The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 495 Being Stopped (2)
While Mu Jinhua was boiling the water, Mu Jinxi took the opportunity to look at the bad environment she was in now. There was a bamboo forest all around, covered with tall and slender bamboos, and there were some tall trees irregularly in the bamboo forest. It is one of them, the ground is covered with withered and yellowed grass, and there is a sporadic wild flower stubbornly resisting the increasingly cold weather. In the middle of the bamboo forest is a yellow-brown road, the size of which can accommodate two ordinary carriages. They passed by at the same time, and now their carriage is parked on the side.

While Hibiscus was boiling the water, two carriages drove over from the other side, and finally stopped slowly, leaning against their carriages.

Mu Jinxi just took a glance and then looked away. She has very little curiosity and never cares about things that have nothing to do with her, not to mention that she is not feeling well now.

Qiu Ju also took a look, only to see a few men and women coming down from the carriage, some young, some old, dressed and dressed, one could tell that they belonged to wealthy families, and their carriages were much more luxurious than theirs.Qiu Ju took a look and looked away, seeing Xiaoxi leaning against the tree trunk with her eyes closed, she lifted up the blanket covering her body, then stood up and walked towards Mu Jinhua.

Mu Jinxi concentrated on boiling the water, wondering if she should cook some porridge or a bowl of noodles for Xiaoxi to eat. She didn't eat anything in the morning. The environment here is good. Now that it's stopped, it's better to cook something casually Let's eat, I don't know if I can find a place to live at night.

After discussing with Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju also felt that it made sense. She turned and walked to their other carriage, and took out some rice and vegetables from the farmhouse where they stayed the day before yesterday. Less, but still edible.

Qiu Ju ran back to Mu Jinhua with the rice and vegetables. Mu Jinhua told her to watch the fire. He took the rice and vegetables and went around to see if there was any water to wash them in.After talking to her sister, Mu Jinhua took rice and vegetables to find a water source.

Qiu Ju looked at the fire, waiting for the water to boil before serving it to Xiao Xi.

Mu Jinhua found the water source smoothly, and soon brought back the washed rice and vegetables. After the water boiled, he poured out the water and put the water in again, and then put the rice in.When the rice was boiled, he put the vegetables in when it was almost ready, then added a little oil and salt, stirred it, and a faint fragrance wafted away.

During this period of time, Mu Jinhua's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds, so now he is very confident in his cooking skills, and feels that his sister will definitely have the appetite to drink a bowl of porridge.

Just when Mu Jinhua was about to use a small bowl of leftovers, a gentle male voice came from behind: "Brother, can you give us a bowl of vegetable porridge? Or we are willing to buy it with money."

Mu Jinhua looked back, and there was a man wearing a white brocade robe and a white cloak, with a gentle and elegant demeanor. The man nodded slightly when he saw him turning around, with a decent smile on his lips, his brows were handsome, his gaze Clear, people can't help but feel good.

"I'm sorry, Sister She is not feeling well. I made this specially for her. I just hope that she will feel better after drinking it, and we only have this little rice left, so..." Mu Jinhua did not act as a good person this time. , politely refused.

The man was startled, obviously he didn't expect that he would be rejected, he followed his gaze, and he saw a haggard looking woman sitting on the other side looking at the tree trunk, her eyes were weakly closed, she was wearing a padded jacket, Covered with a blanket, it does appear to be sick.
