Chapter 47 The old man's helplessness after watering the wrong land
"Brother Xinming, I want to pick the fruit from the tree. Can you help me?"
"Brother Ming, there are fish in the river over here, let's catch some!"
Amidst the constant calls of "brother", Jiang Xinming gradually lost himself and became the busiest man in the team.
Jiang Xinming had just helped Qi Yunxi climb a tree to pick fruit, and then went to the river to catch fish for Zhong Danyue. He was so tired that he was gasping for breath and his stomach was rumbling.
Seeing this, Zhong Danyue let him rest while she and Qi Yunxi went to prepare lunch.
Jiang Xinming felt a warm feeling in his heart. Although he was a little tired just now, he felt very proud when he saw two delicate girls who had never touched housework cooking for him.
After resting enough, Jiang Xinming was about to go eat when he saw Qi Yunxi saying with a bitter face: "Wow, brother Xinming, the fruit was taken away by the donkey."
Zhong Danyue followed closely behind, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, "Brother Ming, I'm so useless. The fish you caught were eaten by those horses..."
After a tiring day, Jiang Xinming felt like the sky was falling.
When he looked at the donkey, the donkey quickly chewed and swallowed the fruit in its mouth and grinned at him.
No more, I’ve eaten them all.
Jiang Xinming turned around with a dull face. He would not bother with a donkey, as it would be beneath his dignity as the prince of Northern Chu.
He took another look at the fat and strong horses and immediately gave up the idea of snatching the fish from the horses' mouths.
Forget it, it’s embarrassing to fight with a horse.
Jiang Xinming looked around in confusion. What should he say now?
He felt like an eighty-year-old man who carried sixty buckets of water overnight and watered forty acres of land under the stars and moon, only to find that he had watered his neighbor's land. He would feel helpless when he looked and found that all his own vegetable seedlings were dead.
But Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue were still feeling guilty. Jiang Xinming closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, stop crying. I'll go buy some food."
It wasn't their fault. After all, they couldn't even snatch those horses, let alone two delicate girls.
This time the price went up again. Before the official could say "buy it or not", Jiang Xinming paid the money and left with the meal.
Officer A was stunned. Is he so rich?
Aunt Bai cracked some melon seeds and said, "He looks quite rich. Try to make as much money as possible from him while he's still confused. Maybe after a few days when he wakes up, he won't be able to make any money anymore."
This time, without a doubt, he received praise and starry eyes from Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue, and Jiang Xinming's pain of losing the silver was alleviated a lot.
He paid with money and effort, so he had to get something in return. Jiang Xinming felt that simple praise could no longer satisfy him.
"Yue'er," Jiang Xinming said ambiguously as he looked at Zhong Danyue who was eating quietly, "Eat slowly. If it's not enough, Brother Ming will go buy more."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Zhong Danyue, reaching straight for a strand of hair that was scattered on her temples.
Qi Yunxi was still young, and he had no sexual interest in her, but Zhong Danyue...
Looking at her increasingly slender figure and pretty face, Jiang Xinming secretly swallowed his saliva.
Not far away, Qi Yunzhou's fist hardened.
"Oh," Qi Yunxi yelled, "Sister Yue, your hair is messy, let me comb it for you."
Zhong Danyue readily agreed, "Thank you, Sister Xi."
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, without any of the previous "rivals meeting each other with jealousy" look, Jiang Xinming was surprised, "What are you doing?"
Zhong Danyue smiled shyly, "We know that Brother Ming is in trouble, so we just want to get along well with him so that he can feel at ease."
In a word, let the man spend all his savings on me.
Jiang Xinming confirmed this statement. Within a few days, as the cost of food became more and more expensive, the money he had saved was finally spent.
At the same time, he was also very tired. Today Zhong Danyue wanted to raise wild rabbits, and tomorrow Qi Yunxi wanted to catch birds in the trees. In addition, he had to travel every day. In less than ten days, he was exhausted and lost a lot of weight.
The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Qi Yunxi did not ask about Qing Rong. Perhaps Qi Yunxi didn't know that Qing Rong was in cahoots with him?
Jiang Xinming recalled that when he and Qingrong escaped, they did not alarm anyone. Even if Qi Yunxi knew that Qingrong had escaped, he would only think that Qingrong had escaped on her own.
He glanced at Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue who were talking affectionately together, and touched his face which seemed to have aged ten years. With his love for Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue, he could hold on for a while!
Of course, how could Jiang Xinming be an ordinary man who indulges in love?
He insisted on staying in the exile group for other purposes.
In Chen Xun's tent, Qi Yunxi and Zhong Danyue high-fived to celebrate the first victory of their anti-scumbag alliance.
Shen Yunzheng was shocked. "This is only the first victory? How many more times will there be?"
Qi Yunxi snorted, "No matter how many times, it's never too many!"
Zhong Danyue said coldly, "Jiang Xinming's sudden appearance here must be a conspiracy. I see that his target is Yun Xi, so he definitely has no good intentions."
Qi Yunzhou nodded, “Yue’er is right!”
That's why Shen Xun asked him to keep an eye on Jiang Xinming during this period. He didn't dare to miss a single glance, for fear that his sister and wife would be abducted by Jiang Xinming.
Shen Xun changed the dressing for Shen Yunzheng, "Keep a close eye on it recently. I think Jiang Xinming will start to take action soon because he can't hold back any longer."
"Yunxi, Ayue, take it easy. Once we get to Youzhou, there will be plenty of opportunities."
Several people nodded in unison, "Okay."
At night, Jiang Xinming woke up from the tent. He carefully walked around the prisoners in the same tent with him and went to the tent door.
"who?"
Officer B, who was on guard outside the tent, heard the noise and picked up his knife alertly.
"Sir, it's me."
Jiang Xinming said hurriedly, "I have to go to the bathroom urgently, go take care of it."
Officer B put the knife back and said, "Go ahead, but don't stray too far. Come back as soon as you're done."
Jiang Xinming responded and groped his way into the woods ahead.
Because Shen Yunzheng's injury had not healed yet, Shen Xun and Xie Lan temporarily lived with him in a tent. Hearing the noise outside, Shen Xun opened his eyes.
"Axun, go take a look?"
Xie Lan's voice rang out in the darkness.
Shen Xun lifted the quilt and said, "Let's go."
"Mom," this was Shen Yunzheng's voice, "I also want to..."
Shen Xun gently covered him with the quilt, his voice cold and ruthless: "No, you don't want to."
Shen Yunzheng, "Oh."
"Go to sleep obediently and wait for your father and I to come back. If you are still awake..."
Shen Xun's gentle tone changed, "For tomorrow's medicine, ask your uncle to give you double the amount of coptis root."
Shen Yunzheng closed his eyes for a second, "Oh, I fell asleep!"
Jiang Xinming walked for a while and arrived under a big tree. The man in black was already waiting there.
"Your Highness," the man in black said calmly, "Your Highness has asked me to ask you how things are going."
Jiang Xinming said impatiently: "Let's not talk about this for now. How much silver do you have with you?"
Man in black: “?”
Jiang Xinming asked again. The man in black suppressed the urge to kill him and replied, "I don't have any money on me."
"Then get ten thousand taels of silver from my eldest brother. Remember, it should be of small denomination."
