Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Wei Qiqi: “…”

Come on.

"Well, can you call me sister?"

At this age, it’s not too much to call her sister.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan refused: "No, this won't work. You are my father's wife, I can't call you sister..."

Li Yuan was still stubborn at this time, but as he grew older, he became more unscrupulous.

"Aunt?"

Li Yuan continued to refuse.

Wei Qiqi was convinced, but she couldn't continue to listen to the child calling her mother.

"From now on, you must call me Qi Niang. If you call me anything else, I will not talk to you for a whole day after you call me that."

Wei Qiqi explained clearly.

The child suddenly fell silent.

She thought the child had accepted it and straightened her clothes.

"I will call you Qi Niang from now on, please don't abandon me."

The child's voice sounded depressed, and in the dim light, one could vaguely see the child's calm face.

"I won't abandon you." Wei Qiqi said.

Then he looked down at him and said, "In exchange, I will call you Xiaobao from now on, okay?"

"Xiaobao?"

Li Yuan looked up at her.

"Yes, my little one."

She curled her lips in comfort, with a reflection of fire in her eyes, as if her whole body was glowing.

After the child was visibly happy, Wei Qiqi discussed with him, "Xiaobao, there are all kinds of things in this forest, and someone has to be awake. You go to sleep first, and I'll call you in the middle of the night, okay?"

Li Yuan nodded.

After a while, the child fell into a deep sleep.

Wei Qiqi took this opportunity to think about something.

She remembered what the system had said before, and thought about the reason for her death and the reason for her time travel.

Because he saved a car full of children and did a great deed, he got the chance to live again.

Because there is a noble person among the rescued children, does that mean she has an extra chance to fake her death and save her life?

This is a bit confusing.

What counts as faking death, and what counts as saving one’s life?

Also, when someone worships the Longevity Lamp, a random reward will drop. What does this random reward refer to, is it a thing or an opportunity?

For example, the hole where they hid yesterday, was it really there all the time, or was it considered a reward drop?

There is one last thing: if you want to survive, hold on to your stepson tightly.

How could Li Yuan, an eight-year-old child, rely on him to survive?

What is so special about him?

No, even if he has extraordinary qualities, what can an eight-year-old child do? What can he do when he is being chased?

Is Li Yuan the son of the plane or the son of destiny?

Or there is another possibility, that is, Li Yuan is the male protagonist or villain in a book without her knowledge.

The only thing that can prove this now is that she and Li Yuan were together in the deep mountains for a day and a night without encountering any ferocious beasts.

All I saw were a few rabbits jumping around that I couldn't catch in time.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the second half of the night, Li Yuan woke up by himself and wanted to exchange with her with sleepy eyes.

As he spoke, he stretched out his white and tender fingers to add smaller branches to the fire to show that he was reliable.

Wei Qiqi burst out laughing and told him to call her if he encountered anything.

Under Li Yuan's repeated requests, Wei Qiqi had no choice but to rest her head on Li Yuan's calf.

To be honest, she didn't dare to fall asleep at first for fear that Li Yuan's legs would be broken.

Li Yuan looked at Wei Qiqi carefully in the light of the fire, with a hint of obscurity in his eyes.

Only then could he show a little pain.

He remembered what his wet nurse said about his father being dead, and that his wet nurse had been pierced through the stomach by a sword.

Thinking of Zhao Zhiyou who ruined this happy family situation.

The friend that my father has always trusted.

Li Yuan's eyes became colder and colder.

He would avenge his father and the entire mansion.

And this woman.

She should have been the bride, she should have been his father's stepwife, his stepmother.

But apart from the fear and terror revealed while escaping, there was no sadness at all.

Is she trustworthy?

If Wei Qiqi knew what Li Yuan was thinking at this time, she would definitely retract her previous idea that Li Yuan was just an ordinary, tough kid.

Li Yuan's excessive attempt to understand human nature had not yet allowed her to discover any clues.

The next morning, when Li Yuan was still in a daze, Wei Qiqi had already woken up.

When she woke up, she found herself covered with clothes and the fire was quite close to her. Li Yuan had been maintaining the same posture as before she fell asleep.

Seeing her wake up, Li Yuan moved slowly and stiffly, which made Wei Qiqi frown.

Is this kid stupid or just too stubborn?

Li Yuan was immediately brought out gently and allowed to stand and move slowly.

"Xiaobao, next time you feel uncomfortable, don't keep holding on like this..."

"It's okay, Qi Niang, nothing serious."

The child shook his head.

How can this not be a big deal?

Keeping the same posture for several hours, doesn't she understand how difficult and painful it is?

But his expression was so calm and determined that she was speechless.

The two men packed up and prepared to set off. Today, they were more thoughtful and made a simple backpack with Li Yuan's coat, putting the banknotes and silver in it, and also put some food for the journey.

Continue walking down the direction of yesterday.

The two of them went deeper and deeper.

On the way, Wei Qiqi and Li Yuan each picked up a wooden stick as big as their wrist, which could be used as a walking stick or to deal with emergencies.

The two people walked and rested along the way, and they didn't know how long they walked.

When we took a break again, something unexpected happened.

Wei Qiqi sat opposite Li Yuan unconsciously, lowering her head and fiddling with the fire she had just started. Li Yuan watched her fiddle with it seriously.

He raised his eyes nonchalantly, but his nerves tensed up the moment he saw a brown snake.

"Qiniang, you did a great job."

He stared at the colorful venomous snake that was slowly approaching. At this time, Li Yuan did not forget to communicate with Wei Qiqi. He stood up and picked up the wooden stick beside him.

"I'll get some dew."

Up to this moment Wei Qiqi hadn't discovered anything.

Until she heard a loud knocking sound of a wooden stick behind her, she turned around suddenly and saw a scene that made her heart palpitate.

The child hit the snake's body with the stick. The snake's upper body swayed due to severe pain, and the snake's head climbed up the stick.

Wei Qiqi quickly picked up the wooden stick beside him, then pulled the child over and used the stick to hit the snake that was wrapped around the stick again.

The snake didn't move.

Wei Qiqi observed the snake carefully while holding back the cold sweat.

It was a brown short-tailed pit viper, about fifty or sixty centimeters long.

It was about the same thickness as her wrist.

Wei Qiqi couldn't help but shiver when he thought about how close the snake almost got to them.

She looked at the child, who had a dazed look on his face at this moment. It seemed as if he had just reacted and was staring at her in a daze.

Must be terrified.

"It's okay, Xiaobao, he's already dead, it's okay."

Pat the child's back slowly.

The two people who were still frightened leaned together for comfort.

However, none of them expected that another tiny snake would slowly crawl over from behind this snake.

The snake passed over the dead snake and slowly approached the two people.
