It was better to be a little eunuch than not being able to get in. Thinking of this, Ning Shu accepted the idea without any qualms.
Fortunately, Ning Shu was not short. After wrapping the chest cloth and changing into the eunuch's uniform, she looked tall and straight. She was even taller than some of the eunuchs.
Hui Mo was an expert in disguise. He had a complete set of tools in his hands. He put on a pair of silk gloves and carefully kneaded Ning Shu's face. He tried to only put a thin layer of rouge on the necessary parts to make her more androgynous.
But even so, Ning Shu frowned in pain: "Ouch, it turns out that the disguise technique is so painful. Then the pain when you shrink your bones should be a hundred times more painful. "
Hui Mo didn't care too much. He continued to press on her face to make some minor adjustments. He also applied some yellow powder to make her skin darker. It was the final cover: "It's okay. It's just for a while. It's nothing. When I was a child, I was sent to the sect to practice martial arts. It was so miserable. Every day, my bones were like being broken and reshaped. I cried every day and was laughed at by my master and senior brothers. But no matter how painful it is, it's just physical pain. It can't be compared with Shizi's … "
Ning Shu heard that he became depressed in the last sentence, so she said: "You are very loyal to your Shizi."
Hui Mo nodded hard and said: "That's right. If it weren't for Shizi, I would have been eaten up by wild dogs."
Why did it sound so miserable to be eaten by wild dogs? Ning Shu asked in confusion: "Then what happened?"
"Lady Ning, do you know about the famine in Hanjiang Prefecture ten years ago?"
Ning Shu thought for a while and said: "I have some impression. Hanjiang Prefecture was hit by a hundred-year flood the year before, and then there was a drought the next year. All the newly planted rice died in the drought. Millions of hectares of farmland had no harvest. It is said that nearly 100,000 people died at that time."
Hui Mo shook his head and said: "No, in fact, it was a total of 280,000 people. My father and mother were also there. They all starved to death in that famine. "
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu frowned. It seemed that both the provincial government and the Ministry of Revenue had concealed the information. However, she did not expect them to be so bold as to conceal nearly two-thirds of the information! How audacious!
Then Hui Mo continued to speak.
"Before he died, my father cut off a piece of meat from his body and gave it to me. He told me that it was a rabbit meat he picked up on the road and wanted me to eat it to survive." Hui Mo smiled. "But I'm small, but my eyes are sharp."
"At that time, not to mention rabbit meat, even the grass on the ground and the ant holes in the soil had been dug out and eaten. How could you still find rabbit meat? Also, my father's pants are covered in blood. How can I eat my father's meat? I thought that it would be good if the whole family died together. Then I closed my eyes and lay beside my father and mother's bodies, waiting for death quietly. It was a very good day. There were no clouds in the blue sky and the sun above my head was burning. My father and mother's bones were already smelly. Several hungry wild dogs ran over to eat their meat. I was so angry that I wanted to get up and beat them away, but I didn't have any strength. A wild dog ran over and started to bite my meat. I felt that I was going to die because I couldn't feel the pain. "
Ning Shu had also died many times before, so she could empathize with the feeling of death. She did not say anything and listened to the energetic boy in front of her.
"When I was about to die, I vaguely heard footsteps in front of me. Then the owner of the footsteps said, 'I want him to live.' I thought at that time, 'Huh? Is he an immortal? He wants me to live and I can live? The meat on my back was almost eaten by the dogs. Unexpectedly, I survived in the end. Not only did I survive, but I also lived better and better. At that time, almost all the children in our village died. I was the only one who survived. My life was given by Young Prince. In addition to me, there were also She Yan, Jiusi, and Tianwen. They were all picked up by Young Prince from various prefectures. "
He proudly patted his chest and smiled. "So, in this world, anyone can betray Young Prince, but we will never."
