The rest of the journey was walked even faster. Xia Yining tried to enter the space and wanted to bring his two mothers in with him. After trying several times, he found that except for himself and the animals with whom he had a contract, no one else could enter.

The Prime Minister's wife coaxed him, "Ning Bao can go in by himself. Mother and your mother are making clothes and chatting outside. Time will pass in a flash."

Since they set out, when the two had nothing to do in the carriage, they would ask Xia Yining to take out the space fabrics. Each piece of clothing was made with great precision, and they now have several sets.

After several attempts to stop them failed, Xia Yining gave up and just reminded them as usual to be careful with their eyes and not to get too tired.

After entering the space, she worked like a desperate man, planting crops and harvesting crops with Xiao Zi. She accidentally found a way to make the crops mature quickly, which is to continuously water them with the Stream of Life.

Crops irrigated with stream water will produce higher yields and mature faster.

There are only benefits and no harm.

As she watched the rice grow and mature for harvest, she began to doubt whether the Stream of Life existed just to grow food.

For several days in a row, except for going out to eat, she kept harvesting food. When she came out again, Xi Zhiyi came to tell her.

"We will arrive at the border today. After you enter the military camp, I will take the people away to collect food."

Xia Yining only heard the last two words, and the problem that had been troubling her just now was solved in an instant. She opened the window and said in a baby voice, "Brother Xi, are you looking for food? My second brother has hundreds of thousands of stones of food, why not sell it to you?"

Xi Zhiyi: “???”

The look in the eyes of the Xia family members was not right. Hundreds of thousands of stones of grain could have been used to feed the army, so why did Second Master Xia need so much grain?

I thought of a possibility, could it be that they want to raise troops for rebellion?

Mr. Xia himself was also confused. Although he looked evil, he had no disrespectful thoughts. He just felt a chill on his neck.

I wanted to ask but didn’t dare to. For the first time in my life, I felt very painful.

Xia Yining didn't know how much shock his words had brought to everyone present, and he was thinking about many things in his mind.

Some people looked very conflicted. They thought it would not be a good idea to report eating so many delicious foods from the He family to the emperor. But if they didn't tell the emperor, they were also worried that when they woke up one day, the country would have changed its name.

Only the person involved was heartless and continued: "The emperor also knows this, otherwise why would the Xia family come to the border?"

"There is a lot of food hidden nearby. Second brother needs to bring his family to look for it. Then we will sell it to brother Xi. We will pay for it and deliver it to him. No credit is accepted."

"Well~~~ But~~~ If~~~"

"If you really can't come up with the money, just write an IOU and pay it back as soon as possible. We can't let the heroes of Nanxu go to the battlefield hungry."

"However, Ning'er is very good. I will give you the best discounts and provide the best food. I will make sure everyone has enough to eat."

It was the first time that Shan Xingyan took a serious look at the little girl. Her fair and tender skin was as smooth as a baby's. Her eyes were twinkling under her clean willow-shaped eyebrows, and her eyelashes were as thick as small brushes, dense and black.

He felt that his friend was right. No noble lady in the capital was as clean as her. Judging from her eyes and the words she had just said, she had something that those nobles who were raised in a rigid manner would not have.

Especially the sentence, "Don't let the heroes of Nanxu go to the battlefield hungry."

As a member of the Shan family, they understand the hardships of life on the frontier best. It's not because the emperor is doing nothing, nor is it that they are deliberately being stingy with military rations, but that the harvest from the land is really limited.

His father and elder brother often lived frugally, and even his grandmother and others in the family were dressed very simply because all the family’s money was used to support the retired soldiers.

He bowed solemnly to Xia Yining and said, "I would like to thank the Xia family for their generosity on behalf of all the soldiers on the frontier. If you need my help in the future, just let me know."

The other veterans in the team were also like this. The grown men in their forties were so moved that they burst into tears. They had been eating and drinking well these past few days, and they were also thinking about their brothers in the army. They had thought of treating Mrs. He to a meal out of their own pockets after arriving at the barracks.

Unexpectedly, Miss Xia Shi and the entire Xia family were willing to lend a helping hand.

They shouted in unison: "We all remember the great kindness of the Xia family. If there is anything we can do for you, please just ask and we will definitely do our best."

Xia Yining didn't expect that she would be so grateful just for selling some food at a low price. She was so scared that she quickly sat up straight and waved her hands, saying, "Uncles, you don't have to be polite."

"Ning'er is also a member of the Nanxu Nation. When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility and it is our duty to lend a hand."

Shan Xingyan finally repeated the words: "When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Miss Xia Shi is right, this is a broad mind that even men can't match, I admire you."

Xia Yining heard it and felt guilty. This was created by a talented senior and had nothing to do with her.

She explained loudly, but no one believed her. They would rather believe that she was shy than believe that she didn't say that.

Helplessly, the little girl sat dejectedly in the carriage.

Pull out the red flame in the space. Yes, you read that right, pull it out.

Weakly asked, "Where are Dabai and Xiaobai? Ask them to find some wild boars and drive them over. The more the better. Then we can add some to the barracks. Wild boars are free anyway."

Chi Yan: “…”

Very good, the girl is a Zhou Paopi who loves money but is stingy.

After complaining in his heart, he sent a message to Dabai and Xiaobai outside. After hearing Ning'er's instructions, the two tigers became excited and ran into the mountains.

While no one was paying attention, the second master of the Xia family quietly came to the carriage and asked, "Sister, where did my second brother get the food? And he hid it in the border area?"

The Prime Minister's wife glanced at her silly son, her beautiful eyes full of disdain, and said softly, "If Ning Bao says you have it, then you have it. Just follow him later."

After the team stopped, Xia Yining stretched out her little hand and called out in a sweet voice, "Brother, hold me. Ning'er will go with you to find food."

"Brother Xi, please stay here to protect our parents. Master Shan, please send a message to the military camp, and bring more people to get food. We will not leave tonight and rest here."

She made everything clear with just a few words, and everyone instinctively did what she said.

Master Xia held his soft sister in his arms, with a very satisfied expression on his face. He obediently rode his horse into the mountains. The Xia brothers followed him without a second thought.

Everyone: “·······”

As he watched them go away, he wanted to follow them, but Xi Zhiyi stopped him.

"Everyone stay where you are. It's getting late. Start preparing dinner. They'll have food to eat when they come back."

He knew that Sister Ning'er had a secret, and instinctively covered it up for her.
