Nanny Wang was urged by Yu Xiaoxiao to go and boil water. It was snowing outside the cave, so she just needed to get a few buckets of water back to boil. ..
Xiao Wei carefully placed Gu Xinglang on the leather mat next to the fire, and first washed Gu Xinglang's face and hands with the hot water brought by Xiao Zhuang.
Xiaozhuang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao who was staring at Gu Xinglang in a daze, and asked Xiaowei in a low voice: "Is the prince consort seriously injured?"
Xiao Wei shook his head and said, "It's just a bump on the head. It will be fine once you wake up."
Xiao Zhuang said, "You lied to me."
"Why would I lie to you?" Xiao Wei lowered his head.
Xiao Zhuang pulled at the outer robe that Gu Xinglang was wearing and said, "There's so much blood, you say it's okay?"
“It’s not Xiao Gu’s blood,” Yu Xiaoxiao whispered.
Xiaozhuang looked at Yu Xiaoxiao.
"Is there anything to eat?" Yu Xiao: "I'm hungry."
"Oh, yes, Princess, wait a minute, I'll get it for you," Xiaozhuang stood up and went to get food for Yu Xiaoxiao when he heard that Yu Xiao was hungry.
Miss Qian looked at the Jiang family women crying in front of Jiang Zhuojun and said to Nanny Wang worriedly, "Are they going to kill this general again?"
Nanny Wang didn't even look into the cave and said, "They don't dare."
"Why?" asked Miss Zhao, who was helping to boil water.
Nanny Wang said, "With their son dead, they can only rely on General Xiao Jiang for their livelihood. Is there anyone who dares to speak ill of the parents who provide them with food and clothing?"
Miss Zhao said, "How pitiful."
Nanny Wang looked at Miss Zhao and said, "Don't feel sorry for others. It's more important to give birth to a child as soon as possible."
Miss Zhao and Li Wan blushed when they heard what Nanny Wang said.
Miss Qian said disdainfully: "I'm not afraid of these."
Nanny Wang said, "Ms. Qian has only you as his successor, so you don't have to be afraid."
Miss Qian felt that Nanny Wang's words were a bit harsh, and she muttered, "It's not that I don't want my father to have a child."
Nanny Wang looked at Miss Qian and shook her head, saying, "As for this person, whether there are daughters or not is determined by heaven. Miss, it is better for a daughter to find a man to live with. You should find an honest and loyal man who will not plot against your family property. When Mr. Qian gets old, he will be able to enjoy a happy life with a trustworthy son-in-law to help him, right?"
Miss Qian stamped her feet and said, "Mammy, why are you telling me this?"
Watching Miss Qian running away, Miss Zhao and Li Wan looked at each other and shook their heads.
Nanny Wang said, "What will Xiaozhuang do with this kind of temper in the future?"
Miss Zhao and Li Wan remained silent. This guy and Xiaozhuang haven't figured it out yet. What's the point of them worrying?
Jiang Zhuojun drank a bowl of hot soup and did not rest. He held the bodies of the four children in his arms and touched their faces, which had long lost their warmth. He whispered to the tribesmen, "We will remember this grudge and will avenge it one day."
The women wept bitterly.
The relatives of the four clansmen who followed Jiang Zhuojun to the Bodhi Temple and never returned were now crying with red eyes.
"They didn't suffer much before they died," Jiang Zhuojun said to the four families who were crying, "I'm useless. I'm sorry."
The uncle wiped away his tears and said, "Okay, according to the rules of our Jiang family, if a child dies, he cannot be left overnight, so he should be buried in this mountain."
Jiang Yue Niang hugged Xiao Bao, and two lines of tears fell on Xiao Bao's face.
Xiaobao was young but sensible. He leaned on his mother's arms and watched the adults wrap the bodies of his four little cousins in clothes. The little guy said nothing and just stared at them.
"Xiaobao," Jiang Yue's mother whispered to her son, "You can't be in any trouble."
"Well," Xiaobao twisted his body, looked at Jiang Yue Niang, and said, "Xiaobao will always be with mother."
Jiang Zhuojun personally held his second brother's baby, looked at his sister who was also crying, and walked out of the cave.
"Let's not go out," Nanny Wang said to the group of people on her side, "This is the Jiang family's business, we can't get involved. When the child is buried, we will go to the grave to take a look, which will be considered as our best intention."
Li Wan couldn't bear it and said, "Mammy, aren't we going to see her off?"
The old Taoist said at this time: "Children who died young are already unlucky. If we go to send them off, it will be a big scene and these four boys will not be able to bear it."
There was silence in the cave.
Outside the cave, the cries of the Jiang clan members were carried far away by the wind and snow.
Yu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly and her eyes were cold.
Nanny Wang brought a bowl of freshly cooked broth to Yu Xiaoxiao's side, put the broth in Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, and sat beside her without saying a word. Nanny Wang knew that her princess looked carefree and heartless, but in fact she was the kindest person, and her princess must be feeling bad at this moment.
Yu Xiaoxiao drank another bowl of broth in silence.
Nanny Wang took the empty bowl in her hand and stuffed a bag of dried meat into Yu Xiaoxiao's hand. Watching Yu Xiaoxiao eat the dried meat bite by bite, Nanny Wang said, "Life and death are determined by fate, Princess. We have done our best."
Yu Xiao: "Mammy, I just want to go with you from the beginning."
Nanny Wang touched Yu Xiaoxiao's head and said, "Can you get the antidote if you follow them? Didn't the abbot of the temple take our Red Jade Phoenix but didn't give us the antidote? In my opinion, he doesn't have the antidote at all."
"What?" Yu Xiaoxiao felt a little dizzy. Without the antidote, how could Jingshi cause so much trouble?
Not only Yu Xiaoxiao, but the entire boss's group were listening to what Nanny Wang said with their ears perked up.
"I figured it out tonight," Nanny Wang said, "The host knew that General Xiao Jiang and his men were fugitives, and that General Xiao Jiang couldn't produce the Ruby Phoenix, but why did he ask for it?"
The eldest master asked, "Why?"
"A high monk like the Living Buddha can't even cure the poison in his own temple. Isn't this ridiculous?" Nanny Wang said, "It looks like he is trying to embarrass General Xiao Jiang, but in fact he doesn't want to embarrass himself."
Yu Xiao: "Then why did he arrest Xiao Jiang and send him to the Eternal Life Temple?"
"General Xiao Jiang sent the Ruby Phoenix, and he couldn't hand over the antidote. If the abbot doesn't keep his word, wouldn't that make him even more ridiculous?" Nanny Wang sneered, "If he says that the Eternal Life Temple wants to arrest General Xiao Jiang, wouldn't he be able to save his face?"
"Is that so?" the old Taoist said, "In just a few hours, he said that the Eternal Life Temple wanted to arrest someone. Can the monks under his command believe him?"
Nanny Wang rolled her eyes at the old Taoist priest again and said, "Since this temple is a subsidiary of the Eternal Life Temple, it must be connected to the Eternal Life Temple. The abbot just randomly said an hour and said that he had just received news from the Eternal Life Temple. Who dares to say that he is lying?"
Yu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and shouted, "Can this be possible?"
"It's just a trick," Nanny Wang shook her head and said, "Now it seems that this Temple of Eternal Life is not worthy of my worship. It's disgusting."
