Chapter 60 Doudouer, you are my Doudouer
Two days in a row.
Xie Chen came to help pull the wooden cart.
The three little ones finally liked him a little bit, although they still refused to talk to him, but fortunately they were willing to look at him.
What reassured Xiang Ying was that Fang Gan didn't appear again after the note was passed that day.
She must have thought clearly that there is no point in following a master like her.
When they were approaching Lotus Crossing, something happened to the exile team.
The hot weather coupled with long hours of walking has caused many people to develop sores on their feet.
Several people fell as a result.
Jie Chen was very ruthless and ordered the captains and soldiers to whip their whips and urge the prisoners to get on the road faster.
Only Xiangying could tell that Jie Chen wanted them to arrive at Lotus Crossing as soon as possible.
Once on board, there is no need to leave and the situation will be much better than now.
Just walking continuously under the scorching sun, even the horses snorted, was a bit unbearable, not to mention that most of the exile team were female relatives with weak constitutions.
Jie Chen finally ordered the exiled team to rest where they were.
Everyone fell to the ground, gasping for air.
The skinny monkey held a water bag in his hand and asked them to take a sip one by one.
"Everyone can only take one sip, don't drink more, I'm keeping an eye on you!" He said, waving his whip to teach prisoners who wanted to drink more water.
Xiangying saw that several prisoners' faces were abnormally red and their eyes were wandering as if they were sick.
She frowned slightly.
When the thin monkey walked up to her, Xiangying couldn't help but remind her: "With so many people drinking from a water bag, if one of them gets sick, the rest will suffer."
The thin monkey had no idea of this at all, but found it a bit funny.
"Princess, how can you be so particular about walking outside? What's more, these people look weak, but in fact they are very hardy. They can't die even if they are sick."
After that, he asked Xiangying if he wanted to drink water, but Xiangying immediately turned his head and refused.
Everyone around her only drinks the water provided by Xiangying.
The three little guys are full of energy.
They just ate the honey-glazed pork breasts that Xiangying made in the space, and also drank two sips of ice-cold mint grape water.
This boy would jump up and down next to Xiang Li, and the three of them were vying to help Xiang Li walk around.
Xiangying went to Mr. Lin and told them not to drink the water bag handed to them by Skinny Monkey.
"I will ask Lingxiang to give you the clean water every day."
Mr. Lin was a little weak from the heat and nodded slightly: "Thank you, Princess."
Xiangying went to give instructions to the Seventh Princess, Yu Bin and others.
When she turned around, she found that Scarface had been following her as if nothing had happened.
Xiangying frowned: "You have nothing to do when you are idle?"
Scarface was stunned.
Xiang Ying's tone even sounded like that of their Jie Supervisor Army!
"No, no, no, I'm just taking a rest and taking a look around." Scarface was a little embarrassed.
He actually just wanted to see if Xiangying needed help.
At this moment, frightened shouts came from the female relatives next to them——
"Doudouer, Doudouer, who has seen my Doudouer?"
Xiangying turned to look.
An old lady went crazy and was asking where Doudouer was.
She grabbed Xiang Qianqian's hand, but she threw it away in disgust.
"Captain, please take care of yourself. This old lady is confused. Everyone looks like her son!"
The seventh princess sighed in Xiangying's ear: "When Concubine Liu was still the concubine of the emperor's grandfather, she gave birth to a prince, but unfortunately she died before she was a month old."
"The prince's nickname was Doudou'er. I heard that from then on, Concubine Liu's mental state became abnormal and she often cried and laughed."
"In the past, in the palace, she could still be cared for and controlled by taking medicine regularly. No, now that there is no medicine, her condition is getting worse and worse."
The exile team was about to set off, but Concubine Liu was still lying on the ground crying, and the shoes on her feet had long been lost.
People around her are too busy looking after themselves. She has no power and no children to support her. If she doesn't leave, she will only be beaten to pieces by a skinny monkey.
Looking at the bloody soles of her feet, Xiangying's phoenix eyes turned to look at the scarred face behind her.
"If you are free, you can carry her for a while and consider it as a favor to me."
Xiangying said that and turned to look for the children. Scarface was quite surprised.
How did she know he wanted to do whatever he could to help her?
With Xiangying's words, Scarface immediately walked towards Liu Taibin without hesitation and carried her on his back.
Liu Taibin's crying expression paused slightly and looked at him in confusion.
"Doudou'er, are you my Doudou'er?"
"Old lady, I'm carrying you on my back out of kindness, but don't take advantage of me. I'm not your son!" Scarface carried the old man on his back, taking steady steps.
Liu Taibin lay on his back and looked at his side face.
She, with her silver hair, suddenly smiled stupidly.
"You are my Doudouer, but, Doudouer, why have you changed your appearance?"
She stretched out her thin and dirty hands and stroked Scarface's beard tremblingly.
"Your face has gotten bigger, your skin has gotten darker, and it's even hairier."
Xiangying heard it from the side, and Tao Xue and the others couldn't help laughing.
Scarface looked stiff and embarrassed.
"You old lady...!"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Taibin had already hugged his shoulders from behind.
"Doudou'er, my mother and concubine will like whatever you become."
Xiangying blinked at Scarface: "It's good. She regards you as her deceased son. Just do good things and spend more time with her."
Scarface was a little helpless.
"I can't carry her all the time."
"Then do your best."
While Xiangying was talking, there was a loud noise in front of him.
Taoxue immediately went to the front to watch the excitement out of curiosity.
She came back after a while and said: "The pioneer team exploring the road caught a few sneaky people nearby."
“After being tortured, I found out that it was the fishermen who used to make a living in Lianhuadu.”
"They found out there were enemy troops and wanted to hide. However, they were caught now. I heard that the Liberation Army issued an order to let them accompany the ship to help lead the way."
It seems that Xie Chen also understood the difficulties of the dangerous river in advance and found a few fishermen who were familiar with the terrain to direct the direction to avoid going the wrong way.
Xiangying didn’t take it seriously.
That night, Jie Chen and the others asked the entire exiled team to rest in place near Lianhuadu.
Together with the vanguard team, he went to Lianhuadu to arrange the boats.
They need a total of six large ships to exile prisoners.
Now that the war has just ended, it may not be possible to find such a suitable ship.
Xiangying made a mung bean soup from the space, and provided the children, Taoxue and the others with soybean-flavored pancakes and a small piece of soybean beef.
Everyone had a delicious meal.
Xiangying called Scarface over and gave him a bowl of mung bean soup.
Scarface was particularly puzzled: "Where did this come from?"
Xiangying glanced at him: "Jie Chen gave it to me, why do you still need to ask?"
Scarface immediately gave up his doubts, said thank you, and drank the mung bean soup in one gulp.
Seeing how decisive he was, Xiangying snorted in a mocking manner: "Does it taste good? I put a laxative."
"Damn it!" Scarface was startled and immediately started to pick his throat.
Xiangying laughed: "I'm just kidding you!"
She handed over a new bowl of mung bean soup: "Take it to Mrs. Liu to drink."
Scarface frowned completely this time: "I still have business, do you think of me as your servant? I don't have time."
I helped her once during the day, that should be enough, right?
However, by the time he finished speaking, Xiangying had already stuffed the bowl into his palm.
The children over there called Xiangying over one after another, and she hurriedly said "Leave it to you" and left Scarface alone.
Helpless, Scarface could only listen to her words and planned to give mung bean soup to Liu Taibi and leave.
Unexpectedly, he saw several soldiers working together to tie up Liu Taibi.
"Who asked you to do this!" Scarface roared and strode over.
