Chapter 15 Aren’t you a little mute?
It turned out that the exile team responsible for escorting the prince and generals encountered a landslide yesterday.
The vanguard team at the front were all buried alive, twenty-six of them, not a single one left.
The timing of the heavy rain was so coincidental that the landslide rushed down and engulfed them in an instant.
I heard that these twenty-six people were elite soldiers and generals responsible for attacking the city in South Vietnam.
They were responsible for escorting Prince Xiangli before. It was precisely because they beat Xiangli and refused to treat him that the military attachés of the Western Zhou Dynasty aroused intense emotions and had to send Xiangli to Xiangying, a team with mostly female relatives.
Xiangying learned what happened and had no sympathy.
Taoxue patted her heart: "If we had walked slower yesterday, we might have been buried."
Xiang Yuanxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said lightly: "It can't be us. They will die wherever they go. Who let them bully my uncle?"
Xiangying looked at the little guy. Xiang Yuanxiao had already turned away and told his younger siblings to tell him when they were tired.
He looked like a little adult, as if the indifference he showed just now was just Xiangying's illusion.
The sun rose and the exile team was on the road again.
When Huang Beard saw Xiang Ying, there was no change, except that his smile was a little perfunctory.
The two soldiers he sent to pull the cart were also very rude.
There were constant bumps along the way, and Xiangying was afraid that Xiangli's unhealed wound would burst again.
In order to catch up with the progress that was delayed yesterday, the exile team did not stop for a moment today.
Several supervisors decided to take a shortcut across the mountain and go directly to the next big post station to rest.
Late afternoon.
They found a wide and abandoned beast cave as a temporary resting place.
With status like Xiangying and others, they are naturally not qualified to live in a cave.
Xiangying took the children and found a shelter from the wind on the side of the cave. They spread some haystacks and clothes before lying down.
Some of the concubines and female relatives who wanted to follow Xiang Ying also sat down near her.
The supervisors and others set up a fire in front to cook porridge, and the smell of meat wafted again.
However, the meat was given to the prison captains, and the exiled prisoners had only gruel to drink.
Xiangying prepared braised pork rice with rice for the children.
The rice was wrapped in oil paper, and Xiangying chopped up the braised pork and vegetables and spread it on top.
After pinching it hard twice, it turned into a rice ball, which was very convenient to hold and eat.
I originally wanted to add two cooked shrimps, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to explain it to the children.
There was no other way, so Xiangying could only make herself a seafood rice bowl.
Chopped shrimps are paired with soaked and cooked scallops and abalone, a spoonful of fresh and thick sauce is poured over it, and a little green onions and peppers are added. It is extremely delicious!
If you suffer for your children, you cannot suffer for yourself.
Each of the Lin family was given a sauerkraut and meat pie so that they could avoid eating it.
Xiangying took the children and took them to a nearby place with few people in the name of taking them out.
After they finished eating quietly, Xiangying originally planned to take them back, but Xiang Xiuxiu pulled her sleeves.
"Mother, the three of us have decided to tell you a secret."
"Huh?" Xiangying raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
Xiang Yuanxiao ordered Taoxue to keep an eye on him.
The three little guys looked serious, and only the second son, Xiang Yuanlang, took a step forward.
"Will you always take care of us like this and never leave us?"
Xiangying was surprised: "You can actually speak, aren't you a little mute?"
Xiang Yuanlang's cold little face suddenly became sulky.
"I just didn't want to pay attention to you before, and this is not the point. You answer me, will you always be responsible for us!"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course I am responsible for you."
Xiang Xiuxiu said in a sweet voice: "Mother, you keep asking the supervisors and them for food. It's too dangerous, so we decided to provide food."
"You? How to provide it?"
"Second brother, he can talk to animals. He can call the hare over. You are so good at it, you can just catch it." Xiang Yuanxiao had the plan figured out.
Xiangying looked at Xiang Yuanlang: "Can you communicate with animals?"
I can't tell that this kid still has this ability.
However, Xiangying was not too surprised.
Because once in the last days, there were people who suddenly awakened supernatural powers and could communicate with all kinds of beasts.
When Xiang Yuanxiao saw that Xiang Ying didn't show any surprise, he thought she didn't believe it.
"Second brother, show her your skills!"
Xiang Yuenlang nodded, picked up a leaf and put it between his lips, and he could play a clear melody. The forest was blown by the wind, and Xiangying stared at the grass, waiting for the wild rabbit to appear.
suddenly!
A group of birds were flying in the forest not far away, flying over their heads like a dark cloud.
Xiangying was stunned. Before she could react, something fell on the back of her hand.
A white lump, still warm...
"Ah!" Xiang Xiuxiu covered her little head and shouted, "Second brother, you shouted wrong, there is a lot of bird poop, mother, help me!"
The three children screamed together, grabbing Xiangying's sleeves and hiding their heads.
Xiangying picked up Xiang Xiuxiu and held her under her elbow.
"Run!" She turned around and ran.
Xiang Yuanlang hurriedly dropped the leaves and followed Xiang Ying in embarrassment with Xiang Yuanxiao.
Taoxue stayed nearby and didn't know what was happening. She only saw something dark in the sky and the chirping of birds was deafening.
She turned around and saw Xiang Ying running towards her at a sprint speed of 100 meters, holding Xiang Xiuxiu in his arms, and dragging Xiang Yuanxiao and Xiang Yuanlang with his other two hands.
Taoxue wondered: "Eh? Princess, why..."
Xiangying passed by her like a gust of wind, grabbing Taoxue's clothes and dragging her away.
They rushed out of the forest, and the birds flew over after Xiang Yuanlang.
A dense darkness covered the heads where the exile team was stationed.
Before the soldiers could react, some people found themselves hit by bird droppings.
There were shouts and curses one after another, and there was a chaos of screams and cries.
suddenly!
An arrow shot through the air with a fierce aura, directly killing one of the birds.
Only then did the birds seem to come to their senses, turning around and flying away with flapping wings.
Jie Chen, who was riding on horseback, put down his bow and arrow, and his cold eyes under the mask glanced at Xiang Ying's location in the distance.
The birds flew away and the shadows over their heads disappeared.
Xiangying gasped slightly and used a handkerchief to wipe the bird poop marks on Xiang Xiuxiu's face.
The little girl was so wronged that she said pitifully: "Smelly."
Xiangying was okay, there wasn't any dirt on her body, and the three little guys also had some stains on their faces and arms.
Pour water on the handkerchief and wipe it clean.
Xiang Yuanlang blushed so hard that he didn't dare to look up at Xiang Ying.
"Pfft." Xiangying couldn't help laughing.
Xiang Yuanlang raised his eyes to look at her, and deliberately pretended to be cold: "I haven't done this for a long time, and I just made a mistake."
Xiangying does know that in the last days, when someone awakens their superpowers, they need training.
Most of Xiang Yuen Long's ability also requires repeated practice.
She reached out and rubbed Xiang Yuenlang's head: "It's already very powerful."
Xiang Yuanlang was slightly startled, and his pupils widened.
Was he praised?
Xiangying didn't notice the little guy's emotional changes, but just warned: "But your ability needs practice, so don't use it easily for the time being. It's not too late to use it when you really master it."
Speaking of this, Xiangying suddenly felt that Xiang Yuanlang would be able to command animals skillfully.
Can she let him raise a group of cattle in the future to help her cultivate the fields?
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved!
"Well...I know." Xiang Yuanlang nodded lightly, glanced at Xiang Ying, and then turned away his red face.
Xiangying took out the imperial green bag with a wooden shell from his arms, wiped it carefully twice, and then put it back into his clothes.
A patrolling soldier seemed to patrol nearby accidentally and saw something in her arms.
At night.
The children were all asleep, and Xiangying was about to go to bed.
But I saw Yellow Beard walking over quietly: "Princess, I found something, come and see it with me."
Xiangying stood up and glanced at Taoxue and the sleeping children.
She did not hesitate and followed Huang Beard away from the resting army and quietly walked to the side road.
The wilderness is silent except for the sound of wind.
"What?"
"You must know this, right?" Huang Beard spread his hands.
Under the moonlight, Xiangying saw that the thing in his palm was the candy he was tricked into using as the antidote.
