A smell of body odor accompanied by the smell of urine wafted over, and the people around him held their breaths.
Ning Yue turned around and saw that Zhao Dali was indeed here.
He looked at the sun and asked, "How's it going? Can you leave? You have to hold on tight."
He was originally irritable after losing the money, but suddenly found that there was hope for promotion. His mood improved a lot, and his attitude towards the prisoners also became much better.
Ying Muqing looked at his still weak wife, squatted down and carried her on his back, "I'm sorry, sir, I wasted your time. I'll walk faster."
Seeing how knowledgeable he was, Zhao Dali took the lead and left without saying anything.
There were many people, young, old, women and children, and the team moved slowly. Until noon, no one was around. Zhao Dali asked everyone to stop and rest for a while, and gave each person a thick rice ball.
Of course, Ning Yue’s is still white-faced steamed buns.
Ying Sizhu was tired and hungry. He was no longer in the mood to pick and pick, so he devoured the thick rice balls.
Ning Yue exchanged the white-faced steamed buns from the old lady for thick rice balls. Ying Xianqing refused intentionally, but Ning Yue made him speechless with just one sentence: "I am filial to you, and I am not giving it to you. If you refuse, Is it your share?"
The old lady didn't want it, so Ning Yue stuck out her tongue playfully, "We young people have good teeth, it's good to eat more whole grains." Then she whispered in the old lady's ear: "If I get hungry later, I'll ask Li If my uncle wants it, he will definitely give it to me, and I have money, a lot of money!"
The old lady was amused by her, she just felt that this child's rare filial piety and childlike innocence were really pleasing to the eye.
The loving look on her face reminded Ning Yue of her own grandmother. She would always protect her like a hen when she was naughty. Her favorite dish was so complicated that even her mother was too lazy to cook it for her. , that is, my grandmother would make it from time to time and ask her to come back to eat.
If it was just because I didn’t want to waste that bowl of noodles at first, then I accidentally saved the old lady and changed into a ghost soldier, and got her wholehearted protection...
She understands how warm someone's pain is. If she is destined to never return to modern times, then it is really cost-effective to use some trivial sacrifices in exchange for family affection to quickly establish a positive connection with this era.
Otherwise, if she is left to live alone in this strange era, she will probably feel very lonely.
She took a bite of the rice ball, but it was still as hard to swallow as it was in the morning.
I looked around and saw a bush next to me.
Ning Yue went to talk to Li Desheng: "Uncle Li, I heard that the preferential treatment you gave me was all paid for by yourself. How can I keep asking you to pay for it? I am rich, so I will pay for it myself."
Li Desheng smiled honestly and said honestly: "No, I'm just making some conveniences for you within the scope of my authority. I didn't spend much money on anything else. The house was originally meant for me to live in. My colleagues and I squeezed in at no cost; When I buy things, stores will give me discounts, and when prisoners spend a lot of money, some even give me no money."
Ning Yue still forced him to stuff a banknote. Even though Li Desheng really didn't spend much money, he gave her his welfare after all. To have such preferential treatment, he was already much better off than others.
If you only know how to keep asking for favors, they will become thinner and thinner the more you use them.
Li Desheng resolutely refused: "My benefactor, aren't you just slapping me in the face? You saved my mother, what a kindness it is. What is the little I have to pay?"
Seeing that he persisted, Ning Yue had no choice but to forget it. It would take a long time anyway.
She put away the banknotes and pointed to the bushes: "Uncle Li, can I go change?"
Li Desheng looked along and was stunned before he understood what she was saying. The common people would just say Maokeng directly, and there were also more vulgar expressions, which were no match for these sophisticated people's love of words. He smiled: "Go ahead, go ahead."
She walked over and was about to find a hidden place behind the bushes to eat some food in the space. She also wanted to see if rescuing Wang just now had awakened a ghost soldier. Leng Buding stretched out a hand from behind and covered her. Mouth.
She was so shocked that all her muscles tensed up.
The person behind him suddenly spoke: "Shh! Miss, it's me."
It was Chaeyeon's voice.
She was so surprised that she quickly opened her hand and turned around to see that it was Caiyan and Zitong.
Caiyan had a smile on her face, holding her shoulders and looking up and down; she smiled, and tears gradually came to her eyes.
Zitong followed behind, giggling heartlessly.
"Miss, how have you been these past two days? Are you injured? Are you tired from walking such a long way? Can I rub your feet?"
Seeing that Ning Yue was still holding the thick rice ball that he had exchanged, he snatched it over, looked at it, and threw it away. He opened a huge baggage behind him and placed it on the ground, with a piece of water for food.
She raised her face and said, "Miss, I brought you some food. Eat some quickly."
Ning Yue finally realized that these two silly girls did not run away, but kept following her secretly.
She thought of the picture the ghost soldiers projected to her that day. No wonder she could see them. It turned out that they were nearby.
Carrying such a heavy baggage of food and belongings, she was too afraid to sleep in the middle of the night. She had to climb to high places from time to time to see if they had left, and she had to be careful not to get too close and expose herself. It was really difficult for her.
She looked down at the big bag, a bag containing food, more than twenty steamed buns, some dried meat, and a few fruits. The nutrition was quite balanced. Under a pile of clothes nearby, some silver and jewelry were faintly exposed. Next to the furoshiki, Caiyan's embroidered shoes had a big hole, revealing her toes that were bruised and bleeding.
Seeing Ning Yue looking at her shoes, Caiyan uncomfortably shrank her shoes into her skirt and said sheepishly: "I started running the wrong way, I ran a little too fast."
Zitong laughed on the side and said: "My sister was so anxious that she burst into tears. I have never seen my sister cry so miserably in my life. Fortunately, we met someone who showed us the way and we found her."
Caiyan raised her hand and patted her sister: "She's used to making fun of me."
Ning Yue's throat felt astringent, and she knew it was touching.
She didn't do anything for them, but they showed her sincerity.
She pretended to dig through her arms, took out a pair of new shoes from the space and handed them over, and took out a box of ointment. She smiled and said, "Look, you are still worried about me. I have made a lot of preparations."
Caiyan reached out and pushed it: "Miss, keep it for yourself. We can buy new ones in the next town."
"My time is limited, I have to go back in a while, don't push around, hurry up and put on some medicine and put on new shoes. You should make them yourself." She said, picking up a big meat bun and eating it in a few mouthfuls. I stuffed myself with a few more snacks until I was as stuffed as a squirrel.
Caiyan hurriedly brought the kettle and watched her eat it without giving any medicine.
That look, well, how should I put it, is full of maternal brilliance...
Although she is only one year older than Ning Yue, poor children mature earlier, and with the mentality of repaying gratitude, she has indeed taken good care of her as her own child over the years.
Ning Yue took a sip of water, put the food down, and then said: "Don't follow me, go back to the house quickly, my brother will come to the capital soon, and then you will follow him back to Xiang'an. Fengnian gave it to me. Silver, my life is very good."
"Miss, please don't lie to us. Are those rice balls for human consumption? I brought all my belongings with me. I know the hardships of being exiled, so I have money to help you. Brother Fengnian knew we were coming, so he saved all his money over the years. We also brought the money."
Ning Yue: I want to say that the rice balls were exchanged for big steamed buns. Is it still too late?
"All the co-authors are disobedient. He gave me the 1,000 taels from Fengnian and all the money he saved. Now he is leading the whole family to drink from the northwest wind?" Ning Yue pretended to be angry.
But their hearts were filled with emotion, and their stepmother ran away regardless, but as servants, they valued her more than themselves.
"Mama Wang said there's no need to worry. They all have some savings and won't be hungry for Brother Fengnian." Zitong shook his head proudly.
"Miss, don't drive us away. If we don't go back, we will follow you." Caiyan looked stubborn.
"Yeah, I won't leave either! I want to be with you!" Zitong also said.
Li Desheng's call came from outside the bush: "Ms. Ning, are you okay?"
