Chapter 45: Stabbing the Knife
This is a place to rest and recuperate, and the surrounding terrain is flat and open, so you don't have to worry about being ambushed by the enemy.
There was a not-so-big forest not far away, Xia Jing thought about it and walked towards the woods.
Bai Mei, who was following behind, found that they had walked out of the team, so she asked the doubts in her heart, "Princess, where are we going?" ”
Xia Jing replied casually: "Out of Gong." ”
Bai Mei raised her eyes and looked at the woods not far away, and knew in her heart, "Actually, you want to say Gong and let the guards temporarily surround a small tent, why bother to run out of the team in person, now the world is too chaotic, and the slaves and maids are worried that the woods are not safe." ”
The more the little girl spoke, the more she felt that the woods were unsafe, "Why don't you call a few guards to come over?" ”
Xia Jing glanced at the girl, "I'm a woman, do you let a few big men surround you and ask them to listen to the sound of water?" Can I still pee on your master? You're not embarrassed, I'm embarrassed, don't babble. ”
After that, he covered his mouth and frowned in pain, this bubble is really difficult to go away.
Bai Mei was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and imagined that scene in her mind...... I really want to cover my face!
She patted her face, which was so hot that she could fry eggs, and when she saw that the princess had gone away, she quickly chased after her.
Xia Jing noticed the little girl's red little face, and felt funny in her heart, this little face was too tender.
When the two entered the woods, they realized that the woods in front of them were different from what they had imagined.
The woods that the two imagined, at least there were small bushes in the woods, and it was convenient to come here at least with a shelter.
And the grove in reality, where did the bushes come from on the ground, the ground has been plucked several times, and the slightly larger trees have even been stripped of their skin, which is too miserable! A few trees are still alive and well, and most of them have dried up.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Xia Jing thought of one word in her mind: three-light policy!
It's so ruthless!
Sure enough, the history books are right, where the refugees pass, it is like locusts crossing the border, and no grass grows!
The woods without shelter are obviously not suitable for women's convenience, Xia Jing looked around, frowned slightly, and said lightly, "Go back." ”
"Princess, wait for the slave maid for a while, since you are here, pick up some branches and go back, the bubbles in your mouth have not disappeared, the slave maid just picked up some firewood and went back to boil rice porridge."
Xia Jing saw a lot of small people coming from the team, and thought that they were here to collect firewood, "Okay." ”
"Princess?!"
The little servants never expected to see the princess in the woods, it should be said that they didn't expect Xia Jing to come to this grove.
Since they met, they naturally came up to salute, "The slave has seen the princess." ”
"No need to be polite, you're busy with yours." Xia Jing motioned for them to get busy and leave her alone.
The movements of the little ones are not as gentle as the white plums, they only pick up some branches on the ground, they bring axes here, and when they see the dry trees, they directly throw off their arms and cut them.
Xia Jing leaned against the tree and closed her eyes and immersed her spiritual power into the ground, wanting to see if there were any plant roots left out by the homeless people underground.
After not eating vegetables for many days, without vitamin supplements, the ulcers in her mouth were difficult to heal, and she desperately needed a little fresh food supplements.
Of course, canker sores are also related to physical fitness, and sometimes people are more likely to get ulcers when their physical condition deteriorates.
"Princess, when you're tired, we'll go back and rest." Bai Mei ran over, and behind her was a small servant, who was holding a bundle of firewood in his arms.
Xia Jing opened her eyes and glanced behind her, this little girl was quite attractive, and shook her head: "It's okay." ”
With that, he walked around her, went to an open space, squatted down, took a dagger from his sleeve pocket, and dug it into the ground.
"Princess, what are you digging?" Bai Mei came over curiously.
After digging a few times, a few white round particles were revealed in the soil, Xia Jing picked up the white round particles, handed them to Bai Mei, and said with a smile: "Na, that's it, do you know it?" ”
Bai Mei was also a child of a poor family when she was a child, how could she not know her, she nodded.
"Princess, what is this?" The little guy holding the firewood also came over, staring curiously at the white particles in Xia Jing's hand, could it be some kind of valuable medicinal herb?
The corners of Xia Jing's mouth curled slightly, "As soon as I heard you speak, I knew that you had never suffered since you were a child, you should be the son of a family in the house, right?" ”
Xia Jing hadn't seen this little guy in front of her, or she hadn't seen it in the mansion or she didn't take it to heart.
The little girl nodded happily: "Yes, the small one is a family child, and it is rare for you to remember the small one, princess." ”
The corners of Xia Jing's mouth twitched slightly, she knew that he was the son of the family, not because she knew him, but because she knew that the life of the son of the family in the house was richer than that of ordinary merchants outside.
Therefore, listening to this kid speak, he knows that he has not suffered since he was a child, and if he bought it from outside, he must have a bitter history in the past, and he has survived the poor days.
"Baimei, tell this kid, what is this?"
Bai Mei glanced at the other party, and her tone was quite disgusted, "I heard clearly, what the princess has in her hand is a rhizome called wild onion, and this small round particle knows at a glance that it is the rhizome separated from the wild onion, which is also equivalent to a seed." The main rhizome must have been picked out by the homeless people, and these newly separated small rhizomes were left in the soil. ”
If the princess doesn't find them, maybe when the rain is the right temperature, they will sprout out of the soil again.
"So this is a wild vegetable, not a precious medicinal herb?" The little guy stared at the mud under his feet incredulously, and saw that the princess didn't dislike the dirt and went to dig it herself, and he thought it was something valuable.
"Precious medicinal herbs?"
Bai Mei seemed to hear some big joke, and laughed regardless of the image, "Haha...... I can't see that you're still a money junkie! Everything looks like it's shining gold! ”
Xia Jing has a cheating weapon, and took the little girl around to find a small handful of green onions, which is not easy, mainly because the underground is too clean by the homeless.
When he returned to the resting camp, he found that there were many people around Wang Jia from a distance.
"What's going on again? The cry sounded like the voice of the county lord. Bai Mei stretched her neck to look forward, there were too many people around her and she couldn't see anything.
Xia Jing frowned slightly, what does this voice look like, it was originally the voice of the eldest lady, and this hysterical cry should not be small.
The other family members around the periphery saw that it was Xia Jing, and they all consciously got out of the way.
There are also a lot of people in the circle, several parents, a few women, and many maids.
King Qian stroked his forehead with a headache, frowned tightly and was at a loss, and when he raised his eyes, he found Xia Jing coming in, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He beckoned to Xia Jing, "Princess, you came just in time, you come over to persuade Xian'er, let her want to open a little, don't be too obsessed with anything, you really don't touch the south wall and don't look back." ”
Xia Jing: "......" She doesn't know what happened yet?
Li Chengxian wiped her tears with a handkerchief, turned her head and glared at Xia Jing with hatred.
Xia Jing was stared at inexplicably!
Li Chengxian turned around and cried again: "Father, you can't see me well, add a block to my heart, let the culprit of the Xia family comfort me, isn't this a stab in my already bloody heart?" ”
