Mingyin pursed her lips, her expression not looking good.
Su Liuye knew that he had his own thoughts, and it was useless to say more at the moment, so she simply stopped talking and left the remaining time for him to think.
She found a cover to block most of the candle's light. She could hear the subtle chirping of insects from the yard outside from time to time while lying on the bed.
She didn't sleep well all night, worried that Yu Xiangqin's people would chase her.
She only suffered some flesh injuries after falling from the cliff, and I believe Yu Xiangqin will not be too seriously injured.
That woman had already had murderous intentions towards her, how could she let her go so easily?
Now that she was alone with the little prince, how could they possibly be able to compete with the bandits under Yu Xiangqin?
It is safest to return to Luoxi Town.
It's just that the little prince refuses...
Su Liuye sighed in her heart and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up the next day, my aunt had already gone to work in the fields, and there were no extra ingredients in the kitchen.
Su Liuye went to pick some wild vegetables nearby and simply cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge. When she sat down, she saw that the swelling on her ankle had improved a lot, and she no longer felt any pain when walking.
"Woof woof woof!"
Seeing that she had cooked breakfast, the little white dog rushed over and barked around her again.
Su Liuye served it a bowl of porridge. When she looked up, Mingyin was sitting on a chair in the yard, looking out and wondering what she was thinking.
The other party had a special status, so Su Liuye couldn't say much to him. She put the prepared breakfast on the table and reminded Mingyin, "Breakfast is ready. Come and eat."
"Um."
The other party responded coldly.
During the meal, neither of them spoke.
Su Liuye looked at the little boy in front of her from time to time, not knowing when the boy would be willing to go back. It was really unsafe to stay here!
She can't go back alone!
"I'm done eating."
I don't know if he noticed her gaze. As soon as he finished drinking the vegetable porridge in the bowl, Mingyin got up and left. He didn't take the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks like last night.
Su Liuye guessed that the other party might be angry, so she sighed and didn't say much.
By noon, people from the village who go out to work will come.
It was inconvenient for Su Liuye to let Mingyin show up in front of others, so as not to expose his whereabouts, so he had to call him back and the two of them stayed in the room.
"Did they... say anything to you?"
Suddenly, the boy sitting there playing with the little white dog asked.
I don't know if it was because he didn't speak all day, but his voice sounded a little hoarse, which surprised Su Liuye.
She frowned and did not answer the question, but asked, "Do you not want to go back with Brother Yang at all?"
Mingyin looked back at her, his beautiful eyes filled with displeasure, as if he was blaming her for talking too much.
Su Liuye also knew that these things were not her place to ask.
What she has to do now is to hand over the little prince to Yang Chongzhou, and then she can go to Liu Fushang to collect the reward.
But looking at his expression, and the fact that he was about the same age as Dabao, Su Liuye couldn't bear it.
But……
"It's not that I want to hand you over to Brother Yang, it's that Yu Xiangqin already knows that this matter is related to me, and she has seen us a long time ago. If we don't go back, the bandits will only hurt the people in the village after they come after us." Su Liuye said, "Even if you really don't want to go back, we have to get rid of the bandits first."
"I……"
Hearing this, Mingyin's expression changed slightly, he opened his mouth and turned away, "Okay, I'll go back with you first."
"Oh well!"
Seeing that he finally agreed, Su Liuye felt relieved.
She hurriedly went out to tell her aunt, and asked her aunt to help call the ox cart driver from the village and take them to Luoxi Town.
It takes a whole day to go to Luoxi Town by oxcart from here. It happened that someone in the village was going to Luoxi Town tomorrow, so the driver asked them to go together tomorrow.
Su Liuye agreed immediately.
There is no other option here except bullock carts.
If they were asked to walk back, the injuries on her feet would not be able to hold on.
After going back to rest for a night, Su Liuye called Mingyin up before dawn the next day.
"What are you doing..."
He was obviously not awake yet. He was still angry when he was woken up by Su Liuye. He glanced at her and turned over to go to sleep again.
Su Liuye looked a little funny, but she didn't expect that the little prince would lose his temper.
She simply stopped calling him, helped him put on his clothes, and carried him out directly.
In the past, the second child was the one who often stayed in bed, and she was used to this kind of temper.
It's still dark outside, but my aunt has already gotten up and prepared breakfast.
Seeing that she was leaving with Ming Yin, her aunt enthusiastically put some baked pancakes into her hands and asked her to take them with her to eat on the way.
"Little lady, it's still dark and the road outside is not easy to walk. After you go out later, just walk along the wall. Be careful not to trip."
"Okay, aunt, I'm sorry to bother you."
Su Liuye took the pancake, weighed the child in her arms, and called the little milk dog that was chasing the chickens in the yard to leave.
"Well……"
It seemed that he was awakened by her movements. The child in his arms twisted around and hugged her neck in confusion. His soft body was warm.
"Mother..."
Su Liuye was about to ask him if he was awake when he heard the child's faint murmur in his sleep.
She was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange.
Isn't the little prince's mother the sister of Liu Fushang, the current noble concubine? She should still be waiting for news about the little prince in Sanxi Town.
If Ming Yin wanted to kiss his mother, why wouldn't he go back with Yang Chongzhou?
Her eyes flickered slightly, but in the end she said nothing. After all, this was a matter within the emperor's family and had nothing to do with her ordinary people.
Sometimes being too curious will only kill yourself.
Su Liuye followed the direction her aunt said along the wall to the entrance of the village. In the distance, she saw an ox cart on the roadside, and the driver was waiting there.
Su Liuye had already paid money yesterday, carried Mingyin on the oxcart, chose a comfortable position, and let him lie down on the haystack to sleep.
They were accompanied by several young ladies from the village, who said they had something to do and had to go to town.
"Okay, let's go!"
Seeing that everyone was gathered, the driver sat at the front, raised the whip in his hand, and the ox cart slowly moved forward.
Su Liuye was protecting Mingyin, holding the little puppy in her arms who was looking around. Her wet eyes seemed to be full of good intentions towards everything.
About an hour later, the sun rose from the distant mountains, and the child sleeping next to her was also woken up. He groaned twice and rubbed his eyes.
Seeing that he was actually on the carriage, Ming Yin's Qingjun face clearly showed panic, "Where is this place?"
