Chapter 11 Groundwater Sources
As the words fell, the young man glanced over with a sinister look, "Are you teaching this prince how to do things?"
The boy's clear voice was tinged with displeasure.
He rarely got angry, so he was a little annoyed, and Zhuifeng didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After settling Gu Feixue, the young man asked, "How's the thing I asked you to do going?"
"Your Highness, since this is a year of famine, it is particularly difficult to prepare food supplies."
"However, I have already prepared three thousand dan of grain, which will be delivered here in another month."
Hearing this, the boy's face darkened: "A month? I'll give you half a month!"
"If I don't see any food in half a month, you will be beheaded!"
Hearing this, Zhuifeng trembled all over. He didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so anxious.
Normally, it would take a month for the food to be delivered.
If we only have half a month, we can only take a shortcut and take the dangerous mountain road.
But this also makes accidents more likely to happen.
Zhuifeng was very puzzled, but when he noticed that all the eyes of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were focused on Gu Feixue, he finally understood.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that the girl would starve to death before a month had passed.
Zhuifeng didn't dare to say much. He just nodded, stood up and left quickly.
After a long time, Gu Feixue finally showed signs of waking up.
Faintly, she felt herself being carried away.
Suddenly, Gu Feixue slowly opened her eyes.
Just when she was about to see the person clearly.
The boy stood up suddenly and ran away like a frightened animal.
But when Gu Feixue slowly opened her eyes and looked around, there was no one there.
She felt her throat no longer dry and murmured softly, "Who was so kind as to save me..."
She struggled to support herself, and a jade pendant that fell on the ground caught her attention.
When I picked it up, I saw three words engraved on it: Yuchi Shuo.
"Yuchi Shuo?" Gu Feixue looked at the jade pendant of extraordinary texture and realized that this was the noble man who saved her.
"It turns out that someone really saved me." Gu Feixue was full of gratitude and hid the jade pendant in her underwear.
"When I survive this ordeal, if I meet a benefactor in the future, I will definitely repay him well."
Not far away, Yuchi Shuo, who was hiding above the woods, understood her words through her lip movements.
My heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Fortunately, there was no more information on the jade pendant, otherwise I would have been exposed.
“Gugugugu——”
At this moment, my stomach started to growl violently.
Gu Feixue rubbed her belly, and a faint fragrance drifted into her nose.
"Sweet potatoes! There are sweet potatoes here!"
Gu Feixue didn't have time to think too much, and rushed towards the place where the smell came from. She saw three sweet potatoes roasting on the fire not far away!
“It really is!”
Gu Feixue was so excited that she rushed towards Sweet Potato.
Those were originally roasted by Zhuifeng for Yuchi Shuo. It was not easy for Zhuifeng to find these wild sweet potatoes in such a barren land.
Gu Feixue grabbed the hot sweet potato without saying a word and started blowing it hard.
I blew on it, peeled the skin, and put it in my mouth, burning my teeth and making my mouth split.
This look is somewhat funny, but also somewhat distressing.
At this moment, Gu Feixue, who was eating wild sweet potatoes, suddenly looked up.
"Since my benefactor was able to find these big sweet potatoes, there must be a lot more around here. I have to look for them quickly!"
She glanced around and saw dense forests all around, denser than the forests along the road she had walked on before.
It can be seen that this place is not on a wide road, but should be in the deep mountains and forests.
Gu Feixue calmed down and ate sweet potatoes while wondering if her benefactor would take her out.
If I don't take her out, I'm afraid she will have to walk out on her own.
After a long time, she finally finished eating a sweet potato and regained a lot of strength.
Because the two sweet potatoes had cooled down quite a bit, she quickly put them in her arms and prepared to leave.
When I turned around, I saw two kettles on the open space not far away!
She was sure that she didn't!
Gu Feixue looked around but found nothing. It seemed that her benefactor did not want to show up.
She just took a pot of water and spoke to the forest.
"My benefactor, I have wasted too much time. It's getting dark. If I don't go back soon, my mother will be worried."
"Consider these sweet potatoes and water as a loan from me. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you with a huge sum of money!"
After doing all this, Gu Feixue bowed deeply and then hurriedly ran away.
When she was eating sweet potatoes just now, she found that the road was not very dry because it had rained a little before.
There is a very obvious set of footprints along the way. She should be able to get out of here by following these footprints.
But soon, she found that her judgment was wrong.
This set of footprints led her directly to the heart of the mountain, which was surrounded by mountains on all sides and was a completely enclosed place.
Seeing this scene, Gu Feixue frowned, afraid that she would not be able to go back tonight.
Her heart suddenly turned cold.
This body is only seven years old. If she encounters any danger, she will not be able to fully utilize her skills as a special forces soldier. This is the real danger.
Gu Feixue calmed down and prepared to return the same way.
But suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a brown object out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Feixue was startled and rushed over.
It really was a brown sweet potato, and someone had dug it up.
I guess it was not picked because it was too small.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect..."
Gu Feixue stopped talking abruptly, and suddenly, she realized that this place was most likely a gathering place for wild sweet potato fields.
Without saying a word, she hurriedly concentrated on observing, looking at the ground as she walked. The more she walked and the more she looked, the more excited she became and she was speechless.
The path she walked on was full of ripe sweet potatoes!
Moreover, this sweet potato field is trapezoidal in shape and spreads across the entire mountain.
It seems that someone lived here a long time ago, so some seeds were left behind.
What surprised her even more was that the soil here was relatively loose and contained a lot of water, which meant that there was mountain spring water flowing into this place.
Otherwise, these wild sweet potatoes would not grow like this one by one.
She was surprised and happy, and her whole body was shaking with excitement!
"I'm bringing them here! There's enough food here to feed us for a month!"
