Chapter 202 Xiao Quanzi still has a breath left
Rationally speaking, Sheng Sheng is more inclined to wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking any action.
However, Xie Yunqi's concerns were not unfounded. What if Xiao Quanzi was just one breath away from death?
After thinking it over, Sheng Sheng made a decision.
"Brother Lu Chi, let Sheng Sheng go down and scout ahead. Keep an eye on Fifth Brother and wait for reinforcements here. If anything goes wrong, Sheng Sheng will shout for help. Don't worry about Sheng Sheng."
After saying that, the little dumpling lifted her skirt and pulled out a plank from somewhere. She put the plank on the slope, sat down on it, and slid down the slope in one go.
Be brave and fearless in the face of difficulties!
Things happened so suddenly that Xie Yunqi was still feeling sad and grieving, and hadn't even realized where the wooden plank she had escaped from came from. She looked blankly at the crowd behind her.
Everyone looked down blankly and searched around, but saw nothing.
Xie Yunqi: "Huh? Where did this plank come from?"
Zijuan was almost in tears: "The important thing isn't the plank, the important thing is my princess, why did she rush down there!"
Lu Chi's expression was solemn, his gaze following the moving sounds. He said in a deep voice, "You guys wait here, I'll go around and take a look!"
How could he just watch Sheng Sheng rush forward alone? Whether out of personal motives or his duty as a subject, he couldn't just stand by and watch the princess impulsively rush ahead.
Although Lu Chi knew that Sheng Sheng wasn't an impulsive person and that she must have her own reasons for doing this, he still couldn't just listen to her and stand by and watch her face danger.
Lu Chi quickly retreated to where they had come from, searching for another path leading to the bottom of the slope.
The little boy struggled to sit on the wooden plank, bumping and sliding down the slope, his two small hands occasionally waving the front of the plank to control his direction.
"Whoo-hoo~"
You know what, it's actually quite fun. Even though the means of transportation is just a wooden plank, it's still incredibly fast.
If it weren't for the numerous potholes on this slope, requiring constant changes of direction to avoid falling in, sliding down the slope smoothly would have been incredibly thrilling.
The little dumpling looked amazed, her hair was blown behind her by the wind, and her whole body was filled with the joy of being stimulated by this novel way of playing.
If you ignored the few people at the bottom of the slope, passersby would really think it was a naughty and daring child playing around here.
The little dumpling made no attempt to conceal its movements and sounds. Upon hearing the commotion, the two men at the bottom of the slope immediately became alert. The short and thin man quickly hid the bundle in front of him behind his back, while the tall and strong man drew his long sword and stood in front of the other man.
"who!?"
Gao Zhuang narrowed his eyes, staring intently and warily at the source of the noise.
Ai Shou packed his bags and stood up to find the clump that had slid down the hillside.
The group was happily enjoying the thrill of the cold wind, their big white teeth showing as they laughed, constantly shouting "woohoo" and "waaaah," as if they were so engrossed in their play that they had forgotten all about the world around them.
After realizing that the noise came from a seemingly harmless little girl who appeared to be simply passing by and playing, Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou immediately relaxed.
The two exchanged a glance, and their bodies visibly relaxed.
Gao Zhuang did not put down his sword, but kept looking at Sheng Sheng and carefully examined her.
Gao Zhuang whispered to Ai Shou, who was a head shorter than him, "Judging from their clothes, they should also be from the palace."
Ai Shou glanced quickly at Xiao Quanzi, who had been knocked unconscious and was barely breathing, and asked warily, "Could it be that this eunuch's master came looking for him because he hasn't been home for a long time?"
The eunuch's master was the princess.
Gao Zhuang immediately began to think. He had narrow eyes and eyebrows that slanted inwards. When he squinted, he looked shifty and sneaky.
Gao Zhuang gave Ai Shou a look.
Ai Shou hesitated, his face showing doubt, and said hesitantly, "This is not a good idea. This eunuch probably won't survive either. We've already made moves against people in the palace. What if the palace investigates... This eunuch isn't a big deal, but if this is really a princess in the palace, are you really not afraid that the emperor will behead you if we dare to make a move?"
"Since we're already here, and we've run into each other, why not go all the way? If this girl really is a princess from the palace, wouldn't we be able to squeeze a hefty sum out of her?"
"Are you crazy? If she really is a princess, are you trying to blackmail the emperor?! I don't want to die yet. We've already beaten a eunuch to death, and we've taken everything of value from him. Let's hurry up and leave!"
Gao Zhuang remained silent, seemingly considering Ai Shou's words.
After a moment, reason prevailed over desire.
"That's true. No matter how much money you have, you can't spend it if you're dead. We've already stolen the Rejuvenating Herb from Doctor Shen. The number of Rejuvenating Herbs left in the world can probably be counted on one hand, and no one has sold one in decades. With just this one herb, we can live a life of comfort and security!"
Ai Shou breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, let's hurry up and go."
"Alright, let's hurry up and leave before that little brat notices us."
After a brief conversation, the two completely disregarded the little dumpling, Sheng Sheng. They grabbed the bundle hidden behind their backs, glanced at the unconscious Quan Zi in the pit, and prepared to flee the place.
To their surprise, just as the two turned around, they heard a cheerful voice: "Hello~"
The little dumpling slid all the way to the bottom, subtly shifting its direction towards the big pit where Xiao Quanzi was, and finally came to a steady stop where Gao Zhuang and Ai Shou had just been standing.
Seeing that the two men had run several meters away with a light touch of their toes, he realized that they were indeed skilled in martial arts; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to attack the palace people so boldly next to the Shanglin Hunting Ground.
Sheng Sheng glanced at the bundle in the short man's hand, then quickly looked away, instantly transforming into an innocent little girl, smiling sweetly and saying, "Don't go! Why don't you guys play with Sheng Sheng? Sheng Sheng is so bored all by herself."
The two of them didn't stop moving at all; they just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Sheng Sheng frowned slightly, as if she wanted to leave.
If you leave, what will happen to our little Quanzi?
Sheng Sheng saw that Xiao Quanzi, who was lying face down in the pit, seemed to have been severely beaten. His clothes were all wrinkled and torn in several places.
His face was bruised and swollen, with blood flowing from his nose and mouth, making him look quite horrifying.
Sheng Sheng squatted down and deftly placed her finger under Xiao Quanzi's nose to check; he was still breathing, but very weakly.
Xiao Quanzi is not dead, he still has a breath left!
