She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 60 - Doudou You Are My Doudou

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Doudou, You Are My Doudou

Chapter 60 -60 Doudou, You Are My Doudou

For two consecutive days,

Jie Chen had been helping to pull a wooden cart.

The three little ones had finally started to look more favorably upon him, although they still refused to talk to him, at least they were willing to look him in the eye now.

What reassured Xiang Ying was that since the day of the note, Fang Qian had not appeared again.

He must have realized that it was pointless to continue following a master like her.

As they approached Lianhua Ferry, disaster struck the Exile Team.

The scorching weather, coupled with the long journey, caused many to develop blisters on their feet.

Several people collapsed as a result.

Yet, Jie Chen remained ruthlessly indifferent, commanding the team leader and soldiers to whip the Exiled Criminals, urging them to pick up the pace.

Only Xiang Ying could see that Jie Chen wanted to get them to Lianhua Ferry as quickly as possible.

Once onboard, there would be no need to walk, and their situation would be much better.

But under the relentless sun, with continuous walking, even the horses were snorting heavily, some unable to continue; let alone most of the Exile Team who were frail women.

Jie Chen finally ordered the Exile Team to rest on the spot.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Skinny Monkey was holding a waterskin, letting them take a sip each.

“Each person can only have a sip, no more. I’m watching!” he said, swinging his whip, chastising those prisoners who tried to drink more water.

Xiang Ying noticed a few prisoners whose faces were unnaturally red as if they were ill.

She slightly frowned.

When Skinny Monkey came over to her, Xiang Ying couldn’t help but warn: “One waterskin, so many people drinking directly from it—if one person is ill, everyone else will suffer.”

Skinny Monkey had no awareness of this, instead finding it somewhat amusing.

“Elder Princess, when traveling, one cannot afford to be too fussy. Besides, these people may look weak but they’re tough. They won’t die from an illness.”

After saying this, he asked Xiang Ying if she wanted water, to which she immediately turned her head to refuse.

Anyone close to her only drank the clean water supplied by Xiang Ying.

The three little ones were full of vigor.

They had just eaten the honeyed pork jerky made by Xiang Ying in her space and had drunk two sips of chilled mint-infused grape juice.

Now they were frolicking around Xiang Li, all three clamoring to support Xiang Li as they walked.

Xiang Ying went to Mr. Lin and instructed them not to casually drink water from Skinny Monkey’s waterskin.

“I will have Lingxiang bring you clean water every day.”

Mr. Lin, weakened by the heat, nodded slightly: “Thank you very much, Elder Princess.”

Xiang Ying also reminded the Seventh Princess, Yu Pin, and others.

She turned around and noticed that Scarface had been seemingly inadvertently following her since just now.

Xiang Ying scowled: “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

Scarface was stunned.

Xiang Ying’s tone was exactly like Jie Jianjun’s!

“No, no, no, I’m just resting, looking around,” Scarface said, somewhat embarrassed.

He really just wanted to see if Xiang Ying needed any help.

Just then, a panicked shout came from amongst the women—

“Doudou, Doudou, who has seen my Doudou?”

Xiang Ying turned to look.

An old imperial concubine was going crazy, grabbing people everywhere and asking where Doudou was.

She grabbed Xiang Qianqian’s hand, which the latter disdainfully shook off.

“Team leader, do something about it, this old imperial concubine is confused and thinks everyone looks like her son!”

The Seventh Princess sighed in Xiang Ying’s ear: “Liu Taipin was once a concubine to the Emperor Great Grandfather, and she had given birth to a Prince, but alas, he died before he was a month old.”

“That Prince’s pet name was ‘Doudou.’ Since then, Liu Taipin has been somewhat mentally disturbed, often crying or laughing without reason.”

“Back in the palace, there were people who took care of her, and regular medication to keep her condition in check. Now, without her medicine, her condition is evidently getting worse.”

The Exile Team was about to resume their journey, yet Liu Taipin was still lying on the ground crying, her shoes long gone.

People around were too busy to care; she, neither influential nor supported by children, would only end up being beaten by Skinny Monkey if she did not move on.

Seeing her bloody feet, Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes then turned to look at Scarface behind her.

“If you’re really that free, you could carry her for a while, consider it doing me a favor.”

Xiang Ying finished speaking and went to find the children.

Scar face was quite surprised.

How did she know he wanted to help her with whatever he could?

With those words from Xiang Ying, scar face didn’t hesitate, walking straight towards Liu Taipin and hoisting her onto his back.

Liu Taipin’s crying and making a fuss paused for a moment as she looked at him, confused.

“Little Pouch, are you my Little Pouch?”

“Old lady, I’m carrying you out of kindness, don’t take advantage of me, I am not your son!” Scar face said as he carried the elder with steady steps.

Liu Taipin lay on his back, gazing at his profile.

Her head full of silver hair, she suddenly burst into a silly laugh.

“You are my Little Pouch, but Little Pouch, why do you look so different?”

She extended her withered, dirty hand, shakily caressing scar face’s beard.

“Your face has gotten bigger, your skin has darkened, and you’ve grown hairy.”

Xiang Ying overheard them and couldn’t help but burst into laughter along with Tao Xue.

Scar face had a face filled with stiffness and embarrassment.

“You old…!”

Before he finished speaking, Liu Taipin had already wrapped her arms around his shoulders from behind.

“Little Pouch, no matter what you’ve become, your mother concubine will still love you.”

Xiang Ying winked at scar face: “That’s good, she takes you for her deceased son, just do a good deed and keep her company.”

Scar face felt somewhat helpless.

“I can’t carry her forever.”

“Just do what you can.”

Xiang Ying was in the middle of speaking when a noisy commotion came from ahead.

Tao Xue immediately went ahead, curious to see what was going on.

Soon she came back and said, “The scouting Vanguard Team has caught a few suspicious locals nearby.”

“Under interrogation, it was found they were fishermen who previously made a living at Lianhua Ferry.”

“They had found enemy troops and intended to hide, but now that they’ve been caught, I heard that Jie Jianjun ordered them to follow along with the ships and guide the way when the time comes.”

It seemed Jie Chen had also foreseen the difficulties of the dangerous river and arranged for a few fishermen familiar with the terrain to give directions to avoid taking the wrong path.

Xiang Ying was not particularly concerned.

That night, Jie Chen and the rest ordered the entire Exile Team to rest in place near Lianhua Ferry.

He, along with the Vanguard Team, went ahead to Lianhua Ferry to arrange the boats.

They needed a total of six large ships for these Exiled Criminals.

Now that the war had just ended, it was uncertain if they could find suitable vessels.

Xiang Ying made a batch of mung bean soup from her space and also provided cakes filled with soy sauce flavor for the children and Tao Xue, along with a small piece of soy sauce beef.

Everyone ate with relish.

Xiang Ying called over scar face and gave him a bowl of mung bean soup.

Scar face was especially puzzled: “Where did this come from?”

Xiang Ying glanced at him: “Jie Chen gave it, need you ask?”

Scar face immediately dismissed his doubts, bowed in thanks, and drank the mung bean soup in one gulp.

Seeing him so decisive, Xiang Ying teasingly snorted: “Does it taste good? I’ve put laxative in it.”

“Damn it!” Scar face got a shock and was about to induce vomiting.

Xiang Ying laughed: “I was just kidding!”

She handed him a new bowl of mung bean soup: “Take this to Liu Taipin.”

Scar face frowned completely this time: “I have important things to do, do you consider me your servant? I don’t have time.”

Helping her out once during the day should be enough, right?

However, by the time he finished talking, Xiang Ying had already stuffed the bowl into his hands.

The children were calling Xiang Ying over one after another, and she hurriedly left with “I’ll leave it to you”, leaving scar face alone.

With no choice, scar face was going to deliver the mung bean soup to Liu Taipin and leave.

But unexpectedly, he saw several soldiers tying up Liu Taipin.

“Who told you to do this!” Scar face bellowed and strode over.
