Everything was arranged perfectly, how could something like this suddenly happen!
Tang Jian looked at the guard with urgent eyes:
"Where is he? Is he alright?"
"Reporting to the general, he is alright! It's just..." the guard said, his words trailing off.
Tang Jian felt slightly relieved and turned to look at Lin Zao:
"Madam, please continue playing with the children here. I'll head back now! Don't worry! I'll handle it!"
After speaking, Tang Jian mounted the horse led by the guard, gave Lin Zao and the children a reassuring look, and then turned to give instructions to Sun Ding and the others.
"Take good care of the lady and her young masters and ladies!"
"yes!"
Watching Tang Jian and his men leave at top speed, Lin Zao suppressed his worries, hoping nothing serious would happen, otherwise Aunt Ren...
The children didn't know who the guard was talking about, but judging from the adults' expressions, they could tell how serious the situation was.
"Auntie, let's go back too! We've already gotten so much."
Lin Zao glanced at Hu Tou and Ya Ya, and saw that they were both looking at her nervously. She knew that her emotional outburst had frightened them.
"I'm fine, don't worry! Even if we go back, there's nothing we can do to help. If you still want to play, you can continue. There's no need to rush!"
Seeing that Lin Zao's complexion had returned to normal, Xiao Bao was relieved. "Then, Auntie, can we go to the estate to see those farmlands?"
Xiao Bao had overheard his father and mother talking about what vegetables were available for picking on the estate that morning. Seeing how much they valued it, he really wanted to go and see.
Tiger Head and Ya Ya always followed Xiao Bao, and when Xiao Bao said he wanted to go, they both raised their hands in agreement.
"Alright! Since you both want to go, it's settled then! Let's grab something to eat here first, and then head over!"
Fortunately, they brought some dry food with them when they came. The group ate quickly and easily, packed their things, and prepared to go down the mountain.
Lin Zao looked back at the wild boars in the guards' hands, feeling somewhat troubled. It would be difficult to handle so much meat if she took it back!
Lin Zao's mind raced for a moment. "Sun Ding, send a few men to your camp to deliver these two wild boars as an extra dish for the soldiers!"
Sun Ding didn't expect Lin Zao to think of this. In fact, the soldiers in the military camp were having a very hard time.
In these years of famine, no one dares to eat their fill, and it's even more difficult to have meat!
Therefore, Sun Ding was extremely grateful for Lin Zao's decision:
"On behalf of the soldiers of the camp, I thank you, Madam!"
Lin Zao shook her head. She knew these people had suffered hardships. Although she had a lot of supplies in her space, now was not the time to take them out.
She'll help in an emergency, not in a life of poverty! If that day ever comes, she won't be stingy.
Looking at the remaining wild boar, pheasant, and rabbit, they said, "We'll give half of this wild boar to the people on the estate, and the rest we'll share with the prince!"
They come here to hunt mainly to eat something fresh, and they'll just leave a little to taste.
The group descended the mountain and arrived at the place where the carriages were parked. Cheng Wang's carriage was gone, leaving only Lin Zao and his companions.
Following Lin Zao's instructions, Sun Ding first sent half a pig to Jiang Fu, the person in charge of the estate, to distribute it. Then he found a vehicle and had someone transport the pork to the military camp.
Jiang Fu was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Zao again, since Lin Zao had been in charge of guiding them in planting these new crops in the beginning.
Even though they now know that the real owner of the estate is Princess Cheng, their attitude towards Lin Zao has not changed at all; on the contrary, they respect and admire her even more.
It's been over two months since these seeds were planted, and judging from their current growth, the future harvest will be quite substantial.
Just look at the yields of the few vegetables that are already ripe—it's unprecedented!
Only then did they realize what these new types of grains and vegetables meant!
