Chapter 91: What a Precious Thing
Feiying glared at the villagers angrily.
"Shut up. Do you think it's your turn to point fingers at me when I make a decision?"
When the villagers heard her stern scolding, they all shut their mouths, dared not provoke her anymore, and hurried back.
Feiying found that Jiang Caiwei's identity as a villain was quite useful and saved her a lot of trouble.
They just thought they saw her buy a useless slave.
Little did they know that this skinny and small person, who looked extremely inconspicuous in the crowd, was actually the young emperor Li Chengrui from the neighboring country, Jiuyuan.
Because of the evil spirit, the dragon vein of Jiuyuan Kingdom was affected, which led to the Jiuyuan Palace coup. As the emperor, for the sake of his own safety, he moved to a safe place in advance according to the plan.
However, he never expected that he would encounter a branch of the rebel army on the way, and he and his subordinates who were escorting him were separated.
He hid his identity all the way, and because he was inexperienced, he was deceived by a bad man, who forged his slave status and sold him.
Finally, he ended up in the hands of this broker.
According to the destroyed trajectory of fate, if she had not bought him on purpose today, he would have been bought by a wealthy family later. In the end, before the Jiuyuan Kingdom put down the rebellion and his people were looking for him everywhere, he would have been beaten to death by that family because he was not efficient enough, which would have a significant impact on the pattern of the small world.
As for Jiuyuan State, due to the death of the current emperor, the country, which had just been stabilized, will further fall into civil strife. When various parties are fighting each other, other countries will send troops to attack it, hoping to gain the advantage by themselves.
The entire small world will fall into chaos, making it difficult for the people to survive.
Due to years of war, the entire small world will gradually be traumatized, and finally lead to the collapse and destruction of the entire small world.
When she came to this small world this time, her first mission was naturally to repair the broken dragon vein of Jiuyuan Kingdom. The repair process was also simple. She only had to protect Li Chengrui's safety until he returned to the throne.
The second task is for her to purify the evil clone. According to the investigation, the clone should be in Li Chengrui's body.
But because she couldn't use her full strength in the small world, she couldn't force it to appear directly. She could only wait for the evil clone to show up naturally. Then she could absorb it into her body to purify it like she did in the previous world.
She brought her people back to Jiang Caiwei's home.
This Li Chengrui seemed to be very wary of her and hadn't said a word since the whole journey till now.
Feiying knew that it was normal for this young emperor to have a strange temper after falling to this state.
So after returning home, she ignored him and watched as it was already noon. She touched her hungry stomach and searched around the house.
As a result, she discovered that Jiang Caiwei's family was just as poor as she remembered.
There was not much money and food, but there were two small jars of wine.
Feiying searched for a long time but only found half a bowl of corn kernels mixed with bran, which was barely edible.
But with this little bit, even if they make porridge, it would only be enough for them to have lunch. It seems they have to think of a solution.
While thinking, Feiying opened the lid of the pot, poured half a bowl of corn kernels and water into the pot, lit the fire and started cooking porridge.
When she saw that the porridge was almost cooked, she scooped it into a bowl.
This amount of porridge is just enough for two bowls.
She put two bowls of porridge on the table, and then called Li Chengrui to eat. He had been standing in one place since he entered the courtyard, preferring to be exposed to the sun rather than move.
"Wang Yu is here for dinner!"
Wang Yu was the pseudonym written on the forged "slave contract" for Li Chengrui.
After Feiying called out twice, he walked into the house.
Feiying had already sat down at the table: "Your lunch."
Li Chengrui followed her gesture and saw another bowl of steaming porridge on the table.
He raised his hand, then pulled it back.
"Eat, why are you still standing there?"
Only then did Li Chengrui confirm that this bowl of porridge just out of the pot was really for him.
He picked it up, without using a spoon or even blowing on it, and just put it into his mouth.
He didn't care whether the porridge burned his mouth or not, and drank the whole bowl of porridge in two or three gulps.
Even so, he was still not satisfied. He held the bowl in both hands and kept licking it, as if he was eating something very precious.
Feiying glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. He didn't look like the emperor at all. Even if she told others about it, no one would believe it.
It seems that he suffered a lot during the time he was away from home.
Feiying also finished her porridge. After washing the bowl, she carried a bamboo basket and a hoe on her back.
"Yuyu, stay at home and don't walk around. I'll go up the mountain to take a look."
There is a mountain behind Hulu Village, so I think we can always gain something on the mountain.
When Feiying walked towards the back mountain, several villagers saw her but didn't dare to ask any questions, for fear that she would target her and come over to eat for free.
She followed the path all the way up the mountain.
This mountain range is called the Howling Mountains. Although it is just behind Hulu Village, few people dare to go up the mountain because there are many ferocious beasts in the mountains and the dangers are rife.
Even if we went up the mountain, at best we would pick up some mushrooms in the outer circle and hunt some small wild animals like rabbits and pheasants.
If she wanted to gain something from this trip, she would have to go deep into the mountains.
Finally we entered the deeper part of the mountain.
All around were towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves that blocked most of the sunlight, leaving only a little light that filtered through the gaps in the treetops and reflected on the ground.
When Feiying first entered the mountain, she released her spiritual awareness to the surroundings to observe the movements around her.
For example, about three kilometers to her right, there was a wild boar wandering in the woods.
This wild boar is the most suitable prey.
Feiying used her spiritual sense to locate it the whole time, and walked quickly in its direction.
She stopped when she was less than a hundred meters away from the wild boar.
Although the hoe was in her basket, it was only a tool for the show and she had no intention of using it as a weapon.
With a thought, she transformed the Scepter of Creation into a broadsword and threw it in the direction of the wild boar.
The big knife was like a living thing, automatically chopping the wild boar's neck. After the wild boar roared in pain, the blow was fatal.
With a flick of Feiying's fingers, the broadsword turned into the scepter of creation. After collecting the wild boar on the ground into the space of the scepter, it automatically flew back to her hand.
After she shot a pheasant and a rabbit and picked some mushrooms, she used the earth teleportation technique to head towards the nearest town according to the direction she remembered.
In less than half a minute, she had arrived at Baiyu Town.
In a remote corner, she casually threw the scepter on the ground, and it immediately turned into a flatbed horse-drawn cart for pulling goods. The wild boar that had just been killed was tied to the cart with ropes. She led the horse and walked towards the market.
Before she reached the market, she was called out by someone and had to stop and turn around to look for the source of the voice.
