Chapter 44 Children

In the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, the willows support the wind and the water waves are light.

Several princes met to go to the outskirts of the city to hunt for treasure. Specifically, Yuan Ying forced the other two His Royal Highnesses to make an appointment, so let's go, and he insisted on dragging me.

Da Luo Village on the outskirts of the city is an ancient village. I heard that people often find treasures in the mountains behind Da Luo Village, so the destination of this treasure hunt is Da Luo Village.

Although we all wore casual clothes, others, especially Yuan Ying, could tell that we were either rich or expensive because of the expensive materials.

A fist-sized jade pendant hangs around Yuanying's waist, and a fine jadeite ring is on his finger, as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is a kid from a rich family. Judging from his description, he almost writes "I have money to steal" on his face. I" was.

The villagers of Daluo Village often went to the back mountain to cut firewood and carry water. We couldn't help but stop and watch when we saw them. Yuanjin Yuanyi showed no expression, only Yuanying grinned at the villagers.

Does he even know what the point of wearing plain clothes is?

The forest in the back mountain is dense, and the grass is green and green, and hares occasionally pass through it.

Because most of the back mountains are mountain roads, they can't ride horses and can only walk. It didn't take long for Yuan Ying to start chattering: "How long will it take to get there?"

No one answered.

……

Yuan Ying shrank his neck in embarrassment and continued to climb up, and the sky gradually darkened when he climbed halfway up the mountain.

The intermittent sounds from the forest sounded like insects and birds, and it sounded a bit penetrating.

The air in early spring was still cold, and a few people stopped to build a fire, which was small but effective.

I sat by the flames and warmed the fire, Yuan Ying took out a roast goose and shook it in front of me: "This king brought food, you... didn't you?"

I smiled and continued to warm up, and I also took a look at Yuanyi Yuanjin who was still looking around not far away. Yuanying didn't attract my attention and sat down directly: "If you help me beat my leg, I will share half of it with you." How about eating?"

With a modest smile, I took things out of the bag one by one under Yuan Ying's gaze, roasted chicken legs, steamed buns, candied haws...

In just half a cup of tea, I took out more than a dozen kinds of food. Yuan Ying stared blankly at the pile of food on the ground: "Is the grand master going to set up a stall?"

Deyi picked up a chicken leg and took a bite, then took one and stuffed it into Yuan Ying's hand: "Your Highness."

Yuan Ying swept the chicken leg in his hand with a strange expression: "Give it to me?"

"Of course it's for His Highness."

He grinned and immediately took a big bite. I took two more chicken legs and got up and sent them to Yuanyi Yuanjin: "Your Highness, eat something to fill your belly."

Yuan Yi glanced at the chicken leg in my hand and said indifferently: "I'm not hungry."

Yuan Jin came over and took the chicken leg and gnawed it quite elegantly: "Well, the taste is not bad."

"It's getting late now, should we continue the treasure hunt or go back the same way?"

Yuan Yi looked up at the sky: "What do you think, brother?"

Realizing that Yuan Yi was talking to himself, Yuan Jin's deep eyes were calm and covered with a vain smile: "It's not the second brother's style to give up halfway, right?"

Yuan Yi looked back at Shang Yuan Jin's eyes with a smile: "My younger brother doesn't have any style, but when it comes to courage, elder brother is better, isn't he?"

I don't know why, both of them are smiling, and they are talking about some irrelevant words, but I just feel that there is an ungraspable sexiness in the lonely night.

"Ahaha, since the two Highnesses want to continue the treasure hunt, I should go and tell the Third Highness." I pulled out and sat back silently by the fire.

Yuan Ying came up again and smiled indifferently: "Scared?"

I didn't speak, but turned around and asked him: "How are the three Highnesses feeling?"

He snorted lightly: "It's not very good."

"Why is that?"

The color of his eyes changed, he picked up a piece of dry grass and kneaded him into a ball: "Ever since Concubine Li went away, Big Brother seems to be a different person. He rarely smiles, and even if he smiles, you can't tell if he is real or not." I am so happy, and it is even more difficult to understand my elder brother’s thoughts after being registered as the prince. Because of my mother’s reason, my second brother was sent to the border for training at a young age. After so many years, even if my second brother didn’t talk about me, I still know that he has a heart for me. I have some complaints." He smiled wryly, "So, I really don't know what to say about the brotherhood that the grand master said."

"In time, everything will get better."

Yuan Ying's eyes lit up: "Yes, so this king asked them to come out to hunt for treasure this time to deepen the brotherhood."

To deepen the brotherhood among the royal children...

This matter... Xuan!

The sudden spread of crying in the dark night was especially clear.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, followed by another cry.

Yuan Yi frowned: "It's the cry of a child."

Yuan Ying ran forward a few steps in a hurry, turned back and shouted at Yuan Yi and Yuan Jin, "This kid must be in trouble, let's go and see!"

The crying sound became more and more obvious when a group of people walked into the depths of the jungle. The crying and screaming of the children made people very worried.

When he got closer, there was a flash of fire in front of his eyes, and one arm was grabbed by Yuan Yi: "Slow down."

Yuan Yi motioned me not to make a sound. He looked around carefully and lowered his voice: "The situation is not quite right, let's find a place to hide first."

I found a place with dense woods nearby to hide, and slowly brushed away the weeds in front of me.

Dozens of strong men piled up in one place, holding torches in their hands, all of them looked ferocious.

In the open space in the middle, a small body huddled into a ball, with tattered clothes loosely covering his body.

At this moment, the trembling eyes of that thin body were full of panic and despair.

A strong man kicked the child: "Little brat, hurry up and take out the valuables!"

The child panicked and explained: "I really don't have anything valuable..."

With another kick, the child rolled into a ball on the ground and kept crying, "Gentlemen, please do me a favor, I really don't have anything valuable..."

The strong man from before stepped forward with a pockmarked face that was a bit scary, and he quickly pulled out a short knife from his sleeve.

He took the knife and slowly gestured twice on the child's face: "Our people said how many ingots of silver you have, tell me!" The short knife was directly pressed against the child's neck, "Where did you hide the silver?" Drop by drop Blood trickled down the blade of the dagger to the ground.

The child broke down in tears and begged for mercy: "Masters, I really don't have money..."

Pockmarked face was completely enraged and he clenched the handle of the knife and sent it towards the child. A leaf fell and cut the wrist of pockmarked face.

Before I realized it, Yuanying walked out in a big way, with disdain written in the corner of his eyes: "It's your old man!"

The pockmarked face rubbed its eyes and carefully looked at the person in front of it, and suddenly it was furious: "You little boy..." Before he finished speaking, the pockmarked face flew out in an arc shape.

As I said before, Yuan Ying hates people calling him little boy.

All the strong men screamed and fled when they saw that he kicked the manager away.

Yuan Ying raised his foot to chase after him, but Yuan Yi stopped him: "Don't chase after the poor."

Checked the child's injuries, but luckily they were not too serious and only suffered some flesh injuries.

Yuan Ying grabbed the child's hand and asked, "How is it? Is there something uncomfortable?"

Since they appeared just now, the child has been staring at the people in front of him, and he is still a little dazed when being questioned: "No, no."

"Where are the parents?" Yuan Yi asked.

The child's eyes immediately filled with tears, and his small hands were awkwardly stirring the corners of his clothes: "All, all, were all killed by thieves..."

is a poor child...

Yuan Ying picked up the child and left: "Let's go back, it's important to heal the child."

"En." Yuan Yi turned and walked back.

From the beginning to the end, Yuan Jin didn't say a word. He looked at everything in front of him coldly, as if everything had nothing to do with him....

We went directly to Ji Mansion, and Ji Yun helped to check and confirm that the child was fine, and everyone was relieved.

For the sake of safety, we left the child in Jifu first, and we will pick him up after two days when the child's condition is stable.

Outside the Ji Mansion, there are layers of clouds, and the moonlight is infinitely bright.

Yuan Yi leaned sideways on the side of the carriage and looked at the moon in the sky, his eyes were very pretty in the silvery moonlight.

"Is Your Highness still leaving?"

Yuan Yi didn't move: "How does the Grand Master feel about the night tonight?"

I leaned on the carriage next to him and looked up at the moon: "The moon is very bright tonight."

"The grand master and Ji Yun seem to have a good relationship?"

When you look at the moon, you look at the moon, and talk about what to do.

I smiled and was about to prevaricate, Yuan Yi's eyes fell on my face, his eyes were calm and unwavering: "Master, does Ji Yun know how to swim?"
