Chapter 168: The Widowed Mother
Chapter 168: The Widowed Mother
Li Wanwan returned home, gave the seeds to her grandfather, and went to the mountain.
She has always had good luck, so it would be nice to catch more prey to supplement her family income.
Li Wanwan walked briskly up the mountain road. The sunlight shone through the treetops onto her, as if covering her with a golden halo.
Although the journey of fleeing from famine was difficult, the Li family never lacked food, and small animals came to their doorstep from time to time. Now that she had come to the mountains, there should be more prey.
The mountain road was rugged, but Li Wanwan was used to it. She moved lightly between the trees, listening carefully in all directions, looking for traces of prey.
Suddenly, a fat rabbit poked its head out from the grass and ran towards Li Wanwan.
With a "pop" sound, the rabbit hit Li Wanwan's leg.
Li Wanwan happily picked up the rabbit and put it in her backpack. This rabbit was enough for her family to enjoy a meal, but it was not enough, so she continued to move forward.
Along the way, Li Wanwan encountered several small animals, including pheasants and quails...
These animals are all stupid and they come close to Li Wanwan when they see her.
Li Wanwan put all the eggs into her backpack. She also picked up a few pheasant eggs and quail eggs. The backpack was full, so she started to return.
Li Wanwan returned home with a full load, a bright smile on her sallow little face.
Nan Xi was amazed at what she saw. This heroine was really lucky. She had reaped a lot of rewards in such a short time.
But this time, why didn't the male protagonist come back with her? This is a strange thing.
In the world plot, Li Wanwan rescued a dying blood man on the way to escape famine and brought him back to life with spiritual spring water. He was Xiao Jingshuo, the fourth son of the current emperor.
Later, wars broke out and the fourth prince returned to the palace, inherited the throne, and named Li Wanwan as queen.
Without the spiritual spring this time, is the Fourth Prince doomed?
This is such a sad story...
However, Nan Xi guessed wrong. The Fourth Prince was now lying in the Li family's house.
On the way of fleeing famine, Li Wanwan did pick up the Fourth Prince, but this time she didn't have the spiritual spring, so the Fourth Prince fell into a coma.
"Hey... why hasn't this person woken up yet? Could it be that he can't wake up anymore?"
Village chief Li was very worried. His granddaughter insisted on keeping this man. Seeing that his clothes were made of unusual fabrics, he guessed that this man must be rich or noble.
Who would have thought that I couldn't wake up now and became a burden.
Li Wanwan wiped the man's face. His face was a little thin, but his facial features were very good. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a child from an ordinary family.
If she wants to become a phoenix, she definitely cannot marry an ordinary person. This man is a great opportunity.
"Grandpa, let's wait a little longer. We can't just throw him out."
"Hey…"
There is no other way now, I can only keep it like this.
Nan Xi knew about this when the notice was posted in the city. The imperial edict was posted at the entrance for everyone to see.
The fourth prince in the palace has disappeared, and the emperor is searching for him. There will be a reward for providing clues.
Li Wanwan happened to go to the city that day, and Nan Xi noticed her abnormality.
Nan Xi disguised herself and stepped forward to unveil the list.
In the previous life, the Fourth Prince brought Li Wanwan's family into the capital, but Shanghe Village was wiped out. Nan Xi thought that this must be related to the male and female protagonists.
It’s better to leave early in this life so as not to bring trouble to Shanghe Village.
?
Li Wanwan was both excited and scared. It turned out that the young master had such a noble status. The problem was that he had been in a coma. What if he died?
The Li family was anxious and didn't know what to do.
Li Wanwan looked at the pale and noble face with mixed feelings. The life and death of this young man was related to her future destiny.
"We can't just wait like this."
Li Wanwan took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She tried to calm her inner excitement and fear.
The situation now is urgent and a decision must be made quickly.
It would be bad if we wait until the government officials come looking for us.
Li Wanwan walked out of the house in a frustrated mood. Whenever she encountered troubles, she liked to go out for a walk and she could always find a solution. She subconsciously walked towards the mountain.
Li Wanwan walked for a while and suddenly found a strange meadow in front of him, with crystal light sparkling on the grass leaves.
She walked closer out of curiosity and found that there were dewdrops condensed on the grass leaves. The scent emitted by these dewdrops was so refreshing!
Li Wanwan inexplicably knew that these dewdrops could save the Fourth Prince. She was delighted and immediately collected the dewdrops. She brought the dewdrops back home and dripped them into the Fourth Prince's mouth.
Miraculously, the Fourth Prince's complexion gradually regained its rosy color and his breathing became steady.
After feeding all the dewdrops that Li Wanwan had collected, the Fourth Prince's complexion gradually regained its rosy color.
Seeing this, Li Wanwan smiled and thought that the dewdrops were useful!
After a while, the fourth prince finally slowly opened his eyes.
"You... who are you?" asked the Fourth Prince weakly.
"Young Master, I am Li Wanwan. I saved you while fleeing from famine." Li Wanwan answered softly.
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's eyes flashed with gratitude.
He struggled to sit up and said to Li Wanwan: "Thank you, Miss Li. My...my last name is Xiao. I was hunted down for some reasons, which is why I ended up in this situation."
When Li Wanwan heard the identity fabricated by the Fourth Prince, her heart was as calm as water.
"Master Xiao, just rest and recover. We will take good care of you."
Li Wanwan and her family took good care of the fourth prince.
The Fourth Prince's injuries gradually improved, but this time they did not experience fleeing famine together, nor did they share life and death together, so he did not develop a deep affection for Li Wanwan.
Li Wanwan's skin was too rough and her skin hasn't recovered yet. She looks like an ordinary country girl, not even as good as a palace maid.
The Fourth Prince was very arrogant and looked down upon Li Wanwan.
The Fourth Prince's wounds had not yet healed when he disappeared in the dark night. Only a handful of gold leaves were left in the room as a reward.
Li Wanwan burst into tears. She couldn't believe that the Fourth Prince was gone just like that.
"It was clearly stated in the picture book that the prince and the peasant girl were a perfect match, so why did the fourth prince leave like that?"
Village chief Li couldn't answer her either, but fortunately, Jin Ye Zi was there to comfort Li Wanwan's wounded heart a little.

Lin Xuan has only practiced for a year but has made some progress. He has already developed internal strength. Li Cuiyun's boxing and kicking skills are average, but she has good flexibility.
Li Cuiyun and Lin Ya both prefer hidden weapons and light skills. Lin Ya's light skills are the best among the four, while Li Cuiyun's forte is hidden weapons.
Lin Le was still young and was still practicing the basic skills. He had just started to learn the internal strength and he had only learned the basics of swordsmanship.
Zhao Kangping had long discovered the Lin family's extraordinaryness, so he asked Nan Xi to let Zhao Shitou learn martial arts as well. Nan Xi agreed, and Zhao Kangping and Zhao Shitou now practice together every day.
The troubled times are about to come, and Nan Xi is also making preparations.
