Chapter 15 Aren’t you a little mute?
It turned out that the exile team responsible for escorting the prince and generals encountered a landslide yesterday.
All the vanguard troops in the front were buried alive, twenty-six of them, not a single one left.
The timing of this heavy rain was so coincidental that a mudslide rushed down from the mountain and engulfed them in an instant.
I heard that these twenty-six men were the elite soldiers of Nanyue responsible for attacking the city.
They were responsible for escorting Crown Prince Xiangli before. It was because they beat Xiangli and refused to give him medical treatment that the military officers of the Western Zhou Dynasty became very emotional and had to send Xiangli to Xiangying's team which was mostly composed of female members.
Xiangying felt no sympathy when he learned what had happened.
Tao Xue patted her chest and said, "If we had walked slower yesterday, we might have been the ones buried."
Xiang Yuanxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said lightly: "It won't be us. They will die wherever they go. Who asked them to bully my uncle?"
Xiangying looked at the little guy. Xiang Yuanxiao had already turned around and told his younger brothers and sisters to tell him when they were tired.
He looked like a little adult, as if the indifference he had just shown was just Xiangying's illusion.
As the sun rose, the exile team set out again.
When Yellow Beard saw Xiangying, there was no change in his expression, except that his smile was a bit perfunctory.
The two soldiers he sent to pull the cart were also very rude.
The journey was bumpy and Xiangying was afraid that Xiangli's wound, which had not yet healed, would break again.
In order to catch up with the progress delayed yesterday, the exile team did not stop for a moment today.
Several military supervisors decided to take a shortcut across the mountain and go directly to the next large post station to rest.
In the evening.
They found a large abandoned beast cave and used it as a place to rest temporarily.
People like Xiangying and others are naturally not qualified to live in the cave.
Xiangying took the children to a sheltered spot on the side of the cave, spread out some hay and clothes, and then lay down.
Some palace concubines and ladies who wanted to follow Xiangying also sat down near her.
The military supervisors built a fire in front and cooked porridge, and the aroma of meat wafted over again.
However, the meat was given to the military lieutenants, and the exiled prisoners had only porridge to drink.
Xiangying prepared braised pork rice for the children.
Xiangying put the braised pork and chopped vegetables on the rice wrapped in oil paper.
Just pinch it twice and it becomes a rice ball, which is very convenient to eat.
I originally wanted to add two cooked shrimps, but I was afraid I couldn’t explain it clearly to the children.
There was no other choice, Xiangying could only make himself a seafood rice bowl.
Chopped shrimps are paired with soaked and cooked scallops and abalone, poured with a spoonful of fresh and rich sauce, and topped with a little green onion and chili pepper. It is extremely delicious!
Even if your children suffer, you can't make yourself suffer.
The Lin family was given a sauerkraut meat pie for each member, so they could eat it in seclusion.
Xiangying took the children and took them to a place with few people nearby under the pretext of taking them to the toilet.
After they quietly finished eating, Xiangying was about to take them back, but Xiang Xiuxiu grabbed his sleeve.
"Mother, the three of us have decided to tell you a secret."
"Hmm?" Xiangying raised her eyebrows. "What's the matter?"
Xiang Yuanxiao ordered Tao Xue to follow.
The three little guys looked serious, until the second son Xiang Yuanlang stepped forward.
"Will you always take care of us like this and never leave us?"
Xiangying was surprised: "You can actually speak, aren't you a little mute?"
Xiang Yuanlang's cold little face suddenly became angry.
"I just didn't want to pay attention to you before, and that's not the point. Answer me, will you always be responsible for us?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course I am responsible for you."
Xiang Xiuxiu said in a sweet voice: "Mother, you have been asking the military supervisors for food all the time. It's too dangerous, so we decided to provide the food ourselves."
"You? How do you provide it?"
"My second brother can talk to animals. He can call a wild rabbit over. You are so skilled, you can just catch it." Xiang Yuanxiao had thought of the plan.
Xiangying looked at Xiang Yuanlang and asked, "Can you communicate with animals?"
I didn't expect this kid to have this ability.
However, Xiangying was not too surprised.
Because at the end of the world, some people suddenly awakened supernatural powers and were able to communicate with all kinds of animals.
Xiang Yuanxiao saw that Xiang Ying did not show any surprise, and thought she did not believe it.
"Second brother, show her your skills!"
Xiang Yuanlang nodded, picked up a leaf and put it between his lips, and he was able to blow out a clear tune.
The woods were stirred by the wind, and Xiangying stared into the grass, waiting for a wild rabbit to appear.
suddenly!
A flock of birds were flying in the woods not far away, passing over their heads like a dark cloud.
Xiangying was stunned, and before she could react, something fell on the back of her hand.
A white mass, still warm...
"Ah!" Xiang Xiuxiu covered her little head and shouted, "Second brother, you shouted the wrong way, there is so much bird shit, mother, help me!"
The three children screamed together and grabbed Xiangying's sleeves to hide their heads.
Xiangying picked up Xiang Xiuxiu and held her under his elbow.
"Run!" She turned around and ran.
Xiang Yuanlang hurriedly dropped the leaves and followed Xiang Ying in a panic with Xiang Yuanxiao.
Tao Xue was guarding nearby and had no idea what was happening. She only saw something dark in the sky and the deafening sound of birds chirping.
She turned her head and saw Xiang Ying running towards her at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, holding Xiang Xiu Xiu in his arms and dragging Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang with his other two hands.
Tao Xue was puzzled: "Huh? Princess, why…"
Xiangying passed by her like a gust of wind, grabbed Taoxue's clothes and dragged her away.
They rushed out of the woods, and the flock of birds actually flew towards Xiang Yuanlang.
A dark mass covered the top of the exile team's station.
Before the soldiers could react, someone found himself hit by bird droppings.
Shouts and curses rang out one after another, and screams and cries were mixed together.
suddenly!
An arrow with murderous force pierced through the air and directly killed one of the birds.
The flock of birds seemed to come to their senses then, turned around, flapped their wings and flew away.
Jie Chen, who was riding on horseback, put down his bow and arrow, and his cold and sharp eyes under the mask swept towards Xiangying's position in the distance.
The birds flew away and the shadows over their heads disappeared.
Xiangying breathed slightly and used a handkerchief to wipe the bird droppings off Xiangxiuxiu's face.
The little girl felt very aggrieved and said pitifully, "Stinky."
Xiangying was fine, there was not much dirt on his body, and the three little guys only had a little dirt on their faces and arms.
Pour clean water on the handkerchief and wipe it to make it clean.
Xiang Yuanlang's face turned red from holding back his anger. He clenched the corner of his clothes with his little hands and didn't dare to look up at Xiangying.
"Pfft." Xiangying couldn't help laughing.
Xiang Yuanlang looked up at her and deliberately pretended to be cold: "I haven't done this for a long time. I just made a mistake."
Xiangying knew that in the last days, when someone awakens superpowers, they would need training.
Most of the time, Xiang Yuanlang needs to practice this skill repeatedly.
She reached out and rubbed Xiang Yuanlang's head: "It's already very impressive."
Xiang Yuanlang was slightly startled, and his pupils widened.
Was he praised?
Xiangying didn't notice the little guy's mood change, and just reminded him: "But your ability needs practice, don't use it easily for now, it won't be too late to use it when you really master it."
Speaking of this, Xiangying suddenly felt that Xiang Yuanlang would be able to command the animals skillfully.
Then could he raise a group of cows to help her cultivate the fields?
It’s such an easy thing to think about!
"Yeah... I understand." Xiang Yuanlang nodded gently, glanced at Xiangying, and then turned his blushing face away.
Xiangying took out the imperial green in a wooden case from his arms, wiped it carefully twice, and then put it back into his lapel.
A patrolling soldier seemed to be patrolling nearby by accident and saw what was in her arms.
Nightfall.
The children were asleep and Xiangying was about to go to sleep.
But the yellow-bearded man came over quietly and said, "Princess, I found something. Come with me and see it."
Xiangying stood up and glanced at Momoyuki and the sleeping children.
Without hesitation, she followed Yellow Beard and left the resting group, quietly walking to a small path on the side.
The wilderness was silent except for the sound of the wind.
"What?"
"You must know this, right?" The man with yellow beard spread out his hands.
By the moonlight, Xiangying saw that the thing in his hand was the candy that he was tricked into thinking was an antidote.
