Chapter 254 Wild Boar
"Okay, tell me now."
"The water in this bamboo tube...I used it to soak my feet."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly fell silent. The air was as still as death. Who could have imagined that such a cute little girl would do such a disgusting thing behind people's backs, giving people water to drink after soaking her feet? Is she still a human being? How disgusting!
Pei Ji glanced coldly at Zheng Yufu, whose face flushed red, and said to A Lin, "Feed her to drink it."
Zheng Yufu only had time to glance at Pei Ji in fear before A Lin grabbed her chin. Tears welled up in her eyes as she cried out, "I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I won't drink! Let me go! Let me go! Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."
A Lin followed the instructions and pinched Zheng Yufu's chin to force every drop of water down her throat. She forced herself not to swallow it, and her throat was choked. In the end, the water flowed out through her nose. Everyone took a step back in disgust.
After making sure that the water in the bamboo tube was clean, Alin shook her chin away and wiped it on his clothes as if he had touched something dirty.
Zheng Yufu collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted. She kept digging her throat with her fingers, trying to vomit out the water she had just drunk.
This was foot washing water. She had been running away for so long, and the sour smell of her feet was comparable to that of stale sauerkraut. She felt so nauseous at the moment that she almost vomited out her stomach.
"Dinner is ready."
Hearing that it was time to eat, everyone stopped paying attention to Zheng Yufu and rushed towards the fragrant potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Who still wants to care about Zheng Yufu?
Zheng Yufu had almost vomited enough that she felt like she was about to vomit out bile. She looked utterly miserable. She turned around in anger and looked for Song Ci in the crowd. She saw Pei Ji peeling a piece of hot sweet potato and handing it to her. Song Ci took it and began to eat it in small bites.
Thinking of her own experience and comparing it with Song Ci's, she seemed not to notice that her nails were digging deep into her flesh.
After eating, everyone rested on the spot.
Zheng Yufu was hungry, so she ran over to take a look, but found that there was nothing left in the pot.
She muttered, "Why didn't you leave some for me?"
The soldier lying next to him took a nap and opened one eye. "I've already drunk enough water for washing my feet, so why should I eat? There's no need to waste food."
"you!"
The soldier glanced at her and turned away without even looking at her.
Song Ci was in the carriage, holding the tea that Wanxiang had just brewed, and looked at Zheng Yufu through the curtain. The other person's eyes were filled with jealousy and resentment. She pulled the corners of her mouth slightly, not caring at all, raised the teacup in her hand, and provoked her from a distance.
With this kind of stuff and this kind of measurement, she is not as good as Song Rouxi.
What is there to fear?
Then we took a short rest and set off again. We didn't get a chance to catch our breath until the evening.
The post stations along the surrounding pipelines were affected by the war and could not open their doors to receive guests. For safety reasons, Pei Ji and his companions found a dilapidated temple to set up camp temporarily.
Pei Ji: "Arrange the night shifts. Make sure there's someone protecting everyone at all times."
Ah Lin: "Sir, I will give the order right away."
After saying that, he looked towards Song Ci, and saw her standing spotlessly in the dusty temple, with faint candlelight flickering in the dark night. She looked devoutly at the dilapidated Buddha statue, and finally stepped forward to pay her respects.
As her dress swayed, it accidentally picked up some dust.
"Alin, find someone to clean it up."
Before A Lin could react, he met Pei Ji's gaze and said, "Clean it up. There's too much dust. It might be uncomfortable to rest."
He didn't think much of it, just thinking it was his son's habit of being clean that had struck him again. It was just hard for him, there was no other way, he was his son, so he had to spoil him...
After wearing the clothes for a whole day, they were sticking to the body and making Song Ci feel uncomfortable, so he found a deserted place to change his clothes. As soon as he walked out, he noticed that the temple had been cleaned and it was no longer as dusty as before, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Thinking of resting at night, she suddenly smiled in a very good mood with dimples on her face. This scene happened to fall into Pei Ji's eyes. The corners of his eyes curved, revealing a rare tenderness.
A Lin beside him was stunned. He was slow to react but not stupid. The young master asked him to clean because of Miss Song.
That’s all…
Considering that everyone hadn't eaten meat for a long time and was in good condition for dinner, Pei Ji went into the woods to hunt himself.
Before leaving, he walked up to Song Ci and smiled, "Do you like pheasant or rabbit?"
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of cunning, "I don't like pheasants or rabbits."
"Oh? What do you like then?"
"I heard that young wild boars have delicious meat, especially suitable for roasting, which can bring out the best of the fat and tender meat. I'd really like to try it."
I thought my words could successfully embarrass Pei Ji, but the other party just smiled and his tone was extremely gentle.
"Okay, wait for me and I'll call you."
As soon as he said this, he turned and left, his white robe leisurely walking in the night.
She frowned, thinking of how he had just recovered, and nervously added, "I was just joking. Wild boars are fierce. You're not in good health now..."
"You don't believe me."
"No..." She was just worried.
"Wait for me to come back." After saying that, he turned and led the group into the dark forest.
Song Ci stamped his feet, a little annoyed: "It seems like he..." I've told you that wild boars are dangerous, why didn't you listen.
Wanxiang reached out and tugged at her sleeve. "Miss, it's so dark around here. Let's go back and wait for Master Pei and the others to come back. With so many people here, we should be fine even if we encounter a wild boar."
Song Ci said "hmm" after a while.
Most of the people left, and some soldiers were left outside for protection.
When Song Ci entered, she saw Zheng Yufu's cold eyes staring at her.
She didn't care and turned around to find a place to sit down and rest.
It was still the fragrance of the evening, and she glared at the other person fiercely, like an old hen protecting her cubs.
If she had feathers on her body, Song Ci would not be surprised at all that they would explode at this moment.
After waiting for a long time, Song Ci looked outside frequently, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"They haven't come back yet. How long has it been?"
Tian'er: "Half an hour has passed. Master Pei brought so many soldiers with him, so there should be nothing to worry about."
But she herself was unsure of what she was saying, and no one could tell what was in the unfamiliar forest.
The forest was still quiet, except for the occasional sound of the night wind blowing through, startling the flapping of birds' wings.
After a while, the soldiers who stayed behind began to get restless.
Someone suggested, "Why don't we go and take a look."
Some people objected, "The Master has told us to wait here. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to leave now."
Everyone was arguing and both sides were getting anxious.
"If you ask me, if something really happens to Master Pei and the others, then Miss Song won't be to blame."
