The boy wiped his nose vigorously and said loudly, "Uncle Tao is not stealing, he saved his own food for me." ”

Although this child has a large head and a small body and is malnourished, he has a clear speech and is not afraid of strangers, but he is also a little cute.

Ling Xiang asked, "Where is your home, why did you come to this barracks?"

The child glanced at Tao Xi, saw that he did not look up, and said boldly: "My family lives in Hejia Village opposite, my mother asked me to come to the military camp to fish for vegetable leaves, but I always can't catch it, I will be beaten when I go back, once Uncle Tao helped me, and then often brought me something to eat, today he hid a steamed bun and an egg in the firewood, I just took it out and was caught." ”

When Ling Xiang heard this, he knew what to expect, and ordered everyone to be even.

Seeing that Tao Xi always lowered his head and looked very restrained and afraid, he paced to him and said, "Tell me." ”

In the Tanshi Huai Army, Rong Xijue is the god of heaven and the supreme existence, Tao Xi heard that it was the concubine of the commander, and he was inexplicably excited, and immediately knelt on the ground and worshipped: "The little one sees that this child can't rob the adult on weekdays, and often goes back with an empty basket, and the next time he comes, he is injured, and he can't bear it, so he took something to him by doing things in the room, which really violated military regulations, the princess is lenient, and the small one does not dare to shirk responsibility, this military stick, the small one should lead." ”

Ling Xiang stood up, secretly praised in his heart, this soldier out of sympathy, is holding small things, there is no big deal, she wants to help, who knows that this person will be stubborn to lead the staff, it seems that the Sandalwood Huai Army is really strict in governing the army.

"How many batons were fined?"

One of the executioners replied: "Twenty sticks, eleven rods have been beaten." ”

The soldier listened. "Puff" knelt on the ground again and shouted, "Hurry up and finish." ”

The soldier with the staff looked at the princess, and then at the captain. I don't know what to do.

The child was so frightened that he cried again, shouting, "Don't beat Uncle Tao, I'll give you back the steamed buns......"

It's just a steamed bun and an egg, no matter how small it is, but it makes them suffer so much, Ling Makeup's nose bone is a little sour, and he can't care about being dirty. He took the child's hand and said, "It's okay, this Uncle Tao has thick skin and thick meat, and he can't be broken." It's broken, but I'm going to ask. ”

After that, he no longer interfered with the execution in the army, and pulled the child to leave.

The child was still crying and looking back at Tao Xi, refusing to move.

Tao Xi looked up. Grimaced at the child. said loudly: "Go, uncle is fine, these people are uncle's brothers, they are raised high, they hit gently, and they don't hurt at all!"

Before the words fell, the soldiers behind him couldn't stand his virtue, and knocked down with a stick. Tao Xi screamed and threw himself on the ground.

Ling Makeup turned around. The wind lifted the light veil on the fence, revealing a white jade-like face.

The lieutenant was stunned for a moment, went up and slapped his scalp on the soldier's head, and shouted: "I'm tired of living, didn't you hear what the princess said?"

The soldiers had never seen such a beauty, their eyes were straight, and they forgot to avoid it at all.

Ling Xuan said: "After the fight, take it to the main tent of the Chinese army to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Tao Xi heard this, he didn't care about the pain in his back, and he was ecstatic: "See ...... See His Royal Highness ......the Crown Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel that this kid was a good life, and his subordinates didn't dare to fight hard, so they finished beating the rest of the military sticks in the blink of an eye.

The child turned around three times in one step, and when he saw that Tao Xi had caught up, he grinned happily, but his weak hand was still tightly dragging the broken basket, which contained three or five slices of cabbage, a steamed bun, and an egg.

Ling Xiang took him not far from the main tent, found a stone and sat down, and took out a silk silk to wipe the dirt on the child's face.

The captain was clever and hurriedly said, "The little one goes to fetch a basin of water." He turned around and ran.

Tao Xi rushed to the side, rubbed one handful after another with his hands hanging down his side, wanted to step forward to help but didn't dare, and looked very nervous.

And the guards of the main tent looked at this end.

Ling Xiang reached out to get the steamed buns in the basket, the child's eyes were full of panic and anxiety, and he looked at Tao Xi, but he didn't dare to stop it.

The steamed buns and eggs were already cold, and Ling Xiang saw Zhu Xie Saiyin standing outside the main tent with a javelin on his back, and raised his voice: "Commander Zhu Xie, let the guards below fetch some warm food." ”

Although Zhu Xie Saiyin didn't know what she was going to do, she knew that this was the crown prince's heart, snapped her fingers, and called a guard to run an errand.

When the child heard this, he timidly asked, "Did my sister tell them to bring me food?"

"Of course it's for you, what's your name, why did your mother ask you to come out and do things at such a young age?"

A trace of excitement floated on the child's face, and then he looked at Tao Xi, and said boldly: "My name is Little Rabbit, I am the youngest in the family, my father is sick and can't work in the field, my mother said, there is no ration for me at home, tell me to find food by myself, if I can't find it, I will starve to death, my father will also starve to death, I will pick up things and go back to my father to eat!"

The child's speech was clear, and Ling Xuan's tears flowed down.

The child of the poor is in charge of the family at an early age, and this child is only five or six years old, so he thinks that it is natural for him to earn food, and he still thinks about supporting his sick father, which is really regrettable.

Tao Xi said on the side: "Niangniang, what the little rabbit said is true, the little one has seen his mother beat him with his own eyes, such a thin child, but the mother-in-law beat him to death, just because the child failed to pick up rotten vegetable leaves......"

"Your mother...... Isn't it my mother?" Ling Xiang asked suspiciously.

The child was a little puzzled and asked, "Is my sister asking about my stepmother?" There is a bitter cauliflower next door to my house, and her mother is the stepmother. ”

Ling Xiang didn't know what to think, and when the captain called for water, she carefully wiped the child's head and face and washed her hands, and Guangning Wei, who was sent away, also brought a large plate of hot mutton and haggis soup.

When the child saw the meat, his eyes lit up, and he could not speak, but he handed it to him, grabbed it and devoured it, and in the blink of an eye he ate two large pieces.

Ling Xiang was afraid that he would choke, and said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, take your time, there is something for you to eat, come, drink the soup first." ”

The child took a few sips according to the words, raised his head, and his face was full of happiness: "Sister, you are so good, better than the big sister I married, I have never eaten so much meat......"

After thinking about it, he said, "It seems that I haven't had meat for a long time." ”

Ling Xiang was silent, and at this time, the curtain on the main tent was opened, and Rong Xijue walked out of it first, squinting his eyes with his negative hand, locking his wife, revealing a warm smile.

The soldiers outside saluted one after another, he raised his hand and walked towards Ling Xuan, and when he saw the child staring at him with innocent eyes, he said strangely: "Where is the child?"

Ling Xiang got up to greet him: "It's the kid I saw with His Highness outside the camp just now." ”

Rong Xijue sighed, seeing that the child's hands were full of oil and his mouth was full of food, his face was clean, the traces of chilblains on his cheekbones had not disappeared, showing red and black, and his feet were even more swollen like steamed buns, looking very pitiful, and he didn't say anything.
