It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

Su Wanti arranged Shang Xingjian and the other person to stay in a small thatched house behind the house, which was specially built for storing medicinal herbs.

This thatched house was only used by the original owner.

The herbs she collected from the mountains were all placed here. Some of the herbs were highly poisonous. The original owner was afraid that her family would touch them by accident, so she locked the thatched house every day and did not allow her family to enter.

The original owner's younger brothers and sisters were all very well-behaved and obedient. They kept their sister's words in mind and never wandered around and played near this thatched house.

Therefore, this room filled with the scent of herbs became the best place for Shang Xingjian and his companion to hide.

In the corner of the thatched house were several bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets, as well as hoes, sickles, ropes and other tools needed for collecting herbs.

There are also two rows of wooden shelves in the room, on which are placed seven or eight large bamboo baskets filled with different herbs.

Su Wanti pushed the wooden shelf forward and cleared a clean area at the back of the room.

Then they moved in a few bales of hay from the haystack near the courtyard wall and spread them on the open space.

He went back to his room, found a piece of cheesecloth and spread it on top.

A simple big bed was made.

Shang Xingjian carefully placed An Jing on the bed. Seeing that he was in good condition and his wounds had mostly healed, he was completely relieved.

"Huh——" Shang Xingjian breathed a sigh of relief.

After walking for an hour and a half, his back was covered with sweat, and his forehead and neck were dripping with sweat.

Even the roots of my hair were wet and sticky, and I felt very uncomfortable.

Shang Xingjian frowned. He could even smell the sweat on his body.

After he settled An Jing, Su Wanti said a little embarrassedly:

"Girl, do you have a tub and warm water? I'm sticky all over and want to take a bath and freshen up."

Su Wanti narrowed her eyes. The faint light of early morning filtered through the small window of the thatched hut, and the pale white light cast a soft edge on the small hair on her face.

She was only sixteen years old, with round cheeks and clear eyes. She looked young and innocent, and she looked like someone who would never refuse anyone.

Actually it is not.

The corners of Su Wanti's lips curled up, as if she was smiling.

"A bathtub? Warm water? Do I need to prepare a handful of rose petals, jasmine oil, the best bath beans, and a silk bath towel for you? Do I also need to call two beautiful maids to serve you, one to rub your back and the other to massage your shoulders?"

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, and very gentle, but Shang Xingjian still heard the obvious sarcasm in it.

Since birth, he was a prince raised in the palm of the emperor and empress's hand, and no one had ever said such words to him.

Shang Xingjian was stunned at first, and then his cheeks turned slightly red.

Although he was brought up in a well-fed environment, he was not arrogant by nature.

"No need to go through so much trouble. I just need a simple bath. A bathtub and warm water will be enough." Shang Xingjian waved his hand and said softly.

He thought that he was not a prince who was high above and ignorant of the sufferings of the people. How could an ordinary farmer's home have rose petals, jasmine oil, bath beans, and silk?

He would not make such unreasonable demands.

After hearing his answer, Su Wanti chuckled, "You really dare to think so. Do you know how much firewood is needed to boil a large tub of bath water? The firewood used is enough for my family to cook for a month!"

"There is no bathtub, no warm water, only a wooden basin and cold water. Do you want it, sir?"

Shang Xingjian had no idea how ordinary people lived, and he had no idea that the bath water he was used to using would actually consume a large amount of firewood. After hearing what Su Wanti said, he finally had a rough understanding.

"Then... I want it. Thank you, young lady."

After a while, Su Wanti brought in two steamed buns, a basin of cold water, and handed two pieces of clean linen to Shang Xingjian.

"Wipe the blood off your friend and clean the area around the wound every half a day."

"I'll bring you water and meals at noon and in the evening. You and your friends stay here and don't make any noise."

Shang Xingjian nodded and took the steamed buns and other things.

Looking at the yellow and black mixed flour bun in his hand, he frowned slightly. Is this all he wants to eat? How can he eat this?

"Miss, do you have pickles and porridge?"

Su Wanti glared at him with a cold face, and Shang Xingjian immediately fell silent.

Needless to say, she must have felt that her request was an unreasonable luxury.

Shang Xingjian munched on the steamed bun silently. The bun was made of mixed flour and wild vegetables, and was very choking.

He had grown up in a pampered environment and had never eaten such hard-to-swallow food. But now he was in a difficult situation, hungry, tired, and in order to restore his strength, he could only chew a few more times and swallow it with difficulty.

Seeing that he was having a hard time eating, Su Wanti turned around and went out, bringing in a pot of well water, "Don't choke on your food, drink some water."

Shang Xingjian was gentle and said, "Thank you, Miss."

After saying that, he picked up the kettle, and seeing that there was no cup, he raised the kettle and drank from the spout.

Seeing this, Su Wanti thought to herself: He is not a pretentious person.

After Shang Xingjian drank his fill, he did not forget An Jing who was sleeping.

He poured the water into his palm, dipped a clean linen cloth in the water, and gently pressed it on An Jing's dry and cracked lips.

Su Wanti said, "You can use it for now. I'll bring you two water cups at noon."

Shang Xingjian thanked him.

Su Wanti asked again: "What are your plans for the future, young master?"

Shang Xingjian shook his head.

However, it’s not that he doesn’t have a plan, he just doesn’t want to tell outsiders about his plan.

This woman can take them in for a few days and heal An Jing's injuries. As for the rest, there is no need to tell her.

"Then young master, have a good rest." After Su Wanti said this, she opened the door and went out. She locked the door and went to see her sick mother.

She didn't come back all night, and her mother Zhang Hehua didn't sleep all night.

When it was almost dawn, Zhang Hehua heard a dog barking in the yard. She wanted to get up and go out to see if it was her eldest daughter who had returned from picking herbs.

But she was too weak to get up, so she could only lie in bed, waiting for her eldest daughter to come and see her.

Seeing her daughter finally come back, she was happy and a smile appeared on her gloomy face.

Zhang Hehua was panting, supporting her body with her hands and struggling to sit up.

"Ah Wan, why didn't you come home all night? I was so worried."

"Mother, I went to pick the resurrection grass. The place where it grows is too remote and hard to find, so I came back late."

Su Wanti hurried to the bed, held Zhang Hehua's hand and sat down.

Upon hearing the word "Resurrection Grass", Zhang Hehua's face instantly turned frighteningly pale.

"Resurrection Grass? Ah Wan, do you want to be like your father and deliver the Resurrection Grass to the An family in Luzhou?"

"No, your father had an accident on the way to Luzhou. I can't let you lose his life too. Then our family will be completely broken up..." Zhang Hehua was so emotional that she started coughing violently.

Su Wanti hurriedly stroked her mother's back to help her calm down. After her breathing became steady, she spoke.

"Mother, I did this for a reason. Please listen to me carefully."

"As long as my father's body is not found, I will not give up the search."

"But finding someone is not an easy task. We are outnumbered and we may not find any clues even if we search for ten or eight years on our own."

"It would be great if we could borrow the power of powerful people. They could just move their fingers and say hello to the government office, and then mobilize forces from all directions. Maybe we can find the person."

Zhang Hehua asked, "Do you want to borrow the power of the An family?"

Su Wanti nodded, "That's right. There is one more thing, mother. We can't live in this village anymore. I decided to take you and your brothers and sisters to settle down in Luzhou. If we can get the care of the An family, then our family can also gain a foothold in Luzhou."

"Besides, I also want to open a clinic in Luzhou. The An family can provide the money and support."

Zhang Hehua frowned, "Awan, why do we have to move to Luzhou? Isn't Shanyan Village good? This is where your father was born and grew up."

Su Wanti's eyes were heavy. "Mom, father is missing. If we stay in Shanyan Village any longer, our whole family will be wiped out."

"Don't think that I don't know anything just because you're hiding it from me. Did my uncle and aunt come over yesterday?"
