Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

A set of equipment for making corpse powder lay quietly in Xiao Zhixue's space. It had not been used for a long time because of the lack of fresh corpse ash raw materials.

Now, this unexpected gain seemed like a godsend, bringing her one step closer to her goal.

She quickly and carefully collected each grain of ash, her movements revealing an extraordinary skill and calmness.

After dealing with all this, she took out the change from the space and handed it lightly to Fan Yanmu.

"Please, Master Fan, buy me some oranges. I'm a little thirsty."

Although her voice sounded so natural, there was a sly smile in her eyes.

Faced with this sudden "commission", Fan Yanmu couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the piece of silver, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he opened his thin lips slightly, "I have money."

As the eldest son of a marquisate, he had to borrow money from a woman just to buy a few oranges. How could he lose face?

After he finished speaking, he said nothing more. He just turned around and disappeared at the end of the alley shrouded in darkness.

After he left, Xiao Zhixue immediately and carefully put the precious ashes into the space, her movements were quick and covert.

Not long after, when Fan Yanmu returned with a bag full of bright orange oranges, there was no trace of the charred ground, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, he had changed into clean new clothes, and the blood-stained clothes were no longer there.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhixue's eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.

Fan Yanmu is handsome in himself, and he looks even more graceful in his new clothes. Every movement he makes reveals the elegance and composure unique to an aristocrat.

In fact, her original intention of sending Fan Yanmu away was just to make it easier to deal with the ashes. The sentence "I'm a little thirsty" was just a casual remark, and she had already quenched her thirst with the spiritual spring water.

Fortunately, Fan Yanmu did not ask about her needs, which saved her from unnecessary lies and explanations.

She smiled as beautifully as a flower, took the bag of oranges, peeled one carefully, and gently handed it to Fan Yanmu, her words full of gratitude and consideration.

"You've worked hard today. You bought the oranges. Try them first."

When Fan Yanmu saw this scene, a warm feeling surged in his heart. He took the orange and took a big bite. The sweetness seemed to directly nourish his heart, and his face was full of satisfaction and joy.

Xiao Zhixue also peeled an orange and tasted it carefully. She couldn't help but praise: "Fan Yanmu, your choice is really excellent. This orange is sweet and sour, and it has no core. It is a rare good fruit."

After saying that, she walked into the house carrying the remaining oranges, leaving Fan Yanmu alone. The corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, and her heart was as bright as a blooming flower.

Inside the house, Guo Jia had already swallowed the bowl of bitter medicine. His breathing gradually became stable and his complexion looked much better than before.

Xiao Zhixue placed a few golden oranges on the bedside and whispered to the three siblings, "Eat some oranges."

The thrilling experience just now has left them still pale and they have not yet fully recovered from the fear.

Guo Xiao and Guo Jia looked at the oranges in front of them, which represented hope and warmth. Their throats couldn't help but move. They were eager but also worried, and did not dare to touch them easily.

In their view, these were things that their lifesavers had given them, so how could they enjoy them at will?

In comparison, the young Guo Hua seemed more innocent. She was attracted by the tempting oranges at first sight. She couldn't wait to pull her brother Guo Xiao and begged him to peel one for her.

Guo Xiao's expression was solemn. He gently put the bright orange back into the cloth bag, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"Little sister, remember, this is something our benefactor left for us. We can't use it at will."

His voice was stern but full of love.

Guo Hua nodded sensibly, a hint of regret flashed across her crystal eyes, but then she became quiet and said no more.

Xiao Zhixue noticed Guo Hua's eager eyes, and her little mouth moved from time to time, as if she was trying hard to restrain her desire for oranges.

The corners of her eyes curved into a crescent moon, and she smiled gently, "You're welcome, children. This is what I asked Master Fan to prepare especially for you. Eat it."

At this time, Fan Yanmu walked slowly into the room. Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

I thought to myself that this woman really knows how to win people's hearts.

He walked closer to Xiao Zhixue, as if they were in sync, and naturally took over the conversation: "That's right, since I said it's for you, just enjoy it, no need to be polite."

After he finished speaking, he gave Guo Xiao an encouraging look.

After getting permission, Guo Xiao felt at ease and began to peel the orange for Guo Hua.

Then, he carefully fed a petal to Guo Jia who was lying on the hospital bed, but he just watched quietly from the side without tasting a single bite.

He thought to himself that he would never touch these precious fruits unless it was necessary, hoping to leave more for his frail elder sister and greedy younger sister.

When Xiao Zhixue witnessed this scene, she felt even more tenderness and pity in her heart.

She checked Guo Jia's pulse again and found that the medicine mixed with the spiritual spring water had indeed made Guo Jia's breathing much more stable, and his face gradually regained color.

"If he continues to take the medicine for another half a month, Guo Jia's health will improve significantly."

She calculated silently in her mind.

Xiao Zhixue did what she said without any hesitation and directly prepared all the medicinal materials needed for the next half month for Guo Jia in the room.

Although these herbs were "borrowed" from the pharmacy, in her opinion, it was all worth it as long as they could help those who really needed it.

She patiently and carefully packed each medicinal ingredient, and marked detailed decoction methods on each package.

Guo Xiao listened carefully, afraid of missing any details. His focused look made Xiao Zhixue feel that her decision was correct.

When Xiao Zhixue finished explaining how to use the medicine, Guo Xiao looked embarrassed and felt mixed emotions.

"My benefactor, these medicinal herbs must be very valuable. But my family is poor and I am unable to repay you at the moment. Can you allow me to owe you this favor? I will do my best to repay you in the future."

Xiao Zhixue smiled softly, and gently stroked Guo Xiao's head with her fingers, her eyes full of warmth and kindness: "Don't worry, these herbs are just gifts from me to you, no need to repay."

When Guo Xiao heard this, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

He never thought that this benefactor who looked as beautiful as a fairy was so kind and generous in heart.

In excitement, he pulled Guo Hua, and the two of them knelt down in front of Xiao Zhixue with a plop, with gratitude in their eyes overflowing with words: "Thanks to the rescue of the benefactor sister, no matter when and where in the future, we are willing to repay you with our lives!"

Xiao Zhixue quickly helped the two of them up. She was not used to such gifts and looked a little embarrassed.

"Well, I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay long. I'll be leaving first."

After saying this, she pretended to leave.

Guo Xiao reacted quickly, grabbing the corner of Xiao Zhixue's clothes, his eyes full of earnestness.
