exile? She emptied the emperor's private treasury and escaped from famine

Everyone sat together and lit a fire to warm themselves up and boil water.

Fortunately, several families had prepared some dry firewood and a little water.

"The terrain is good, but what if we can't find water?"

Lin Hengzhi beat his old leg, a little worried, worried that he would not even be able to use firewood later.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from far and near.

Everyone looked up and saw a large carriage approaching them.

And Nan Zhihe immediately greeted him.

He directed the carriage to stop not far away, and the secret guard coachman, who was so dressed up that his original appearance could not be seen, threw away the reins and descended to the ground.

Nan Zhihe raised his hand and introduced: "This is the person we hired. Let him drive and look after our carriage during the journey."

The coachman nodded shyly to everyone.

"Oh."

Everyone raised their buttocks and ran over to take a look. They had not seen the carriage for a long time. This feeling of being within reach suddenly made them feel strange and excited.

Da Ma was touched by several hands, snorted, and a faint mist sprayed out into the air.

What was even more curious was that there were many neat wooden bars lying across the carriage, which were pulled aside by Nan Zhihe and the groom.

Lin Hengzhi couldn't help but wonder: "Zhihe, what are you doing?"

Nan Zhihe took out five wooden sticks and stretched them long. The secret guards caught them at the ends and threw them to the ground. Nan Zhihe smiled and said to them: "Yes, we specially prepared them. Everyone will live in tents tonight." !”

The tent is a wooden tent supported by four pillars, like a house frame, with a hollow-shaped "roof slope" built on the top of the wooden frame.

Live there? Or a tent?

Everyone was very surprised. Not only was the tent stable, it was like a small house, which made people feel at ease.

The Lin family and the Xia family looked at each other, and the sons and daughters immediately rolled up their sleeves and said, "Let's help!"

"Okay, let's all come together." Nan Zhihe's eyes encouraged.

Everyone gathered firewood with great enthusiasm and carried the wooden strips, tarpaulins, connecting copper pipes, etc. to the selected place, and soon began to build.

The carriage was in the air, and Wei Chuyu set off again to bring out the food and supplies for tonight.

Fish, chicken, pork, tripe, cornstarch, some mushrooms, sweet potato noodles, kelp and other types of dried vegetables, various seasonings and oils, as well as fresh seasonal vegetables such as winter melon and cabbage, etc...

She took them out one by one and stacked them into a hill. The women from Lin Xia's family who stayed behind to offer help were dumbfounded. They were still so arrogant!

"Sister-in-law, let's eat hot pot!"

Nan Zhize, a big foodie, and Nan Zhixue, a snack connoisseur, actively help her.

"Yeah." Wei Chuyu nodded.

Shen Cuihua's eyes were wide open. She came to carry the meat and smashed it with her mouth.

Mrs. Cheng's eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "You have prepared so many things!"

The Xia family brothers and sisters and Sun Qingman also came to help. The Lin family didn't know whether to help or not. After all, it was someone else's food, so they were a little hesitant.

If you add a little bit of effort, wouldn't it mean that if someone feels sorry for themselves, they'll share things?

Wei Chuyu turned to them and said: "Sisters-in-law and sisters, please help us, we will all have hot pot together later!"

The Nan family has already set up a tent to live in, so why are the Lin family so embarrassed?

Mrs. Lin, the eldest daughter-in-law, said: "Oh, thank you Chu Yu. Our family has food. It's rare for you to be reunited as a family. These good things should be used by your mother and your men to replenish their health."

Wei Chuyu pretended to be angry and said: "We are all our own people. Don't reject this or that. We won't help each other in the future?"

"Sisters from the Lin family, don't you want to associate with us?"

"Of course I am very willing to interact with you, but I can't let you suffer." Lin Hengzhi's wife, Mrs. Lin, said.

"Don't worry, I will ask you for help from time to time. If you don't eat, I won't be able to ask you for help in the future." Wei Chuyu said.

"That's right, we are close friends who have finally survived, so don't let us go outside!" Mrs. Cheng also said with a smile.

Seeing that Mrs. Nan's wife had said this, Mrs. Lin went to talk to her stubborn old man. The old man was helping to supervise the work there. He smiled and stroked his beard. After listening, he agreed.

So men and women worked separately, and the women were busy preparing dishes. There was plenty of water in the carriage, washing what needed to be washed, and foaming what needed to be foamed.

Shen Cuihua chopped meat and made meatballs while Wei Chuyu took out two large pots, prepared a slightly spicy soup, a mushroom soup, and made small oil dishes until they were almost done.

The house over there has also been built.

Two large tents are put together, with three sides fixed, and one side with movable cloth leaves that can be lifted up.

Uncle Cheng looked carefully at the fabric. It was made of several layers of thick cloth. The top layer was oilcloth, which was not only thick, but also waterproof from rain and snow.

He laughed with relief and said, "My nephew is still attentive, so I, the old uncle, can feel relieved."

The women of the Lin family who had arranged the food outside the house also went over to look at it, touch it, and exclaimed to the Nan family: "You have really prepared good things. You can't buy this outside, so you have to sew it yourself!"

Nan Zhihe said: "It was Chu Yu's idea. Let's stay here temporarily. We will build a house when the time is right. Once the house is built, don't worry."

"Okay." Everyone came in and out to feel how warm and windproof the house was. It was really different, and they all showed smiles that they had rarely seen along the way.

The men were shocked when they saw the feast tonight!

Especially Lin Hengzhi, his eyes widened and he said, "How did I know that a meal was so rich? I'm so embarrassed."

Everyone laughed, Nan Zhize invited him to sit down, and Mrs. Cheng asked everyone to sit down.

When we started eating, those who had never tasted it thought it was just stewed in a big pot, until they took a bite of the tripe, meatballs or mushrooms they had put in.

That smell, oh my god, oh my goodness!

Each one held the sesame oil in their teeth and slid down their esophagus. They ate the most sumptuous delicacies in the bleakest winter. At this moment, the long-lost happiness overflowed, and some even had tears in their eyes.

"Nan family, you are so lucky to have such an outstanding daughter-in-law as Chu Yu, who is a perfect match for your He'er and will never leave her."

Mrs. Lin praised her with a kind face. She looked very thin now, which was far different from the wife of Mr. Lin in the past.

The shriveled black hands were holding a wooden bowl of mushroom soup on the table. The warm soup filled her stomach, and the taste was just to her taste.

The Nan family members didn't show any emotion after hearing this, but they were very happy in their hearts.

Hearing what the old lady of the Lin family said, Wei Chuyu showed some humility: "Old lady, your daughters-in-law will never leave you. They can do what I, Chu Yu, can't do. We can learn from each other in the future."

"Mrs. Nan, we can't fight with bandits. Is it so difficult for Ms. Nan to admit that you are excellent?"

After Mrs. Lin finished speaking seriously, she held the hot soup to warm her hands and blew on it.

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
