The Princess Seeks Money: The Empress of the Unparalleled Kingdom

Chapter 174

"No need." Shang Huaisu supported Jiang Duruo's body, and said in a pale voice: "It's very dark in the room, it's better to be outside, the sun is shining, I want to bask in the sun."

"It's really strange. You, a person with a dark heart, still dislike the darkness of the house." Seeing Shang Huaisu's friendship, Jiang Duruo couldn't help bickering with Shang Huaisu. Instead of dragging Shang Huaisu into the room, she moved a chair out and supported him to sit.

Afraid that he would be choked by the soot, he specially adjusted the chair to the upper air outlet for him, and then he did not forget to explain: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say, don't stand up, no one here will laugh at you."

Shang Huaisu smiled contentedly, and nodded obediently.

It's rare that Shang Huaisu didn't quarrel with Jiang Duruo, but Jiang Duruo felt uncomfortable, she pursed her lips in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "You just stay here, I'll help light the fire."

After Jiang Duruo finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but was suddenly held by Shang Huaisu's hand. He looked deeply into Jiang Duruo's eyes, and suddenly said with emotion: "Ruo'er, it would be great if we could stay like this forever."

Jiang Duruo couldn't help being shocked, and silently looked at Shang Huaisu, meeting his expectant eyes, but she couldn't say the word "good" no matter what.

"I'll help the dumb uncle light the fire." After being silent for a long time, she had to find an excuse to avoid Shang Huaisu's aggressive eyes.

Seeing Jiang Duruo avoiding him, Shang Huaisu didn't stop him, but the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth made him look even more lonely and lonely.

Because this village is all living independently, the residents on the mountainside basically don’t have much contact with each other, they just know each other, and the dumb uncle doesn’t seem to like to socialize with people, so Jiang Duruo and others stayed here for a few days. Saw one of the other villagers.

But they didn't find it strange either. After all, this is not so much a mountain village as it is a retail household. There are a total of seven or eight households. They live independently without disturbing or communicating with each other, and there is no manager like a village chief.

For Jiang Duruo and the others, such a thing is even better, because naturally, the less people know about their whereabouts, the better.

Also because of this relatively closed and estranged way of getting along, Shang Huaisu can rest at ease in the dumb uncle's home to recuperate from his injuries. In addition, the uncle is a very good person. He eats all kinds of game every day and cooks delicious food for everyone in different ways. After a few days, all three of them recovered, and even Shang Huaisu recovered more than half of his strength. Although his arms were still unable to move, basic activities were no longer a problem. Even the residual poison in his body was gradually dying. Self-healed.

It is rare for the three of them to have such a quiet and leisurely life. Every day, they either sit on the mountain watching the sunrise or sit on the top of the mountain watching the sunset. The days are carefree and happy.

It's just that Feihong gradually became a little unhappy. Jiang Duruo saw it, but she never asked, because she felt that if she wanted to talk, Feihong would tell her directly. Since she didn't say anything, if she asked, Feihong didn't want to Say, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

A few days later, the worry in Feihong's eyes became more and more obvious, even Shang Huaisu could see it, and asked Jiang Duruo several times in private if Feihong was worried.

Jiang Duruo shook his head every time, and gradually became worried.

"Ruo'er, why don't you ask, if this goes on, the two of us will get better, but she is getting thinner and thinner. If you don't know, you may think that we abused her." Shang Huaisu suggested.

Jiang Duruo pondered for a moment, nodded, and took the opportunity to ask Feihong out to watch the sunset on the top of the opposite mountain.

Feihong wasn't very interested, but she didn't refuse.

The two of them reached the top of the mountain and sat on the ground. Jiang Duruo thought for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Feihong, do you have something on your mind? It seems that you have been out of your mind these days."

Feihong showed a look of surprise, and then said awkwardly, "Sister Du Ruo, did you see it?"

Jiang Duruo said helplessly: "Not only I saw it, but also the dumb uncle saw it. If he didn't know how to speak, he probably would have come to ask you a long time ago."

Feihong blushed with embarrassment, and said in annoyance, "I'm sorry, Sister Du Ruo, for causing trouble to everyone."

"What stupid things are you talking about!" Jiang Duruo couldn't help scolding.

"Don't say that you are from Moxi, but we are in trouble together anyway, we are friends at life and death, how can you say such a thing!" Jiang Duruo said in a slightly unhappy tone.

"No, sister Du Ruo, don't be angry. I didn't mean that. I meant that I shouldn't hide it from everyone." Feihong explained eagerly.

Jiang Duruo's expression softened a little, and he said with a smile, "I like what you said, so tell me, what's going on?"

Fei Hong bit her red lips, and said in a deep voice, "Sister Du Ruo, do you still remember the shadowless worm we released when we left the woods?"

Jiang Duruo paused, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I remembered, it's the kind of insect that can transmit information through transparent traces! If you don't tell me, I forgot, why haven't I seen it come back after so long?"

Feihong's face darkened, and she explained: "Sister Du Ruo, I am worried about this matter."

Jiang Duruo looked at Feihong in surprise, and couldn't help but said, "Could it be... Moxi..."

"Sister Du Ruo, don't worry, no, nothing happened to Moxi." Fei Hong hurriedly interrupted him, afraid that she might be thinking wildly.

Jiang Duruo breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Feihong explained: "Sister Du Ruo, no matter how far the shadowless worm is, it would take three to five days to go back and forth, but it's been almost ten days, and there is no news at all, so I'm a little worried. The Shadowless Insect had an accident halfway, and it was Moxi..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Duruo already understood what she meant.

Moxi has always been by her side, always elusive, smart, and good at martial arts, so she also took it for granted that Moxi is omnipotent, and never thought that Moxi would have accidents.

Now after Feihong reminded her, she suddenly realized that she had asked Moxi to protect Shang Huaisu, but Shang Huaisu did not leave. Later, Feihong and Shang Huaisu also came back, but Moxi was the only one who did not see her. .

She didn't care at first, but now that she thinks about it, it's a little strange.

"Sister Du Ruo, do you think Moxi will..." Feihong guessed with some worry.

"Could it be that Moxi was arrested by Mu Yunxi?" Jiang Duruo guessed following her words, otherwise he should have found him long ago.

The worry in Feihong's eyes was even worse, and he couldn't help but said: "Sister Du Ruo, if possible, I would like to take a leave of absence from you. Now that His Highness is well, it is still safe here. I want to go back to Yucheng and ask about Moxi. news."
