MTL - The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince-Chapter 520 Fight for a little bit of life

Chapter 520 Fighting for a glimmer of hope

Du Wan took a look at the small mirror on the kang cabinet and said, "I didn't expect you to have such ability. You are better at combing your hair than me."

 “Do you like it?” Pei Hao asked with unclear meaning.

Du Wan had no doubt about it and nodded honestly, "I like it."

“Then I’ll often help you comb your hair in the future?”

 “This job involves Ningqin.”

 “She will get married eventually, do you want them not to get married?”

　　　…”Can’t say anything about him.

　　Du Wan is not stupid, so how could she not understand what he is saying? He stuffed the remaining bite of pancake in his left hand into his mouth and swallowed it slowly. Then he touched his belly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and let out a satisfied sigh. It's like a cat that gets lazy when it's full. It's very cute.

Pei Hao wanted to pinch her cheek with his itchy hands, but he was afraid that her hair would explode, so he reluctantly held back.

After a long while, the lazy little girl got up, put on her boots and walked out, "I'm going to see my brother!"

When I went out, I saw the village chief's daughter-in-law, washing clothes in the yard. Those clothes were the same ones she had changed out of before. When she saw Du Wan walking out of the house, the daughter-in-law wanted to salute in fear.

Du Wan stopped him, "There's no need to be so polite. You can get busy first."

 “Thank you, Princess.” The young daughter-in-law responded fearfully.

Du Wan walked to the next door and opened the door.

 This is a big earthen bed, with six big men lying on it, one of them is Du Qian.

Du Wan didn't know whether Pei Hao did it intentionally or not, but she didn't arrange a separate room for her eldest brother, but gave him a separate quilt to cover him.

She tiptoed over and saw that the cheap brother looked better than before, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

 At this moment, she finally had some sense of reality.

　　It is a down-to-earth feeling. Big brother is really not dead...

After seeing the people, just as she was about to go out, she accidentally caught a glimpse of something placed on her elder brother's bedside. They were nine jade-carved Bodhi seeds. They were the bracelets given by the old monk Yuantong. Now they are scattered?

Du Wan thought about what the old monk said at that time, saying that he could withstand a disaster?

 She picked up the Bodhi seed and looked at it carefully, and found cracks.

Pei Hao walked in with gentle steps and saw the little girl looking at the things in her hands with a serious face, "What are you looking at? Wanwan."

"This." Du Wan showed him the Bodhi seed in her hand, "I got this at Huguo Temple. Master Yuantong said it can ward off a disaster."

 “Really?” Pei Hao believed it.

 There are some things that the old monk Yuantong said that ordinary people cannot understand.

Du Wan studied the broken bracelet carefully, "The old monk said it was so magical. I didn't believe it at first, and I don't believe it now. This bracelet should be a magic weapon."

There are some things in the inheritance, but Du Wan's cultivation level is still low and he has not been able to study them. Common sense still knows that this magic weapon should have a protective function and will automatically protect its owner when in danger. It’s hard to say how powerful it is, but it is indeed rare in the eyes of ordinary people.

 Furthermore, this thing saved Du Qian’s life.

Du Wan studied for a while, but found nothing, so he reluctantly put down the Bodhi tree and said, "This time I owe Master Yuantong a favor."

What did the old monk ask of her last time?

I'll ask him again when we meet next time. Judging from the old monk's calm look, he shouldn't be in a hurry.

Du Wan went out and met Du Shiyi again, and then went out with Du Shiyi. They went to the place where the accident occurred to continue searching for the body of the bodyguard. After cremating it, he arranged for someone to send it back to the capital. In addition, I wanted to send back the news that Du Qian was alive, so that my parents would not continue to worry about him.

Pei Hao followed the little girl and watched her arrange things in an orderly manner.

The road out of the mountain was blocked, but it could not block Du's group.

 No, it was all turned over before.

 Now I haven’t turned over it, but I have sorted out a path. The villagers in Niujia Village were extremely excited and could finally go out of the mountain. However, when they heard that the county town had collapsed and turned into ruins, they couldn't stop boasting.

At present, in the ruins of Guangluo County these days, there are still some people who come from afar and actively dig in the ruins, just like treasure hunting, seeking to make a fortune. You must know that buried in the ruins are not only people, but also a large amount of wealth, and even some food.

 If you really can’t survive, who cares whether you’re making a fortune by dying.

 Let’s talk about Du Wan.

As long as Du Qian didn't wake up for a day, she would stay there all day long.

She doesn’t have to be the one to guard it personally, but she cares about it and can’t leave her eldest brother behind and return to Beijing first.

Where is Pei Hao?

I have to say, he is very busy.

 So what if you are busy? If the little girl didn't go back, he could only stay, and even took over the disaster relief work that belonged to Du Qian. In the following days, Pei Hao could not stay in Niujia Village for a long time. He would stay out for a few days and come back every now and then.

Du Wan has a good life.

 There are mountains everywhere here, and where there are mountains, there are prey.

From time to time, a wild boar would be brought up, and even Du Shiyi and other guards would benefit from it.

About half a month later, a secret guard of the Du family woke up first.

Du Wan is grilling meat outside.

“Princess, someone is awake!” Du Siqi said excitedly.

Du Wan was stunned, "Who is it?"

 “It’s Du Shiba.”

 “Oh.” It’s not the elder brother.

Du Wan felt a little regretful, stood up and walked into the house.

 When he entered the house, he saw a man waking up and drinking millet porridge. Seeing Du Wan come in, Du Wan was about to stand up and salute, but Du Wan stopped him, "Keep eating."

"Thank you, Princess." Du Shiba sat down uncomfortably, eating much faster, and put down the bowl and chopsticks after a while.

 Du Wan then asked what happened to them.

Du Shiba has been following Du Qian, or he was the first one among the survivors to wake up. "The grain sent to Niujia Village by official servants was robbed, and the county king came to deal with it."

"I don't need my elder brother to do this in person." Du Wan stared at him and asked.

As expected, Du Shiba's eyes flashed, "It was the county king who received the news that there are suspicious people in this area. It's not as simple as bandits."

Du Wan believed it now.

 So it turned out that you received news from the rebels?

In other words, what Du Qian received was from a suspected suspicious force, and he wanted to go into the mountain to investigate in person. As a result, he was unlucky to encounter disasters such as earthquakes and avalanches, and almost died there.

Du Wan asked again: "You encountered an avalanche, and there were five people there. Why didn't you dig a tunnel to get out?"

　　"I found the ice cave after digging, and lost my way. Finally..." I was exhausted.

I can only say that they are very unlucky.

At that time, it was directly buried by a large amount of snow. Du Qian tried his best to escape with a few people, but in the end he dug in and only found a place to shelter. When they realized that there was no air circulation and it would be very dangerous to continue like this, Du Qian asked everyone to use the Turtle Breathing Technique to try to get a glimmer of life.

Du Shiba learned that except for a few of them, everyone else had died.

 Sad but also a little lucky at the same time.

At the critical moment, several of them went to protect the master immediately, but were saved by the master...
