Chapter 169 What a coincidence, you are here to take a shower too?
Xiangying turned around.
Ren had been following the exile team, his eyes fixed on her.
It was not clear last night, but when it was daytime, Xiangying discovered that the child was really thin.
He was wearing ill-fitting clothes and his pants were very short, revealing his knees and below.
That angular, immature face looked dark-skinned because it was too tall and thin, with only a pair of eyes that were bright and shining.
Ren fell down while running.
Tao Xue was startled: "Hey, is this child okay?"
They all looked towards Sang-young, waiting for her order to help Ren up.
However, Xiangying simply looked away.
"in spite of."
Everyone was silent and could only obey.
It is true that Ah Ren is very pitiful, but they are about to go to the Imperial City of Nanyue.
There, you will become someone else's prisoner and who knows what fate you will encounter.
Only this child was so foolish as to want to risk his life just for a little food.
In the evening, Xie Chen asked the entire team to stop and rest early.
They found an abandoned and empty tea shed as their place to stay and set up their tent on the spot.
At the same time, Xie Chen sent out a team of scouts to take a look at the situation ahead.
If there really is a group of hungry refugees, they must prepare for it in advance.
Xiangying stewed a pot of cloud mushroom chicken for the children and Taoxue, then walked to the nearby woods.
She lowered her head and searched the ground, and heard footsteps following behind her.
Xiangying saw from the corner of her eye the tall and thin figure of Aren hiding behind a tree, looking at her curiously.
She pretended to be unaware and threw down the bag she had prepared in advance.
As soon as Sang-young left, Ren ran over and picked it up.
In the bag, there were steamed buns with chopped pickles and a large piece of braised beef.
Ren devoured the food, taking big bites of the meat.
He ate too fast and choked. He beat his chest in pain and his face turned red.
A slender hand suddenly patted his back with full force.
Ah Ren coughed and spat out the piece of beef stuck in his throat.
Xiangying crossed his arms and looked down: "No matter how delicious the food is, you can't swallow it without chewing it."
Ah Ren recovered and reached out to grab the beef he had just spit out.
Xiangying glared and slapped his hand away.
"It's dirty! You can't eat it." She said, and took out another bag of meat buns from her sleeve and gave it to him.
Ah Ren quickly said thank you and ate one bun in one bite, his cheeks bulging with food.
However, when he looked up and met Xiangying's dark and sharp eyes, Aren consciously slowed down.
Xiangying nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it, chew slowly."
She didn't dare let Ah Ren eat too much, for fear that he would get a stomachache.
I only put some vitamin tablets, calcium tablets, and physical supplements in his water bag.
After Ah Ren finished drinking, his face turned rosy and his eyes lit up.
"Thank you, sister." He actually recognized Xiangying as his relative.
I have to say, this kid is really smart.
Xiangying sighed, "It's no use calling me sister. You have to go. Don't you see we are all prisoners? You know what it means to be taken to the court of the King of Nanyue?"
"I know, I will die," Ah Ren licked his lips, still recalling the taste of the meat buns, but he added, "I protected my sister and used my life to exchange for the life of my sister's enemy."
Xiangying was stunned.
He is really a little wolf cub.
Xiangying stood up and left: "No, I don't need anyone to sacrifice for me."
Ah Ren took two steps after him and said, "What about your children? If those three children are in danger, I will protect them and leave first!"
Xiangying paused and looked back.
Ren's chest rose and fell, and the dark outlines of his brows and eyes showed his unparalleled seriousness.
He took out a dagger and suddenly cut his palm.
Xiangying was stunned.
"I heard that all the warriors around the royal family must recognize their master in this way. I swear with my blood that I will be my sister's warrior for the rest of my life and protect her life!"
When Ah Ren said this, his voice was particularly powerful.
The young boy's strong desire to survive made Xiangying think that he saw his master.
She was a little dazed.
When I first met the Master, he was like this too. Whenever he spoke, his eyes always sparkled with confidence.
He is a soul who never gives up, and Ren is very much like him.
Xiangying came back to his senses: "Let's talk about it later."
She walked away quickly, but Ah Ren smiled happily.
That’s great, sister didn’t say no, that means there is hope.
He quickly tied the water bag to his body and ran to catch up with Xiangying to avoid being left behind by the exile team.
The night was filled with darkness, and the remaining heat of the summer day had not yet subsided.
The prisoners felt hot while warming themselves by the fire on the dry and cracked ground, so they all avoided the fire.
Only Xiangying was grilling the delicious skewers of meat, making the surrounding prisoners' stomachs growl with greed.
The three children sat obediently on the big rock nearby and listened to Lu Feiyi telling them stories.
Lu Feiyi was saying, "That time I was traveling alone with three brothers on a mountain road, and we encountered a tiger that hadn't eaten for many days."
The three children became nervous after hearing this, and Xiang Xiuxiu seemed to be there: "So, were you eaten by it?"
Lu Feiyi smiled, revealing his brilliant white teeth: "If I were eaten, how could I sit here and talk to you?"
He lifted his clothes to reveal the claw scars on his abdomen.
"I was caught by the tiger. I guess I managed to escape from its claws."
The three little ones couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and Xiangying came over with the skewers of meat and shared them among them.
Seeing Lu Feiyi's scar, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill the tiger later?"
"It's too far-fetched to scare it away and kill the tiger."
Xiang Yuanxiao immediately stood up from the stone, biting the skewer and said, "My bad mother is so powerful. She can beat a bear with her bare hands, so a tiger is definitely no problem! If you don't believe me, a tiger will fight her right now!"
Xiangying pinched the little guy's face.
"Eat your meat well! Don't challenge me! I went to the barbecue just because you said you were hungry. If you don't eat it all, I'll spank you."
Xiang Yuanxiao lowered his head silently.
Xiangying raised his head and looked behind a tree not far away. Aren had been standing there, watching them.
"Lu Feiyi, please give these skewers to that child for me." Xiangying didn't plan to go over.
Lu Feiyi glanced at her and said, "Do you really want to care about him?"
Xiangying glanced at him, and his expression seemed very calm.
"Feed him as you like. I have so many people to feed anyway, so I don't mind having one more."
"That's true." Lu Feiyi smiled and turned away.
At night, everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Xiangying couldn't sleep. She was naturally more energetic than others. Without any supplements, she could still be full of energy even if she only slept four hours a day.
She knew there was a pond nearby and wanted to go swimming there.
After all, the bathroom in the space can only be used for bathing, while the pool can be used for swimming.
Xiangying, who has never enjoyed a natural, pollution-free pool in the apocalypse, has no resistance to pools of water.
She left the camp quietly, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and came to the pond on the hillside alone.
At this moment, the moon is full in the sky, and its solitary light is faintly blue.
She jumped into the water wearing the thin, thick clothes she had prepared.
A cool feeling instantly surrounds the body, dispelling the heat of the day.
As Xiangying swam, when he emerged from the water, he saw a tall figure sitting by the pool.
He was scrubbing his upper body.
She had touched this familiar figure everywhere and recognized it at a glance.
Xiangying narrowed his eyes.
Xie Chen came to take a shower so late at night? Isn't this a coincidence?
