Chapter 53 Groundwater



Chi Xingyue really didn't mean to provoke the couple to fight.

But now, what should I do about the secret joy I feel?

He hurried forward to help and secretly pinched Gu Youlian several times.

The old lady and Geng Suhua both discovered it, but unfortunately no one stopped it.

Who made this idiot beat his own grandson (son)?

As for Shu Muyun, well, it was a good thing she didn't go up and kick him twice.

Where is the face of their second branch if they slander Chi Xingyue like this?

The food and drinks we had along the way were like feeding an ungrateful person!

He exchanged a glance with the old lady, and the meaning in his eyes was clearly: "Xingyue knows all this? Ji Heng has found a treasure!"

"You Lian, how dare you hit your own husband? Even if Ji Ren taught you a lesson, he was just pretending. How dare you scratch his face?"

Liang Zhijun's voice interrupted the exchange of glances between the two.

A group of female relatives came up to help, but they all took sides.

Not only did he control Gu Youlian, he also twisted her.

Gu Youlian cried out in pain and tried to struggle, but she couldn't.

It was not until a moment later that Geng Suhua helped the man up.

Looking at his son's messy clothes and the shallow scratches on his face, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Youlian.

"I've wanted to beat you up for a long time. You ate a lot and pooped a lot on the way, and you didn't even help take care of the family. Ji Ren is so unlucky to marry you!"

Gu Youlian sobbed and felt extremely wronged.

But when he calmed down, he felt guilty, afraid that the Ling family would divorce him and throw him into exile.

Chi Xingyue returned to Ling Jiheng, feeling quite proud.

After the man held her hand and checked to see if she was injured, she said embarrassedly, "She messed with me first!"

"I know!" Ling Jiheng said in a steady voice, raising his hand to rub Chi Xingyue's little yellow hair.

Chi Xingyue sighed, rubbed his hair, and felt upset.

I don't know what's wrong. I eat eggs, milk, and meat every day, but I don't grow taller. Even the little yellow hair on my head hasn't turned black.

"Maybe it's the sun!" Ling Jiheng made an excuse for her.

Chi Xingyue nodded, took out a small box from his sleeve, raised his hand and waved, calling Wan Chunqin, who was sitting in the corner like a transparent person, to come over.

"Hey, this is medicine for wounds, you..."

Wan Chunqin nodded, full of gratitude to Chi Xingyue.

She stood up and walked to Ling Jiren, mocking Gu Youlian for being ignorant, and applying medicine for him with heartache.

Chi Xingyue was very satisfied after seeing this and even raised an eyebrow at Ling Jiheng.

To be honest, she really didn't like concubines and maids, but since Gu Youlian was so shameless, she had to fight back.

However, the double standards are obvious enough.

Seeing the tenderness and sweetness over there, Chi Xingyue smiled.

Turning around, he said viciously, "Ling Jiheng, if you dare flirt with other women, watch out for your third leg!"

"No!" Ling Jiheng was not angry at all. He pinched Chi Xingyue's face affectionately.

The little fairy was so angry that her cheeks puffed up, and then he let go with satisfaction.

***

For the exile team and the sword-wielding guards, food shortage is not a big deal. The biggest problem now is the lack of water.

After the long journey and the wildfire, the exiled prisoners had no water to urinate, let alone other things to replenish their water.

Gao Hongbin and his friends did have some, but people are selfish. How could they not leave a way out for themselves and hand over the water bag to this group of strangers?

After finishing the dried meat, he wandered around in the cave and suddenly became interested in the end of the cave.

What if they can bypass the wildfire over there, can they continue on their journey?

With this idea in mind, Gao Hongbin and Ling Jiheng borrowed firewood, made a torch, and took people to explore the cave.

Chi Xingyue was very curious, but did not urge Ling Jiheng to follow.

She has lived two lives and knows that there are some things that you can't be too curious about, otherwise you will lose your life.

But if Gao Hongbin left, he would feel more relaxed and no longer have to be on guard against being caught.

He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he took off his shoes and started walking.

Leaning against the mountain wall, I could feel the warmth of the stones.

With Ling Jiheng's help, she ate some grapes and a few rice balls the size of quail eggs.

The feeling of fullness from the food made her smile. After she was half full, she drank a few sips of milk.

It’s a pity that there are too many people here and I can’t brush my teeth.

I don’t know if I can still keep these teeth after I leave the mountains.

Time passed little by little, and it was around 3:30 in the morning when Gao Hongbin's men finally came out of the passage.

He was soaked to the skin, his face beaming with joy as he excitedly shared with everyone: "There's a hidden river at the bottom of the cave. Come with me to get some water!"

These words, like a drop of water in a frying pan, made everyone explode.

Chi Xingyue had fallen asleep, but was still awakened by everyone's cheers, and then saw everyone walking towards the cave excitedly.

"What's going on?" Chi Xingyue was confused and her voice was soft.

Ling Jiheng raised his hand to smooth over the loose hair on her forehead: "It's okay, Mr. Gao discovered underground water, and everyone went to fetch water."

Chi Xingyue's sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he said excitedly: "Then why are you still standing there? Let's go too!"

Ling Jiheng was stunned for two seconds and muttered, "I thought you weren't interested."

"How could that be? I've never seen what underground water looks like, especially this kind in a cave. I just don't know if there are any fish."

Ling Jiheng understood that Chi Xingyue was just trying to join in the fun. He smiled and indulged, "Okay, let's go too!"

However, he was not so anxious. Instead, he waited until everyone had left before following behind with the water bag.

The Ling family did not go out in full force. Like other families, they left half of their people behind to guard the place.

The old man and the old lady definitely needed to rest. Besides, Ling Weiyuan, Ling Weicheng and Ling Weicun had to look after the luggage and take care of the elderly, so they didn't leave either.

The kids were all tired and lay on the ground, sleeping soundly.

Gu Youlian used the excuse of taking care of the children and refused to move.

He only told Wan Chunqin: "Add more water, or I will beat you."

He really doesn't hide his true nature at all.

Chi Xingyue rolled his eyes at the other person and pulled Ling Jiheng away.

The light on the road was dim, and she quietly fed Ling Jiheng.

Things like hibiscus cake, almond pastry, and steamed potatoes. Occasionally, if I feel like it, I'll feed him a piece of chocolate.

The main feature is to do whatever you want.

The space was also upgrading at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although no new areas were unlocked, the date forest was getting bigger and bigger.

Chi Xingyue picked the crispy dates and put them away. As for the others, he ignored them and hung them on the tree to dry naturally.

Chi Xingyue worked as she walked, relying on Ling Jiheng to hold her hand and guide her throughout the process.

Ling Jiyi and Ling Jihao were a little envious when they saw this.

I just don’t understand why such an outstanding second brother is so deeply in love with Chi Xingyue.

Although she has a good personality and is capable, she is very short and looks average.

As for origins, let's not talk about them. We're all the same anyway, and no one looks down on anyone.
