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

Chapter 57

"Dad, take care of the child! What if he falls into the pot and gets burned?"

The men were smiling and helping the old ladies smoke the meat. They took out the meat strips that had been marinated in salt and soy sauce and cut them into thin slices. The soy sauce was provided by Chef Fan. His boss left early when he saw that the situation was not good. I used all the soy sauce to pay for my wages, and I just need it now.

The cut pieces of meat were dried over the fire. Originally, air-drying was the best, but now we were in a hurry and it was summer. We couldn't put it away, and we didn't have the conditions to wait for it to dry, so we had to bake it like this first.

The kids came around again smelling the aroma of meat, but the men were not as patient as the mothers.

"Get away, this is all eaten raw. Even if it is edible, I won't eat it now. I have to save it for the road in the future!"

If there are children, they will cry to find their grandparents. The old men are checking the vehicles and feeding the livestock with fodder and water. When the children come to find them, they quickly ask them to groom the animals. The children are aggrieved and write half a sentence together. There is still work to be done without comfort.

Mrs. Su and several old ladies were pasting cakes. After hearing this, she hurriedly picked a few cooked cakes and handed them to Aunt An: "Sister-in-law An, go and divide the cakes among the children first. The bone soup should be ready soon. Let them eat first, the little ones have tender intestines and won’t resist hunger!”

Mrs. An was not polite. She took the pancakes and called the children together, and poured out a basin of bone soup to dry: "Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry. We have them all today, so you will be full."

The little kids stopped crying and wolfed down the pancakes, and the half-grown girls swallowed their saliva and served bone soup to their brothers.

Jingli lay on the boulder above the col, looking at the smiling faces illuminated by the firelight below, feeling a little in a trance.

Her previous life was not very good. Her mother gave birth to her before we were married. She had never met her biological father. It was already the end of the world when she was born, and her living environment was extremely harsh.

When she was three years old, her mother was eaten by zombies. She was taken in by a passing mercenary team and began various trainings. Later, she awakened the wood power and became the backbone of the team.

When we were out on missions, we used to chat and laugh under such a bonfire. Now, across time and space, things have changed.

Someone next to him handed over a bowl of hot soup. Jing Li raised his eyes and met Huo Shen's obsidian eyes. Even though this man was here, he still couldn't hide his noble aura. His family must have been The home of Zhong Ming Ding Shi.

Huo Shen looked at the night sky and didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he broke the silence: "Don't you feel tired with such a group of people?"

Jing Li blew on the hot bone soup and said, "They are all my family members. I work hard for my family. I don't know if I am tired or not!"

Huo Shen looked back at her with a strange look: "But they have never been your family!"

Jing Li almost got burned. At that moment, she seemed to feel that Huo Shen's eyes penetrated her skin and saw her soul from another world.

Jing Li looked at Huo Shen without changing her expression: "Ha! I don't know why Mr. Huo said this. The uncles and aunts here have all watched me grow up. Over there are my mother-in-law and my brother. What do you mean? What do you mean?"

The two looked at each other for a long time before Huo Shen slowly looked away: "You misunderstood, I was talking about the villagers. Along the way, there are always some people who play tricks on you, and you still treat them as relatives!"

Jing Li looked at Xiao Cui Niang who was beating Xiao Cui down below: "You are right, there are always some short-sighted people here who would fight for anything with a fingernail as big as theirs."

"But they were born in that world. The farthest they have been is the town. Only a handful of them have been to the county. How far do you think they can see?"

The poverty day after day makes them vent all their dissatisfaction and sorrow on groups weaker than themselves, such as daughters and daughters-in-law. The world in their hearts is as barren as the river in their hometown that has dried up due to long drought.

Huo Shen sneered: "So you are willing to take these people to the unknown northern land. If the northern land is even more cold and miserable, do you think these people will blame you?" Jing Li said resolutely: "In that case I promise to take them to the North, and no matter what lies ahead, they have to go on, not to mention that there is no way out in this world?"

She took over the body of the original owner and secretly promised to take good care of Su Shi and Jing Ye. Su Shi loved her very much, and her younger brother Jing Ye also really cared about her sister, so Jing Li couldn't just throw away this family.

"Sister, come down and eat quickly. Grandpa and the others are waiting for you to come over before they start eating!" Jing Ye stood below and called his sister.

Jingli stood up, patted her clothes, and jumped down. Huo Shen behind her looked at her back with an unpredictable expression. From below, people from Jingjia Village could be heard calling Jingli to eat. The sound was full of meaning. Family-like care.

family?There was a trace of sarcasm in the corner of Huo Shen's mouth, and Haitang came over cautiously: "Sir, let's have something to eat!"

Huo Shen picked up the unfinished soup from Jingli next to him, raised his head and drank it all. The slightly warm soup had lost its fresh aroma. Huo Shen gently wiped the soup stains on his lips. The taste seemed to be... not bad.

Haitang was a little stunned, then lowered her head, not daring to look up at Huo Shen's face.

Huo Shen stood in the night wind, his figure slender and lonely. Someone like him was not worthy of walking into the bustle.

It was extremely lively down there, Mr. Jing was smacking his lips, it was so delicious!Why is this soup so delicious?

Hunter Zhao came over with some big bones: "Old man, come and eat some bones!"

Mr. Jing waved his hand: "Don't! Don't! Give it to the young people to chew on. The old man's teeth are weak and he can't chew on it anymore! I'll be fine just drinking this soup!"

Jing Dafu carried the bones and walked up to the Wang family guards: "Brothers, these are not outsiders. We can eat together. Don't let me carry them around like this!"

The guards smiled honestly and were not polite enough to join Jing Dafu in drinking soup and chewing bones.

Mrs. Su brought soup and bones to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, drink some soup quickly. It's not easy to eat hot food on the road!"

Miss Wang covered her nose: "Well, grandma, this smells so bad!"

Mrs. Su looked a little embarrassed. Mrs. Wang patted her daughter and apologized to Ms. Su: "I'm sorry! This girl is a little spoiled!"

Mrs. Su smiled disapprovingly: "We farmers don't know how to prepare anything to eat. Don't blame Miss Wang for not being used to it."

Chef Fan swung his big spoon: "Boys, you are so excited to eat the meat. We won't be able to take away the bones until we finish them tomorrow."

Wang Dalong laughed and replied: "Master Fan, please keep it in your heart. We can't do anything else. We are very good at eating meat. If the bones weren't too hard, there wouldn't even be any residue left." Down."

Lao Wangtou's eldest daughter-in-law laughed and scolded her son: "You, a monkey boy, talk a lot. Even eating meat can't stop your mouth."

The aunts were busy putting meat on Jingli: "Ahli, come on, you have to eat more, I see you're so tired these days!"

"No, hurry up and get some more cakes for our Ah Li."
