Chapter 20 More terrifying than a wolf, or a hungry wolf in lust
Scarface waved his hand perfunctorily.
With stern eyes, he patrolled around the escorting prisoners present.
Then he said the next sentence: "Find a few more people to help us wash clothes. They must be quick and diligent."
Xiang Qianqian smiled: "No problem, leave it to me to arrange this matter."
The supervisor turned and left, and the surrounding female relatives gathered around Xiang Qianqian.
They all asked her what was going on, how did she get the favor of the captain?
After listening for a moment, Xiangying also understood.
Xiang Qianqian took several concubines and maids and took the initiative to cook for the captain and a group of soldiers.
In exchange for steamed buns, pickles, and pork bones leftover from soup cooked by South Vietnamese soldiers.
The exiled female relatives, who had been hungry for several days, saw the food that Xiang Qianqian brought, and their eyes glowed green.
They gathered in front of Xiang Qianqian to say good things and tried their best to please her, just to get half a steamed bun.
Xiang Qianqian was a little arrogant: "Don't crowd me. If you are willing to follow me, I will naturally let you fill your stomach."
"I won't be like some people who just enjoy the delicious food for myself."
"But you have to listen to me and listen to my arrangements, otherwise you will have nothing to eat."
In an instant, echoing voices abounded around her, all eager to show their loyalty.
But there were also those who ignored her, including the Seventh Princess and Concubine Yu.
Xiang Qianqian divided the steamed buns and kept half of them. She walked up to the seventh princess and said, "Sister Seven, why are you still refusing to pay attention to me? Do you want to continue to be hungry?"
The seventh princess sat on the stone, curling up her legs and feet from hunger, but she would rather hold her stomach than refuse to be with her.
"Thank you, Fifth Sister, but I can't bear your kindness!"
Xiang Qianqian's eyes changed, and she snorted: "Then you just have to be hungry, you really deserve it. Look, you have been begging that person these past few days, but she hasn't given you anything to eat."
"I really don't know what shame you are showing here. I treat you much better than she treats you! Don't forget it. I won't care about you anymore. Otherwise, even if I am raising a dog, she still knows how to treat her well. Where’s the tail?”
The seventh princess was angered by her humiliating words and stood up suddenly.
"Before, you said that it was disrespectful for a big sister to show off her charm in exchange for food. What about you now?"
"You took everyone to help the South Vietnamese soldiers cook and cook, and you also found someone to wash their clothes. Xiang Qianqian, you used to be a princess of a country, but now you are so servile."
"What about the dignity and integrity you often talk about? Is it possible that you know how to ask others, but you can't do it yourself?"
Xiang Qianqian's expression froze when she said this: "I...why are you trying to fight against me? With the current situation, how can it be up to you and me?"
"Besides, someone made a bad start. If you don't bribe the captain, you won't have anything to eat. I also want everyone to live a better life. What did I do wrong?"
Xiang Qianqian wiped her tears and cried aggrievedly.
She turned around and said angrily: "Okay! I won't care about anything from now on, and I won't help find ways to fill our stomachs. Let's all be hungry together!"
The female relatives who had just gotten the steamed buns all expressed their comfort——
"Fifth Princess, you mean well, don't care what others say!"
"Yes, you are so spineless, we have all perished, and the fifth princess is also doing it for our own good."
"The seventh princess is too ignorant. If she doesn't help share the burden, why should she teach the fifth princess a lesson?"
Some people even began to flock to the five princesses to become their backbone.
"From now on, we will all listen to the arrangements of the fifth princess. Whatever you say will be done."
"That's right, listen to the fifth princess, if you can have something to eat, you will survive!"
The seventh princess was so angry that she had nothing to say.
Yu Bin took the seventh princess to sit aside and whispered: "Don't be the same as her. These people are very stupid. Sooner or later, they will be killed by the fifth princess and they still count the money for her."
Xiangying's family watched indifferently.
Xiang Li wanted to say some fair words, but Xiang Ying blocked his mouth with a bunch of herbs.
He swallowed it with difficulty, frowning in pain.
"When did you pick the medicine?" "I just saw it when I was wandering in the forest." Xiangying gave a reason casually.
After dusk, dusk sets.
Those female relatives who said they wanted to support Xiang Qianqian had clearly distinguished themselves from Xiang Ying and the others.
They surrounded the only fire and allowed only themselves to sit by it.
A group of people had their stomachs full and were talking and laughing.
Xiang Qianqian was among them, wearing a white skirt, sitting on a stone and arranging her hair with her hands.
She looked like a little princess.
She glanced at Xiangying from time to time, then looked away and snorted lightly.
Because the supervisors and others were resting in the post station, the prisoners under escort could only sleep on the ground.
It was hot at night, and Xiangying was afraid that Xiangli would get sores on his back, so he spread bearskin mats on the ground for the children to sleep on.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuanxiao climbed onto the wooden cart playfully, saying coquettish words with his red mouth.
"Uncle, I'm sleeping with you and want to hear your stories."
Xiang Li pressed the wound on his arm. Not only did he not complain of pain, he even relaxed his brows and smiled softly.
"Okay, Yuan Xiao, just lie down."
Xiangying lifted Xiang Yuanxiao down with one hand.
"You are as chubby as a meatball now. Don't squeeze your uncle!"
When they left each other again and were squeezed by him until the wound burst and suppurated, Xiangying had another headache.
Xiang Yuanxiao flapped his calf: "Bad guy, let me go, I want my uncle, you can't tell stories."
"I can," Xiangying put him on the bearskin mat, "I can tell the story of the boy who cried wolf."
The three little ones' eyes suddenly lit up, and they gathered together to listen obediently to Xiangying's story about the coming wolf.
At the end of the story, the wolf ate the child. Xiang Xiuxiu screamed in fright and covered her face with her little hands.
"Mom, stop talking, I'm scared!"
Xiangying laughed: "What are you afraid of? My mother is here."
Xiang Yuanxiao said angrily: "That's right, there is nothing to be afraid of. She is more terrifying than a wolf, and she is a hungry wolf in sex."
Taoxue couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Previously, the imperial censor accused the eldest princess of being a pervert among women. She was hung up and beaten by the eldest princess. So your highness still remembers it?"
After she finished speaking, she saw Xiangying's face darken from the corner of her eye.
Taoxue panicked and apologized: "Your Highness should not say that. The eldest princess was wronged by those stinky censors."
Xiangying sneered: "I can't spare you!"
She rushed over and tickled Taoxue and Xiang Yuanxiao hard.
Taoxue was ticklish and immediately fell to the ground begging for mercy after being tickled twice.
Xiang Yuanxiao jumped up with a cry and ran around the wooden cart.
"Uncle, save me!"
"No one can save you!" Xiangying chased after her.
Xiang Li saw that they were getting along well, with a gentle smile in his thin eyes.
All three children became closer to her.
At this moment, Concubine Yu’s scream came from nearby——
"Seventh Princess! What's wrong with you, Seventh Princess! The eldest princess is not well, the seventh princess has convulsions!"
