Gan Cao was efficient and knew that Ning Xi'er needed it urgently, so he grabbed whatever he could find.
She threw stones into the woods, startling a flock of birds. Then she took out a slingshot from the carriage, which they had made themselves in their spare time after Ning Xi'er bought some beef tendons.
In an instant, two sparrows landed, and Gan Cao was presented to Ning Xi'er.
He was hit by a stone and was bleeding, but it wasn't fatal.
Ning Xi'er instructed Gan Cao to place two sparrows in the rooms of the First Madam and the Second Madam respectively, and to retrieve them later.
The commotion on Licorice's side was noticed by many people.
From the moment she hunted the bird until she returned to Ning Xi'er's side, many people assumed they were going to eat the bird meat and became curious.
Having not eaten for half a day and having been frightened twice, Xu was extremely hungry.
Ning Xi'er didn't deliberately avoid it. She casually looked around and, sure enough, saw that tall and slender figure.
Licorice was clever and roughly guessed what Ning Xi'er was going to do, so she was able to avoid everyone's attention.
When she brought the sparrows in, she simply placed them in the corner of the wall; when she came out, she used her back to shield everyone.
Therefore, no one else knows what happened.
Just as Ning Xi'er had predicted, the wounds from the stones hitting the two sparrows were bleeding profusely, almost staining their entire bodies, and their eyes were nearly closed...
Ning Xi'er followed suit, applying the hemostatic powder to her fingertips and pressing it onto the sparrow's wound...
After several attempts, the bleeding from the sparrow finally stopped.
Haitang handed over the water pouch, and Ning Xier poured some of the spiritual spring liquid into both sparrows, then rinsed off the blood from their bodies...
Soon, the two sparrows slowly opened their eyes, which were bright and clear, and their feathers were glossy and shiny.
Two sparrows can't fill a tooth gap, and besides, Ning Xi'er's space has even more delicious food.
So Ning Xi'er asked Gan Cao to find a place to release the two sparrows.
Ning Xi'er cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground with medicinal powder.
The rooms of the First Madam and the Second Madam were naturally cleaned by Ning Xi'er's purifying powder.
Ning Xi'er glanced at the figure not far away, talking with Eunuch Xu, and lowered her eyes.
Perhaps he felt guilty, or perhaps his intuition was exceptionally sharp...
Xu Yan turned around and saw Ning Xi'er looking at him expressionlessly. He was surprised and asked, "Your Highness, did you want to see me?"
Grandpa Xu also walked over with a smile.
Ning Xi'er smiled, her expression returning to normal. "No, I was just momentarily distracted..."
Seeing the servants brewing the medicine, Eunuch Xu asked, "Your Highness, once the medicine is ready, can His Highness drink it directly?"
Ning Xi'er smiled and nodded, her eyes fixed on Xu Yan's changing expression.
In front of Ning Xi'er, Xu Yan's performance was impeccable, without a single fault.
That makes sense. Xie Zhun is a cautious person, and Eunuch Xu sees through him perfectly. He must be no ordinary person to have been able to infiltrate Eunuch Xu's side for so long.
Just like his methods, even if Ning Xi'er could describe the little boy's symptoms and the haunting of these rooms, she still wouldn't be able to correct him.
After all, the house was old and had a musty smell of decay, so no one could point to the air and say that the toxic gas was released by the herbs that Xu Yan was burning.
Ning Xi'er just walked around the whole place, but didn't find any special herbs.
Perhaps a few of those plants that Xu Yan used just happened to grow on the spot, or perhaps...
Actually, it was something he had prepared in advance and brought ahead of time.
This person is cunning and scheming; the herbs will only work on people who already have wounds or are poisoned.
These rooms were clearly prepared for the masters.
It was uncertain which room Xie Zhun would stay in. Perhaps Xie Zhun's modesty was already within his expectations, so he ended up staying in several rooms.
What a fitting reason: to pollute the air and repel insects...
Besides that, Ning Xi'er thought of another place.
Ning Xi'er felt that the little boy looked familiar.
He hadn't thought of it before, after all, there were over four hundred family members among the bandits, but then a thought flashed through his mind, and seeing that You Yong had seen his brother off, maybe he even helped him bury the woman...
Suddenly I remembered that the child often played a role in You Yong's actions.
The child's mother and You Yong appear to be from the same family.
Ning Xi'er remembered him not only because You Yong was a bandit leader and she paid more attention to him...
When You Yong discussed matters with Zheng Chengguang and Zheng Ye, he rarely brought his wife and children with him.
Back at the bandit camp, there was a large group of people. He often patrolled around like Zheng Ye. In addition, the old and young were also divided into carriages, so Ning Xi'er's chances of distinguishing their families were not very high.
But the night before they bought the large number of carriages, the bandits and their families slept on the floor. Ning Xi'er glanced at them and found it quite strange...
You Yong and the woman were on separate bedding, not connected in the middle, with enough space for several adult men to sleep.
It looks more like You Yong is sleeping alone.
There was a child between the two women, or more accurately, a child on the woman's bedding, nestled close to her.
This must be the little boy I met today.
She frowned slightly, thinking that You Yong was aloof and not close to his wife and children...
But looking back now, it has a deeper meaning...
