Chapter 301 3 Bad News
When Zhuyue came back, he brought two ragged and dusty little boys with him.
They look to be about ten years old and are a pair of brothers.
Gen Zhuyue said that their parents died of starvation some time ago, and now they are the only ones left to depend on each other.
In fact, this is not the first time that Zhuyue and his friends have come to help this village.
The last time was over a year ago.
The two brothers have good memories and they both remember Zhuyue.
So when Zhuyue came again this time, the two brothers wanted to follow him, saying that they could do anything for him as long as he was willing to take them away.
Zhuyue chased them past and told them not to follow, but the two brothers were stubborn and followed quietly even when they were told not to.
Finally, Zhuyue finally agreed to them.
But it was also made clear that they would be tested, and only if they passed the test could they stay.
The brothers were very determined and vowed to stay.
Zhuyue told Shen Yindi about the situation.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Shen Yindi's mouth.
Isn't this just like searching for something in vain?
They were in need of good seedlings, and then two little brothers came. Perhaps it was fate.
Of course, they must not be told this and must not be allowed to have any fluke mentality.
You have to pass the test. It's not that easy to cultivate talents! Not only do you need to be talented, but you also need to be loyal and have good character!
That night, they worked until the second half of the night. Shen Yindi glanced at the time. It was four o'clock in the morning.
After a night of hard work, the food for the village was finally distributed.
In addition to some food, General Qi also sent some vegetable seeds and wheat seeds.
After all, the food would eventually run out, and they couldn't keep sending it.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. We cannot let them develop the bad habit of sitting back and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
General Qi is very clear about this principle.
The food they sent tonight is only enough to last for three months, even if we are very frugal. After three months, we will still have to rely on ourselves.
After completing these, they started to copy.
Zhuyue brought his two little brothers with him. Even though it was almost dawn, they didn't seem to be sleepy. They might have been afraid that Zhuyue would not want them.
General Qi did not say anything about Zhuyue taking people back. He knew that Zhuyue and the others had plans, but he did not ask more questions.
When we returned to the village, it was almost dawn.
They all needed to catch up on their sleep.
Si Qi didn't complain of being tired all night. He was in good spirits.
Shen Yindi slept until about 3:00 p.m. and woke up. It had been a long time since she had stayed up all night, so it was normal for her to feel a little tired.
After washing up, she went out to find something to eat, and saw Zhuyue, Qi Yue and others sitting in the yard chatting.
Chu Yun and Chu Yao were also there. They didn’t stay up late and were still in good shape.
The only person I didn’t see was Si Qi. She must not have woken up yet.
"Adi, you're awake. How do you feel? Are you tired?" Chu Yun asked with concern.
"It's okay. I'm not tired after getting enough sleep. I'm just a little hungry now." Shen Yindi said disapprovingly.
After all, I am still young. This is my biggest asset. Staying up all night once or twice is nothing.
"Adi, shall I take you to the kitchen to eat something? We have all eaten." Qi Yue stood up and said proactively.
"it is good."
"Yuer, how are the two little brothers I brought back in the early morning?"
"I asked them to take a shower and change into clean clothes this morning, and now they are sleeping in their rooms."
"Maybe I was too tired and scared during this period, and I was exhausted both physically and mentally. I slept very deeply."
"Well, let them have a good rest first."
"Zhu Yue said that they have a good foundation and are good candidates for martial arts training. Although ten years old is a little late, as long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely catch up." Qi Yue told her the general situation.
"That's great. I don't really understand these things, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of them in the future!" Shen Yindi said earnestly.
"You don't have to be polite, Adi. These are our responsibilities. The prince will always be Zhuyue's master. I am his wife, and I am willing to be loyal to the prince and you together with him." Qi Yue also expressed her opinion.
Shen Yindi put his arm around her shoulders with a knowing smile on his face.
"In fact, for me there is no master-servant concept. We just work together to do a good job."
"You all can help my prince, and I am always very grateful in my heart."
"As long as I can do anything for you, I will definitely do my best and will do my best."
Qi Yue smiled and said, "The plaster you gave my father yesterday, he said it was very good."
"You must keep taking your migraine medicine. Uncle Qi will get better."
Shen Yindi also has confidence in himself.
Arriving in the kitchen, she ate quickly. She was really hungry.
She had to go to another village to see them off, but she didn't plan to go there again. Some things are enough to experience once.
She needs to deal with these medicinal herbs.
I have collected a lot of herbs these days. I need to process them as soon as possible.
Chu Yan, Mu Ningyuan and Yan Shu have been there for five days. I don't know how things are going? Is there any progress?
There has been no news coming back. Although Shen Yindi didn't say anything, she was still worried.
In the next few days, Shen Yindi did not go out and stayed in the village processing herbs.
She checked the pulses of the two boys and found that they were healthy, but they were a little thin and malnourished.
These can be supplemented later, so Shen Yindi doesn't have to worry.
That day, Si Yin's letter arrived again.
This is the tenth day since Chu Yan and Mu Ningyuan left, and they still haven't returned.
After receiving Si Yin's letter again, Shen Yindi felt inexplicably nervous.
It must be something bad. Otherwise, Si Yin would never send someone to deliver the letter.
Shen Yindi called Si Qi, Chu Yun, Chu Yao, Zhu Yue and others to her room.
She was not used to reading letters, so this task was given to Si Qi.
After all, it was written by her brother.
Si Qi looked at it and frowned slightly.
This time there are two sheets of content.
"Qi'er, what did your brother say in the letter?" Shen Yindi asked impatiently.
Looking at Si Qi's expression, she already had a somewhat uneasy feeling.
"The capital has been very busy lately. My brother said the biggest event is that Shuya is missing!"
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed, especially Chu Yao.
Lin Shuya is one of her best friends.
"She has been missing for a few days. Lord Lin has been looking for her, but there is still no trace of her."
"Second, the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Nanyue have arrived in the imperial capital."
"My brother said that he was someone familiar."
"And the third thing. The top assassin organization in Jianghu has already accepted the order and told us to be extra careful."
As expected, nothing good happened.
Chu Yao is now very worried about her friend's situation. How could he disappear out of nowhere?
Based on her understanding of Lin Shuya, she didn't like going out after following her father to the imperial capital to work.
It's really frightening that someone would go missing like this.
Everyone present looked very unhappy.
There was one thing they both understood.
Finally, Qi Yue asked, "Adi, are you going back?"
Shen Yindi nodded: "Almost. We will set off when the prince and Lord Mu come back."
Calculating the time, they have been out for more than half a month.
Including the time to go back, it was almost a month, which was about the same time as she and Emperor Chu had agreed.
Si Qi stroked his chin and asked, "Adi, do you think the envoys sent by the Kingdom of Nanyue are Nan Rufeng and his group?"
