Chapter 60 Doudou, You Are My Doudou
For two days in a row.
Jie Chendu came to help pull the wooden cart.
The three little ones finally began to like him a little. Although they still refused to talk to him, at least they were willing to look him in the eye.
What reassured Xiangying was that Fang Gan had not appeared since that day when the note was left.
He should have thought it through clearly. There is no point in following a master like her.
When they were almost reaching Lianhua Ferry, something happened to the exile team.
The hot weather and long hours of walking cause many people to develop sores on their feet.
Several people fell down as a result.
Xie Chen was very ruthless. He ordered the captains and soldiers to crack their whips to urge the prisoners to get on the road faster.
Only Xiangying could see that Jie Chen wanted them to reach Lianhua Ferry as soon as possible.
Once you are on board, you won't need to leave, and the situation will be much better than it is now.
Just walking non-stop under the scorching sun, even the horses were snorting and some of them could not bear it, not to mention that most of the exile team were women with weak constitutions.
Xie Chen finally ordered the exile team to rest on the spot.
Everyone fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
The skinny monkey held a water bag in his hand and asked them to drink one by one.
"Everyone can only drink one sip. Don't drink more. I'm watching you!" He said as he cracked the whip to teach a prisoner who wanted to drink more water a lesson.
Xiangying noticed that several prisoners had abnormally red faces and their eyes were wandering as if they were sick.
She frowned slightly.
When the skinny monkey came to her, Xiangying couldn't help but remind her: "One water bag, so many people drinking from it, if one of them gets sick, the rest will suffer."
The skinny monkey had no idea of this and instead found it somewhat funny.
"Princess, why should we be so particular when we are out in public? Besides, these people may look weak, but they are actually very strong and will not die even if they get sick."
After that, he asked Xiangying if he wanted to drink water, but Xiangying immediately turned his head and refused.
Everyone around her only drank the clean water provided by Xiangying.
The three little guys are full of energy.
Just now they ate the honey pork jerky that Xiangying made in the space, and drank two sips of iced mint grape water.
They would jump up and down beside Xiangli, and the three of them would compete to help Xiangli walk.
Xiangying went to Mr. Lin and told them not to drink the water bag handed to him by the skinny monkey.
"I'll have Lingxiang bring you clean water every day."
Elder Lin was a little weak from the heat, and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Princess."
Xiangying went to instruct the Seventh Princess, Concubine Yu and others.
She turned around and found that Scarface had been following her as if nothing had happened since the beginning.
Xiangying frowned: "You have nothing to do?"
Scarface was stunned.
Even Xiangying's tone is similar to that of their General Jie!
"No, no, no, I'm just taking a break and looking around." Scarface was a little embarrassed.
He actually just wanted to see if Xiangying needed any help.
At this moment, a terrified cry came from the women next to them.
"Doudouer, Doudouer, has anyone seen my Doudouer?"
Xiangying turned his head to look.
An old concubine went crazy and was asking people where Doudou was.
She grabbed Xiang Qianqian's hand, but she shook it off in disgust.
"Captain, please take care of this. This old concubine is confused. Everyone looks like her son to her!"
The Seventh Princess sighed in Xiangying's ear: "When Concubine Liu was still the emperor's grandfather's concubine, she gave birth to a prince, but unfortunately he died before the age of one month."
"The prince's nickname was Dou Dou'er. I heard that since then, Concubine Liu's mental state has been a bit abnormal, and she often cries and laughs."
"Before in the palace, she had someone to take care of her and took medicine regularly to control her condition. Now that she has no medicine, her condition is getting worse and worse."
The exile team was about to set off, but Concubine Liu was still lying on the ground crying, her shoes had long been lost.
The people around her were busy with their own affairs. She had neither power nor children to support her. If she didn't leave, she would end up being beaten to pieces by the skinny monkey.
Looking at her bloody soles, Xiangying turned her eyes to the scarred face behind her.
"If you have time, you can carry her for a while, and consider it a favor to me."
After saying this, Xiangying turned to look for the children.
Scarface was quite surprised.
How did she know that he wanted to help her do something within his ability?
After hearing Xiangying's words, Scarface did not hesitate and walked directly towards Liu Taibin and carried her on his back.
Concubine Liu paused crying for a moment and looked at him in confusion.
"Doudouer, are you my Doudouer?"
"Old lady, I'm carrying you on my back out of kindness, but please don't take advantage of me. I'm not your son!" The scarred man carried the old woman on his back with steady steps.
Concubine Liu lay on his back and looked at his profile.
She, with her head full of silver hair, suddenly smiled foolishly.
"You are my Doudou, but Doudou, why do you look different?"
She stretched out her skinny and dirty hand and tremblingly stroked Scarface's beard.
"Your face has become bigger, your skin has become darker, and you've grown hairier."
Xiangying heard it nearby, and he and Momoyuki and the others couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Scarface looked stiff and embarrassed.
"You old woman...!"
Before he could finish his words, Concubine Liu had already hugged his shoulders from behind.
"Doudou'er, no matter what you become, mother will like you."
Xiangying blinked at Scarface and said, "That's good. She treats you as her deceased son. Just do good things and spend more time with her."
Scarface felt helpless.
"I can't carry her on my back forever."
"Then do the best you can."
As Xiangying was speaking, a noisy sound came from the front.
Tao Xue immediately went to the front to watch the fun out of curiosity.
After a while, she came back and said, "The pioneer team that was exploring the way caught a few sneaky people nearby."
"Under torture, we found out that he was a fisherman who used to make a living in Lianhua Ferry."
"They discovered the enemy and wanted to hide, but now they have been caught. I heard that Jie Jianjun has issued an order for them to accompany the ship and help lead the way."
It seems that Xie Chen also understood the difficulties of the dangerous river in advance, and found a few fishermen who were familiar with the terrain to direct the direction to avoid going the wrong way.
Xiangying didn't take it seriously.
That night, Xie Chen and his team let the entire exile team rest near Lianhua Ferry.
He went to Lianhua Ferry with the vanguard team to arrange boats.
A total of six large ships were needed to exile these prisoners.
Now that the war has just ended, it is not certain that we can find a suitable ship.
Xiangying made a bowl of mung bean soup from the space, and provided the children and Taoxue with some soy sauce cakes and a small piece of braised beef.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious food.
Xiangying called Scarface over and gave him a bowl of mung bean soup.
Scarface was extremely puzzled: "Where did this come from?"
Xiangying glanced at him and said, "Xie Chen gave it to me. Do you still need to ask?"
Scarface immediately dispelled his doubts, bowed, said thank you, and drank the mung bean soup in one gulp.
Seeing his decisiveness, Xiangying snorted jokingly, "Is it delicious? I put a laxative in it."
"Damn it!" Scarface was shocked and immediately tried to scratch his throat.
Xiangying laughed, "Just kidding!"
She handed over a new bowl of mung bean soup: "Give it to Concubine Liu."
Scarface frowned completely this time: "I have something else to do. Do you think I am your servant? I am not free."
I helped her once during the day, that should be enough, right?
However, by the time he finished speaking, Xiangying had already stuffed the bowl into his palm.
The children over there kept calling Xiangying over. She hurriedly said "I leave it to you" and left Scarface alone there.
There was no way, Scarface could only listen to her and planned to give the mung bean soup to Concubine Liu and leave.
Unexpectedly, he saw several soldiers tying up Concubine Liu.
"Who told you to do this!" Scarface roared and strode over.
