“Ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!”
When Lin Yiran heard the urgent alarm, her heart skipped a beat. Her first reaction was that something might have happened to her brother while he was flying the plane.
She quickly opened the green bubble and took a look.
"Xiao Linghui!?"
"Why is it this little girl?"
Lin Yiran was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Linghui's profile picture suddenly flashing.
All the avatars of the Xiao family were lit up, except for Xiao Linghui.
She thought the child didn't want anything, but she didn't expect it to light up at this time.
She has been busy with the government affairs in the past two months and has not heard from the two little girls for a long time. She doesn't know what the child suddenly wants.
She was quite curious about what Ling Hui's online name would be after she lit up her avatar.
Lin Yiran smiled and clicked on Xiao Linghui's profile picture out of curiosity.
.........
Yongchang State.....
"Sister, when can we go out?!"
Xiao Lingyan's face was dirty, and she looked at the bare hilltop with tears in her eyes.
Oh my God, someone please save them.
She and her sister took the Boy Scouts and took a shortcut to Xiliang Kingdom, winding their way into the mountains.
At first she was very excited because the mountain was so familiar, very much like the mountain her family passed by when they fled.
Thinking of the huge sweet potatoes growing in the mountains, she excitedly led the scouts straight into the mountains.
The result... imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
At first, my uncle and aunt were leading them over the mountains and across the hills very quickly, but when it was their turn...
Xiao Lingyan looked back with tears in her eyes.
The Boy Scout team dragged on for half the way up the mountain, and everyone was obviously feeling a little overwhelmed.
The dry food everyone brought was used up three days ago.
During these three days, everyone could only drink water to fill their stomachs, and their legs were shaking with hunger.
Xiao Linghui sighed and looked around from the bare top of the mountain.
Now they have reached a dilemma.
If they go back, all their efforts will be wasted, and they might even run into people sent by their uncle to capture them.
Go forward - alas, there is a high possibility of starving to death in the mountains. Who would dare to believe that we would climb over two mountains without finding any food.
It was obvious that they could climb mountains very quickly with their aunt before, but in the end they were exhausted after climbing for seven or eight days and only climbed over two peaks.
The dry food we had calculated was enough to last until we got to Shuitian City, but it was all eaten up before we even got out of the mountains.
Xiao Linghui pursed her lips, covered her hungry stomach with her hands, frowned and looked towards the foot of the mountain.
"Sister, I remember there seemed to be a former royal cemetery in front. The gravekeeper family lived there. There should be food there, right?"
When she followed her aunt to visit the underground imperial mausoleum, she had never seen what the above-ground imperial mausoleum looked like.
My uncle was so busy with state affairs and restoring agriculture that he didn't even think about the imperial tomb.
Since they were passing by, they decided to investigate for their uncle.
"Yes." Xiao Lingyan's eyes lit up. "The gravekeeper must have some food. Let's go get some more."
When she found the river where her aunt had rested before, she went to the nearby woods to dig up sweet potatoes, and everyone had dry food to eat.
Thinking of the soft, sweet sweet potatoes, she suddenly felt even hungrier.
Xiao Lingyan looked back at the Boy Scouts stretching halfway up the mountain and shouted,
"Everyone, hurry up and climb over this mountain. There will be food below. Everyone, hurry up and follow us."
Xie Qingheng, who was following closely behind Xiao Lingyan, turned around to help pass on the message, holding his hands to his mouth and shouting like a trumpet,
"Everyone hurry up, there is food ahead!!!"
The long, slowly moving queue paused for a moment when they heard "there's food", and then sped up.
Xiao Linghui looked at the team that was speeding up, then turned to look at the foot of the mountain.
"Sister, let's go. There should still be some wild animals in the deep mountains. Let's go ahead and clear them out."
If a scout encounters a hungry wild beast, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is not easy for her and her sister to protect so many people, so it is better to nip the danger in the bud.
It would be nice if we could kill a few wild beasts.
There was nothing to eat in the deep mountains in March. There was still unmelted snow on the top of the mountain, and no green grass could be seen.
Normally, you will encounter some wild animals when crossing two mountains.
But they encountered nothing. They thought it was because the drought was so severe that even the wild animals might have starved to death.
It's also possible that my aunt killed all the wild animals in this mountain range, so------
Xiao Linghui took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and ran quickly towards the foot of the mountain.
Xiao Lingyan looked at her running little sister and turned back to tell Xie Qingheng,
"You lead everyone to catch up quickly. My sister and I will go ahead and explore the way."
Before Xie Qingheng could respond, he saw Xiao Lingyan rush out on tiptoe.
“Be careful and stay safe!!!”
Xie Qingheng shouted anxiously at Xiao Lingyan's back.
Only when he could no longer see Xiao Lingyan did he turn around and look at the long line of Boy Scouts behind him.
Looking at the long queue that was wriggling like a worm again, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
It’s all because his martial arts skills are too weak and he can’t explore the way forward for his master.
Xie Qingheng clenched his fists in self-blame, feeling powerless.
He spent 9 out of 12 hours a day practicing martial arts, but he was still far behind his master.
His desire to protect his master reached its peak, but his ability could not keep up. This feeling made him feel extremely frustrated.
Xie Qingheng took a deep breath and urged loudly,
"Everyone hurry up and catch up!!!"
.......
"Sister, wait for me!"
Xiao Lingyan chased for a long time but still couldn't catch up with Xiao Linghui.
The distance between the two was about forty or fifty meters, and she felt uneasy, afraid that she would not be able to protect her sister in time.
Xiao Linghui rushed to the foot of the mountain in one breath, stopped and looked back.
The Boy Scout had just reached the top of the mountain and was crawling down the mountain. It seemed that it would take at least two or three hours to get down.
Xiao Linghui sighed, it would be good if the main force could reach the royal cemetery before sunset.
"Sister, the entrance to the imperial mausoleum is over there!"
Xiao Linghui waited until Xiao Lingyan flew to her side, then raised her hand and pointed to the entrance of the royal cemetery.
"Why does it look so---desolate!" Xiao Lingyan frowned slightly.
"Be careful, sister. Let's go over and take a look."
This is different from the royal cemetery she imagined.
Why is there no one guarding the gate of the royal cemetery?
Xiao Linghui nodded, and put her small hand on the whip at her waist, "Sister, you should be careful too."
She could feel that there was no one around. As for whether there was anyone inside the imperial tomb, she would have to wait and see.
Xiao Lingyan drew the sword from her waist and took Xiao Linghui towards the royal cemetery.
