The prostitute is poisonous: married to the disabled fourth prince after rebirth

Chapter 173 Fried Locust
"Get up quickly." Li Jing reached out to help the man, but the man hurriedly dodged.

"Fourth prince, the grass people are dirty."

The man stood up by himself and turned his head to look in the direction of his son and Cui Yuexi. As ordinary people, they were also willing to make a small contribution to their hometown.

Relying on his ability, he usually supports his family. Today, he saw people standing in the field holding torches and burning locusts. Inspired, he found the spirits at home and spit fire in the field.

Cui Yuexi returned to him and handed him two pancakes.

The man hastily refused, "You should save the fourth prince to eat. I heard that we don't have much food. The fourth prince came all the way with injuries. We are already very relieved. We thought we would be abandoned by the Tian family. Ignoring it, I never expected that the fourth prince, as a relative of the emperor, would travel thousands of miles to come to us."

As the man said, tears welled up in his eyes. The arrival of Li Jing gave everyone hope. They were not abandoned. Even though the emperor was far away, he still cared about them common people.

"Eat, the food support will arrive soon, not to mention, you will have the strength to reduce locusts when you are full."

Cui Yuexi threw the pancakes into the hands of the man, and the man handed a pancake to his son, choked up and ate it.

Li Jing looked at the burning torches under the dark night, a dark color flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Xing Chuan rushed over and whispered in Li Jing's ear.

"Master, Mr. Yunxin was intercepted and killed on the way to transport grain. He was lucky enough to save his life, but the grain was robbed."

An awe-inspiring murderous intent flashed in Li Jing's eyes, there would be someone who only thought about seizing the heir at such a time.

Ever since he came here, Li Jing suddenly realized that it doesn't matter if he can ascend to the throne or not.Looking at the simple faces of the people, even though the chances are slim, they are willing to stand in the field and burn the locusts, just wanting to save the remaining two days.

Li Jing was really shocked, and he wanted to protect these people so that they could tide over the difficulties as soon as possible.

"You personally take someone to meet Mr. Yun."

Li Jing confessed, Xing Chuan nodded in agreement, and was about to leave when Cui Yuexi hurriedly stopped him.

"Xingchuan, wait a moment."

Xing Chuan stopped in his tracks, and looked at Cui Yuexi in puzzlement. After Cui Yuexi gave the man another pancake, he stuffed the remaining three pancakes into Xing Chuan's hands.

Xing Chuan was surprised, and was about to shirk, but saw Li Jing nodded, and he took it with a sigh.

"Master, girl, take care of yourselves."

Xing Chuan told them worriedly, then turned and left, Li Jing's eyes were stained with sadness, they had no food.

Yunxin’s food was robbed by others, but Li Moqun’s escort had to wait for four or five days. What’s more, if they were robbed under certain circumstances, how would the people in Jiangbei survive this period of time? day.

Cui Yuexi saw his worry and smiled to comfort him.

"Don't worry, after tonight, all problems will be solved."

Cui Yuexi didn't want to explain in advance how worried Li Jing would be if she was poisoned, she had to bear everything by herself, and it was up to fate whether she lived or died.

If she is lucky, it just proves that locusts can be used as food, and the most common ones are locusts, so the people can naturally hold on for a while.

The man rested for a while, looked at the child worriedly, knelt on the ground and begged Cui Yuexi.

"Fourth prince, girl, my son is still young, and the night is heavy, please help me take care of him."

The child's mother was also burning locusts in the field, and there was no one to take care of the child. He was very worried and had to entrust the child to Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi fondled the child's thin cheeks and asked softly.

"Would you like to leave with me?"

The boy looked at the man hesitantly, and nodded after a moment of hesitation.

Cui Yuexi held the boy's hand, "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of him."

The man nodded reassuringly, and then walked towards the ground with big strides.

Cui Yuexi let the boy grab her sleeve, and then pushed Li Jing back to the mansion.

After the boy was settled, Cui Yuexi took care of Li Jing to sleep, and went back to the room to think about eating locusts.

Until now, she has no discomfort and has to admit that the fried locusts are really delicious.

Cui Yuexi felt a little hungry when she thought of the burnt aroma. She got up and drank a few glasses of water before going back to rest.

In the morning, before dawn, she heard the women in charge of cooking in the government office talking in the courtyard.

"My lord, we really have no food. The men burned in the field all night and are starving. What should we do now?"

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without food, she can't drink cold water to survive.

Li Jing followed closely, and at this moment, Cui Yuexi opened the door, walked up to the women, and whispered something in their ears, and the women looked at her suspiciously.

"Is that stuff really edible?"

Cui Yuexi looked at everyone's unbelievable expressions, and wished she could pat her chest to assure her.

"Don't worry, everyone. I tried it yesterday and there was no problem. On the contrary, I still feel very energetic today."

"Yesterday, I did see the girl eat that thing, and she ate a lot."

If someone proves it, people will naturally believe it.

The women left in a hurry, Li Jing looked at Cui Yuexi suspiciously.

"What did you tell them?" Cui Yuexi smiled mysteriously, "You will know when you eat, good and bad depend on each other, as long as you find the door, the problem will be solved."

Cui Yuexi asked Li Jing to go back to the room to rest, and she went to the kitchen. She only ate some salty food for the day, and she wondered if she could make some other flavors. The problem of locusts crawling on the ground and eating dealers has killed the locusts fundamentally.

Soon the women caught a lot of locusts, and even the people who burned the locusts last night also came back. Liu Yanbo took the people who hadn't eaten breakfast, and cast a human wall to continue burning the locusts.

The government officials quickly bought back a lot of oil, Cui Yuexi asked people to set up several large pots, arranged for people to heat up the oil, and then ordered people to pour the locusts they had picked up into the oil pot.

For a while, the oil pan was churning, Cui Yuexi watched the heat, and taught the women to fry locusts.

Soon the first pot was cooked, and after Cui Yuexi sprinkled the prepared ingredients, she grabbed a few locusts and put them in her mouth in front of everyone.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. I ate it yesterday. The locusts eat food, which is non-toxic. My sister-in-law saw me eating it yesterday. There is really no problem. Our food will not arrive until a few days later. To survive, and to give us the strength to destroy the locusts, we eat them."

Yesterday, the sister-in-law who saw Cui Yuexi eating locusts stood up, grabbed a handful and put them in her mouth.
