Chapter 58 Fried chestnuts

Jin Yan took her to find clean sand and explained to her, "Of course you can't just get some sand to fry chestnuts. We need to find the ones with larger particles, so the fried texture will be better. You can wait a moment."

You’ll know once you try it.”

She looked around, her eyes flashing wildly with information about the things around her, and she quickly found what she was looking for.

After I went back, I took out the pot again and searched in my mind how to fry chestnuts.

During this period, Jin Jiaojiao was not idle either. She took a small basket and a hoe and went around looking for things.

Jin Yan gathered around the pot, frying the sand first, and then poured the chestnuts in. It was best to score each chestnut, so that it would be easier to ripen and peel when eating.

It doesn’t take long to fry the chestnuts, it will be ready in about twenty minutes, and the seven or eight kilograms of chestnuts will have a smooth color after frying.

She peeled one off and tasted it, "Well, it's small but it tastes pretty good."

After finishing this, the last beggar chicken in the fire was ready. She looked around and called Jin Jiaojiao, who was not far away, to come back for dinner.

"What did you dig up when you ran out just now?"

Jin Jiaojiao pulled the basket over, "There is nothing on the mountain, and I don't recognize many of them, so I picked up some chestnuts."

Jin Yan took a look and found that he had picked up half the basket again.

"Just keep these chestnuts for us to cook later. You can try my fried chestnuts."

Jin Jiaojiao took one at random, peeled it open and put it in his mouth, "Wow, this chestnut is so delicious!"

Jin Yan suddenly smiled. It was just stir-fried with sand. How delicious could it be without adding anything?

It would be nice if there was sugar. Sugar-fried chestnuts are even more delicious than this.

The two of them ate something casually and then went up the mountain to look for something. The hills nearby were small, and they could climb to the top in two steps.

There was really very little food to eat. The only edible thing in the mountains and plains was the chestnut just now.

But Jin Yan did not lose heart, and took Jin Jiaojiao along the way to identify plants, and also taught her some more specific knowledge.

During this period of time together, she could see Jin Jiaoyao's intelligence.

Maybe it was because she was not very lucky since she was a child. She was only seven years old and illiterate, but her curiosity about the outside world was unprecedented, which made this child learn things very quickly.

While she was teaching her, she also subtly told her what plants could cure what diseases.

Little by little, Jin Jiaojiao's little mind memorized these things silently.

When the two climbed to the top of the mountain, the sky was completely dark. There were only chestnuts picked up on the road in the basket, and today's harvest was only chestnuts.

"It seems like there's nothing to eat here. Let's go back."

"Um."

Jin Yan turned around and walked down the mountain, looking at the condition of the land as he walked.

Wherever there is a water source, the land will be a little moist, but the land near here is extremely dry and does not look like there is water.

She felt a little disappointed. She didn't have this sense of urgency in the days after coming out of the mountain stream. She felt that with so much water in the car, she could always make it to the next water source.

But who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the degree of drought was really too great, and people within hundreds of miles around had no water to drink.

As she was thinking about it, suddenly there was a sound of swords and guns being scraped from a distance. She quickly looked over and listened carefully.

"You untouchables, how dare you rebel!"

An army happened to be attacked from all sides. There were many people in this army, there were dozens of soldiers, and there were hundreds of prisoners under escort.

In this crisis, it was the prisoners being escorted who rioted.

Jin Yan was far away so she wasn't afraid of being affected, but she didn't dare to let Jin Jiaojiao stay here, so he immediately asked her to go back to the carriage while he went to see the situation.

This team must not be the one escorting Jin Jiaojiao.

"We are not prisoners, why are you holding us captive?"

"That's right, it's inevitable for us to flee everywhere. Why do you arrest us? Where are you going to take us!"

Voices of indignation arose from the crowd. It turned out that these people were all arrested when they were fleeing. This army did not know their background and was about to take them away if they disagreed.

They were all hungry and about to die. How could they possibly stand up to these soldiers on horseback? They had no choice but to follow them.

But they didn't commit any crime, so why should they be detained like this!

The soldiers immediately became angry and showed no humanity at all. They directly drew their swords and said, "Since you are unwilling to obey me, we will have to execute you on the spot!"

The next second, these people drew their swords and charged at the people, scaring the crowd into running around.

She frowned as she looked at it. What kind of army was this? It was so arrogant.

These are all ordinary people, and they will be killed at will?

She hid in the woods nearby, and heard the sound of fighting all over her ears.

In an instant, the people present were running and fighting. Many people were chopped down by the soldiers, and there was blood everywhere.

There were cries all over the mountains and plains, which sounded extremely harsh.

She couldn't bear it, she frowned, took out two daggers and rushed forward!

What she did was indeed a bit nosy, but so many innocent people were killed at their whim, so there was no justice.

The common people in the crowd were still running at first, but they couldn't outrun these well-fed and drunk soldiers, and they were caught up soon.

A woman was running around with her child. Suddenly, the child in her hand was pulled back. She quickly turned around and saw that her child had been picked up and was about to be stabbed to death.

She was so frightened that she shouted, "No! Please don't kill my son!"

But the man didn't listen at all, and stabbed him with the big knife.

"Chi!"

When the woman saw the red knife, her eyes widened in fear, she covered her mouth and shouted, "Ah!"

Jin Yan put her right hand on the man's neck and snatched the child back with her left hand. She raised her foot and kicked the man out.

"Hey, stop barking and see if this is your son."

The woman immediately came to her senses, took the child and looked around, "Thank you so much, Heroine, for saving me!"

Jin Yan's right hand was a little stiff. No one could see her trembling arm in the dark night, "You should take the child and leave."

After saying that, she ran to rescue other people. She didn't dare to kill anyone. She just used a short knife to restrain the people, and then used all her strength to tap their acupuncture points, leaving them numb for a while.

But there are quite a lot of these people, and it's not enough to just look at her alone.

Jin Yan fought all the way up and saved many people. Those who were saved hurriedly fled around.

She looked at the increasingly empty road, retracted her hand and was about to leave, when suddenly a sharp sword shot over from a distance!

A cold feeling ran down her back, and she jumped away quickly. When she turned around, she saw that it was the leader of the army.

Maybe he discovered her a long time ago, so he has been targeting her now.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three shots with one arrow!

Jin Yan's nerves were shattered. She was running around in all directions. She jumped onto a cart. Her eyes flickered from here and there and she suddenly focused on the person lying on the cart.

At that moment, it seemed as if something rushed out of her mind!
