Chapter 208 Weishui River
The third prince was lying in bed thinking about Zheng Sisi's past. If she was from that monogamous country, why did she come here now? Was she married in that country? Anyway, he was thinking about it all night...
The next morning, Zheng Sisi came back from her morning run, feeling relaxed.
When she saw a few people in the dining room, she exclaimed: "What happened? Didn't you guys sleep yesterday? The dark circles under your eyes are enough to make you a national treasure."
Several people glared at her angrily, thinking that it was all her fault.
Zheng Sisi was puzzled. It seemed like she didn't provoke them.
The third prince did not expect that Zheng Sisi's words would also affect them. That was good, because he was no longer so independent, otherwise he would be laughed at by them. He was still grateful for having a few companions.
The third prince said, "Let's have breakfast first."
Everyone took their seats one by one and ate the breakfast in front of them, trying to hide their lack of sleep.
Zheng Sisi asked: "Do you have any plans for today?"
The three little sisters all shook their heads. Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu also said no. The third prince said that he had nothing to do today.
Zheng Sisi asked for everyone's opinion: "Why don't we go to the Weishui River today to see what's going on there."
Hearing that they were going to look for that delicious ingredient, the others perked up again. Zhong Ruiyu was the first to revive: "Sure! I also want to see what the bug you mentioned looks like."
The Third Prince thought for a moment and said, "The Weishui River is more than 40 miles away from here. It will take an hour and a half to drive a carriage. I will arrange a carriage right away."
After finalizing the itinerary, the group quickly ate their meal and went back to their room to prepare things for the journey. The destination was not far away and they could be back in the evening, so there was no need to prepare things for the overnight stay or accommodation, so they set off quickly.
Zheng Sisi asked Uncle Ma and others to take good care of the fields and rice seeds, and she had nothing to worry about.
Along the way, two carriages and several guards set off on horseback with light luggage. Because there was not as much cargo as when they came, the journey was much faster.
Zheng Sisi suggested that when the carriage passed through the county town, they should go to the county government office to ask Magistrate Cao to borrow a yamen runner to lead the way. Having an acquaintance would make things easier when they reached the Weishui River.
The third prince asked Captain Liu to ride on horseback to the county government office to ask for the person from Cao County and then meet up there later so as not to waste time.
In the carriage, Zheng Sisi asked the three little sisters to sleep against the wall for a while. They were so excited that they couldn't sleep. Li Ziyan wanted to play fast running, and Zheng Sisi satisfied them. She played cards with them in the carriage and laughed and soon entered the Weishui River area.
Zheng Sisi let the three of them play, and she lifted the curtain to look outside.
Spring plowing has not started here yet, and the fields are full of tender green weeds. The villages in the distance are mostly thatched houses, with very few brick and tile houses. There are no large farms to be seen, so they should all have their own cultivated land.
The road was opened up in the middle of the field. A few hundred meters away from the road there was a big river, which was only about two hundred meters wide. The water flow was not fast and it looked very clear from a distance.
Zheng Sisi saw the mountains in the distance and thought that this place was really nice, with mountains and water, it was a good place to live.
The person borrowed by the county government was Captain Zhao, who took the people directly to a nearby village and found the village chief.
After getting off the car, Zheng Sisi did not go into the village, but went straight to the fields. She was very eager to know if they were talking about crayfish.
Seeing Zheng Sisi leaving, several people followed. They came to the edge of the field. Zheng Sisi picked up a small branch on the road, stood on the edge of the field, and slapped the wet grass a few times.
Several people were stunned when they saw Zheng Sisi's operation, wondering why she was hitting the bushes.
Just as they finished their thoughts, they saw a green insect crawling out from the grass. It had a shell all over its body, wrapping itself layer by layer. It had two large green and red pincers in front of it, and it was waving the two pincers as it attacked forward.
