Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

The vendor hurriedly pointed to his injured thigh and said, ”It’s one of the Little County Princess’s classmates. He followed us on his own, bit onto my leg, and wouldn’t let go! But donʼt worry, my Lord, weʼve already gotten some information from the Little County Princess. Heʼs just a poor kid, with no parents at home, only an older sister studying at the neighboring academy. Even if he dies outside, no one can do anything about it!”

The man snorted coldly, ”It better be like that!”

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, ”My Lord, about the Little County Princess... are we really not giving her anything to eat? Itʼs already afternoon, and sheʼs been hungry for half the day.”

The man replied indifferently, ”Let her suffer a little. That way, the Emperor will feel even more heartache and be even more furious.”

The man in black muttered, ”But won’t starving her cause some serious harm?”

The man said coldly, ”Starving for a day or two won’t kill her. Just make sure to give her some water at night.”

The man in black: ”... Understood.”

Inside the woodshed, the two little ones were crouched in the corner.

”Jing Kong, I’m hungry.” The Little County Princess said, her eyes brimming with tears.

Little Jing Kong had been awake for a while. He carefully listened to the sounds outside and quietly asked her, ”You’re still hungry?”

”Mm.” The Little County Princess nodded pitifully, ”Candy doesn’t fill me up.”

Little Jing Kong, having learned well from his grandaunt, had a habit of hiding snacks. In his pouch, he had stashed a few pieces of osmanthus candy and a small packet of preserved fruit.

Earlier, when the Little County Princess said she was hungry, he had already given her more than half of what he had. Now, there were only three pieces of osmanthus candy and two pieces of preserved fruit left.

Little Jing Kong handed her another piece of osmanthus candy and one preserved fruit. ”That’s all you can have for now. We don’t know when we’ll be able to go home, so you’ll need to save the rest for tonight.”

”Okay.” The Little County Princess obediently nodded, grabbing the preserved fruit in one hand and the osmanthus candy in the other.

”Why aren’t you eating?” She asked.

Little Jing Kong patted his small belly, ”I’ve got more meat on me. Skipping a meal won’t matter.”

The Little County Princess thought about it for a moment, then handed him the slightly bigger piece of osmanthus candy, ”Here, you eat this.”

She couldn’t just keep eating while Little Jing Kong ate nothing.

This candy wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck between my teeth, thought Little Jing Kong, who had once had to snatch food from the little monks just to eat his fill at every meal.

”You eat it.” Little Jing Kong said as he pushed the candy into her mouth.

”Mmm...” The Little County Princess’s mouth was stuffed full.

Oooh, this osmanthus candy is really delicious.

Little Jing Kong, with his exceptional hearing, could tell that no one was in the yard at the moment.

He looked at the Little County Princess, ”Little Xue, let’s escape.”

The Little County Princess, who had just stuffed the preserved fruit into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks and stared at him blankly like a little chubby squirrel, ”How do we escape?”

Little Jing Kong walked to the door. The woodshed’s door was double-leafed and locked from the outside with a brass lock, but there was a narrow gap between the doors.

Little Jing Kong was a small child with a tiny frame, and his chubby body could actually squeeze through tight spaces if he really tried. With a slip, his little hand grabbed onto something, and then he slid out through the gap in the door.

Moments later, the sound of the lock clicking twice could be heard as the brass lock was pried open.

The Little County Princess looked at him with starry eyes, ”Wow! Jing Kong, youʼre amazing!”

Jing Kong also thought he was amazing.

”I learned it from Big Brother Chengfeng.” He said.

”Who’s Big Brother Chengfeng?” The Little County Princess asked.

My current ʼsisterʼ...

Little Jing Kong replied, ”Heʼs an older brother. Iʼll introduce you to him someday.”

”Great, great!”

The Little County Princess was so amazed by Little Jing Kongʼs impressive skill that she momentarily forgot how dangerous what they were doing was.

Little Jing Kong pushed open the woodshed door and led the Little County Princess into the yard. He then found a spot suitable for climbing over the wall.

He said to the Little County Princess, ”There’s a tree here. In a moment, we’ll climb up the tree and be able to get over the wall.”

The Little County Princess lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, and said in a very small voice, ”But I don’t know how to climb trees.”

Little Jing Kong thought for a moment, then dashed back to the woodshed and came out holding a rope.

”Hold onto the rope, I’ll pull you up.”

The Little County Princess: ”I can’t hold on.”

Little Jing Kong: ”...”

”Alright then, I’ll just have to tie you up first.”

Little Jing Kong tied one end of the rope around the Little County Princess’s waist and the other end around his own waist.

Then, with a few swift movements, he climbed up the tree and jumped onto the wall, pulling the Little County Princess up.

Most five-year-olds wouldn’t have this kind of strength.

But Little Jing Kong had a solid foundation from practicing basic martial arts daily, and with the techniques he learned from *Little Chicken Monkey, his physical strength had improved significantly. [T/N: *It’s Marquis Xuanping XD A word play for Xiao Ji Hou/Marquis Xiao Ji]

”I’m going to lower you down now.” Little Jing Kong tightened his grip on the rope and carefully lowered the Little County Princess to the other side of the wall.

After coming out of the main house, both the man in black and the vendor tugged at their collars.

It was too hot.

They were drenched in sweat.

The vendor said, ”Weʼd better go check on the Little County Princess. The woodshed is so stuffy—she might have passed out from the heat.”

The two of them headed toward the woodshed.

But to their shock, they discovered that the lock had been pried open, and the two little children inside were gone!

The man in black’s face turned dark with anger, ”Who let them go?”

The vendor frowned. ”Let them go? Everyone in this courtyard is our people! You should be asking who rescued them!”

”Damn it!” The man in black cursed through gritted teeth. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he looked sharply towards the wall, ”Who’s there!”

The vendor pushed off with his toes and leaped onto the top of the wall. Scanning the surroundings, he spotted a rope lying in the grass not far away.

It was the rope from their woodshed.

The man in black climbed over the wall and joined the vendor, ”Did you find something?”

The vendor looked ahead at a vast field of sorghum, which was taller than a person, and finally spotted a small child’s footprint in a muddy puddle hidden among the bush.

Judging by the direction of the toes, the child had headed towards the sorghum field.

The vendor said coldly, ”Chase after them!”

The vendor and the man in black rushed towards the sorghum field.

”Jing Kong, why did you run towards the sorghum field just now? And why did you step in the puddle with my shoe?”

”It’s called a diversion tactic, also known as confusing the enemy. We made them think we went that way, but we actually went this way!”

The two little ones slipped into the forest.

JiaoJiao would definitely come looking for him.

Until then, all he needed to do was find a place to hide.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
