"Can this really make ice?"

"That's right, this is too weird."

Liu Yaoyao was surrounded by the crowd. Hearing the words, he smiled and said nothing.

Chemistry is inherently strange, and it would be damned if it could make these ancient people think it was reasonable.

"Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious, it will be soon."

There were cicadas chirping everywhere, and the weather was so hot that it seemed like there was a fire, but these people seemed not to notice it, and they circled around the barrels in a spirited manner.

Liu Yaoyao leaned on the tree trunk and looked at their faces that were red from the heat, and said leisurely: "I really want to swim..."

Tang Jinzhen stood aside shaking her fan, feeling helpless when she saw her look like this.

"Come on, we'll reach the border in five days after passing Quanzhou."

Liu Yaoyao looked up at him: "Then why don't those people go?"

There was no order from the imperial court, and the officials in Quanzhou did nothing to exclude the victims.

According to what Tang Jinzhen meant, there was water at the border, but none of them went there. This seemed strange.

Tang Jinzhen stopped shaking her fan and her voice was hoarse:

"Because the border is dangerous, if the defenders cannot protect the border, it will be worse than dying in a disaster."

Liu Yaoyao was silent.

"But it's not absolute."

Tang Jinzhen suddenly closed her fan and pointed far away in the direction they came from:

"look."

Liu Yaoyao didn't know why, so she put up a pergola with her hands and squinted her eyes to look in the direction he pointed.

Under the scorching sun, amidst the billowing yellow dust, a group of people were rushing along the few shades of trees. Looking at the opposite direction, it looked like them.

Liu Yaoyao looked up at Tang Jinzhen, her peach blossom eyes sparkling with joy.

Tang Jinzhen was startled for a moment, and then she also smiled. After smiling, she waved her hand towards Ji Xiang:

"Let's go for a walk. If you're willing to follow, I'll take care of you."

It should be auspicious to put on a straw hat and run away.

Liu Yaoyao looked at Ji Xiang's back and thought of Tang Jinzhen's age again, twelve years old, while she was... eight years old!

Eight years old!!

Just when Liu Yaoyao's eyes were twitching, the crowd surrounding him suddenly burst into exclamations:

"It's freezing, it's really freezing."

"Binghua'er...it's cold."

Liu Yaoyao stood up and patted her butt, telling people to look for something:

"Go to the car and find me some mint leaves, sour fruits, and honey."

"I'll make some cold drinks, let's finish it and then go on our way..."

"Lead the horse this way!"

Tang Jinzhen looked at her men being ordered around, but she felt comfortable.

When they were on their way before, it wasn't so lively, nor was it so... interesting!

When Ji Xiang came over with the group of people, even the horses drank the cool water.

So, when the group of ragged victims came over, they saw people divided into two rows, sitting opposite each other, holding bowls of ice and eating ice.

"Oh my God! That's ice!"

"It's really ice!"

Liu Yaoyao squatted under the tree, which was also the place with the best perspective.

Seeing those people's eyes widening as big as cows and their throats rolling, they became increasingly afraid to step forward.

Satisfied, she drank the mint tea in the bowl in one gulp, waved her hand, and then stepped forward:

"Everyone has been working hard all the way. Our young master is kind and willing to give you some ice water."

The words were spoken, but the group of disaster victims were stunned.

"This... this is not good..."

After one person hesitated, someone else continued:

"Young Master is so kind. He is willing to take us on the road together. It is extremely kind and righteous. The ice water is really precious. I am ashamed to accept it."

The speaker was an old man about sixty or seventy years old, and he was protected by everyone.

Obviously, one either has status or seniority.

The ancients paid most attention to filial piety and etiquette, but in fact, these are often the first things to be abandoned when faced with disaster.

Tang Jinzhen's expression remained unchanged:

"Drink, you have to save your life first."

Liu Yaoyao blinked her peach blossom eyes and followed suit:

"That's right, that's right, we don't have bad intentions."

Human trafficking was rampant in this era, and Liu Yaoyao understood when she saw their eager and wary eyes.

In the end, those people didn't refuse anymore and accepted the offer with great gratitude.

Liu Yaoyao also heard crying and someone shouting that it was delicious.

Everyone rested for a while before continuing on their way.

It's just that this time, although the sun above our heads is still hot, it can't compare to people's enthusiasm.

Everyone walked in high spirits, and even their walking distance improved a lot.

Seeing that it would only take half a day to walk to the city tomorrow, everyone wanted to have a good rest tonight.

Liu Yaoyao was reciting the book while tying her apron, and started to act like a chef again.

Several of the followers over there also went up the mountain to collect ingredients.

The people who followed behind also carried buckets to find water and food.

In the past few days, the old man had been dealing with it, and the two of them got along well.

Among them, Liu Yaoyao is the best.

Who calls her a chef? Every time she cooks, she smells delicious.

In particular, the cooking techniques are completely different from those of steaming, boiling, and baking nowadays.

The key thing is that she is generous. During the chat, she casually revealed what they thought were the secret recipes.

They have been forced to leave their homes due to disasters and are always in need of food and livelihood.

Liu Yaoyao always helps whenever he can.

"Today we are stewing old duck with sour bamboo shoots. I will serve you some bamboo shoots and soup later. You can add whatever you like and cook it. It will be delicious."

"Thank you young master, I'm sorry to trouble you again."

The old man sitting on the ground not far away bowed his hands and thanked him.

At this time, his face looked much better than when we first saw him, and he was no longer in the state of being supported by someone who was sick and might die at any time.

"You're welcome, I just added more soup and some more bamboo shoots."

It was easy for Liu Yaoyao to say it, but the old man and his group would not take it for granted.

Every time they cook in a pot and collect food, they will give most of it to them, which they cannot refuse.

Liu Yaoyao and the old man looked at each other, and both smiled with white teeth.

Just as the stove fire crackled and the aroma of vegetables overflowed, the grass on the mountain that was taller than a person swayed slightly...

Tang Jinzhen was sitting on her little porridge waiting for the meal to be served when she heard a shout from Ruyi on the mountain:

"Master! Master! We are surrounded."

Tang Jinzhen stopped shaking her fan, her face turned dark, and the veins on her forehead popped out like a tic-tac-toe.

Liu Yaoyao held an iron spoon in her hand and hurriedly shouted to the victims:

"Hurry, hurry, there's something going on."

Although Ruyi's shout was abrupt and somewhat unceremonious, Liu Yaoyao believed that they would not joke about such a thing.

In fact, the reaction of the villagers was a little faster than Liu Yaoyao's.

He took the guy and surrounded the old and young in the middle, and then he moved closer.

Liu Yaoyao immediately took the big iron spoon and pulled Aunt Bai to hide behind Tang Jinzhen.

"Brother, what's going on? Aren't there a large army stationed at the border? How dare someone lay an ambush here?"

Yes, how dare you?

Tang Jinzhen closed her fan, and there was murderous intent lingering in the fox's eyes:

"The border is in the far south. This side of Beicheng is a border town, a state city on the border. As for why there are people here, I don't know."

The young man stood up from his stool and his whole demeanor changed!!
