26 Chapter 26. A Small Village

"Only the crown prince and Bai Jun can answer your question. But after seeing her abilities on the hunting grounds, what you said isn't impossible."

Yue Ahn's memory returned to the incident at the hunting ground, and he agreed with the man's words.

Xiao Ara overheard the two men's conversations without missing a beat. She tried to assess the two of them secretly.

She tried to assess them both secretly. In the darkness of the night, the girl stayed where she was and didn't have the slightest intention of moving. Slowly she turned her body, back to the moonlight peeking shyly behind the thousands of leaves.

After a few minutes had passed, the two men below him started to get up and resumed their search.

The night was getting late, the wind was blowing her hair, it felt so cold, cold to the bone and it managed to make Xiao Ara shiver with cold, now it has reached the lowest temperature in the night. And it made her sleepless.

She had no other choice but to stay where she was, wanting to make a bonfire but she was worried that her whereabouts would be discovered.

With a cold blanket, Ara struggled to regain comfort in her sleep.

The orange light slowly spreads across the eastern horizon, and the low temperature at night slowly regains its warmth.

After a long night, Zhang Jiangwu and the others finally arrived at a small village. It was in the southern part of the Qin kingdom, and so close to the border. The southern part of the Qin kingdom borders the Silver kingdom.

There are a lot of soldiers hanging around there, it's one of the places where the intruders wreak havoc. The situation in that place had stabilized and was not as chaotic as before.

Seeing their arrival, people who knew their identities immediately greeted them warmly, including several soldiers.

The arrival of the Crown Prince's entourage garnered much attention from the villagers. However, the residents didn't show their feelings. Thinking that it was just ordinary people and friends of the village headman. Maybe because the clothes they wore didn't differ much from those worn by ordinary citizens.

After the chaos that occurred a few days ago, the residents still seem busy building and repairing their houses.

Through the direction of a soldier, Hao Chu immediately took the crown prince to the Village headman's house for more treatment. Wang Xiumin did the same, carrying Bai Jun, following the two men.

Startled? Of course, the village headman was shocked. Suddenly receiving a royal guest made a feeling of fear and worry fill him. Especially when seeing the condition of the Crown Prince who was injured like that. The village head knows that he currently bears a huge responsibility. One little mistake, his life will be paid for.

He had not calmed down after the chaos that had occurred recently, now he was shocked again. There seemed to be no peace in him. In just a few minutes, dozens of soldiers lined up in front of the entrance of the village head's house, not only they also form neat lines around the village head's house. Even several Sky army seemed to be flying around that white building, seeming to be watching the surrounding area.

The gathering of the soldiers at home to the village headman began to attract a lot of attention and raise a big question mark in the minds of the residents. Who is the public figure who becomes the village headman's guest so that the royal soldiers gather and guard his house? Even so, none of them dared to ask directly.

Can only be silent, and continue their work. Although it can't be denied, the sound of whispers is occasionally heard.

After placing Zhang Jiangwu and Bai Jun in a comfortable place, Hao Chu gave the order to the Village headman to summon all the healers in the Village. Luckily the village has a healer, otherwise, the village headman doesn't know what to do.

A woman who is an assistant to the village headman immediately moved, and she headed to the healer's house.

It is just. Their departure did not bring any results.

"Sir, Grandma Chiyo is gone, she is not at home anymore," said the woman reported to the village headman.

"Order some people to follow you, maybe she's not too far away," said the village headman.

"Yes sir."

Wang Xiumin frowned, "Who is Grandma Chiyo?"

"She is the only healer in this village, sir," replied the village head.

"Every morning, before sunrise she would go to the forest to look for firewood. Usually, she will come back during the day," he added, explaining.

"Is there no other healer besides her?" asked Wang Xiumin.

"Nothing, sir. She's the only one in this village," replied the village headman calmly. Very different from how he felt so restless.

The Crown Prince is injured and in his home right now, whose heart can rest?

While Hao Chu, now the man is outside the house, joining the soldiers, trying to find information about the chaos carried out by the intruders.

At another place.

The air temperature that felt so cold in the middle of the forest is now slowly warming up. The smell of wet earth and the distinct aroma of the forest filled Xiao Ara's sense of smell. The girl was still asleep on the tree branch.

The sun began to move and follow its axis, revealing everything that was hidden. The shadows of the trees lined up neatly, and the sound of birds chirping and other animals became the opening symphony of the beginning of such a bright day.

The sunlight seemed to be jostling and trying to escape from the thick leaves of the tree, the groans typical of waking up slowly sounded from Xiao Ara's lips.

Slowly but surely, her eyelids opened and were immediately greeted by the glare of the sunlight that hit her eyes.

Stretching her body muscles for a moment, she then jumped down from the tree.
