There is a god in the sky

Chapter 7 Adopted Daughter Lanxiang 7

"Oh, Lanxiang, you must need this new rouge. Here's a box for you."

The proprietress who sold rouge was a still-attractive widow, and her husband was the one Wei Lanxiang had buried.

Her husband drank all day and frequented brothels. He was dead for several days before being discovered. His body was already rotting. They spent ten taels of silver to have Wei Lanxiang restore the body, and it was barely presentable when it was buried.

Wei Lanxiang did need rouge to apply makeup to the corpse, and she usually bought it from this store.

Other families knew that she used rouge on the face of a corpse, and they wouldn't sell it to him for any amount of money.

This box of rouge wasn't cheap, and Wei Lanxiang was about to take out her money.

The proprietress stopped her, saying, "Don't be so formal. This rouge is a gift I gave to Miss Lanxiang for her own use. Don't waste it on a corpse."

Wei Lanxiang is fifteen years old this year. She's from an ordinary family, and at this age, she should be getting married.

"Thank you, Manager You."

Wei Lanxiang walked through two streets and ended up with quite a few more things in her hands.

Although she rarely comes to the county town, she is the only one in the entire Qingmu County who can do makeup for the dead and restore corpses. Her superb mortuary skills are even more famous than those of her adoptive father, Wei Laodao.

Wei Lanxiang went to the dilapidated temple where beggars gathered and carefully scanned each of their young faces.

She was looking at them, and they were looking at her and the food box in her hand.

A group of beggars swarmed around Wei Lanxiang, pleading with her.

Their eyes are filled with desire—lust, appetite, everything.

After looking at the last face, Wei Lanxiang numbly placed the food box on the ground, ignoring their scrambling, and turned to leave.

They still haven't been found; they must have left Aoki Prefecture.

In this vast sea of ​​people, will we ever have the chance to meet again in this lifetime?

Where are my cousin Yuan, Erhuzi, Sister Miaohong, and Brother Li who always likes to pull her braids?

It was already dark when Wei Lanxiang returned home.

As soon as Wei Laodao saw her, he said, "The person inside has woken up. Young people are so healthy; they can actually pull through such serious injuries."

Wei Lanxiang went to the kitchen to cook dinner first, and only after the food was ready did she take it to see the patient.

Fu Qingyan had been awake for half a day, starving and parched, but the old man had only glanced at him and then completely ignored him.

Just when he thought he was going to starve and die of thirst, he finally saw the little girl from last night.

His eyes lit up, and he tilted his head, staring intently at the food in his savior's hand.

Wei Lanxiang put the food aside and changed his dressing first. Fu Qingyan was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his hunger disappeared instantly.

When the agonizing process ended, Fu Qingyan was covered in sweat, delirious, and didn't even have the strength to eat.

He smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup and felt something touch his mouth.

"Open your mouth, I'll feed you something."

The cold voice, the warm food—Fu Qingyan subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed the food bite by bite.

He had lived for over a decade, and this was the first time he had ever found chicken soup so delicious.

After eating, Fu Qingyan finally had the strength to speak.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady. May I ask your name?"

"His surname is Wei."

"Miss Wei, cough cough... I... where am I?"

“This is my home on the outskirts of Aoki County. You are the one I brought back from the mass grave five miles away. You were hit hard on the back of the head and your life hangs by a thread.”

Fu Qingyan looked dejected.

He eloped with You Niang to Jianzhou Prefecture, hoping to find a place with green mountains and clear waters to settle down. However, when they arrived outside Qingmu County, he discovered that You Niang was meeting with a man at night.

After being discovered, You Niang changed her gentle and weak nature and became ferocious.

It turns out that her so-called true feelings were all fake. She already had a lover and was only luring him to elope with her for his money and travel permit.

Her lover was a fugitive.

How ridiculous! The son of a marquis is no match for a fugitive!
