Chapter 363: Chapter 359: Reinforcements_1
Someone’s half face was cut off, wailing incessantly.
Yingbao covered him with Quintuple Mushroom’s juice with trembling hands, then bandaged him up with cotton cloth.
There were too many severely wounded, Yingbao used up dozens of Quintuple Mushrooms in just one day.
Fortunately, the Quintuple Mushrooms on her Immortal Cave House were thriving, otherwise they would have run out.
By the afternoon of the second day, the number of injured people continued to increase. Mrs. Zhang brought two concubines and their children.
She took out some silver taels and several patched clothes to give to them.
“Take this silver, in case the city falls, change into these clothes and go escape.”
The two concubines fell to their knees, crying and shaking their heads: “Madam, we are not going anywhere. We live as members of the Zhang family, and if we die, we die as the Zhang family ghosts. You cannot drive us away.”
The illegitimate daughters also knelt down, crying and saying, “Mother, our fate is with you and my sister. We are also father’s daughters. If the city falls, we will follow father and mother to death.”
Mrs. Zhang helped them up, wiped her tears. “If that’s the case, go back to your room. Take this silver and clothes, just in case… just in case the city can’t hold on, I hope you can survive.”
The concubines and the illegitimate daughters left crying.
Mrs. Zhang then called her own daughter and eldest daughter-in-law from the Chui family.
Chui had been pregnant for a while, and she looked a bit pale and haggard.
Mrs. Zhang asked her to sit down, and began to recount their many past events in Beijing.
Chui and Zhang Xuehua listened quietly without a word.
At this time, Yingbao was in the house trying to teleport her brother to her Immortal Cave House.
She held her brother’s hand and silently initiated the transfer.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared inside the Immortal Cave House. Her brother, Jiang Wu, looked around in astonishment. “What… what is this place?”
“Immortal Cave House,” Yingbao didn’t have time to explain, she left him inside and teleported out again.
She went to the guest room next door to find Huzi, grabbed his hand and said, “Close your eyes, I’ll take you to a place. Remember, don’t open your eyes without my permission.”
Huzi didn’t understand, but he obediently nodded his head.
As Yingbao initiated the teleportation, she entered the Immortal Cave House.
She looked to her side, but didn’t see Huzi.
Yingbao was startled, she quickly teleported out and saw Huzi standing in his room, eyes closed, muttering, “Are we there yet? I’m going to open my eyes!”
With a frown, Yingbao grabbed his arm and said, “Not yet, keep your eyes closed.”
“Okay,” Huzi obediently closed his eyes.
Yingbao once again attempted to teleport to the Immortal Cave House, but Huzi still did not appear.
This was strange.
Yingbao didn’t give up, she tried several more times, but it remained the same.
It seemed that she really couldn’t bring Huzi into her Immortal Cave House.
What should she do?
At this point, Yingbao was panicked too.
If she couldn’t bring Huzi into the Immortal Cave House, that meant she couldn’t bring Mrs. Zhang and the others either.
She had promised her second master that she would save his mother and sister, how would this look?
Huzi slightly opened one eye, saw his little niece anxiously staring at him, he quickly closed it again.
“Okay, you can open your eyes now,” Yingbao patted Huzi.
Huzi chuckled, relieved to see that his niece wasn’t angry. He asked, “Did you have me close my eyes to surprise me with something yummy?”
From her bag, Yingbao took out an apple and handed it to him. “Rest well; there’s a tough battle ahead tomorrow.” After saying that, she turned and left the room.
From behind her, Huzi asked, “Where’s Jiang Wu?”
Without turning her head, Yingbao replied, “He’s busy, he’ll be back soon.”
Once back in her own room, Yingbao went into Immortal Cave House again.
She found Jiang Wu, who was fixated on a sphere of light, and said, “Xiaowu, after you go out don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Okay.” Jiang Wu was already nine years old and well understood the gravity of the situation.
He wouldn’t tell anyone about his sister’s secret.
“Mom and Dad know about this too,” Yingbao continued. “They planted these.”
