The day the incident occurred was the second day that the group had been camped on the mountain.
After the people were settled, Zheng Chengguang sent a group of people to investigate the landslide site.
The rest of the people, under Zheng Ye's arrangement, patrolled the mountain and kept watch, while also replenishing supplies on the mountain.
Zheng Ye was exceptionally sharp and agile in his reactions when confronting the enemy...
However, during the recovery and recuperation phase, it appeared somewhat clumsy and reckless.
Just as Ning Xi'er reminded them, they should find a suitable opportunity to sever ties with the bandits and their families as soon as possible...
In just one night, the bandits were already feeling encouraged, both in terms of defense deployment and the arrangement of personnel to patrol and keep watch.
Some people were slightly dissatisfied and complained to You Yong in private.
You Yong's eyes were deep and he remained silent.
The next day, You Yong and his brothers wandered around the mountains, preparing to hunt some wild game to improve the children's meals...
Although the food served in the communal kitchen wasn't bad, given the large number of people, everyone tried to restrain themselves in terms of both appetite and needs.
They were used to the wild life in the mountains and liked to eat meat in large quantities, but they couldn't get used to wild vegetables and various kinds of porridge.
On the day of the landslide, You Yong bought a lot of longbows and beef tendons from Anping. They used the local materials, sharpened tree branches as arrowheads, and hunted a lot of prey.
Among them, You Yong caught the most pheasants and rabbits, and also caught a few hedgehogs and wild boars.
You Yong carried a small wild boar and two pheasants to Ning Xi'er's maid, Haitang.
Ning Xi'er was performing acupuncture on Xie Zhun. Haitang initially declined, but since her mistress wasn't present, she wasn't sure if she could accept the offer.
But You Yong insisted that it was a gift of gratitude for the princess saving his son yesterday...
After much thought, Haitang remembered that her mistress had been working tirelessly for days and had taken a liking to the two pheasants, wanting to give Ning Xi'er something to nourish her body...
Therefore, I accepted it on their behalf.
Ning Xi'er spent a relatively long time in Xie Zhun's car, and in addition to acupuncture, she also taught Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian the massage techniques for Xie Zhun.
The last time, two of the church's servants were attacked and killed during the landslide.
Seeing this, Xu Yan, who had originally volunteered, said that he was skilled in massage and had often massaged Xu's back before...
However, Ning Xi'er politely declined, citing that it would take up his time.
"After the previous massage, the prince's leg muscles have been greatly relieved and are no longer as weak as before..."
As she spoke, she massaged Xie Zhun's calves and lifted his robe to show them.
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian remained expressionless, but were secretly observing Xie Zhun's expression.
Once upon a time...
The prince was extremely averse to others looking at his legs; it was practically his Achilles' heel!
Judging from the princess's actions, she clearly flirted with him quite often, and the prince didn't seem displeased...
The two were puzzled, but then felt relieved.
Xu Yan also subtly observed Xie Zhun and Ning Xi'er, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"After the veins are cleared, the frequency of massage should be increased, not only on the calves, but also on the whole body."
After all, Xie Zhun lacks exercise, and if his muscles atrophy, it won't just be his legs.
Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian nodded solemnly.
"A full-body massage twice a day, morning and evening, takes at least an hour and a half. It's certainly time-consuming; Young Master Xu must have more important matters to attend to..."
Ning Xi'er said solemnly.
After a moment's thought, Eunuch Xu nodded and advised Xu Yan, "The Prince knows you have feelings for him! Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian are already by the Prince's side; they can help with the pressing..."
"You should cooperate with the two generals and do your best in other matters!"
Xu Yan nodded respectfully.
He glanced at Ning Xier and seemed to sense her wariness of him.
Xu Yan smiled without saying a word, but he had another plan in mind.
Ning Xi'er demonstrated the massage to Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian, and then watched them practice it themselves, providing guidance and corrections.
After the two got off the carriage, Ning Xi'er was shocked to find that Xie Zhun's calves were covered in bruises from being pinched by Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian!
"These two people!"
Ning Xi'er was annoyed and almost blurted it out.
Suddenly, I heard a soft laugh from above.
She looked up and saw Xie Zhun looking at her with bright eyes and a smile.
Ning Xi'er suddenly felt embarrassed and annoyed, and said to cover it up, "With hands and feet like that, let alone a few days, if you keep pressing for two more days, you might break your leg bone!"
Ning Xi'er's voice was not low, and Xuan Lei and Xuan Dian outside the carriage heard it and shrank their necks, feeling very guilty.
"I won't pursue this since you're a beginner today, but if you keep doing it like this starting tomorrow, you'll really embarrass me!"
Xie Zhun's smile deepened.
Ning Xi'er felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. "What are you laughing at?"
Xie Zhun stretched out and pulled her up from the edge of the car, patted the seat next to her, and told her to sit down and rest.
Ning Xi'er had just picked up the water pouch, thinking of replenishing her strength...
Just as she took her first sip, she felt Xie Zhun naturally take her other hand in his...
He was actually massaging her finger joints?!
Ning Xi'er almost spat out the spiritual spring liquid in her mouth!
She choked a little, and then those cool, warm fingers instantly moved to her back, gently patting her a few times...
Ning Xi'er's face turned red...
I wondered what a bizarre scene this was...
