Chapter 26: Rations, even dogs won’t eat them!
"It's harder than rock. I can't bite it at all."

"That's right, even dogs won't eat this kind of thing."

"Ouch my tooth, it hurts so much."

"I don't want to eat anymore..."

The exiles also had fixed rations, which were distributed by the escorts, two meals a day, each of which contained a steamed corn bread the size of a fist and harder than stone. When the people, who had been living in luxury all year round, saw this, they all looked disgusted. Some people even threw the food away directly. They had not really suffered, and they also had gifts from relatives and friends, so how could they possibly look down on something like a steamed corn bread?

The escorts did not scold upon seeing this, but there was naked ridicule in everyone's eyes. This was not the first time they escorted exiles and they had seen this kind of scene countless times. It would not be long before they knew how precious steamed corn bread was!
"Mom, have some buns."

Shen Xiangwan did not eat the steamed corn bread, but gave everyone two white and tender meat buns. However, she did not throw away the steamed corn bread, but stuffed them all into her bag.

"Ah."

After walking for such a long time, they were already tired and hungry. Zhao Yuping, her mother and her two sons took the buns and started eating. The little cub, who had just finished drinking his milk, sat obediently by the side, holding the bun in both hands and nibbling on it in small bites.

"Mom, take your time eating. I'll go get some water."

After finishing his bun in a few bites, Shen Xiangwan untied the ropes that bound his feet and picked up a few empty water bags. There was a clear river not far away, and the escorts were replenishing their water there.

"Hey, slow down."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuping hurriedly stopped and reminded her that nothing could happen to her. From the moment their house was suddenly confiscated to now, if she hadn't stepped up to take charge of the situation, they wouldn't know what would have happened. "Got it."

Responding with her back to them, Shen Xiangwan walked quickly towards the river, but she did not fill the water bag with river water. Instead, she quietly poured the spiritual well water that had been boiled and cooled in her space into the water bag. There was a spiritual well in her space. Drinking it directly had the effects of detoxifying, beautifying, cleansing the meridians and marrow. Drinking it after boiling it also had the effects of strengthening the body, relieving fatigue, and prolonging life.

Although this body was born with supernatural strength and was used to doing farm work, walking for a long time while carrying a child was somewhat difficult, not to mention that Zhao Yuping and the others were all delicate and fragile. Boiling and cooling the spiritual well water was undoubtedly the most suitable for their current condition.

"Mom, are you choking too much?"

At the Shen family, Shen Xiangyue retracted her gaze and gently asked her mother who was eating buns. Without waiting for her response, she lowered her eyes and said to herself, "It's a pity that we only have two water bags. If we had more, mother, you wouldn't have to eat so uncomfortably."

"Yue'er is still considerate."

Jiang felt comforted when she heard this, and patted her hands and said, "When we pass through the town, let's ask the escort to help buy a few more water bags."

Their house was ransacked and they were exiled so suddenly that before they could recover from the shock of the theft, the Imperial Guards rushed into the mansion, giving them no chance to react. The property they had now was sent by her and her daughters-in-law's families. There was a lot of money, more than two thousand taels in total, but there were too few other things, especially the water bags, of which there were only two, and each of them drank them in two gulps.

In order to save money and reduce consumption, their concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters did not have a sip of water to drink, and they only ate the steamed buns they got from the escort.
