Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 560
Li Bei rushed over and said loudly: "Princess, the army and horses have changed suddenly, and there is a fear of natural disasters. Will the convoy stop?"

Li Jingjing said decisively: "Yes." Before the words finished, the carriage shook violently, the small cabinet full of food in the corner fell down, and shouted: "Earthquake!"

Li Huan and Li Xi tightly hugged Li Jingjing and Wang Yanyu who didn't know what the earthquake was.

The ground outside the carriage shook, the rocks on the mountain rolled down one after another, and the official road cracked a gap that was one foot wide and several feet deep.

The entire convoy stopped, waiting for the earthquake to stop, and everyone got out of the carriage pale in panic.

"Mrs. Jiang, your head is bleeding."

"Mrs. He, what happened to your feet?"

The family members of more than a dozen officers were slightly injured when the carriage shook violently just now, and they were terrified. Miaoshui, Zifeng and two female doctors rushed to bandage their wounds.

Li Jingjing shouted loudly: "It was Dilong turning over just now, everyone should not be afraid. This is the official road, open and flat, without buildings, everyone stand still." She cursed inwardly when she first arrived in Longdi, God gave her A dismount.

Wang Yanyu's heart was pounding with fright, seeing Li Jingjing's calm expression, she asked, "Ms. Jing, aren't you afraid?"

Li Jingjing shook Wang Yanyu's little hand, and said: "This time the Earth Dragon's turnaround is definitely not small, but our location is definitely not in the center of the Earth Dragon. As long as we don't stand next to tall buildings, we will be fine."

Wang Yanyu asked curiously: "How do you know so much?"

Li Jingjing said: "I read it from the book. I guess the center of the earth dragon is either Tianshui or Dingxi."

She remembered that there were earthquakes in Tianshui and Dingxi in her previous life, especially Tianshui, which had a magnitude 8 earthquake during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. The city was destroyed and houses collapsed, killing more than 3 soldiers and civilians.

Wang Yanyu shouted: "If it really happened in these two cities, then we are really lucky."

Li Jingjing ordered to leave early this morning, the convoy traveled for three hours, and it was two hundred miles away from Tianshui City Mansion, where it happened to be the junction of Tianshui and Dingxi.

Next, she ordered the convoy to camp in the vast fields on both sides of the official road, sent her own soldiers to investigate the official road ahead, and asked the sergeants of the Tiger Ben Army to quickly repair the carriage.

All the female family members waited in shock for the news, and several female family members were so frightened that they returned to Chang'an.

"Longdi is poor, not to mention that there are still earth dragons, how will we live in the future?"

"This is still part of the Tianshui City Mansion. Tianshui is the richest in Longdi. Yesterday I saw that the Tianshui City Mansion is depressed and old. It is ten times worse than Chang'an. I heard that Jincheng is not even as good as Tianshui."

"I am not afraid of poverty, but I am afraid of natural disasters. As the saying goes, natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be avoided. In Longdi, apart from the drought, there are also earth dragons, which make people unable to live."

Li Jingjing's hearing is better than that of ordinary people. After hearing all these words, she said loudly: "Longdi has raised millions of people for thousands of years. They can survive without money. We all have money in our hands. Why can't it?"

Wang Yanyu was eating pancakes bought early in the morning from the restaurant in Tianshui City Mansion, she turned her head to look at the family members, saw some of them looked strange, and stood up.

Li Jingjing stretched out her hand to pull Wang Yanyu, but she still couldn't stop her from getting angry.

Wang Yanyu said coldly: "If you don't want to go to Jincheng, say it earlier. Now that the motorcade is on the way, if you say such things, are you trying to confuse people or demolish the princess!"

Taking advantage of the large number of people, a family member said loudly: "If I knew that there would be an earth dragon in Longdi, I wouldn't come if I killed it."

"Who in the world can predict when and where the earth dragon will appear?" Wang Yanyu held half a pancake in his right hand and put his left hand on his hip and shouted: "Not only you have experienced the earth dragon turning over today, but also someone with such a noble status as a princess Have you experienced it?"

Li Jingjing got up and looked around at all the female relatives, and said: "Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately. This is an ugly saying, but it is an old saying. If someone does not want to live in Jincheng with her husband, they all report their names. When the time comes Dingxi Post Station, I will send my soldiers to escort you back to Chang'an."

Wang Yanyu sneered a few times, and said: "Everyone has come here, and returning to Chang'an to annoy my husband, what a fool!"

Mrs. Ma said in a moderate voice: "No one forced you to come with a knife on your neck. The princess kindly provided a carriage, board and lodging to take you. Now that you are going back to Chang'an on the way, you should pay for it yourself." Spend money and go back!"

Li Bei's wife, Qu Yu, sat in the middle of the family and said slowly: "The officers of the Tiger Ben army, apart from the salary given by the court, and the silver rewards given by the prince and princess, their annual income is quite a lot. There are many good women in Jincheng." went."

"I went to Jincheng to protect my husband and prevent him from marrying a common wife and taking concubines. I will not go back to Chang'an."

"My husband is in his prime. It's fine if he doesn't see women on the northern grassland battlefield, but Jincheng is a city, and there are many women. If I'm not by his side, he won't be able to guard himself."

"Princess, I have no intention of going back to Chang'an."

"A person as delicate as the princess can go to Jincheng to accompany King Yan. I can go to Jincheng to accompany my husband."

All the female family members expressed their opinions one after another, and those who were shaken before were silent.

Li Jingjing looked up, the blue sky seemed to be closer to the ground than in Chang'an.

She recalled that the mountain was getting higher and higher along the way, and the green on the mountain was getting less and less. When she arrived here, there were no trees on both sides of the official road, the ground under her feet was sand and gravel, and the mountain was full of big stones.

Seventy percent of the people in the Ding Dynasty lived in the countryside, and farmers could only live by farming and growing vegetables.The land in Longdi is sparse and dry, and the people in the villages are naturally very poor.

"Jingniang, try the Gangu Crispy Donuts. I asked my servants to buy them from the most famous and time-honored restaurant in Tianshui City Mansion early in the morning." Wang Yanyu broke the pancake in his hand into two and handed half to Li Jingjing .

Li Jingjing glanced at the pancake shaped like a bagel in her previous life, took a bite, nodded and said, "This kind of pancake will definitely taste better when it's just out of the pan."

Wang Yanyu smiled and said, "I also bought a lard box."

The main ingredient of Tianshui lard box is fine flour, and the auxiliary ingredients include hog suet, green onion pistil, sesame oil, refined salt, etc.The locals call it palace dim sum. (Excerpt from Baidu)

From Chang'an to Tianshui, passing by more than a dozen city and county towns along the way, Wang Yanyu would send his servants to buy local famous food every time he went to a place.

Li Jingjing was less worried by the smile of her best friend, and asked: "Will the box made of lard get tired if eaten cold?"

Wang Yanyu thought about it too, and said: "You wait, I'll ask someone to fetch it and warm it up for the two of us to eat."

After eating the pancakes, Li Jingjing felt thirsty. She took the water bag Li Huan handed over and drank the warm water in it. Remembering that there was a small river not far away, she ordered the Tiger Ben Army to bury the pots and stoves here.
