She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 29 - : Her Daughter Is a Superbaby

Scar Face's body uncontrollably slid downward!

Suddenly, a long whip lashed out, tightly coiling around his arm.

Scar Face was startled and looked up.

In the darkness, Xiang Ying's black hair flew about, her phoenix eyes brimming with a cold light.

"Grab on!" She shouted loudly.

Scar Face promptly gripped the whip, and she dragged him up.

Then, the two of them, one after the other, sprinted forward, starting to flee for their lives.

Xiang Ying was quite familiar with the terrain. She leapt and tumbled, squeezing through gaps in the crowd, and made her way to the front of the group.

On the very broad and safe flatland, a group of criminals, spared from death, huddled together weeping.

The ground was still trembling slightly.

Xiang Ying caught sight of Tao Xue holding two unconscious little ones in her embrace.

She furrowed her brows, no need to ask, she also knew that Xiang Xiuxiu and Xiang Li were missing!

Xiang Ying did not hesitate; she immediately turned back, heading against the flow towards the dangerous mountainous area!

The lost Xiang Xiuxiu, in fact, was always with Xiang Li.

During the chaos of the crowd earlier, Xiang Li, fearing Xiang Xiuxiu would get hurt, quickly held her in his embrace.

But unexpectedly, his wooden cart got stuck on the uphill mountain path.

Stuck in a large pit that had appeared out of nowhere, the wheel of the wooden cart was trapped and couldn't be pulled out.

Lin Lingxiang used all her strength to pull, her hands turning red from the effort.

Xiang Li said in a deep voice, "Miss Lin, you take Xiu Xiu and go ahead."

"No," Lin Lingxiang was very determined, "Let the Princess go by herself, I'll stay and follow His Highness."

Xiang Xiuxiu blinked her large eyes in Xiang Li's arms, hesitating.

Her brothers had told her not to show off her abilities at will.

But at such a critical juncture, what could be more important than her uncle's life?

The little one immediately jumped off the cart, Xiang Li was startled, frowning: "Xiu Xiu, come back!"

However, Xiang Xiuxiu urged Lin Lingxiang onto the wooden cart.

"Uncle, you and Aunt Lin sit tight, I'll pull the cart."

Lin Lingxiang, pushed by the little one, actually lost her balance and fell onto the wooden cart, while Xiang Li immediately grabbed her wrist.

"Little Princess, you can't move the cart, please go quickly! I'll stay here with His Highness!"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiang Xiuxiu had already grabbed two ropes in her small hands.

With a shout from the little one, the wheels moved.

The wooden cart, pulled by Xiang Xiuxiu, flew across the ground as if it were nothing.

Moreover, there were two adults sitting on that cart!

The child ran faster than a rabbit, as if she was holding onto a piece of cotton.

Lin Lingxiang was stunned.

Suddenly!

There was a crackling noise from the hillside to the side.

Lin Lingxiang turned her head to look and saw a huge boulder tumbling down.

It was about to hit them!

Lin Lingxiang's face changed: "Xiu Xiu, watch out!"

The little one immediately pulled the rope to turn.

But who knew the cart's wheel would get stuck on the rubble and overturn directly!

Lin Lingxiang cried out in shock, and the next second she was protected in Xiang Li's embrace.

They rolled on the ground a couple of times before stopping.

"Uncle, Aunt Lin!" Xiang Xiuxiu ran over anxiously.

Lin Lingxiang fell with her body sore all over. Staggering to her feet, she discovered that Xiang Li had passed out.

"Crown Prince!"

Just at this time, Xiang Ying and Jie Chen arrived unexpectedly.

Both had no time to acknowledge each other, but with an unspoken understanding, they first carried Xiang Li onto the wooden cart.

Then Jie Chen picked up Xiang Xiuxiu, and Xiang Ying pulled Lin Lingxiang.

Jie Chen tied the rope of the wooden cart to a horse he had led, and they took Xiang Li and the others back.

The aftershocks lasted for at least half an hour before gradually ceasing.

The Military Supervisor's soldiers, sent ahead to scout, returned to report.

It turned out that Yu City ahead had suffered severe damage, even the city gates had collapsed.

The Exile Team took stock of casualties and lost people and supplies.

On Xiang Ying's side, three children surrounded the unconscious Xiang Li, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xiang Li had suffered a very bad fall on his left arm; Xiang Ying had checked it earlier, and it was broken.

Injuries piled upon injuries!

Standing by Xiang Li's side, Lin Lingxiang's complexion was gloomy: "It's all my fault, otherwise Your Highness wouldn't have been injured."

Xiang Ying took out some medicine from her storage space.

"It's not your fault, with the earthquake happening, all of us being alive is already a blessing."

She said this and patted Lin Lingxiang's shoulder: "You go check on your grandfather, I'll take care of things here."

Lin Lingxiang nodded gratefully and then hurried off towards her family members.

Xiang Ying first applied medicine on Xiang Li, then found some broken planks nearby to use as a splint to stabilize his arm.

Tao Xue and the three little ones seemed to have been scared too.

They surrounded Xiang Ying, clutching at the hem of her clothes and her sleeves before they could feel at ease.

Jie Chen glanced over at them and arranged for the rest of the team leaders and soldiers to tally the injuries and losses.

Fortunately, only a few of the exiled criminals had died, and about twelve soldiers had fallen off the cliff.

Among those who were unlucky enough to die were Consort Yang with her festering skin who couldn't move, and during the earthquake, when everyone ran, not a single person cared for her.

And Huang Huzi who had lost both his arms, naturally had difficulty moving.

Just now, one of the soldiers witnessed him getting hit by the food and fodder from the horse-drawn carts, hurling him over the cliff's edge.

These losses were not considered severe for the entire exile team.

The greatest losses were the provisions and the horses.

Xiang Ying overheard the other two military supervisors frowning as they spoke to Jie Chen: "Nineteen large quantities of provisions and sixteen boxes of military pay have fallen off, and only thirty-three horses remain."

In reality, Xiang Ying had taken advantage during the chaos to keep seventeen large quantities of provisions, enough to sustain half the troops and horses.

She had not touched the military pay because some silver pieces were marked with special symbols, which she could not readily use.

The reason she didn't continue to take the horses as well was that her storage space was full.

Listening to the two supervisors sighing, Xiang Ying silently took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiang Li's cheeks.

Jie Chen, however, didn't show any particular indication of anger.

After a brief moment of thought, he instructed: "As soon as dawn breaks tomorrow, pick a few men to accompany me into town to purchase supplies, the rest stay put and keep watch over them."

"Yes."

Hearing that there was an opportunity to make purchases, a glint of brightness swept across Xiang Ying's eyes.

Then, a little hand tugged at her sleeve.

Xiang Ying turned to see it was Xiang Yuanshuo.

"Could you get something for Xiu Xiu to eat? She's very hungry after exerting so much energy just now."

Xiang Ying turned to look at her little daughter, who appeared somewhat guilty.

Her big eyes brimming with tears, she looked expectantly at Xiang Li.

"Yuanshuo, you stay here with your brother and Tao Xue, I will take Xiu Xiu over there to eat something good."

Xiang Ying walked over, picked up Xiang Xiuxiu, and while no one was paying attention, headed towards the forest.

With no one around, she set the child down and, as if performing magic, pulled out a small rabbit-shaped red bean paste bun from her sleeve.

"Xiu Xiu, Mommy has lots of buns here, what filling would you like to eat?"

Xiang Xiuxiu hung her head and shook it like a rattle.

However, her stomach betrayed her with an honest growl.

The little one's face flushed immediately, and she quickly covered her stomach: "Mommy, you didn't hear anything, right?"

"Hmm? No, I didn't," Xiang Ying pretended to be unaware, smiling, "Xiu Xiu, would you like to help Mommy? I have so many buns that it's hard to hide them all, could you eat a little to help me out?"

Xiang Xiuxiu, the sensible child, did not object this time and obediently took the red bean bun.

Seeing her willingness to eat, Xiang Ying then sat down beside her: "Why are you unhappy? Do you feel sad because you think you didn't protect Uncle well enough?"

The little girl silently nodded, her eyes reddening again.

"It's okay, Xiu Xiu, you're still a child, and if your uncle were awake, he would say that as long as you don't get hurt, it's all good."

"Problems aren't frightening; what's important is that we think of solutions. We just have to avoid such things from happening next time."

Xiang Xiuxiu, with her dark, watery eyes, took these words to heart.

She nodded: "Mommy is right, next time I should just lift the cart outright."

After speaking, the little girl had finished her red bean bun and shyly stretched out her hand, wanting more.

Xiang Ying then produced two more meat buns.

"You lift wagons? Xiu Xiu, can you show Mommy how?"

"Sure, but... you must promise not to tell anyone."

With Xiang Ying's promise, the little girl swiftly finished two meat buns.

She looked around and spotted a fallen log nearby, then ran over to it with a pitter-patter of her feet.

Xiang Ying thought her daughter was going to drag the log over to show off her strength.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiuxiu hugged the log with both hands, lifted it up, and then tossed it away as easily as if it were a piece of tofu.

Xiang Ying's phoenix eyes widened slightly.

That motion... it was like javelin throwing, but effortlessly.

Her little daughter was indeed a little powerhouse!
