Chapter 33 You have corrupted the children

"One, two, three, four, five!" Su Ying dug out five ginseng roots, the shortest of which was fifty years old.

Su Ying put the ginseng away with a smile, then wrapped the python around herself and went down the mountain.

On the way, the disaster victims who went into the mountains to look for food were frightened by the giant python on Su Ying's body and hid far away.

Xiao Jin looked at the porridge boiling in the pot, wondering why Su Ying hadn't come back yet.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from behind.

Xiao Jin's expression frightened, and when he turned around, he saw Su Ying, whose body was entangled by a python with only her head exposed, walking towards him with great vigor.

When the two treasures saw such a huge python, they were so scared that they hid in Xiao Jin's arms.

Su Ying didn't realize how scary her appearance was. She walked up to He Shouyi excitedly and said, "Uncle He, can you see if this thing is edible?"

He Shouyi was frightened. If he hadn't looked carefully, he would have thought that Su Ying was entangled by a python.

"You..." You always give people different degrees of...scare.

Su Ying untied the python from her body and threw it on the ground. She looked more relaxed than throwing a piece of rag.

“Yes, you can eat it.”

Su Ying was delighted when she heard this. She had meat to eat again. "Tell me what to do with it. I'll clean it up now."

"Just clean out the belly and remove the snake skin. Let me do it."

"Okay." Su Ying handed the dagger to He Shouyi and went back to the pot. She smelled the aroma of the meat in the pot and felt extremely hungry.

"Mom, that big snake is so scary." Erbao said softly while curled up in Xiao Jin's arms.

Su Ying almost forgot that the thing could easily scare a child. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I can crush it to death with one hand. I'll ask Grandpa He to cook it for Ling'er later, okay?"

Erbao was still a little scared, but nodded obediently.

"Have you all eaten yet?"

Erbao shook his head and said, "We are waiting for A Niang to come back."

Su Ying saw that the pot of porridge was still full and indeed had not been touched.

She looked up at Xiao Jin and said, "If you are hungry, just eat first. Why are you waiting for me? What if I don't come back, will you not eat?"

Xiao Jin's dark eyes darkened, "If you don't come back, where are you going?"

"Mother, don't you want Ling'er anymore?" Erbao stood up from Xiao Jin's arms and walked to Su Ying with a wronged look on his face.

Su Ying choked, looked at the father and his two sons, and raised her eyebrows, "I just said that, I'm just worried that you will be hungry."

Bai Shuang brought a broken bowl over to serve the porridge, "Madam, please eat first."

Su Ying was really hungry. She originally wanted to look for pheasants, rabbits or something, but she was worried that they were not safe at the foot of the mountain, so she hurried back without stopping.

Jiang Yang and He Shouyi carried the giant python to a nearby water source for disposal. When they came back, both of them had a large bag of cut snake meat on them.

"Girl, this snake meat can be kept for several days if we dry it. What do you think?"

"Uncle, you can make the decision on your own. You don't need to ask me."

Seeing how confident she was in him, He Shouyi felt strangely warm in his heart, "Okay, I'll dry them all in a moment."

Erbao leaned against Su Ying obediently, holding the small bowl in his two little hands and eating with big mouthfuls. Not to mention, the way he ate was somewhat similar to Su Ying.

"Mother, Daddy just said he wants your kiss too."

puff!

Su Ying almost spit out a mouthful of porridge.

After hearing this, Dabao puffed up his little face and said stubbornly: "Daddy wants it, I don't want it!"

Xiao Jin: “…”

Su Ying swallowed the porridge in her mouth, raised her head and glared at Xiao Jin, "How many times have I told you to stop thinking about the dirty stuff? Look at the children, you have corrupted them!"

The veins on Xiao Jin's forehead twitched. He was annoyed, but he couldn't blame the two children. He felt so aggrieved!

"There's a convoy. Look, there's a convoy coming over there."

"There are so many carriages, there must be food on them, we won't starve to death!"

Someone suddenly spoke from not far away.

Not far down the mountain, a team was slowly walking towards them.

The line was very long, with at least a dozen carriages.

There were guards with swords guarding the carriage, but even so, the hungry prisoners and victims stared in amazement.

Soon, the team got closer and closer, and more and more people looked straight at them.

The people guarding the convoy seemed to have sensed the danger as well. They drew their swords from their waists and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, a prisoner suddenly shouted, "Listen to me, those who don't want to go to the Northern Wilderness and wait for death. There must be food on this car. We will grab the food and run away. I don't believe they can catch us."

When the officials' dry food was robbed, some wanted to run away, but because they had no food, they did not dare to act rashly. Now if they could steal the food, would they still be able to run away?

Gradually, more and more prisoners showed unusual behavior.

The disaster victims at the foot of the mountain were also staring at the convoy. If they had more people, it would not be impossible for them to rush over together.

"You want to die, and you want to escape? I'll beat you to death!" An officer raised a whip and went forward to hit the prisoners.

Unexpectedly, this whipping completely enraged the hesitant prisoner.

"If you don't want to die, then do it!" The prisoner stood up and knocked the officer to the ground, picked up a branch and rushed towards the convoy.

When the others saw someone in front, they immediately followed.

The prisoners and the victims rushed forward like crazy, fighting with the guards desperately.

Those guards were good at martial arts, but there were too many prisoners and victims, and they couldn't stop them at all.

Soon, the things in the car were turned over, and it was really food!

Su Ying looked at those crazy people with a frown on her face.

Li Da watched as almost all the prisoners rushed over. He was so angry that he stamped his feet. He had no choice but to find Su Ying.

"Princess Qi, many of those prisoners are vicious and evil. If we let them escape, who knows how many people will be harmed. You have to help me."

Su Ying swallowed the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl and said expressionlessly: "I didn't follow them to rob, which was already giving you face. Why do you want me to stop them? If I help you, can you let my family return to Beijing and live a good life again?"

Li Da was choked, and he was desperate to try any possible means.

"If they don't go and steal the food, they will be starving and will eat you." It would be fine if she was alone, but now she has old and young to take care of, she won't be stupid enough to do something that has no benefit to her at all.

Li Da was shocked, his eyes widened in astonishment, "You are right."

For now, he could only report the matter to the court. The situation had developed to this point and was no longer under his control. No one could have expected a sudden flood.
