Chapter 3 Going out for food
The door of the wood-room was covered with a faint light, and the light shone through the gap into the dark wood-room.
The servants of the Su family dragged their tired bodies and trained to simply place the woodshed for a while, leaving the best position in the woodshed for the owner of the Su family.
"Master, Madam is packing up, go and have a rest!"
Su Zhong staggered over and said respectfully.
Su Qing was both moved and helpless, and finally sighed and walked over.
"Wuhan, come here to rest together. I said there is not so much attention at the moment."
Yao Wanniang looked at the few people who were curled into a group in the open space with distress and said.
"Madam, it's good that we're here!"
Hutie Wen shook her head and refused, and the maids and servants around her did not move at all.
"Qingzhu, Zhile, don't you listen to me?"
Su Yixuan said with a gloomy face and displeased.
After Qingzhu and Zhile looked at each other, they moved over obediently and sat on the straw in the woodshed. Seeing this, the others had to follow.
Su Zhili looked at her elder brother's unhappy aura and turned into a little fan.
"Sister, I'm like a brother when I grow up."
Su Mutian approached Su Zhili and whispered. Su Zhili looked at Su Mutian, who was obviously childish in front of him, and just smiled perfunctorily.
Yao Wanniang half held Su Qing in her arms and asked him to rest, trying to avoid the wound behind him.
"Miss Wan, don't worry that I'm fine!"
"Well, you must not be in trouble!"
Yao Wanniang held back her tears and said softly.
"good!"
Su Qing agreed vaguely and gradually fell asleep.
The Su family in the woodshed didn't say anything, and everyone took the time to rest. For a while, snoring and hungry sounds came one after another in the woodshed.
Su Zhili leaned against her elder brother Su Yixuan's arms and frowned. Since she felt that she would live as the Su family, it was naturally her duty to protect these people.
Su Zhili lowered her head and looked at her short figure. She was in trouble again with a small body that looked like bean sprouts. Not to mention protecting people, she could easily crush herself to death by any yamen runner outside.
This perception made Su Zhili a little discouraged. Forget it, since this road cannot be done, she can change it. As the saying goes, all the big roads lead to the Hall of Yama, no, no!
Su Zhili shook her head, feeling that the current situation must be too bad, which made her mood unconsciously pessimistic.
"Bang!"
The wooden door of the wood floor was kicked open from outside. Wu Da, the leader of the yamen runner, looked at the low and dark wood floor, frowned, and walked in with disgust. After the two yamen runners following him put down a bucket of water and a basket of steamed buns, Wu Da warned impatiently.
"This is your meal today. Let me calm down at night and stop crying and howling like the daytime!"
After Wu Da finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. After the firewood door was taken up, a sound of chains sounded. After the firewood door was locked, the shouts of the yamen runners gradually faded away.
Su Zhong and his friends brought the steamed buns and water to the Su family, then retreated and hugged aside, without any intention of eating.
Su Zhili looked at the dry steamed bun in front of her. Because she was not very hungry, she had no appetite. She held the steamed bun in her hand and wanted to break it apart and share it with the two brothers. She didn't know if it was the steamed bun or her strength was too weak, so the steamed bun was not moved at all.
"Brothers, I've eaten it during the day and I'm not hungry now!"
"I'll keep it for you first. I'll find me if I'm hungry tomorrow!" Su Yixuan took the steamed bun, broke it half and put it in Su Mutian's hand, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, carefully wrapped the remaining half of the steamed bun, and put it in his arms.
"Sister, I will keep your steamed buns for you too!" Su Mutian also put them up.
Su Zhili sighed helplessly as they looked at the actions of the two. She felt helpless and moved. She decided not to sit still and wait for death. She had to find a way to make the whole family fill her stomach.
The interaction between the three was seen by Su Qing and Yao Wanniang. The couple looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with relief.
"Uncle Zhong, please have dinner. Everyone has been hungry for a day. Please rest after eating!"
Su Yixuan spoke, everyone did what he said. Along the way, Su Yixuan took on the heavy responsibility of leading the Su family. Now his prestige among servants is vaguely greater than Su Qing, and he is very satisfied with his eldest son's transformation.
The journey to the southern wilderness is long and difficult, and natural disasters are unpredictable. Su Qing deliberately trained Su Yixuan to prevent an accident from happening to him. The Su family members could survive tenaciously under his leadership.
Everyone is very satisfied with the hard steamed buns and cold water. After all, filling your stomach is the most important thing at this stage.
As night fell, the backyard of the inn gradually became quiet, and snoring sounds were heard in the woodshed, and even Yao Wanniang, who usually pays attention to decorum, breathed much heavier.
Su Zhili, who had been pretending to be asleep, stood up gently and tiptoed to the door.
Although the woodshed door was locked, Su Zhili could pass through the gap between the two doors with a slight ease.
As soon as Su Zhili walked to the door, she heard a slight sound behind her. She suddenly turned around and met Su Yixuan's cold eyes.
In the dark eyes as deep as the night sky, there was scrutiny and thoughtfulness.
Su Zhili knew that Su Yixuan had already suspicious of her, but it was not suitable for explanation at the moment, so she glanced at Su Yixuan deeply, turned around and went out directly.
Su Zhili's goal was very clear. She wanted to go to the forest outside the station to find food. After all, she was stealing food, so she naturally didn't dare to attack the station's kitchen.
When she entered the backyard of the inn at night, Su Zhili accidentally saw a dog hole in the wall, and she could just get out of it.
Su Zhili walked carefully towards the dog hole, and the sound of cups in the front yard continued. Su Zhili glanced at the direction of the front yard and showed a contemptuous smile on her lips.
It is not Su Zhili's style that a gentleman will not avenge his grudges. It is impossible for Su Zhili to take revenge for ten years. Her Su Zhili's style is that she will be avenged with revenge, and it is never a night.
Today, Su Zhili found a good thing in the forest. It was a thumb-sized red mushroom, which was very hallucinating. At night, she put the crushed mushrooms into the food of the yamen runners when the chaos was in the evening.
This was just the interest she collected first, which made the yamen runners suffer.
However, thinking of her detailed work in the yamen runners, Su Zhili could only silently give her a word to ask for a blessing. After all, her ability is limited now and she can only take it in one fell swoop. If she is injured by mistake, I hope he won't blame him.
Before Su Zhili left, she went to the kitchen to steal salt and fire sacks. After she got out of the dog hole, she ran away and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she entered the forest.
With the bright moonlight, Su Zhili was looking for food to eat in the forest. There were a lot of wild vegetables in the forest, but Su Zhili wanted to find food to resist hunger, and the food for rhizomes was the best.
