Chapter 12 What kind of princess is this little dumpling?
If the person is awake, the rope can be thrown to the bottom of the pit, and then he can tie himself up with the rope, and the people above can pull him up.
But the older boy in the pit fainted from fright. What should we do?
Huang Ying carefully moved away from the snakes. He couldn't see who was in the pit, but who else could be in this bamboo forest besides that young master Pei?
"Princess, how about I go into the pit, tie a rope around it, pull him up, and then pull me up too?"
Huang Ying carefully observed the depth of the pit. "But this pit is quite deep, and there's no slope. The only way to get in is to jump down or use a rope to lower me down. But there are so many sharp spikes down there. I don't know martial arts, so jumping down directly is definitely not an option. If we use a rope, who will pull it?"
Is it a little dumpling under five years old, or a Flame Amber that can only hold a rope in its mouth?
Or perhaps three snakes?
Obviously, neither is possible.
However, this problem did not stump Sheng Sheng.
"Then let's hang Sheng Sheng down!"
Sheng Sheng patted her chest, looking eager to try: "After I go down, I'll tie the rope for the big brother, and then he can pull me up when he comes back up. I'm so small and light!"
"No! Princess, there are too many sharp spikes in this pit. It must have been used to hunt small animals. It's too dangerous; you could easily get hurt!"
Huang Ying immediately rejected the idea, saying that her injuries had not yet fully healed and if she were to accidentally inflict new wounds, not only would His Highness not let her off the hook, but she herself would be heartbroken.
Huang Ying was starting to regret coming to the bamboo grove.
"It's alright, Sister Oriole. Sheng Sheng will be very quiet and careful, and won't let the thorns touch her."
The little guy is small in stature but big in mind; he took the bundle of rope and started untying it.
In Sheng Sheng's opinion, saving people is an extremely important thing, and those who save people are great heroes. Sheng Sheng can be a great hero too!
"But Princess..."
Huang Ying wanted to discuss it further, but Sheng Sheng had already straightened out part of the beginning of the rope and tied it around her waist.
Sheng Sheng wasn't strong enough and was afraid she wouldn't tie it tightly enough, and the rope would loosen. Huang Ying subconsciously reached out to help her tie it tighter.
But Huang Ying felt that this meant she was being allowed to do something so dangerous, so she kept pulling her hand back and forth.
“Princess, should I go find someone?” Huang Ying hesitated again. “But, but this man’s identity is a bit awkward… How can I explain that I brought the princess here and encountered him? And what will I do when others notice Your Highness’s identity? Oh dear…”
After a few moments of hesitation, Huang Ying had already tied the rope, put all her strength into making a knot, threw the other end of the rope onto Huang Ying, and jumped into the pit: "Then let's go, Sheng Sheng!"
"Hey, Princess, watch out!"
The oriole was startled, her heart leaped into her throat, and she quickly gripped the rope tightly.
"Yay—hey!" The little creature, having found its target, jumped lightly.
The pit was two and a half meters high, not too high, and the little dumpling jumped precisely onto the white-clad boy's lap.
The moment the foot touched him, a muffled groan could be heard from the boy.
Sheng Sheng quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, but if I had jumped to the ground, I would have died."
Sheng Sheng quickly climbed off him. Two footprints were now clearly visible on the boy's pale white clothes. Sheng Sheng apologized as she brushed the dust off with her small hands.
"Why did you faint? You must be feeling terrible. I've fainted before too. My head feels heavy, and I feel dizzy all over." Sheng Sheng said while untying the rope. "But big brother isn't as brave as me. I'm not afraid of snakes, hehe."
He muttered to himself, muttering to himself, and tossed the rope aside.
Sheng Sheng squatted down in front of Pei Ji and gently shook him: "Big brother, wake up, there are no snakes here anymore."
Through his clothes, the boy's burning body temperature reached Sheng Sheng's hands.
"It's so hot." Sheng Sheng looked at her palm.
Pei Ji had a terrible headache. He felt a pair of small hands shaking him and frowned in discomfort.
A soft whisper murmured in his ear, and Pei Ji struggled to open his eyes, meeting a pair of pure and innocent eyes.
Sheng Sheng was stunned, blinked, and remained motionless.
"Um?"
The little dumpling stopped moving and talking, just staring at him with slightly flushed cheeks, looking dazed.
Pei Ji found it somewhat amusing. "I didn't faint from fright."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
He nodded blankly.
Oh my god.
This older brother is even better looking than the older brother!
Xie Yunchuan is fifteen years old and already capable of leading a group on his own. He possesses the sharpness of a young man, as well as the composure to manage a big situation.
Pei Ji, who looked a little younger than Xie Yunchuan, was dressed in moon white and had a gentle and elegant demeanor that was completely opposite to Xie Yunchuan's.
The boy, who was just over ten years old, was still quite young, but his features were already very well-developed.
Her clothes looked ordinary, but they couldn't hide the air of nobility beneath her childish appearance.
Her peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, with a faint smile at the corners. Below her high nose bridge, her lips were pale pink. Although she had peach blossom eyes, she did not appear affectionate, perhaps because she was still young.
With a blink, is this older brother the one who lives inside the bamboo?
It really looks like bamboo!
"Why are you looking at me?" Pei Ji asked softly.
"ah……"
Just as Sheng Sheng was about to explain, Huang Ying called down, "Princess, how are you? Are you alright?"
"It's alright, Sister Huang Ying, but Big Brother's body is so hot."
"hot?"
Pei Ji kept his head down, and Huang Ying couldn't see his condition clearly, so she could only say, "Princess, let's pull him up first."
"Yes!" Sheng Sheng nodded vigorously.
Sheng Sheng turned around to look for the rope. Pei Ji's expression was dark and inscrutable as he frowned in thought.
Princess?
There is only one princess in the palace, Princess Xie Yunjia, born to Consort Xia, who is two years older than him. What kind of princess is this little dumpling?
Pei Ji's eyes were full of suspicion and wariness, but the moment the little dumpling turned around, all those emotions vanished.
Sheng Sheng struggled to take the rope, making a move to help him up, but Pei Ji subtly stepped aside and asked, "What does the princess want to do?"
"Let's tie you up."
Sheng Sheng even tugged at the rope in her hand to show him, which was very vivid and expressive.
Pei Ji: "?"
"How are you going to get up there if I don't tie you up?"
Sheng Sheng tilted her head and asked.
Pei Ji paused, noticing a mark on the waist of Sheng Sheng's dress, and figured that the little dumpling must have been born in the same way.
Pei Ji's head throbbed with a dazed pain, but he didn't dare lower his guard.
