and just walk? The money we save will be enough to feed us for a while."

Jing Li interrupted Su: "No, you have to buy a carriage. You and Fatty Aunt are both not in good health. Sanlang and Aye are still children. The pain of running around is not something that lasts only a day or two."

"Besides, there is a carriage. At least we have a shelter from the wind and rain at night. We still have so much food. How many miles do you think we can go with just relying on people pushing the cart?"

Mrs. Su and Fat Aunt were speechless, yes!How many miles can you travel with just one pair of feet!
"These days, grandma and aunt should stop working in the fields. If you can get some dried vegetables, get them. If you can't get them, just rub some hemp rope to keep your body healthy."

When Jingli said this, he looked at the two of them and said, "I will take Da Lang and Erlang to Qingzhou Mansion in a few days. Our carriage must be customized, and we must buy what we need to buy early. The ones over there in Qingzhou Mansion I’m afraid the rich households and gentry will get the news faster than us, and they will also stock up on food in advance, so the prices of everything will probably increase.”

"Auntie, please live with Fatty Aunt, so that no one comes to cause trouble. Don't save food rations. You must know that everything is fine when you are in good health. If you are sick on the road, think about the consequences. Can we afford it?"

Jing Ye hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, you can go do things with Brother Lin and Brother Lin. Sanlang and I will look at Aniang and the others and we will definitely make them eat well."

Jingli had arranged everything and was about to get up and go back to her room to rest. Su suddenly said: "Ahli, your uncle Hai still has a few aunts who help us a lot. The world is going to be in chaos. Do we want to help them?" Tell me?"

Jing Li was silent for a moment: "Let's not talk about it for now. Let's wait until I come back from Qingzhou Mansion! The situation is complicated now. If the news leaks out and someone reports it to the government and accuses us of spreading rumors and inciting people's hearts, it will be very serious. The grave crime of beheading!”

"Even if it's about stocking up on food right now, only our two families can know about these plans, especially the two younger ones. Don't let anyone go out and let anyone know!"

Jing Li stared at Jing Ye and Lin Sanlang again and ordered.

When Mrs. Su and Fatty Aunt heard about the beheading, their faces turned pale with fright. They hurriedly told the children to remember their sister's words.

Jing Li didn't mean to scare them. These days, it's not uncommon for someone to accidentally say the wrong thing and have someone take the wrong spot and beheaded in jail or something.
