"Princess, please sit down for a moment and come over to take a look." Jing Yi nodded and walked over.
With the help of a group of guards, these villagers basically had no worries and even enjoyed themselves a little.
Being cared for by so many people, the villagers seemed like masters:
"The dragon's grace is so great. His Majesty cares about us common people so much. He is really a wise king!"
"thank you all!"
"I don't want to drink porridge, can you steam steamed buns with meat for lunch?"
"Yes, sir, you are such a nice person. My wife just gave birth to a baby and wants to eat some chicken to replenish her health."
"My mother is old and can't bite meat without teeth. Can you give us some fish? Preferably fish without bones."
"Also, these thick clothes don't fit my size. Can you give me another one?"
They were happy to receive help and spoke in a catchy way when asking for it.
Several guards frowned.
His Highness the Prince only arranged porridge and steamed buns, and the meat was also a fixed portion. Unexpectedly, these villagers did not want to eat meat, but wanted to eat chicken and fish.
Where can the fish come from in such a cold weather...
He was about to retort, but the guard next to him winked.
Don't bring trouble to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although they were dissatisfied, they could only comply.
Ye Jinxiao looked at this scene without any interest, but with a casual glance, she caught a glimpse of several dark-skinned children who were hiding behind the wooden house and looking at her.
Those boys were about seven or eight years old, at the naughty age. They were wearing coarse cloth clothes and a pair of cloth shoes that were black and worn. They were hiding and looking at her with their big black eyes open.
But that look...
Not friendly.
"That's her..."
"My mother said that this kind of woman is like the fairy in the book. They can't do anything, but they have the magic of seduction. They can seduce men by hooking their fingers. If they are caught by someone, they have to dip her into a pig cage. , otherwise it will harm one party and cause no peace."
"Yes, my mother said this kind of woman is very bad..."
What are they talking about privately:
"She bullied Miss Liu and asked His Highness Prince Yu to do everything for her. She is a fairy who can suck a man's essence."
"No wonder she is so beautiful. When I grow up, I will never marry such a woman."
"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let her hear..."
Perhaps due to martial arts training, Ye Jinxiao's hearing is more sensitive than ordinary people.
The tips of her ears moved, and some small words poured into her ears. She just sat there casually, with no other emotions on her face.
Soon, Jing Yi turned back.
"Princess, it will take about half an hour."
"The master has arranged the food and clothing for the villagers, and is having people repair these dilapidated wooden houses. You can go back after a while."
Ye Jinxiao: "Oh."
Jing Yi got a thick coat and blanket to keep Ye Jinxiao warm, and brought him a cup of hot water.
Everyone was busy, but Ye Jinxiao seemed to be sitting there calmly and leisurely, as if he was here to enjoy themselves.
She took the water glass and noticed the children hiding behind the wooden house, still looking at her.
Jing Yi also noticed.
"If the princess doesn't like it, I will humble myself and tell them to go away."
"No need." Ye Jinxiao stopped him, "These villagers who were persecuted by bandits are God and cannot be offended. Don't cause unnecessary trouble for the prince."
Jing Yi was startled for a moment, and his eyes instantly lit up.
Is the princess thinking about her master?
If this trend continues, a reconciliation between the two will be just around the corner!
Ye Jinxiao lifted the lid of the cup and caught a glimpse of the children pulling their necks, looking excited and expectant, their dark eyes full of bad intentions.
When he lowered his eyes, he saw that the water in the cup was warm and contained a twisting centipede.
The centipede struggled in the water in a panic, using dozens of feet to crawl toward the edge of the cup, about to crawl onto Ye Jinxiao's hand.
If an ordinary woman saw this scene, she would be so frightened that she would turn pale and scream in terror.
However, Ye Jinxiao just glanced at it lightly.
"Pfft——"
Several children covered their mouths and laughed:
"Scared her to death."
"Who asked her to bully Miss Liu?"
"Scare this bad woman to death."
They snickered quietly, expecting to see the miserable appearance of the woman's beautiful face, but in the next second... the woman's fingertips moved slightly, and two slender green-white fingertips directly caught the centipede.
Holding the middle of the centipede, the two body parts crawled on her hand, and the densely packed tentacles moved randomly.
Without blinking or heartbeat, she simply cut off the head and tail and threw it into her mouth.
Several children were startled.
Suddenly, the woman raised her eyes and met them directly. She was chewing the centipede in her mouth with the corners of her mouth raised strangely, and black blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth...
"ah!"
Several children were so frightened that they fell to the ground and kicked back, as if they had seen a ghost.
ghost!
She must be a ghost!
She is really the goblin her mother said can eat children and suck the essence of men!
They were scared to death and ran away. When Ye Jinxiao saw them, the smile on his lips gradually turned cold. He threw away the centipede corpse hidden in the palm of his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
With so much courage, you still dare to scare her?
She was born in a rural area and grew up in a poor family, so she was very stubborn.
Two quarters of an hour later.
A burst of panicked screams suddenly broke out among the villagers, and a group of people gathered around.
"What happened?" Jing Yi rushed over immediately.
I saw a seven or eight-year-old boy lying on the ground, twitching and foaming, rolling his eyes. Something was wrong. The woman and her family were extremely anxious:
"Shun'er, Shun'er, what's wrong with you! Oh my God, my son!"
"Son, don't scare me, what's wrong with you!"
Jing Yi frowned and ordered the guard next to him, "Call the doctor over."
Soon, the doctor came.
The boy was convulsing violently, foaming at his mouth like a fish out of water, with more air coming out and less air coming in, and he would soon die.
The doctor checked his pulse but couldn't figure out what was going on.
The woman cried anxiously: "Save him quickly, save my son!"
"This..." The doctor was embarrassed, "This child's symptoms are like convulsions, but not like convulsions. Let me try acupuncture."
A few silver needles fell, but instead of getting better, the pain got worse.
The boy's face turned red and his lips were blue. He was about to die soon.
At this time, two children stood up tremblingly: "Yes...she did it...she must have harmed Wang Shun..."
The woman's eyes turned red with fear: "What do you mean by this? Who harmed my son?"
One of the children stretched out a trembling finger, "She..."
The finger pointed at Ye Jinxiao, who was holding Mrs. Tang with a serious look on her face.
"We and Wang Shun secretly glanced at her just now, and she glared at us very fiercely. She must have hated us, so she killed Wang Shun."
