The Princess Seeks Money: The Empress of the Unparalleled Kingdom

Chapter 172 The Mute

Jiang Duruo nodded, and said, "Well, at least I didn't waste the precious pill Sanpang gave me." Maybe it was Shang Huaisu's improvement that really made Jiang Duruo relax a lot, and even she seemed to speak briskly a lot.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fei Hong didn't dare to be careless for a moment. The forest was deep and dense, even if Mu Yunxi's people couldn't find it, there might be some ferocious beasts. Although Fei Hong knew kung fu, ordinary beasts He couldn't get in front of her, but if Jiang Duruo didn't know martial arts, Shang Huaisu couldn't afford to be seriously ill, and she couldn't take care of so much by herself, so she had to be extra cautious.

Moreover, after nightfall, the weather became much colder, and they wore less clothes. Even with a fire burning, they still felt the chill. I got cold.

Jiang Duruo was afraid that Shang Huaisu had just recovered, and it would be bad if he caught a cold and had a fever, so he hugged him in his arms and wanted to use his body to warm him, but she was not warm at all, her body had already It's so cold, how can I warm Shang Huaisu? Seeing that Shang Huaisu's complexion is getting worse and worse, and his body is starting to have a fever, Jiang Duruo is in a hurry.

Especially in the dead of night, the wild beasts in the woods also started to move. Many nocturnal ferocious beasts began to look for food at this moment, making depressive low growls, which made people's hair tremble. Jiang Duruo seemed to vaguely hear howling wolves .

"No!" Suddenly, Jiang Duruo said in a deep voice, "Feihong, if this continues, we will all die here, we have to find a way to stay overnight!"

Feihong knew it too, but they had nothing on them, and there was no good way to do it.

Jiang Duruo looked up at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly his face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Feihong, let's go!"

"Go?" Feihong was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

"Go and see if there is a village nearby, we'd better find a village to stay overnight!" Jiang Duruo said solemnly.

"But I'm not familiar with this place, and I don't know if there are any villages nearby." Feihong wondered.

But Jiang Duruo said firmly: "It's okay, it's not far from Yucheng, I noticed it on the way when Mu Yunxi kidnapped me, there are many small villages around Yucheng, there should be some nearby, let's look for it, It's better than freezing to death here, and the night is dark, Mu Yunxi's people might relax their vigilance, and we won't be so cold when we move around."

Feihong listened to Jiang Duruo's words, pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily and said: "Alright, Sister Du Ruo, let's carry His Highness together."

Jiang Duruo raised his hand and stopped him, saying: "No, with the two of us carrying it, we can't walk through this dense forest even if we are exhausted. Go and get some sturdy vines and grass, and then pick up some sturdy branches. A stretcher, so it's easier to lift."

"Oh, good!" Feihong agreed, although she didn't know what the stretcher Jiang Duruo was talking about was, but it must be something beneficial to them, so she didn't ask any further questions, and turned around to look for vines and branches nearby.

Soon, Feihong came back with a lot of things, and Jiang Duruo ordered: "Come on, help me look after Shang Huaisu, and I'll make a stretcher."

Fei Hong responded, stepped forward to help Shang Huaisu, and Jiang Duruo quickly picked out a few straight and strong branches from the branches, arranged them in a row on the ground, and then used vines and grass to see the branches going back and forth. Shuttle, after about a stick of incense, she stopped.

Returning to Feihong's side again, he said to her: "Alright, let's try to carry Shang Huaisu onto the stretcher."

Together, the two tried their best to carry Shang Huaisu onto the stretcher.

Jiang Duruo was panting heavily from exhaustion, and couldn't help cursing: "Damn girl, you look skinny like a monkey on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to get fat secretly, sister is exhausted to death!"

The two of them rested for a while, and before it was too late, they lifted the stretcher and walked out of the woods.

Because there is a stretcher, it is much easier to lift up. Although it is difficult to walk in the woods, it is already much more convenient. Otherwise, with the two girls, it would be impossible to get Shang Huaisu out.

The two walked with difficulty for two hours before finally walking out of the woods, but a field was obviously still some distance away from the village.

Both of them were exhausted. Putting Shang Huaisu on the ground, they also squatted down on the ground and began to pant. Jiang Duruo couldn't help cursing: "Damn, wait until the motherfucker wakes up!" , I will definitely ask him for life-saving money, my aunt is exhausted."

Looking at Jiang Duruo's appearance, Feihong couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling.

The two rested for about half an hour before Fei Hong had to remind her: "Sister Du Ruo, although we are far away from the beasts in the woods, this is a plain, and if it is dawn, Mu Yunxi's people will easily spot us , so we still have to take advantage of the darkness and quickly find a place to stay."

Jiang Duruo looked at the sky that had already started to turn pale, his complexion sank, he nodded and said, "You're right, let's go!"

The two of them did not dare to hesitate, and tried their best to carry Shang Huaisu all the way forward. Finally, before dawn, they saw a small village. The village was not big, with a population of only a dozen households. Hunters who hunt for a living in the nearby mountains.

Overjoyed, the two hurriedly quickened their pace and headed straight for an adobe house on the top of the village.

When he got close, Feihong went up to knock on the door, and soon, a strong man about 40 years old opened the door, saw two girls, Feihong and Jiang Duruo, dragging a seriously injured man, his face darkened, and he said nothing. , hurriedly let the two into the house.

Originally Feihong was in a dilemma, how to find an excuse to cover it up, but unexpectedly, this big man is very knowledgeable, without asking anything, he took them in, gave them food and medicine, very warm-hearted.

Jiang Duruo and Feihong are vigilant people, even though the other party treats them well, they dare not take it lightly, and while helping to treat Shang Huaisu's wound, they ate something symbolically.

After placing Shang Huaisu properly, Jiang Duruo couldn't help but walked up to the strong man and said gratefully, "Uncle, thank you for taking us in."

The uncle shook his head, pointed to his mouth, babbled and couldn't speak, and then Jiang Duruo realized that this uncle was actually a mute.

She couldn't help feeling relieved, a dumb person, at least he wouldn't talk nonsense to the outside world.

Jiang Duruo took off a jade hairpin from his head, and said: "Uncle, we are in trouble and have no money with us, only this hairpin is worth a little money, it should be our thank you gift!"

Jiang Duruo said, and handed over the hairpin.
