It was impossible for the children to stay clean after living in the forest for so many days. What's more, they were small, their boots were stepping on the mud, and their clothes were scratched by leaves and weeds, so they were more or less stained with mud, grass juice and the like.
In addition, they had followed the one-eyed man and his group and had been walking hurriedly for a whole day without stopping to rest. There were some dust on their faces, but they were not very dirty, and they did not have any smell. After all, before that, they would still find a water source to wash.
After hearing what the woman said, Hao'er and Muchen's eyes turned cold, while Yue'er blinked at the woman, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.
Seventeen glared at the woman angrily and secretly clenched his hands into fists.
Deputy Commander Zheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but he smiled and said, "Come and sit next to me!" Then he said to the young men and women, "When you are out, it is naturally not as good as at home, not to mention that they are just children."
"snort!"
The woman snorted coldly, looked at the leader and the others, and said, "I don't know if you can accept other people's tasks while accepting our tasks."
"Haha, there is no conflict between these two things. Besides, we have already completed half of your mission. As long as we escort you out of this forest, it will be completed."
The leader smiled, looked at the young men and women, and said, "Besides, you can see that they are just a few children. Who doesn't have children? If our own children were in such a dangerous place, we would be worried. It's not a big deal to just take them out."
Hearing what the captain said, and seeing that the mercenaries around her were looking at her with some displeasure, the woman bit her lip, turned a cold face and said nothing more.
Seeing this, the young man next to him tried to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "We approached your Iron Tiger Mercenary Group because we knew you were well-known for justice in the mercenary guild. This trip also confirmed the rumors on the outside. If you hadn't risked your lives to protect us several times, we probably wouldn't have been able to complete the mission so quickly this time."
He paused, smiled, looked at Hao'er and the others, and said, "It is a blessing for these children to meet you."
"Haha, Mr. Liang, you're too polite." The team leader smiled and said politely.
That night, Hao'er and the others rested with the mercenaries until the next morning, when everyone woke up and prepared to leave. Yue'er also woke up, rubbed her belly, and said, "Brother, I need to go to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you." Haoer stood up, took her hand and was about to leave, when a female voice was heard.
"I'm going to the bathroom too, so why don't you let me take her with me? After all, she's just a little girl, and even if you're her brother, it wouldn't be convenient for you to follow her." The woman from last night stood up, smoothed her hair, and looked at Hao'er and Mu Yue.
"No need." Haoer said coldly.
"Hey, little boy, you're not still angry about what happened last night, are you?" The woman chuckled and looked at him and said, "Although I did something wrong last night, it's already been a night. Why are you still holding on to it?"
