Chapter 5: Good luck
Not only did Su Ying not let go, she also deliberately put her hands on his waist. Hmm, his abdominal muscles are quite strong.
Xiao Jin's body stiffened, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes. While Su Ying was stunned, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and strangled her neck with his other hand.
Su Ying was caught off guard and stumbled into the tree trunk behind her. When she looked up, she met Xiao Jin's murderous face.
"Su Ying, you are looking for death."
Because of the injury on his leg, Xiao Jin was unable to stand, and this posture made him put almost all of his body weight on Su Ying.
"Uh, uh." Su Ying groaned due to the pressure, and she became angry when she looked at Xiao Jin's face so close to her.
"Xiao Jin, you are so ungrateful. If you have the guts, just leave by yourself." Su Ying grabbed Xiao Jin's hand with her backhand, and was surprised that the strength he exerted was much greater than she had imagined.
Xiao Jin tightened his grip a little, and he looked at her coldly, "Don't touch me." After saying that, he loosened his grip.
Su Ying sneered but was not angry. "Okay, I wish you good luck."
After saying that, she pushed Xiao Jin aside and came to Dabao, picked him up from the ground and held him in front of her with a cloth belt.
"Daddy..." Erbao was so frightened by the fight between the two that he almost dropped the dry food in his hand.
Xiao Jin listened to Erbao's soft voice, took a deep breath, bent down, picked up two branches as thick as his arms, and supported himself on the ground. The simple action made his back sweat.
"Ling'er, follow daddy."
Erbao nodded, walked forward with her short legs and sensibly supported Xiao Jin, although her limited strength could not provide much help.
Su Ying glanced at Xiao Jin and saw that he put most of his strength on his hands without saying anything. "You bastard, let's see how long you can hold on."
As exiled prisoners, they were not eligible to take the official road, for fear of offending the nobles passing by, so they walked through the wilderness all the way.
As Su Ying walked in the team, she noticed that there were very few familiar faces in the team.
The Emperor was furious because the Prince of Qi had colluded with the enemy and committed treason. He originally wanted to execute all the members of the Prince of Qi's family, but the Queen cried and pleaded with the Emperor, so the Emperor changed the sentence to exile.
The entire Prince Qi's Mansion was going to be exiled to the Northern Wilderness. There were hundreds of people in the entire Prince Qi's Mansion, but there were few familiar faces in the team.
Because the original owner didn't pay any attention to the life and death of other people in the Prince Qi's Mansion. He only vaguely remembered that these people gradually died, and he had no impression of the specific circumstances. After all, it was not uncommon for prisoners to die on the way to exile.
Su Ying frowned slightly. It seemed that those people had no intention of letting Xiao Jin go.
As she remembered, the capital was thousands of miles away from the Northern Wilderness, and it would take at least several months to walk there. Calculating the time, it was already winter when they arrived in the Northern Wilderness. Although she had storage space, except for medical supplies, other supplies were limited.
She still doesn't know the situation in the Northern Wilderness, so she has to take the opportunity to collect more useful supplies along the way.
Su Ying ate two meals of dry food in the space and drank some replenishing fluids. Although her body was still a little weak, it was much better than when she just woke up. However, the prisoners who did not eat dry food last night were not in such a good condition.
They were already hungry along the way, and they hadn't even had anything to eat last night, so the team slowed down as they walked.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you keep dawdling, you won't get any food tonight. Get out of here!"
"ah!"
Under the beating of the police officers, the exhausted prisoners fell down, but the police officers did not care about their life or death. In the State of Chu, once exiled to the northern wilderness, they were no longer even Chu citizens once they crossed the border, and there was no chance of turning things around, so the police officers were so unscrupulous.
"Daddy, Daddy...what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Erbao's crying voice came from behind. Su Ying turned around and saw Xiao Jin had fallen to the ground at some point.
Seeing this, an officer walked towards Xiao Jin with a whip in hand.
When the officer arrived in front of Xiao Jin, Su Ying had already walked over first.
The officer who raised the whip suddenly met Su Ying's cold eyes. He subconsciously shrank his neck, glared at Xiao Jin fiercely, and walked to the back of the team.
"Daddy, daddy... wuwuwu..." Erbao squatted in front of Xiao Jin, and used her two little hands to try to lift up Xiao Jin who was lying on the ground, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not shake Xiao Jin at all.
Su Ying snorted and checked Xiao Jin's leg. There was slight bleeding on the gauze, but fortunately it was not serious. He had fainted due to exhaustion.
She was surprised that he could walk so far just relying on the core strength of his arms and dantian.
While no one was paying attention, Su Ying quickly stuffed a ginseng supplement pill into his mouth, and then carried him on her back.
Even though Xiao Jin was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, he was not light at all. Fortunately, she had an auxiliary device in her space, otherwise she would not be able to carry him on her back.
"Ling'er, don't cry. Daddy is too tired and fell asleep. I'll carry him on my back and we'll continue on our journey."
Only after hearing Su Ying say that Xiao Jin was just asleep did Erbao stop sobbing.
Su Ying tied Xiao Jin to her body with a vine she had picked up to prevent him from falling, but she really couldn't free up a third hand to hold Erbao.
She turned her back to the crowd, took out a palm-sized water bottle, put it to Erbao's lips and whispered, "Drink some water first, and then hold on to your brother's legs. Don't let go, okay?"
Xiao Jin fainted and his brother was seriously injured. Erbao had no one to rely on and could only choose to trust Su Ying at this time.
"I, I won't run around. I'll just hold on to my brother."
Su Ying felt more and more distressed about the child. After patting her little head gently, she followed the team with the one big and two small ones.
Su Ying, a thin and petite woman, was able to walk very fast carrying a grown man and a child on her back without blushing or beating her heart. Others were surprised when they saw her, and they also believed that she was an outlier and should not be easily provoked.
The sun was at its zenith and was getting hotter and hotter above our heads, making people dizzy and unable to open their eyes.
Xiao Jin woke up in a burning sensation, and when he opened his eyes he saw Su Ying's face, which was covered with dirty and black marks from sweat.
His eyes darkened and he realized that he was carried on her back.
Xiao Jin frowned. He saw that although Su Ying was sweating profusely, she was able to walk with him on her back and Ji'er in her arms without any effort. This was something that the previous Su Ying could not do.
If she hadn't hidden it well enough, there would only be one possibility left.
She is not Su Ying.
Xiao Jin's gaze dropped to Su Ying's neck. Because she hadn't taken a bath for more than a month, her neck had become black, but the black mole on the Dazhui point was very conspicuous.
The mole was not big, and even Su Ying herself didn't know it existed, but Xiao Jin knew it.
She is Su Ying.
