Song Jiang was catching turtledoves. "Bird, don't run!" Song Xiaobei thought to herself. The basket was filled with wild vegetables and mushrooms. The two rabbits had been captured. She watched as the birds were caught.
At this moment, Song Xiaobei could vaguely hear the sounds of close combat coming from afar. What's wrong? She quickly pulled Song Jiang over to peek. At the foot of the mountain, there were more than ten people fighting around four or five people.
" Can't see me, can't see me…" Song Xiaobei muttered as she wiped some dirt on her face and arms. She knew that this was not filming. If things went wrong, she and Song Jiang would die here.
"What are you doing? Stand up slowly." A vicious voice sounded behind them, and a bright saber was placed on their necks.
"Handsome, handsome, please show mercy.”Song Xiaobei and Song Jiang could only obey. She knew that she could not provoke him, so she said in a low voice,"My, my, my brother and I were just hunting on the mountain in exchange for two coins. We didn't hear anything, we didn't see anything. Handsome, do us a favor and let us go.”She was afraid. If the blade was a little off, her beautiful neck would suffer immediately.
"You want to leave? No way!" The villain was still angry.
The two of them were escorted down the mountain.
"Chief, we caught two spies." A villain reported the situation.
"Chief, Handsome, we are not spies. These few days, the two of us brothers have been hunting here, so we live far away. Sometimes, they lived on the mountain. Song Xiaobei pointed at the makeshift shed that was built a few days ago.”Song Xiaobei did not intend to stop talking. She did not give him time to think, afraid that the word 'kill' would pop out of his mouth, so she continued,"Handsome man, all the heroes, handsome, dignified, and righteous. I admire you the most. Everyone must be hungry. Why don't we rest in the shed first? The two of us will cook something delicious to comfort everyone. The taste was absolutely authentic and guaranteed to be memorable.”
"Alright then." The fierce-looking Chief felt a little hungry. He added,"If it doesn't taste good, be careful of your life."”
"Handsome, don't worry. However, this is not enough to fill the gaps between the heroes 'teeth. My brother and I will go and get some more.”
"You go, he stays."
"If I move slowly alone, it will be troublesome to let the handsome guys starve. Handsome, if you're afraid that we'll run away, send the little handsome guy to follow us.”
Song Jiang had never seen such a dangerous situation. He was already stunned. Song Xiaobei was worried that he would say something wrong and anger those people.
"Alright then."
Every time she went up the mountain, Song Xiaobei would wear men's clothes for convenience. The clothes were Song Jiang's old ones. They were a little too small, so Su Xiaoxiang could not bear to throw them away. Song Xiaobei was 1.66 meters tall, and she could wear her clothes after a bit of processing.
Those people didn't recognize Song Xiaobei as a woman. She was wearing a man's hair bun, and her face and body were covered in dirt. Every day, she would tell stories to Bao 'er, so it was easy for her voice to become low. He kept nodding and bowing, showing respect. Even if she had ten guts, she wouldn't dare to raise her head.
A few days ago, she found a stream in the mountains, so she and Song Jiang built a shed and set up the kitchen. Occasionally, Su Xiaoxiang would bring her son here to play.
Song Xiaobei and Song Jiang got busy, and the people at the foot of the mountain came up one after another.
"Handsome boy, help me wash the mushrooms." Song Xiaobei said with a smile. She was worried that after she washed her hands, there would be more complications.
"Is this edible?" The two underlings were attracted over.
"Of course, it's super delicious. However, the raw ones don't taste good." Song Xiaobei took a bite and chewed slowly.
After Song Xiaobei washed her hands clean, she immediately wiped the blood of the rabbit that Song Jiang had just killed. She cooked it carefully. In a short while, a special feast was prepared, and the fragrance spread everywhere. Some people's cravings were triggered, and they couldn't wait to taste it.
Song Xiaobei filled a few bowls for the leaders in fear. The leaves on the tree were big enough. She called for the others to use the leaves and branches to enjoy the delicacies.
"Chief, it is indeed delicious and wonderful.”One of the lackeys praised him.
"Heroes and handsome men, this delicacy can strengthen your body. The soup is also very nutritious. Don't miss this opportunity." Song Xiaobei greeted him warmly.
Everyone rushed forward.
"Hahaha, King Leng is invincible. Bullshit! Today, he still ended up in the hands of the King of Hell. When the ten thousand taels of gold were in their hands, everyone would go to restaurants and brothels every day. This thing is indeed delicious. Give me another bowl.”The fierce-looking leader was a little smug.
"Thank you for your compliment, handsome." Song Xiaobei scooped another bowl and thought," Eat, eat, I'll make you feel great later.
"Chief is wise! "Long live the Chief…" Everyone was overjoyed at the thought of something good.
From their conversation, Song Xiaobei learned that the person who was knocked out was the cold-faced prince of Liang, Gao Xili. He was very skilled in martial arts and guarded the border between Xia and Liang. He was the pillar of the Liang Kingdom. If it wasn't for a skinny bandit pretending to be his mother, he wouldn't have fallen into a trap in a moment of desperation. However, he did not know who had offered ten thousand taels of gold to take his life.
The pot was empty, and there was no soup left.
The clamor made everyone's ears suffer.
Song Xiaobei gave Song Jiang a look, and the two of them quietly untied the ropes on the five people on the ground.
It was him. Song Xiaobei was stunned. He did not expect that the person he saved that day was not only a handsome man, but also a super rich second-generation heir and a second-generation official. Song Xiaobei nudged him, but there was no reaction. A basin of water splashed on his face.
Gao Xili woke up and was relieved when he saw that they were safe. Song Xiaobei made a hush gesture and quietly led Song Jiang and the five of them down the mountain.
Other than Song Xiaobei, the rest of them turned around from time to time. She couldn't help but laugh." Don't worry. They're having fun. They won't chase after us."”
"You killed them?" A man asked.
"I never kill, I only make them uncomfortable.”
"Are you a woman?"
"Ha! This lady has a figure and looks, how is she like a man?”
"Miss, it's you." Gao Xili saw that his savior was that extraordinary woman.
"Hi, pretty boy, we meet again.”Song Xiaobei waved her hand in greeting. He remembered something important and quickly said,"If we save you, we won't be able to live in this village anymore. You have to take responsibility.”
"Let's leave this place first." As Gao Xili spoke, the guard brought a horse over.
"Miss, sorry for offending you." Before Song Xiaobei could understand what was going on, Gao Xili carried her onto the back of the horse and sat behind her. Song Jiang also rode with the others. Soon, they arrived at the Song residence.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" the guard asked Song Jiang.
"A little." Song Jiang said, still feeling uneasy.
The guard gave the horse to Song Jiang and rode with his good brother.
"Father, sister, you're back." Bao 'er was not afraid of strangers. She smiled at everyone. A guard carried him and sat on the horse's back.
"Xiang 'er, let's leave this place." Song Jiang said to his wife as he entered the house. Song Xiaobei and her husband packed up their belongings and left quickly.
"Sister, sing a song. Bao 'er likes it so much."
"Okay, I'll sing 'Moon Boat'." I can catch the moon, I will use countless dreams to pull countless oars...'"
"Sister, I still want to listen."
" Alright, the name of the song is 'The Legend'." Because I saw you in the crowd, I couldn't forget your face anymore…"
Everyone did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would destroy this heavenly sound. Only the sound of horse hooves accompanied them along the way.
"Sister, this song is not for children.”Bao 'er didn't understand.
"That's right. There are not only children here, but also adults.”Song Xiaobei laughed.
"Sister, tell me a story. Big brother, big sister is awesome!" Bao 'er said to the guard behind her.
Awesome? The guard was confused.
"Sister, tell me a story about a small water droplet. I am a small drop of water, living happily in the arms of my mother cloud. " I have many brothers and sisters…" Song Xiaobei described the natural phenomenon of rain and water evaporating in a simple and vivid way. Although he was telling a story to the child, the big friend listened with great interest.
"Who is Mommy?" The guard who was carrying Bao 'er asked doubtfully.
"Mom is mom. Father is father, mother is mother. Stupid!" Bao 'er turned around and explained.
"Sister, I still want to hear it."
Cough, cough, cough. Song Xiaobei felt uncomfortable in her throat. "Bao 'er, I'm sorry. My throat is protesting. Sister, can you tell me when you have time?"
"Alright, sister, let your throat rest.‘Eyes as wide as bells, ears as sharp as antennae..." Bao 'er sang to herself.
Song Xiaobei had told Bao 'er the story of " Black Cat Sheriff." Bao' er liked it very much and learned the song in a few days.
Everyone came to town and got off their horses. A guard entered the Happy Gathering Building. Bao 'er was sitting on the horse when she saw a sugar seller in the distance. She ran forward as soon as her feet touched the ground.
Coincidentally, today was the day of the market. There were many people on the road, and it was bustling with activity.
Song Xiaobei thought about how she was separated from her parents. She was worried about Bao 'er and quickly chased after her. A burly man in his thirties or forties suddenly appeared from the corner and almost collided with her. Fortunately, she was agile and stopped in time. Although he didn't bump into him, the man seemed to be frightened. When he saw a thin man coming, he was about to flare up.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. I ran too fast and didn't expect to scare you. I'm really sorry.”Song Xiaobei admitted her mistake and apologized.
When the burly man heard the voice and saw the beauty in the other party's eyes, he smiled lewdly and said,"So you're a little girl. Don't call me uncle, call me brother. Brother's heart was scared out of his wits, and his guts were broken. Brother suffered internal injuries. Pay for the medical expenses.”
"I don't have money."
"Then be my tenth concubine."
"Ten wives, aren't you afraid of dying?”
"Little sister, you have a sharp tongue, but big brother likes it. If you die under a peony flower, you'll be a romantic ghost.”As the man spoke, he tried to pull Song Xiaobei away.
Song Xiaobei had practiced taekwondo before, but there were too many people on the road, so she could not use it.
"How much did you say?"
"A hundred thousand taels."
"100,000 taels? Why don't you rob a bank?”
Song Xiaobei didn't expect that she would encounter a scam in ancient times. She had no choice. In a moment of desperation, she smiled sweetly at Gao Xili and shouted,"Husband!"
Gao Xili smiled and walked forward, asking,""Wifey, what's wrong?"
The man felt the other party's domineering and murderous aura. He felt a little guilty and unwilling. He said,"Little miss injured me, so you have to pay for my medical expenses.”
Gao Xili waved his hand, and a guard walked up to him. He said coldly,""Give it to Mu Dahai. See how serious the injury is and how much money you need to pay.”
When the burly man heard this, he dared to call his parents by their names. The other party's posture and aura were not something he could offend. Only then did he regret it. He hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy."Sir, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Please spare me.”
Gao Xili didn't appear at the first moment because he was thinking about how things would develop. If the burly man had let go, he would not have pursued the matter. However, that person was wrong and the burly man was taken away by the guards.
"Sister, I'm sorry." Bao 'er knew that she was in trouble.
"Bao 'er, there are many people on the street. Don't run around. If you were to disappear, we would all be very sad. You can't see us, and you're sad. You might even meet some bad people."
"Yes, sister. Bao 'er won't run around anymore.”
Song Xiaobei's words reminded Su Xiaoxiang. She held her son's hand, not daring to let go.
Gao Xili gave a few more instructions to another guard. That person also left in a hurry, and the others went to the restaurant. At the same time, a waiter in the shop quickly led the horse to the backyard. The waiter smiled and brought the customer to a private room upstairs. He poured tea and served the dishes one after another.
Song Xiaobei couldn't wait to finish the water in her cup and let out a long sigh. It had been a long time since her throat had suffered so much.
The guards were standing guard outside, and only Gao Xili, Song Xiaobei, and Song Jiang's family were in the private room.
Song Xiaobei looked at the table full of dishes and asked,""Are the people outside trustworthy?”
"Brothers of life and death."
"Alright then." Song Xiaobei opened the door and called the guard in.""Your master said that we are brothers through life and death, so we are family. Let's destroy these vegetables together. Don't waste them.”
"This subordinate does not dare." a guard replied.
"Sit down!"
"Yes, Master."
The round table was not crowded, and the waiter quickly added more bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone ate and chatted, but the guards remained silent. Song Xiaobei deliberately found a topic to chat with them. They gradually became less reserved, and they even took the initiative to ask Song Xiaobei questions occasionally. Everyone was eating and laughing happily.
The two guards came and went in a hurry. They whispered a few words in their master's ear before carefully sitting down and eating at the same table as everyone. The atmosphere at the table was lively, and the two people slowly relaxed from nervousness.
