Many villagers felt a pang of regret after Gu Zhan left.
After all, Gu Zhan and his soldiers were always approachable and would help them with whatever they could.
It can be said that Gu Zhan enjoys a very high reputation among the people, and many people like him and his troops.
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live stream were crying and wailing.
[General, General, how will you live without me!]
[General, please come back soon! Waaaaah, I miss you so much!]
[Host, you should hurry to the Northwest! Being a refugee should be tough, right, host?]
Xu Nian's face darkened, speechless. "If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't go crazy in my live stream."
[Host, you don't understand! It's definitely not something you'd be used to when this walking, charismatic general suddenly disappears!]
【Exactly, won't the streamer find it difficult to adjust?】
“I gave him a pinky ring, so we can communicate anytime.”
Xu Nian pursed her lips and retorted.
Thinking of the pinky ring she had given him, Xu Nian felt a strange sense of relief, but also a slight sense of doubt.
He was a highly decorated general, and he certainly had no shortage of gold and silver treasures.
Although the ring transmitted magic power, it looked like an ordinary black iron ring. I wonder if he would wear it?
On the other side.
"General, where are we going this time?"
The soldiers, struggling to keep up the journey, huddled around Gu Zhan, complaining bitterly, "We really can't take it anymore, can you make us something to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan gave them a cold look and said, "Eat your steamed buns."
No!
The soldiers fled in tears, and now they had no appetite for the steamed buns that they once found so convenient.
After all, with Xu Nian around, he would make strange but delicious things every day, and the soldiers' palates had long been spoiled.
In truth, Gu Zhan also missed Xu Nian's cooking from the bottom of his heart, but he knew he couldn't continue to indulge himself and his soldiers' stomachs, so he waved his hand.
"Rest and eat some steamed buns!"
The soldiers groaned and began to gnaw on their steamed buns, longing for Xu Nian with tears in their eyes.
"Miss Xu, you are our goddess!"
"Really, how can we live without you!"
"Waaah, next time I meet Miss Xu, I will definitely thank her properly."
Meanwhile, Gu Zhan calmly held up a steamed bun and ate it.
A sharp-eyed soldier noticed the ring on his right pinky finger and immediately shouted excitedly, "General, what's that!"
As far as they knew, the general disliked wearing jewelry or similar items, saying it would interfere with his battles.
But right now, Gu Zhan is carrying this little gadget firmly in his hand.
This sound immediately drew the attention of many people, who desperately moved closer to Gu Zhan.
"General, what's this material? It looks so cool!"
"We've had quite a few military achievements, could you give us one?"
Hearing that the soldiers were envious, Gu Zhan snorted coldly and clenched his fist, "You wish."
Seeing Gu Zhan's reaction, the soldiers immediately started shouting, "Could this ring be one of a kind?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan immediately pictured the little girl's charming smile and nodded.
"That's right, I'm the only one in the whole world with this one."
After a pause, Gu Zhan looked around and asked, "Don't tell me you're trying to take my things?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had been laughing and joking immediately ran away, and no one dared to mention the matter again.
What a joke! Fighting a general? You'd be crippled if you didn't die!
Xu Nian led the main force forward again.
After leaving the mountain where they had rested, they followed the map and walked along the road, but they couldn't find their way out for a long time.
"Huh?"
Xu Nian looked at the map in her hand with suspicion, examined it again and again, and was sure that she had not gone to the wrong place.
The village chief then came over and repeatedly assured him, "I bought this at a high price; it's stamped with an official seal, so there's absolutely no mistake."
As he spoke, he pointed to the royal seal in the corner of the map.
Xu Nian nodded in understanding and got up to survey the surroundings.
It rained a little last night, and the ground is wet right now; you'll get muddy after just a few steps.
Xu Nian rolled up his trouser legs and continued walking forward for a while, and then he discovered a bamboo grove.
The bamboo in the bamboo forest grew lushly, and there seemed to be many bamboo shoots buried underneath, which was a pleasant surprise.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian turned around and led the main force to this location.
"Let's all rest here today. We can dig up some bamboo shoots and cut some bamboo to use later!" Xu Nian said with a smile.
Bamboo is a wonderful thing; it's not only tough but can also be used to make all sorts of things.
After hearing Xu Nian's words, the villagers also became interested, clearly knowing that bamboo has many benefits.
Everyone got up and started moving around, leaving only the elderly and women and children to rest.
Da Bao and Er Bao volunteered and rushed into the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots, asking with drooling mouths, "Sister, can we eat this tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded without hesitation, "Of course, eat however you want!"
Xu Nian's philosophy of life doesn't contain many decent theories; the only one she firmly believes in is enjoying the happiness of the present moment.
So when she transmigrated, she didn't forget to bring a space full of things with her, for fear that she wouldn't live a good enough life.
"Yay!"
The two children skipped and jumped around excitedly as they started pulling up bamboo shoots, getting mud all over their little faces.
Xu Nian didn't rush to wipe their faces. Instead, she watched their actions with a smile, feeling a strange sense of relief.
These two children used to be so thin that they would look at me as if I were their enemy.
Now, they are all very sensible, much stronger, and no longer treat her as an outsider.
While she was pondering, everyone had finished pulling up most of the items and started heading back to prepare dinner.
Da Bao and Er Bao looked at Xu Nian with expectant eyes, "Sister, let's go back!"
Hearing the sound, Xu Nian clapped her hands with a smile and was about to lift her foot when she suddenly heard a faint cry for help.
"Help!"
The sound was very faint, like a child sobbing.
Xu Nian's heart clenched immediately. She pulled Da Bao and Er Bao aside and instructed them, "You two go back first. Your older sister has some things to do."
Seeing her serious expression, Da Bao and Er Bao stopped arguing and obediently nodded before quickly running back.
Xu Nian immediately got up and went to look for the increasingly faint cries for help.
[Hey host, look to the right!]
With a large number of people in the live stream, they quickly located the source of the sound and alerted Xu Nian.
Immediately, Xu Nian stared intently at the scene, her heart leaping with shock.
Not far away, on the overgrown ground, lay a small, thin body. It looked like a child, no more than five or six years old.
Her body was covered in blood, with bruises and welts all over it, making her look extremely gruesome.
How could such a young child suffer such serious injuries?
How did you end up here?
