Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Xuexing coughed twice, and the captain immediately became anxious: "Your Highness, the environment here is harsh, please return to Beijing, Your Highness."

Xiao Xuexing shook his head: "No, according to the confession of those little ladies, they chased northward. They are all women, so they can't go far, so catch up."

The captain was slightly taken aback: "But...that little man is not His Royal Highness King Xuancheng..."

Xiao Xuexing waved his hand, and looked at Shenkeng again: "It must be very human to be able to use such a means, no matter who it is, it's better to take it back first."

The lieutenant glanced at the deep pit and turned his head away for a moment, not daring to look any further. He took Xiao Xuexing's words for granted. What he just said was brief, and he got more information when he asked the question. Anyway, the little man was unarmed. He was still weak, but he wiped out a bandit village in one fell swoop.

Xiao Xuexing didn't care about these people anymore, these robbers exposing their corpses in the wilderness are not enough to anger the common people.

On the way forward, Xiao Xuexing had someone question those little ladies carefully, and after learning about the ins and outs, he was even more interested in the so-called descendants of Liu Song.

It is said that the young gentleman is about the same age as Rong'er, and at such a young age, he is quick-witted and ruthless, and he accurately grasps the greed of these robbers. No matter where he comes from, it is unusual for him to have such qualifications. Xiao Xuexing has never stuck to one pattern in employing people. , if possible, it is best to keep it for your own use.

Xiao Xuexing led the team all the way to the north, and occasionally saw traces along the way.

Those traces are very shallow, presumably they have been dealt with in order not to be traced, if Xiao Xuexing's men were not all elite soldiers, and the scouts were also selected as meticulous as dust, I'm afraid they might not be able to find these traces.

It's just that these traces disappeared when they approached Nandun Prefecture, and those people seemed to have evaporated suddenly, and they could no longer be found.

Xiao Xuexing sent people to search for it for a long time but failed, and also lost the news of Xiao Zirong, and his mood became more and more depressed.

The attendants who have been with him all the time dare not say a word, not only because of the matter of King Xuancheng, but also because of Nangun Prefecture... It can be regarded as the sad place of their highness.

The attendant asked cautiously: "Your Highness... Now that you have arrived here, would you like to sacrifice to your ancestors?"

He didn't really want to ask this, after all, this was the scar of His Royal Highness, but it was impossible not to ask, if His Highness wanted to pay homage, they would still have to look for the item.

Xiao Xuexing looked east, after a long pause, he turned his head and said coldly: "No need, this king has been out for a long time, yesterday His Majesty was still urging this king to return to Beijing quickly, let's go back first."

After hearing this, the attendant didn't dare to say much, and stepped back to prepare for returning to Beijing.

Xiao Xuexing glanced at Dong Bian again with a sneering smile on his face: "If there is not even a single remains left, how can we sacrifice?"

It's just a pity that he doesn't have clairvoyant eyes, otherwise he would be able to see that the person he has been looking for is heading east at this moment, and the traces they followed before were left by Xiao Zirong on purpose by Liu Cainiang.

A group of weak women and Xiao Zirong, who is not a woman but is frail, finally arrived at the destination.

Xiao Zirong looked at the place full of wild grass in front of him, but he couldn't see the appearance of the gathering place of the big clan, but occasionally saw some remnants of foundations and other traces on the ground, indicating that a big clan once lived here.

They slept in the open air along the way, this is really not a lie, I think Xiao Zirong still had a tent when he went camping, these days they are really in the sky.

Fortunately, it's not too cold now, and it's still possible to find some grass on the ground to isolate the earth's air.

Now here, although the conditions are not better than those on the road, fortunately, the rammed earth foundation is still there, and cleaning up those weeds and the like will save them a lot of trouble.

Xiao Zirong walked around and was quite satisfied with this place, but when he came back, he saw Liu Cainiang and those little ladies kneeling down to something, he couldn't help but walked over strangely: "What are you doing?"

Liu Cainiang said seriously: "We want to live here, of course we have to say hello to the host here."

Good guy, feudal superstition, but Xiao Zirong knew that people these days believed in it, and he said before that this family died in vain, so he could feel at ease anyway, so he didn't say much.

After the worship, there is a rush of weeding activities.

This area is very big, and now Xiao Zirong and his group will have less than 100 people, oh, those children are not counted, but even if these children are counted, there are not many people, so there is enough living space.

Xiao Zirong participated in the weeding and repair work on the first day, and then found that he was not as good as those weak-looking ladies in this respect.

Not to mention those who don't look weak at all, most of them work faster than him, and not only that, they can coax their children to cook after work.

Xiao Zirong looked at these little ladies bursting out with great vitality in such a difficult illusion and couldn't help but admire and said: "Who says women are not as good as men."

Liu Cainiang wiped the sweat off her face and said with a smile: "Little Lang looks like he was spoiled and raised. It's normal not to be good at this, so don't worry about it. If you are tired, you won't be beautiful."

Xiao Zirong was a little embarrassed, he was a majestic man, because of his relatively weak body, he did as little as he could, but seeing these little ladies busy around, it was still okay for him to dodge by himself. Excuse me.

Seeing him like this, Liu Cainiang couldn't help but sigh: "I thought that men in this world were like those scum, but I didn't expect there to be someone like you."

Xiao Zirong turned to look at her and smiled, "I'm like this? What's wrong with me? Isn't this normal?"

Liu Cainiang said in her heart that it was certainly not normal, but she also knew to some extent that the character of a good-born young gentleman must be much better than that of the robbers.

Just as she was about to say something, she saw A Yin hurried over and said, "Cai Niang, A Man just passed out for some reason."

Xiao Zirong and Liu Cainiang immediately got up and went to have a look. When they passed by, many people were surrounding Aman and whispering her name.

Liu Cainiang asked: "What's the matter? Did she feel unwell just now?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, and Ah Yin said, "Aman just said that he has a headache."

Liu Cainiang softly called Aman's name twice, but Aman didn't respond, and a look of anxiety appeared on her face.

These little sisters have been dependent on each other all these years, and the ones who left before made everyone very sad, but everyone has their own destiny, and there is no way for everyone to have their own choices.

Now another one suddenly fell ill. At this time of lack of clothing and clothing, being sick to the point of fainting basically means that there is no hope.

Xiao Zirong has been watching from the back and didn't come forward, but seeing Liu Cainiang panicked, there were already little ladies beside her crying, and finally couldn't help but walked over and said, "Let me see."

Liu Cainiang quickly gave way to her seat, Xiao Zirong lifted her hem and squatted down to observe carefully, and found that Aman's face was flushed at this time, with sweat dripping on her face, and just about to reach out to take the other's temperature, she suddenly thought that the other party was a little lady He retracted his hand and asked, "Do you see if she has a fever?"

Liu Cainiang quickly tried Aman's forehead with her hand, and said anxiously: "It is indeed feverish, what's the matter? It was fine before."

Xiao Zirong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's heatstroke, oh, it's sunstroke, don't surround her first, move her to a cool and ventilated place, and then find some medicine to restore yang and take it."

Liu Cainiang immediately picked up Aman, and Xiao Zirong saw that she easily picked up a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl and looked at his thin arms and legs. He was very envious for a while, thinking that after he settled down, Putting exercise on the agenda.

Xiao Zirong walked over there and said: "The sun is scorching now, everyone put down the work in hand and take a rest, it will be useless to wait for a while, if you are tired and suffer from heatstroke, it will be troublesome."

He said this to Liu Cainiang, originally he wanted Liu Cainiang to give orders, and he could see that these little ladies listened to Liu Cainiang.

That's right, Liu Cainiang was originally the biggest one, and she was straightforward, not the kind of indecisive person.

In the end, what he didn't expect was that these little ladies listened to him and responded one after another, remembering not to just scatter around Aman to enjoy the cool.

Xiao Zirong was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but at this moment Liu Cainiang called him, "Xiao Lang, what should I do next?"

Xiao Zirong immediately walked over and said: "Use a cloth towel to get some water to cool her down, that... not only the face, but also the body, and some salt water, don't put too much salt, a small amount is fine, yes, there is Medicine? Aconite or ginger and cinnamon will do.”

In fact, if it is simply heatstroke, just lower the body temperature and add some salt water, and take a rest.

It would be fine for a healthy little lady to deal with it this way, but Xiao Zirong was not sure if Aman had been abused in the village before, and after much deliberation, she still felt that it would be better to use some medicine.

Liu Cainiang paused, and asked with some confusion: "The medicine...we don't have it."

Xiao Zirong froze for a moment: "What?"

Liu Cainiang said helplessly: "There are rough people in the village, and few people know about herbal medicine. At most, there are some common medicinal materials, and they can't go to the town to buy them, so..."

Xiao Zirong was stunned: "Not only do you have no medicine, but don't those robbers also have any?"

Liu Cainiang nodded with difficulty, Xiao Zirong asked again: "Then what should I do if I'm sick?"

Liu Cainiang sighed: "What else can I do? If my life is good, I will pass it, if my life is not good, then..."

Xiao Zirong: ...

He had a headache and said: "It's okay without medicine, let her cool down quickly, and everyone should try to cool down as much as possible to avoid heatstroke. Aman's situation can be cured, but if it is more serious, it will be hard to say."

As soon as Xiao Zirong finished speaking, he saw Liu Cainiang starting to untie Aman's belt, and immediately said:! ! !

I haven't left yet!

He quickly covered his face with his sleeve and ran out.

After knowing that there was nothing wrong with Aman, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling hot, they found places to rest one after another. They couldn't help laughing when they saw Xiao Zirong chasing after him like a ghost.

They usually see people who have no manners, righteousness and shame. When have they seen such a young gentleman?The older ones who had children even made fun of him.

Xiao Zirong fled, found a shady place to sit down and began to search for some commonly used medicinal materials in his brain, oh, not commonly used, but common, that is, they can be collected everywhere.

For example, some wormwood and imperata should be prepared, but those that are poisonous in themselves should not be taken, and those that are easy to be confused with other plants should also be excluded.

Although Xiao Zirong has an entire library to support him, the pictures belong to the pictures, and the identification of herbal medicines still requires experience.

He originally had the idea of ​​persuading Liu Cainiang to find a way to communicate with the outside world, but it was difficult to speak before, but now he has an excuse.

With the correct treatment method, Aman woke up after a while.

Liu Cainiang saw that she was just a little weak and her body was no longer hot, so she told Ah Yin to take good care of Ah Man, got up and walked to Xiao Zirong who was sitting far away from them.

Liu Cainiang said with a sigh of relief: "I have encountered such a thing before, but unfortunately I don't know why, those robbers didn't care about us, causing many sisters to..."

Liu Cainiang paused at this point before laughing again: "Fortunately, you know a lot. Sure enough, it was right to keep you in the first place."

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at her and hesitated for a while, but still expressed his thoughts.

He said that he was worried about Liu Cainiang being angry before, but Liu Cainiang nodded calmly and said, "Okay, you have the final say."

Xiao Zirong:? ? ? ?

He said blankly: "What do you mean I have the final say? They listen to you, you can discuss it and see if there is a better way for everyone to accept."

Liu Cainiang couldn't help laughing and said: "What are you listening to me, haven't you noticed? Sisters are listening to you now."

Xiao Zirong stared at Liu Cainiang with wide eyes, and Liu Cainiang said, "You are their savior, if you don't listen to you, who will you listen to?"

Xiao Zirong was a little strange: "What about you?"

Liu Cainiang looked at Xiao Zirong seriously: "I also listen to you."

Just as Xiao Zirong was about to say something, Liu Cainiang said, "I know what you're thinking, but you've seen it too. We haven't read books, we haven't even had contact with the outside world, and we don't understand anything. I don't understand anything when things happen You can’t deal with it, no matter what you encounter along the way, you always have a solution, everyone listens to you not because of your gender, nor just because of the grace of saving lives, but because of your ability.”

Xiao Zirong looked at Liu Cainiang dumbly: "Then what if I didn't stay?"

Liu Cainiang chuckled lightly: "Then we will fend for ourselves."

It's so easy to say, but Xiao Zirong understood why Liu Cainiang insisted on keeping him.

At this moment, although Xiao Zirong was a little helpless, he didn't feel anything.

Anyway, no matter where he went, he started from scratch. If he was alone in the Qi country, he would worry about being found. If he went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he would also worry about not being familiar with the place where he lived. Now, at least someone is with him.

There are many people and strength, and the climate and environment here are not bad. Even in winter, I don’t worry too much about freezing to death. Generally speaking, Xiao Zirong is satisfied.

Just when he was satisfied, Liu Cainiang suddenly said: "But there are many problems now. First, we don't have enough salt and food. Second, we don't have much money. Even if we go to town, we can't buy much. Second, we don't have enough food. Third, there is not much arable land around, and the land is relatively thin, even if it is planted, it may not have a good harvest this year."

Xiao Zirong: ...

He was wrong, the start was not good at all.
