Chapter 74: Two Hours and Still Not Back
The remaining ten guards quickly carried the remaining sacks into the door, and together they lifted the bucket cart into the General's residence. They still stayed in front of the door to guard it, and only the captain of the guards returned to the cave.
Xie Zhizhi walked around the courtyard of the general's mansion with ease and came to the entrance of the cave.
"Xiaohei, do you get nervous when you see so many people?" She was afraid that the dog would have a stress response, especially for a dog that had never been out of the house.
Hei turned his head away and uttered a proud and arrogant "woof".
"Of course not!"
"Okay." She grabbed the ladder and slid down into the cave.
껗頭꺶黑 looked at his master who had left him behind, raised his head unhappily, then lowered his head to look at the distance to the bottom of the cave, it was not very high, and if he jumped down like this he would almost reach the bottom.
So, Xie Zhizhi stood still, and the black man on his head had already jumped down.
Use your limbs to push, don't even use the ladder, just jump down!
She was stunned. What kind of breed was this dog? Its Qinggong was even better than hers!
After it got dark, I saw a crowd of people coming over. I was not tall enough, so all I could see were legs. I called my master, took a step back and hid behind her.
"Thank you for the cotton-padded clothes and quilt, Miss!"
"Miss, how nice!"
"Miss, are you having lunch?"
"Miss, are you giving these to your subordinates so that they can wear them themselves?"
The guards stood in front of her, their faces respectful and grateful.
At first, the guards and servants knew that the young lady had sent warm clothes for the cart, and they were grateful and cried excitedly.
Just because their bodies were not so cold, they were all practicing martial arts by the fire, hoping to warm their bodies.
Today, the edge of the cave is filled with sacks, more than 160 of them. When they are opened one by one, they are filled with 5-centimeter-thick cotton-padded coats and trousers, thick cloth boots, sheepskin hats, and 10-20-centimeter-thick quilts. The quality is excellent. How can we not be moved?
"I've eaten, no need to thank me. I'll need your food soon, so just don't complain about being tired then." Xie Zhizhi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly. He turned around and saw that they couldn't see through him, "Go and put on your food."
"Okay! Miss, just tell me what you want to say!"
Everyone in the family said in unison. When they heard that the young lady needed them, they were immediately full of energy. They stopped talking nonsense and ran to put on their clothes. There were 150 people on the scene, and more than a dozen of them were still recovering from their injuries and had already covered themselves with quilts in advance.
There were three cotton-padded clothes in a sack. People lined up to get the clothes and put them on quickly.
Everyone in the cave wore warm cotton-padded clothes, cotton pants, quilted cloth boots, and a woolen hat. Their frozen red faces all showed happy smiles.
The captain of the guard patted his thick cotton-padded jacket, which was a warm new piece of clothing, and said to her happily, "Miss, I have good news to tell you. We have ten more awakened people in our group. Didn't it rain again after you left yesterday?"
"You said that getting caught in the rain would level up, so everyone rushed there, and ten of them suddenly developed high fevers. Then the court doctor gave them medicine, and as they gradually got better, they discovered that they had awakened their water powers."
"That's great, but you still need to take care of yourself and don't try to be too brave." Xie Zhizhi nodded. In fact, the easiest thing to upgrade is the water system because it rains frequently, but if there is a lot of hail, the upgrade will be much slower.
The housekeeper assured, "Don't worry, Miss. The housekeeper will take good care of them. He called them down half an hour ago yesterday."
She sat on the stool brought by the captain of the guards, and Hei squatted beside her. "Is someone out looking for something again?"
"Yes, the team of thirty people went out. They were wearing more clothes, so it was okay."
The chief guard specially arranged for the servants to use incense to judge the passage of time. Thinking that they had been out for two hours, he said, "They left earlier, two hours later, they should be back by now."
"How many awakened people are there here?" Xie Zhizhi wanted to see if anyone wanted to upgrade.
The chief guard looked around and asked those who were called to wake up to stand in front. "Add my subordinates. There are twenty of them in total. Ten of them are guarding outside."
The captain of the guards noticed that the black dog beside the young lady was very spirited, so he raised his eyebrows comically and wanted to tease it. However, the dog seemed to have psychic powers, and proudly raised its chin, turned away, and ignored his feelings.
The captain of the guards laughed secretly.
It is indeed the young lady's pet, so different from others.
"Then let them come over here."
Xie Zhizhi summoned twenty awakened people to come in front of her. All the guards were nervous. There was also a maid who was very pretty and looked at her with admiration.
"Show your divine powers to me."
Everyone did as they were told, and a slight fluctuation appeared in the air, with water balls or ice cones appearing from the bodies of every awakened person.
A faint glow slowly rose from their hearts, while the ordinary people behind them looked on with envy and admiration.
