Chapter 70 They are all sick
Liu Taibin wandered stupidly at the door.
It was like there was some kind of barrier set up at the door. She didn't dare to take a step out. She only dared to peek inside the door.
Seeing Scarface appear, her weathered face was filled with joy.
"Doudouer!"
"Everyone has gone out to get porridge, why are you still here?"
Liu Taibin hesitated: "You, you asked me to wait here..."
She was cautious, thinking she had done something wrong again.
Those skinny hands tightly grasped Scarface's sleeves, fearing that he would disappear for several days again like he did a few days ago.
Scarface looked at her with complicated emotions.
Liu Taibin's silver hair was messy and her eyes were sallow. She didn't know if she had been afraid to close her eyes and was waiting for him at the door.
These days, he was so busy with his own affairs that he forgot that Liu Taibin was locked up here.
I really didn't expect that she actually couldn't take a step forward and waited honestly.
"You are really stupid. If I don't come, you have to know how to come out next time!" Scarface seemed tough, but his tone was actually soft.
He grabbed Liu Taibi's hand and led her to get meat porridge to drink.
During this period, two male prisoners passed by him. Liu Taibi blocked the scarred face behind her as if she had seen a ghost.
"Go away, go away!" She pretended to urge him fiercely, but in fact her face was filled with fear.
The two people were scolded innocently, so they were naturally displeased and scolded them sternly: "Damn old woman, what is your name?"
The scarred face glared angrily, and the two of them felt frightened. They didn't dare to say anything and left quickly.
Seeing them leaving, Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Doudou'er, they are sick, don't get close to them."
Scarface smiled happily.
This old lady is still saying that others are sick. Does she know that she is even more confused?

Xiangying rested for only a day before she went to the bow of the boat to cast the net again.
She was going to make fish soup for herself to replenish herself.
There were intermittent sounds of footsteps coming from behind. The other party seemed to be hesitant, sometimes moving forward and sometimes retreating hesitantly.
Xiangying turned around and saw that it was Ke Jianjun.
The other party hesitated, probably coming to find her.
Xiangying withdrew his gaze coldly, not even saying hello.
Ke Jianjun didn't expect that she would just put on a cold face. Thinking that since she saw him, he could only step forward and say:
"Xiangying, I heard from the soldiers below that you are good at fishing. You can pull up a net of fresh river fish every time. You must have a secret. How about you teach this method to the brothers on the boat."
< br>
"I won't teach you." Xiangying refused directly.
Ke Jianjun frowned: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I haven't mentioned the benefits yet. You teach them that in the future, all exiled prisoners will receive a meat meal every day."
Xiangying glanced at him: "If you don't teach, you don't teach. What does it have to do with me whether the other prisoners eat meat or not?"
"Why do you talk like this?" Ke Jianjun was surprised. "The day before yesterday, you said that no matter the Western Zhou Dynasty or South Vietnam, they were all our own people, and now you don't care about them?"
Xiangying smiled, as if she thought Ke Jianjun's words were childish.
"Fishing is all about luck, so what's the point of not teaching them? When the time comes and they can't catch fish, you will definitely say that I didn't teach them well."
"Furthermore, I took the risk to repair the ship for the sake of innocent people, but it was because I was sure of myself. Even if something happened, it would be my own life that paid for it, and no one would blame me."
"But if I let your people go, if there is any loss, they will definitely be blamed on me. There are too many thankless things in this world!"
Her phoenix eyes were narrowed and she smiled, as sparkling as the water, but her words were so decisive.
"Don't ask, Supervisor Ke. I can give you an extra fish, but don't even think about anything else."
Ke Jianjun was so tempered by her attitude that he lost his temper.
He pointed at her and wanted to say something, but in the end he could only laugh helplessly.
Ke Jianjun shook his head and said: "You will never do anything that may harm your own interests. I don't know whether you are honest or selfish."
"No wonder I asked Jie Chen to talk to you about this matter. He refused faster. It seems that he has already understood your temper."
Just then. Xiang Qianqian's voice came: "Ke Jianjun, eldest sister doesn't teach you, but I can teach you. I can do this."
Ke Jianjun turned around, his face turned serious.
"You?" He glanced up and down.
She is so beautiful and has watery eyes. She looks like a delicate princess at first glance.
Do you understand this trick of catching fish?
She explained: "Actually, every time my eldest sister catches fish, I watch from the side and I have learned some tricks."
"No matter what, it's not a loss if the supervisor lets me try it, right?"
Ke Jianjun glanced at Xiangying's face.
However, Xiangying seemed too lazy to pay attention to them, and only looked ahead intently.
"Okay, let you try it. If you can catch a lot of fish and shrimps, I can let you eat meat porridge every day."
Xiang Qianqian's face lit up with joy: "I don't care whether others can eat well or not. As long as the supervisor can make me and the imperial grandmother have enough to eat every day, that's enough."
Ke Jianjun's eyes paused.
The two sisters said the same thing, but they gave people different feelings.
He didn't say anything and asked Skinny Monkey to also give Xiang Qianqian a fishing net.
Xiang Qianqian took the fishing net and went to stand in front of Xiang Ying.
In her own opinion, Xiangying is very particular about where she stands every time.
The reason why Xiangying was able to catch so many fish must be that she knew where the fish nests were.
The boat was constantly moving, so Xiang Qianqian thought that as long as she stood in front of Xiang Ying, it would be fine.
It happened that Taoxue came over with a wooden bucket to help Xiangying collect the fish.
Seeing Xiang Qianqian lowering the net in front of Xiang Ying, Taoxue frowned: "Won't the fifth princess go to other places to fish, and have to squeeze in front of the eldest princess?"
Xiang Qianqian turned around and said in an innocent tone: "This is not the exclusive territory of Big Sister. I am fishing here, and the supervisor didn't say anything."
Taoxue was a little angry: "You——!"
Xiangying suddenly interrupted her: "Taoxue, help pull it, I can't lift it anymore."
As he spoke, Xiangying pulled the heavy fishing net from the water.
Seven or eight fat fish were flapping in the net, turning their white bellies and splashing water.
Any one of them is as long as half an arm.
Taoxue deliberately raised her voice towards Xiang Qianqian: "The eldest princess is so amazing. She can catch so much river fish every time. It can be seen that it is not the reason of the position, but the reason of the people. It is useless for some people to imitate her."
These words made Xiang Qianqian's face darken with anger.
Taoxue took the initiative to help pick up the fishing net. As soon as Xiangying picked up the bucket, she saw Jinchen striding over.
"Give it to me." He naturally took the heavy barrel in her hand.
Jie Chen glanced at her and lowered his voice: "Is your waist healed? Lifting such a heavy thing."
Xiangying wondered: "Why are you here?"
Jie Chen's thin eyes darkened.
Can't you come to her if nothing happens?
When the words came to his lips, Xie Chen said: "Lao Ke and Lao Wei want me to deliver medicine to you."
"Oh, thank you."
But didn’t Ke Jianjun just leave?
They left side by side, Taoxue deliberately taking a step back to give them space to get along.
Xiang Qianqian looked at their backs and sneered secretly: "You know how to seduce people."
Fortunately, she is different, she does not rely on men.
