Chapter 68: Exercise Should Be Moderate

Sui Sui prefers to sleep outside, but if her older brother likes it, she can yield to him.

At that moment, her older brother asked, and Le Le encouraged her again.

Sui Sui thought for a moment, then softly said, "I like sleeping outside, but I like my older brother even more."

Feng Xuanrui initially didn't understand the meaning of those words; he only heard blissfully that his little sister liked him.

His whole body felt light, as if about to take off, and only then did he realize what was happening.

What his little sister meant was that although she preferred to sleep outside, for her older brother's sake she could also sleep inside.

Feng Xuanrui thought, "How could that be acceptable?"

He is the older brother; he ought to indulge his cute little sister.

Thinking of this, Feng Xuanrui climbed onto the bed himself, lay down inside, then patted the outside spot and gestured to Sui Sui: "Older brother can sleep anywhere, but he also likes Sui Sui the most."

Being liked by her older brother, Sui Sui blissfully lay down outside, then turned her head to look at her brother.

Sui Sui thought, "Older brother is really nice!"

While appreciating her older brother's kindness, Sui Sui tugged at Feng Xuanrui's hand and whispered, "Older brother, do you want to hear a story?"

Another story to listen to?

She still hadn't figured out the previous one, and was almost forgetting it, when a new one arrived.

Feng Xuanrui was still quite curious; he turned onto his side, eyes shining, and looked at Sui Sui: "Mm-hmm, I want to hear Sui Sui tell it!"

Upon hearing that, Sui Sui instantly felt pressure.

But it's okay; she can do it!

However, lately she's either been spacing out or asleep, so she really hasn't heard any stories.

The story told by Pretty Aunt earlier, she had forgotten again, or perhaps she never understood it from the start, so she couldn't comprehend it.

What should she talk about now?

Unable to think of a story, Sui Sui could only sing a children's song to her older brother: "One sheep on the east, one sheep on the west..."

The sheep from the dream came into reality.

Feng Xuanrui felt a bit dazed, yet he was still drawn in by the song's content and learned it together with Sui Sui.

Don't even mention……

Some things, the simpler they are, the more addictive.

In the end, Feng Xuanrui hummed a new tune to the children's song, even counting sheep as he fell asleep.

As for the dream, from which direction—east, south, west, or north—did that sheep come?

Who would know?

Anyway, it was another night of a dream with sheep coming and going.

It was still quite……

Delicious?

Sui Sui fell asleep a bit later than Feng Xuanrui, because she wanted to hear a bedtime story.

The little girl stubbornly stayed awake just to hear more stories.

That way, she could later tell the story to her older brother!

Watching Sui Sui obediently wait to hear a story, the system felt its heart melt again.

Waa—waa!

The female goose is too cute!

Want to rub!

But first, let's rock the sleep-inducer.

After the system finished rocking, everything went black again.

Today's sleep-inducer is a man of great strength and exceptionally tall and sturdy.

When Sui Sui lies down looking at people, she has to crane her neck back, or she truly can't see their heads!

There are words on his head.

Qin Wu Wang.

Just three simple characters, and Sui Sui doesn't recognize a single one.

When the system sees a person, its data stream starts to feel dizzy.

What we need is a sleep-inducer—gentleness, kindness, able to use words as warm as a spring breeze to lull the child to sleep!

No need for vigorous shaking of the cradle!

Qin Wu Wang was also bewildered.

Having lain in the Netherworld for years, the angrier he became the more he thought about it; as soon as he heard he could earn merit, he came right away.

He doesn't give merit to anyone else; he only gives it to Hao Sunsun Zheng'er.

Let his good grandson live a few more years—damn that dead Hu Hai *&%￥!

At that time, Qin Wu Wang only looked at merit, nothing else.

Faced with Sui Sui's curious and expectant gaze, Qin Wu Wang somewhat wanted to scratch his head.

He endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back.

One big, one small, they stared at each other in silence for a while.

In the end, it was Sui Sui who spoke first.

【Uncle, you won't tell a story?】

【It's fine if you can't; singing works too!】

【Sui Sui is very well-behaved, she doesn't mind.】

King Wu of Qin: …

What if singing also doesn't work?

He wanted to ask, but felt a bit embarrassed.

Besides, having earned merit means you have to get things done!

The unusually magnanimous King Wu of Qin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

【I am Uncle Zhao, and today I will tell a story, which is also a warning: exercise in moderation, or it could be fatal!】

Uncle Zhao's voice was deep and powerful, and full of momentum.

Sui Sui was immediately attracted, eyes wide open as she listened.

As she kept listening, she grew sleepy…

There was no way around it; Uncle Zhao's prelude was just too long.

What Lian Yue subdues Chu.

What Shezhi Sanchuan.

…

By the end, it seemed they even mentioned challenging for the Central Plains throne?

Sui Sui was too sleepy, hearing it in fragments.

King Wu of Qin spoke with such immersion, reflecting on his brief life, and thought it was okay?

Although he courted disaster halfway, ruling for four years, it could be said he lived up to his ancestors.

He must be stronger than Hu Hai!

Realizing it, he unconsciously compared himself to Hu Hai, and King Wu of Qin felt completely unsettled.

Fortunately, no one noticed that.

He muttered a few curses in his mind—"Silly X Hu Hai"—then King Wu of Qin said goodnight to Sui Sui and quietly left.

The next day, the weather was excellent.

Sui Sui and the others got up early, washed up, ate, and packed to set out.

Since the weather was unusually fine, Prince Qing meant they should push on further.

After passing the prefectural city of Wenzhou, they were close to Xinzhou.

Arriving at Xinzhou was essentially the same as reaching Jing Cheng.

Because from Xinzhou's prefectural city to Jing Cheng, a fast horse could cover it in a day.

If they slowed down, two days would be sufficient.

From their Xiao Zhen to Xinzhou's prefectural city, setting out early, they could still make it in a day.

Only the road might be a bit bumpy.

Prince Qing asked the two children whether this pace was acceptable.

After receiving affirmative answers, he signaled the men to hurry.

The whole journey was indeed rushed.

When night fell and they reached Xinzhou's prefectural city, Sui Sui felt her bones were about to fall apart.

The two children were finally carried off the carriage, looking listless during the meal.

Liu Dafu muttered a few words of concern, and after the meal he washed the two children and sent them to sleep.

The bedtime story for tonight was destined to go unheard.

Liu Dafu washed Sui Sui's face, put the child onto the bed, and she tilted her head and fell asleep.

Feng Xuanrui, uneasy about his sister, stared at her twice and also fell asleep.

At this point, he hadn't even washed his face.

Liu Dafu, helpless, could only have Qing Shan dampen a cloth with warm water and give a quick wipe.

After a day's travel outside, his face was somewhat dirty; a brief wash made sleeping more comfortable.

The next day, the weather remained pleasant.

Considering the children's health and the distance, Prince Qing decided to travel at a normal pace today.

At the latest, by tomorrow afternoon, they could reach Jing Cheng.

So there was no rush at this moment.

They weren't hurrying, but when it was time to set out, they still had to go.

After Sui Sui got onto the carriage, she anxiously glanced at the two earthenware pots that Qing Shan had brought up.

Inside were the potatoes they had planted together.

Second watch at 19:00.
