The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 755: Dantian Destroyed

The maid pointed to a place not far away, "I saw them over there before."

Yun Jiao turned her head to look at the maid, "Are you from Chu Country?" She had just realized that the maid’s accent was a standard dialect of Dingjing.

The maid didn’t answer and turned to leave.

Yun Jiao went toward the place the maid pointed to and soon saw her father lying on the ground, along with Xiao Chuan and Mrs. Chen and a few others.

But she didn’t see Ah Yun and the two guards.

Mrs. Chen, though lying down, was not asleep. She quickly climbed up to look at Yun Jiao, "Are you alright?"

Yun Jiao shook her head and saw Lady Wu lying on the ground, her face pale, clearly not well. She quickly went over, "Mother, what’s wrong with you?"

Da Ya sat beside Lady Wu, her face also white, "The madam and I have both had our Dantian destroyed, we have no inner strength anymore. Ah Yun and the others, and Housekeeper Lin, they, they are all gone—"

Lady Wu lay on the ground sobbing, "It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t let them take action at that time, even if we were captured, at least they wouldn’t have lost their lives. I am the one who harmed them."

Tears welled up in Yun Jiao’s eyes uncontrollably. During this period, they had shared food and accommodation, faced difficulties together, and their bond had deepened greatly. Ah Yun and the others were only in their early twenties, and now they were gone. How could one not feel heartbroken?

She lowered her head, wiped the tears from her face, and then took a few pancakes out from her bosom, speaking softly, "You haven’t eaten, right? Here, have something to eat first."

Yun Jiao handed the pancakes to Mrs. Chen, indicating for her to quietly distribute them.

Then Yun Jiao unwrapped a piece of oiled paper and took out the jerky inside, giving each person a piece.

Lady Wu lay on the ground, struggling to chew the jerky. With her Dantian destroyed, she felt entirely devoid of strength.

Yun Jiao bent down and whispered, "I’ll get you some medicine for injuries tomorrow."

"Mother, don’t worry. With some time, these injuries can heal."

Lady Wu nodded vigorously at these words.

As long as the injuries could heal, her inner strength could be restored. Then, perhaps they could find a way to escape.

After everyone finished eating half a pancake, Yun Jiao took out a cloth bag and gave everyone a handful of its contents.

Sixth Brother took a bite and blinked, "Sister Jiao Jiao, what is this? It’s quite tasty."

Yun Jiao whispered, "Gorgon fruit, it’s a type of medicine, but it can also be eaten as food without much issue."

When she went into the medicine storehouse today, she suddenly thought that no matter how much the medicine was consumed, it would remain intact. It was better than eating those pancakes, which would disappear once eaten.

For instance, gorgon fruit, barley, and yam, these were all starch-rich, almost like staples.

Goji berries were also good to eat every day, not only did they taste good and sweet, but they also nourished the kidneys and improved eyesight.

Yun Jiao then took out another bag and gave everyone a small handful of goji berries.

Gu Yuheng, while eating the goji berries, whispered, "I’ve inquired during the day, tomorrow we are to set out for Guangning."

"It’s said that the Jin Army distributes a day’s ration every morning. When we arrived today, the rice had already been distributed, but we should receive it in the morning. At least we won’t starve."

After eating some miscellaneous things, everyone regained some strength and lay down to sleep.

Yun Jiao used the men’s clothes she changed out of to cover Ruru and Third Sister, and a pair of pants was placed over Xiao Chuan’s stomach.

Then she squeezed in between Lady Wu and Da Ya and gradually fell asleep.

Although it was already May, the nights were still a bit cold, and the ground was especially damp. However, being squeezed by big Da Ya, it didn’t seem cold anymore.
