New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies
Chapter 144 Gift
After confirming that they would go with the team, Fang Duobing suggested that they go downstairs together to identify the person.
Di Feisheng was very reluctant. He felt that if he knew the exact address of the Fairy Valley, he could just use his lightness skills to fly there. Why would he have to ride on horseback with a group of people to escort the baby like he was doing now?
But when he thought of that delicate and lovely little girl, Di Feisheng's eyes flickered, but he still couldn't say the words of refusal and was dragged downstairs by Fang Duobing.
Downstairs at the post station, as it was getting dark, everyone gathered in the hall downstairs to prepare for dinner, while Xiaoyanzi, Ertai and others were playing with the fox spirit.
Since the three children were very well behaved and would not hurt the dog, Huo Chengyue and the others felt comfortable letting them play with the dog. She was called to another place by Fulun and Duanmu Qing to discuss the next itinerary arrangements.
The vixen lay on the ground obediently and let the children do whatever they wanted to her.
But when it hears its owner's name, it still barks uncontrollably and becomes very excited.
When Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng went downstairs, they saw three children playing with the vixen and laughing happily. Their expressions softened at the same time.
But when they wanted to get close to Xiaoyanzi and the others, there was always someone who stopped them subtly.
Di Feisheng's brows were cold and his eyes were sharp, as if he was about to hit someone at the next moment.
However, Fang Duobing remembered Xiaoyanzi's status as a princess, and thought that it was the same as his fiancée's status as a princess. It was normal for him to have someone to protect him when he went out. So he stood outside the encirclement and called out to Xiaoyanzi inside.
"Little Swallow."
Xiaoyanzi, who was petting the dog Maomao, heard someone calling her. She looked up suddenly and saw that it was Master Uncle and the others. She stood up happily with a smile on her little face, "Master Uncle, Master Uncle, you are here."
The clear voice of the child made Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing feel weak in the heart, but also surprised the guards who didn't know what was going on.
They all knew that the princesses had masters, but when did they have great uncles and great-uncle masters?
The five protection personnel of the Xiao family came to Xiaoyanzi with frowns on their faces and asked in a low voice.
"Gege, who are they?"
Xiaoyanzi chuckled and said, "This is my great-grandmaster's junior brother, and also my great-grandmaster's uncle. This is my great-grandmaster's apprentice, and my master's senior brother, and also my great-grandmaster's uncle."
The guards still felt a little confused. When did these two people come?
At this time, Fu Lun and his companions came back. Seeing this scene, they quickly explained, "Don't worry, Xiao family members. He is a disciple of the master of the Divine Doctor Valley. He just arrived not long ago. Now he comes down to greet you. We will go to the Divine Doctor Valley together later."
After these words were spoken, the guards were completely relieved. As long as the person was not a stranger who wanted to kidnap a child, they could rest assured.
The encirclement was broken, and everyone was free to eat and drink, no longer caring about how Gege interacted with others.
Di Feisheng snorted secretly. If he didn't want to make a big fuss, these people would not be enough for him to deal with.
Fang Duobing walked up to Xiaoyanzi and the others and took out a few things from his arms as a gift.
What he gave to Xiaoyanzi was a crystal clear jade pendant without any impurities, and what he gave to Huo Yuqi and Ertai were other jade pendants that he had selected. After all, Xiaoyanzi was his own niece.
Xiaoyanzi happily accepted the jade pendant of good quality. Although she didn't understand why adults loved to give jade pendants as gifts, she was very happy to receive a gift.
The other two also received gifts and naturally smiled happily.
Di Feisheng's face looked a little unhappy. He just felt around himself and didn't find a jade pendant, nor any other decorations. Now it was difficult for him to give the children a gift.
Finally, after thinking for a while, he took out a few silver ingots from his purse, found a slightly larger one and gave it to Xiaoyanzi, and gave smaller ones to the others.
He felt that the gift he gave was not good enough, and a rare blush appeared on his face, but he still kept a straight face and said in a clear voice, "Ahem, this is my gift to you. Go and buy whatever you want."
He felt that instead of giving people jade pendants that could not be pawned as gifts, it would be better to give them money directly. That way, they could buy whatever they wanted. How great!
Sure enough, Xiaoyanzi and the other two's eyes lit up, and they took the silver ingots and stuffed them into their own small purses.
Ertai thought about it, and gave the silver ingots he received to Xiaoyanzi, with an embarrassed look on his face, "I want to give all the money to Xiaoyanzi."
Xiaoyanzi was stunned for a moment, looking at her purse becoming bulging, then looked at Ertai's sincere eyes, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
"I, I also want to give all the money to Junior Sister."
Seeing this, Huo Yuqi gave the silver ingot she had received to Xiaoyanzi without hesitation.
The purse became fatter, and the smile on Xiaoyanzi's face grew wider.
"Okay, okay, give me the money, and I'll buy some delicious food and we'll eat together."
Xiaoyanzi chuckled, accepted her friend's kindness, and said with a smile.
Ertai and Huo Yuqi nodded in unison, "Okay."
Fang Duobing, Di Feisheng and others folded their arms, watching this scene, and couldn't help but marvel at it. These two boys have a bright future ahead of them. How can they please children at such a young age?
Fulun and Duanmu Qing looked very proud and thought that their son had been taught very well.
Huo Chengyue smiled with her eyes curved. This girl Xiaoyanzi is really the darling of the group no matter where she is.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep.
Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing didn't want to live in the same house, but there was only one room left.
The two did not want to bully others and force them to give up their rooms, so they proposed a competition. The winner would sleep on the bed and the loser would sleep on the floor.
After the two agreed, they flew to an uninhabited place outside the town in the dead of night and started a duel.
After a fierce fight, Di was the winner and Feisheng was able to sleep on the bed, while Fang Duobing, who lost in age and experience, had no choice but to sleep on the floor.
While Di Feisheng was still competing, he secretly avenged Fang Duobing for mocking him in the afternoon. When he went to bed that night, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Fang Duobing, whose eye was swollen from being beaten, secretly took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. This hateful Ah Fei was really too much. He actually hit his eye. How could he face people tomorrow?
Thinking of this, he didn't want to sleep anymore, so he sat cross-legged on the floor covered with a quilt and meditated, using the Yangzhou energy in his body to slowly repair the scars on his body. Although they were only some superficial injuries, they were really conspicuous and embarrassing to see.
I practiced like this for a whole night without sleep.
The next morning, when Di Feisheng woke up, he saw Fang Duobing sitting cross-legged practicing. He sneered, then got up, changed clothes and washed up.
Fang Duobing finished his training and touched his face where the pain had lessened. When he heard the sneer, he was so angry that he wanted to continue fighting with him.
But there was a knock on the door from the accompanying guards, signaling them to pack up quickly and prepare to set off.
Downstairs, the yawning little swallow was rubbing her eyes sleepily. It was so painful to get up early every day and not be able to sleep in.
Soon, the team continued to move forward. When Xiaoyanzi, Ertai and Huo Yuqi first got on the carriage, they were still chattering excitedly, but soon they fell asleep in a mess.
Huo Chengyue was like an old nanny, taking care that this one wouldn't bump into anything, and that one wouldn't touch anything. There was a vixen lying on the ground, and when she saw these young masters lying in a crooked manner, she subconsciously moved under them so that they could lean on her.
Outside the caravan, Duanmu Qing drove the carriage, Fulun led the way, Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng rode on both sides of the carriage for protection, swaying while admiring the roadside scenery, secretly comparing it in their hearts with the world they were in.
In this way, the group traveled for another five days and arrived in Jiazhou before dark, with only two days left until Li Lianhua's birthday.
Since the trip didn’t have to be rushed, the team could finally have a good rest in Jiazhou and then enter the Divine Doctor Valley the next day.
Huo Chengyue was very familiar with Jiazhou City, so he volunteered to take the children out for a stroll.
Di Feisheng and Fang Duobing followed out of curiosity, while Fulun followed with Duanmu Qing for protection. The other guards were given a day off so that they could go to the city to buy some local specialties for their families.
The guards happily walked together and strolled around the street.
Huo Chengyue and his group were also strolling excitedly on the street.
Jiazhou City is quite far from the imperial city, but due to good management by officials, Jiazhou City is a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the people live a fairly affluent life.
On the busy streets, all kinds of hawking sounds can be heard. Everyone is walking and strolling on the street with a serene smile on their faces.
Fulun took his son Ertai, Duanmu Qing and Huo Chengyue took their own sons, while Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng took the little girl shopping for the first time. A group of eight people walked on the street, and because the boys were handsome and the girls were pretty, and the child was well-behaved and cute, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
Little Swallow was looking around curiously on the street, looking at this and then running to the other side to look at that. Her playful and cute appearance made Fang Duobing and his friends quite worried, fearing that such a little one would be squeezed and lost. After much deliberation, the two decided to hold the child's hands, one on each side.
It was the first time that Di Feisheng held such a small hand. He felt that it was too small and did not dare to use any strength for fear of hurting her.
Xiaoyanzi didn't care at all. She held her uncle's hand with her left hand and her uncle's hand with her right hand, and ran excitedly towards the street.
Whenever he saw something interesting, he would stretch his neck to look at it, but because he was too short, he couldn't see it no matter how hard he tried. His little face was wrinkled and he felt annoyed at himself for being so short.
Fang Duobing saw this and shook his head and laughed. He couldn't help but hug her in his arms, and then said to her, "Xiaoyanzi, tell your uncle which one you like, and I will buy them all for you."
Hearing this, Xiaoyanzi looked at him with sparkling eyes. A sly look flashed in her eyes, and she asked with pretended curiosity, "Really? What if I want to buy the whole street?"
Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you really want it, Master Uncle will buy it for you. Master Uncle has a lot of money."
He is the son of the Minister of Revenue and the future royal consort. His family is rich enough to rival a country. It’s just like buying out a street. He is not short of money.
Even though he didn't bring much money with him when he came to this world, it was still more than enough to buy a street.
Xiaoyanzi's eyes sparkled when she heard this, but she smiled and shook her head sensibly, "Forget it, I don't need so many things. I was just kidding."
Di Feisheng and others were beside her. When they heard her words, they were happy because of her sensibleness. It was great that her family had money but never spent it indiscriminately.
At this time, there was a sudden noise on the street. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a quarrel at the door of a restaurant. A man dressed as a waiter was standing at the door with his hands on his waist, next to him stood four burly thugs, and in front of him was a group of ragged little beggars.
When everyone looked closely, they saw that some of them had broken arms and legs, their faces were dirty, and they looked skinny. They looked very pitiful. There were seven or eight children, both boys and girls, all of them were covered with scars, dirty beyond recognition, and their clothes were tattered, which was a frightening sight.
"How pitiful they are."
Because Xiaoyanzi was held in Fang Duobing's arms, she saw the pitiful appearance of those people at a glance. Her eyes were filled with anger and heartache, and her mind couldn't help but think of the time when she was wandering.
At this time, the waiter still had a disgusted look on his face, "Where did you come from, you little beggars? You are so dirty. Get out of here right now. This is also a place where you can come. Get out right now, or I will send someone to beat you out."
As he spoke, he covered his nose in disgust and ordered the thugs to beat them out if they dared to take a step forward.
The group of little beggars were so scared that their faces turned pale, but they dared not step forward.
The older boy in the lead looked at his younger brothers and sisters who were pale and skinny from hunger, took a step forward despite his fear, and begged, "Hello, can you give us a steamed bun? We are almost starving to death."
The waiter saw that he dared to step forward without listening to the advice. What if he dirtyed the ground? He first mocked him, "Little beggar, where do you think I am? Can I let you shout here? Get out of here." Then he said to the thugs, "Drive them away!"
Upon hearing this, several thugs rubbed their hands and prepared to go forward and beat the people up. The children were so scared that they covered their heads and ran around, looking very pitiful.
The onlookers couldn't help but point and talk, feeling pity for the person but not wanting to meddle in his business.
Di Feisheng and others also frowned slightly. Why was the waiter in the restaurant so aggressive?
Xiaoyanzi couldn't stand it any longer. She was a wandering beggar in her previous life. No matter how well she lived, she could not forget the grievances and injustices she had encountered when she was wandering. When she looked at those children, she couldn't help but think of herself in the past. So she said to these uncles and aunts without hesitation, "Uncles and aunts, go ahead, defeat those uncles and save the children!"
When the others heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then their lips curled up and they said in unison, "Okay."
After saying that, everyone walked together towards the restaurant.
The waiter had not expected so many wealthy and noble people to suddenly come. He immediately changed his expression and said in a flattering manner, "Dear guests, are you here to eat or stay? Please come in, everyone?"
