Chapter 37 Where did you get these herbs
Skinny Monkey came with people: "What's going on!"
Xiang Qianqian's tone was weak and her eyes kept glancing in the direction of Xiang Ying.
"It's nothing. I just smell the fragrance and feel hungry and dizzy. I can't stand it."
The thin monkey was startled and turned to look at Xiangying's phoenix eyes.
Just now Jie Chen was sitting next to her, eating with her, how dare Skinny Monkey say anything to her?
He kicked Xiang Qianqian: "Come on! Get up quickly if you're not starving to death. Fall to the ground and pretend to be dead. Be careful and I'll throw it outside for you."
Xiangying's sneer voice came from over there: "Xiang Qianqian, if you are really hungry, I have a wooden stick with roasted meat here, can I give you a few licks?"
Xiang Qianqian's face turned pale as she stood up from the ground and patted her skirt.
"Big sister, keep it for yourself, who cares about broken wooden sticks!"
She sat down on the stone again, her hungry stomach growling, and she no longer asked for shame.
Listening to Xiangying and the others talking and laughing, Feng Meiren couldn't help but be envious: "The eldest princess is so capable, she has never been hungry."
Xiang Qianqian looked back at her: "Are you envious? If you are envious, you can also curry favor with the supervisor. If you get the supervisor's favor, you will have endless food."
Feng Meiren's face suddenly turned pale, and she waved her hands repeatedly: "How can this be done? I...I am the emperor's man."
When this was mentioned, Xiang Qianqian felt depressed.
The father and mother ran away and did not want to take her with them.
Thinking of what Xiangying said, I felt humiliated and humiliated for a moment. I walked behind a remote tree and buried my head in sobs.
Originally, when Scarface was around, she could exchange labor for food.
But now the scarred face was taken away by Xiangying and replaced by a thin monkey. That man was not easy to talk to, and Xiang Qianqian started to feel hungry again.
At this moment, someone tapped her on the shoulder and handed her a piece of dry biscuit.
Xiang Qianqian looked up with tears in his eyes and saw that it was the captain who had quarreled with Xiang Ying during the day, his surname was Jia.
"Captain Jia," Xiang Qianqian wiped away her tears, "Is this for me?"
Captain Jia nodded with a smile. The wrinkles at the end of his narrowed eyes looked sinister.
"Take it and eat it. I see you have been hungry for a long time."
Xiang Qianqian took it, said thank you twice, and devoured it.
Captain Jia took the opportunity to inquire: "That girl had a arrogant attitude during the day, and she didn't look like an exile. I saw that you called her big sister, and I saw that she was very close to the Jie Jiejun. What is their relationship?"
Xiang Qianqian was a little dissatisfied and said: "Haven't you heard of the reputation of Xiang Ying, the eldest princess of the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
"Any handsome young boy she likes will be taken to the Male Rabbit Stage by her. I think this Jie Jiejun is probably also under her spell!"
Captain Jia rolled his eyes and knew what was going on.
He laughed twice: "Do you want to never go hungry again? Only when Xiangying has someone to rely on can she live a comfortable life. You can do the same."
Xiang Qianqian stopped eating.
She raised her eyes and looked into Captain Jia's eyes, thinking of Qi Fengyi they had tortured, and suddenly felt a little scared.
"I don't want...Thank you Captain Jia. My eldest sister doesn't follow the rules, but I want to follow the rules."
The implication is that she will never betray her beauty.
Captain Jia chuckled: "You are overthinking, I didn't mean that."
"I like that Qi Fengyi, but you also know that the Jie Jie Army followed Xiang Ying's wishes and restrained us brothers."
"If I go directly to her, I will be scolded. If you can help me facilitate this good thing, I will give you a share of whatever I have to eat in the future."
Xiang Qianqian was confused: "Me? What can I do."
"Tonight, help me ask her out at midnight. There is some misunderstanding. I want to explain it to her face to face."
When Captain Jia squinted his eyes, his face was dark and yellow, but the whites of his eyes seemed to be shining with light, which was scary. Xiang Qianqian quickly stood up and threw away the uneaten dry biscuits.
"Captain Jia should go find her and talk to her himself. I don't dare to violate the rules."
She's not stupid, how could she not understand the meaning?
Jie Chen would not let the new group of soldiers insult the female prisoners. If she helped invite Qi Fengyi out, and there would be a fuss, Captain Jia could say that Qi Fengyi volunteered, but Xiang Qianqian could not escape punishment.
There's no good in it, so she won't do it.
Captain Jia was not in a hurry either.
The journey of exile is so hard, let's see how long she can hold on.

When it gets dark, Xiangying wakes up.
It was too humid in the forest, making sleeping uncomfortable.
Xiangying went into the advanced space and made fish fillet rice noodles for herself.
The rice noodles were soaked last night, white and tender, smooth and chewy.
The black fish was peeled off its scales and internal organs, and Xiangying used her murderous knife skills to cut the fish into pieces as thin as cicada wings.
Blanch it in water to remove the fishy smell. Finally, scoop out a spoonful of bone broth and put the cooked rice noodles in it.
Put the fish on top, add green onion and coriander, and finally add two drops of sesame oil.
Not to mention how delicious it tasted, after finishing it all, she made herself another cup of lychee green tea.
The sweet and delicious lychee meat is smashed into pieces, with a sweet aroma, which weakens the bitterness of the green tea and makes it refreshing and delicious.
After she had enough to eat and drink, she began to cook for the children.
What was prepared for the three little ones was vegetable and lean meat porridge, with two eggs for each person.
Well, the kids don’t have much appetite in the morning, so just make do with what they have!
Xiang Li and Qi Fengyi are also porridge. They are both injured and cannot eat too much meat for the time being.
When Qi Fengyi saw the porridge brought by Xiang Ying, she didn't show any doubts. She buried her head in drinking. After finishing the drink, she said thank you and continued in silence.
When it was time to set off, the exile team still lingered on leaving.
Taoxue went to the front to inquire and came back and said: "It's too scary. I saw the supervisors and the others were burying dead people. They said someone was bitten by poisonous insects last night and died in the morning!"
Lin Lingxiang nodded: "Some poisonous insects are indeed very poisonous. Thanks to the herbs given by the eldest princess last night, otherwise we would also suffer. I heard that many soldiers were bitten. The mild ones caused blisters, and the severe ones were direct. It’s life-threatening.”
Xiang Xiuxiu hugged Xiang Ying's arm and said in a sweet voice: "Follow your mother and you won't have to worry about anything!"
This little girl actually learned this sentence.
At this moment, Skinny Monkey led the military doctor and a few soldiers and walked over quickly.
The herb in his hand was exactly what Xiangying used to repel insects yesterday.
"Prisoner Xiangying, the military doctor has a few questions to ask you. Please answer them carefully." Thin Monkey winked.
"This is your herbal medicine? Where did you get it?" The military doctor stood in front of Xiang Ying and asked directly.
Yu Bin followed in a panic and apologized to Xiang Ying: "Princess, I, I didn't mean it. Just now I told others that the herbs you found are useful and we were not bitten by insects. I didn't expect that the military doctor heard me."< br>
The military doctor, who was over forty years old, had a square face and a serious tone: "This kind of grass is called Qixingzi. It is specially designed to kill poisonous insects. It likes to grow in harsh and hot places. There is no such grass around here. Where did yours come from? ”
Xiangying's heart sank.
This grass is naturally taken from space. To others, it can be said to be picked from the ground.
But the military doctor knows pharmacology, so I'm afraid he won't be able to deceive him.
