Chapter 56 Fang Gan, don’t follow me again
Xiangying used the hem of her skirt as a pocket and stuffed a bunch of crawling little crabs into it.
When she was carrying it back, she happened to meet Taoxue coming back.
Seeing Taoxue's depressed face, Xiangying understood: "Didn't you get any dry biscuits?"
Taoxue muttered: "They obviously still have them, but when it's my slave's turn, they just say they don't have any more."
Xiangying smiled.
"Taoxue, fire up the fire and cook, let's make crabs to eat!"
The three little ones hurriedly gathered around, blinking their big bright eyes, looking curiously at the crabs Xiangying caught.
"Wow, these crabs are so small and have no meat. How can you eat them?" Xiang Xiuxiu was curious.
Xiangying said with a smile: "If you eat it stir-fried, it will be very fragrant even without meat. Just wait."
Xiang Yuanxiao stretched out his chubby hand out of curiosity. He was about to catch a crab to play with, but his fingertips were pinched by the crab's pliers.
"Ah, it hurts!" He screamed and ran to Xiang Yuanlang, "Second brother, help me."
Xiang Yuenlang shouted to the crab: "Get off my brother's hand quickly!"
The little crab was really obedient and loosened its claws.
Xiang Yuanxiao looked at his swollen fingers and wanted to cry, but found that everyone was looking at him, so he held it back.
He puffed up his chubby little face and pretended to be cool and said: "It actually doesn't hurt that much. I'm just teasing you."
These words directly made Xiangli and the others laugh.
Xiangying used a dagger to cut the crab into two halves, then sprinkled it with salt to marinate.
When the pot was ready, she secretly skimmed a piece of lard into it.
Then, she put in the crabs and stir-fried them. She took out her own seasonings from the bag and said she bought them in Yucheng.
Dried Sichuan peppercorns and dried ginger slices are stir-fried until fragrant.
The fragrance wafted far away, attracting the attention of the surrounding prisoners.
Shangguan Taifei and the others shared dry biscuits, and some couldn't help but swallowed when they smelled Xiangying's side.
Xiang Qianqian held the dry biscuits and said coldly: "The river is so dirty, with horse manure floating along the water. I really don't understand why anyone dares to catch crabs in it and eat it?"
When everyone heard it, they immediately felt it made sense.
No matter how fragrant it is, it was caught from the creek where the soldiers washed their horses.
While they were discussing, Xiangying had already taken out the stir-fried spicy crabs and distributed them to the children.
The crabs have been fried until they are crispy, and you can swallow them with the skin and meat.
The three little ones all sizzled and stuck out their tongues as it was so spicy, but they kept saying how delicious it was while eating.
Xiangying gave some to her brother Xiangli and watched him eat it without changing his expression.
"Brother, how are you, is it spicy?"
"It's not spicy." Xiangli smiled gently, but the tears that were caused by the spicy food fell down his eyes.
Xiangying laughed.
Suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw Jin Chen coming on patrol with his soldiers.
The beauty who was smiling just now suddenly turned cold.
She put the remaining spicy crabs in the pot into Qi Fengyi's bowl.
The three little ones were holding bowls and eating deliciously with their heads down, when they looked up and saw Guchen coming.
They all let out a loud "hum", then turned their backs, giving him three angry little figures.
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi also coldly looked at each other and turned away from him.
Xie Chen walked by and saw Xiangying and the others, each of their faces looking uglier than the last.
What's going on again?
He left suspiciously.
Early the next morning, many of them were upset after drinking yesterday's stream water.
Xiangying and the others had nothing to do.
Before daybreak, the entire exile team set off again.
Xiangying took on the task of pulling the wooden cart just like yesterday.
She walked all day without feeling tired until she rested in the woods that night. In the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up from hunger.
She simply ate some homemade sandwiches in the evening, but her body consumed too much energy throughout the day. She immediately got into the space and made a fragrant spicy hotpot.
All the meatballs that could be seen were thrown into the pot, as well as sliced sausages, a handful of green vegetables, mushrooms and tofu.
It's spicy and fragrant, and paired with vermicelli, it's extremely delicious.
Xiangying quietly got up, hid in the woods, ate everything, and made herself a cup of peach honey dew.
She leaned against the big tree, looked up at the stars, and enjoyed the evening breeze.
At this moment, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
Xiangying frowned suddenly, still holding the water bag in his hand, and his body was already frozen.
This person is so powerful, she didn't even know he was close to him just now?
Xiangying glanced sideways slightly, and a low-pitched call came from beside her: "Princess, I finally found you."
The next second, before he could express his emotions, Xiangying grabbed his wrist, threw him over his shoulder and threw him away.
Almost at the same moment, Xiangying hid the water bag, jumped over, pressed her knees against the man's chest, and pressed her hands on the acupuncture points on his neck.
Just press it hard and the man will die in an instant.
"Wait!" The man's low voice was urgent, "Eldest Princess, please see clearly, it's me!"
He raised his head slightly, revealing an extremely charming face.
He was handsome and a little evil, but those eyes were like those of a dog, looking at Xiangying dreamingly.
Looking at his face, Xiangying frowned, searching for memories in her mind in confusion.
Finally, he matched up with someone in his memory.
This man's name is Fang Gan, one of the handsome men raised by the original owner.
However, that is his apparent identity.
In fact, the original owner arranged for Fang Gan to raise a group of private soldiers outside, called dead soldiers.
Xiangying was not sure whether the other party was a friend or an enemy for the time being, so she raised her eyebrows coldly: "Fang Qian? Why did you come here?"
Fang Gan was so excited that he almost cried.
"After the fall of the country, I led the dead soldiers back to the capital. I wanted to rescue him, but the eldest princess had already left with the exile team. I chased her along the way, lost my way, and finally saw the mark left by the eldest princess."
He took out a piece of bark from his sleeve.
A round plum blossom is painted on it.
Xiangying frowned slightly. She recognized this pattern, which was exactly the mark carved on the tree by her brother Xiangli.
She let go of her hand and Fang Gan stood up, covering his neck and coughing.
"Princess...I haven't seen you for a few days. Why have your hands become stronger?"
Xiangying's eyes were cold: "You are late. I have decided to follow the exile army to South Vietnam. You can take people back."
She turned to leave, but Fang Gan quickly caught up and stopped in front of her.
"How can that be done? Going to South Vietnam is like entering the tiger's den! How will those people treat you?"
"And I observed all the way today. Those soldiers didn't even give you food. It's really too much of a lie."
"So, eldest princess, come with me," Fang Gan directly held Xiangying's hand, "I will take you and His Royal Highness to escape from here."
Xiangying lowered her eyes and looked coldly at the hand he held.
Under the moonlight, Fang Gan smiled like a sincere puppy.
However, the next second, Xiangying ruthlessly threw him over her shoulder and threw him out again.
Fang Qian once again lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment. He got up and spat out the fallen leaves in his mouth.
He was very aggrieved: "Princess, you have never been like this before. Don't you really like me holding your hand?"
Xiangying's tone was cold: "That was before. From now on, I will set rules again. The first point is, don't touch me casually."
Fang Gan stood up from the ground and patted his robe.
His voice was muffled: "We even have children, and you still say this, it's really heartless."
Xiangying turned around and left, then turned around and opened her eyes wide: "What did you say?"
