Chapter 9 Meeting the Horse Bandits Again

Jian Erni's face was full of joy, "Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. I heard just now that they all found water, so I knew that sister-in-law can find it too!"

"Hey, Jian Erni gets five points for praising you."

"If you can speak, just speak more."

Tao Xi smiled and rolled his eyes, and raised his fingers at everyone, "Let me tell you, I also found a good thing."

Even though Jian Shiwu and Jian Shiming looked at her coldly, Tao Xi didn't care at this moment. She stood beside the cart and opened the gray cloth covering the basket, revealing the emerald green cactus inside.

"Look, we have something to eat!"

"What is this? Why do you still have thorns?"

Jian Shiyi was extremely surprised and wanted to get close to Tao Xi, but when he caught Jian Shiwu's eyes, he immediately grimaced.

That look was so cute, it was so adorable that it melted people's hearts. Jian Shiwu wasn't that cute anymore, and he had a look of disgust on his face.

"What is this, isn't it poisonous?"

"Don't talk to sister-in-law like that."

Jian Erni patted Jian Shiwu's shoulder angrily, and Jian Shiwu snorted and said nothing.

Jian Shiming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Cactus, also known as dragon's tongue, has a bitter taste and cold nature, and its fruits are edible."

"You believe what your elder brother said, right?"

Tao Xi picked all the fruits, and the little Jian Shiyi stared at Tao Xi with big eyes.

Tao Xi was so soft-hearted that he moved his hands very gently. There were thorns on the fruit. Unfortunately, they didn't have a knife. Unexpectedly, Jian Shiming suddenly took out a small dagger from his body at this time.

Tao Xi's eyes almost popped out, so the male protagonist has always been so smart, didn't she know?

"Ernie, use this to peel off the thorns on it."

"Hey, okay!"

Jian Erni happily took the dagger and carefully peeled the thorn, fearing to waste any pulp.

Tao Xi looked at Jian Shiwu's twisted expression and turned his head to look at Jian Shiming.

"Sir, this cactus has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, detoxifying and reducing swelling. Why don't you put some on my second brother's legs?"

After Jian Shiwu's leg was broken, although a barefoot doctor from the village took over the bone, there was no proper treatment and not much medicine.

He is also very lucky, otherwise a fever and suppuration could kill him.

"Brother, I don't want it!"

Jian Shiwu turned his eyes away awkwardly, as if he was unwilling to accept the food that came his way.

Tao Xi found it inexplicably cute, but she still held back from laughing.

"Second brother, be obedient."

Child Jian Shiyi said with a straight face, "Don't you want your legs to get better soon?"

"I'll wipe it for you."

Jian Shiming was silent for a moment, took a deep look at Tao Xi, and then picked off a small piece of cactus. The transparent cactus was sticky.

Jian Shiwu didn't move, Jian Shiming glanced at Tao Xi, and Tao Xi turned his back knowingly.

Then Jian Shiming directly opened Jian Shiwu's trouser legs, and there was a rustling sound. Jian Shiwu gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

"Second brother, it doesn't hurt. Xiao Yi will help you breathe."

The sound of Jian Shiyi's milky milk came to Tao Xi's ears, and the corners of Tao Xi's lips slightly raised, forming a happy smile.

After a while, Tao Xi heard Jian Shiming's deep voice, "Okay."

"I'm fine now."

Jian Erni gave each person a fruit, and then returned the dagger to Jian Shiming.

Tao Xi was not polite, he peeled it open and ate it. The taste was sour and sweet, not bad.

"tasty."

Jian Shiyi's cute face was filled with joy, and then she said to Tao Xi very solemnly:

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome, thank you!"

"Hey, Jian Shiyi praises the five points."

"Thank you, little brother."

Tao Xi's smile was bright. Sure enough, the little bun was easy to conquer.

Jian Shiwu, who had a tough mouth, opened his lips. He wanted to speak, but in the end he moved his lips and did not say a word.

The gong sounded loudly, and it was time to continue on the road. Tao Xi carefully placed the cactus in the basket on the cart.

"This thing is easy to feed. My second brother's legs still need it, so just keep it alive."

"good."

Jian Shiming finally spoke back to her. Although he didn't praise her, Tao Xi was also very happy.

She has only traveled through the world for just one day, so it is really good to have such a record!

I don't know if it was because of the cactus applied on it, but Jian Shiwu felt that her legs didn't hurt as much as before.

His eyes kept falling on Tao Xi. It was not that Tao Xi couldn't feel it, but she didn't have time to care about it.

The water in space seemed to have a secret that she didn't know, and she felt that her strength doubled after drinking it.

After Jian Shiming drank it, his sick body seemed to improve a lot.

He was actually able to keep up with the older and weaker members of the team, and he was considered less of a burden.

The fleeing team was very long, and occasionally they would encounter fleeing teams from other villages.

But everyone rarely spoke to each other, and everyone conserved their energy to go to the place where the spring flowers were blooming.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Jian Erni asked what Tao Xi was thinking, and she listened with sharp ears to Jian Shiming's answer.

He frowned slightly and kept walking, "Li Zheng said that we should go south. The weather in the south is humid."

"Yes, yes, it rains more in the south."

Tao Xi nodded hurriedly. She actually still didn't know their specific location.

As soon as I put it on, I was struggling just to survive, so I had no time to pay attention to that.

Jian Shiming glanced deeply at Tao Xi and said in a faint tone, "Li Zheng has a relative who has been to the south.

If they say it’s like spring all year round there, we’ll move there.”

"I don't know how long we have to go."

Jian Shiyi drooped his head. The little boy who was originally a fair and fat boy raised by his parents was now gray-faced.

If it weren't for his facial features, it would be hard for Tao Xi to imagine how cute he is.

Jian Shiwu snorted, "At this speed, I don't know how long we have to go."

But now there is famine everywhere, and there are many bandits, so no one dares to go alone.

You can only work together as a team to have a higher chance of survival.

Just as we talked about rogue bandits, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and the gong in the center rang again.

"No, hide quickly!"

Jian Shiming's expression changed, and he quickly started to help pull the cart. Tao Xi and Jian Erni pulled the cart behind the big tree.

Although they are in the second half of the team, which are all old, weak, sick and disabled, there is no guarantee that those bandits will not go crazy.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and screams were heard one after another. Tao Xi's heartbeat accelerated.

Witnessing such a thing with one's own eyes is far more tragic than receiving the memory of the original owner.

With sharp eyes, she noticed that veins were popping up on Jian Shiming's forehead and his fists were clenched fiercely.

Yes, their parents died at the feet of horse bandits, and it was right for him to hate these people.

Tao Xi wiped a handful of ashes on the ground, wiped one hand on his own face, and wiped the other hand on Jian Erni's face.

"what are you doing?"

Although Jian Shiwu injured his leg, he was staring at Tao Xi like a little leopard.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would probably go crazy.
