Chapter 458: Chaotic Daily Life
After a while, the two men secretly took an old hen from the front yard and hid in the vegetable garden behind the house.
Bai Yu pulled at the hen's wings and plucked a few feathers neatly. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It will be fine in a moment!"
The old hen, "Cluck! Cluck!"
After plucking the chicken feathers, several small hole-like wounds appeared on the wings. Tianbao immediately applied space water on them, leaving two small bloody wounds untreated.
The old hen continued to flutter, "Cluck! Cluck!"
From the front yard came the old woman's puzzled muttering, "We just finished feeding, why are they suddenly barking so loudly... Dahua? Dahua?"
"Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!" The old hen rushed out from the vegetable garden, dived into the corner of the chicken coop, and huddled there, shivering.
Old Lady Su, “???”
Behind the vegetable garden, two delicate and beautiful faces popped out, grinning awkwardly at the old woman.
Old Lady Su: “…”
"You two little bastards, are you so bored after staying at home for ten days or half a month? You have nothing to do and you start to eat the chickens you raised! Look how scared you are to Dahua! Don't run! Do you really think that grandma won't beat you? You keep doing bad things!" After cursing, the old woman picked up a small wooden stick from the corner and pretended to hit her.
Several people immediately jumped out of the main room, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
Su Wu, "Grandma! You are the most powerful today! Wait, we will help you! Big brother, second brother, hurry up, surround them! Wangbai, guard the wall! Bing'er, block the main gate! Don't let those two little bastards get away!"
Su An, "Grandpa, just stand here, just stand here! Tianbao will definitely not run over here when he sees you standing here, lest you get accidentally hurt by grandma, hahaha!"
Su Laoer, "What are you doing? What are you doing? You bastards, just play your own games, why did you drag us out here? Ouch! Mom, please watch out, the stick is hitting me!"
The old man Du walked out of the house slowly, holding Nian Nian in his left hand and Sui Sui in his right hand. He gave one to Bai Yu and the other to Tian Bao.
The old man shook his shoulders, "It's just a small scene, don't panic, don't panic, hold on to the years, your grandma will be afraid of you in return! This is called throwing a rat to avoid the weapon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow pounced on the old man, "I'm so scared of you! You're invulnerable to poison! You dare to steal the baby while I'm still here! Just wait and see how I punish you today!"
Mrs. Huo was always there to watch the fun, and while watching, she kept shouting, "My daughter, your sister's family is in chaos again, hurry over and help! His father, don't come out, you will only spoil the fun! Go back, go back!"
The chaos lasted for nearly half an hour before it died down.
In order to seek justice for her pet Dahua, Old Lady Su drove all the little brats next door and let them play by themselves.
When children are not at home, I miss them a lot, and when they are at home, I feel annoyed.
Hiding in the main room next door, a group of young people were too lazy to light a brazier.
In February, the temperature gradually begins to rise. Young people are full of energy and will not feel cold even if they don’t sit by the fire.
"It's been a month since I last received news. Bai Yu, what's the situation in Dongpu now? Has a fight broken out?" Su Wu was very concerned about this matter.
Bai Yu leaned back in the bamboo chair. His legs were too long, and bending them felt awkward, so he draped them over the chair opposite him. "The Nansang army hasn't arrived yet, so the other nations don't dare to rush into battle. However, their frequent small moves are enough to annoy Dongpu."
"Nan Sang can't borrow a passage from Da Yue. If she wants to go to Dong Pu, she can only sail..." Su An remembered something and leaned towards his brothers. "Aren't there pirates rampant in the waters outside the exile area? Will Nan Sang encounter pirates?"
Tian Bao shook his head. "Nan Sang has allocated 30,000 troops this time. The pirates will just run away if they encounter them."
Then she continued, "Even if Nan Sang really goes to the battlefield, the countries will weigh the pros and cons, and the final result will be to sit down and negotiate to maximize their interests."
National war is not that simple. You can't just start it on impulse.
If a war really breaks out, in addition to military strength, there will also need to be strong financial support.
Whether it is food, weapons or armaments, money is needed.
When one side is defeated, it is more often not because of insufficient troops, but because of a lack of supporting forces.
Because the national war lasted too long, long enough to empty the national treasury.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the kings of various countries would not choose to go to war easily.
They designed the chaos in various countries just to weaken their national strength and create cracks among them.
Only the Exiled Lands can survive in this environment.
Let’s leave this topic aside for now.
Several people turned to another topic. "The Iron Man that disappeared from Chu Tianxing's hands has not been found yet. It is very likely that he has been transported out of Xiling Kingdom. The second Iron Man that appeared in Dongpu Imperial City may be the same group. Who is behind this?"
They still haven't figured out the two strokes Chu Tianxing wrote before his death.
Bai Yu rested his head on his arms and said confidently, "First, we can rule out Dongpu. Secondly, Xiling, Dayue, and Yunqin are unlikely to be involved. The mastermind behind this is among the other seven nations that want to start a war."
Nansang, Beixiang, Darong, as well as Longyuan, Fenglan, Shangbei and Lingjiang.
"Once the chaos settles down, maybe we can get some clues. There's no need to rush." Tian Bao said, "If you are a fox, you will eventually reveal your tail."
Whatever their sister said was the truth, and Xiaomai Sui and Bing'er agreed loudly.
Little Wheat Ear yelled, "Our most urgent task is to get rid of the Undying Worm! Don't get distracted! The poison in my sister's body hasn't been cured yet!"
Bing'er nodded seriously, "Grandma said that the poison of the bloodworm can only last for three years at most. My sister was only infected with half a bloodworm, which makes it difficult to deal with. Grandma and I don't know what will happen if you are infected with half a bloodworm, so we should detoxify it as soon as possible."
The little girl drooped and dejectedly took out a small box the size of a palm from her bosom. "It's a pity that I've been hatching it for a long time, but the Unyielding Worm still refuses to come out."
I don’t know how long I have to wait.
Bing'er was a little scared.
I was afraid that my sister’s poison would take effect before the bugs came out.
Then she really wouldn't know what to do.
Bai Yu sat up, staring at the small box with his dark eyes, then reached out and took it, opening the lid.
The pale yellow mandarin duck cocoon lay quietly in the box, like a dead object.
But this thing depends on Tianbao's life.
"Bing'er, can this cocoon get wet?" he asked.
Bing'er thought about it, still unsure. "Soaking it in water definitely won't work. But getting it wet... getting it wet... maybe it will. I kept it close to my body when I was hatching the Unyielding Worm, and when I sweated... the cocoon got wet with my sweat..."
Bing'er's face changed after she finished speaking, and she started to cry, "Could it be because of the sweat that the Bu Yu insect refused to come out?"
Could it be that she hatched it to death?!
If this is true, Bing'er will become a sinner for all eternity!
