Then he quickly pulled the two spiritual fruits into his arms.
"Alright, continue practicing. I'll go guard the door for you."
Xiaobai didn't ask any more questions. He knew that Mianmian had a secret, otherwise where did these spiritual fruits come from, but he had no intention of finding out.
No matter what secrets Mianmian has, they are contracted partners and will not betray each other.
Xiaobai went to the door with the spiritual fruit in his mouth.
When Wen Mianmian saw Xiaobai like this, she felt a little ashamed.
But there are some things that Xiaobai really can’t know too much about. As for the future... let’s talk about it later.
Wen Mianmian continued to meditate and regulate her breathing to practice.
The Fourth Master didn't come back until the next day.
After Wen Mianmian got up and had breakfast, she asked Wang An to go to the front yard to ask whether the master had returned yesterday.
Wang An was still very fast and came back in less than half an incense stick of time.
When Wang An came back, he immediately went into the house and told his master what he had found out.
Wen Mianmian saw Wang An coming back and asked, "How is it? Did the master come back yesterday?"
Wang An shook his head, "The master didn't come back yesterday."
"But I heard that a young eunuch came back last night to help the master pack some clothes. I heard that the master seemed to have something urgent to do and went to the south."
"Going south, why so suddenly?" Wen Mianmian was a little surprised.
I haven't heard that the master is going on a business trip before.
"Yes, I don't know the specific reason, but I heard from the people in the front yard that it seems to be related to the disaster in the south."
"Disaster, what disaster?"
Wen Mianmian has been staying in the mansion all the time, so naturally she doesn’t know much about what’s happening outside.
Suddenly hearing about the disaster, she felt even more worried. In this day and age, whenever there is a disaster, people will definitely die. Wen Mianmian couldn't help but worry about the Fourth Master.
"I heard there was a flood over there. Many people's houses were flooded, many people were displaced, and many people died in this flood."
"Ah, wouldn't that be very dangerous?" Shanzhi said worriedly when she heard it.
She also experienced a flood when she was young. It was at that time that her younger brother and mother died in the flood.
Wen Mianmian suddenly thought of a sentence she had heard before, "After a great disaster, there will be a great disaster."
Moreover, it is the hottest time of the year now. She is worried that something might happen to her master if he goes there this time.
"Nothing should happen. After the flood recedes, maybe everything will be fine."
Shancha didn't know the seriousness of the matter and just thought that everyone could go back and live after the flood receded.
"Sister Shancha, you're overthinking it. The houses in the flooded areas have already collapsed. Even if the water recedes, it's impossible for them to rebuild their homes in such a short time."
Shanzhi has experienced all of this, so she knows a little more than those present.
"What should we do then? Master, it won't take long for him to come back."
Shanzhi shook her head, "I'm not sure about that."
"But don't worry, master. The master will be back soon." Shanzhi comforted the concubine out of fear that she would be worried.
Wen Mianmian smiled and said, "I see you're more nervous than I am. Okay, go check if the kids are awake. If they are, bring them over."
"Yes." Gardenia and Camellia responded and then walked out.
"By the way, Master, I heard that Lord Longkodo also went with Master."
Wang An was about to retreat when he remembered this incident, stopped and added.
"Longkodo is gone too." Wen Mianmian was horrified.
Longkodo had a falling out with the Fourth Master because of the Li Si'er incident.
Why would the emperor let Longkodo go with him?
"I heard from the people in the front yard that it is."
"I understand. Go ahead and get busy."
After Wang An left, Wen Mianmian sat on the couch and fell into deep thought.
The emperor asked Longkodo to go to the south to carry out his mission at this time. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to restore Longkodo's official position.
——
The Fourth Master rode at full speed, pulling several carts of grain towards the south.
The Fourth Master and Longkodo didn't say a word to each other along the way.
Longkodo was actually very happy when he knew that the emperor was going to send him to the south to provide disaster relief, as this meant that the emperor was willing to use him again.
But when he knew that he was going with the fourth brother, Longkodo's originally happy mood was immediately dampened by this incident.
Although they are uncle and nephew, they are not blood relatives after all. In addition, because of the incident with Li Si'er, the relationship between Longkodo and the Fourth Master is no longer the same as before.
They managed to reach the disaster relief site in just over ten days, instead of a journey that would have taken them nearly a month.
During these ten days, they rushed as fast as they could and even ate and drank on the road.
Except for the time for rest, they were on the road all the time, and they had no danger along the way. This batch of food was finally delivered to the disaster relief site today.
"Su Peisheng, go call the county magistrate here and have them take people to distribute this batch of food to the victims."
When they came over just now, they found many people sleeping on both sides of the road, and they all looked haggard and skinny.
"Yes, I'll go right away." After receiving the order, Su Peisheng took the token and led his men to walk quickly towards the county government office.
After Su Peisheng left, the Fourth Master asked the people he brought with him to unload all the food from the car so that they could be distributed to the victims later.
Longkodo had seen the fourth brother for so many days, but he had never said a word to him or apologized to him. He treated him like a transparent person the whole time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
With a cold snort, he took his men into the inn to rest.
This fourth brother actually wants to be in the spotlight so much, so let him be in the spotlight to his heart's content.
After traveling for so many days, he needs to go in and have a good rest.
The Fourth Master did not pay any attention to Longkodo's mood at the moment, but watched everyone unload the goods carefully.
When the goods were almost unloaded, the local county magistrate Ye hurried over with his men.
"Your servant Li Yunpeng pays his respects to the Fourth Prince. May the Fourth Prince be blessed with good health." Li Yunpeng said breathlessly and led his men to salute respectfully.
"Okay, everyone, get up and quickly distribute this food to the victims."
The matter was too urgent, and the Fourth Master had no time to ask them about their well-being.
"Yes, the porridge shed has been built and is waiting for this batch of food."
The moment Li Yunpeng saw the food, his face was filled with joy and he felt a lot more at ease.
God knows how worried and scared he was when he heard that the relief food had been burned.
After all, without food, many people will die.
Originally they had disaster relief grain, but this time the flood was so fierce, and the river dam broke, so the grain was flooded by the mudslide caused by the flood.
They had no choice but to seek help from the capital.
