Zhu Xixi frowned and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.
So, he simply gave up thinking and swam desperately toward the hidden door.
After arriving at the area with the hidden door, her chubby little face was full of curiosity as she swam around in the vast white open space.
Strange? Why can't Zhu Yanyan be found?
She stared blankly at the vast white open space in front of her, pouting and angrily putting her hands on her hips.
"come out."
Under her coercion and enticement, the hidden door slowly rose, revealing a row of large doors neatly arranged before her.
The appearance of the gate made her very happy. She excitedly swam around in mid-air and excitedly arrived at one of the gates.
She wanted to check on her family through the gate, to see if her grandmother had found the supplies in the woods.
As she pushed open the door, a cool breeze entered the space, causing her to shiver. She poked her little head out and swayed it from side to side.
Just as she was trying to find her family, a small figure lay in the grass, which appeared to be a child.
He was about seven years old, dressed in a brocade robe and boots, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist, on which was engraved the character "Pei".
Upon seeing the surname on the jade pendant, she excitedly waved her little hand, immediately closed the door, and spun around in front of it.
This person is Pei Sining. The book describes how Pei Sining was unexpectedly captured by the raiders, who wanted to coerce him into entering Jiangyang City.
The creation of Jiangyang City was a ruse by Liang Kingdom's agents to launch a surprise attack. However, Pei Sining escaped from the attackers and was eventually rescued by Zhu Yanyan.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly used all her strength to swim out of the space.
At this moment, Liu was carefully bending down to pick wild grass from the ground. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt that her daughter in her arms seemed to have woken up.
Zhu Xixi woke up from her deep sleep and excitedly waved her little hands, blowing bubbles as she did so.
[Mother, save him! Quickly save him! Quickly save the benefactor!]
He will help us reach the border safely; hurry and rescue him.
[We can't let Zhu Yanyan steal him away! Go save the male lead!]
Ms. Liu listened to her daughter's rambling with confusion, not understanding a single word.
Although she didn't understand, she still looked in the direction her daughter's little finger was pointing.
Then, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and holding a torch, he carefully walked towards the bushes.
When Sun saw Liu walking towards the bushes, she quickly followed, saying, "Sister-in-law, the bushes are dangerous. I'll go with you."
[Quick, Mother, quick! Ask him where the Turks are!]
He must know where the enemy troops disguised as bandits are!
[If we can get this out of them, we're saved!]
Zhu Xixi was worried that Liu Shi wouldn't understand what she meant, so she anxiously kicked her little feet.
After hearing the crucial information, Liu decisively pulled Sun into the bushes.
Sun followed Liu in, looking bewildered and staggering inside.
"Sister-in-law, slow down."
"It won't be slow, I feel there's Ganoderma lucidum inside."
Liu didn't know how to explain the situation to Sun, so she could only use herbs to cover up her strange behavior.
"Really? Then we need to hurry, this thing is not good." Sun did not doubt Liu's words and quickened her pace to walk ahead.
"We're here, Mother! We're here!"
It's right here!
Upon hearing this, Liu paused, looked down, and indeed saw a person lying in the grass, but it was only a child of seven or eight years old.
[Mother, he is the son of the Prince of Ningyang!]
He can be saved; he's not an ordinary child!
Having confirmed that the child in front of her was no ordinary person, Liu Shi no longer hesitated and quickly waved to Sun Shi.
"Jiayan, there's a child here, come quick!"
Sun had already walked deep into the bushes, but turned back after hearing Liu's voice.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Come quick, there's a child here."
Liu pushed aside the towering weeds and came to Pei Sining's side, picked him up and felt his pulse on his neck with her fingers.
"Still alive."
Hearing the commotion, Madam Sun rushed over and knelt down beside Pei Sining to examine his injuries.
"He seems to have fainted."
"Take it back?"
Liu wanted to put Pei Sining in a bamboo basket and carry him away from the bushes, but Sun stopped her just as she was about to pick him up.
"Sister-in-law, no, we are prisoners and cannot take him with us. His injuries are not serious and he should wake up soon."
Sun took a water jug out of the bamboo basket and placed it next to Pei Sining, then pulled up the surrounding weeds to cover him up.
Liu watched anxiously as her sister-in-law busied herself, unsure how to persuade her to let the child go back.
Seeing that Sun was about to finish all the work, she hurriedly pulled her sister-in-law aside and whispered something.
"Jiayan, I'm worried that if we don't make arrangements for this child to stay here at night, what if he encounters wolves or wild boars? He might die."
"Take him back and look after him for the night, then let him leave tomorrow. After all, he's just a child, and the guards won't make things difficult for us."
Sun didn't want to get involved in this trouble, but seeing how eager Liu was to take the person away, she could only sigh and nod.
"Alright! Let's take him back and take care of him for the night."
"Good!" Upon hearing that Sun had agreed, Liu nodded excitedly and tried to squat down to pick him up, but Sun stopped her again.
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute, you're still carrying Xixi on your back, let me do it."
After pulling Liu aside, Sun picked up Pei Sining and gently placed her in the bamboo basket, then squatted down in front of the basket and carried her on her back.
Seeing this, Liu hurriedly stepped forward, dragging her bamboo basket, and followed beside Sun.
She walked along, searching for Zhu Haotian and Zhu Chenfeng. When she saw the two of them not far away, she quickly waved.
"Second brother, third brother, come and help me out."
Zhu Haotian and Zhu Chenfeng had entered the bushes to search for the two women, and they jogged over following their voices.
"Sister-in-law, Jiayan, what happened?"
Seeing Sun Shi panting and bent over, Zhu Haotian hurriedly stepped forward and put her bamboo basket on the ground.
Zhu Chenfeng gently rubbed her shoulder with concern and asked softly, "What's in the bamboo basket?"
"I'm sorry, second son, it was my fault for bringing her out." Seeing Zhu Chenfeng's expression of heartache for his wife, Liu apologized with shame.
"A person? There's a person here?" Zhu Chenfeng opened the lid of the bamboo basket in confusion, and was immediately shocked when he saw the child inside.
[Mother, hurry back to camp, time is running out.]
Shake him awake and question him about the whereabouts of his gang of bandits posing as mountain bandits!
Hearing her daughter's urging voice, Liu hurriedly covered the lid in Zhu Chenfeng's hand and looked at him with a frown.
"Second brother, I'll explain when we get back. Let's go back first."
At the same time, Grandma Zhu also found the hiding place of the cart, but she did not immediately push the cart out of the bushes.
Instead, they pulled out thick layers of weeds to cover the cart until it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
She then took out a handkerchief from her bosom, tied it to the big tree beside her, and used a dagger to carve a circle to leave a mark.
After doing all this, she emerged from the depths of the bushes with a feeling of unease.
