Wu Dayong seemed to recall some bad memories, and his face became a little grim.
"Those people started spreading rumors about me, saying that I was the reincarnation of a prodigy, capable of anything. If you could get me, I could help you get the throne."
"Someone secretly sold the layout of Qiancui Mountain, and some people have secretly joined the camp of some princes. But I didn't expect..."
"They actually brought their troops to break the old leader's formation, throwing the Qianren Alliance into chaos. They captured whoever they could, and those who could escape fled... I took advantage of the chaos and escaped in disguise."
Xia Manni was silent for a few seconds, then said, "It's not your fault."
Wu Dayong was a little surprised and looked at Xia Manni.
"Those people took advantage of the chaos to seek wealth and glory, and you blocked their path to wealth. So they dragged you down with them, saying you were a child prodigy and the leader of the alliance. As long as you agree, the entire Qianren Alliance will become a tool of the princes!"
"It's just that they didn't expect that you would refuse to give in, so they surrendered to the enemy for glory. You did nothing wrong in obeying your master's orders."
After Xia Manni finished speaking, she felt that her words might not carry enough weight, so she patted Wu Dayong's shoulder hard again.
Wu Dayong's heart was beating fast when he was photographed, and this woman spoke very nicely.
No one had ever told him this, and he always felt that if his master were still alive, the Qianren League would never have been harmed.
Xia Manni's words were like a life-saving elixir given to a dying person.
It made him feel happy and warm.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "It's the Fifth Prince who's searching the mountain now, and the other princes will probably be here too. We'll have to hide in this cave for a while..."
Xia Manni didn't think anything of it. She looked at Potato who was still lying there and nodded.
But something suddenly occurred to him, so he said, "Are you in disguise now too?"
Wu Dayong had a wicked smile on his face. He took out a small bottle of powder from his arms and smeared it on his face.
Then some muddy stuff was rubbed out.
He shouted, "Big Boy, get some water for Uncle Dayong."
Xia Manni and Wu Dayong did not avoid Dawa and other children in their conversation.
But the only ones who could understand everything were the eldest and second child.
The more Big Boy listened, the deeper his eyes became, unfathomable, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Erwa became more and more excited as he listened, and obviously wanted to continue listening to Wu Dayong's stories.
When Erwa heard Uncle Dayong asking for water, he snatched the water from Dawa's hand and handed it to him.
Wu Dayong washed his face with water, and Xia Manni was stunned.
Isn’t this even more awesome than modern cosmetics?
The original Wu Dayong was just a bit handsome, but his complexion was not fair and his eyes were not big.
His eyebrows used to be too dark, but now he looks not only a lot whiter, but also a lot more energetic.
He actually looks like a handsome young man.
If he were given a fan instead of having his arm in a sling, he would truly be a nobleman.
"What? Are you stupid?"
Wu Dayong waved his hand in front of Xia Manni and couldn't help but laugh. He didn't expect that this woman was a bit of a nymphomaniac.
But Xia Manni asked, "Can you give me some of this medicine powder?"
Wu Dayong:...
Neither Xia Manni nor Wu Dayong told or asked about future arrangements.
Xia Manni felt that when the time came, they would definitely separate.
Before going to bed, she encouraged Wu Dayong by saying, "Brother Wu, you are so outstanding and amazing. You know the art of Qimen Dunjia, can climb mountains and swim in the sea, and you can survive anywhere. You must live well."
After saying this, Xia Manni went back and fell asleep, but Wu Datong couldn't sleep all night because of this sentence.
The reason why Xia Manni told Wu Dayong this was because based on what she had learned, she felt that Wu Dayong seemed to have some suicidal tendencies.
Her guess was correct. Xia Manni's words did give Wu Dayong the courage to live.
Ever since his master passed away, he has been living in a daze.
At that time, he was in the cave and thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to meet the Xia family.
In this way, Xia Manni and Wu Dayong lived in the cave with their four children.
Since they took a lot of things from the village, it took them a lot of time just to pack and organize them.
But their cave became more and more warm because of this.
Each person's stone bed was covered with a quilt and a straw mat underneath.
There are oil lamps and torches in the cave, which are only extinguished when sleeping.
They also have all the food and provisions, but it is difficult to cook for so many people.
During this period, Potato has recovered a lot, but his limbs, like Wu Dayong's, cannot move freely.
Wu Dayong has learned how to cook from Da Wa during this period. Xia Manni and the children are not picky anyway, and the food tastes really good.
From time to time, there were sounds of soldiers passing by outside, and sometimes the sound of horse hooves.
Usually at this time of year, they would hide in the cave.
A month passed like this, and most of their food had been consumed.
Potato's spirits have been getting better and better, and he would bark a few times from time to time to have fun.
Only his limbs still need to be tied up, but Wu Dayong is already fine in comparison.
He had taken off the cloth bag that was hanging his arm, and he could not use great strength but could move freely.
For this reason, Wu Dayong specially cooked a few more dishes to thank Si Nier.
The next day, Wu Dayong said he wanted to take the children down the mountain to hunt and take a look at the situation below.
The smoked meat and vegetables we got from the village have been almost finished, so it’s a good time to replenish them.
Wu Dayong specifically said that he wanted to teach the children archery. In addition to the bows and arrows he got from the Xia family, he also got from the mountain village.
Ten days have passed since the last time I heard the sound of soldiers.
Wu Dayong took everyone from the Xia family and set a trap first.
Then find the places where hares often appear and start teaching them.
Just as they were hiding in the grass, a gust of wind suddenly blew up for some reason.
You know, there hasn't been any wind for five months since it stopped raining.
Xia Manni and Wu Dayong looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes that they thought the wind was strange.
Wu Dayong, who originally wanted to kill a lot of people, only caught five rabbits and two pheasants, and said he would take them back.
The wind rustled the trees. Wu Dayong went down the mountain alone to take a look before returning to the cave.
"There are many people resting at the foot of the mountain. They look like people fleeing famine. I guess quite a few will be heading up the mountain. The wind outside isn't as strong as in the forest, but the sun isn't as scorching, and there are even a few clouds."
This phenomenon is really strange.
Xia Manni: "Is it going to rain?"
Wu Dayong nodded, obviously agreeing with Xia Manni's idea.
Sanwa: "Isn't rain a good thing, mother?"
Big Baby: "It's not a good thing if it doesn't rain when it should, and it rains when it shouldn't."
"Maybe we're just overthinking it."
Xia Manni laughed it off, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
