Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 45: Know some medical skills
Although Tweety was temporarily accepted by Mei Qian and the others, Tweety's range of activities was limited to the bow and a small part of the cabin near the bow.

As for other places where luggage is stored and the stern where food is stored and cooking is done, Tweety cannot go there at all.

"Ever thought about what you would do if the water bandits really came?"

Mei Qian and the others brought in a lot of things during the day, and Li Baizhou was lucky enough to catch a fish in the evening, so in the evening, with Mrs. Mei's approval, the family started making this water duck.

However, Mei Qian secretly used a few pieces of taro and seasoning plants to secretly trade half a roasted water duck with Li Baizhou.

Li Baizhou insisted on making soup, while Mei Qian had nothing to say.

All she had to do was exchange the roasted water duck for nutrient solution.

"Soldiers will come to cover up the water and earth. If you are really caught seeking revenge, then resist."

Mei Qian didn't have any good ideas, but after dinner, she would continue rowing with her father and the others.

The recent water flow itself is not slow, and her family is rowing like crazy. If the water bandits can catch up, unless they use a small boat, many people will row desperately to catch up.

It turns out that Mei Qian put bait on the water bandits and left a mark, waiting for the water bandits to come and attack after dark. Did Mei Qian ever wonder if she was not afraid of people running away?
So she asked Cui'er specifically, and Cui'er only said that if other ships were like Mei Qian's, they would definitely be afraid of running away.

But the vast majority of those who rowed away were not as motivated as their family.

As the current speeds up, many boatmen usually just steer the boat and don't expend so much effort.

This was how Cui'er's family took a boat ride before.

Everyone on the boat rested at night, but the water bandits sneaked up and killed them inside and outside.

"What if there are really hundreds of people?"

“So many people came out just to deal with us?
What a loss. The little food we have at home is not enough to make a full meal for all these people.

Besides, Cui'er didn't say it either. They've been eyeing a lot of big ships recently. If it's just for us, it's not worth the gain. I guess there aren't many people to deal with us. "

Mei Qianjiang and Li Baizhou talked about this matter while they were cooking. Li Baizhou pondered for a moment and said, "So - did you really believe that person who said there were many water bandits?"

"I don't know." Mei Qian shook her head, "After all, the court doesn't care about the movements of so many people. Why should I worry about this?"

Every time Mei Qian tried to blame this kind of thing to the court, she couldn't do anything, and she would choke Li Baizhou half to death.

At this moment, Mei Qian felt Li Baizhou's glare, and Mei Qian asked plausibly:
"What's wrong?
Isn't what I said true?

Those officials don't care about these water bandits. If you ask me what I have to say, how can I have any opinion? "

"Aren't you afraid that if there are too many water bandits, they will cause trouble to everyone? Don't you think it will bring trouble to you now?"

"So, we ordinary people have to worry about things that should be dealt with by the court. So what do we do with the taxes we pay every year?"

"That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?"

Mei Qian glanced at Li Baizhou, chuckled and asked, "You don't want to investigate the origin of this water bandit, do you?"

As if she was offended by Mei Qian's question, Mei Qian turned to add more firewood to the stove and said: "Let me remind you that a large group of people in our family came to escape trouble in the south, and you - you are not in a hurry to return. Will you meet your family in Beijing?"

Mei Qian advised him not to have a hand in everything.

At this moment, Li Baizhou also realized the fault of his words just now, and immediately restrained his attitude.

"I just got distracted."

"nothing."

Mei Qian shook her head and said she didn't care, but she remembered it in her heart, and she had more guesses about Li Baizhou's performance.

It is certain that someone in the family will be an official. He is young and looks worried about the country and the people. I don’t know if he has been influenced by his elders every day.

Mei Qian thought about it and worked silently. The two of them were speechless.

After a long while, Li Baizhou suddenly asked: "Are you... all disappointed with the court?"

"Don't say this nonsense. We Sheng Dou people have no objections."

Mei Qian's words were sarcastic and she said she had no opinion, but her tone sounded harsh and harsh. After all, I have seen the light of future generations. Who can see such a chaotic and dark world today?

"That's not what I meant, it's just...there are a lot of things I can only say to you..."

Li Baizhou was wandering alone at a young age, and there were people chasing him. These few days on this boat were probably not the easiest for him.

However, no matter how easy his life was, he still had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to talk to. After searching around, he never expected that the person he could talk to best would be Mei Qian.

But sometimes Mei Qian's words are really thorny, and she just doesn't want to talk to her.

"Oh~" Mei Qian was annoyed by Li Baizhou's sight. She put down the work in her hands and sighed, turned to stare at Li Baizhou, and asked, "Let me ask you, what do you do as a soldier?"

"Resist foreign enemies and guard..."

"Stop, stop, keep it simple."

"Resist foreign enemies and protect Anguo's stability."

"What does being an official do?"

"A disciple of the Emperor, sharing your Majesty's worries."

"What do you do?"

Li Baizhou: "...Of course they are the common people."

"Oh~"

Seeing Li Baizhou say that she was a commoner, Mei Qian raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything and just continued to ask: "What does a businessman do?"

"Businessmen make money."

“What does a county magistrate do?”

"One parent is an official and benefits the people."

"Oh~"

Li Baizhou asked Mei Qian many people, some and all. Just as he was trying to analyze something, he heard Mei Qian say: "Everyone has something to do. You worry about this and that every day. In the end, Aren’t you still a common man?
When you are in your position and seeking your government, why are you worrying about nothing every day? "

Finally, Mei Qian answered the question, but although Li Baizhou seemed to have gained something, he must have a stubborn temper.

Mei Qian secretly guessed, and then changed the topic and didn't want to continue talking about these things with him.

"This is a water duck roasted in mud. How long does it take?"

"Hurry, just wait until the fragrance of the reed leaves floats out from the mud."

Li Baizhou's attention was also turned to the food. He opened the lid and looked at the bubbling duck soup in the pot. Mei Qian also gave him a bowl of flour and asked him to stir the batter to make gnocchi soup.

Mei Qian didn't talk to Li Baizhou for the rest of the time. She turned around and planned to go into the cabin to rest. As soon as she entered, she saw Cui'er taking Jiang's pulse.

"Do you know medical skills?"

Mei Qian asked a little surprised when she saw this.

"My father is a doctor."

Cui'er carefully felt Jiang's pulse without raising her head. While feeling the pulse, she raised her thin and curved eyebrows and asked, "That's strange. This aunt has been pregnant for more than eight months. What's her pulse?" Stable pulse, strong and strong..."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"That's why I'm curious, are you all going from the north to the south to evacuate? It's been a bumpy journey, but this aunt doesn't seem to have suffered at all. She is very healthy."

Cui'er had some doubts about her medical skills, and as she spoke, she took Jiang's pulse carefully.

"really good."

After repeated confirmations, Cui Er began to doubt life...

　Tweety: One meal every two days, a lively person?
　　Everyone: Yeah, yeah, that’s right~
　　Tweety: 6
