Chapter 147: Mother and Son
Mo Xun sneaked into the city, and the streets of the city were full of patrolling demon soldiers, and it was obvious that Jingsha City had been occupied by the demon army at this moment.
At this time, it was still late at night, Mo Xun observed, and found that although the city was occupied by the demon soldiers, the ordinary people could still travel freely, and the demon soldiers did not oppress these civilians.
Seeing this, he swaggered down the street, found a pharmacy, bought some healing medicine, then went to the night market to buy some dry food and fruits, and finally went to the house cloth shop to buy a few clothes and quilts for men and women.
"It's really strange how to buy a quilt at this time in March. ”
When Mo Xun pushed open the door of the store and left, he vaguely heard the muttering of the guy and the boss. He didn't dare to linger for a moment, so he carried the package and the bundle of clothes and quilts, and ran out of the city.
Mo Xun found the princess Ziyou by the river and the empress who didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and smeared healing medicine for the empress according to the instructions of the pharmacy guys. And spread the quilt directly on the ground, and the brother and sister lifted the empress and put it on the quilt.
"I bought some dry food, you can eat some. Mo Xun put the package in front of Princess Ziyou and said softly.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Princess Ziyou said helplessly.
Mo Xun stared at the calm river and said, "When I came back just now, I thought of sending her back to the Lingsha Palace, but I quickly dispelled this idea, because this would bring trouble to the Lingsha Palace, or even ruin. So I thought about it a lot, but fortunately now that the weather is warm, we can take her to hide in the mountains and forests, so that no one will find her. I'm in charge of going to the city to get the things we need for life, but we'll try to keep our faces as little as possible so as not to attract the attention of the demon soldiers. So I thought of going to the city and finding a blacksmith shop to make an axe and bow and arrows to hunt in the mountains. ”
"I listen to you, as a princess, I have lived a carefree life in the palace since I was a child, and now I am suddenly down, if I don't have you, I really don't know how to live with my mother. Princess Ziyou sighed, her eyes so melancholy.
Mo Xun smiled and said, "So from now on, you can learn from me how to be a sloppy wild child." ”
"Hmm...... I don't know if my mother will wake up. Princess Ziyou gently held the empress's hand and couldn't help but shed tears again.
Mo Xun looked at Zi You with a sad face at this time, and the lively little princess during the day was like two people.
"Princess, while it is late at night, let us carry her to the mountain to the east, so that she will not be discovered. Mo Xun said softly.
Princess Ziyou nodded, and the two of them carried the quilt one after the other, carrying the empress towards the east.
"Brother Huang, thanks to you for buying a quilt, otherwise it would be really difficult to carry the mother queen away. Princess Ziyou rarely showed a smile, because she found that the brother in front of her was not as idle as he seemed on the surface, but still very careful.
Mo Xun was carrying in front, and Princess Ziyou was in the back. Mo Xun turned his head sideways and said: "You call an imperial brother, I'm really not used to it, and I'm not used to calling her a mother." In the future, you can just call me by my name, and I am still used to calling you princess. ”
"Hey, I can understand your feelings, if you and I switch. It was me who was abandoned back then, and I guess I wasn't as open-minded as you. Princess Ziyou sighed lightly.
Mo Xun smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have lived a lot of hard life, and I have cultivated a rough and thick appearance and a heart like a stone. In fact, it is not a kind of luck that I can adapt to all kinds of sudden tribulations. ”
"Ahem~"
As the brother and sister were talking, the empress suddenly coughed. The brother and sister were shocked when they heard this, and they gently put her down with a tacit understanding.
The empress opened her eyes and saw two children vaguely in the dark night.
"You'er, is that you?" the empress called softly.
"Mother, mother, it's me, I'm Ziyou! I found my brother, and it was my brother who saved you. Zi You sat beside her mother and said excitedly.
The empress coughed lightly again, moved her head slightly, saw Mo Xun standing on the side, and said weakly: "Child, I have suffered you all these years." Is your father okay?"
Mo Xun was not angry, nor sad, and calmly told like a bystander: "My father died when I was ten years old, and at that time I was dependent on my mother, and my mother liked to dress up very much, and others said that she was a water-based poplar woman." Later, she got along with Uncle Wang, and at that time I felt that I was abandoned, so I always quarreled with her. Later, I found out that she was not my real mother. Until today, I don't know that my mother is the empress of the world. ”
"You must hate me, don't you?" the empress looked at Mo Xun and said with a wry smile.
Mo Xun squatted down and said to her: "You better stop talking, you are very weak now, take a good rest, the princess and I will carry you to the deep mountains, so as not to be discovered by the demon soldiers." ”
"Mo Xun...... Your name was given by me......" The empress was a little emotional.
Mo Xun stood up, lifted the quilt with Princess Ziyou, and said, "Don't say it, let's talk about it later." ”
The brother and sister carried the empress to the deep mountains, Mo Xun was fine, and Princess Ziyou's tired whole body was soaked.
"Here, eat some fruit to quench your thirst. Mo Xun threw a fruit at Princess Ziyou.
At this time, the empress fell asleep again, but fortunately she survived, and Princess Ziyou was much more relieved.
Princess Ziyou was eating the fruit, Mo Xun looked at her sweaty appearance, and said: "Actually, I can carry her alone, the reason why I let you follow me is because the days from now on will be very bitter and bitter, you must be fully prepared, today is just to take you to practice." ”
"You're doing the right thing, I've always served people before, and I've never served anyone else. Princess Ziyou quickly ate the fruit in her hand and said wolfingly.
Mo Xun shook his head and said: "This is not as simple as serving people, what you have to learn now is how to survive." But your performance today has exceeded my expectations, and you are much better than those rich ladies. ”
"Heh, after all, I'm also a princess, so I'm naturally much more elegant than those young ladies. Seeing that her mother survived, Princess Ziyou's mood also improved a lot, and she joked with Mo Xun.
Mo Xun chuckled and said, "Princess, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, but I have never been embarrassed to ask. ”
Princess Ziyou also laughed and said, "I know what you want to ask me, in fact, everyone is very curious about who my father is, because even I don't know myself, I have never met my father, and my mother doesn't let me ask about my father." ”
Princess Ziyou's words aroused Mo Xun's curiosity, and he couldn't help but say, "Could it be that we are brothers and sisters with the same father and mother?"
"Perhaps. Princess Ziyou smiled.
