Li Xiaoran woke up after sleeping for a while. She was unable to sleep well in an unfamiliar place.
Shu Ruyue sensed that Li Xiaoran was awake, so she also got up.
Li Xiaoran glanced at Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe and said, “Why don’t the two of you go next door and rest for a while? Ruyue and I feel much more energetic now! Ruyue will protect me. Nothing will happen!”
Zi Cheng thought for a moment, then got up and went next door. Then, he carried two blankets over.
After throwing a blanket to Wu Qinghe, Zi Cheng wrapped himself in it and sat on the long bench against the door.
“Madam, I’ll just sleep for a while!”
Wu Qinghe did not stand on ceremony. After he wrapped himself in the blanket, he said, “We’ll sit here and sleep for a while. We won’t go next door!”
Li Xiaoran Imew that they were worried about her safety, so they insisted on staying here.
“Alright, then sleep for a while. Ruyue and I will sit on the bed and lean against each other!”
After that, the group rested for almost two hours.
At this moment, the rain outside still hadn’t stopped. Instead, it became heavier.
Li Xiaoran looked out of the window while thinking about something.
Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe, who had already woken up, opened the door and stretched under the roof.
It looked like they were stretching, but they were actually observing their surroundings.
Li Qiuxiang might have received the news that Li Xiaoran and the others had woken up. At this moment, she walked over.
“Sister Xiaoran, are you done resting?”
“I’m already rested. Thank you, Sister Qiuxiang! It’s just that the rain is getting heavier. I wonder when it will stop!” Li Xiaoran looked at the sky outside as she said worriedly.
Li Qiuxiang said, “According to the current situation, you’ll probably have to stay here for the night! The weather in the mountains changes so quickly, and it rains for a long time every time! Coincidentally, it’s the rainy season during this period of time, so it will rain for a long time! But don’t worry, we have enough food at home!”
“I’m not worried about this! I’m worried that my husband will be worried about me when he sees that I haven’t returned home!” Li Xiaoran said, “Sister Qiuxiang, tell me how you and your husband, Wu Dadong, met.”
Li Qiuxiang came over to talk to Li Xiaoran, so she did not refuse to answer her question.
“Speaking of which, I have to start with after you guys helped me!”
It turned out that after Li Qiuxiang received the money Li Xiaoran had helped her get from the sc.u.mbag, she treated her father’s illness, then moved out of her previous place with her family.
“At that time, I was afraid that that sc.u.mbag would come back and cause trouble for our family, so I quickly moved away with my parents! Fortunately, we left in time. Later, after I got married, I heard that not long after we left, a group of fierce people came looking for us!” Li Qiuxiang said with lingering fear.
“Sister Qiuxiang, it’s fine now. It’s all in the past!” Li Xiaoran patted Li Qiuxiang’s hand as she comforted her.
Li Qiuxiang continued, “That’s right! On the way, we happened to meet Wu Dadong, who was injured and fell into a ditch. I didn’t want to save him at first, but later on, I thought about how I survived when I was in trouble because of your help, so I pa.s.sed down this kindness. Therefore, I called my father along to save Wu Dadong and we settled down in a dilapidated temple. That temple probably hadn’t been lived in for a long time and there was no one around. Our family didn’t have anywhere to go for the time being, so we lived in the dilapidated temple!”
After Wu Dadong was saved by Li Qiuxiang and the others, since Li Qiuxiang’s father happened to know which herbs could treat external injuries, he found herbs to apply on Wu Dadong’s wound.
There was no other way.
They could only rely on Wu Dadong’s luck.
Fortunately, the heavens were on Wu Dadong’s side. He miraculously survived. Later on, Wu Dadong brought Li Qiuxiang and her family here to work at the cow farm.
Because he was the person who saved Li Qiuxiang’s family, Wu Dadong interacted with the Li family often.
Over time, Li Qiuxiang and Wu Dadong fell in love and got married.
Li Xiaoran thought of something and asked, “Then does this cow farm belong to Wu Dadong?”
“Of course not! It belongs to the Wu family! Actually, Wu Dadong’s family lives here. My husband is ranked seventh in the Wu family. He has six older brothers and five older sisters. The entire family lives here, so they built such a big house!” Li Qiuxiang said, “Speaking of which, it happens to be our turn to guard the door today, so I ran out to open the door for you when I heard you knocking!”
“Your guys guard the door yourselves?” Shu Ruyue asked in disbelief.
“That’s right. There are so many people living here. If we don’t guard the door ourselves, how can we find someone else to guard the door?” Li Qiuxiang asked in confusion.
“It’s fine, it’s fine! Sister Qiuxiang, don’t mind her!” Li Xiaoran asked again, “Then does your family live here now? Where are your in-laws?”
Li Qiuxiang said, “My parents are people who can’t stay idle. They’re probably at the cow farm now. It’s raining so heavily, so they won’t be back for a while! There’s a place to sleep and a kitchen at the cow farm. If you want to see it, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow! Tomorrow is the day my in-laws change shifts!”
“Change shifts?” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she asked curiously, “Isn’t the cow farm nearby?”
“It’s nearby, but we still have to pa.s.s through the cave. Behind the mountain wall behind us, there is a large flat gra.s.sland. If not for the unique advantage of this place, the Wu family wouldn’t have been able to raise cows here! Because most of the people raising cows work with the authorities, our family takes turns going in to work. Every three days, a group of people go in to replace the people who worked there previously! Didn’t you notice when you came in just now? There aren’t many people in the house. Actually, they all went to work at the cow farm!” Li Qiuxiang explained.
“No wonder! No wonder it doesn’t smell. So that’s the case!” Li Xiaoran said in realization when she heard Li Qiuxiang’s words.
Now, many of her doubts were resolved!
