“By the way, wait a moment. I’ll call my husband out to meet you guys!” Li Qiuxiang said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran nodded and watched Li Qiuxiang leave.
After taking out the handkerchief she was carrying, Li Xiaoran wiped her forehead and hair. Then, she sat down and twisted her wet pants.
After Zi Zheng sized up his surroundings, he came to the window to secretly observe the situation.
Soon, a man arrived at the main hall under Li Qiuxiang’s lead.
“Husband, this is my friend, Li Xiaoran, who saved my life back then!” Li Qiuxiang introduced with a smile, “Xiaoran, this is my husband, Wu Dadong.”
Wu Dadong knew what Li Qiuxiang had experienced in the past. It was precisely because he knew that he was very grateful to Li Xiaoran, who had saved Li Qiuxing.
“So you’re the Li family’s girl. Thank you so much for saving Qiuxiang back then and pulling her out of the mud pit. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to marry such a good woman! Since you’re here today, stay here! Let Qiuxiang and I entertain you!” Wu Dadong said warmly.
After Li Xiaoran looked at the rain outside, she nodded and said, “Thank you!”
Wu Dadong turned to look at Li Qiuxiang and said, “Qiuxiang, bring the guests to the guest room! I’ll ask someone to boil some hot water. Go get some clean clothes for the esteemed guests!”
Li Qiuxiang nodded and brought Li Xiaoran and the others to the guest rooms at home.
“Sister Qiuxiang, what does your husband’s family do? Why did they build such a big house deep in the mountains?” Li Xiaoran asked curiously.
“I knew you would be curious about this! Actually, the reason my husband’s family lives here is because they built a pasture here. Our family nurtures cows, and many of the cattle are sold to the authorities. Of course, we also nurture some milk-producing cows!” Li Qiuxiang said with a smile.
When Li Xiaoran heard Qiuxiang’s words, Li Xiaoran’s eyes lit up.
“Milk cow? Are you sure they’re milk cows?”
Although Li Qiuxiang didn’t know why Li Xiaoran was so excited, she could sense that this news was very important to Li Xiaoran, so she nodded.
“It’s true. I even went to take care of those cows! However, there are very few cows, not as manv as scalpers!” Li Qiuxianz said.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked, “Sister Qiuxiang, can you bring me to see the cows later?”
“You should take a hot shower and change into clean clothes first! When the rain stops, I’ll bring you to see them! Don’t worry, I promised you, so I’ll definitely do it!” Li Qiuxiang said with a smile.
Li Xiaoran nodded and thanked Li Qiuxiang before following her to the guest room.
After Li Xiaoran entered the guest room, she thought of something and said, “Sister Qiuxiang, you don’t have to find clothes for us. We’re carrying clothes with us!”
Li Qiuxiang nodded.
“Then I’ll get everyone to boil more hot water and send it to you! Don’t underestimate the rain. You’ll catch a cold if you’re not careful! I’ll get someone to make some ginger soup for you in the kitchen and send you some stoves!
Your shoes and socks should be dried!”
This time, Li Xiaoran didn’t refuse Li Qiuxiang’s kindness.
After Li Qiuxiang left, Zi Zheng walked over.
“Madam, I keep feeling that this family isn’t as simple as they seem!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and said, “Of course. If they don’t have some means, how could they dare to build such a big house deep in the mountains? Didn’t you notice that there are actually many people in this house? Perhaps because it’s raining, everyone is hiding in their rooms to avoid the rain, so we didn’t see many people!”
“I keep feeling that this family is strange. Moreover, why is the person who opened the door someone you know, Xiaoran? Isn’t this too coincidental?!” Shu Ruyue muttered, “We want to find cows, and the other party happens to have cows here! I keep feeling that this matter is too mysterious!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and looked at Wu Qinghe as she said, “Wu Qinghe, divine if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that we’re here.” After Wu Qinghe looked at the rain outside, he shook his head.
“This isn’t a good place to divine! The fengshui of this place is very mysterious! I just took a look. The heavenly secrets are in a mess, so I can’t divine anything at all. I’m afraid we’ll have to experience it ourselves this time!”
Zi Cheng thought of something and asked, “You said before that nothing would happen to us today, didn’t you?”
“Yes, it was like this before, but we encountered a variable!” Wu Qinghe explained.
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment. Previously, she could sense kindness from Li Qiuxiang and Wu Dadong, so at least they were safe now.
Li Xiaoran said, “Alright, we can’t rely too much on divination. Wu Qinghe is right. We have to rely on ourselves! Everyone, be vigilant! Later, Ruyue and I will go take a shower together. After we’re done, it’ll be your turn! Things are safer this way! If this rain continues, we might have to stay here for the night. At that time, we’ll split two rooms first, then gather in one room to sleep.”
Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe nodded. They also felt that this was the best arrangement.
Soon, hot water and a brazier were brought over. Li Qiuxiang also sent a lot of fruits and pastries.
However, Li Xiuxiang didn’t stay long. She only reminded Li Xiaoran and the others to rest after washing up. When the rain stopped, she would come over and call them.
Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue went to wash up first. After they each took a hot shower, they changed into clean clothes and came out. Then, they let Zi Zheng and Wu Qinghe go to the urn next door to wash up.
When the four of them were done washing up, the ginger soup was ready and sent over.
Zi Cheng also had good medical skills. He checked carefully and took a small sip. After confirming that there was no problem, he let everyone drink a bowl.
The ginger soup was very effective. After a bowl of ginger soup, the four of them felt their limbs warm up.
Zi Zheng thought for a moment and said, “Madam, lie on the bed with Miss
Ruyue and rest first! Wu Qinghe and I will guard the door outside!”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and nodded. Then, she pulled Shu Ruyue to sleep under the blanket.
After running around in the deep mountains all day, with a warm blanket, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue quickly fell asleep.
Zi Cheng and Wu Qinghe each moved a long stool. One leaned against the door and the other against the window. Then, they closed their eyes to rest.
It wasn’t that they didn’t have a sense of propriety, but in an unfamiliar place, they had to ensure Li Xiaoran’s safety first..
