Chapter 169 What a coincidence, you come to take a shower too?
Xiangying turned around.
Aren has been following the exile team, his eyes locked on her.
She couldn't see clearly last night, but during the day, Xiangying discovered that this child was really thin and pitiful.
Wearing ill-fitting clothes, his trousers were very short and exposed below the knees.
The angular green face, because it was too thin and tall, looked slightly dark, with only one pair of bright eyes.
Aren fell down while running.
Taoxue was surprised: "Hey, is this child okay?"
They all looked at Xiangying, waiting for her order to help Aren up.
However, Xiangying just looked away.
"No matter."
Everyone was silent and could only obey.
Ah Ren is very pitiful, but they are about to go to the Imperial City of Nanyue.
You become someone else's prisoner there, and you don't know what kind of fate you will encounter.
Only this kid, foolishly risking his own life just for some food.
In the evening, Xie Chen asked the entire team to stop and rest in advance.
They found an abandoned and empty tea shed as a place to stay and set up their tent on the spot.
At the same time, Xie Chen sent out a team of pathfinders to take a look at the situation ahead.
If there really is a group of hungry and anxious refugees, then they need to prepare a response in advance.
Xiangying stewed a pot of cloud mushroom chicken for the children and Taoxue, then walked to the nearby woods.
She lowered her head and searched around on the ground, and heard footsteps coming behind her.
From the corner of her eye, Xiangying saw Aren's tall and thin figure hiding behind the tree, looking at her.
She pretended not to know and threw down the bag she had prepared in advance.
As soon as Xiangying left, Aren ran over and picked it up.
In the bag, there were steamed buns stuffed with chopped pickles and a large piece of soy beef.
Aren devoured the meat, gnawing at it with big mouthfuls.
He ate so quickly that he choked in his throat, beat his chest in pain, and his face gradually turned red.
A slender palm suddenly slapped his back, using a few percent of the force.
Aren coughed and spit out the lump of beef stuck in his throat.
Xiangying crossed her arms and looked down: "No matter how delicious the food is, you can't swallow it without chewing it."
Aren regained his composure and reached out to grab the beef he had just spit out.
Xiangying stared and slapped his hand away.
"Dirty! Don't eat it." She said, taking out another bag of meat buns from her sleeve and giving it to him.
Aren quickly said thank you and took one bun in one bite, his cheeks bulging from the food.
However, when he raised his head and came into contact with Xiangying's dark and sharp eyes, Aren consciously slowed down.
Xiangying nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it. Chew carefully."
She didn't dare to feed Aren too much for fear that he would have a stomachache.
I only put some vitamin tablets, calcium tablets, and physical supplements in the water bag given to him.
After Aren finished drinking, his face was rosy and his eyes were bright.
"Thank you, sister." He actually recognized Xiangying directly.
I have to say, this guy is really smart.
Xiang Ying tutted: "It's no use calling me sister, you have to go. Don't you see that we are all prisoners? We are going to be escorted to the Royal Court of South Vietnam. Do you know what it means?"
"I know, I will die," Aren licked his lips, still recalling the taste of the meat buns, but he added, "I protect my sister and use my life to exchange for the lives of my enemies."
Xiangying was startled.
What a child like a little wolf cub.
Xiangying stood up and left: "No, I don't need anyone to sacrifice for me."
Aren took two steps after him: "What about your children? If those three children are in danger, I will protect them and leave first for you!"
Xiangying paused and looked back.
Aren's chest rose and fell, and the dark outlines of his eyebrows showed unparalleled seriousness.
He took out the dagger and suddenly cut his palm. Xiangying was stunned.
"I heard that the dead soldiers around the emperor and the country's relatives must recognize their masters in this way. I swear with my blood that I will be my sister's dead soldier and protect my sister's life in this life!"
When Aren said this, he shouted very forcefully.
The young boy's strong desire to survive once made Xiangying think he was seeing his master.
She was in a daze.
When he first met Master, he was also like this. When he spoke, his eyes always shone with confidence.
He is a soul that never gets discouraged and gives in. Jin is very much like him.
Xiangying came back to her senses: "Let's talk about it later."
She walked away quickly, but Aren smiled happily.
Great, sister didn't say no, that means there is hope.
He quickly tied the water bag to his body and ran quickly to catch up with Xiangying to avoid being left behind in the exile team.
The night is thick and the residual heat of summer has not receded during the day.
On the dry and cracked earth, the prisoners felt hot by the fire and avoided the fire one after another.
Only Xiangying was grilling fragrant meat skewers, and the stomachs of the prisoners around him were growling.
The three children sat obediently on the big rock next to them, listening to Lu Baiyi telling them stories.
Lu Baizheng said: "That time I took three brothers on a mountain road alone, but I met a fierce tiger. It had not eaten for many days."
The three little ones became nervous after hearing this, and Xiang Xiuxiu seemed to be immersed in the scene: "So, were you eaten by it?"
Lu Peiyi smiled, showing his bright white teeth: "If I were eaten, how could I sit here and talk to you?"
He lifted up his clothes to reveal the claw scars on his abdomen.
"That tiger caught me, so I escaped with my life."
The three little ones couldn't help but marvel. Xiangying came over with meat skewers and distributed them to them.
Seeing Lu Beiyi's scar, she couldn't help but say: "Did you kill the tiger later?"
"It would be a fantasy to scare it away and kill the tiger."
Xiang Yuanxiao immediately stood up from the stone, biting the meat skewers and said: "My badass mother is very powerful. She can beat bears with bare hands, and tigers are definitely no problem! If you don't believe it, bring a tiger to duel with her now!" ”
Xiangying pinched the little man's face.
"Eat meat well! Don't make a challenge to me! Just now you said you were hungry and I went to kebab. If you don't eat it all, I'll beat your ass."
Xiang Yuanxiao lowered his head silently.
Xiangying raised her head and looked behind the tree not far away. Aren had been standing there, watching them.
"Lu Peiyi, go and give these meat skewers to that child for me." Xiangying didn't plan to go there.
Lu Peiyi glanced at her: "Do you really want to care about him?"
Xiangying's eyes flickered, looking very calm.
"Feed whatever you want, I have fed so many people anyway, I don't care if there is one more."
"That's true." Lu Beiyi smiled and turned around.
At night, everyone was fast asleep.
Xiangying couldn't sleep. She was born with more energy than others. Without supplements, she could feel full even if she only slept four hours a day.
She knew there was a pool nearby and wanted to take a swim.
After all, the bathroom in the space is only for bathing, while the pool can be used for swimming.
Xiangying, who has never enjoyed a natural pollution-free pool in the apocalypse, has no resistance to the pool.
She left the camp quietly, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and came to the waterhole on the hillside alone.
At this time, the moon is full in the sky, and the light is slightly blue.
She put on the thin thick clothes she had prepared and jumped into the water.
The cool feeling instantly surrounds the body and dissipates the heat of the day.
Xiangying swam, and when he emerged from the water, he saw a tall figure sitting by the pool.
He was scrubbing his upper body.
She had touched this familiar figure everywhere and recognized it at a glance.
Xiangying narrowed his eyes.
Xie Chen comes to take a bath so late? What a coincidence.
