Chapter 272: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 15

Two chickens are definitely not enough for so many people to share. If they really want to eat meat, twenty people will not even be able to fill their stomachs.

So they decided to stew the two chickens so that at least everyone could have a bowl of broth.

Speaking of stewing soup, they thought of Chu Yuan. It must be said that the food she sent these days tasted great. The maid who followed her seemed to be a good cook.

But when they raised their heads to search for Chu Yuan, she and her carriage had disappeared.

Just when this man-chicken fight was about to come to an end, Chu Yuan had already driven away.

She didn't want to have anything to do with these chickens, in case something happened to them and they suspected her. She was just a civilian now, and there would be no benefit in having a conflict with these officials openly.

Since they couldn't find the chef they wanted, these people had to do it themselves. Fortunately, although they couldn't cook, they still had some common sense.

First, the chicken is plucked, then the internal organs are removed, and then it is stewed in a large iron pot. The final chicken soup is also very decent.

Each official drank a bowl of meat soup happily, and some even soaked their allocated cakes in the soup and ate without even raising their heads.

It was not until they had cleaned up the mess and it was already late that Chu Yuan drove up from behind and packed up his things to start cooking.

What we are going to make today is stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon. The bamboo shoots were taken out by Chu Yuan from the space, and they are still covered with fresh soil.

In the eyes of others, the time she had just left was to go to the nearby bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, which was also an excuse for her disappearance.

As usual, Chu Yuan asked Xia Yu to take a piece of bacon to honor the official, and then he asked his aunt and her family to come over for dinner.

This piece of meat was the most satisfying one Chu Yuan had ever given them, because even if they gave it to them, they wouldn't be able to eat it.

Her medicine will soon take effect.

Chu Yuan also prepared an extra bowl of goat milk for her pregnant aunt. She made it using the goat milk powder in the space, which can provide most of the nutrients needed by the mother and fetus.

Just tell others that you bought it from a nearby farmer and no one will ask any more questions.

Chu Tingshu has almost gotten used to this kind of life where someone is taking care of her everywhere. Apart from having to walk a long distance every day, they have basically not suffered any other hardships.

My niece would prepare various nutritious meals for me every day. If I went to the city, I would find a way to arrange a comfortable living environment for them.

Although such life is good and she wants to live like this forever, one should not be too selfish.

They have already traveled one third of the way of exile, and no one knows what kind of difficulties and obstacles they will face in the future. They cannot use the shackles of family affection to tie a young girl and a group of prisoners together.

Chu Yuan noticed that his aunt was hesitant to speak and had a heavy expression on her face, so he took the initiative to speak: "Aunt, are you trying to drive me away again?"

"Yuan'er, you really should go back. The road ahead is difficult and unpredictable. I can't just watch you suffer with us."

"It is precisely because the road ahead is difficult and unpredictable that I want to continue walking with you, aunt. I lost my parents when I was born. You are the few relatives I have in this world. I can't let you go like this."

Afterwards, she stated her attitude firmly: "I will definitely go to Shu. If you don't let me follow you, I will go there secretly. Then, I might die on the way and no one will know."

Lu Haoyuan stood up anxiously: "Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? We will all live well."

Chu Yuan knew that he had said something wrong, so he smiled flatteringly: "I'm sorry, cousin, it was my fault. Please help me persuade my aunt. What will you do if I leave? What about the baby in my aunt's belly?"

Lu Haoyuan was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want his cousin, whom he had watched grow up, to be in danger. On the other hand, he knew clearly that without his cousin's care, the child in his mother's belly would be in danger.

In the end, reason prevailed: "Cousin, be obedient. Shu is really not a place you can go. There is no need to risk your life for our family."

The conversation could no longer go on at this point, as neither side was willing to give in.

Chu Yuan knew that these relatives refused her escort for her own good, so she had no way to be harsh with them. She could only silently stick to her bottom line and not give in.

Chu Yuan is confident that he will be the winner in the end of this confrontation.

Because her feet are on her body, if she insists on following, no one can stop her.

Fortunately, something happened on the officer's side, which attracted everyone's attention and allowed the conversation to end at the most appropriate time.

"You guys eat first, I'll go see what's happening over there." After saying that, Chu Yuan took Xia Yu away. If he went up at this time, he could still curry favor with the officials.

Don't forget, her maid knows "medical skills".

This place is so remote that there is no village or shop nearby. Even if these people don't believe it, there is no other way. Therefore, letting Xia Yu come forward to treat the disease is also part of Chu Yuan's plan.

Dozens of officers and soldiers were suffering from vomiting and diarrhea, and the most seriously ill among them had collapsed and fainted, showing signs of complete food poisoning.

While Chu Yuan was keeping a close eye on the situation of these people, she was also paying attention to the movements of the entire exile team. If anyone seized the opportunity to escape at this time, it would be her fault.

However, these people in the team were relatively obedient. Perhaps they knew that even if they could escape, they would be unable to take a single step without identity documents in this dynasty where imperial power was supreme.

And once caught, they will face punishment more severe than exile.

"My Lords, what's going on?"

"Go away. Can't you see I have a stomachache? I don't have time to deal with you."

Chu Yuan showed a concerned look: "My maid knows some basic medical skills, why not let her treat you? After all, stomach upset can be serious or minor. What if..."

"Since you know medical skills, why don't you go and check on those brothers who have fainted?" Now that they were asking for help, their attitude naturally became much better.

Xia Yu checked their pulses one by one, then took out the silver needle he carried with him and pierced the Neiguan acupoint of the fainted patient to wake him up.

"My Lord, according to my diagnosis, there is a toxin in your body. It should be caused by eating some food that carries toxins. However, I don't have any suitable herbs at hand. I can only go to the pharmacy to get some medicine after entering the city to remove the remaining toxins."
