The Princess's Deadly Daily Life

Chapter 118: Entrusting an Orphan with His Life

Li Xi knew that he would not let him go easily. This time was different from yesterday when he was in the carriage in the wilderness, where he could get away with just threatening him. It worked then, but now he was already in the other party's territory!

So she could only take it step by step.

Shi Yi looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. She was so beautiful just sitting there that it was a pleasure to watch. The most important thing was that she didn't make any noise and just talked to him quietly... For the first time in his twenty years of life, a feeling of guilt grew wildly in his heart for no reason.

Upon closer inspection, this room is indeed not much better than a toilet, and its appearance is in stark contrast to the filthiness of the room.

His eyes were filled with heat, he picked his toes and scratched his scalp with an awkward smile, wondering how he could have married such a beautiful and virtuous lady!

He explained: "This is the house I built a few years ago. I planned to use it as a place to marry a wife, but I didn't have one. The house was also eaten by insects and leaked on all sides, so I just left it here abandoned. But... at least it can be cleaned up and people can live in it."

Li Xiying frowned and listened to his words thoughtfully.

Half of the Hu pancake in his hand was gone, and he recovered a little bit of his strength. Although it was just a shabby house and a man in a devastated state, it was impossible to escape from this shabby house and this man. He could only get through tonight.

Fortunately, the other party is young and has some fantasies about love between men and women in his heart, and this is her glimmer of hope.

There were old weeds under him with a slight odor. The cool night breeze outside caused the weeds to shatter and fly onto Shi Qi's exposed face. He brushed the flying weeds away and smiled foolishly at her.

Li Xixiao immediately came back to his senses and followed up the conversation by asking, "Then how do you think we should deal with this?"

Shi Yi seemed to have made up his mind and said firmly, "Of course we need to repair and expand it. I want to build a big house for my wife to live in..."

After listening to his long-winded wish, she glanced around...

He realized something and blushed again. He moved closer to sit beside her and said, "Madam, eat quickly. You don't have to worry about anything. As long as you follow me steadily, I will not treat you unfairly. If I have a bite of meat, you will have a bite of soup!"

Li Xixiao felt really uncomfortable after hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.

The candlelight was dim, and it was not even as bright as the moonlight outside. She took bites of the Hu pancake and searched for anything useful around her.

Shi Yu opened up the conversation: "Don't look at the young ladies in the village. Although they are as ugly as me, their standards are higher than the sky. They are greedy for money and looks, and would rather be lonely all their lives than marry."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shi Yi added: "Well, after all, they don't like each other, and they are also afraid of having another child born with poison, which is understandable."

"Madam is the best. Madam's fourth uncle knows the art of medicine. If our child..."

Li Xixiao couldn't help but sneer: "You said that it was all her fault, how good are you? Why don't you say that you are the same? They look down on ugliness, don't they look down on good character? Besides, as the saying goes, 'people go up, water flows down'. When you reach a certain height or achievement, why worry that no one will look down on you?"

Seeing his confused look, she didn't take it seriously, and then smiled and said: "In fact, what you should do is to change the status quo. No one is so ugly. You are just poisoned. Why don't you re-examine yourself after you recover? If you just follow the trend, how do you know what your limit is? I am afraid that even your descendants will not be able to escape the bad luck in this life!"

"Madam, what you said makes sense! But we should think about whether to treat it or not after a long time..." Shi Xi's eyes flashed with brilliance. After saying so much, he had already had some evil thoughts in his mind.

Li Xi continued to chew the Hu pancake, tightly grasped the stone that he could reach on one side, and said with a smile: "Let's take a long-term view..."

"Madam, a good night is rare!"

Shi Qie stepped forward and threw the Hu Bing in her hand away...

The night was as dark as water, but the fire was still burning in the village.

Long Qi was taken around the village by Bahar, who was holding a torch, as if to tell him that although the Yanqi people here and there were old, weak, sick and disabled, they were all his grandfather's people.

Bahar did not abandon them, and Longqi should have shown more compassion.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, how could Long Qi not know what it meant? That's why he followed patiently from place to place, and finally followed Bahar into a valley.

There was a cave where they were walking, and the entrance of the cave was dark and gloomy, but Long Qi stopped at this moment, because Bahar was already standing at the entrance of the cave, and because the Yanqi people beside him were holding torches, he could not see the inside appearance because it was mysterious.

Long Qi looked inside from afar. It was pitch black, looking no different from an ordinary cave, and there was no clue at all from Bahar's expression.

But his patience had already run out at this moment. He thought that Bahar was just going to take him to visit a cave that was irrelevant to him. He stopped and said in a deep voice, "If she is not in there, then we can stop."

"She?" Bahar was stunned for a moment subconsciously.

Long Qi glanced at him with his dark eyes, which were filled with a hint of annoyance as if he was being teased.

Bahar immediately smiled and explained, "Since you have come all this way, don't worry. It won't take long for you to follow me into the cave and take a look." He then pointed inside the cave and said, "Before meeting her, it is necessary to come to this cave. You already know almost everything about our Yanqi Village, so you don't need to waste time here, right?"

Bahar spoke in a leisurely tone, without any intention of forcing anyone, but whenever he mentioned his biological mother, the answers between the lines were full of secrecy.

This made Long Qi hesitate a little. Since he had already visited all the villages, this one wouldn't make any difference.

At this time, the sky was dark and insects chirped at the entrance of the cave.

A cool breeze blew slowly, bringing with it some subtle movements in the cave, which made him a little curious.

With Bahar stepping forward, Long Qi stepped in.

Bahar held up a torch and looked forward. Because the cave was wide, only a small corner was lit. He walked and talked, his eyes welling with tears: "When we first came to Tang after going through many hardships, we lived in this cave. At that time, we almost ran out of food. Hundreds of people lived in this cave and relied on this patch of grass and trees to barely survive."

He raised his sleeves and wiped away tears. "Now that I think about it... Fortunately, I fulfilled the instructions of the former King of Yanqi in my dream and sent my son, who was still an infant, to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Therefore, my son can live a life without worries, and Bahar has fulfilled one of his wishes... But... But there is still one wish, which is what everyone, young and old in Yanqi Village hopes for..."

Long Qi said nothing.

A series of rustling sounds were heard in the cave.

In addition to Bahar's torch, more and more people lit candles, which instantly illuminated the entire place.

There were also many more Yanqi people nearby. No one knew when these old, weak, women and children had arrived, and they were all piled up in the cave.

They knelt down and kowtowed to Long Qi, saying in unison with a strong foreign accent:

"Nanjun, I'm bored!"

There were echoes in the wide cave. Long Qi frowned and turned to look at Bahar.
