Chapter 18: Hand over the Tiger Talisman
Chapter 18 Hand over the Tiger Talisman
Mother Zhao was a little worried when she saw that posture, "Madam did this out of kindness, but she lacks people's hearts... I'm afraid those people will have some crooked thoughts."
"I know Mother Zhao's worries. People's hearts have to be tested, but we have to take the first step. We have too few people. Even if we arrive in Beihuang, we don't know what's going on there, so gather more People form a larger team, which will not do us any harm in the long run."
Although Su Ying has already recognized Su Ying's change, Mother Zhao was very surprised by what she said.
Her eyes were red with relief, "Ma'am... finally grown up."
After the prisoners came back from grabbing food, the strong man looked at Su Ying and didn't say a word. Instead, a young woman pulled a little boy who was older than Erbao and the others to kneel down in front of Su Ying.
"Thank you madam for the meal. The little lady's husband was born and died with the prince in the army. The little lady also asked the madam to take him in. We are willing to follow the madam and the prince all the way."
The woman held the child's hand tightly. She is a woman in the back house who doesn't understand any important national affairs. She has also seen Su Ying's strength these days, and knows that if they want to survive as orphans and widows, they can only find one A strong and dependable person.
Su Ying turned her head and glanced at Xiao Jin. Seeing Xiao Jin looking back at her calmly, she nodded at the woman, "Okay, what's your name?"
"The little woman is called Zhang Cuiniang, this is the little woman's child, Lin Sheng, Sheng'er, kowtow to the woman quickly."
The little boy obediently kowtowed to Su Ying, but Su Ying did not evade. Although everyone will support each other in the future, a team must have a leader. Team members should respect the leader. .
"Lin Sheng thank you Madam."
"Get up, since you have decided to move forward all the way in the future, you can do your best, and you can come and tell me if there is anything you don't understand."
"Yes Yes."
Su Ying also ignored the others, and gave Dabao medicine after eating and drinking.
When it was completely dark, Dabao's low fever completely subsided.
The little guy opened his eyes weakly, and looked at Xiao Jin who was sitting beside him in confusion.
"Daddy..."
Xiao Jin heard the movement, reached out and hugged him from the bed. "Ji'er is awake."
"Daddy, Ji'er is fine." Afraid that Xiao Jin would be worried, Dabao tried to straighten his small body with his weak body, and told Xiao Jin that he was fine.
But as soon as he moved, he touched the wound on his body, and he groaned in pain.
Su Ying was holding Erbao who had been scrubbed and came in, when she saw Dabao sitting upright in Xiao Jin's arms with a pale face.
Su Ying frowned, and put Er Bao on the bed, "Ji'er still has a back injury, what do you make him sit upright, you are not afraid of breaking his wound."
Xiao Jin knew that Dabao was stubborn, and was also worried about his wounds, "Ji'er's wounds haven't healed yet, so lean on Daddy first, Daddy will show you."
Dabao stared at Su Ying vigilantly with a sullen little face, "Daddy, I, I'm fine, no, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Su Ying looked at his frown, which was exactly like his father.
Su Ying asked Bai Shuang to bring over the leftover meat porridge.
"You have been in a coma for another two days, you must be hungry. This is meat porridge, eat it quickly."
Dabao snorted, turned his face away, "I won't eat something from you, a bad woman, you take it away."
Er Bao, who was about to eat the leftover peach cakes, held the peach cakes in his little hands, neither eating nor not eating...
Su Ying didn't want to force a child, so she put the porridge in Xiao Jin's hand, "You can solve it yourself." After finishing speaking, she turned and left the room.
She found that there was a small bathing room behind the yard, which was also built with blue bricks, and it was still firm. Now that she had this condition, she wanted to take a shower again, so that she could feel more comfortable when resting at night.
Su Ying went to the well and carried a bucket of water into the bathroom with a broken wooden bucket.
As soon as she entered, a dark shadow appeared on the courtyard wall.
He was like a dormant nighthawk, observing the situation in the yard in the dark.
After Su Ying cleaned up, she went back to the house.
The people in the room basically fell asleep.
She sat down in front of Mother Zhao and the two children, then leaned against the wall and closed her eyes.
As the night deepens, the abandoned mountain village is extraordinarily quiet.
Because it is the wet and rainy season, there are not even insects and birds outside.
Bai Shuang was in a drowsy sleep when she felt someone pulling her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Er Bao frowning at her.
"What's wrong with Miss?"
Er Bao said softly: "I, I want to go to the latrine."
In the night, she ate two bowls of porridge and drank a lot of water. Now her stomach is bloated and uncomfortable.
"The slave will take the young miss." Bai Shuang got up and hugged Er Bao.
Su Ying opened her eyes, and after seeing the two of them walking out, she also got up and left the room.
Su Ying didn't disturb them, but kept a short distance from them and watched them enter the hut.
But for a long time, Su Ying didn't wait for the two to come out of the hut.
She realized that something was wrong, and hurried to the hut to open the door. When she opened it, Bai Shuang had already been knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, but Erbao was nowhere to be seen.
Su Ying helped Bai Shuang up, and pierced her tiger's mouth with a silver needle.
Bai Shuang jumped up subconsciously as soon as she woke up, "Miss!"
"Bai Shuang, where is Linger, where did she go?"
Bai Shuang saw that it was Su Ying who had come, and remembered tremblingly saying: "Just now when the servant brought the young lady into the latrine, suddenly a black figure jumped out and snatched the young lady away. Knocked out."
Su Ying's face darkened. She was watching outside just now, and she was sure that there was no one outside, so after the other party took the person away, she must have jumped out from the back courtyard wall.
"You go back to the house first, and I will chase him back."
Su Ying jumped onto the courtyard wall and flipped out.
She first checked the footprints on the ground to determine the direction the other party left.
She took out a thumb-sized searchlight from her body and put it on her ear. She could clearly see a footprint heading towards the bamboo forest behind the yard.
In the dark night, the bamboo forest swayed like a ghost.
Su Ying came to the depths of the bamboo forest and slowly slowed down. Suddenly, a cold arrow flew towards her.
Su Ying's pupils shrank, and she dodged a flip.
A black figure came out of the darkness. When he saw the person clearly by the moonlight, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
"Su Ying, why is it you?"
Su Ying clenched the dagger in her hand and looked at him coldly, "You were the one who took the child away? What are you going to do?"
"Of course it is to get what you want. You go back and tell Xiao Jin that if you don't want his daughter to die in Huangquan, hand over the tiger amulet!"
